Ye Shuning looked at the dishes on the table and found that most of them were what she and Li Jingyu liked to eat, so she knew that Qin Zongye had made special instructions for his family.
Ye Shuning said, "I thought you lived with your father at first."
Qin Zongye shook his head and said, "My eldest brother and I moved out of the old house two years ago. The main reason is that we have a lot of things to do and sometimes we come home very late, and we don't want to disturb my old man's peace. Besides, my mother and my brother are still with my father at home.
It's more comfortable to live on my own, and I don't have to worry about my mother constantly nagging us about getting married. But we still go back to visit our parents often. We're all in Nangang, and it's not far from home, so it's very convenient to go back."
Ye Shuning said, "You have a younger brother? It's great to have more brothers. I'm the only one in my family. I'm my father's only daughter."
Qin Zongye smiled and said, "There are three brothers in my family. My eldest brother is two years older than me, and my younger brother is seven years younger than me. He is still in college.
My father trained my older brother and me to start our own businesses before we even reached adulthood. When I was sixteen, he invested in a garment factory for me with only a dozen workers—the Huiya Garment Factory you see today. He then made us financially independent and stopped supporting us financially. I paid for my studies abroad with my own earnings.
It took me ten years to develop Huiya Garment Factory to its current scale, and I used the money I earned to buy a film company, several clothing stores, a restaurant, and a Western restaurant. I also own a cargo ship of my own, but it is affiliated with our Qin family's shipping company.
In addition to these, I also own more than ten properties of various sizes, as well as some savings.”
Qin Zongye's look seemed to imply that he was going to explain his fate.
Ye Shuning admired Qin Zongye's ability to make money and said in amazement, "You have created so much wealth in ten years. It's really amazing."
Qin Zongye felt proud of himself when he saw Ye Shuning's admiring eyes, but he still tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and said modestly: "It's nothing, my eldest brother is also very capable. The reason why my father did this was to test the two of us.
In the future, the head of the Qin family will be chosen between the two of us. My father wants to see which of us is more capable of inheriting the position of head of the Qin family and managing the Qin family well.
My eldest brother regards me as a competitor. Although my father has emphasized many times that we brothers should not suppress each other, my eldest brother still causes trouble for me from time to time, which makes me feel very annoyed.
Sometimes I feel that it's not worth it to cause discord between brothers for the sake of the family fortune, but sometimes I feel a little reluctant to give up the position of head of the family just like that."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I understand how you feel. But I feel that wealth inherited from the previous generation is not as fulfilling and reassuring as wealth created by oneself.
How do you know you won't create more wealth than your father? We all need to look to the future with a growth perspective; there are so many opportunities. Take our new movie, for example. Could you have imagined we could make tens of millions from just one film? There are so many ways to make money in the future."
Qin Zongye felt very refreshed when chatting with Ye Shuning, and he was often inspired. This was also one of the reasons why he was very willing to chat with Ye Shuning.
He nodded with a glint in his eyes and said, "Yeah, you have a point. Who would have thought that making a movie could be so profitable?"
Li Jingyu didn't understand what the adults were saying. He only knew that there were a lot of delicious food today, and his aunt and Uncle Qin would be there for dinner. He was also going to live in such a big and beautiful house. He was very happy, and his little mouth was full of greasy food.
Qin Zongye looked at Li Jingyu eating sweetly and smiled, "It seems Jingyu really likes it here. Xiaoning, we've been busy chatting. Come on, eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, Uncle Xiang asked the servants to cut some fruit and put it on the coffee table in the living room. He hoped that the beautiful and elegant Miss Shu could stay a little longer and spend more time with their young master.
He could see that his young master liked Miss Shu, and he probably hadn't confessed his feelings to the girl yet, so he hoped that the two young people could spend more time together.
Qin Zongye was really happy today. This was the first time Ye Shuning came to his house as a guest. He hoped that Ye Shuning could come often in the future.
After chatting for a while, Ye Shuning wanted to go back, after all, she was leaving for the mainland tomorrow.
Qin Zongye stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll drive you home."
He was worried about Ye Shuning going home alone at night.
The two drove out of Qin Zongye's house. On the way, Ye Shuning suddenly saw a lot of people running on the street with sticks and machetes.
Qin Zongye immediately parked the car in front of a restaurant and watched those people run over like a gust of wind.
Ye Shuning sat in the car, looking at the people running away in shock. She pointed in their direction and asked, "Who are those people? Why are they holding weapons? Could they be a gang fight?"
Qin Zongye didn't drive immediately. He looked at the scene ahead and said, "This is why I don't let you go out at night. Nangang is full of gangs and gangs. They often fight at night to compete for territory, so it's very dangerous to go out alone at night.
Ye Shuning patted her chest and said, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of situation. It would be really dangerous if I accidentally ran into them fighting."
Seeing that there was no movement, Qin Zongye continued driving towards Ye Shuning's house. He was also afraid that Ye Shuning would be frightened, so he said, "Fortunately, where you live is relatively safe. These people also have fixed activity areas. And they won't take the initiative to provoke people with status. They are also afraid of the police. No matter what era, those who are bullied are always those at the bottom of society."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise why do people want to stand out? It's to be respected in society and to be able to protect the people they want to protect. Only when you are strong can you have more freedom and not be suppressed everywhere.
Especially in a capitalist society like Nangang, where money is paramount, only those with money can be respected and have more say. Otherwise, if you are bullied, you have nowhere to seek justice.”
Qin Zongye agreed with Ye Shuning's words, "So everyone wants to become powerful. Everyone wants to make money, the more the better. The power of money cannot be ignored. Many people who come to Nangang join gangs in order to get ahead as quickly as possible, fighting and killing all day long, but few of them can really become rich. Most of them are just minions working for others.
Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I won't see you off tomorrow. Be careful on your way and discuss anything with Uncle Ling and the others. Don't worry if you can't see your father when you return to the mainland. We can find another way."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I understand. I won't act rashly. Besides, I'm more familiar with the mainland, so nothing will happen. Jingyu, please take care of me."
Qin Zongye sent Ye Shuning home and went home without stopping. After all, it was not convenient for him to stay for long since Ye Shuning was the only one at home.
