Mo Beihan had already sent someone to clean the house. That day, Eldest Uncle's family also went over to prepare a meal and wait for Gu Yuncheng's family to arrive.
By the time Gu Yuncheng's family arrived, the food was ready.
The two brothers were very emotional because they had not seen each other for a long time. After the meal, Mo Beihan, Gu Jinye, Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng gathered in the study to discuss matters.
Gu Qingyao had left the country, and her older cousins were very sorry about it.
Their family had finally made it and had a bright future. A pity that Yao Yao left. If Yao Yao was here in the capital, she could live with Second Uncle and would not have to suffer outside.
Gu Jinfeng frowned. “When will Yao Yao be back? She's gone to such a faraway place by herself, what if someone bullies her there?”
Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinye looked at Mo Beihan.
This fellow was now the Mo family's eldest grandson. He probably had better sources of news than them.
Mo Beihan also sighed inwardly at the thought.
Although he felt that Gu Qingyao should not be in much danger overseas, he could not guarantee it either.
The girl only had a few more decades of life experience than others. The fact was she was alone and looking for her mother. He did not know what she would encounter.
“At least… three years or so! There are no opportunities in China. There is no future for her here. It was a rare opportunity. Leaving might not be a bad thing.”
The cousins exchanged looks. The men in the Gu family all had their own careers and businesses. The others were still young. Those in their parents' generation were also doing fairly well.
Except for Youngest Uncle. Their fathers had said that Youngest Uncle was actually the most intelligent of the brothers. But because he was the youngest, when it was his turn, his older brothers had already left, and he had no choice but to remain at home to take care of the old folks.
And their younger cousin, Gu Qingyao, was clearly very intelligent but was born at the wrong time. She had no opportunities at home. She could only do the housework, get married, and have children.
It was indeed a rare opportunity to study overseas.
Mo Beihan inwardly calculated the time. He was thinking that Yao Yao might as well stay overseas for a few more years and wait until this era had pa.s.sed completely.
It would be over in a few years. He knew that Gu Qingyao had no problem completing her medical studies. But if she wanted to find her mother, it would be more easily achieved if she remained overseas.
Once she returned, it would be difficult to leave again.
He had almost gone crazy from missing her, but he still hoped that his girl would live in an environment of freedom.
Mo Beihan glanced at them. “All right. I've asked you here to discuss an important matter. Considering the current circ.u.mstances, I think… they will pa.s.s in three to four years. What plans do you have? What do each of you want to do in the future?”
When the restrictions were lifted and they were free, all the ill.u.s.trious families would all develop in diverse ways. A person's achievements and influence would also depend on many factors. They did not have to depend solely on their jobs as they did now.
In a large family, those who had achievements in various professions would have greater cohesive power. The Gu family members were all very intelligent, but not everyone was suited to civil service.
Chapter 665: The Gu Family Arrives In The Capital (3)
Among them, Gu Jinhang and his brother, Gu Jinfeng, were the most intelligent and the craftiest. They were flexible and agile thinkers.
Gu Jinhang was a fox. He was the most suited to civil service. In their previous life, he had been the most successful.
In comparison, Gu Jinfeng was a more independent thinker. He enjoyed the freedom and disliked being restricted. He was more suited for business.
In their previous life, this fellow quit to start his own business. He prospered in the business world and was the richest member of the Gu family.
Eldest Cousin, Gu Jinye, was not as outstanding as them, but in the end, he was the eldest. He was not any less capable than them. He was a practical person and more reliable. He was also all-rounded and was best suited to looking after the family.
As for Gu Jinlin, Mo Beihan felt that he had not fulfilled his potential in his previous life. This might be because Third Uncle's family was poorer, or because Zhou Ping had less foresight. In the end, Gu Jinlin and Fifth Cousin, Gu Jinxuan, had gone into business at Zhou Ping's insistence.
Gu Jinlin was not as successful as Gu Jinfeng but had some accomplishments. After all, he was not stupid.
As for Fifth Cousin, Gu Jinxuan, he was the youngest of the older cousins and the most independent thinker. With the support of his older cousins, he had been fearless and had been fairly successful.
In their previous life, the Gu family had developed into a fairly powerful family! After all, none of their sons or grandsons were slackers. Not only had the older cousins done well, when the younger ones grew up, they had all succeeded too. This was rare among the families in the capital.
Mo Beihan felt that they could do even better in this life.
The older cousins' eyes brightened at Mo Beihan's words. “You… what do you mean? Have you received news?”
Mo Beihan smiled. “It's just a guess!”
Everyone: “…”
Mo Beihan said, “Think of our thousands of years of history. Never has there been an era like this. So I think that this is only temporary. One day, society will return to normal. And I feel that that day is not far off!
“Then all the professions will expand. If our families want to grow more powerful, they must have talented people in every profession. These are social connections. The Gu family has many children and grandchildren, and they can take different pathways. They should each develop their strengths so that the family will be even more powerful. Don't you agree?”
“What on earth are you saying?” Gu Jinhang asked.
Mo Beihan lowered his eyes and smiled. “If I say too much now, you probably won't believe me either. I'm just giving you a hint. Older brothers, all of you are so intelligent, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon.”
Older brothers?
They quivered and rolled their eyes. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was really shameless!
Mo Beihan said, “For example, Yao Yao is especially talented in medicine. In the future, she will certainly pursue this path. If she can reach the pinnacle of her profession, I believe her status in the capital will not be inferior to any of you.”
They paused. They had not carefully considered this point before.
In their hearts, it was their job as boys to build up the family. Yao Yao was their beloved younger sister. She just had to be pampered at home. As long as they were around, they would not allow anyone to bully her.
But they had not considered that Gu Qingyao's social standing might be higher than theirs.
They thought about Yao Yao's medical skills. The older cousins still could not figure out why their younger cousin was so talented, but if they compared her to Jiang Yiru's current status, their younger cousin was not to be underestimated if society returned to normal!
