Tang Xian and Bai Mansheng stood at a distance and watched the scene.
"You really do care about this child."
"He will be very useful to me in the future."
"So all you're doing is still out of self-interest? I thought you at least cared about him somewhat?"
Tang Xian felt that Bai Mansheng had misunderstood something, so he corrected her:
"Considering interests isn't something to be ashamed of. Interest and emotions never conflict. You should also learn to think from the perspective of interests first, and then consider personal feelings."
"Naturally, Tang must be of value to me. It's not a cold-blooded statement, but something each of us should consider when making friends: what value we can bring to others. In a reciprocal relationship, the cultivated feelings are deeper."
Bai Mansheng was hearing this perspective for the first time, but upon reflection, she found it made sense.
