As a nanny of the great-uncle generation, I always said, "Why is she a little girl? Whose child is that boy? This girl is useless. She'll just be someone else's worthless trash when she grows up."
But after her own son had a daughter, she became a completely different person. That's just how people are!
Therefore, people always have two faces, no matter what the circumstances.
"Are you really not planning to work anymore? Isn't it too early to retire now?"
"No! I'm just not working at the company anymore; instead, I'm dedicating the rest of my time to charity."
"But, can the company operate normally like this? Can they manage it?"
“It has to work out, even if it doesn’t work out. They can’t always rely on others, and I also need to learn to let go.”
Over the years, everything has been fine under my management. As long as they don't make any mistakes when I hand the company over, nothing will go wrong.
"If that's the case, it's not impossible. But I'm afraid it might turn out to be a case of raising a tiger that will eventually cause trouble?"
"Don't worry! Even if the company really has some problems one day, I won't really abandon it."
Besides, the shares I own there are all placed in a trust, so there are people in the trust fund involved, which prevents them from going bankrupt easily.
As for the idea of raising a tiger to cause trouble, I've considered it. Whoever has the ability can take it, but the vote I have isn't so easy to get."
"I'm just worried that you'll feel uncomfortable about this later! After all, you've put so much time into this."
No, you've been treating this company like your own child. If it were to belong to someone else one day, could you accept that?
"It's definitely not comfortable, but it's only a matter of time. You have to understand that there's nothing you can't let go of, otherwise who would take over the businesses I have?"
Do we really have to train a successor when the time comes?
I never intended to impose these things on the children, letting them do whatever they wanted.
As for the future, if our grandchildren have a talent for business, I wouldn't mind teaching them.
However, they have to fight for everything themselves; they need to create their own wealth, not just rely on what their elders left behind.
Also, as you just said, it's true that the company is like another child to me, but that's just how society develops.
With the times changing so fast, I might not be able to keep up, so it's better to leave it to someone else.
Being behind the scenes allows for a better grasp of the overall situation and enables the company to develop more effectively.
The most crucial point is that I have a lot of energy, otherwise in the past few years, I have mostly just invested in other companies instead of creating other projects.
I knew that the time it takes for a project to go from conception to establishment, to perfection, and finally to listing is not a day or two, or a month or two, but a year or two, and possibly even longer.
Besides, you can never earn all the money in the world, so you have to make some trade-offs.
"That's certainly how it should be."
"But then again, even if I don't need to invest in new projects, I can still earn a lot from the dividends alone each year. Why put all my eggs in one basket?"
If you have this energy, you might as well put it into charity. Over the years, I've almost forgotten what my parents look like.
The only thing we can do is to find those who share these memories with them and do something for them.
This is akin to retracing the footsteps of one's parents, experiencing the life's work they dedicated themselves to.
"Okay! Do whatever you want! Just tell me if you need anything."
I can't go with you right now, but I'll definitely help with anything else I can.
"good."
"Old man, what do you think the third son's family is thinking? They say they don't care about the company anymore, but they know there are thousands of people in the company who need to make a living."
"Why are you meddling so much? Besides, can you really control her own decisions?"
Also, by the way, when did you start calling the third brother's family? Tell me, why can't you figure that out?
Now look what happened! All those years of mother-daughter relationship have turned into this?
"What's wrong with me? I just think she's being too petty about this."
They are all children of the Shen family. Why only consider her own children? Aren't the others also children of the Shen family?
Besides, they've all grown up together, like brothers and sisters, and have never distinguished between each other before. Why are they doing this now?
"It's not that it didn't exist before, but that it has always existed. It's just that it didn't involve such a large amount of property before. It's something you can't understand, okay?"
Besides, the parents of the other grandchildren are still alive, so why should the third grandchildren's family pay for it? They helped raise them when they were young, so why should they raise them now, or even their descendants?
Don't you think this is unfair to them? Even if they are indeed fellow disciples, you shouldn't forget the principle that even close brothers should keep clear accounts.
As for her retiring from the company at only 50 years old, I think it's probably for her parents' sake!
"You mean a girl?"
"Um!"
"No, didn't he sacrifice himself back then? Does this mean there's something else going on?"
"No, it's just that this child has had such a hard life. She wants to help people like her parents and find their shadows in them."
"this?"
"You! Stop criticizing her all the time. We know how hard it is for her all by herself."
We've watched her grow up, so how could we not know who she is?
She has the heart to help our comrades, and we should support her.
Besides, putting everything else aside, how many people can have retirement pensions as good as the two of us?
Since she has the money and the will, let her do it!
"But can she manage on her own?"
"Why is it just one person?"
"Old Shen, what do you mean?"
"When she decided to do this, I had already submitted the materials to my superiors, who were also planning to compile statistics on the personnel involved and conduct an investigation to correct the history in this area."
Since that's the case, why not cooperate? Besides, our country has no shortage of people; not to mention others, even those veterans are willing to contribute."
"If that's the case, it's not impossible. I'm just saying, she shouldn't leave the company so early. What if something happens to her one day?"
"Don't worry about that. I think she knows what's going on. Besides, even if the company really disappears one day, the building will still be there, right?"
With this, the children will never have to worry about food and drink.
