“Dad, your worries have been overlooked. Lately, apart from handling foundation matters, I haven’t been involved in anything else.”
Even if there are excellent projects, I won't invest anymore, at least not for the next five years.
"nothing?"
"No reason why? I just want to rest. Also, I invested in too many projects recently. If I invest again, not only will I not have much cash on hand, but I also want to gradually disappear from other people's sight."
"Disappeared? Why?"
"Since the beginning of the new millennium, the development of the internet has been accelerating in both our country and Western countries, and the public's ability to accept it has also been growing rapidly."
If we don't disappear from the public eye in time, our Shen family will probably be under the media's scrutiny in less than twenty years. I don't want that, firstly because we would lose our privacy, and secondly because we wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
So I don't want my children to be in this situation in the future, so I want to gradually distance myself from them.
Will that day really come?
"Mom and Dad, not only will we have them, but it probably won't be long. In the past, our country only had post offices to send express mail, but now major express delivery companies have been established."
Many related online platforms have been established, and it's no longer a matter of time before they develop into something else entirely.
"That's true. If it's really as you say, then disappearing from people's sight is indeed the best choice."
"Our Shen family is a military family. Soldiers don't need these things, so let's do it your way!"
"good."
They really need to disappear from the public eye, otherwise if anything happens to Shan Fan, it will be magnified infinitely by the world, which is not a good thing for them. It's better to disappear completely from now on.
Even if something happens then, you can live like an ordinary person.
There's no need to live in the spotlight like celebrities; it's exhausting.
If future generations pursue careers in the arts, they must rely solely on their own efforts and must not reveal their family background unless absolutely necessary.
Fortunately, it hasn't happened yet. You have to understand that the arts and entertainment industry is not what it used to be. Even though there were all sorts of situations in the past, it wasn't as chaotic as it is now.
Taking this path is not so simple. There is no one like it in this generation, and as for the grandchildren, it will be at least twenty years from now. You know, even the eldest brother's little granddaughter is only a little over one year old this year, not even two years old. Nobody knows what kind of job she will do in the future.
As for those few who haven't gotten married yet, it will be more than twenty years before they have children and those children grow up.
It's too early to talk about all this now, but the family rules should be established as soon as possible, and some things cannot be done and cannot be broken.
Otherwise, how could a family endure and establish itself in this world?
"Mr. Li, there is a call for you. It is from Mr. 'H' in Hong Kong."
“Mr. H, why are you calling me?”
"The gentleman didn't say that, he just wanted to schedule a phone call with you."
Did they say when they would call?
"He didn't say that, he just said that you can call him back when you're not busy."
"Since that's the case, then let's do it now! Anyway, I don't have anything else to do right now."
"yes!"
What could possibly warrant such a personal call from him? But if he did call, it must mean the matter is serious. However, I don't recall anything major happening around this time in my previous life.
Even the most difficult time last year is over, so there's nothing to worry about now.
If anything really happens, it will be the major disaster a few years from now, or the pandemic that will last for more than three years more than a decade later. There's nothing else to worry about.
As for business matters, there's not much to invest in. After all, we've already invested a lot of money in the industries that will be the fastest growing in the next decade or so. We can just wait to collect our dividends.
"Chairman Li, the call has been connected."
"Turn around!"
"yes!"
"Hello, sir!"
"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm calling specifically to ask you to make a trip to Europe."
"Sir, I'm going to Europe. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"To be honest, my health is not quite up to the task of this trip to Europe, but I'm afraid my son and his party alone will not be able to succeed, so I would like to ask you to come and help."
"If that's the case, it would be my honor. But in my opinion, it's not certain that I'll succeed if I go to Europe with you. It would be better if I went to North America to lobby for you."
"North America?"
"Given my many years of cooperation with North America, I should be able to offer more assistance in this matter."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
"You're too kind, sir."
It seems the other party has seized a lot of Mr. H's goods this time, so much so that they have to start looking for help. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even know how to make a phone call, let alone help.
If I didn't admire Mr. H, I wouldn't have helped with this. But since he's already humbled himself and asked for my help, I might as well go. I'll just treat it as a visit to an old friend and maybe have some fun.
However, we can't stay there for too long, since Junde's wife is about to give birth.
Because she wasn't busy with work and didn't have much to do at the foundation, she was able to go to his place to take care of her during her postpartum period.
No matter how rich you are, you still have to take good care of the new mother. Some things can't be solved with money, especially this kind of thing. Even if you entrust it to your in-laws, you still have to check on her from time to time.
"Going to North America? When was that? I've never heard you mention it before."
"Mom, was this a last-minute decision too?"
Is something the matter?
"I do have something to do; someone asked me to come and help them out."
"Invite you? Who is it? Who has the ability to invite you?"
"Dad, it's Mr. 'H' from Hong Kong!"
“It’s him. Did something happen to him in North America? If I remember correctly, he’s over eighty years old.”
“I did encounter some problems, but these were mainly in Europe. My trip to North America was just to help them indirectly.”
"You mean, people from North America are also involved?"
“That’s right, and it’s also because of my old friend, Miss Linda, which is why I chose to go to North America. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to help much if I went to Europe.”
"Since that's the case, then you can go! But Junde's wife is due to give birth soon."
Can you make it back in time?
"Dad, Mom! I'll only stay there for half a month at most, no longer than that, so I can make it back in time."
