"No need, I've already had someone teach him a lesson!" Duoduo said with a smile.
Lu Feng discovered that his son had learned to be quite thick-skinned. Nowadays, kids blush as if they want to bury their heads in the ground when the topic of dating comes up, but this kid never blushes.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyan had only eaten half of her meal and was sitting there looking somewhat lost, Lu Feng said to Duoduo, "Let's go out and play after we finish eating. I'll chat with your mom for a while."
After Duoduo left, Lu Feng looked at Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Don't be so discouraged. It's not that you have to be successful in your career to have a perfect life. There are many kinds of success. Making a lot of money is the most vulgar kind of success."
"Is it because I'm incompetent?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, glancing at Lu Feng.
"It's your personality that's the problem. You're too indecisive sometimes. A kind heart can't govern an army, and a righteous heart can't manage finances! When you were managing the small factory, the people below were lazy and easy to talk to. You need to have a temper to run a small business, but you need to have a system to run a big business!"
"Moreover, once a company grows large, it needs to make judgments about the market in the next few years. Rash expansion is a dead end. A company like Hurricane Capital needs to be aware of the global situation. Let me put it this way, if you go back ten or twenty years, you won't see anyone who has risen up like me!"
“I’ve always hoped you could return to the family, although it’s not fair to you to say this. I built Huasha’s career so that you would have something to do and not stay at home all the time and get sick from it. Of course, the choice is yours. If you still insist, Duoduo can stay here, and I’ll take care of her!” Lu Feng said, looking at her.
"She won't adapt to this environment!"
“Then she can stay here and study in Shenzhen. After July, I’ll try to find a way to get her a travel permit and a helicopter. It won’t take much time to travel back and forth each day,” Lu Feng said earnestly.
Jiang Xiaoyan was silent for a moment before saying, "No need."
She didn't say she was giving up; most of the time she just remained silent. In the evening, the three of them took a walk on the beach, and the atmosphere eased a lot. Many people don't understand what their parents mean when they are young by saying, "Just make do." But when they grow up and their own families are in chaos, they end up using those words to comfort themselves.
Around 10 p.m., Lu Feng looked at Duo Duo lying in bed and returned to his room where Jiang Xiaoyan was already asleep.
"You can change rooms!"
"Those rooms aren't decorated yet," Lu Feng said, closing the door behind him and getting into bed.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at the man beside her who was making faces at her and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Then what did you want from me back then?" Lu Feng countered.
“I don’t know. I was foolish back then. I was also afraid that if I got divorced, people would gossip behind my back. But now, what kind of woman don’t you have? I’m getting old too. I can’t compare to those women in their twenties.” Jiang Xiaoyan stared blankly at the ceiling and sighed softly, “Living is meaningless.”
Feeling lost? Life is a game, either you're a tycoon or you're running a family business. Feeling lost is because once we abandon either of these, we can't find the meaning of our existence. Before, we felt that life was somewhat enjoyable because the whole world was telling us to work hard to make money, as if having money meant having everything.
"And what happened? You have money, but you're still unhappy. To put it bluntly, it's all just a glimmer of hope. Once that hope is gone, everything seems to lose its meaning. Life needs lofty goals, but we should enjoy the present moment even more. It's good to be rich, of course, but there's also joy in being poor. We don't want to be rich, but rather to experience the process of going from poor to rich, a process made up of countless moments in the present."
Lu Feng stared at her intently as he spoke.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him intently, wondering why he was always so happy, and asked, "Then what do you think happiness is right now?"
"Come here!"
Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, wrapped the thin blanket around herself, and said, "This is boring!"
"How could it be boring? If you think it's boring, I'll call someone over and it will be interesting."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyan sat up and slapped his arm, frowning slightly as she said, "Sometimes you just like to tease people? Doesn't it feel disgusting to say something like that?"
"Then we won't look for her!" Lu Feng reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering, "Lezi brought this on herself!"
