Chapter 440 Insatiable



Because she found this home very interesting.

Qin Jingru, who never seems to grow up, has countless parties waiting for her. This girl spends all her free time running around during the day.

When Lou Xiao'e went out with Qin Jingru, she felt like a country bumpkin.

Goodness, she felt like all the socialite parties she'd experienced in the first half of her life had been a complete waste. The new generation of socialites genuinely made her happy. Why? Because there was so much entertainment to see.

The socialites of her generation, to put it bluntly, were actually a kind of resource exchange.

For example, today this lady opened a shop and wants people to come and make a splash, so she organizes a socialite party.

Tomorrow, this woman's husband is in some trouble and she wants to find someone to help her. She's also holding a socialite gathering to build connections.

The day after tomorrow, we might feel the relationship has cooled down, so we'll have another one.

As for the content of the gatherings, it was nothing more than drinking coffee and making pretentious conversations. She felt completely exhausted after each socialite event.

What is the essence of a socialite club?

Exchange of benefits.

Therefore, most of the socialites who attend these socialite parties will pretend to present their best side. If they lose face, they will be ostracized by the entire circle, which will cause them a lot of trouble.

But Qin Jingru's socialite gatherings were different. They never talked about interests or anything like that; they just gossiped, chatted about what was fun in Beijing, or what had happened to one of their girlfriends. The group chattered away, not taking anything seriously, but entering these socialite gatherings gave Lou Xiao'e only one feeling: relaxation.

Without any conflict of interest, she could do whatever she wanted. She didn't even know how this woman had managed to organize this group of noble ladies together and make them all act like a happy husky.

Qin Jingru's happiness didn't stop there; she also enjoyed learning from the group of antique collectors and acquiring their knowledge.

What about how things were in the palace, how things were during the Ming and Qing dynasties, how things were crafted during the Song dynasty.

She finally understood where Wang Xirou got all that material from the press conference – it all came from listening to her mother. Don't underestimate these antique collectors; they can effortlessly draw upon knowledge and stories about antiques, and even glean clues from obscure books that aren't recorded in official histories.

That's why hobbies have such a powerful influence.

Going out with Qin Jingru was interesting, but watching the two sisters, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, bickering after returning home was even more interesting.

Qin Huairu was the quiet type; time hadn't left many marks on her, instead making her increasingly like a lady from a respectable family. She didn't like to go out much. Occasionally, she would visit her two daughters, seemingly to let their husbands know that their mother was still alive. Aside from that, her hobby at home was reading.

And then there's the matter of scolding Qin Jingru.

In her opinion, Qin Jingru's playful nature should be toned down. She's a grandmother now, and she's still causing trouble like this. She doesn't seem like a reliable person.

At this point, Qin Jingru would pat her chest and argue with Qin Huairu, telling her who the rightful mistress of the house was.

To be honest, the core content of each argument was pretty much the same, but each argument was particularly interesting. Lou Xiao'e laughed heartily while watching, which was much better than going to see a crosstalk performance.

She even regretted staying in Hong Kong before. If only she had come back sooner, she could have been this happy every day.

Now that Qin Jingru has stopped causing trouble, it's Qin Huairu's turn.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wang Shouren covered his face. "Can't you just tell me what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu blinked, sighed, and said resentfully, "None of the leaders of Qin Family Village are from Qin Family Village. What are we going to do?"

“That’s inevitable.” Wang Shouren said with some helplessness, “Qinjia Village has developed too fast. If it’s just about doing small business, opening a small shop, or being a shop manager, they can handle it. But in the future, they will definitely not be able to handle management and the overall development of the company. There is a lot of knowledge involved. They need to keep learning.”

"Kui Datou, you should know that I earned my first pot of gold with their help, but after that, I didn't take them with me when I opened the factory. The main reason was that they couldn't keep up."

Even setting aside starting a company in later generations, starting a company today still requires knowledge.

For example, if you run a farm, a knowledgeable person would know that you need to ensure the source of feed and keep the chicken coop clean—these are the bare minimum. Going forward, how should the farm develop? Should it move towards automation? And what kind of machinery would be needed, how would you purchase it, and where would you buy it?

Then, does the farm need to research the breeder chickens it should have? Some chickens will become worse with each generation, so what strategies should be used to deal with that?

These are all things that uneducated people cannot understand.

Many villagers think that a poultry farm is nothing special; it's just about feeding chickens, getting them to lay eggs, and then selling them. In reality, it's much more complicated than that.

If, during this period, one villager were to follow the village's college students to learn their knowledge, verifying it through books and visiting more developed places outside, then that person might have the potential to become a leader. But none of the people in Qin Family Village, no matter who they were, were willing to learn.

Even Wang Shouren couldn't do anything about this.

Their capabilities are what they are; if the people of Qin Family Village are allowed to continue leading the way, this place will be doomed sooner or later.

"You yourself served as a village chief for a period of time, so you should understand how difficult it is."

Qin Huairu was arguably the most hardworking person in Qin Family Village, but later she found that her energy was increasingly failing her, which already spoke volumes.

"Do you have any good solutions?" Qin Huairu asked.

“No.” Wang Shouren shook his head. “Protecting oneself from poverty and wealth for a lifetime is enough. Everyone has their own destiny. Besides, aren’t their current dividends enough? Moreover, later on, they have the right to appoint people. Whoever does well will be promoted, and whoever doesn’t will not be promoted. It’s a very simple matter.”

"Is this... okay?"

"At the very least, could you ask your third uncle to go to the village and talk to them?"
