Lin Wei looked at the other person with suspicion, "Are you questioning my ability to handle things? Do you think I'm incapable of solving this mess?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll go head-to-head and bankrupt Boyuan. Where will we go to work then?"
"Upstairs, An Jing has been promoted to vice president, which shows that the food business is developing quite well."
But no matter how delicious the food is, it's not as good as having a relevant major.
"Luckily, we didn't answer it."
However, while Wang Ying was sighing, Zhang Yanyan still kicked her.
"Don't be too happy. Shen is Lin Wei's lover after all. Aren't you afraid that she will feel bad?"
"She wouldn't. If this happened to anyone else, she would feel uncomfortable hearing about it. But Shen is different. He can definitely handle it. Look at Weiwei, she didn't show any worry from beginning to end. That shows how much she trusts him."
Unlike those who merely watched the spectacle, Lin Xiaomeng and Zhang Min were genuinely saddened by Granny Ding's situation.
“Everyone in that dormitory area used to know each other. Grandma Ding lived in the courtyard behind us. We had lived together for decades. Who would have thought that after she died, her whole family would end up like this?”
"Yes, Grandma Ding was devoted to her son, but who knew he would be tricked and his wife would run off with someone else. If she had known this would happen, why would she have made such a fuss? She could have moved out earlier and enjoyed a few more years of happiness."
"Although Grandma Ding is over 70 years old, she is in really good health. She does everything herself, from laundry to cooking, and now—."
The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly somber as they talked, so Lin Wei interrupted them, saying, "Alright, it's all someone else's business. There's no need to let it affect your mood. Everyone has their own choice of which path to take."
"Although that's what they say, well... you know what, I feel like the weather is getting hotter every day. In the past, we used palm-leaf fans to cool off in the summer, and although it was hot, it wasn't unbearable. Later, we used electric fans, and it was so comfortable to sleep. But now, we can't live without air conditioning."
"It's one thing for the weather to get hot, but it's another for people. It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once you're enjoying a good life, who would want to enjoy the life they used to have? Isn't that just forcing yourself to suffer when you can't?"
However, to be fair, Zhang Min didn't come here today just to lament these things.
“My three children studied together since they were little, and after graduating from university, they took the postgraduate entrance exam together. Now they only have one year left before they graduate with their master’s degrees, and I’m worried.”
"What's there to worry about? All three kids are studying computer science, which is a great career choice right now. As long as their degrees aren't just some mediocre ones, they'll definitely be able to find good jobs," Lin Wei said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Min slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I won't say anything about them wanting to find jobs, but these three kids want to start their own business."
Lin Xiaomeng nodded, "Yes, Yuanyuan also told me about this. The three of them want to start a technology company and be their own entrepreneurs."
"Starting a business? That's great! So, what area do they want to focus on?"
"What kind of unmanned equipment, like unmanned cars or unmanned airplanes, doesn't need any human intervention to operate them? That's nonsense. If these things are all replaced, then what's the point of having people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three children opened the door and went back home.
Su Sijin said helplessly, "Mom, technology needs to advance."
“Technology needs to advance, and I’m an old man, I understand that too. But how can technology advance to the point where we don’t need people anymore?” Zhang Min looked at Lin Wei. “Weiwei, you tell me. You’re young, you know a lot, do you think this is feasible?”
Of course it's feasible.
Driverless cars and drones will exist in later generations, but the time gap between them will be quite long.
Moreover, those who study this field are mostly scientific research experts. She looked at the three children in front of her.
Hmm, it doesn't look like it at all.
"Actually, unmanned things are very useful once they are developed. For example, if a missile is mounted on an unmanned ship, no one needs to go there to operate it directly from the back end. Perhaps when the war ends, there will be no casualties among the personnel."
"ah."
This idea is even more absurd than the three children themselves.
"Weiwei, you don't still want to support us, do you?"
"I support this the hell. We all started from scratch. If we want to realize our dreams, we have to rely on our own efforts. Besides, young people are at the age where they should be working hard. If we don't work hard now, when will we? When we're seventy or eighty?"
Zhang Min was taken aback and quickly asked, "What if they fail? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
“It doesn’t matter if time is wasted. You only have one youth, so you can’t leave any regrets. Besides, they’re not without resources. If all else fails, they can go home and inherit the family fortune.”
Everyone burst out laughing at these words.
"I've worked hard for half my life, and now I'm just waiting for them to squander it all, is that it?"
"Alright, let's leave them alone. If they need support, as elders, we can offer some assistance. After all, startups always need funding in their early stages. But what they're trying to do is beyond what our funds can support. If their ideas are good, they'll definitely be able to attract investment to support their continued research and development."
"If they can't find investment, they know they'll have to come back."
The three children kept nodding their heads.
"Look, it has to be my sister, she knows everything." Lin Yuan asked, "So, sister, how much are you planning to help me? Here's what we'll do: I'll write you an IOU, consider it a loan. If I make money, I'll pay you back double, and if I lose money..."
Everyone looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan then said, "If you lose money, it's just bad luck for you, sister. After all, if I lose money, I really don't have the money to pay you back."
“I can lend you money, but our money is the hard-earned money. If you want us to give you money to start a company, we need to see your actions. Have you prepared a business plan? What are your plans for the future, and what will be the direction of your investment after research and development? I need to know.”
But if you understand it so clearly, then the investment will be substantial.
"If I think this project has potential, I might be able to take a strong stake, but everything depends on your business plan."
After Lin Wei finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Min and Lin Xiaomeng and said, "If these three kids really want to do this, then they have to put something into it. If the product is good, instead of giving them the money directly, why don't we invest in the company and become shareholders?"
"This...this...this."
The two old women panicked.
"No, we're both almost retired, why would we do this?"
"Why not? You two are starting your business in middle age, and you haven't even reached retirement age yet. You're in your fifties, which is the perfect time to take risks."
"Goodness, why don't you just say we can't take a proper rest? You're over 50, starting a business in a new field, just thinking about it is exhausting."
But for some reason, there was a strange feeling that it made them feel much younger.
