Chapter 390- Heart-wrenching Education Issues

"How could I have spoiled him? He's still so young. You're being too strict with him. A seven or eight-year-old kid is practically doing live streaming on his own, and he manages everything so clearly and logically, with clear steps. He's a master himself, what else do you want from him?"

A child of this level would be treated as a treasure in every family, right?

Shi Feiye felt that Qin Bulu was really asking too much of her. Even though she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she was only just getting ready to go to college and hadn't done anything yet. She hadn't earned a penny.

"Have you ever thought about what Qin Si will do in the future?" Qin Bulu suddenly asked.

"No, Xiaosi is still young. He has to grow up and decide what to do. I don't think parents should interfere."

"His parents' original shares in Qin's have depreciated as the company has changed hands. They will only give him a fixed annual income, and when he grows up, this income may not even exist. I won't pass on my business to him, so he will have to earn his own fortune in the future. If he doesn't use the resources to grow while he's still at home, what will he do when he grows up?"

Shi Feiye was puzzled: "You don't plan to hand over your business to him in the future, why?"

"First, he's in his twenties, and I'm still in my prime, so I might not want to retire. Second, what I'm doing is very complicated, and he might not be able to handle it, and he might not like what I'm doing. Third, we'll have our own children in the future, and I must prioritize the interests of our children, regardless of whether they're boys or girls. Finally, to avoid conflicts of interest arising from adoption and distorting the child's values, the best solution is to not get involved from the start."

Qin Bulu's reasons were very sound. They sounded cold-blooded, but they were very realistic. He really didn't intend to let Qin Si inherit his family business.

But Master Feiye didn't like what he said:

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but if Xiao Si doesn't like what you do, does that mean our child will definitely like it? What if he doesn't like it either? Have you told Xiao Si about all these things you're thinking? He's so young, and you're talking to him so rationally. He might be sad, not to mention that he might actually like what you do."

If Shi Feiye were to choose, she would think that if Xiao Si liked Qin Bulu's career, then it wouldn't matter if she inherited part of it. The family had enough money to spend, and even if they had children in the future, they might like something else. Isn't it a bit too much to jump to conclusions so early?

"If they don't like it, then find someone else to manage it. If Xiaosi likes it, he can start his own business in the future. But right now, don't give him any hints. You need to teach him not to rely on anyone. I've already talked to him, and he knows what he should do."

Otherwise, Qin Si wouldn't have immediately reflected on himself after hearing Qin Buzhu's words, and wouldn't have taken the time to correct his mistakes without even a single complaint.

"Then what did you do with the income from his shares?"

"I contacted a financial expert to help him manage his finances. He can see the income at any time, and all the income is in his name. However, I will keep an eye on him secretly to ensure that he will not be cheated." Qin Buzhu suddenly smiled:

"With this kind of wealth now his own, even if he can't spend it now, he's already consciously started learning about wealth. At least now he knows the basics, so he won't be ripped off by others."

Shi Feiye muttered, "But I think you're still too cruel. You're basically forcing him to grow up."

"He's lucky enough to be born into the Qin family. Other children who lost their parents at a young age might not have it any easier in an orphanage. They might still face hunger and cold, and the things they do won't help their futures. In contrast, his hard work will be rewarded in the future, so he should be happy."

There was no way, Qin Buzhu was such a rational person, he felt that he did nothing wrong:

"You have to know that everything Xiao Si enjoys now is something countless people would only dream of. Social stratification is becoming increasingly serious these days. For someone to have the resources and conditions Xiao Si enjoys now often requires the unwavering efforts of several generations of ancestors. If he finds it arduous, I can help him relax, but you've also seen his own choices."

Shi Feiye scratched his head, not knowing what to say:

"Okay, you're right. Maybe it's because I grew up in a different environment, so I'm still not used to this way of thinking. Will our future children have to live like this? Will they be like those wealthy children I used to see, who have to receive elite education since childhood and must be better than others?"

Shi Feiye was terrified. She couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought about her child not being a genius like Ye Yuanzhi, or as smart as Qin Si, and having to live such a hard life.

In Shi Feiye's eyes, even though everything in the world cannot escape the force of the jungle, disguised as "propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame," if the child is truly not that smart, then it's fine for him to just be an ordinary person and live his life foolishly.

Qin Bulu rarely saw frustration and helplessness on Shi Feiye's face, and when he suddenly saw Shi Feiye showing such an expression, his heart seemed to be tugged.

Without a second thought, he immediately hugged Shi Feiye and kissed her forehead:

"No, that's not the case. We will of course educate our children to be excellent, so that they can participate in more advanced resource games and even gain an advantage in them."

After a pause, he seemed to have made up his mind to give in:

"But if he truly can't do it, whether it's due to a lack of talent or objective conditions, I will pave the way for him in advance. At the very least, I'll ensure that he develops sound values, broad knowledge, and a long-term vision, and that he can achieve success in the things he loves."

If you can't be a leader who benefits one's own region, a businessman who benefits all people, or a researcher or writer who promotes technological advancement or cultural prosperity, then being a happy industry pioneer is fine.

"What if I can't even achieve something in the things I love?" Shi Feiye was still worried.

Qin Buzhu felt choked for the first time in his life. He pondered:

"Neither of our families has a history of genetic diseases, and our IQs are fine. If you become pregnant, you'll definitely receive the best care. Therefore, as long as our child receives a normal education, he or she should be able to become an excellent ordinary person."

However, when it came to the issue of the child, Shi Feiye refused to give in at all:

"But what I'm talking about is hypothetical. What if the child really can't do it? Your idea is wrong. How can you force a child to be excellent when he can't do it?"
