I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Instinctive Pleasing_1

"It’s great to be able to put it directly into the backpack, just no internet."

"There is!"

Shen Dong quickly hugged his computer and walked towards the desk.

His nervousness was not deliberate but almost instinctively ingratiating.

Chen Yuyan saw it and smiled as if she had tasted honey, having long forgotten some matters, "Ah, why don’t you come over to my place to set it up? It’d be a good chance to help my parents with cooking."

"Sure, Zhou Wenbin!" Shen Dong shouted as he opened the door.

Two heads banged in.

Zhou Wenbin, with a face of feigned ignorance, "What’s up, Brother Shen?"

"Drive there." Shen Dong gave him a glare.

Turning around, he saw Kang Yue about to sneak away and caught her in an instant, "You’re coming with me."

The more one tries to avoid, the more unclear and suspicious it seems.

Of course, Shen Dong had to clarify as he saw Chen Yuyan’s little face twisted up; he hurriedly explained, "She has something to discuss with your dad, about the tea plantation project."

"I see." Chen Yuyan looked Kang Yue up and down, coughed twice, shouldered her backpack, and walked out the door, "Then it’s settled, she can join us for a meal."

Watching the girl’s proud departure, Kang Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She pointed at Chen Yuyan and whispered to Shen Dong with a wink, "Is the madam starting to assert her authority already?"

"Shh!" Shen Dong glared with a warning.

Kang Yue pouted, walking with hands behind her, murmuring in ballet steps, "I guess, tonight you’ll bid farewell to celibacy..."

"The more you talk, the more nonsense it becomes." Shen Dong pretended to be displeased, his heart thumping wildly.

His mind in disarray, he quickly hit himself on the head and stole a glance at Chen Yuyan, suddenly feeling abashed, "Hey, is it true what they say about girls maturing early?"

Kang Yue’s heart was in a tangle, yet she could only smile, "Nevermind that; catch up to her, hold her hand, any later and she’ll get angry."

Women understand women.

Chen Yuyan appeared to brush off Shen Dong, walking ahead, yet she hoped that he would catch up.

And just like that, as soon as Shen Dong took her hand, Chen Yuyan immediately beamed with a smile, but then she pouted again, "What were you whispering about with her back there, afraid I would hear?"

"We’re going to your place, she’ll speak to your dad about the project, and you’ll understand," Shen Dong definitely wasn’t in the mood to make matters worse, pulling Chen Yuyan along as they got into Zhou Wenbin’s car.

Life is full of coincidences that make up a story.

Just a few days ago, Shen Dong had instructed Chen Jinshui to win over Shi Lin’s stepmother.

Chen Jinshui lived up to expectations and succeeded. He had come to report to Zhou Wenbin and just happened to witness this scene.

Better to offend a nobleman than a villain.

Chen Jinshui was a true villain; seeing Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan holding hands, his first thought was to secure a way out for himself.

A king is often heartless, sometimes out of concern for not dragging others down."

Shen Dong was not yet aware of this, his heart having already flown... not to Chen Yuyan’s bed, but to Chen Yuyan’s home.

"Here we are, come on, sit down."

"The leader says, with everyone going into business, who’s going to farm the land? If no one farms, where does the food come from? Without food, what will people eat?"

"Let the tea plantation just stick to growing tea and the breeding farm focus on raising livestock."

"The 80/20 rule isn’t just an economic principle, it’s also a social norm. If it were reversed, and eighty percent of the world’s population were wealthy, without the need to work or labor, what do you think the world would be like?"

Shen Dong wanted to argue, but couldn’t find any reason to attack the statement. He glanced unintentionally at Kang Yue and frowned, asking, "Is that the case?"

"Of course, it is," Kang Yue seemed to understand this principle very well.

Eighty percent wealthy—what would the world be like?

Shen Dong remained silent, thoughtfully twirling his wine glass, deeply contemplating the question.

Whether wealthy people need to work or not, Shen Dong wasn’t sure, but certainly, they wouldn’t go to factories or work at the grassroots level, and undoubtedly, farm crops would also be left unattended.

Under such circumstances, all positions in society would be short-staffed, problems would arise in production, public safety, and so on; the number of people working the fields would decrease, food scarcity would set in, labor shortages would occur, and the output of consumer goods would decline.

Demand outstripping supply, would cause prices to soar, leading to inflation...

Capital would begin to shift towards the few poor people.

Once poor people had money and lived comfortably, the labor population would decrease again, life became too comfortable, stress-free... Societal development would lose its driving force, and technological progress would halt.

When capital became indistinguishable among the people, money would become worthless.

Society would collapse.

Shen Dong, profoundly alarmed, no longer cared what Kang Yue and the accountant were discussing. He interrupted, saying, "What else did the leader say?"

"Just wait a moment," the accountant waved Kang Yue off and turned to Shen Dong, "He said that Hai City’s business ecosystem is excellent, one link tightly interlocked with the next.

This model must be continued, but it should be adapted to local conditions. Do what needs to be done; if a mouse starts doing a cat’s job, the world will be thrown into chaos."

To Shen Dong, these words seemed to be meant for himself, a mouse doing a cat’s job.

Who is the mouse referring to?

Driven by an overwhelming curiosity, Shen Dong pressed on, "Which leader gave the instruction? Was it Yan Heping?"

"No, it wasn’t him. He guessed you would ask and told me to give this to you." The accountant acted as if he had developed a knack, even delivering imperial edicts on behalf of the emperor.

The ’imperial edict’ was a pen, a Hero fountain pen costing over two hundred yuan, its sapphire blue surface inscribed with elegant, regular script calligraphy, "Takeism."

Takeism, an essay by Mr. Lu Xun.

Shen Dong didn’t understand why these four words appeared, but as he turned the pen over, he said, "What does it mean?"

"I don’t know," the accountant smiled triumphantly with a hint of mystery, pointing at the pen, "All I can tell you is, at critical moments, this pen can be like a command baton!"

"You are the most annoying, either say it all or don’t. Half-told, half-hidden, isn’t it exhausting!" Shen Dong was genuinely frustrated, almost ready to coerce or tempt the accountant to tell more.

Takeism, something Shen Dong had studied in his previous life at school. It seemed to oppose the blind ’giving’ and ’receiving’, advocating for a ’mutual gifting’, to give and also to take.

It was about cultural exchange and foreign affairs, right?

Never had Shen Dong pondered so intensely over someone’s words, but now, it seemed as though he had grasped something crucial.

Shen Dong recalled a celebrity couple that sponsored a high school student for four years, only to face extortion and public exposure from the student in the end.

He could give the people of Shishan Village new apartment homes all at once, and even a little savings for each family wouldn’t be a problem, but after they got the money and houses, would they still strive for their livelihood?

Perhaps, this was the sin of only ’giving’.

It was about destroying some people.

The former reckless behavior in Yutian was a hidden danger of ’giving’, and the universal comfort in Shishan Village was also a ’hidden danger’. Unearned or disproportionally earned wealth could breed greed.

"It seems the street food project wasn’t a mistake," Shen Dong suddenly saw the light and muttered to himself before looking at the accountant.

The accountant was discussing the creation of a ’tea brand’ with Kang Yue. His thoughts were clear and methodical, "I’m considering building a factory in the tea estate, solely to produce tea gift sets. You’ll handle the sales, we’ll take care of the production.
