Jiangzhou.

Mid-level villa area.

Villa No. 1.

"Old Ye, are you planning to retire behind the scenes?"

I didn't discuss the live interview with Ye Chen right away.

After Ye Chen returned home, took a shower, changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.

Chen Yinuo then asked beside his pillow.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "Why do you ask?"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. There is no doubt that this live interview will win you absolute public support, and will make the public opinion that originally condemned and questioned you completely turn to support you, including being influenced by your words and becoming united against those news media. But don't forget, even if those news media will be hit hard by the official crackdown, they will not completely disappear from the public opinion field!"

"They will lie dormant and keep an eye on you all the time. As long as you make a mistake, as long as you are criticized, they will hysterically attack you, and even burn the fire on the Lin family! If it is not a malicious smear and rumor, if it is based on facts, then they will have enough confidence. However, public opinion has always been volatile, and most of the time, people tend to be fence-sitters..."

"To some extent, this can even be described in one sentence: If a bad person does a hundred bad things, but suddenly does one good thing, he will be said to have turned over a new leaf, and thus be praised, exalted, and even sung to praise! But if a good person does ten thousand good things, it's ok, but once he does one bad thing, even if it's an unintentional bad thing, he will become the target of public criticism and be stabbed in the back. This can be said to be a classic description in the field of public opinion!"

"And the content of this interview of yours is bound to win you unprecedented prestige and public opinion. Even in the history of China's modern business community, it may be unprecedented. But this also means that the higher you are praised, the more painful it will be when you fall! I believe you must have weighed these things more clearly than anyone else!"

"That's why I want to ask you if you are thinking of retiring behind the scenes. Otherwise, if you continue to be so high-profile in the business world, sooner or later, what I said above will happen. After all, from now on, you have been labeled as the heir of the Lin family, which means that you will be under the spotlight all the time. The slightest carelessness or any mistake will be infinitely magnified and fall into controversy. You may not care about it in the past, but you can't care about it now, and you can't help but care about it!"

However, Chen Yinuo's words suddenly made Ye Chen feel extremely surprised.

He turned his head to look at his wife in disbelief and said, "Yinuo, I'm surprised to hear these words coming out of your mouth!"

"Don't be so frivolous. Although many people say that I'm a vase, even if I'm a vase, I'm not the kind of vase that doesn't strive for progress. Besides, after being by your side for a few years, I'm afraid that even if I'm a block of wood, I should have become more intelligent!" Chen Yinuo said unhappily.

"So you want me to retreat behind the scenes?"

Ye Chen really put away his smile.

He looked at Chen Yinuo seriously.

"I want to and I don't want to!" Chen Yinuo looked very conflicted.

There was no need for Ye Chen to ask more questions.

She took the initiative to explain, "If your family background hadn't been exposed, I definitely wouldn't want you to retire behind the scenes. I even disagree with your previous proposal to retire at the age of 40. But the problem is that now with the exposure of your family background, everything has changed! Although you were in the spotlight in the past, you didn't have to bear too many shackles and could do whatever you wanted. But now, your every move will inevitably be over-interpreted, and even worse, it will be raised to the level of the Lin family, causing you to bear too much that you shouldn't bear. So if I really have to say, I would rather you retire now. After all, we have everything we should have!"

Little did he know that Ye Chen was just smiling playfully.

"I think I have to correct you on one point, that is, why can't we do what we want?"

Chen Yinuo: "..."

this--

Did I not express myself clearly enough?

Didn't I already say that?

Without waiting for Chen Yinuo to answer.

Ye Chen said, "There are too many troubles in this world, and most of the time they are caused by ourselves. No, it should be said that we force ourselves to worry unnecessarily!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Yinuo was a little confused.

"What you mean is that I can do whatever I want, so what? You just said that I used to not care about the excessive focus, but now I can't and cannot not care. What I want to say is, why can't I not care? Why can't I not care?" Ye Chen said.

Chen Yinuo was suddenly speechless.

She seemed to not know how to respond.

"The reason why I have never been too close to the Lin family in the past, apart from some invisible resistance in my heart, is that I am afraid that being too close to the Lin family will cause my mentality to become abnormal, and I am afraid that I will care too much about the Lin family! So I have kept a certain distance from them. Although my family background has been exposed now, I don’t even consider whether I will cause trouble to the Lin family in the future because of my words and deeds! As the saying goes, a person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. I have gone through all those difficult years in the past. Do I have to live a life that is not my own because of the Lin family?"

"If I was born and raised in the Lin family, then there would be nothing wrong with what you said. But I have experienced all the sufferings of the world at the bottom of society, and I have lived for more than 30 years before I knew there was such a family. Of course...if I really relied on the support and help of the Lin family to win everything I have now, then I must be like you said, but the fact is that you know that all this has nothing to do with the Lin family. Whether there is a Lin family or not has nothing to do with everything we have now! So, why should I let myself live in fear? Is it because the Lin family is a ZZ family?"

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, "But it's understandable that you would have such thoughts. After all, there are very few people in this world who can live wisely. People are often blinded by many things, such as external power and status, and their thinking logic is blinded. It's like... many ordinary people at the bottom of society always kowtow and flatter when facing some rich people, even if they know that they can't get any help from the other party. They completely forget that they don't rely on the other party for food or clothes, and they can't even expect the other party to help them. But they still humble themselves and act according to the other party's face. This is the logic of thinking being blinded!"

"So Yinuo, you have also fallen into a similar misunderstanding. Of course, I also know that this analogy is not very appropriate for me and the Lin family. After all, the natures are very different, but in the final analysis, it is not much different. As long as I am upright, I am not afraid of my own shadow being crooked. Why should I worry about affecting the Lin family? Even if it affects the Lin family, as long as I am upright, I am not afraid of my own shadow being crooked, so what? Do I have to live for the Lin family on thin ice for the rest of my life?"
