The second sister, Xu Ruyan, is the least afraid of splitting up the family business. After all, she has more than 20 million fans. When the time comes, she can easily take on a few advertisements and release one or two hit songs. Even if the quality is average, as long as people watch, she can still make money. However, if she continues to stay in the Xu family, a portion of the money she earns will be taken away by her family members, which is something she does not want to see.

"Mom and Dad, since you don't agree to separate the family, you should at least try to find Xu Mo, right? Only if he comes back can we continue to exploit him, right?"

Third sister Xu Qingxue added, "I think second sister is right. If Xu Mo doesn't come back, who will our Xu family rely on to live? Will we rely on Mom and Dad? Or will we sisters rely on ourselves? Actually, we all know our own mediocrity. Mediocre people like us, gathered together, will only drain each other!"

Fourth sister Xu Mengting: "That's right. Only after we separated from the family and had our own money will we know how to save money and how to be self-reliant!"

Fifth sister Xu Mengting: "I have been able to survive until now thanks to the support of my family. I am very grateful to my parents and all my sisters for their contributions. But if we were to separate the family, I would most likely choose to learn to save money."

The eldest sister, Xu Qingcheng, suddenly realized that her sisters shared the same thought: "Mom and Dad, this isn't my fault!"

Xu Anguo and Su Yun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Unlike their usual furious and manic expressions, the two surprisingly did not go berserk this time.

Xu Anguo sighed, "It's impossible to separate the family. This family can't be broken up yet. So, let's do as Xiao Feng said and fulfill Xu Mo's wish. Hopefully, he can come back to continue serving the family out of consideration for our past blood ties!"

Su Yun said softly, "Should I pretend to be regretful? That would probably make him much happier, right? Or should I take my five daughters to apologize to Xu Mo tonight?"

Xu Feng's lips curled up unconsciously: "Mom, your idea is so interesting! I wholeheartedly agree!"

Su Yun asked, "Xiao Feng, you've already been expelled from No. 28 Middle School, aren't you worried?"

Xu Feng shrugged: "Going to school is just for getting a good job in the future, nothing more. As for achieving upward social mobility, that's completely impossible. Besides, I'm already in this family, so I've already moved beyond the bottom class and am now in the middle class. Why should I continue to associate with those good-for-nothings from No. 28 Middle School?"

Xu Anguo raised an eyebrow: "So, you deliberately got expelled from No. 28 Middle School?"

Xu Feng replied, "Otherwise what? What fool would be so stupid as to offend three types of people at the same time—classmates, teachers, and the principal? Besides, don't they just love to see me fall from grace? I'll put on a show for them! I'll be so happy to see them gloating (self-righteous)!"

Second sister Xu Ruyan: "This is the kind of happiness that people at the bottom of society have."

Third Sister Xu Qingxue: "As long as you are in a high enough position and as long as you are outstanding enough, when you fall from grace, they will be happy to laugh at you."

Fourth Sister Xu Mengting: "That bunch of self-righteous idiots, they've been fooled and don't even realize it!"

Fifth Sister Xu Mengting: "A fierce beast roams alone! My brother is a fierce tiger, he simply disdains to associate with them!"

"..." Xu Qingcheng was completely stunned. Only now did she realize that her younger brother had never cared about his school status: "But, little brother, you've been expelled! If you're expelled, you won't be eligible to take the exam. How are you going to get first place in the city?"

Xu Feng chuckled: "Number one in the city? That's a joke. If my brother likes to compete, then let him compete. I never intended to compete with him anyway."

Xu Qingcheng was shocked: "Then why did you ask him for the exam spot! Didn't you say you would take the exam in his place?"

Xu Feng looked at his parents, then at his older sisters, and finally said to Xu Qingcheng with a forced smile, "Mom and Dad, my sisters all know that it was just a joke I made. Eldest sister, you actually believed it?"

Xu Qingcheng glanced at her family. She couldn't see any surprise or astonishment on their faces. Clearly, everyone knew Xu Feng was joking, and no one reminded her!

Thinking of this, Xu Qingcheng's face instantly darkened!

really!

She's the only one in the family who's mentally challenged!

"Xu Feng, why did you do this? If you win first place in the city, you can get more resources, and the Xu family will surely rise to prominence in the future!"

"Big sister, could you please stop saying such stupid things to me? It's so annoying!" Xu Feng twisted his neck as he explained, "Winning first place in the city is not an opportunity for the Xu family, but the beginning of disaster! As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Those who are too outstanding will always be destroyed!"

"In the early stages, the Xu family may indeed obtain more resources, but in the mid-to-late stages, they will inevitably be suppressed by all the businesses in the city. At that time, the Xu family's bankruptcy will only be a relatively mild outcome. It's normal for them to owe tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of yuan, okay?"

"Xiao Feng, if you are truly outstanding, then why don't you prove yourself in the workplace?" Xu Qingcheng asked, unable to understand.

Xu Feng pouted and didn't answer the foolish question.

Xu Anguo then spoke up: "Qingcheng, don't think that just because you've managed an investment company for a few years, you know everything. In fact, many things are not as simple as you think."

Su Yun continued, "Years ago, our Su family patriarch told me that those who start companies are never really starting companies, and they are never really selling technology. The main purpose of starting a company is not to make money by selling products, but to develop connections!"
