Chapter 219- Watching a Movie
Qin Si held Shi Feiye's hand and walked away without forgetting to complain:
"That woman obviously had plastic surgery. She looks so strange, and it doesn't look like her family is poor, but she wouldn't bother looking for a good plastic surgery hospital. Ah Ye, you must not follow her example. You're already pretty enough, and plastic surgery will only make you uglier."
"Don't worry, even if I turn out to be ugly, I won't get plastic surgery. My appearance is given by my parents, so I can't dislike it. However, it's not nice to say that about me. Everyone loves beauty, and I'm just pursuing it. Plastic surgery isn't illegal."
Although Shi Feiye didn't like plastic surgery herself, she had no problem with others getting it, and she promptly corrected Qin Si's thoughts, lest the child think there was anything wrong with others pursuing beauty.
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Ah Ye, continue shopping. If anyone comes to disturb you again, call us." Qin Si let go of Shi Feiye's hand and tactfully pulled Qin Bulu back to sit, letting Shi Feiye choose her own things.
Shi Feiye felt she had worked hard enough. By the time she was exhausted from shopping, she had bought over twenty sets of clothes, more than ten bags, and a bunch of other miscellaneous items. She felt she had never been so extravagant in her life.
Who knew that Qin Si came over, but he looked very dissatisfied:
"Aye, you bought too little, not enough to wear. I remember my mother had hundreds of sets of clothes and a pile of shoes every season, and she changed them every day without repeating the same clothes. You only bought this little, is it enough?"
"I have over 20 outfits now. If I buy one a day, plus the few outfits I have before, I can wear a new outfit every month. A season only lasts three months, and with the changing climate, I won't be able to wear them all even if I buy more."
Qin Si felt very strange: "But don't you have that feeling that when you like something, you want to own it? You only have a dozen bags, how can that be enough? Although I don't understand, I know that buying one of each type of bag will cost more than this amount."
"There are so many things I like, I can't buy every one of them, right?"
"You should buy what you like." Qin Buzhu signaled to the salesperson to send the items back later. Then he said to Shi Feiye, "In the future, just buy what you like. Some clothes don't cost much, and you don't necessarily have to wear them. It's worth it if you like them."
Shi Feiye was shocked by this theory and doubted her own ears a little: "You don't have to wear it, just buy it if you like it. Do you buy it just for the pleasure of seeing it?"
"That's right. As long as you're happy with what you see, then the money is well spent." Qin Buzhu reaffirmed his words. "If you don't see anything that suits your taste today, forget it. We can go somewhere else later, or make reservations with the designer. If you see a designer whose style you like, we can order some."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Shi Feiye shook his head, "These are enough for me to wear for a while."
Qin Si shook his head seriously: "Aye, you are too wronged. Even a small family wouldn't have so few clothes like you. Don't save money for your uncle. If you save money, your uncle will be very upset. As a man, if you can't even let your wife spend money happily, what's the point of working hard?"
Shi Feiye also shook his head. "There are so many reasons to work hard to make money. For example, you can invest it in charity, research and develop solutions that may have low returns but can help more people, or try to shoulder social responsibilities and protect our living environment. If you put your money into these things, you might find that you don't have enough money to spend."
Shi Feiye sighed heavily, "When I bought these things, I thought they looked great, but I always thought it would be more meaningful if I could invest the money I spent on luxury goods in helping those in need."
Qin Si was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qin Buzhu: "Uncle, I finally understand why you like A Ye."
That's right. Of the women who had previously flocked to Qin Bulu, none of them liked luxury goods, and none of them would have thought of the issues Shi Feiye mentioned. Those women wanted to move all the jewelry and luxury goods back home, but Shi Feiye was the only weirdo who bought things just to save face, and instead thought more about doing good deeds.
Qin Buzhu couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and touched Shi Feiye's head vigorously:
"That's not necessary. As long as the business is completely stable, the company will invest a large amount of funds in charity every year. This is what my grandfather repeatedly taught me. I will never forget to give back to society."
He suddenly changed the subject:
"But working hard to make money isn't just about giving back to society. It's hard to reap huge rewards from this alone, so just do your best. We can't just not spend any of the money we earn on ourselves. Buy what you need. If you're worried, you can slowly take over charitable work in the future. It'll give you something to do."
Qin Si praised his uncle: "Yes, yes, many wealthy people have husbands who work hard outside to earn money, while the wives are responsible for charity. This way, the couple can work together without getting tired."
If they can work together as a couple without getting tired, then they are a real couple, aren't they? Qin Si thought with some pride. As long as Shi Feiye is willing to take over, she will only be busier and will definitely have no time to care about others. Sooner or later, she will be my uncle's real wife.
"Me? To take care of charity?" Shi Feiye shook his head frantically:
"Forget it, I'm not that capable. My major is a million miles away from management, and my job after graduation is also nowhere near management. Plus, I'm an introvert, so forget it."
"You can learn slowly. Now that your family is rich, you can hire a teacher to teach you anything you want. If you can't learn in a year, you might not be able to learn in two or three years. Charity isn't business, so it's not that burdensome. Besides, if there are any problems, your uncle will take care of them. Just focus on your work."
"Don't rush this, take your time. Do what you like first, and then slowly learn about these things." Qin Buzhu took Shi Feiye's hand and led them out. His calm tone immediately put people at ease.
Going out for dinner was a private restaurant that Qin Bulu had ordered that afternoon. While Shi Feiye was in the restroom, Qin Bulu told Qin Si, "After dinner, let's go to the movies. You can watch the cartoons by yourself."
Qin Si understood immediately: "Don't worry, uncle. I won't be a light bulb for you. If the cartoon is boring later, I will play with my phone. You have to work hard and try to win Ah Ye."
Qin Buzhu nodded in satisfaction, and Qin Si clenched his fist.
As soon as Master Feiye arrived, the two of them immediately returned to normal.
When they went to the movies, Qin Si said he wanted to watch a cartoon as soon as he entered. Shi Feiye hesitated for a moment because the cartoon looked really low IQ. But when she saw that Xiao Si was only as tall as Qin Buzhu's waist, she felt that he was just a child after all:
"Okay, let's go watch cartoons then."
"No, no, no, I'm going to watch it by myself. I don't need you to accompany me. I'm not a child anymore. And I promise to wait outside after I'm done so you won't run around. You and uncle can go watch something else."
Watching such a stupid cartoon was already a huge sacrifice. Qin Si felt that if it didn't have the desired effect and his dark past was witnessed by Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu, he would go crazy.
"Don't worry about him, just let him watch his own thing. What do you want to watch?" Qin Bulu pulled Shi Feiye, signaling her not to worry about Qin Si.
"Well, if you don't want us to accompany you..." Shi Feiye attributed Qin Si's behavior to the child's desire for freedom, "then you should pay attention to your own safety. If anything happens, call us in time."
"Hmm..." Qin Si nodded randomly, ran to buy the ticket, and threw Shi Feiye to Qin Bulu.
Qin Buzhu thought Shi Feiye would choose a romance film, but she chose a science fiction film instead, and said it righteously:
"Going to the cinema is all about the experience. What do you experience? The advanced technology, of course. Science fiction films are much more emotional than romances, so of course I'd choose a science fiction film."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I once saw a joke about a movie. Do you want to hear it?" Shi Feiye whispered to Qin Bulu while taking the ticket.
"Listen..." Qin Buzhu was very supportive.
"Someone asked the question online a while ago: 'I'm going to the movies with my girlfriend, and she wants a romance, but I want a sci-fi movie. What should I do?' The top answer was, 'So you're really going to the movies, so why did you go with your girlfriend?' And the rest of the responses were all in praise of the first answer."
Qin Buzhu raised the corner of his mouth: "You're right."
The two of them walked and talked as they entered the theater. Shi Feiye had changed her usual habit of rambling and complaining, and was watching the show quite seriously. She said little, didn't eat much of the popcorn in her hand, and didn't even take a sip of her drink.
"Why are you so engrossed in watching this?" Suddenly, a burst of heat rushed to his ears, and Shi Feiye shuddered involuntarily due to the stimulation.
She subconsciously turned her head, and her lips inadvertently slid across the cheek of the person next to her. She was so scared that she couldn't retreat, but Qin Buzhu hugged her in time: "Why are you so startled?"
"Why are you so close all of a sudden?" Shi Feiye patted his chest, realizing where he was, and lowered his voice.
"You don't want to eat or drink, do you want me to feed you?" Qin Bulu helped her sit down and blurted out a shocking question.
"No, no, I was just fascinated by it. Don't you think the special effects are very good?" Shi Feiye came close to him and whispered:
"I'm planning to adapt a novel by a famous author from my world, Mr. Jin. I think it'll be a huge hit if it's made into a TV series. I'll donate all the proceeds. What do you think?"
Shi Feiye said excitedly: "Based on this special effect, it will definitely be great if it is used to shoot a fantasy novel."
