Cheng Yaozu stayed with Cheng Su and the others for a while, talked about their upcoming plans, and then left.
As soon as he left, Cheng Su couldn’t wait to pull Ning Ge aside and ask what he meant during dinner.
"Are you putting me on a pedestal? And exposing your own background." Cheng Su asked.
Ning Ge replied, "When interacting with people, you always have to present something worthwhile to get respect. Don’t think it’s too realistic or sharp, the world is bustling about for benefits; everyone is motivated by profit. That’s the way it is. It’s not against showing true feelings, but interests will make relationships more solid."
Cheng Su pressed her lips together; she understood this principle.
"Elevating you isn’t just to boost you up, but to use you as a bridge. Look, our Ning family gets to know the Cheng family because of you, and the same goes for them. Without you, we might have known each other eventually, but probably not as casually or familiarly as now," Ning Ge said. "In big families, interests drive everything. Even if the North and South don’t interfere with each other, once interests are involved, that no longer applies. Networking is something you can never have too much of, especially with such large establishments."
"Is your family also planning to expand south?" Cheng Su was somewhat curious.
"Not really, just creating more options, not putting all our eggs in one basket," Ning Ge replied.
Cheng Su gave an "oh" and said, "Thank you!"
Ning Ge raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, you also intend to back me, right?" Cheng Su wasn’t stupid. With Ning Ge’s words, it was as if telling the Cheng family that the old master of the Ning family held her in high regard.
And the Cheng family, knowing this, would naturally think more highly of her and be closer to her. Didn’t Cheng Yaoguang’s eyes warm up when looking at her?
"I think the old master genuinely likes you, so things will be easier," Ning Ge laughed and shifted the topic.
"What are you all talking about? Why do I never understand?" Ying Xiaoya was thoroughly confused.
