Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

In Li Xiaofeng's villa, Jiang Xueying nestled beside him, smiling as she asked, "I heard that some of the vixens from the top were stolen away. Why don't you seem sad at all?"

Li Xiaofeng kissed her on the cheek and said with a smile, "You said they were vixens, so what's there to be sad about? They're gone."

Actually, to me, they are more like company employees; everything else is secondary. I'll only consider having things that are mutually enjoyable with them, provided it doesn't harm the company's interests.

"what about me?"

“You’re different. You’re my woman, the most important part of my life. You can’t be measured by money, but they can be. After all, they put themselves on the market, don’t you think?”

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say this, Jiang Xueying put away her somewhat mocking smile and said with some emotion, "Actually, it wasn't easy for them to get to where they are today!"

"It is indeed not easy, but how many people in this world have it easy? Look at the ordinary people around us, earning only two or three thousand a month, they have it even harder."

These girls are taking a shortcut, but there are no shortcuts in this world. They're sacrificing themselves to accelerate their career growth, and there's always a price to pay.

Jiang Xueying seemed hesitant, biting her lip, unsure whether to speak or not.

"What's wrong? We've been married for so long, is there anything you want to say but can't tell me?"

Jiang Xueying said with a hint of helplessness, "A couple of days ago, I spoke with Secretary Li's daughter, Li Qiuxia, who said that a big entrepreneur like you shouldn't just think about making money, but should take on more social responsibility."

She said that the Li Group has not donated a single penny to charity over the years, and that as the boss, you only think about squandering money and living a life of extravagance.

Sometimes I think, if I had helped those girls more, maybe they wouldn't have done what they did!

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "First of all, families that can send their children to art schools, even if they are not well-off, are relatively different from those poor families who can't afford to eat or go to school."

Secondly, they take shortcuts to become famous, and once they are famous, they can make a lot of money with their fame. This is not helping those in distress, but satisfying their extraordinary desires. How can you help them? Why should you help them?

If they don't follow my path, they'll follow someone else's; it's only a matter of time. Rather than letting others benefit, I might as well benefit them. At least I'm treating them a little better!

If they encounter scammers outside and lose both their money and their relationships, there's nothing they can do. As long as they want to continue making a living this way, they can only swallow their anger and bear it.

"Sigh, it's true that some girls don't respect themselves enough, they're even willing to sell themselves for money. But what about those poor families? They really need help, but Li Qiuxia said you only gave her five million, that's too stingy!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Xueying, there's something you need to understand. First and foremost, I'm a boss. As a boss, my basic social responsibility is to take good care of my employees, and only then will I consider others."

Furthermore, I distrust the charitable organizations in society today. Take the Red Cross Society of China for example; they dare not disclose their accounts, which leads to the International Red Cross Society of China not recognizing them.

No matter how much money I earn, it's money I earned through hard work. Why should I let those parasites squander it on something else?

"If you don't trust those charitable organizations, you should at least trust Li Qiuxia. She is from an official organization, and she has a very good character."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to give her more money, but because the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. She made so much money as soon as she made a move, which will definitely arouse jealousy."

Five million is enough for Li Qiuxia to achieve political success in her position. Giving her too much would be bad, as it might attract gossip and affect her future promotion.

This amount was set by Secretary Li. He's been in officialdom for so many years; he knows this better than we do. Don't worry about it for him.

At this point, Li Xiaofeng asked in a teasing tone, "Xueying, why are you suddenly bringing up these things with me? Is it because you've suddenly become idle and feel a little uncomfortable, and want to do something?"

"Qiuxia told me a lot of things, and I think she's right. I have so much money now, I'll never be able to spend it all in this lifetime."

Leaving it to your children might actually hinder their future endeavors. It would be better to use that money to give back to society and do good deeds; that would be a way of accumulating good karma for your children. What do you think?

"I don't think it's a good idea. You don't understand the importance of money at all!" Li Xiaofeng said irritably.

"Why? Is money really that important? I think hard work and diligence are the most important things!"

"Xueying, it's easy for you to talk when you're not in my shoes. You come from a privileged background and met me while you were still in school. You've had a pretty smooth life, so of course you don't understand what it's like to be broke."

There's a saying that poverty breeds cunning and wealth breeds conscience. It's not that the poor are inherently bad and the rich are inherently conscientious, but rather that poverty can sometimes make you abandon everything.

In ancient times of famine, people would sometimes abandon their dignity and even commit murder and arson just to get a bite to eat.

The so-called "wealth fosters conscience" is because money can solve most of life's problems. Rich people only need to keep being rich to remain elegant and gentlemanly.

Of course, when the interests of the wealthy are harmed, preventing them from remaining wealthy indefinitely, that's a different story!

"What concept?"

"Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents!"

"..." Jiang Xueying opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but didn't know what to say.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said seriously, "Did you hear that? This is what they call being rich and having a good conscience. Rich people always seem to have much more manners than poor people."

When the rich bare their fangs, they are far more ferocious and ruthless than the poor, because they understand very well that their wealth is not something that can be obtained through hard work and diligence alone.

"If you don't get it through hard work and diligence, then what do you rely on?"

"Of course it's the legacy from the previous life... well, the wealth passed down from the previous generation. Especially for our next generation, their upward mobility will become increasingly limited, and without the support of the family, it will be difficult for them to rise to the top!"
