Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 583 - 254: The Provocation of a Man

After lunch, Gu wanted to take a nap, and Su Huai said goodbye obediently, only to find Wang eagerly offering to escort him out.

"Are you really trying to see me off?"

"I can’t be bothered to expose you!"

Under Cheng LiHua’s displeased gaze, Su Huai took the old man downstairs, heading straight for the office building.

Wang Yuqing strolled with his hands behind his back, comforting himself, "I am not here to see that junky car of yours, I just want to catch up with an old friend..."

"Ah, right, right, right!"

Su Huai nodded vigorously, "What’s there to see in a car? If we’re going to look, we should watch Uncle Gu’s expression when he returns~~~"

Wang Yuqing suddenly found the kid more likable, smart!

Once they arrived, Professor Wang only glanced at the car’s body and remained quite calm.

Don’t mistake Wang for any common official; he is someone who has seen the grandest of scenes.

"This crappy car is worth a billion?"

Su Huai answered earnestly, "It’s mainly the various taxes that are expensive, not so much the industrial value itself. Our family could make this thing too, just that there’s no need to keep going down the fuel car path."

Gou Huai truly was an expert at flattering, and his comment made Wang burst into smiles.

"Having this awareness is good, quite imposing. What I detest most are the countrymen who idolize foreigners. Gu Tongshu is particularly annoying in this aspect!"

Su Huai’s mind stirred, and he feigned curiosity, "I never noticed anything wrong with Uncle Gu’s stance. Has he changed his nationality?"

"He hasn’t changed his nationality."

Wang Yuqing shook his head and rambled about the past.

"However, when he was young, he greatly admired the West, always telling me about ’impartial freedom’ and the need to learn from America and such nonsense. If it weren’t for Yizhi’s utter loyalty to him, I would have kicked him out of the house long ago. How could I tolerate his nonsensical rants in front of me? Complete nonsense!"

Su Huai continued to draw him out, "Wow, Uncle Gu had such a history? How did he change his mind then?"

"He’s not a fool. Can’t he see where it’s easier to make money?"

The tone of Wang Yuqing wasn’t great; obviously, there was always a thorn in his heart.

"People like Gu Tongshu, even their patriotism is extremely utilitarian and pragmatic. They’ll act in whatever way benefits their development the most. Typical fair-weather patriots! Don’t follow in his steps. Maintain a certain idealism, keep a sense of faith. It’s okay to earn less money, but your heart must not go crooked!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Educated, but Su Huai was in a good mood.

Wang’s generation had educational tyrants and corrupt officials as well as scoundrels, but most of them were staunch warriors, incredibly idealistic, incredibly romantic.

Su Huai was not that kind of person, yet he admired them greatly.

Because Su Huai had personally experienced that critically important decade, watching Greater China turn the world upside down, building a new world order, and then looking back at the history of the years, he finally understood how many idealists had been working quietly for the rise of the nation.

Su Huai himself lived in a rotten work environment, but that was the industry’s fault, all the resulting focus on money caused by over-entertainment. In reality, there were plenty of spirited battle lines and idealistic peers of his age everywhere.

A bunch of bloggers and streamers can’t represent the whole new generation.

So after hearing Wang’s speech, Su Huai felt quite ashamed and honestly admitted, "Actually, I am also a realistic patriot. People’s values constantly grow and change, so there’s no need to be too harsh on Uncle Gu..."

"You’re different."

Wang looked very pleased and confidently asserted Su Huai,

"Your thinking reflects an innate national confidence that genuine utilitarian patriots would never consider issues like you do. When I was teaching, more than half of my students who went abroad never came back. I know them well. You have conviction!"

Su Huai couldn’t help but be torn between laughter and tears.

Why don’t you believe me when I’m telling the truth?

But it’s true, his current mindset was shaped by the facts—a new nationalism that holds Greater China supreme, far different from his younger days of narrow-minded anger. The change was substantial.

The new generation finds it hard not to be confident; initially blindly confident, becoming more rational after seeing more of the world, and at one point certain events spurred the creation of many fiercely confident individuals...

In any case, the times have changed. Su Huai could never experience the developmental journey of Gu Tongshu, but he could understand it to a large extent.

But that didn’t stop him from continuing to set up traps for Gu.

"I dare not claim to have conviction, but I do admire the perseverance of your generation, having endured all the hardships for the sake of your grandchildren. Uncle Gu managed to grow his business so large; indeed, he should be thankful for the sacrifices of your generation. My peaceful and joyful life now also owes it to that gratitude.

So don’t mind me sometimes giving you a hard time; it’s out of closeness. When I clash with Uncle Gu, that’s when things really get rough!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuqing was incredibly happy and gave a hearty slap on his thigh.

"Right! That young wolf cub lacks exactly that—gratitude! He acts as if everything is the result of his effort, as if he deserves it all, nonsense! How can personal struggle ever trump the waves of the era?

Pretentious! Clueless!

In the future, don’t be like him. Take the opportunity to give him a hard time whenever you can. I will definitely stand by you!"

So, the truth finally comes out, huh?

Su Huai barely held back his laughter and nodded solemnly.

"Rest assured, Uncle Gu and I don’t mesh well, we definitely can’t pee in the same pot!"

Wang Yuqing was extremely satisfied, suddenly finding Su Huai ten times more pleasant to the eye, feeling that the kid had his own youthful vigor and brashness.
