Su Tianyu looked at his somewhat unusual older brother, and asked, puzzled, "What brought this on?"

"Ah, I don't know where to start," Su Tiannan said, taking a hard drag on his cigarette. "Anyway, lately, I've suddenly had a lot of new ideas. I feel like I've been wasting my life."

"Come on, among all of us, you're the most ambitious," Su Tianyu said objectively. "If it wasn't for Second Uncle's declining energy and the business needing someone to manage it, with your learning ability, getting into a well-known university in the First District wouldn't have been a problem."

"Your idea of being ambitious is different from what I'm thinking now," Su Tiannan waved his hand.

"How is it different?" Su Tianyu prepared to have a heart-to-heart talk with his brother and picked up the pack of cigarettes on the table to light one himself.

Su Tiannan sat in the night, his eyes somewhat lost as he replied, "Before, I just felt like I was the oldest brother, and I had to lead the younger siblings and make a success of the business that Old Man built with his entire fortune. But to be honest, I never really thought about how big I wanted to make this business, nor did I think about living a life of luxury and extravagance. I just simply felt that our family had its own company, a stable income, and that taking it up another level and maintaining the status quo would be pretty good...!"

"Isn't that what most people think? There's nothing wrong with that," Su Tianyu asked with a smile. "Big Brother, do you feel like I've sped up the pace of the family after I came back?"

Su Tiannan shook his head without hesitation. "At first, I thought so, but now I think you're doing the right thing."

"Why?"

"Because the place we live in, and the social environment, it's not a normal society," Su Tiannan squinted at Su Tianyu. "Maybe if you hadn't come back, your Second Uncle would now... either be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty, and the family's company might not even exist. It's very likely that we would have gone bankrupt and liquidated."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu was somewhat shocked, because in his inherent impression, according to his older brother's previous personality, he would never have said such blunt words, some of which cursed their father.

"Some things that have happened recently have given me a lot of feelings," Su Tiannan said, lowering his head, his voice hoarse. "When your Second Uncle had his accident, I knew what it meant to be powerless. After following Yu Mingyuan, our family had to face leaving Dragon City and running away two or three times. This made me know what it means to be unable to control your own destiny. Also, do you know that Xiao Yucheng?"

"I know him," Su Tianyu nodded slowly. "Isn't he the laborer who attacked the deputy mayor?"

"Yes," Su Tiannan nodded. "Before his accident, the two of us had a few contacts. He asked your Second Uncle at the time to try to get a Dragon City hukou (household registration), but he had been in the Chi Army, which was a black mark on his record. I found someone to help him with it, but it didn't work out."

"Yeah, and then?"

"And then he died," Su Tiannan raised his head to look at his younger brother. "I actually know more about his affairs than anyone else. He returned to Dragon City wanting to take care of his children, wanting to live a good life with the money he had saved in Sinaloa, haha, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, his family would be ruined. He also let me know what a disaster is."

Su Tianyu roughly understood the meaning in Tiannan's words, looked at him silently, and did not say anything.

"In the past, I always felt that it was good to work steadily, not to cause trouble, not to court disaster," Su Tiannan sighed and said, "But now I feel that in this era, you still have to control your own destiny. You don't court disaster, but disaster courts you. Especially in our current situation, we are forced to have a position, and in most things, we have to watch people's faces. We don't have the right to speak, we don't have the right to choose, we can only drift with the tide."

Su Tianyu listened quietly, without interrupting.

"But have you ever thought about it? Once something goes wrong in the future, haha, we might be the first to be cut off," Su Tiannan looked at his younger brother. "Just like Xiao Yucheng, when Dragon City needed him, they said he was a glorious laborer, but when they didn't need him, they didn't even bother to give him a formal identity."

"This kind of situation will happen, after all, we live in such a society," Su Tianyu nodded slowly and replied, "But I think some things don't need to be thought of too extremely. We just do our best, because no one is a god, and no one can control life."

Su Tiannan nodded slowly. "Xiao Yu, I also want to get into the system, and I also want to climb up."

"That's a good thing!" Su Tianyu immediately replied, "It's never too late to have this drive! If you want to get social status, you can go to night school, make up for your diploma later, and then find a way to apply for the exam! Just think about it, even someone like me with a blemish on my record has almost managed to get things running smoothly. You're just a little older, which won't affect anything."

"Yeah, I'll prepare," Su Tiannan felt much better after getting Six's support. "Let's brothers do a good job and try to pull the children in the family along, and make something of themselves! At least in the future, we won't have to run away at the slightest sign of trouble! And even less... let your Second Uncle be pointed at the head with a gun while he's sleeping."

"Yes, let's work hard together and bring up everyone in the family," Su Tianyu also agreed and replied, "If you want to learn something, I'll recommend a school to you later. We'll be the vice president and go to school at the same time! Oh, let me tell you, it's easier for you to do it... You don't have a blemish on your record. Later, if the association is slightly larger, even if you don't have a diploma, you can still get into the City Council... That's what I'm thinking. In the future, I'll be in the judicial department, you can...!"

Under the moonlight, the two brothers spoke quietly with some excitement, making plans for the future, and it was during this period that Su Tiannan's ideas slowly began to change.

He deeply loved his family, and he also loved his brothers and sisters. He always tried his best to manage the family affairs well, so his previous ideas gradually changed.

...

Three days later.

Yu Mingyuan sat in the living room, looking at himself in the mirror with his new suit, and whispered to Su Tianyu, "Today, Boss You is hosting a banquet, let's all go to support him and make it lively! You call Tiannan and Tianbei and tell them to bring their daughters and handsome young men, let's all accompany the guests to make it lively."

"Okay, I'll call Big Brother now!" Su Tianyu replied with a smile.

...

Dockworkers Association.

Jing Yan held the phone, standing by the window and said, "The new chairman of the Regulatory Commission is him? Is that right?"

"Yes, it's been confirmed, it will be announced in the next two days." The person on the other side of the phone asked softly, "How about you? Have you contacted Gui Mengjun...!"
