Chapter 1214 Three More Admonitions
Liu Meilan replied, "My house in Beijing is big enough for me, I don't need to buy another one!"
In fact, demolition and relocation is also a way of distributing wealth; let's leave such opportunities to others.
Linghua blinked and asked, "Why? Buying a house and waiting for it to be demolished and redeveloped saves trouble and allows you to make a lot of money!"
Liu Meilan replied, "The total amount of money and wealth in society is limited. If I take a little more, others may take a little less! I have other ways to invest and make money, so there is no need for me to rely on these simple ways to amass wealth."
"I mainly focus on developing real businesses and investing in emerging internet industries. I don't get involved in other areas. If you're interested, you can buy a few properties; it's a good way to increase your investment value. The sources of this money are all clear."
Hearing her cousin say this, Linghua nodded: "I won't buy many, just a few sets! To keep them for appreciation and as a form of security!"
She had no interest in or desire to run a business. She didn't understand investing in stocks either. The only thing she truly understood was buying real estate.
Liu Meilan agreed, saying, "That's a good idea! You don't need to invest in anything else! Although you and Liang Cheng aren't married yet, the nature of his work means he has high standards for his partner. Since you've already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, you should think this through!"
Professor Xie nodded in agreement: "Your cousin is right! When your third cousin brought Xiaomi back, as soon as I heard that she was a teacher, and a teacher who could settle down and teach in a backward area in the west, I felt instantly at ease. Teachers educate and nurture students, so they generally won't cause trouble for your third cousin's career."
“When I met my friends in the compound before, they thought my daughter-in-law’s family was too ordinary! But they only thought about a strong alliance, but they ignored the fact that it would also bring a lot of trouble! I valued the simplicity of her family! I think the Liang family is the same, Linghua, so we shouldn’t be too greedy for money.”
Hearing her aunt and cousin's persuasion, Linghua smiled and said, "Actually, deep down I didn't want to run that beef jerky factory my parents started! Firstly, I didn't have the energy, and secondly, my parents are getting old. But I supported them because they wanted to do something for their hometown!"
"As for money, my annual income from albums is quite substantial! It's enough for me to live on. Besides, when I participate in company activities, the company pays for it; when I go to the grassroots level, I eat and live in the local troops, which doesn't cost me any money."
“When I was a poor person who suddenly became rich, I had a certain fondness for luxury goods. But ever since I bought a pair of shoes that cost 20,000 yuan and they broke after only a few wears, I realized that I can’t accept this kind of consumption! So, apart from the ones that the company provides for me, I don’t have a strong need for luxury goods myself.”
"If I calculate it this way, even if I don't work for the next few decades, I can still live very well! These are all lessons my cousin Meilan taught me: don't be a slave to money and these luxuries, be their master!"
Liu Meilan laughed heartily and pinched Linghua's cheek: "My cousin is so beautiful, she looks good in anything! So tall, with such long legs..."
Professor Xie's eyes showed satisfaction: "When you can't afford something, you always want to buy it. But once you can afford it, you realize it's not all that great! And you don't like it as much anymore! From beginning to end, people are the most important thing in my heart. I have a student who is studying in Paris, France. In his spare time, he works in a luxury store there. He bought me a bag during the Christmas sale. It was really beautiful, but the price was also 'beautiful'."
“I was furious. This girl already has a hard time living away from home, and she's working to earn money and then buying me a bag. I called her and gave her a piece of my mind! If she's not under a lot of financial pressure, she should spend more time on her studies and not work. Afterwards, I asked a friend to send money to my student. I can't just take her bag for free!”
With the guidance and encouragement from Professor Xie and Liu Meilan, Linghua adapted well and her mindset changed very quickly. She became more relaxed and elegant.
After finishing her meal, Liu Meilan said goodbye: "Mom, I'm going back this afternoon! You have a meeting tomorrow, so call me when you're done and I'll have the captain come pick you up on the yacht!"
Professor Xie nodded: "Okay! I can't go back tonight, so you should go back to be with the kids as soon as possible! By the way, I heard that your dad and Fu Chen are coming back tomorrow, so prepare some good food for them and go back as soon as you're done here."
"Okay." Liu Meilan said goodbye to her family, got into the car driven by her bodyguard, and headed straight for the dock.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived on the yacht, they saw Fu Chen.
Liu Meilan jumped onto the yacht, wrapped her arms around Fu Chen's neck, hooked her legs around his waist, and kissed him on the face, saying, "Mwah, darling, aren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?"
Fu Chen held Liu Meilan in his arms, enjoying her intense love, and felt like the happiest man in the world: "I had a meeting, which I finished in the morning, and I came back in the afternoon since I had nothing to do, without waiting for my father-in-law."
Although he could come back with his father-in-law tomorrow, Fu Chen would certainly not be a day later if he could come back a day earlier.
Liu Meilan smiled and kissed him again: "Fu Chen, I find you even more handsome than last time?"
Fu Chen's originally serious face instantly broke into a smile upon hearing Liu Meilan's words: "You always manage to keep me wrapped around your little finger."
"No, you're handsome anyway," Liu Meilan said with a grin. "I adore you, you're handsome no matter how I look at you!"
As the staff watched Fu Chen and Liu Meilan embracing passionately on the deck, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "We've served many wealthy people, but how many of them have such a good relationship? Our boss is different. Their relationship is so good! They've been married for several years and have a child, and their relationship is still so good. It's so rare!"
Another person nodded in agreement: "Yeah, let's not talk about the relationships of those rich people, it's none of our business. But look at how the boss conducts himself, he's really a good person. We can learn a lot from working alongside him."
Amidst the praise and envious glances of the staff, Liu Meilan and Fu Chen leaned on the railing of the yacht, chatting and occasionally kissing and hugging as they enjoyed the sea breeze.
"Liang Cheng has excellent taste," Fu Chen remarked. "Marrying Linghua is the best thing he's ever done in his life."
Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes, at this age, Linghua is willing to listen to adults and can take advice to heart. She will definitely do well in the future."
Fu Chen praised, "This is the most difficult part. Many young people think that what their elders say is outdated, and they don't even have the patience to listen. Times have indeed changed a lot, but the underlying logic of material development remains the same, and the core has not changed either. The advice of elders is often based on their experience to see through the essence of how society works. But young people can't see through it. By the time they see through it, they are middle-aged, which is why there is the saying 'at forty, one is no longer confused.'"
