Are you really planning to stay away from the business world?

"It's not a plan. I'll only work on projects that interest me from now on. I plan to do the others for now."

Moreover, given the current state of the economy, there's less and less development in the real economy, and good projects are limited. As for emerging industries, we've already dabbled in many, so there's no need to specialize in this area.

"Okay! That way you'll have more time to play with your grandson at home."

"Isn't that right? Kids these days don't have the same good times as before. Look at my grandson, he's only a few years old! He's already going to kindergarten. If this were in the past, kids his age would still be playing in the mud in the fields."

"That's true. But shouldn't my grandson start practicing too?"

"Pretty much, but there's no need to pressure him. Let him take his time! Besides, with his father there watching over him, what do we need to say?"

"Too."

"Mom, is only my little nephew practicing? Don't my uncle's two grandsons need to practice?"

"I don't know? They must have their own plans. Besides, with your uncle around, they shouldn't fall behind. Don't forget, your uncle has retired now, so it's perfect for him to teach his grandchildren."

"I thought you were going to lead a platoon of soldiers again, like you did with us back then?"

"How could that be? There was no other way at that time. Otherwise, your aunt and the others wouldn't have kept the child. They only did it as a last resort, okay?"

Now what's the situation? Not only can each family only have one child, but several adults are watching over this one precious child.

Even if you have many children, there's no need to entrust them to others for care. The adults in the family can manage, so why do that?

"That's true. My little nephew is going to suffer. Not only will he have no one to keep him company, but if he makes a mistake, he'll have to be scolded all by himself. Oh, poor kid!"

"Get out of here, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I ever scold you when you were little?"

"No, but when I was little, the most I was ever punished was by standing in the corner!"

"Isn't that fine? But you mustn't say anything nonsense in front of your sisters-in-law, what if they feel sorry for the child?"

Although this continuous rain is unpleasant, you all know its benefits without me having to tell you!

"Mom, I know, I won't say anything. Besides, even if I did, it wouldn't matter. My sisters-in-law wouldn't worry. Don't you see how capable my older brothers are?"

"Too!"

"Then you can't say too much, you know? You'll understand when you have children. No matter how hard your heart is, it's not worth mentioning in front of your children."

"I understand, Dad! By the way, Mom, what kind of project would interest you?"

"What, you're asking this now too? Or did someone tell you to ask it?"

"It's nothing much, really. It's just that my uncle from the Yan family has been asking me about your work, whether intentionally or unintentionally!"

"Is the youngest uncle of the Yan family Yan Shuangli?"

"It's him? What happened to Mom? Do you know him?"

"I wouldn't say I know him personally, I've just heard of him. He's not a very good person, so you should try to stay away from him in the future."

"The Yan family isn't exactly known for their character?"

"It's not what you think. It's this Yan Shuangli who changes women more often than he changes clothes, but he's doing very well in business."

As for the rest, it's not clear at the moment.

"If that's the case, then his character is really not good. Daughter, you should tell Yan to stay away from his uncle in the future."

“I know, Dad. They were never on the same path, and they won’t have much involvement in the future.”

"That's true. There are some differences between working in the military and working in the government."

The military is much more strictly controlled than the government; how could they possibly have any extra time to deal with outside affairs?

However, we must also guard against people using your name to do things in certain situations.

"No matter what happens in the future, it's fine for Shuangli to act in the Yan family's name, but not for the Shen family. You must understand that the Shen family is your only way out."

"Dad, I know, don't worry!"

"Hey, stop scaring the kids. Actually, Yan Shuangli is a pretty good person. Except for his attitude towards relationships, which I don't approve of, he's not bad in other ways. At least he hasn't been with any shady people."

He is honest and upright in his business dealings; he is not the kind of person who doesn't care about right and wrong.

It's important to know that the Yan family is also a military family, and their ancestors were a renowned clan. There must be established rules and regulations in this regard; otherwise, how could Old Master Yan feel comfortable letting his children get involved in the business world?

"But the temptations in the business world are too great. I'm afraid that something might happen."

"The temptation is not small, but don't forget that people with strong will can shine in any industry."

"Too."

"Besides, this youngest child in the Yan family was sent down to the countryside with Old Man Yan. His mental capacity is no less than anyone else's."

"That's true."

"As for his inquiries about me, if he asks again later, just say you don't know. Besides, how much do you really know or understand about my business dealings?"

When I told you all this before, it was like listening to gibberish; you all wished you could sleep for three days and three nights.

It's a bit better now, but doesn't listening to it too much still make you sleepy?

You'd better not talk about it too much in front of others. What if they believe your boasting and then lose money? Who will they blame then?

"That's true, isn't that misleading young people? We can't do something like that."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry! I know that when his uncle asked me the last few times, I brushed him off. If he asks me again next time, I'll just say that I don't know anything about it, and see how he can keep asking."

Actually, I think he just wants to make more money by following in my mom's footsteps. Otherwise, why would he ask this? Does he think he can compete with my mom?

"It's not impossible, but I think he'd rather I invest in his company. I heard he wants the company to go public as soon as possible."

"Going public, Mom? Is his company doing well?"

"It looks good so far, but it's a bit too hasty to go public now. If we wait another two or three years, we won't be caught off guard if something happens in the future."

"Then what?"

"Tell him exactly what he said next time he asks you!"

Whether he listens or not is his business. If he takes my advice to heart, I might invest in his company before it goes public. If he doesn't, well, my money doesn't grow on trees.

“That’s right, I understand. But I won’t tell him about your consideration of investing in his company. This is a test for him.”
