I thought that the condition that Mr. Jia wanted to raise must be about Aunt Mei.

But I didn't expect that Mr. Jia pondered for a moment and said, "The conditions are very simple. In the recent period, or even in the future, I hope you can accompany Yu Ling for more."

I was stunned, but I didn't expect him to propose such a condition.

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

Mr. Jia sighed and said, "You know the reason. I went to see the old man a few days ago and talked to the doctor. The old man's physical condition is probably what happened these days. For Yu Ling, her... dad just disappeared last year, and now he has no grandpa. I'm worried that she can't bear it."

I was a little surprised, "That's the condition?"

"Yes." Mr. Jia said, "Yu Ling, a child, has always been introverted and doesn't like to make friends. He has introduced many friends to her before, but she doesn't catch a cold. She seems to be able to talk to you. This child is very kind and doesn't tell you easily. I have no way to do it with her. I'm afraid that if her grandfather leaves, she won't be able to withstand her mentally. So, Qin Zheng, I can only ask you."

After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Mr. Jia is really good to Yu Ling, and his dear daughter is just like this, right?

Although Yu Ling has always been that kind of attitude towards him, Mr. Jia never hated Yu Ling for this. On the contrary, he kept caring about her in secret.

Of course, I know that even if Yu Ling knows, she will definitely not appreciate it. From her perspective, the better Mr. Jia treats her, in her opinion, it can only be because the more Mr. Jia owes her father and the more uneasy he is in his conscience, the more he will be kind to her.

Therefore, although Mr. Jia has been doing his best to be good to Yu Ling and trying to reconcile with her, to a certain extent, this is actually a dead knot and a backlash. The better he treats her, the greater the backlash he gets.

I smiled, "Mr. Jia, I don't think you can get anything back when you have paid such a big price for Yu Ling."

A bitter smile flashed across the corner of Mr. Jia's mouth. He took a deep breath of cigarettes and said, "It doesn't matter, the debt you owe will have to be paid back after all. How about it? This condition is not harsh for you, right? In fact, this is also a good opportunity for you. If you do it well, you will be different immediately."

I thought for a while and said, "No need, Mr. Jia."

Mr. Jia was stunned, "What do you mean? Are you going to reject me?"

I shook my head, "No, you misunderstood. Yu Ling is my good friend. At that time, if she really can't bear it mentally and without any conditions, I will take the initiative to help her. However, let's forget about the land in the Cultural Palace."

Mr. Jia smiled and said, "Qin Zheng, you misunderstood. I didn't offer this condition to let you take care of Yu Ling. Don't you understand, do I want to help you too?"

I also smiled and said, "Of course I understand this, otherwise, you don't have to spend such a big price on this matter, but these are two different things. The reason I reject you is because I am not very interested in being a developer for the time being, because I didn't want to do real estate at the beginning, so I came out of President Hua."

"Why?" asked Mr. Jia. "The real estate and advertising industry are different. How much profit does advertising have? If you cannot achieve a certain reputation, it will be difficult to break through after reaching a bottleneck. Real estate is different. Many of its things can be copied, so it will be simple to develop and expand. According to current policies, at least in the next fifteen years, our country's real estate market will not fluctuate. You can make a lot of money without having to reach a large scale."

I smiled and said, "You said just now that real estate and advertising are different things. I didn't want to do real estate anymore because I didn't like its profitability."

Mr. Jia smiled, "Do you think... the money earned in real estate is the hard-earned money of the people?"

I nodded, "That's about that. Of course, there are other reasons. For example, I don't like social engagements and competition methods in the real estate industry, but mainly I don't like its profitability."

Mr. Jia shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to say that. I admit that our housing prices are indeed a bit high now, but that is not caused by our real estate developers. Besides, for merchants, interests are always eternal. In the commodity market, there is no conscience. Houses are expensive now, but you can count them further. In every era, there will be such political commodities. Even most dynasties in history, salt and food are political commodities. They are all things that ordinary people eat and starve to death. But this has nothing to do with merchants, and this is not caused by merchants. For merchants, they are just making the greatest profit in a politically allowed environment and space. This is just their work and has nothing to do with conscience."

I smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, I understand what you said. If I don't do this project, there will naturally be others doing it. Just like, if you are the richest man who makes a fortune by real estate, if you don't do it, there will definitely be someone else to do it. You can't blame you. But I just don't want to do it, because I've been poor. I also know that the people have lost all their money to buy a house for generations, and they have worked for a house for several generations, so don't talk about happiness and life. I know even more that many young people around me can't afford to buy a house even if they lose all their money, which leads to the loss of love. I have seen too many such tragedies, so although I know that this has nothing to do with conscience, I don't want to be that person either."

Mr. Jia looked at me and looked a little surprised. After a while, he shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "To be honest, Qin Zheng, this is the first time I heard you say that. Don't say it, it really touched me a little."

"Actually, I'm not that noble." I said, "I just think that men need to have a career, but career does not necessarily mean how much money is. The amount of money cannot measure whether a person's career is successful. Compared with real estate, I prefer the advertising I am doing now. At least, it is a job that relies solely on ability, without too many additional things, and those additional things I don't want to do, and I'm not good at."

Mr. Jia looked at me, and there was a slight smile in his eyes. I couldn't tell whether it was a relief or a childish smile like Hua Guotian.

Of course, I don’t care about these things. What I am talking about is my inner thoughts.

"Now, there are not many people like you now." Mr. Jia said with a sigh, and then he added another sentence that made me a little ambiguous.

He said, "It seems that I should have been betting right."
