Chapter 617 "I Have Something to Say"

"Humans always find it hard to empathize with people whose circumstances are different from their own, so they are used to judging other people's choices from their own perspective and then drawing conclusions with self-righteousness. No wonder there are so many fools in this world."

In December, Gu Lanxi returned to work after giving birth, and her first job was the talk show "I Have Something to Say," which her fans had been looking forward to for several years.

That day, she wore a linen gray fitted suit, a white shirt, and black high heels, and only wore glasses and a watch, looking extremely intellectual.

When she walked onto the stage with a smile, no one in the audience expected to hear such an aggressive statement.

“I have many flaws that people criticize, and as far as I know, many people feel sorry for me every day.”

Gu Lanxi smiled and walked to the center of the stage.

"I've never addressed these issues directly before. Now that I have the opportunity to be on this program, I'll say a few words."

The Lanting couple have similar styles of doing things: they either say nothing or they say everything.

They are truly low-key when they want to be, and effortlessly trend on social media when they do.

The audience absolutely loved it!

"The first thing is about my early romance. There are many talented people in this world, and I have never underestimated them. So when someone dug up the exact date when we started dating and found out that I was only seventeen at the time, I never denied it."

"However, some people say that I'm love-obsessed, that I don't study hard, and that I'm setting a bad example for children. I firmly deny that."

"First of all, dating didn't interfere with my studies. That year, I graduated from university and was recommended for postgraduate studies in Financial Mathematics at University A. The papers I published and the awards I received during that time can all be found online. Here, I've made a simple table."

Gu Lanxi pressed the remote control in her hand, and a picture appeared on the big screen.

She walked to the edge of the stage, making enough space for a screenshot.

"Secondly, I didn't corrupt any children. To be honest, when I entered school, I was the youngest in the whole class, the whole grade, and even the whole school. Everyone avoided dating me, afraid that I would lead them astray."

The audience burst into laughter.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, some people will say that I am now a public figure, and the things I did before my debut have been dug up, which will have a negative impact on children."

"To this, I must say, if your child uses me as an excuse to pursue early romantic relationships, please be sure to tell him that Gu Lanxi was able to support herself at the age of twelve. Legally speaking, at seventeen, she is a person with full civil capacity and can be responsible for her choices. If you cannot, don't blindly follow her example; learning everything will only harm you."

Gu Lanxi is proud and confident at heart. She dares to say such things in such a setting, and she is not afraid of being criticized.

"The second thing is that many people think that my decision to give up academia to pursue acting is simply a sign of self-degradation."

The questions were increasingly sharp, making the audience's scalps tingle. They were afraid that after the show aired, the entire internet would analyze them frame by frame, and that people would see them lose control of their emotions. So they all pretended to be calm.

"First of all, thank you all for recognizing my talent. Secondly, I would like to say that perhaps I could achieve success by continuing in academia, but when I have many paths to choose from, I still prefer to take the one I like better."

"Some might say, how can you only care about your own happiness? You should do the work that is most suitable for you and most beneficial to the country and the people. I also cannot objectively evaluate whether I am doing well enough. I will just say three things for everyone's reference."

"First of all, I have paid more than 38 billion in taxes to the country."

A screenshot of the tax payment record appeared on the screen, and everyone stared wide-eyed, trying to count how many digits it had. The gasps of surprise almost lifted the studio off its feet!

After everyone had vented their emotions, Gu Lanxi smiled and reached out to press down.

After everyone quieted down, he began to speak:
"Secondly, I have created 861 jobs for society, not including companies in which I have invested but which are not under my management."

Behind every person is a family; to put it bluntly, there are hundreds of families who depend on her for their livelihood.

This is something to be proud of.

The laughter ceased, and everyone looked at her intently. Gu Lanxi, however, softened her expression and gently said the following:
"Finally, although most people would say that this is a trivial matter, for me, it is worth mentioning together with the previous two matters."

After whetting her appetite enough, she held up one finger and winked mischievously: "This year, the number of newborns in the country will increase by one because of me."

After recounting the preceding events, it sounded like a funny joke, and everyone laughed. Gu Lanxi, however, waved her hand dismissively:
"It's not funny."

After speaking, he listed in detail the relevant data from the population census in recent years.

"The continuous decline in the total number of newborns and the long-term low birth rate are very detrimental to national and social development, and this is not a trivial matter."

After the laughter subsided, she took a few steps and continued speaking:
"There's another thing that people can't understand: why did I get married so early and have children so young?"

"Firstly, just as lotus flowers love water but cacti don't, some people prefer living alone while others enjoy the liveliness of family life. This is all normal, and there's really no need for each other to look down on one another."

"Secondly, I'm proud to contribute to the birth rate. If you've met the right person, why not muster up the courage to give it a try? Marriage isn't that scary, and having children isn't that scary either."

Gu Lanxi always had a keen sense of policy changes.

The reason we previously focused on agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and now openly encourage childbirth, is based on this.

After the recording of the program was completed, Lu Nanting came to pick him up in person.

Gu Lanxi hugged him and urged him to hurry home.

Since having a child, the child changes every day, and neither of them wants to go out.

Lu Nanting asked a few simple questions, such as "Are you comfortable with it?", and then the driver started the car and took them back.

As soon as I got home, I heard Tuanzi crying.

"woke up?"

The postpartum nanny quickly replied, "Yes, it's time to nurse."

Another nanny prepared the formula, and Lu Nanting quickly took it from her, picked up the baby, and started feeding.

"Remember to find the vaccination record book; it's time for another vaccination tomorrow."

Raising children requires a lot of effort.

When outsiders see a child, they often say, "Wow, the child has grown so much!" Only those who raise children know how much hardship they have endured to raise her.

Fortunately, there were enough people at home, and her partner was very responsible, so the two never argued because of Tuantuan's arrival.

Everything was back on track, and the two gradually returned to work.

The couple had already agreed on how to take care of the child. If one of them had a schedule, the other would stay at home. If it was an important occasion that required both of them to attend, they would call their parents over to keep an eye on things. If their parents couldn't make it, the couple would take the child with them.

It's no wonder they're cautious.

Not to mention that Lu Nanting was almost kidnapped a few years ago, there are also cases of wealthy families' children being secretly bullied by their nannies. I really don't dare to gamble.

After Xiao Tuantuan finished drinking her milk, she lay on her father's back and patted him to help her burp. Gu Lanxi then stood in front of her, lifting dumbbells and making her laugh as she did so.

Lu Nanting glanced back at her, gently tickled the sole of the child's foot. The little girl was stunned for a moment, her fair and tender face first scrunched up, then she grinned, revealing her pink gums, and kept making "ah ah ah" sounds at Gu Lanxi.

Gu Lanxi's heart softened at the sight, and forgetting about exercising, she immediately took the child and continued filming.

How come life is so good here!
