Chapter 882 My Dad Will Always Be My Dad
The little guy is growing up day by day. Probably because he's spoiled, he's a little willful and has recently started to be picky about food, throwing tantrums at the drop of a hat.
There's no point in getting angry with a kid who doesn't remember anything, so Su Yehao just lectured Nong Qingying and told her not to indulge their son in everything. He wants to hire a stricter tutor to start teaching him some manners.
Nong Qingying also finds the little guy a bit of a headache. After all, it's her first time being a mom, and she doesn't have much experience.
She usually leaves her son to the nannies, and they wouldn't dare give the young master a hard time. This has led to the little guy getting almost everything he wants, which has indeed fostered some bad habits.
At two and a half years old, he's about old enough to start being educated.
The so-called happy education is likely to raise a spoiled brat, so Nong Qingying also agrees with finding a stricter teacher and decides to send someone to look for experienced candidates soon.
Su Yehao still remembers being beaten with a feather duster by his old man when he was over ten years old. Looking at his own son playing with toys, he couldn't help but grin with schadenfreude.
Their family environment is a bit special.
Although they will use a trust to manage assets in the future, and the plan to cultivate a successor must also be put on the agenda, it's difficult to completely trust outsiders.
They don't need to be particularly capable, but they must at least understand business and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
When the daughter he had with Yin Liuli is a little older, he will also try to guide her in this direction, so that they can jointly supervise the operation of the family trust fund in the future.
At lunchtime.
Nong Qingying, who already knew that Nangong Tian was also pregnant, suddenly asked, "What if—I mean, what if—our son becomes arrogant, domineering, and incompetent in the future? What should we do?"
"Beat him to death, of course! Based on my experience, pocket money must be controlled. When he's a little older, it's best to get him out of his comfort zone and send him to study somewhere else for a few years."
After eating a fish ball, Su Yehao continued, "In my opinion, the education in the mainland is quite good. When the time comes, we'll make arrangements with the school to treat him the same as other students. You have to be strict; spare the rod and spoil the child."
Nong Qingying snorted softly and retorted,
"You're so capable, why don't you do it? Don't try to put all the blame on me. I feel like with my personality, I'm not the kind of mom who would spoil her child. I don't plan to have any more children in the future either. It's too noisy to have too many kids in the house. Just thinking about it is scary. I definitely can't stand it. I'll be thankful if I can educate this one well. Anyway, you have no shortage of people to help you have kids..."
That sounded a little strange, but it made a lot of sense.
On average, each girl has one child, so there will be four offspring in the future. If Yin Liuli and Nangong Tian have a second child, there will be five or six.
Therefore, Su Yehao lets Nong Qingying do whatever she wants; it's her decision.
Influenced by traditional Hong Kong ideas, many women who marry into wealthy families, or haven't married yet, can have three children in a row within four years, whether for the sake of gaining status through their children or for other reasons. Even thinking about that kind of efficiency is terrifying.
Just like Nong Qingying said, Su Yehao doesn't think he's the kind of good father who would put all his heart into his children.
This is probably because his own life is already wonderful enough, and he's not crazy enough to pin his hopes or dreams on his children.
So his attitude towards the little ones is more like fulfilling a responsibility, adding icing to the cake of life.
Since he didn't have much expectation from the start, naturally there won't be any disappointment.
Even if he really raises one or two good-for-nothing descendants in the future, it seems acceptable as long as they don't do evil and live comfortably.
As for expecting them to take the family business to the next level... even Su Yehao himself thinks it's unlikely.
When they grow up, they'll probably understand the principle that "my dad will always be my dad."
As of now.
Even if Su Yehao does nothing, his assets will gradually expand to a terrifying number.
With personal wealth comparable to one of the top ten economies, it doesn't seem too difficult.
Honestly, using the Three Gorges Dam and the Gezhouba Dam as piggy banks, Su Yehao feels like he could "fill them up" in just a few years. Besides investing in the Baihetan Hydropower Station, maybe he could invest in the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway.
Outsiders have been hotly discussing Emperor Crab Island recently.
Only Su Yehao himself knows that if this project is successful and he gains some experience, investing in a few more wouldn't be much of a pressure. They're just golden pig piggy banks for storing profits, a small drizzle...
The other projects he's invested in all have extremely high growth potential.
Except for ATV.
With such a small population in Hong Kong, and the market being divided by so many TV stations, unless ATV branches out and does some other new projects, even Su Yehao can't help it take off.
He mainly acquired it before to increase his influence, promote the landing of Cyberport, and incidentally find something for Jiang Yu and the others to do.
But now, with Su Yehao's own influence, he no longer needs to use this TV station to make his voice heard. The Internet has already become popular in Hong Kong, and there are new media like newsmicroblog and Google News.
However, he still doesn't plan to throw away ATV. Instead, he wants to use it to acquire a bunch of messy small newspapers, clean up the garbage for future harmony and stability, and also make a contribution along the way.
Around six o'clock in the evening.
When Su Yehao appeared at the entrance of ATV with Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu, it immediately attracted countless media photos.
The members of the Heavenly King group who were walking the red carpet smiled awkwardly. As pop idols, they were outshone by their own bosses, and they had no place to cry.
Of course, Su Yehao didn't walk the red carpet. He smiled and entered ATV's newly renovated headquarters building.
Wearing an evening gown, Nangong Tian said nervously at this moment, "Oh no, I shouldn't have eaten dinner. Will I look very fat?"
"...You're so tall, and you only weigh ninety-something pounds. You still have abs. How could anyone tell you're pregnant?" Su Yehao was afraid she would fall, so he kept Nangong Tian holding his arm.
"That's true. I haven't had an appetite for many days in a row, so I might have even lost a little weight."
Next to her.
Jiang Yu was dressed exquisitely tonight. She often comes into contact with all kinds of celebrities at work, so she was particularly calm at this time. Of course, she also knew that Nangong Tian was already pregnant.
Unlike two or three years ago.
She wasn't as resistant to having a baby recently. She could only say that she was almost at the right age, and her life was very stable, so she was considering putting in some effort and letting the two children grow up together.
Jiang Yu has always been very good at taking care of other people's emotions. It's precisely because they have a good relationship that she needs to be more careful to take care of each other's emotions. She saw that Nangong Tian's excitement hadn't worn off yet, so she didn't mention this for the time being, and quietly started taking vitamin pills, doing some preparatory work in advance.
If they're only a few months apart, they can indeed take care of them together. She still needs to get in touch with Nong Qingying's son in advance, so that they won't be too unfamiliar in the future.
While they're still starting to remember things, she'll let the little guy know that he has brothers and sisters, which will make it easier to adapt...
