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

Just then, Jiang Xueying's phone rang. After she hung up, she smiled and said to Li Xiaofeng, "Li Qiuxia ran into a wall with Dapeng and came to me crying. I suspect she might be trying to beg for alms from me!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded and smiled, saying, "That's possible. After all, you're both girls, and it's easier for girls to talk to each other. Besides, you're quite wealthy, and your net worth isn't any less than Dapeng's."

Should I give it to her?

"Nonsense, of course we can't give it to her. She's the same kind of person as you, who grew up with everything going smoothly and doesn't really have a concept of money."

If you just give it to her like that, she'll think that spending one or two million on her is as easy for you as buying a cup of milk tea!

Jiang Xueying said with a grin, "Actually, I also think spending one or two million is as simple as buying a cup of milk tea!"

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "I know you think spending one or two million is easy, but that's because you live in a world that isn't the world of ordinary people."

But the world you're going to work in is a world of ordinary people, and at the very bottom of that hierarchy. You need to have empathy to do this job well!

"I know I was just kidding. Actually, I've gained a lot during this time. I've learned a lot of things that I never imagined before. I can't believe there are people in this world who are so poor."

To be honest, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have been very tempted to donate all the money I had!

Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "The wealth that you and I have now, apart from our own efforts, is brought to us by the tide of the times, not by our true abilities."

If we were to start over and begin our business again, we would most likely gain less than a tenth of the wealth we had before.

Therefore, we must cherish what we have and not squander our wealth just because it came easily. Otherwise, we will squander our fortune along with it.

Helping others should be based on ensuring your own well-being. You cannot sacrifice yourself to help others; that would be unfair to yourself.

Furthermore, the best way to truly help others is to change them; simply giving alms only creates more lazy people.

You'll understand later that in today's society, the reason most people at the very bottom of society live the way they do is simple: they're too lazy to even look at others in a way that would be unbearable for most people. That's why they're not ordinary people.

Jiang Xueying seemed somewhat disagreed, shaking her head and saying, "When I was doing charity work, I visited some impoverished areas. I felt that the main problem was the lack of ways to make money. Relying solely on the small plot of land at home, it was impossible to earn any money."

"Then let them try to come out and work. They will definitely find all sorts of excuses for themselves. Even if they manage to come out, they will end up like the Sanhe Gods."

"Sanhe Gods? What are those?"

"A group of poor second-generation people who are lazy before they get rich, after coming from the poor and remote rural areas to the materialistic big city, are blinded by the prosperity of the big city. They can't make big money, and they look down on small money. They dream of getting rich overnight."

This group of people only do day labor. When they have a little money, they go to internet cafes to play games. When they are tired, they go back to their dilapidated little rented rooms to sleep. When they run out of money, they complain about their fate and the injustice of society.

If you go inside their little house, you'll find it full of instant noodle boxes, beverage bottles, plastic bags, and cigarette butts and ashes scattered all over the floor.

The blankets and sheets were dark and tattered; anyone who didn't know better would think they'd picked them out of a garbage dump.

"Is it really that serious? You're exaggerating!"

"It's not strange at all. In every corner of the city, there are groups of people like this. They have low awareness, a lot of resentment, and after reading a few seemingly plausible arguments on the Internet, they think they are enlightened and keep shouting that they don't want to be slaves."

"So do you think what they said is right or wrong?"

"Xueying, you need to understand one thing: all the principles in this world are right, and all the principles are wrong. Life is just a series of choices, it's just that some people have more choices and some people have fewer choices."

However, life is a choice; you can choose to strive or you can choose to give up.

Many people think that choosing to give up is a sign of wisdom, but in reality, it's just sacrificing one's future interests for short-term happiness.

Their lamentations about the unfairness of fate and their complaints about society are actually just excuses for their laziness, somewhat like a manipulative woman who wants everything.

Jiang Xueying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Do men also have 'green tea' types?"

"Of course, there are many, at least they are essentially the same. There is a saying that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person. I didn't quite understand it before, but after experiencing more things, I gradually came to understand it."

"Now that you mention it, I feel like my charity work has lost much of its meaning!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Most people's kindness comes from their sympathy for the weak, but that's not true kindness. True kindness is when you've seen the ugliest things in the world, yet you still remain kind."

Let me give you an example. For instance, Buddha is compassionate, but Buddha also has the wrath of Vajra. After his wrath subsides, Buddha is still willing to save all sentient beings.

"Tch, if you're a Buddha, you're at most a 'Joyful Buddha,' the utterly wicked kind. Your so-called salvation of all beings probably only extends to those young and beautiful female benefactors!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "This Buddha's cultivation is limited and his magical power is weak. Saving a few female benefactors in the mortal world is already the limit. Saving too many would be too much for this Buddha to handle."

Actually, countless female devotees have been vying to be saved by this Buddha and delivered from their suffering. However, the Buddha only helps those with affinity; not everyone is qualified. This Buddha feels that only a few of you are destined to be with me.

"Pah! You're shameless! No one else can put such a shameless thing in such a grand way!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a smug look, "Of course, the vast fortune I have accumulated in this life has already proven my abilities. I am certainly not an ordinary person."

Jiang Xueying pouted coquettishly and said irritably, "Fine then, you damn Happy Buddha, aren't you supposed to be kind? Then you can do some more good deeds!"

If Qiuxia really asks me for money, I'll blame it on you and say you stopped me from giving her the money.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said nonchalantly, "Okay, okay, no problem. Kindness and taking the blame are like brothers!"
