Chapter 654 - Everything is ready

”Gu Chao, thank you for your hard work.”

Although Gu Chao was a few years older than him, the two of them did not feel that anything was amiss. In the previous military operation against Western Xia, Ji Feng had already established an extremely high level of prestige, and Gu Chao and the others were even more respectful to him.

”You are too kind, sir.” Gu Chao immediately smiled and said, ”Sir, the brothers are wondering when you can go back and take a look. This time, I came out with the orders from all the brothers in the team.”

Ji Feng thought for a moment and said, ”There is no time left. Let's wait until the end of the year. By that time, I believe you guys have mastered your first set of gymnastics.”

”Very well, sir, let's make a deal!” Gu Chao chuckled.

”It's a deal!” Ji Feng smiled and nodded.

Swis.h.!.+

Gu Chao saluted and said, ”Sir, I'll be leaving first.”

Ji Feng smiled and nodded.

Looking at Gu Chao's back, Ji Feng couldn't help but smile faintly. The personalities of these soldiers were what he liked the most. Straightforward, daring to take responsibility, and they also valued friends.h.i.+p.

Compared to many people in society, this was simply too good.

”Xiao Yu, let's go back as well.” Ji Feng smilingly patted Xiao Yu's head.

”Oh!” Ji Xiaoyu gloomily said.

Ji Feng could not help but laugh, ”What happened? ”You don't seem very happy. Are you still angry about what just happened?”

”That's not it either!” Ji Xiaoyu shook her head and said, ”Third brother, do you think everyone is so sn.o.bbish now? How can they judge a man's character by his wealth? Whether a person had money or not, good or bad family conditions, wasn't that all given to them by their parents? What does this have to do with my character! ”

Ji Feng was startled as he smiled bitterly: ”Xiao Yu, this question …. I really can't answer you. ”

Indeed, just as Ji Xiaoyu had said, the vast majority of people would use this kind of sn.o.bbish att.i.tude to look at others. For those who had money or status, everyone would rush in like a flock of ducks.

However, they did not care about the poor or the lower cla.s.s in society. Worse, they would despise them.

This situation was simply too common.

As for why it was like this, Ji Feng did not know how to explain it to Ji Xiaoyu. In other words, this situation could only happen due to the increasing rampage of gold wors.h.i.+p.

Or perhaps, this was the nature of humans, and even Ji Feng could not say for sure.

”Third brother, is money really that important?” Ji Xiaoyu asked in distress.

Ji Feng nodded his head with a smile. ”Indeed, in the modern society, money is indeed very important. Without money, one wouldn't even be able to eat, and he would end up being despised on the streets...”

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall his previous life. All those years of hard work, wasn't it all just to feed himself and let him eat better?

”It's really hard to understand.” Ji Xiaoyu was a little confused. ”No matter how well-dressed you are or how much money you have, you won't live longer than others. What's the point?”

Ji Feng smiled, but didn't say anything more. Ji Xiaoyu was born into an upper-cla.s.s family. Naturally, she wasn't worried about food and clothing. She also couldn't understand how difficult it was for people to live without money.

However, Ji Feng hoped that Ji Xiaoyu would continue to maintain her character and not become simple for the sake of money.

In this materialistic society, there was always a group of people who were not tainted and still had a clean mind. This type of person was the happiest and the most enviable.

”Xiao Yu, continue.” Ji Feng said with a smile.

”What did you say, third brother?” Ji Xiaoyu could not hear him clearly.

”It's nothing. It's getting late. Let's hurry back.” Ji Feng chuckled.
