Someone on StarNet had once compared fathers and sons to sovereigns and subjects.
They spoke of not daring to accept a cigarette from their fathers.
Of lacking the courage to drink with their fathers.
Of not daring to look their fathers in the eye.
What they craved most in their lives was their fathers' praise.
Statements like those... seemed rather exaggerated.
Guan Liang did not know what to make of them.
What exactly had their fathers done to make their children so fixated on a single word of praise?
As far as Guan Liang was concerned, Xianyu was not a competent father.
Other families in the cosmos that held power and resources had their own ways of raising children.
They planned their children's paths before they were even born.
Once they chose an heir, they had that child follow a prescribed course of study, pursue further education, enter the family business, and finally take over.
The other children received money regularly and were left to try whatever they pleased.
You could not put all your eggs in one basket.
The same applied to investing.
They invested in different fields.
So what if a company under their name filed for bankruptcy?
Their household could still offer help.
Even if their household went bankrupt, the extended family could still provide funds to support them.
And even if the entire extended family went bankrupt, that did not mean both parents' families would go bankrupt at the same time.
Pursuing high returns inevitably meant facing high risks.
Only repeated trial and error could improve the odds of success.
Children from families like those would not fixate on a single word of praise.
Xianyu's approach to raising a child was clearly different.
He had only one child.
As a result, Hua bore far more pressure
