Chapter 1453: Chapter 1017: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 25 (Five Thousand)
Qi Qi looked at him with great relief: "You’re doing well. You’ve truly matured. Good job. Work hard, and as long as you’re earnest and diligent, you won’t lead a poor life in the future, right, Dad?"
Mr. Qi looked at Qi Yong with tears in his eyes: "Make sure to thank your sister properly. She’s sacrificed so much for our family over the years, bearing many grievances. For your child’s sake, she’s decided not to marry again in this lifetime. We’ve burdened her!"
Qi Qi frowned: "Dad, what are you saying? It’s not because of that. Why should I get married? Haven’t you seen the news these days? Men buying accidental death insurance for women and then causing accidents to kill them, pushing them off cliffs, dismembering them, burning them alive—aren’t there enough cases like that? Now your daughter here is a somewhat famous influencer with over fifty million followers and has started her own company. If I end up with someone who’s harboring ill intentions, I wouldn’t even know how I’d die in the future. So, not marrying is a matter of survival. Let’s not mention this topic anymore. It has nothing to do with my brother. Don’t overthink!"
Qi Yong thought about today’s news and couldn’t help but feel anxious.
"Sis, now that you mention it, you make a good point. You can never fully know someone. In the future, when you meet people, make sure to test them thoroughly!"
"I know. It’s not that I’m afraid you’re not trying hard; I’m afraid you’re being opportunistic. So, little Yong, your future must be walked step by step without shortcuts. As for finding a wife, there’s no rush. Take your time, keep your heart steady, and don’t get tricked by impulsive decisions. A woman like Chen Xinhao should serve as a lesson. Back then, Mom was opposed to it, but you seemed enamored."
As they chatted, Qi Yong’s eyes turned red, and she sighed.
"Alright then, I’m going up to wash up. You wake the kids up. This year, Chinese New Year’s Day, let’s go to the temple to pray for blessings."
On the morning of Chinese New Year’s Day, many people like to go to temples to pray. If it were just Qi Qi, she definitely wouldn’t feel like it. But now that the old man is here with her brother and the kids, it’s meaningful for the whole family to take a stroll at the temple and light incense for Mom.
Taking advantage of the holiday, she has time to take the old man around Beijing, playing the role of a tour guide for a few days.
At home, the car might be new energy, but it can still run five or six hundred miles, so no need to go far—just focus on Beijing’s major attractions.
Today, she talked a lot with Qi Yong: "After the new year, I’m handing the scholarship foundation over to you to manage. You don’t have as much experience as Yu Xin, so he remains the main person in charge. You’ll assist from the sidelines, learning and observing more. When you qualify, I won’t shortchange you."
Qi Yong hesitated: "Sis, should I still run around outside more?"
"That won’t affect your countryside trips. Yu Xin oversees the main matters; you manage those outside. Do what you love, and that’s the only thing required—work hard and steadily for me."
"As for me, I’ll graduate from my Master’s in half a year, then work in an office. I’ll need your help with many things in the future at work. If you have spare time, read more books and engage with others. At minimum, learn accounting so you can understand our reports. Every cent in the foundation must be put to proper use. Also, video editing, photography, and other skills should be learned so that you can handle emergencies independently. Don’t rely on others; you need to take charge yourself. Plus, you can’t swim; it’s dangerous, especially in the countryside during summer. Learn to swim, you can enroll, and also pick up some basic first aid knowledge..."
Like a nagging mother, Qi Qi tirelessly educated the driving Qi Yong, who wasn’t bothered and listened attentively.
Speaking of the three children, Qi Qi’s face lit up with a proud smile.
"Dad, little Yong, there’s one thing I haven’t told you. During the summer vacation, didn’t Qi Yang participate in the Beijing Children’s Swim Championships? Although he only got third place, he caught our city’s team coach’s eye. Dad should know. You take him swimming two to three times every week, which is pretty much training. Just before the New Year, their coach informed me that if he can pass the test after the New Year, he can officially join the city team."
Speaking of this, she turned directly to Qi Yang: "Are you interested in becoming a professional athlete in the future? I initially thought you’d develop in basketball, but it turns out your swimming talent is much better than your ball handling."
