Chapter 1145 Stability is Above 1
Xu Feng spoke earnestly and with a very serious expression: "Wenwen, you should understand that your easy and comfortable life is not entirely because you are smart and hardworking. After all, there are many people who are more hardworking and smarter than you, but they don't have the same good treatment as you because their families support them."
"Grandpa and Grandma are getting old now, and our parents are also getting older, so it's up to our generation to step up! Your family knows you have no interest in politics and love literature, so they haven't forced you into politics. They let you do what you love!"
“But I can’t! I can’t afford to make a single mistake. If I do, the political lives of all of us will be over! You can’t continue to run your literary magazine without any worries! So, whether for the public or for private reasons, you should wish me well.”
"Whether in life or at work, only when I am doing well can I protect you and be your support. If I am not doing well, or if my career is hopeless, I will be too busy to take care of myself, let alone support you or be your backer."
Yang Wenwen was dumbfounded: "Cousin, I...I'm sorry! I oversimplified things. I just thought you deserved better, but I didn't think of anything else!"
Xu Feng pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yang Wenwen: "Although mentioning Liu Yibang might make you uncomfortable, I have to admit that Liu Yibang's actions were correct!"
"After realizing that his pursuit was different from Cao Yuanyuan's, he decisively and gracefully broke up with her, focused on his work, and then met a like-minded lover at work."
"This is a huge advantage in one's career! On the one hand, the relationship is stable and they can understand each other; most importantly, it can prevent outside infiltration!"
Yang Wenwen muttered under her breath, "There's no such thing as infiltration. It feels like in your eyes, as long as you go abroad, you're treated like a spy!"
Xu Feng said earnestly, "Espionage is only one aspect. Do you know what the most important one is?"
Yang Wenwen was slightly taken aback: "Cousin, just say what you have to say!"
Xu Feng casually picked up a magazine from the table and placed it in front of Yang Wenwen: "Take a look, this magazine only publishes articles about the good things about foreign countries, and then compares them with the bad things about China!"
Yang Wenwen whispered, "Foreign countries are indeed more developed than us. We see the advantages of foreign countries, then point out the shortcomings of our own country, and then correct them. This is also a kind of progress!"
Xu Feng nodded: "This does have a positive effect. Although the foreign events published in the magazine are very likely to be fabricated, they can still spur positive progress in China."
"But if this continues, the overwhelming propaganda that generalizes from limited information will create a deep-seated perception that the domestic situation can never compare to that of the foreign situation, whether in terms of economy, culture, or any other aspect. It belittles everything about the domestic situation and then idolizes foreign countries, hence the saying 'the moon is rounder abroad than at home'! This is a form of ideological colonization!"
Yang Wenwen was dumbfounded: "Cousin, it's not that serious, is it? At most, it's just people striving for better opportunities and water flowing downhill, it's just following the rules!"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "So what you see is only the surface. What we see is something deeper! Politics is cruel, but it is also rational. Any emotional or irrational behavior is like planting a time bomb. Even if it doesn't explode now, it will explode later!"
“I didn’t want to talk to you about these things before, I wanted you to live a happy life without any worries! But now you’re all grown up. For the first 30 years, we could rely on our parents; but for the next 30 years, we will be their support, their pride! Can we love and care for them like they did for us when we were little? Are we capable enough to be their support?”
Yang Wenwen's face was somewhat pale. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been outstanding among her classmates, not only because of her excellent grades but also because of her privileged family background. Teachers liked her, classmates adored her, and praise for her could be heard almost everywhere. Now, thinking back, was she really that outstanding? Obviously not; it was all thanks to her parents, elders, and family circumstances.
"Cousin, I'm sorry! I only saw that Su-Fen was very beautiful, fashionable, and had an international perspective, so I thought she was outstanding and that's why I wanted to introduce her to you. I won't do it again!"
Xu Feng nodded: "Good, I understand. Since we're on the topic, let me remind you: be careful when choosing a partner! I don't expect them to bring any benefit to our family, but they absolutely cannot be a burden! Because this concerns the kind of life you and your children will lead in the future!"
Yang Wenwen felt a deep respect. She wasn't naive; at work, the editor-in-chief and superiors treated her with great courtesy, and even when she made mistakes, there were people to guide and help her. To maintain this kind of life, she needed to ensure the family's prosperity. She didn't have the brains for politics, nor did she want to do those things, so she also hoped her cousin could rise through the ranks and achieve great success.
Yang Wenwen nodded: "Cousin, I understand! Thank you for telling me all this! I will never be the second Li Anna!"
"That's good!" Xu Feng nodded. "As for my pursuit of Linghua, don't talk about it outside! Judging from the current situation, I estimate that I can't compete with Liang Cheng. Although Liang Cheng and I can argue a few times to vent our anger, we will make up in the future."
Yang Wenwen moved her lips and nodded: "Don't worry, cousin, I won't tell anyone outside!"
Xu Feng was feeling agitated, but after chatting with his cousin for a while, he calmed down. His trip to Shenzhen tomorrow remained unchanged. If his love life was destined to be unsuccessful, then his work must be going smoothly.
Xu Feng got off the plane and unexpectedly saw Liang Cheng at the exit. Xu Feng was arrogant and had a sour face.
Liang Cheng waved his hand: "I took time out of my busy schedule to pick you up, and you, on the contrary, are giving me a sour look!"
Xu Feng tossed the luggage to Liang Cheng: "Little Cheng, take good care of him!"
Liang Cheng took Xu Feng's luggage and said with a smile, "Why did you come alone this time?"
Xu Feng replied, "Last time, one of our clients couldn't come because of something that happened before the Lunar New Year. We were all ready after the New Year, but he still didn't come, so I'm planning to come and take a look! If they're not willing to come and invest, we'll give those resources to other investors!"
Liang Chengshen agreed: "We can't keep waiting for a certain investor. What you're doing is perfectly reasonable! Come on, the hotel I booked is quiet, comfortable, and very convenient. Why don't you stay there too?"
Xu Feng happened to be alone and staying at the same hotel as Liang Cheng, so they could often chat and broaden their ideas: "Okay! I'll make you apologize to me these next few days!"
Liang Cheng glanced at him and said, "Don't push your luck. I'm only here to pick you up because of our 20-year friendship. Don't take advantage of this!"
