Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 37 Funding [Starting today, both images will be updated at 0:]

"Especially one of them. I want that child to go to school in the city and receive a better education..." Li Xu said seriously.

When he heard these words, the first thought that popped into Li Yuqian's mind was...it must be a child from the countryside who touched the softest part of Li Xu's heart.

This is logically self-consistent.

After all, Li Xu has changed so much in just a few months in the countryside. He must have had some soul-stirring experiences... This experience may just be the pitiful experience of a certain child.

It is not a bad thing to be grateful and compassionate.

As a father, I should support him.

But this matter is far from that simple, because Li Xu mentioned that he wanted to bring the child to the city to study, which is a bit... irrational.

Li Xu's mentality can be attributed to a compassionate mentality. His starting point is naturally kind, but when he actually does this, he still has to consider the specific situation... As a child, what he thinks in his heart is that since he wants to do charity, he should do his best.

But again, although this starting point is good, it is not very rational... First of all, the most realistic question is, can children in the countryside keep up with the best education in the city?

Secondly, the family conditions are so poor after all. Suddenly I end up in such an environment, which makes me feel inferior. How can I solve these problems?

However, Li Yuqian did not immediately deny Li Xu. Instead, he considered it for a moment and said, "Tell me about it in detail."

Feeling his father's gaze, and his cousin Ye Ling also looking at him with a strange look, Li Xu pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke.

"That kid is a genius."

"Genius should not be buried in that kind of environment."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yuqian's eyes. He had deduced many possible words that Li Xu would use to persuade him, such as how poor the child's family conditions were and how hard-working and motivated he was, or starting with their relationship... He had never expected that it would be this reason.

Li Xu continued, "Of course. He's a genius. That's why I wanted to bring him to the city. Um... I was in the same class with his sister, and we met through her. They're both very kind and honest. His sister is a bit silly, always thinking of others and not very aggressive. She's the type of girl who gets bullied easily. She's my only... friend there, I guess!"

"That kid is really talented in math. By the time he's in fourth grade, he can easily solve problems for a junior high school math competition. Well... at least he's much better than me."

"If there were no other variables, the siblings might have continued their studies normally. The older sister would have finished junior high school and then gotten into the county high school with a relatively good score. She might have successfully completed high school and gotten into a university, changing her fate... But she might have dropped out in her second or third year to work... After all, compulsory education is only nine years."

"As for my younger brother, he's very talented, but unfortunately, he's always been stuck in a small town, unable to come into contact with many cutting-edge things. His horizons are limited to his teachers'. If everything goes well, he might be able to finish high school and, relying on his talent, get into a 211 or 985 university, but that's probably the limit of his life..."

"But I think the ceiling of their lives shouldn't stop here."

Li Xu thought of Xia Xiaomiao's eyes glowing when she was doing math problems, shook his head and said, "I'm not being impulsive and suddenly feeling kind-hearted. I want to be a saint, like adopting a pitiful puppy on the roadside. No, I think it's meaningful to do this... If the siblings have no talent for learning and have a good relationship with me, I might provide them with a sum of money so that they can finish high school smoothly, but they... especially the younger brother, can obviously have a higher ceiling..." After Li Xu finished speaking, several people at the scene were a little surprised. Ye Lin looked at Li Xu in surprise, and then looked at Li Yuqian. Li Yuqian fell silent for a while. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Did you come up with these things yourself?"

Li Xu nodded.

Li Yuqian leaned back in his chair in silence for a long time. He picked up the red wine on the table, shook it twice, and then drank it all in one gulp. He put down the glass, leaned forward, and looked at Li Xu with a sharp gaze: "There are a few problems. How do you plan to solve them? First, can you convince them? Secondly, can you convince their parents? If you can solve these two problems, I can help you arrange the rest, but it's not without conditions."

Li Xu was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "What are the conditions?"

Li Yuqian leaned back again, his expression becoming serious as he said, "We need to support those two children... two, right?"

Li Xu thought about it and nodded: "Yeah."

"If you want to sponsor them, you have to have their guardians sign an agreement... After graduation, they will work for my company for a period of time. You can decide the duration."

Li Xu hesitated for a moment, but Ye Ling on the other side couldn't help but speak: "Cousin, you don't need this little money, do you?"

Li Yuqian glanced at Ye Ling and explained patiently: "Do you think I am interested in this return on investment? On the one hand, this is to protect the self-esteem of those two children, on the other hand..." He looked at Li Xu meaningfully.

He already had the idea of training this child to be his successor. As a qualified successor, he first needed to be the leader of a team. If he could slowly come to his senses in the future, he would gradually realize that the two children might be able to become team members he trusted... Of course, it didn't matter if the two children didn't meet those conditions.

The randomly scattered threads may become foreshadowings that last for thousands of miles in the future.

Li Xu probably understood the intention of his father's arrangement. Since he had already got his father's support for this matter, after returning to the countryside, he would persuade the siblings and their parents... He had not had much contact with their parents so far, and he didn't know whether this matter would be easy to handle.

Then Li Xu said that it is not so easy to interfere in other people's lives... Just do your best in this matter. If it really fails to materialize due to one reason or another, then we can only say that everyone has their own destiny.

I have a clear conscience.

After New Year's Day, Li Yuqian arranged for Lao Liu to send Li Xu and Ye Ling back to Xieyang Township.

With things having developed to this point, the three-month promise naturally became invalid. As long as Li Xu resolved the issues with Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao, he could go back at any time.

It was already winter, and the climate in Xieyang Township was much worse than that in Jinchuan City.

The car slowly drove into the country road. Outside the car window, the soil in the fields seemed to be squeezed tightly by the cold night, frozen stiff and cracked. The wheels rolled over it, making a "clattering" sound, and the car body also bumped slightly.

Even in such weather, there are still people working in the fields.
