Chapter 709: Time Flies (1)
He was intelligent and capable. He had always done well, even in an environment like that. He had always been at the forefront of progress.
But the situation here was completely different!
Everything here was foreign to him. He had lost control. He… was not so arrogant anymore!
Now, the people he knew were all from the university. Most of the people there were more knowledgeable than he was. His older cousins… all had their own careers!
Gu Qingyao looked at him. “Fourth Brother, you are not at all inferior to them. You are a product of your circumstances. If they had grown up in the same environment as you did, they might not have done as well as you have!”
The older cousins were supported by the entire Qiao family. As long as they worked hard, there was plenty of room to display their talents.
But it was different for Fourth Cousin. In China’s circumstances, the existence of the Gu family was a burden to him. The only thing he had obtained was the guidance of the older members of the Gu Family.
Gu Jinfeng glanced at her and smiled!
Gu Qingyao said, “I’m serious. You’re as intelligent as they are. Now that you have the same resources and an opportunity to learn, I believe you will quickly adjust.”
Gu Qingyao paused and asked suddenly, “Fourth Cousin, what… what are your plans? It’s true that the older cousins all have their own businesses. If you want to start one, I believe you will be as successful as they are. Do you want to do that?”
Gu Jinfeng shook his head. “Now is not the time!”
Gu Qingyao’s eyes lit up!
He continued, “I was educated differently from them, and I am too inexperienced. At the moment, it seems that I am far behind them. That is precisely the reason why I must find a way to make up for what I lack.
“Now… I need to spend more time learning. I will only start when I truly have the ability to do so.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. She knew that her older cousin was not the kind to be eager for quick success.
She drew closer and grabbed Gu Jinfeng’s arm. She smiled widely. “Older Cousin, I knew it. You’re the most intelligent and capable!”
Gu Jinfeng glanced at her and shook his head with a smile. “I’m the most capable? I think you are more capable than me!”
Gu Qingyao said with a smile, “Me? Fourth Cousin, right now learning is your priority. You’re still young! If you want to start your own business, you must be prepared. If you want to be better than everyone else, then naturally, you must have more foresight than them. If you want to have a deeper and more accurate perception of this world, then you need to learn, broaden your horizons, and train your mind.
“If you don’t think things through but start your own business now because the other cousins all have their own careers, then you will probably end up in a tangle you will not be able to extricate yourself from. If you run into problems, you won’t know how to solve them.
“Instead of that, why not focus on your studies for a few years and then start when you are ready!”
As long as he had the ability, there would be plenty of opportunities. Especially in China. The next couple of decades would be a period of great growth. Opportunities would spring up everywhere. Fourth Brother need not act hastily now!
Gu Jinfeng turned to look at her. “Do you also think that I should not do anything?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Not that you should not do anything, but that you should not deal in unfamiliar areas where you have no assurance of success. Although business sometimes depends on opportunities, ultimately, it is the truly talented who become so great and powerful that they can survive in any storm.”
