Chapter 2190
The Differences Between Children
The bigger the business became, the more Lou Xiao'e felt the lack of connections she had with her family.
The friends she made in business.
Apart from families like HUO's, who are natural allies with her due to their connections in mainland China.
Others can only be considered partners, not friends.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Being a woman limited her many possibilities.
Other wealthy people went to the mountaintop to soak in hot springs together, naked in front of each other.
Or perhaps we could go to a casino together and party every night...
How can Lou Xiao'e possibly accompany you through all this?
When you make friends, you're bound to do some silly things together.
You can openly display your personality flaws without reservation, and others can be tolerant and even honest with you.
That's the right way to make friends.
Lou Xiao'e was helpless against all of those things.
Her gender and the persona she has always projected do not allow her to do such a thing.
This blame definitely belongs to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu, the head of the family, should have been indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and socializing with the wealthy.
Just like how He Xinghua frequently attends swimsuit parties in Malaysia now.
People can only make friends if they can have fun together.
The He family of Beijing.
He Yuan first joked with the old lady for a few moments, which made her sick and depressed grandmother laugh heartily and cheer her up considerably.
Only then did she pick up the steamed egg custard that He Yuzhu had just made for her and savor her dinner with a small sip.
Because of her arrival, the whole family's dinner got cold.
"Mom, don't be angry. It's good to let my little sister go out and broaden her horizons."
To prevent her from becoming arrogant and ignorant.
If she were to go away for three years, confined to the school and buried in her studies, it wouldn't be a good thing for her growth. He Yuan ate half of what she had before she felt like she couldn't eat anymore.
She smoothly pushed the remaining half bowl of steamed egg custard towards the fourth son.
It's a younger brother's responsibility to feed his older sister leftovers.
He Shouyi got used to it.
A half-grown child will eat his father out of house and home.
Although the fourth child has never experienced hunger.
But he was still growing, so he didn't experience hunger or fullness.
At this point, if you give him a braised pig's trotter, he can eat it all up, and at most he'll just loosen his belt a little.
"Sigh... I'm just afraid she'll get too wild and won't be able to settle down later." Liu Ting held a bowl and ate like she was counting rice. After a while, she picked out a small piece of rice from the edge of the bowl.
It wasn't just Liu Ting; other parents were in a similar situation.
Having children means worrying about them from a young age.
Moreover, Liu Ting has already submitted an application for early retirement to her superiors.
Her anxiety about the future deepened.
That's life. Although she knew perfectly well that retirement was the right choice for her.
He Yuzhu's career is becoming increasingly successful.
Their children are all successful in their own way.
The Ho family now needs someone to step forward and take on the role of family service.
She has to take responsibility for this.
Then we'll have to hire a nanny.
But Liu Ting had never considered that option.
Let alone the He family, even the families of high-ranking leaders, since they regained power.
He's no longer as extravagant as before; the chefs that were offered to him by his superiors were all politely declined by the higher-ups.
The couple simply lived their quiet lives.
It's too conspicuous. "Dad, what are your plans for my little sister after she graduates?" He Yuan asked He Yuzhu again.
He Yuzhu paused for a moment before saying, "Let her train in the south for a few years, the kind where she can travel between Hong Kong and the south."
Once her personality has stabilized, then let her return to Beijing.
An'an's personality isn't like yours, Yuanyuan's; she's not suited for the system.
He Yuzhu's words decided the fate of his youngest daughter.
However, he wasn't talking nonsense. Someone with He An's personality would be unsuitable for the workplace.
That would ruin her life and the He family's reputation.
He Yuzhu's idea was to let He Anjin of the He Group learn from him first.
We'll decide on her future once her personality has matured.
Even if He An joins the He Group, given her personality, she's not suited for a high-ranking position.
He Yuzhu has a fairly clear understanding of this.
As for He Ping, he seems to be the least noticeable member of the He family now.
But it is also the most stable member of the Ho family.
He was overshadowed by his senior brother Nie in the Go team.
It seems like he's just a minor character, going along with the show.
But whether it's He Yuzhu or He Ping's senior brothers, they all know how outstanding he is.
They can endure loneliness and patiently play a supporting role.
It was an excellent opportunity for him to grow.
Of course, He Ping at the moment has not thought about anything that far ahead.
According to what he said during his heart-to-heart talk with He Yuzhu, he simply enjoys the happiness that playing Go brings him.
Being with a group of experts every day allows him to improve anytime, anywhere, which is what he enjoys doing.
Money is never a problem for the He family.
For today's youth, power is merely a burden.
Even being a supporting character isn't easy.
All the experts who want to challenge Comrade Nie must first get past He Ping.
He Ping's success rate in defending the pass can reach 70% to 80%.
He is second only to the world, though he is not well-known.
But ultimately, he was second only to the emperor, above all others.
Of course, this is the perception of my peers.
Comrade He Ping didn't care about this at all.
Just like after a domestic competition, He Ping lost to his senior by a margin of one and a half points.
An industry veteran commented that He Ping played too conservatively; if he had used a slightly more unconventional strategy, he might have been able to take down his senior.
He Ping replied: "Losing to Senior Brother Nie is perfectly normal. Anyone with the ambition to defeat him should be allowed to try."
Later, He Yuzhu also asked his son about this issue.
This time, He Ping spoke frankly to him. He had been practicing chess with his senior brother Nie since childhood, and they were basically familiar with each other's strength and style.
Occasionally using some unconventional methods and tricks can indeed win one or two games.
But that doesn't mean he won, nor does it mean his chess skills have surpassed his senior's.
This only proves that he is desperate to win and will stop at nothing to achieve it.
"...The killing move is used to deal with the enemy." That was He Ping's answer.
He Yuzhu really didn't feel that he had anything to worry about regarding his second son.
As for the fourth child, He Yuzhu and Liu Ting both decided that this mischievous kid should not be allowed to go out in the future.
He An may like to play, but at least his little girl still has some sense of awe.
Just like He An has never had a boyfriend.
Because she knows very well where her parents' limits are.
If it weren't a relationship with someone she was pursuing for marriage, but just someone she was hanging out with for fun, He Yuzhu would probably have He Xinghua immediately put her on a plane and send her back to Beijing for supervision.
Therefore, even now, He An is mostly surrounded by female friends. (End of Chapter)
