Jiang Jianming nodded on the other end and said, "Mm, it's a good thing that you want to help others, but now that this matter of yours is already under the spotlight online, it's no longer just your personal business. Public opinion is a double-edged sword; people won't necessarily praise you when things go well, but if there's even a slight mistake, the public's spit can sometimes drown you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
After Jiang Jianming finished speaking, Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.
His father had taught him many of the world's ways since he was a child.
Just like now, he would directly point out problems and tell him the stakes involved.
He never let him live in a safe ivory tower.
In his words, you can only survive better if you adapt to this world.
Instead of always being naive and ignorant, living in your own imagination.
Smart people make themselves better adapted to this world.
While those who are unwise will only insist that the world adapt to them.
As the saying goes, eight or nine out of ten things in life don't go as planned; this world won't always be as one wishes, and sometimes it's inevitable that it will disappoint us.
Just as Jiang Jianmin said, perhaps others won't praise you for your good deeds, but people will certainly condemn you for your mistakes.
This is a major law of human nature's development.
This world won't change for you, so if you want to change the world, you must first change yourself.
Unhappiness is sometimes not a problem with life itself, but a problem with your lifestyle.
Because of the System's requirements, Jiang Cheng wanted to build fifty Hope Primary Schools.
And because of what he had seen with his own eyes at Place Name Hope Primary School, Jiang Cheng was also willing to donate and build these fifty Hope Primary Schools.
Although the System did not specify the construction scale of these primary schools, because of his kindness, Jiang Cheng still wanted to bring the best educational conditions to these children in the mountain areas.
Under the Nine-Year Compulsory Education, children in our country can all attend school for free.
However, that doesn't mean the educational environment for children across the country is equal.
Within Jiang Cheng's capabilities, rather than being stingy and only spending a hundred thousand or so to build a hollow shell to shield them from the wind and rain, it was better to see the good deed through and build a better educational environment for them.
From the moment he started this plan, Jiang Cheng had intended to hand this project over to his father's company.
But back then, the most he thought about was just fearing that outside construction teams would scam him.
He had never thought about it from the perspective Jiang Jianming had just mentioned.
"You're right, I understand."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had taken his words to heart, Jiang Jianming stopped there.
He continued, "It's enough that you understand this principle. We'll talk more in detail when you get home."
"Okay."
After the two chatted for a bit longer about family matters, they hung up.
After hanging up, Jiang Cheng placed his phone on the nightstand.
He walked straight toward the bathroom.
After pressing the handle, as expected, the bathroom door was not locked.
After all, he had noticed Lin Qingxue's expression when she looked at him earlier.
That expression was clearly one that was conflicted yet somewhat unsatisfied.
Since that was the case, Jiang Cheng naturally needed to fulfill her.
A few seconds later, Lin Qingxue suddenly let out a loud "Ah!"
Obviously, she was focused on rinsing herself and was startled by Jiang Cheng suddenly walking in.
After Lin Qingxue cried out, her hands instinctively and shyly shrank toward her chest.
However, Jiang Cheng was one step ahead of her, and his two large hands covered them directly.
Lin Qingxue turned her head to look at Jiang Cheng behind her and said bashfully, "Why did you come in? Look at you, you haven't even taken off your clothes, and they're all wet."
Before Jiang Cheng could even ask Lin Qingxue to help him take them off, he saw that Lin Qingxue had already skillfully begun to unbutton the front of his shirt.
Looking at the smile at the corner of Lin Qingxue's mouth, Jiang Cheng understood that his guess just now was indeed correct.
This was a woman who said one thing but meant another... After hanging up the phone past ten o'clock, the two didn't return to bed until nearly twelve o'clock.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue no longer had any of the initiative she had just now.
She was now directly slumped on the bed from exhaustion, her legs weak, and her eyes staring at Jiang Cheng resentfully.
On the contrary, Jiang Cheng, who was beside her, looked full of energy.
Lin Qingxue rubbed her two aching and slightly trembling legs with some indignation, looking at Jiang Cheng curiously: "Aren't you tired??"
"Do I look tired to you?" After giving Lin Qingxue's pert buttocks a firm squeeze, Jiang Cheng walked to the wardrobe to pick out some clothes.
"That's not right. How come I heard that it's at most two or three times? Why are you different? It's like you can never be drained dry?" Lin Qingxue mumbled with a pout.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Qingxue with interest and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"
Lin Qingxue seemed to be afraid that Jiang Cheng would misunderstand, so she immediately took out her phone's search engine and showed it to Jiang Cheng: "Look, from now on, I'll never believe what's said online again. I thought I could drain you dry; it seems I was too naive. Look for yourself, and there's this—on Xiaohongshu, it says their husbands all 'work one day and rest for three'?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but suppress a smile upon hearing this. A "work one and rest three" kind of thing would never happen to him again.
