"However, being born in a family like ours basically puts you at the pinnacle of humanity. No matter what choice you make, it's a way of playing life." Peng Yingyue said thoughtfully.

As they grow older, Peng Zhan, Peng Lan, Peng Zhoudan and others have gradually realized a problem.

Their starting point is almost everyone else's ending point.

You don’t need to think about money, fame or fortune anymore.

How to live this life meaningfully is the most important issue.

Peng Lingmin stretched lazily. She didn't want to think about such a profound question yet.

Since childhood, I have been forced by my mother Zhou Ling to read financial reports and learn how to manage companies and family assets. I have very few leisurely days to play happily, and I have no life experience at all.

She just wanted to take advantage of the moment when she was able to make a choice, and -

Wasting time.

Yes, her thoughts are so simple.

In her opinion, being busy is a kind of life, being slow is also a kind of life, working hard is a kind of life, and being lazy and casual is also a kind of life.

No life is more valuable, and no life is more noble.

Born naked, die a box of ashes.

You can bring nothing and you can take nothing away.

In that case, why not choose to live the most leisurely life possible?

Anyway, I have everything I need in my life, so I don’t have to worry about any messy things.

Isn’t it beautiful to quietly watch the spring flowers, summer lotus, autumn moon and winter snow?

"Yueyue, what do you think about us going back to our hometown to live a pastoral life? A life like picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely enjoying the southern mountains, like Tao Yuanming?" Peng Lingmin suddenly asked.

"You..." Peng Yingyue looked at her in surprise.

Then he reached out and touched her forehead, and then tried his own forehead.

"I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?" she said to herself.

Peng Lingmin was speechless and said, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Peng Yingyue: "Have you become insane from studying literature? Why do you start having these thoughts?"

Is it possible for children from a family like theirs to have such a poetic life?

Family inheritance has a mission.

Especially this family.

"Go to hell, I'm telling the truth!" Peng Lingmin said seriously.

In her opinion, everything is possible.

Whether it was Peng Zhan and Peng Lan choosing the sports path, or Peng Zhoudan delaying his schooling to play racing, both were successful.

Why can't I just waste my time?

Peng Yingyue: "I think Xuan, given how much your aunt values ​​you and how she has been raising you strictly since you were a child, if you really say that, she will definitely not agree."

Peng Lingmin shook her head. "I make my own decisions. There's nothing I can do if she disagrees. Besides, I don't want to be as tired as she is all my life. I just want to live this short life leisurely."

"Have you mentioned this idea to your dad?" Peng Yingyue asked.

Peng Lingmin: "No, I...I haven't thought about it yet."

"What haven't you thought about? You don't dare, right?" Peng Yingyue exposed her little thoughts.

Peng Lingmin smiled uncomfortably.

She was right.

To be honest, although her mother Zhou Ling has been strict with her since she was a child, what she feared most was not her mother, but her father.

Even though my father is usually smiling and kind, when he gets really angry, even without making any sound, the whole space feels like it's been imprisoned and suffocating.

She once witnessed the feeling of suffocation at a board meeting of a major group.

That year, a poisoned liquor scandal broke out in Xishan Province, and all major groups under Peng Wanhua also conducted comprehensive inspections on food safety issues.

Because it has many food and beverage group companies, its various subsidiaries and brands are even more diverse.

In order to save costs, some subsidiaries choose to outsource production and then sell the products under their own brand.

As a result, the OEM products had serious quality problems such as excessive additives and falsified product ingredient reports.

This is not the only example.

This really goes against my father's principles and bottom line.

She knows her father's requirements for the quality and safety of his food.

When her father was furious and silent, she witnessed with her own eyes the scene where dozens of people in the audience were so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

Those are the CEOs of leading companies in major industries around the world.

Normally, when appearing on television or in the news, many national leaders have to be careful about who they receive.

When their father got angry, these people held their breath and dared not even make a sound of breathing.

She still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now.

She didn't know whether her choice would violate her father's principles and bottom line.

But before she figured it out, she really didn't dare to show it.

So, her strategy now is to delay.

After completing undergraduate studies, you can get a master's degree, and after completing master's degree, you can get a doctorate.

Let’s spend these years leisurely first.

Anyway, it’s my own university, so it shouldn’t be a problem to study for a few more years.

Peng Yingyue suddenly said, "I think Dad is an open-minded person, at least more open-minded than Aunt. Look at Brother Zhan, Sister Lan, and Brother Dan. They want to go swimming and play racing, and he basically supports them all."

"Yeah, I agree." Peng Lingmin nodded.

Peng Yingyue: "So there is no reason for him to object to the lifestyle you choose."

"It makes some sense, but I still think it's a little mysterious. Brother Zhan and Sister Lan have both achieved success. In his words, they have surpassed themselves and felt the scenery at a higher level. At least their lives are not empty anymore." Peng Lingmin said.

Peng Yingyue: "Although you have wasted your time, as long as you feel that you have not wasted your time, isn't that enough?"

"Yeah, that's what I think too. I think it's interesting to quietly feel the peace and tranquility of the soul and the good times, even if it's just a book and a pot of tea a day." Peng Lingmin nodded in agreement.

When she talked about the beautiful and leisurely rural life, her eyes lit up.

Her favorite form of entertainment is not going to the amusement park, watching movies or playing games, or getting makeup, shopping in the mall or traveling.

She liked to sit in the garden, reading quietly, watching the plants, birds, insects, butterflies, etc., and she could do that all day long.

But although the gardens in Shek O Manor are numerous and large, the only drawback is that they are under the nose of my mother.

Whenever I have such free time, my mother always drags me over to learn company management or family asset management, etc.

There is really no leisure time at all.

depressed.

"Uh... do you really think so?" Peng Yingyue moved closer and stared at her, as if trying to see clearly her deepest thoughts.

Peng Lingmin felt uneasy being stared at, so she pushed her and said, "Don't look at me like that. This is just my personality."

Peng Yingyue seemed to be thinking about something and said, "I thought you had a mental problem."

She wondered if Peng Lingmin was pressured to study too hard when she was a child, which led to her rebellious mentality now?
