novelA Call From Longteng Jiayuan's Boss
| ← Ch.271 | Ch.273 → |
Thinking that way, Su Yang restrained his excitement and reached out to squeeze Janet's hand, only to realize that it actually felt quite... meaty! 'Such a big piece of meat... If a pig got this ability, the family wouldn't have to worry about pork any longer... The price of pork has gone up lately... 'Although... Wouldn't it be water-infused pork?'
Su Yang watched with gluttony as Janet slowly shrunk before asking him, "Where did all that water of yours go?" Janet replied, "I saved the water. I can either put the water back or slowly absorb it." Su Yang continued, "So you now have a function to store water?"
Janet nodded, causing a glimmer to appear in Su Yang's eyes. When he looked at Janet, it was like seeing a huge piece of meat. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't absorb abilities from others, he'd definitely think of getting Janet to transfer this ability to him. After all, this was the kind of superhuman ability that should be labeled as a superpower. With his burning desire for Janet's new ability, Su Yang left the swimming pool. On the one hand, he wanted to give Janet some space to test his new ability out but on the other hand, he was preparing himself to complete his silver mission.
After all, the only way he could obtain Silver Points to add to himself was from completing Silver Missions.
When he got out of the pool, Su Yang called his parents immediately. The first thought that crossed his mind now that he had money that needed to be spent was to spend it on his parents.
The call was answered by Su Yang's mother.
When Su Yang said he started his own business, opened two companies, and made a little money, Su Yang's mother took some time to digest the information. If he hadn't told her all these things, she would've thought he didn't have enough money to eat and was calling her because he had a fever. Fortunately, Su Yang explained to her that he really started a company and it was making money. Even then, Madam Su didn't fully trust him.
However, once he managed to convince her, she was a flurry of emotions. She was shocked on one hand, but proud on the other. 'I never would've thought that my son would tell me that he's started several companies silently. From living in the village all these years, the one thing I realized was that the people who founded companies were all big bosses! 'I'm so proud of my son... Ever since he was a young boy to this moment, he's always been the best!' Even so, Su Yang's mother still kept putting it off when he wanted to give her money. She told him that she hadn't spent the money he had given her in the past so giving her so much was useless. However, since Su Yang insisted on giving her more, she finally relented after he persuaded her for almost half a day although the amount was only 6, 000 yuan.
She used the 6, 000 yuan and built Su Yang a tiled room for him next to his old house so he'd have a home when he returned and could directly get married.
It didn't feel ridiculous at all to Su Yang. He only felt a warm sadness in his heart. This was, in essence, the only wish mothers had. They'd sacrifice food and clothes for the sake of their children, planning and making considerations for them all the way.
To her, she might still not understand that houses in Shanghai could range from a million to ten million. She also didn't understand that girls nowadays would never follow a boy and live in a village as they'd instinctively want to plan for a good future for their children as they'd always want the best for them.
According to her, there'd always be ups and downs. One shouldn't get too cocky when they were at their peak. However, don't be impatient and leave some room for savings. At the same time, one shouldn't be discouraged even when they hit rock bottom. Instead, they should use the savings they had leftover from the previous years and make a comeback. Su Yang quietly listened to his mother's teachings and chatted with her for a while longer before hanging up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Su Yang transferred a total of 60, 000 yuan to his mother. Since his parents were quite reluctant to spend his money, he gave them a little more so they'd be a little more at ease with a larger amount in hand.
He didn't give them more because being 'rich' isn't necessarily a good thing, especially in the village. For rural areas like where his parents stayed, endless trouble would plague homes who suddenly became rich.
, 000 yuan wasn't a lot of money. Nobody would miss that sum of money and it would lessen those who would ask them for the money. At the very least, that money would improve his parents' quality of life.
'Didn't they want a tiled house for themselves? In that case, they should go ahead and do it! It doesn't matter if I return to live with them in the future, or if they'll come to Shanghai to live with me. The most important thing was their happiness. Hanging up the phone, Su Yang transferred another 500, 000 yuan to a card of his own that he planned to leave to his parents when he went visiting the next time. The money would be for emergencies and would be in a card. They could use it if they wanted to, or save it for their retirement if they didn't want to spend it there and then.
After doing this, Su Yang looked at the Silver Mission in the system. The system stated that he had spent 5. 21 million from the 10 million he was supposed to spend.
'Huh? Didn't I just give my parent's 60, 000? Why is it 5. 21 million now?'
Su Yang had calculated his spending and thought that the system should've included the 500, 000 he intended to give his parents. 'Is the thought of giving my money away considered spending as well? It isn't a bug, is it? Thinking along this line of thought, Su Yang transferred another 500, 000 to a second card and mumbled, "This is for my second son!"
"Beep!" A prompt from the system appeared before Su Yang (Warning! Cheating detected in Silver Mission. ]
Su Yang was speechless. 'So... It's got to be the kind of giving that was voluntary. One where you don't intend to get the money back... ' Su Yang was convinced as it seemed like there really wasn't any shortcut to it.
Thinking of giving away more money, he couldn't help but think of Wang Shan again. With that, he withdrew the 200, 000 yuan of ill-gotten gains from Chen Ye's safe with the intention of giving the money to her father as a good deed. 'I wonder if this counts?'
Deep in thought, he sent Xu Lu a message. [Xu Lu, do you have the contact number for Wang Shan's parents? I'd like to get in touch. )
At this time, Xu Lu was at work in a boutique near her school. However, since the school was on its break, there were fewer customers in the boutique so she looked rather bored.
Taking out a mirror, Xu Lu looked at herself. In the mirror, she saw that she had a charm rarely seen in girls at her age. Seductive eyes, pale red lips, a delicate face and a banging figure. She was the kind of girl who would get suspected of something even if she told people she was a student in a 985 school. After all, she was too flirtatious and beautiful and didn't quite look like a bully from a prestigious university. Instead, she looked like a delicate vase who had been getting average grades from when she was younger.
She was supposed to be on a plane home to meet her parents during the school holidays but she stayed in Shanghai because of Su Yang. To be honest, she was rather materialistic and would rather be nothing but a rich wife that had gorgeous clothes, not having to work while doing whatever she wanted.
Su Yang was the one she was interested in. He founded two popular apps being used in their school along with two other companies from scratch. In her conscientious search for information, she discovered that Su Yang went from being penniless and broke to having at least tens of millions of yuan within just half a year.
He was clearly a potential stock in the market that showcases the strength of stocks with superior performance!
That was why she was so enthusiastic when she first met him. It was because she truly believed that Su Yang was lightyears beyond Qu Xuan! To top it all off, she deliberately made herself appear weak and mercurial when Wang Shan's affairs came to light to attract Su Yang's attention.
Because of this, Su Yang got closer to her from Wang Shan's affairs.
On the day of the holiday, Xu Lu's heart got even more excited when she saw a young master attempting to befriend Su Yang while addressing him as Young Master Su. She felt like this was as close as she was going get in her quest to marry into a rich family.
After thinking about it, she decided to remain here during the holidays and stayed in school, wanting to take advantage of the holidays to get in touch with Su Yang and develop their relationship.
However, her plan was delayed because she couldn't think of a good reason to look for him.
'Do I have coffee with him? That's too cliché, right?
'A movie? Nah, it's too fast for that...
'I can't ask him out for a dance, can I?' Xu Lu was annoyed that she could only look for opportunities to get closer to him while working! Just as she was drowning in thoughts, her WeChat got a notification and she nonchalantly picked up her phone.
However, she brightened up the moment she saw the name on the WeChat notification. She sat up straight, opened her WeChat and was about to reply when she stopped.
She bit her light red lips and thought for a moment before slowly typing a line. (Yes. But I don't know if they're willing to meet with you. Is there something you're looking for them for?]
After a while, Su Yang replied, (I feel quite a lot of pity for them due to Wang Shan's incident. So, I wanted to show them some gratitude and support them to let them live a little better. ] Xu Lu rolled her eyes as she replied, [Didn't you give them some money in the past?] Su Yang sent a message. (Oh, this time it's given on behalf of the company. )
Xu Lu asked him, [Is it convenient for you to tell me how much?] Su Yang answered, [200, 000. It's a little token of appreciation. ) Xu Lu's eyes lit up. '200, 000... Giving that to an unknown person just because of sympathy. He really is a rich man. '
Xu Lu was now even more enthusiastic.
With Xu Lu's help, Su Yang contacted Wang Shan's parents and gave them the 200, 000 yuan of Chen Shao's ill-gotten gains. Then, he received a bunch of thanks, as well as an invitation from them. Xu Lu wanted to have dinner with him on Wang Shan's behalf.
Su Yang's mind was completely preoccupied with spending money so he rejected her immediately. After sending the money over, Su Yang looked at the Silver Mission once more, realizing that he had now spent 5. 41 million. 'As expected, the 200, 000 I stole belongs to me
However, he had no regret. The most important thing was to follow your heart. Besides, Su Yang wouldn't feel right if he spent the money on himself so Wang Shan's parents were the best people to spend the money on. After all, Chen Ye owed this to them...
He saw that there was still 4. 59 million from the 10 million remaining. Thinking that this 4 million shouldn't be wasted, he decided to invest it into short-term vehicles so he wouldn't have cashflow problems.
'What should I do?'
Su Yang was quietly pondering, and half a heartbeat later, he brightened up. 'Huh... Seems like this is a good idea! If I use this method, I'd probably be done with it soon!
At the same time, in Longteng Jiayuan. The owner of Longteng Jiayuan, who hadn't slept all night was sitting in the study on the second floor of Villa No. 1 in Longteng Jiayuan while quietly smoking a cigarette. After a moment, his phone rang and he picked it up, quietly listening to the information being narrated to him from the other end of the phone. From time to time, he'd reply.
"Ah, so that's it.
"Got it.
"So Shanghai has never heard of him, right?" Then, he half-heartedly hung up the phone, tugged at his bowtie that was a little tight, stood up, and went to the glass panel that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. He looked at the cluster of villas for quite some time silently.
After a long time, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Ten seconds later, the phone was answered on the other end, and a clear voice sounded, "Hello?" He said in his slightly hoarse voice, "Su Yang, is it? I'm Zhao Liao, the owner of Longteng Jiayuan. I feel like there's some misunderstanding between us, and I... I want to talk to you."
