However, the next second, Zhan Xiuchen realized he was wrong.
Shi Nian has not yet discovered this.
It was obvious that Shi Nian also realized that she was losing control of her emotions.
She lowered her eyes again, her voice tinged with apology: "Mr. Zhan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that, because it has nothing to do with you."
The real target of this questioning should be the president of country A.
President of a country!
So incompetent!
Such bias!
That's why it's like this!
After saying that, Shi Nian added, "I'll take you to see it again."
However, Zhan Xiuchen didn't want to watch anymore.
Two images still lingered in his mind.
In the fields, there are old men, their backs bent from the weight of their labor. They should be enjoying their retirement, but instead, they are still toiling.
There was also a dilapidated bungalow, a mentally challenged son sitting on the bed, a blind mother, and the only plate of meat.
All of this touched Zhan Xiuchen deeply.
He couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Shi Nian, there's no need to look anymore," Zhan Xiu said in a deep voice. "Just state your purpose."
Shi Nian was slightly taken aback.
She hadn't expected that Zhan Xiuchen would understand.
She had an ulterior motive.
But then I thought about it again, how could Zhan Xiuchen not understand?
He is so smart.
Perhaps he had already seen through all her thoughts when he arrived.
Shi Nian spoke softly: "Zhan Xiuchen, although you said you wanted to marry me for ulterior motives, that doesn't mean you're not a good person. Just like you once told me, this world isn't black and white; there are no absolutely good people, nor are there absolutely bad people."
"So no matter what your purpose is in marrying me, I've already decided that you're a good person. So I want to bring you to the slums so that you can see these things, be moved by them, and feel compassion."
"And then help them?" Zhan Xiu asked, "Use my money to help them and improve their lives."
Qin Yajing told Shi Nian that he was very rich.
Therefore, it is no exception that Shi Nian would have such thoughts.
However, Zhan Xiuchen guessed wrong.
My thoughts at the time were not so simple.
She shook her head: "Mr. Zhan, even if you are richer than a country, there are so many people in the slums. It's not something you can just help whenever you want. In the slums, this situation is not one or two people, but thousands upon thousands."
"Poverty can never be completely eradicated, so Mr. Zhan, for the slums, money is not the most important thing; changing the unequal system in Country A is what is urgently needed!"
"Only when slums are no longer slums, only when people in slums enjoy the same rights and the same dignity as people in wealthy areas, only when people in slums are no longer endlessly exploited by people in wealthy areas, will there be true change!"
Zhan Xiuchen was once again shocked.
He looked at it for a long time before asking, "Where did you hear these words? Or in which book did you see them?"
Shi Nian shook her head.
She said, "I came up with it myself."
Zhan Xiu's dark eyes were filled with a deep, unsettling light.
Shi Nian has never received much education.
It is truly remarkable that he could think so deeply.
What a pity.
If she had been born in an affluent area, she would have been able to receive the best education.
With her intelligence, she might be able to get a job at the presidential palace.
She can go very high and very far!
But she happened to be in a slum.
If it weren't for him choosing me.
So even if Shi Nian is very smart, he is destined to live a mediocre life in the slums, like an ant.
Just as Zhan Xiu was deep in thought, Shi Nian suddenly said, "But I read in a book that rich people can participate in elections and sit in the presidency. Is that true, Mr. Zhan?"
"In country A, if you're rich enough, you can become president?"
The last sentence was spoken somewhat abruptly.
Zhan Xiuchen's nerves suddenly tensed.
He suddenly understood what Shi Nian was trying to say.
And there was no obvious time when I was in a hurry.
So anxious was she that she didn't even wait for Zhan Xiuchen's reply before saying, "Mr. Zhan, why don't you run for president? Qin Yajing said you are the richest person in Country A, you are qualified to run for president, and you may even become president."
"Mr. Zhan, why don't you try to change the wealth gap in Country A? The poor are people too, and we shouldn't be treated like this!"
When she spoke, Shi Nian's eyes were burning.
The heat was so intense that Zhan Xiuchen was almost burned.
After waiting for a while, Zhan Xiuchen finally spoke.
As he spoke, his throat was extremely dry: "Shi Nian, if I were to become president, I might not be a good president. You once said that all presidents are birds of a feather."
"So it doesn't matter who's president; what matters is that in your eyes, no president is a good person, right?"
Shi Nian shook his head.
She said, "Mr. Zhan, in my opinion, no one is a good person if they become president, but I know you are different! You are definitely different from those heartless rich people!"
“From the moment you were willing to have dinner with my grandfather, from the moment you were willing to introduce a job to Xiaohu’s father, from the moment you were clearly worried about me but afraid of hurting my self-esteem and sent someone to follow me, I knew that you were different!”
Zhan Xiuchen is different from those rich people.
Over the course of their time together, this realization had already taken root in Shi Nian's heart!
Today, she finally spoke out.
“I’m not familiar with Country A’s electoral system,” Shi Nian said. “I also don’t know when the next election will be, but it will come eventually, sooner or later. So, Mr. Zhan, why don’t you run for president? Why don’t you become president?”
Faced with Shi Nian's urgent and even fervent gaze, Zhan Xiuchen felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest!
