The dinner finally finished after an hour and a half. Du Chen was mostly chatting with Li Dewen and didn't eat much, but Du Bin had a full belly.
"Brother Li, it's getting late. I'm going home with my brother and sister first. We've said everything we need to say! Wish us a grand opening tomorrow!"
Du Chen looked at the time and saw that it was indeed getting late, so he stood up and spoke to Li Dewen, preparing to end the conversation tonight.
"Okay Du Chen, I wish us to make a fortune together!"
Li Dewen said this while feeling a little drunk.
"Xia Mi, you can send Du Chen and the others back first. I'll stay here to sober up and wait for you to come back and pick me up!"
After talking to Du Chen, Li Dewen turned around and gave instructions to Xiami.
"Brother Li, there's enough room in the van. Let's go together! We don't have to come back to pick you up, it's getting late!"
Du Chen said casually to Li Dewen.
"No, no, I feel a little dizzy now. Let me sit here for a while to sober up. I'm afraid I'll get carsick if I'm riding in a car now! You guys can go back and don't worry about me!"
Li Dewen quickly rejected Du Chen's kindness.
"Alright then, I'll leave you alone. Let's go first, and you can pick up Brother Li later!"
Along the way, no one spoke. After a while, the car stopped not far from the eyewear store.
"Here we are, we'll be back in a few steps. Go back and pick up Brother Li. Go slowly!"
Du Chen gave Xiami some instructions and then walked towards the glasses store with Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, what do you think about tonight?"
On the way, Du Chen asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao with a smile.
"Chenchen, this feels so difficult. There are so many things to consider, every aspect must be considered!"
Ding Miaomiao sighed to Du Chen.
"Sister Miaomiao, no, honestly, I'm kind of regretting my decision. It's too much trouble. I need to deal with various departments and I can't offend anyone. Every aspect needs to be considered meticulously. Luckily, I just came up with an idea and left the rest to Li Dewen and Xiami. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time or energy to handle so many things on my own!"
Du Chen was also telling the truth, but in order to be able to lie down and rest in the future, he might as well do more now. Besides, the timing is better now, as it will be more difficult in the future.
"Chenchen, is it okay for you to hand over everything to Li Dewen and Xiami? You're just a hands-off manager, and all the operations depend on them. What if they do something sneaky?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen with some concern. After all, Du Chen had already invested more than 200,000 yuan. No matter what time it was, 200,000 yuan was not a small amount.
"Brother, you're right. Do you have any ideas? After all, I still have to go to school every day, and I don't have time to manage it!"
Du Chen smiled and asked Du Bin if he had any good ideas.
"Why don't you ask your parents to come and help?"
Du Bin said to Du Chen.
"Brother, I don't want my parents to know about this yet. If they knew, I wouldn't be able to participate, and I'd get beaten! This could be considered a test for myself."
Du Chen briefly expressed his thoughts.
"Also, even if I tell Mom and Mom and ask them to come over to help, who's going to look after Mom's glasses shop and clothing store? Who's going to look after Dad's two repair shops and used car shops? Those places also need people, right?"
"third……"
"What? There's a third one?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen in surprise.
"Of course not. Thirdly, your parents will eventually grow old and retire. Don't you want them to have a life of their own? Are you going to be busy all day just to make a few pennies?"
Du Chen asked Du Bin back.
"How could that be? I definitely hope my parents can retire early, so they don't have to worry so much and be so tired, and they can have some time to go out and have fun!"
Du Bin said quickly, and Ding Miaomiao nodded in agreement.
"So, a lot of things have to rely on ourselves. And even if I say I have time to take care of things here, does that mean I have to spend all my time on work? Brother, Sister Miaomiao, let me ask you, what is the purpose of our work?"
Du Chen decided to brainwash Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Of course we work to make money and to live!"
Du Bin answered Du Chen's question as a matter of course.
"We work to make money, but that's for survival, not for living! What is life? Enjoying every day of being alive, seeing new things, traveling around the world, enriching ourselves, and satisfying our spiritual world—that's called living! Working for the basics, is that called living? That's called survival!"
Du Chen tried hard to instill "bad" worldviews and values into Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"Chenchen, shouldn't we study and strive to change the world?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen somewhat idealistically.
"Sister Miaomiao, I don't have such a big ideal. That's too far away from me. I don't have such great ability either. I'm lucky enough to manage my own little piece of land well!"
Du Chen said to Ding Miaomiao happily.
"Then what is your ideal, Chenchen?"
Ding Miaomiao then asked Du Chen, and Du Bin was also staring at Du Chen seriously, wanting to hear Du Chen's answer.
"My ideal is very simple! I want the people I care about, and the people who care about me, to be happy and healthy every day, without having to worry about life! I want to have the time and conditions to do what I want to do! Like modifying cars, taking photos, making handicrafts, etc., and I'll feel very satisfied!"
Du Chen spoke of his ideal with some longing. Although it seemed simple, it was based on certain material conditions.
"Chenchen, your ideal is great! I'll make this my goal and my ideal from now on!"
After hearing Du Chen's words, Du Bin felt that this was just talking about his own inner thoughts, so he immediately spoke to Du Chen happily.
"Chenchen, we haven't finished talking about the topic just now, please continue!"
Although Ding Miaomiao didn't quite understand Du Chen's ideals, she respected them. Plus, time was still a long way off. Perhaps Du Chen's ideals would change? Perhaps her own thoughts would change, too. So Ding Miaomiao said nothing and continued with the previous question.
"Yes, Chenchen, let's continue with the previous topic!"
Du Bin also remembered the previous question and urged Du Chen to speak quickly, as they would be back at the eyewear store in just a few steps and would definitely not be able to continue chatting then.
"Okay, back to the previous topic, I have the time and energy to deal with these things, but making money is for a better life. If I'm busy every day and I don't enjoy life, then what's the point of making money?"
Du Chen asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"That's right. So how do you solve this problem? If you leave it all to others, won't they cheat you? Wouldn't that just put us right back to square one?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen puzzledly.
"Brother, then you should help me think about it carefully. This is also a problem you will encounter sooner or later!"
