Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

"Look at the two people in front of you, they're really surrounded by stars."

"Does this mean that if something is destined to be present at birth, it is, and if it isn't, it isn't?" Xiaoyu asked Xiaowei.

Xiao Wei chuckled, "Some things are like that."

For example, things like airplanes and ships—if you're born with them, you're destined to have them. If you're not destined to have them, you can work your butt off for hundreds of years and still not be able to afford them.

However, some things can still be effective if you put in the effort.

For example, studying hard to get into university can really change your destiny.

Like me, if I hadn't studied hard and gone to a good university, I'd still be digging in the mountains planting trees. How could I be sitting in the same workplace as someone like Mr. Tang as a colleague?

Seeing what Xiao Wei said, Xiao Yu admired him even more. "Indeed, you've finally made it through and landed a good job." Their unit has decent salaries and benefits compared to civil servants in other regions.

"Of course! Nobody expected that I could pass the exam and get a government job in Beijing. Everyone in the village says our family is incredibly lucky," Xiao Wei said, half proudly and half jokingly.

Xiaoyu chuckled twice, then turned her head back, silently thinking to herself that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this was Xiao Wei's moment of glory. Under normal circumstances, he should eventually reach the level of deputy section chief and then retire with the benefits of a section chief.

Of course, if Xiao Wei can find a good partner in the future, she might be able to move up in the ranks. But it's unlikely to be her.

Thinking of her parents' expectations for her, Xiaoyu could only say, "I'm sorry, I understand your thoughts, but I also have my own path to walk. These days, the path to advancement is very narrow."

Regardless of gender, everyone has to use all their resources to strive, but there are no more resources to offer to outsiders, even spouses.

It would be different if it were Xiao Tang. Although Xiao Tang's family doesn't have a powerful backer for the time being, his family has various business resources. If you could marry Xiao Tang and make use of his family's resources, it would be easy to achieve political success.

Actually, many girls in his workplace were interested in Xiao Tang, and some older women even tried to introduce him to potential partners, but he rejected them all.

It seems he still cares about his girlfriend quite a bit; they've practically become an old married couple.

What a waste! This guy is already so rich, yet he still wants to find an even richer girlfriend. What a waste of resources!

If I were a guy, I'd want a girlfriend with that kind of ability too.

Xiaoyu silently complained in her heart.

Xiao Wei was still saying, "The Tang family's relatives are really rich. I think these people are even richer than Shen Wansan in the legends. They even ride on a cruise ship the size of a warship. I heard from the crew that the cruise ship was very expensive when it was bought, and it's even more expensive to go out to sea. Even without counting the crew's wages, the fuel alone costs around 100,000 yuan."

Good heavens, this is just a trip, and he spends tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on it just to have some fun.

I really want to rob a rich person. Do you think even their toilet is made of gold?

"Uh, really? Even things made of gold aren't necessarily comfortable." Xiaoyu said awkwardly.

"Hey, I was just saying. After this trip, I realize that what Young Master Tang usually says isn't intentional. He's just a spoiled brat who doesn't know the hardships of life."

"How could someone like that be willing to sit at a service window and do basic business? Wouldn't that just be making things difficult for themselves?"

"I don't know." Xiaoyu didn't know either. She thought that maybe this kind of young master would soon be unable to endure hardship and would resign in tears.

……

Meanwhile, Xiao Tang and his friends were also telling metaphysical stories.

Xiao Tang said that people in his hometown are quite superstitious and believe in fortune telling.

He told Xiaomeng that when he was a child, his grandfather found a fortune teller to predict the fates of all his grandchildren. All the children in his family were well-behaved, but his fortune was the worst.

Xiao Tang pointed to his nose and said, "That old guy said I have no luck with money, that I'll lose money no matter what business I do, and that I can only stay at home and be a parasite to live a peaceful and wealthy life."

Moreover, he couldn't marry a woman from a less privileged background than me, otherwise he would be poor for life. I absolutely couldn't stand that, so I let the air out of the old man's motorcycle tires.

But my grandparents actually believed it and were planning to give me away to another family to be a son-in-law.

Luckily, I'm not completely brainless, and I managed to pass the civil service exam, so at least I have some value. Otherwise, I would have had to get married early and stay home as a stay-at-home dad.

This person's words were so funny that Xiaomeng laughed until her stomach hurt. "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, you're destined to marry into the family."

"Don't say that. I've already changed my fate through studying. I'll be supported by the country from now on. Even if I don't marry into a wealthy family, I'll still be well-off." Xiao Tang proudly raised her chin.

"Is this old man talking nonsense? I see you're doing quite well in your small business. You can easily make several times your investment by buying and reselling some plush toys." Xiaomeng still found him hilarious.

Xiao Tang said helplessly, "This is all windfall, making money through shady means, not legitimate income."

If it were a legitimate business like a shop or company, I really wouldn't have that kind of luck. I'm lucky I haven't lost too much money.

I used to open a franchised milk tea shop, and everyone else who opened one made money, but mine never lasted more than three months.

“Then why did you invest in other companies? I haven’t seen any of them go bankrupt.” Xiaomeng looked for the loophole in his words.

Xiao Tang was even more helpless, "Investing a little bit is fine, just taking dividends and not participating in the operation. If I were to get involved in the operation, or invest too much, the company would definitely go bankrupt."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! So you're born to be a wage earner? Your businesses are doomed to fail?"

"Yes, I don't have many career options."

Either take the civil service exam, or develop an artistic hobby and turn it into a job.

His assistant, Yangyang, chimed in from behind, "So this just shows that you, boss, are born with a life of wealth and privilege. We can only envy you so much."

"Hey, actually I think my birth chart is similar to yours, boss. I don't want to work hard anymore; I really want to find a rich woman to marry into my family."

Xiao Tang shooed him away, saying, "Go away, what are you doing here?"
