"You're not being polite at all!"
Yu Huai smiled and didn't say anything about his younger brother at this moment.
In his eyes, if he wanted to develop, he couldn't do without others' help, and his own brother's help was something he deserved. After all, it was better than asking others. Moreover, if he were in that position and his brother helped him, it would be a win-win situation.
One party's all-around help to the other might make the other party a bit uncomfortable, but they were brothers, so what was there to say?
Therefore, even though Yu Zhou hadn't said anything yet, he didn't plan to express his thanks. If sworn brothers were so polite, how many people could he gather around him?
"You're so sure I'll help you without even asking?"
Yu Zhou was a bit speechless. This was the first time he had seen his older brother so shamelessly thick-skinned. Although this guy had been bullying him since childhood. But to still be bullying him now was a bit too disrespectful to his younger brother, wasn't it?
Well, Yu Zhou really wanted to confront his older brother right now, but then he thought he couldn't beat him, which was quite frustrating.
"What's the problem? If I really need your help, as long as it doesn't affect your business, a symbolic investment to go through the motions, is that difficult for you?"
"I'm your brother, am I going to make you do something beyond your abilities or harm your interests?"
"Invest if there's potential, and just go through the motions if there isn't. No matter what position I reach, development is ultimately up to me. You alone can't change the overall situation, nor can you do anything overtly difficult because of my affairs."
Yu Huai said this with great ease.
This was actually his true feeling. After all, in his eyes, his career might be the most important thing right now, but he could never harm his family's interests for his career.
Even if Yu Zhou wanted to do such a thing, he, as the elder brother, would absolutely not agree.
Therefore, whether Yu Zhou's involvement would be a mere formality or a significant investment would depend on the real potential of Hanshan County.
This was already a relatively prosperous county, and a small investment wouldn't affect the overall situation. As for a huge investment? Even if he spared no effort to drive it, in an environment without potential, others would understand. Thinking about it this way, it really wasn't a big deal.
Compared to his own situation, individual effort was the most important thing for Yu Huai. In that case, whether Yu Zhou went through the motions or made a large investment became irrelevant.
"You say that so easily. If I were to merely go through the motions, people might suspect that our brothers are at odds."
"At that time, it might even affect quite a few things."
Yu Zhou gave his older brother a white eye. The three siblings in their family, although they often bickered, had a genuinely good relationship. Yu Zhou didn't want others to misunderstand that he and his elder brother were not on good terms, especially since their interactions had always been very 'harmonious.'
"You don't need to worry about these things. Besides, whether we brothers are on good terms or not, we know it ourselves. We don't need to put on a show for others."
"And I don't like this way of doing things."
Yu Huai was being unusually serious. Even though he was already a significant leader, in his eyes, family was family, and career was career. He wouldn't harm his family for his career, nor would he ruin his promising career for his family if he needed to uphold principles. He was just that kind of person, someone whom Yu Zhou still admired even though he had achieved success.
For Yu Zhou, it didn't matter what position his older brother reached in the future, or if he truly became a great leader like money itself. He was his brother, and even if the whole world was disappointed in him, he was still the brother who would secretly think of helping him. In his past life, even when his family had completely cut him off and was utterly disappointed in him, they still cared for him, both openly and secretly. Yu Zhou could feel this. Similarly, in this life, he felt he should use his actions to live up to the efforts his family had made for him in his previous life.
Yu Huai was a person who didn't like to express his emotions, but he never slacked off when it came to doing what he should do. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Yu Zhou genuinely respected his older brother, even though he used to bully him and always made him take the blame when they were young.
"I'll go take a look then! Hanshan County actually has great development potential. If possible, I'd also like to inject some investment."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that Hanshan County offers sufficiently favorable terms! After all, I'm a businessman, aren't I?"
Yu Zhou smiled and didn't continue discussing this topic. It was a matter worth celebrating that his older brother had returned to Jiangbei early. Of course, his own career development direction also seemed extremely busy. It might not be easy to find time to support his older brother. But Yu Zhou would definitely do what he could, especially since he now owned an enterprise worth nearly thirty to forty million. Just this title alone was enough for Yu Zhou to receive good treatment in any county or district.
"When are you going to Hanshan County?"
Yu Zhou then asked some trivial questions. However, the conversation between the father and his two sons began to drift. By the time they had dinner, Yu Zhou still hadn't convinced his old man to fully showcase his talents at the Second Factory. Ultimately, he had been let down. His own father was becoming more and more of a slacker.
The next day, Yu Zhou didn't stay at home as he usually did on a Sunday. Instead, he went to Tailong Light Industry to discuss some matters with Song Qing. He wasn't just here for his wife's issue; a more important matter was to discuss the matter of his shareholding with Song Qing. The shares he could offer wouldn't be many, and Song Qing couldn't swallow them all at once. Under these circumstances, he had to try to persuade Song Qing to accept, and there were many details to discuss. As a result, Yu Zhou didn't have his usual smile on his face today.
"You looking so stern makes me a bit unaccustomed to it!"
As soon as Song Qing saw Yu Zhou's expression, she paused for a moment, then smiled brightly.
