The circle culture was quite good at first.
Most of the time, it's just people getting together. For example, if everyone likes antiques, they'll get together and look at this person's collection and that person's collection. Occasionally, if they find something they like, they'll see if they can exchange it. They'll help each other out. Or they might go to a place where something good is for sale and go together. In essence, this behavior is similar to how girls in school would go to the bathroom together or boys would agree on a time to play video games together.
Yes, it's that simple.
However, later, new members joined the circle, and some people discovered the benefits within the circle.
Gradually, things changed. To be honest, when faced with profit, so-called hobbies can actually be set aside.
The key to strength lies in having no desires, which is the magic weapon that Lou Xiao'e taught Xu Yuanzheng.
Because Xu Yuanzheng loved medicine, his family had the confidence to let him refuse anything other than medicine.
Since that's the case, let him just be himself; there's no need for him to get involved in these dirty affairs.
This answer reassured Lian Nuannuan considerably.
She'd be terrified if you asked her to attend some high-society gathering.
In fact, after their marriage, Qin Jingru did take her to one such gathering, but it wasn't some social gathering of wealthy women. Instead, it was a collectors' gathering led by Qin Jingru herself, which really opened her eyes. Everyone there didn't talk about profits; they just chatted about who had some good finds recently, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious. This made her think that her mother was probably just trying to intimidate her.
Xu Yuanzheng and Lian Nuannuan's marriage went very smoothly.
This matter was discussed by Wang Shouren and Xu Weiwei at the Lian family's residence.
They didn't encounter any difficulties.
After discussing it, the two families decided to have a simple family meal and a small wedding. Even though Nuannuan liked a lively atmosphere, she was hesitant to go through with anything too extravagant after being intimidated by her mother. Who knows what important figures might attend if the wedding were to become a big affair? It would be awkward if she didn't feel like the center of attention at her own wedding.
So, the two families had a simple meal, without mentioning anything about going to the bridal chamber; it was just lunch.
That's quite rare.
It's simple, but the food is anything but. Lobster, abalone, premium beef—all sorts of delicacies are served in abundance. Most are high-end products from "Qin Family Village." Yes, there are now similar high-end products in China, like the A-series from Xiao Ri Zi. These are cultivated in-house by "Qin Family Village."
As people's living standards improve, "Qinjiacun" has not only focused on the low-end wholesale market, but has also kept up with the high-end market.
Lian Xingwen thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The finest ingredients and the best chef made it all worthwhile for his sister's wedding. Lian Xingwen's girlfriend, meanwhile, curiously observed everything in the mansion. Accompanying her boyfriend today had broadened her horizons; he was truly wealthy, and the food was delicious.
After lunch.
Qin Jingru then took out a large bunch of keys and the property certificate, gesturing for the young couple to come over.
"Here, Xiao Yuanzheng, these are the assets your father gave you before. With my management, they've multiplied several times over. Seeing that you're not really interested in these things, I've converted them all into real estate. Real estate in Beijing should continue to appreciate. You two shouldn't sell unless it's absolutely necessary. Just collect the rent regularly; you should be able to earn a few million a month. That should be enough."
Lian Nuannuan swallowed.
"Oh!" Qin Jingru seemed to remember something, and took out another property ownership certificate, handing it to them: "This was prepared for you by your two older brothers. They said they would help you with the renovations, but I think it's better for you to do the renovations yourself, since everyone wants to decorate their new home themselves. They said they'd give you a surprise, you know, they're working on some kind of smart home system, saying it'll be very convenient to move in. Go take a look, and if you don't like it, you can just buy another one and decorate it yourself."
Lian Nuannuan: ...
Well, look at that, is this what a normal person would say?
If all else fails, we can just buy another set.
This is truly...incredibly joyful.

Inside the courtyard house.
Wang Shouren and his wives were packing their things.
Qin Tian arrived with his hands behind his back, and was somewhat bewildered when he saw the few people busy in the yard.
"What's going on? Are we moving?" Although Qin Tian's hair was completely white, he was still quite robust, thanks to Wang Shouren who helped them take care of their health.
But the current situation completely stunned him.
"yes."
"No, you're already this age, where are you planning to move to?" Qin Tian said, puzzled. "Are you just making things up like this?"
"What are you thinking? I'm planning to retire in the south." Wang Shouren rolled his eyes. "Besides, it's only you who'll get old, not me. I'm still quite young."
"No, you've spent your whole life in Beijing, why are you planning to go south now that you're old?" Qin Tian couldn't understand.
To be honest, the retirement conditions here are just so-so.
But this is just so-so; it's not aimed at this group of people. Wherever the wealthy go, their retirement conditions are top-notch. In fact, with their financial resources, it doesn't make much difference whether they go to the south or the north.
"Old Qin," Wang Shouren said with a sigh, "I'm a businessman."
Qin Tian frowned, feeling that Wang Shouren's actions were unnecessary.
The conversation ended after three minutes.
Then, Wang Shouren greeted him again: "How about coming over for a barbecue tonight? I've invited a few friends. Want to come along?"
"I won't come. I'm too old to handle your stuff. But are you really not going to reconsider?"
"No." Wang Shouren shook his head and ignored him, then began directing people to move things. Qin Jingru was the most enthusiastic in directing, as her things were very valuable.
Qin Tian strolled over leisurely, then left with a heavy heart.
Lou Xiao'e stood to the side with her arms crossed, revealing a smile that was hard to decipher; "You really are shameless."
Wang Shouren rolled his eyes: "That old guy has caused me so much trouble for so many years. If I don't give him some trouble, he'll start thinking about all sorts of things all day long."
"They're already so old, aren't you afraid of shortening their lifespan?"
"What's there to be afraid of? He's not much older than me. Besides, if we really go down there, it's not certain who will hurt whom."
"Is everything ready? I'm inviting a few close friends over for a get-together; it'll be a way of saying goodbye."
"You really are shameless..."
"Hey, you're really into talking about it."
