Chapter 2298
Second Heart-to-Heart Talk
He Yuzhu looked upstairs, worried that the children might hear.
He wouldn't have said these words if Liu Ting hadn't been there today.
"Huh?" He Daqing was surprised.
"hehe···
What's so surprising? Every man dreams of having multiple wives and concubines, and doing whatever he wants.
Besides, our He family still has some money now.
Sometimes I think about asking Xiao'e to help me find a few Hong Kong actresses...
Cough cough...
"You should understand that kind of thinking, sir." He Yuzhu abruptly stopped the car, not intending to elaborate further.
But these heartfelt words actually brought him much closer to He Daqing.
"But there are some things that you really can't do."
Imagine if I did that.
Everything I just said about the children's future development is all for naught.
People will use what I did to attack my children.
Even if I try to bribe them with money or intimidate them with my reputation, there will always be enemies more formidable than me.
There's a saying in traditional Chinese opera: "The emperor is infallible."
This is not to say that emperors in ancient times never made any mistakes.
However, as the emperor, he could not allow his subordinates to know even the slightest mistake.
Otherwise, it would damage his reputation as a wise ruler.
They're all pretty much the same.
Putting aside everything else, there's our restaurant.
If it weren't for you, my third senior brother, and Ma Hua keeping things in check, wouldn't those cooks down there eventually start to cheat us on our cooking skills?
No matter how delicious the food is, our family will earn the lion's share, while they'll only earn a small portion.
Why do they strive for perfection?
Because they know that you and the MCA can both tell the difference between good and bad food.
That's why I dare not be careless.
If you know nothing at this point, and the MCA only knows how to flatter and fawn, and the three senior brothers don't help us, then...
Do you think our restaurant can be run successfully?
The example He Yuzhu gave seems to have little to do with what he said earlier.
But He Daqing understood what it meant.
To put it simply, it means being able to stand firm.
Whether in terms of culinary skills or personal reputation.
Otherwise, problems will arise below.
In a restaurant, the cooks, helpers, and waiters are the lower-level employees.
In the family, He Daqing and He Yuzhu are like a big umbrella, protecting the children who haven't yet grown up.
What can we use to protect it?
At least one's reputation should be clean; one shouldn't act recklessly.
He Daqing understood completely this time.
He Yuzhu wasn't without desires or inherently righteous; rather, he was able to control his desires.
This time, what He Yuzhu said to him, or rather, what he begged him for, was for He Daqing to control his desires.
He Daqing felt his face getting hot. After hesitating for a while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from his throat: "Father knows."
He Yuzhu chuckled and stood up, saying, "I'll prepare two dishes, and we'll have a drink together, you and me?"
"Great!" He Daqing was delighted.
····
Through this heart-to-heart talk, He Yuzhu managed to temporarily persuade He Daqing.
As for how long He Daqing could maintain this position, He Yuzhu had no idea.
No one can guarantee that their father won't cause trouble until the day he breathes his last.
But if he can just stay quiet for a while, we should be thankful.
Recently, He An has been staying at home, while He Yuzhu has been less busy with work and has spent more time at home.
A once quiet home suddenly became lively with the return of a 'useless' girl. It wasn't that He Yuzhu looked down on his third daughter, but that it was simply the truth.
People like He Yuan often go home, but for them, going home is like clocking in for work; it's always the same few times.
Sundays, or around holidays like New Year's Day.
He Shouyi and Xiaochongzi, although they went to school, left early and returned late.
But the fourth child found his own fun outside, while the little bug was too sensible and didn't cause any trouble for He Yuzhu and his wife.
Needless to say, He Ping was even more so.
Only when He An came back did she act recklessly.
Every day, whatever she needs, she has to pester her parents and ask for it.
For example, even if she sleeps until ten o'clock, she can still decide what she wants to eat.
They would definitely call and harass He Yuzhu first.
She knew perfectly well what answer her father would give her—it would just be to tell her to talk to her mother.
But she just enjoys harassing people.
Parents who are needed by their children are busy, but they are happy in their busyness.
It's that simple logic.
Even the old lady has become more energetic lately because He An came home.
Even when He An was at home, he didn't serve her at all; instead, he yelled and shouted every day.
Sing a song, or shout "Grandma!" at the top of your lungs, asking where something is in the house...
All of these can make the old lady feel less lonely.
That's what a family is all about; it's where most of the happiness comes from.
None of them were brought by the most capable person in the family.
Instead, it's the most useless person in the family who provides emotional support for the whole family.
Being mischievous and causing trouble are both sources of emotional value.
This explains why many families with children miss their children terribly when they are not with them.
The reason why they are always clinging to each other, yet you can't help but feel disgusted by them.
There's no other reason; providing too much emotional value can easily lead to a breakdown.
At the Beijing Railway Station, He Yuzhu, dressed in a suit, looked at the more than twenty young people in front of him, each carrying a bag and luggage.
He's here today to offer emotional value as well.
He felt a slight itch on his head, but the twenty-odd young men opposite him were staring intently at him.
Everyone was waiting for him to cheer them on, which made He Yuzhu feel a bit of a toothache.
He took a deep breath and said to everyone in a dry voice, "Students, today is the day we send you off on your journey."
From the moment you board this train, your life will enter a new phase.
You have graduated and are about to enter the workforce.
Go to the reform and opening-up areas and use what you've learned to prove your worth.
····
I don't want to say anything encouraging today.
I just wanted to take these ten minutes or so to chat with everyone.
What can we, a group of about twenty people, see if we go to the south?
What can I learn?
What can it recognize? ......
He Yuzhu's barrage of questions made the twenty-odd young people think deeply.
However, He Yuzhu did not expect to get any answers from these children.
The oldest of these people was only twenty-five, and the youngest was twenty-one.
They were young and had no family burdens, which is why they listened to He Yuzhu's nonsense and thought about going south to try their luck.
"...You'll see a term called 'SZ speed'. The procedures and development speed there are probably something you've never seen before."
····
You will also see all sorts of unfairness.
Those foreign managers clearly know nothing, but their salaries are probably five or six times higher than yours.
