Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was Third Aunt Zhou Ping’s voice. She returned home at that moment, carrying various parcels as usual.
Gu Qingyao’s smile immediately faded. Gu Qingyao knew very well that she could not give a woman like Zhou Ping an inch, or she would take a foot.
Gu Qingyao said indifferently, “Third Aunt, entrepreneurs also depend on their own abilities to support themselves. They depend on their hard work to eat. The working cla.s.s is the most honorable.
“Some people have their own land, and they farm to support themselves. Those without much land have started their own small businesses. Everyone has to earn a living. Surely, they can’t be wastrels just living off their family’s savings?”
Zhou Ping’s expression changed. “Yao Yao, I only meant that your older cousin should find a respectable job. Why are you calling him a wastrel?”
Gu Qingyao immediately laughed. “Third Aunt, what’s the matter with you? Fifth Cousin is my own cousin. Why would I say something like that about him? It was just an a.n.a.logy!
“Besides, my Fifth Cousin has always been very smart. He has depended on himself during his years living apart from the family. He’s nothing like those wastrels!”
Gu Jinxuan’s rather gloomy expression immediately cleared up.
Gu Qingyao turned to look at Gu Jinxuan and batted her eyelids at him. She spoke to him, like a small girl coaxing her older brother, “Fifth Cousin, I’m just concerned about you! Don’t be misled by Third Aunt. Third Aunt has always been in China and has not interacted with many people. That’s why she thinks entrepreneurs.h.i.+p is shameful. But the entrepreneurs she sees are all hawkers that set up their stalls on the street.
“Think about my mother’s family, Uncle Qin’s family, and my mother. They’re all entrepreneurs! Aren’t they very respectable! Fourth Cousin is going to expand in this area too.
“I was just thinking that Oldest Cousin and Second Cousin are doing so well in official circles. Third Cousin has a pretty good job and should have savings set aside for his wedding. Fourth Cousin has just returned from studying overseas and has excellent qualifications. He is highly sought-after. He is about to come back and start his own business. Fifth Cousin, that leaves only you!
“I’m thinking! That if you find something you’re interested in and dabble in it, then all my cousins will be outstanding, and that will reflect well on me too!”
Gu Jinxuan thought about his older cousins. It was true that he had not achieved much. He immediately felt that what his younger cousin had said made sense.
Entrepreneurs… Qiao family, Qin family…
Gu Qingyao continued, “Our Gu family is considered to be an important family in the capital now, right? Our family is doing so well that if you want to start your own business or do something, you have many advantages. It will be much easier for you to succeed compared to others. I’m not asking you to set up a roadside stall to sell vegetables. I’m asking you to learn from my mother and older cousins. Let me tell you! My older cousins are very respectable. Oh, they’re very, very rich overseas. Each of them has several luxury cars and villas overseas! ”
Gu Jinxuan’s eyes widened when he heard that!
When she heard that, Zhou Ping also began to quiver. They were so rich?
She had never met such rich people before?
She could scarcely believe what Gu Qingyao had said,
Gu Jinxuan grabbed Gu Qingyao’s hand and gulped. His mouth felt dry!
“Younger… Younger Cousin, are you telling me the truth? Your older cousins all have many luxury cars? And villas?”
Zhou Ping almost forgot to breathe as she p.r.i.c.ked up her ears to listen to Gu Qingyao.
