Zheng Xiu asked again, "What's the point of being an official?"
Chu Chengfeng was at a loss again.
Zheng Xiu didn't beat around the bush and answered directly, "To get rich."
Chu Chengfeng was stunned.
Zheng Xiu said, "Once you're wealthy, you no longer have to worry about food and clothing. When you don't have those worries, you become carefree and well-fed, and you might just live to be a hundred. When you get right down to it, in this life, all this talk of ambition is just scenery along the way. In the end, it's all about... living."
The corner of Chu Chengfeng's mouth twitched, and his great beard quivered.
He felt that Zheng Xiu was spouting sophistry, yet he found himself unable to refute it.
