Upon hearing this, Chen Rou slammed the dice cup down on the table.
Just moments ago, she was dressed in a black dress, exuding elegance and captivating beauty, but now she has a fierce expression.
Actually, A Yuan is very similar to her, especially when she gets angry; when she purses her lips, they are very alike.
Nie Zhao was startled by his wife's sudden outburst of anger, as was his son in his arms, who grabbed him sharply.
Holding his son tightly, though trembling inside, Nie Zhao was unconvinced. His fearless gaze met his wife's; he was determined to defend himself today.
After all, as a profit-driven, ruthless, cunning, and treacherous businessman, Nie Zhao had always felt that his wife was so good to him, risking her life to protect him. Even if she didn't love him as a person, and even if she didn't love him, she still needed more training, but she couldn't compare to the physical strength of her comrades.
However, her motivation for doing all that was that she at least thought he was a good person.
He himself has always considered himself a good person.
Ask yourself honestly, whether it's a company in Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe, or mainland China, has he ever evaded taxes? No.
Did he ever withhold employee benefits? Not only did he not, but he also helped the government create many jobs.
Furthermore, whether it's real estate, jewelry, electronics, or the hotel industry, even if some hotels in certain areas have associated sex industries due to the nature of the industry, they are all doing clean business, not gambling.
Furthermore, and most importantly, while Boss Wen is said to have three wives and four concubines, he is not.
He wasn't saying that he didn't seek pleasure simply because he was afraid of dying; rather, he was a person with ideals.
He was willing to spend that time on his wife and son. He didn't want his son to grow up wildly, nor did he want him to be like Boss Wen, who randomly created a bunch of children and then let them fight freely and grow wildly.
He is willing to take on more responsibility so that his child can start from birth on a higher starting line than others.
All of this is enough to show that he is different from Boss Wen.
That also means that he responded to and repaid for the sacrifices made by the ICPO members in the Philippines and for Chen Rou's companionship over the years. It also means that the eight years Mrs. Nie spent with him were not wasted or a waste of time. Her efforts, sweat, and blood were not shed in vain.
Of course, in short, he felt he was a good person and he was not convinced.
However, Chen Rou's single sentence instantly broke the silence of Boss Nie, who had been holding back his sarcastic remarks for so long.
She said, "To be frank, you and Boss Wen are both capitalists, and you use the same methods."
He paused and then said, "When Cai Mingli went out on his own, you instructed Wade to suppress him, which led to the underperformance of his new product in collaboration with the Korean company. The Korean side withdrew its investment, and he became just an ordinary worker."
Nie Zhao was speechless after being rebuked by his wife. Of course, when it comes to market competition, he and Boss Wen are indeed in the same boat.
The only thing that allows him to stand tall and be assertive in front of his wife is monogamy.
As for that, Chen Rou could retort, "Of course, you can have three wives and four concubines."
Then she threw all six dice into the dice cup, shook it gently twice, and instead of being angry, she smiled.
Then he added, "Ah Han is so outstanding. If you marry another wife, you can arrange for her to work at the company. In time, you can be a hands-off father-in-law like Boss Wen, and we'll help you with the business."
That's not a good thing, because it will disperse wealth and cause various problems with investments.
Today, when Boss Wen, the gambling king, met Nie Zhao, he kept complaining, saying that compared to business, women are the most difficult to deal with.
Nie Zhao didn't have many women, nor had he experienced any problems in that area. However, after meeting the fourth wife of the Wen family, he could tell she was a ruthless woman. As for the second wife of the Wen family, he already knew how formidable she was. Just imagining the two women fighting was quite frightening.
But Chen Rou brought up a new idea, saying, "You keep talking about the same thing: reducing costs and increasing efficiency, right?"
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency is something every business owner strives for.
But what does Chen Rou mean?
She stood up, still gently shaking the dice cup in one hand, and forced Nie Zhao to stand by the table before saying, "In our family, A-Yuan and I spend far less than you. If we had a few more trusted assistants, we'd need to cut costs and increase efficiency..."
With a thud, she slammed the dice cup onto the table, stepping over him: "We'll get you kicked out first!"
What she said is actually true. Take the Wen family for example. If the wives unite, divide the shares, and kick Mr. Wen out, their annual living expenses will be much lower. Cutting costs and reducing the boss's burden is a good option.
Furthermore, if Boss Wen were to get a little older, given the excellence of his wives, they would probably prefer him to be a puppet.
Age is a terrible thing. Even though Boss Wen refuses to admit he's getting old, he has indeed aged.
During the conversation, Nie Zhao could see his shrewdness, but he could also see the dullness that came with age.
It's also clear that as he gets older, he will follow in Nie Rong's footsteps.
But Nie Zhao didn't want to be like Nie Rong. His wish was to give A Yuan a family business when he was in his thirties and reached adulthood, so that he could squander it and lose money. He would then set a time limit for A Yuan to turn forty.
By then, he will be seventy years old, and Ah Yuan will have to suffer for ten years before he is ready to take over.
By then, he hoped that A Yuan wouldn't despise him like Nie Rong did, and that he could help take care of his grandson.
Of course, if he could have another daughter, Nie Zhao might change his plans. But the basics are the same: in his life plan, there is only one wife, Chen Rou, and only one woman. They are husband and wife, lovers, and business partners. Now that they are middle-aged, they probably have another 30 or 40 years to work hard. He will devote all his energy to one family, and at most raise two children, but they will definitely be the best. This is different from Boss Wen.
