Boss Zhou raised his eyebrows, sowhat disagreeing with the ideas of these two young people. But he also knew that the mindset of the young in this new era was different from that of older people like himself. Besides, these two had been living abroad for so ti, so their thinking was bound to be influenced by foreigners. Speaking up on such matters might instead cause their resentnt, so Boss Zhou didn't comnt further on the matter.
Afterward, Qin Miao and Qing stayed with Boss Zhou for over two hours, mainly chatting. Most of the ti, it was Boss Zhou asking about things he was curious about, and Qin Miao and Qing answering.
When it was al ti, Boss Zhou invited them for lunch, and in the evening, he wanted to take them for a soak and a foot massage, followed by a full-body massage.
Since Qing was there, the places Boss Zhou intended to take them were all legitimate establishnts.
However, Qin Miao and Qing both declined.
The most important thing about coming back from abroad is spending ti at ho with parents. Even though Qin Miao spent most of his ti in the bedroom playing on the computer, his mom knew her son was at ho, just a wall away, and she could see him by just opening the door.
But if they went out for a foot soak or bath, they probably wouldn't be back until eight, and even if they did return, it would be very late, which might disturb the family's rest.
So they politely refused Boss Zhou's kind offer.
Boss Zhou didn't insist. In fact, seeing this, he even had a slight eagerness to go himself.
After the al, Qin Miao and Qing were prepared to call a cab ho. However, Boss Zhou didn't just let Qin Miao leave. Instead, he had his driver take them back ho, while he himself couldn't wait to return to his simulator shop, open the safe, and start bragging about the steering wheel he had just acquired to his friends and social circles.
On the other side, after the al, Qin Miao and Qing arrived ho, thanked the driver who brought them, and Qin Miao walked Qing ho.
He then walked back to his own ho.
After all, the two families weren't that far apart.
When he got back to his neighborhood, Qin Miao noticed his Ferrari had been returned, and judging by its appearance, it had just been washed.
Not bothering about the car, Qin Miao went straight upstairs and opened the door to his ho. Upon entering, his first words were, "Mom! I'm back!"
"Back? Did you eat?"
"Yes, I ate."
"How about ng? Did you take her ho?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
...
As Qin Miao himself said, he had been staying at ho without going out for this period, yet his mom didn't beco tired or annoyed as so other parents might when their children are ho for a visit.
His mom was happy for a mont when she first saw him back, but then life normalized. When Qin Miao was studying, his mom acted the sa as she did now, except she no longer nagged him to do his howork.
This lifestyle of having everything served continued for seven days, including the first two days when Qin Miao returned.
During those seven days, Qin Miao didn't forget to ask Qing to prepare a gift for Fan Yue, considering she had helped take care of his mom for a long ti.
anwhile, Qin Miao also discussed with his mom about her early retirent.
This year, Qin Miao was 19, turning 20 after the new year. His mom had him at 22, so she was only 41 now, though she looked around 33.
This was partly because Qin Miao's mom was naturally carefree, not letting her regular work get her down, aging less as a result. Also, Qin Miao felt the health supplents from the system had a role, as he had left several buckets at ho back then.
And now was when his mom was particularly healthy and energetic.
Qin Miao had already achieved financial freedom, transferring 100,000 every month as a living allowance for his mom.
As long as she didn't engage in anything bad, she should be well provided for during her later years.
So there was no need for her to continue working.
Qin Miao wanted to take his mom to England.
This way, he could take care of her more easily, and having her close would lessen his sense of unfamiliarity in a foreign land.
But in the end, his mom refused. No matter how great abroad was, it wasn't ho. Qin Miao working in England was no different than soone working in a big city.
The key was that after living so many years with neighbors, his mom didn't want to start over eting new people; besides, her English wasn't great, though it's known that staying abroad for a while would improve her language skills.
Yet, as ntioned before, with financial freedom, there wasn't a need to exert oneself in a completely unfamiliar environnt. Staying in the comfort zone was nice.
True freedom is not doing what you want, but not doing what you don't want.
Since his mom didn't want to go to England, Qin Miao didn't insist.
Before heading to Shanghai, Qin Miao left two bank cards for his mom. One was from him, with a million, and the other from Qing, also with a million.
