Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 73 Wei Zheming Buys Books

"Yes, of course. With your looks and charm, President Wei, unless someone isn’t a man, they’d be attracted to you."

Seeing Wei Jia once again taking the initiative, Li Jing no longer felt as embarrassed as before and admitted frankly.

Li Jing discovered that Wei Jia was a woman with a highly proactive offensive approach, whether in work or in life, quite different from the other women he had previously encountered.

Indeed, female bosses aren’t easy to handle...

A slight mistake, and it’s likely he’d be led by her.

Li Jing could tell that despite Wei Jia occasionally teasing him, the rationality deep in her eyes hadn’t diminished in the slightest. Compared to her, the thick-skinned Zhang Xinxin was on a completely different level.

Although Li Jing found it hard not to think about the supreme succubus-like Wei Jia, he also understood very well that she wasn’t like An Tong or Zhang Xinxin, and even less like Zhang Ling, an ordinary woman easily intimidated by money.

When dealing with Wei Jia, the more Li Jing appeared calculated and scheming, the more he’d arouse her suspicion and vigilance.

Conversely, his current carefree and unseeking demeanor was the most likely to bring him closer to her.

It’s precisely for this reason that Wei Jia found Li Jing unique.

Because among the people around Wei Jia, every relationship had more or less intertwined interests, Li Jing was the first person outside her family from whom she hadn’t felt any ulterior motives.

"Here, the coffee you ordered."

At this moment, Wei Zheming came out with a tray, with a thick history book tucked under his arm, causing his walking posture to be particularly awkward.

Seeing this, Wei Jia frowned and said, "I tell you, you can’t sit properly, can’t stand properly, and now can’t even walk properly?"

"Sis, give me a break. I’ve brought the coffee, even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work at least."

Wei Zheming placed the coffee on the table and sat down like the little effort had exhausted him: "Back then, when Wei Qing’s subordinate Su Jian had a complete defeat at the battle, he returned alone, and Emperor Wu of Han still pardoned him for his hard work. Sis, you should balance reward and punishment..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Jia smiled sarcastically: "Oh, just by serving two cups of coffee, you want to make requests from me?"

"This isn’t a request. I just want to buy a few books, it’s a reasonable demand!" Wei Zheming immediately retorted righteously.

"Just ask Mom and Dad to buy them for you, why ask me?" Wei Jia took a sip of coffee and said lightly.

"My dear sister, don’t you know Mom and Dad? They already think these books are affecting my studies, so why would they buy me books?"

Wei Jia glanced at him: "So, because the books affect your studies and Mom and Dad won’t buy them, you think I’d buy them? Do you want me to be the bad guy?"

"Oh my goodness! I never thought that. I keep my books here, they don’t even know..."

Seeing the siblings bickering, Li Jing asked curiously: "What books do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy two sets: ’Cambridge History of China,’ to see how China’s history is viewed from a Western perspective, and the complete set of ’Complete Works of Lv Simian’..."

"That’s quite a bit, they must cost several thousand yuan, right?" Li Jing, although not a history buff, had heard of these sets of books.

"Yes, about three thousand yuan."

Saying this, Wei Zheming secretly glanced at the expressionless Wei Jia, feigning a pitiful look: "These books are so expensive, my pocket money is not enough, I’m really struggling, can’t even afford books..."

"Stop pretending to be poor and complain, I’ve already given you two rooms just for your books."

Wei Jia said coldly: "Can you finish reading them? Buying so many books, aren’t there still many unread?"

"You don’t understand, even if you might not finish them, not buying ensures you won’t read them, that’s the fundamental difference."

Wei Zheming smugly said: "Moreover, collecting books is truly a wonderful thing..."

"No matter how wonderful, it’s useless since your grades are constantly declining, that’s a fact." Wei Jia firmly countered: "As a student, you must do what a student should do."

"I protest! What a student should do is learn, not just take exams!"

Saying this, Wei Zheming turned angrily to Li Jing, asking seriously: "Brother Li, don’t you agree?"

Hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback, surprised that the argument was suddenly drawn to him.

Seeing Wei Jia also looking at him with a gaze hoping he’d help educate her brother, Li Jing touched his nose thoughtfully and finally said, "Actually, I think... Zheming is more right."

"Yay! Finally, someone agrees with me! Haha!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheming’s eyes instantly lit up, and he jumped up excitedly.

While Wei Jia’s eyes gradually widened, and her brows furrowed slightly: "You’re leading him astray."

"I’m telling the truth, not intentionally indulging your brother."

Li Jing glanced at Wei Zheming, who was already so happy he started shimmying his hips and making faces at Wei Jia, causing Li Jing’s lips to twitch slightly before addressing Wei Jia: "Actually, I believe grades aren’t that important, especially given your family’s good financial situation."

Hearing this, Wei Jia’s expression cooled, looking at Li Jing: "Why? I remember you saying you graduated from a prestigious university, right?"

"Yes, and I don’t deny that studying is the only way for children from poor families to change their fate. But for families like yours, studying isn’t the only path."

After hearing Li Jing’s words, Wei Jia still didn’t agree: "So you mean, even if he doesn’t excel, he can rely on me in the future, so he doesn’t need to strive?"

"It’s not about not striving, it’s about not striving for survival."

Recognizing her dissatisfaction with his perspective, Li Jing explained more earnestly: "I heard a true story, would you like to hear it?"

It was the first time Wei Jia saw Li Jing in this mode, her expression softened slightly, she nodded.

"Someone once interviewed a graduate from Qingbei University, asking if at eighteen he’d choose a hundred million yuan or continue to aim for Qingbei University. What do you think he chose?"

Upon hearing, Wei Jia calmly said: "Normally, one would choose to aim for Qingbei University, since money is temporary, while attending Qingbei University can enhance one’s abilities and offer broader life choices. But since you’re asking like this, did he choose the hundred million?"

"Yes, he indeed chose the hundred million."

Li Jing quietly admired her analytical abilities, then continued: "Because he was a student from the countryside, and the college entrance exam was his sole chance to change his destiny. The major he chose and the improved skills were ultimately for survival, to change his and his parents’ situation, spending his life pursuing survival."

Seeing the unchanged expression, Li Jing continued: "But he said if he had the hundred million, he’d have achieved what he originally could spend his entire life reaching or not reaching. Then he’d use the remaining time and money to pursue what he truly wants to do.

He said what he wants is not driven by profit, nor does it have much material reward, but he really enjoys it, and believes with love and skills, he can contribute more to society in this aspect, achieving personal value, rather than spending a lifetime chasing survival, houses, or children’s education in the workplace."

After finishing, Li Jing looked again at Wei Jia’s face, now showing some change: "So, do you think deciding to attend Qingbei University or choosing the hundred million better realizes his personal value and brings more contribution to society?"

After pondering, Wei Jia’s brows lowered, entering a prolonged silence, clearly moved by Li Jing’s viewpoint.

A moment later, she finally raised her eyelids, the previous repulsion of Li Jing’s views softened somewhat.

She didn’t respond directly to Li Jing but turned instead to the slightly expectant-eyed Wei Zheming, seriously said: "Zheming, I know you love history, I can buy you books and support your passion.

But I still have one requirement: This year you’re in your senior year, the last year of high school, just endure for one more year, and in university, you can read as much as you want, and I’ll be responsible for buying all your future books, okay?"

"Really?!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheming’s eyes widened instantly, face flushed with excitement, and immediately agreed: "Okay! This last year, I guarantee my grades won’t continue to drop, and sis, you must keep your word!"

Seeing his joyful smile, Wei Jia couldn’t help but show a slight smile in agreement.

Then she glanced at the calm-faced Li Jing beside her, internally unsheathing different feelings.

After confirming Wei Jia had ordered those two sets of books online for him, Wei Zheming couldn’t contain his joy and turned to Li Jing:

"Brother Li, thank you so much! Why don’t you just become my brother-in-law, I approve of you!"

Wei Jia: "??????"

Li Jing: "??????"
