"Going to the Li Group building? How could that be? Since I stepped down from my position, I've never gone there except for when it's time for a shareholders' meeting."
Even if the company goes bankrupt, it doesn't matter, because the money has already been earned back. Even if the other party is incompetent and closes down, there's still the Li's Building, isn't there?
With current prices, you can live comfortably without making any investments; you won't even spend all your rent money.
I strolled around the supermarket leisurely, and in the end, I didn't buy anything before leaving.
Then we'll go to other places to explore. Beijing is so big that before my husband retires, we don't need to go to any other attractions; we might not even be able to see everything here.
"Sister-in-law, tell me, don't you get tired of going out all day?"
"Sister-in-law, if I don't go out for a stroll, not only will I feel restless at home, but I'll also feel uneasy if I want to relax at home."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Brother, have there been people coming to me these past two days claiming to be the old master of the Jing family?"
"That's true, but you weren't home, so we made sure to postpone it. But how did you find out about it?"
"Did Sister Wu tell you that? But that doesn't make sense. I didn't see Sister Wu come over just now."
"No, it wasn't Sister Wu who told me about this. I just happened to run into it today."
"Ah! You mean they know where you are."
"There is no elder brother. I found out about this when I was eating at a noodle shop and two young men were eating next to me and they were talking about it."
"Are you sure you're a member of the Jing family, or someone related to the Jing family?"
"One of the other parties was a male comrade, and the other person was referred to as 'General Manager Jing'."
They mentioned their grandfather, and after thinking it over, the only person I could think of was from the Jing family in Haishi.”
"If that's the case, then that's correct. But if the Jing family comes to visit you, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you not to see them?"
"If it were anything else, it would be fine, but I heard from them that this young Jing always wants to challenge Grandpa Jing. Brother, tell me, can I just get involved in this kind of thing?"
Besides, given the relationship between my grandfather and Grandpa Jing, it's best to stay out of their business.
"A contest? What kind of contest?"
"I don't know, but their purpose in contacting me is definitely not pure."
This is why you shouldn't participate in even the best projects; you might end up losing money and getting nothing in return—that wouldn't be worth it.
"That's true."
"But it's not right for you to keep me away like this, is it?"
“Sister-in-law, he came to ask me for help. Whether I see him or not will not affect me. Besides, if this person does not have other purposes, what harm is there in me seeing him? But this person has ulterior motives.”
Moreover, he's impatient; if you actually invest money in him, it's most likely you'll lose it all.
"this?"
"It seems you've found out everything!"
"No, I only learned about this person today. I only know this from their conversations, so I don't really know the specifics."
"You're just relying on experience!"
"Yeah! Pretty much. The main reason is that I don't want to get involved in their family's affairs!"
"That's true. It's best not to get involved in these kinds of family feuds."
After all, my father and the Jing family patriarch have a good relationship; I don't want to embarrass both families later.
“That’s right, that’s what I think too. Besides, although the Jing family is also in business, the projects they do are different.”
Even if it's the same, I don't really get involved now, so there's no need to contact me if you really need anything.
"What if the other party comes to our house again tomorrow?"
"Brother, if they really come, could you please meet them for me and then send them away?"
Is this appropriate?
"Don't worry, sister-in-law! The person who came is definitely not a member of the Jing family. That young Mr. Jing is busy renting venues, so he may not have time for this."
Besides, if it were true, I think he would have visited the old man at home immediately.
"That's true, but he didn't come. That means he doesn't want the old master of the Jing family to know that the other party came to see you."
"I think that's why."
"But I don't understand, besides money, what else would the Jing family need them to get involved in internal strife for? Is it just because they care about my money?"
"I think it's probably for the sake of the Jing family's head status! Otherwise, why would they go through such a long and complicated process?"
"That makes sense. If that's the case, then it comes together."
"Life must be really tiring. Although I don't know the Jing family's strength, I don't feel that they meet the standards of a super-rich family."
"But some people just don't want to work hard."
"That's true, our family is still the best. Otherwise, just worrying about kids like them would drive us crazy."
I think so too.
“Sister-in-law, I think you’re overthinking it. The children of our Shen family are not that kind of people at heart.”
"So, are you going out again tomorrow?"
"I'm not going out tomorrow. I'm going to the foundation. Although they don't really need me now, I still need to go and keep an eye on things a bit."
Besides, going out all day isn't a good idea; spending time with employees means I can learn some shady dealings.
"No, sister-in-law, do you think they'll tell you anything they hear?"
"Sister-in-law, whether they tell or not is their business, but whether I ask or not depends on whether I want to know."
"That's true. You're their boss, so even if they don't want to talk about it, they can't."
"If I don't want to do something, I won't ask. If they need help, I will help as long as I think it's okay and there's no problem."
"That's you. If it were a mathematician, I doubt it!"
"I really don't know, but I'm going there tomorrow to hear from them if there's any gossip going on lately."
"Why ask these questions? Will they be helpful to your foundation or other work?"
"That's hard to say, sister-in-law. Nowadays, young people, whether male or female, all like to mess around."
Normally, this is their privacy, but if the other party is a public figure, then this matter involves investigation.
It's highly likely that a company will go under, and if someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, things could spiral out of control.
"But if I remember correctly, the foundation does not need so-called celebrity endorsements."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"It is indeed unrelated to the foundation, but it is different for me."
After all, the investment project is there. Even though I only have a stake, if something happens, I'll still lose money.
So it's good to know a little bit about some things.
