Chapter 1125: Chapter 962 Consequences Are Serious_2
...
After bustling around in the hospital for half a day, the doctor finally told everyone that Xiaoxiao’s injuries were not serious, just some superficial wounds, and she would recover with a bit more rest.
Only then did everyone feel relieved, and after comforting Liu Xiaoxiao with a few words, they all went home.
Wang Ye, of course, had driven there with his parents and planned to head back.
On the way home, his parents were full of emotion and were very dissatisfied with what had happened that day.
"We used to hear about how chaotic the big cities in the south were, with things like motorcycle gangs and the like. I never thought our area would start to get messy too!" Mom said indignantly.
Dad felt helpless and commented,
"These are probably youngsters coming back from the south. They don’t want to take the legitimate path and work hard to make money; they think earning money that way is too slow, so they turn to crooked ways.
In my opinion, we need another crackdown!
Round up all those idlers who loiter on the streets all day! Even if they haven’t done anything bad, educate them properly and warn them not to follow the wrong path.
As for those who swindle, deceive, and rob, lock ’em up for a few years and then see!"
As he said this, Mom nodded vigorously in agreement, saying,
"Exactly, exactly. These young people nowadays don’t want to suffer at all, only thinking about taking shortcuts to make big money.
Think about our younger days; didn’t we all work in the production teams for work-points? Back then, no one complained about hardship or tiredness, life was tough, but everyone was happy.
Now living conditions have improved, but people are becoming more and more dissatisfied, all dreaming of becoming millionaires and tycoons!
They don’t even take a good look in the mirror to see if they’ve got what it takes!
One by one, they drop out of junior high, go to southern cities to work in factories for a few years, and once they’re back, they can’t even speak the hometown dialect anymore; they just speak Mandarin.
But your Mandarin isn’t even standard; it’s so awkward to listen to.
..."
Mom basically did all the talking after that; Wang Ye and Dad couldn’t get a word in edgewise...
Although he found his mother a bit long-winded, Wang Ye agreed with some of what she said.
Reform and Opening Up was certainly a good thing; it boosted the country’s economy and improved the living standards of most ordinary people.
But it cannot be denied that it brought a number of drawbacks.
The most obvious was the shift in thinking among the majority, heading toward a ’money-oriented’ approach.
People began to grow restless and even resorted to unscrupulous means to make money!
It should be said that since the late eighties, the social security in many places had deteriorated, with a continuous emergence of heinous incidents.
Later, the country also made a determined effort, launching several nationwide crackdowns, which did improve the situation a little.
But it was not completely resolved.
In Wang Ye’s memory, it was after the 2008 Olympics that social security rapidly improved, and by the 2010s, it had become very good...
...
For the next two days, Wang Ye didn’t have much to do at home and spent his time remotely handling some public affairs through his computer and phone.
The rest of the time was spent accompanying his parents and talking about some of the interesting things he had experienced in Moscow.
In the past few years, Wang Ye had been through a lot, but much of it he couldn’t talk about for fear of worrying his parents.
Like the several dangerous situations he had been through, which Wang Ye completely omitted.
On the evening of the third day at home, as the family of three sat together for dinner, his father hesitated several times before finally speaking up,
"Xiaoye, you’ve been at home for a few days now, and your mother and I understand, with your status now, you must be very busy, and your time is precious.
Go attend to your work when you need to, don’t waste it staying at home.
Although you’re an official abroad, I assume the nature of the work is the same as it is here.
Since you’ve taken on that position, you need to be devoted and do your best!
Especially considering your identity is also..."
Dad didn’t know exactly how to describe it, but Wang Ye understood his meaning.
He smiled and replied,
"Uh-huh, I came back this time just to see you and Mom, and also to let you know about my real situation.
Now that everything is fine at home, I can rest assured.
..."
"Next, I’m going to take a trip down south. I have some Investments there, and I need to go check on them."
Mom asked concernedly,
"Are you driving there by yourself?
It’s quite a distance from here to the south, and it must be tiring to drive so far.
Plus, I’ve heard it’s not very safe on the roads. Wouldn’t it be better and safer to take the train?"
Dad nodded in agreement, "Yes, you might not be too familiar with domestic travel.
In our country, long-distance driving is not just tiring—it’s dangerous too!"
Wang Ye laughed, "No, I’m driving to the capital city of the province and then taking a private plane to the south."
Mom and Dad didn’t react at first, and asked subconsciously, "What plane?"
"A private plane, the one I bought for myself. It’s only for my use, very convenient," Wang Ye explained.
This was beyond Mom and Dad’s comprehension. They looked at each other, not sure what to say next.
They rarely flew on commercial flights; Dad maybe a few times, but Mom seemed to have never flown before...
Don’t find it unbelievable. Remember, it was only 2005, and for someone living and working in a small county town in the mainland, even traveling to another province might have been unheard of.
How would they have had the chance to fly!
Wang Ye also took his first-ever flight when he went to Moscow before leaving the country!
And before that, he hadn’t even been on a train...
Oh, nor a ferry.
After a while, Dad feigned calmness and nodded, "That’s good, that’s good. It’s very safe that way!"
He couldn’t help his curiosity and still asked, "A Large aircraft just for you? Isn’t that a waste? I remember when I flew, there were a few hundred people on board."
Clearly, in his understanding, private planes were no different from civil aviation planes, with the only difference being that civil aviation planes carried hundreds of passengers, while private planes were for sole passengers.
But it would be rather boring to sit in such a large space alone...
Wang Ye patiently explained, "It’s different. A private plane is much smaller than a regular civil aviation plane, seating only about a dozen people.
Of course, the interior is also different from regular civil aviation planes. It has spaces like sleeping quarters and a reception area, making it much more comfortable than regular planes."
Even though they couldn’t quite picture what it was like, they got the general idea and both nodded their heads.
Thinking about their son’s status now, having a private plane seemed quite normal, and maybe in the future, there might even be something like ’XX No. 1’!
Of course, that was something they thought to themselves, not daring to say it out loud...
......
"By the way, Dad, with the money your company makes, feel free to spend it however you want.
Whether you want to expand the factory scale or increase benefits and welfare for the Workers, or even use it for philanthropy, charity, or Donations, it’s all up to you.
No need to save it anymore; I don’t lack money."
Wang Ye thought of something else and said it with a smile to his father.
The factory owned by Dad was still quite profitable. From what Mom indicated, they had tens of millions in savings!
However, the daily lives of the old couple hadn’t changed much compared to before.
They still lived in this little building, and even the household furniture and appliances hadn’t been replaced, including the ’familiar’ old refrigerator that had been used for over a decade and was still in use.
Wang Ye guessed that Mom and Dad were saving for him, leaving a ’backup plan’.
But it was completely unnecessary now...
If his businesses had no problems, then they definitely didn’t need to use any money from home.
If his businesses really did run into trouble, then the money at home wouldn’t be much help either...
Dad understood Wang Ye’s point and nodded emphatically,
"I’ll take care of it. I’ll invest in a couple of projects later. The Economic development here is far too backward, and there are no decent jobs, which is why the young people have to go out and find work.
If there were more factories, and they could work and earn money right at their doorstep, who would want to leave their hometown?
As for our home life, I think it’s quite good already.
Your mother and I don’t worry about food or clothing, and there’s no need to deliberately be extravagant and wasteful..."
