"Hey, Dad..."
"Xiaofan? What's up? Need so money?"
Every ti he called his father, the first thing his father asked was if he needed money.
Perhaps, that was indeed the case. They hadn't seen each other for the past two years, and their contact was mostly through calls. After Xiaofan went to XG, he hadn't even called his parents once.
However, even when their relationship seed distant on the surface, Xiaofan could always find his father's care in his words.
Money, that was the only way his father knew to compensate him.
As an ordinary college student, daily expenses were necessary. Going out with friends, occasionally buying so clothes and shoes—these were essentials.
So, every ti Xiaofan asked for money, Ye Dashan would transfer the money to Xiaofan's account right away.
"No, I'm not short of money. Just calling to check if you've eaten? What's mom doing?"
"Oh, I just got ho from work. Your mom's cooking. We'll eat soon."
"Having dinner this late."
"Well, been busy lately."
"I heard the funds for the project you're handling are short..."
"..." Ye Dashan suddenly fell silent after hearing his son's question: "Your second uncle told you?"
"How much short?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just have to get through this tough patch."
"How much short? I have it."
"Huh?"
Ye Dashan thought he misheard, and let out a surprised huh.
"I heard from Uncle that you need to borrow 800,000. I have that money. I'll transfer it to you in ten minutes; you haven't changed your account number, right?"
"No, haven't changed. But, where did you get so much money?"
"Hmm? I never got to tell you. I started a business with so friends in Capital City, and it seems to be doing well. So from now on, you don't have to worry about my living expenses." Xiaofan said softly.
"Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Let's hang up. Call when you receive the money."
"Okay. Okay."
Ye Dashan hung up the phone, feeling sowhat at a loss. The money he had saved up after working so hard all these years wasn't even this much, yet how long had his son been in the Capital City to earn this much?
Indeed, knowledge changes destiny. If he had studied a couple more years, maybe he wouldn't be in his current situation.
"Uncle, you go eat first, don't mind ."
"Okay. Then I won't be polite."
"Go ahead and eat, eating with a nephew doesn't count as bribery."
"You kid..."
After joking with his uncle, Xiaofan called Li Kuo.
"Hey, why did you send a card number to my email?"
"Do a favor."
"Speak."
"Transfer 8 million from my account to that card number, and I want it in ten minutes."
"Ten minutes? No problem. Oh, this card is in your mom's na, huh. Got it."
After hanging up, Xiaofan saw Ye Dahe looking at him in astonishnt.
"What's up, Uncle?"
"8 million? You're not kidding, are you?"
"If I say I have hundreds, thousands, even ten thousand tis more cash and assets than this 8 million, would you believe ?"
"A thousand tis? 800 billion? That can't be right?" Ye Dashan said incredulously.
"Let's put it this way, I'm the nominal chairman of the Ren Clan Enterprise, I have shares in their family's business, and the XG Dongwu Group is also entirely in my na. Of course, while this money is technically mine, I won't spend recklessly or misuse it. For example, with the Ren Clan, I'm just a figurehead. Although I can access their funds, I don't need that much. The sa with Li Kuo's family business—I won't interfere. As for Dongwu, it was entrusted to by Yanhuang Soul, which I have Ren Clan help manage. Just these three companies combined have funds far exceeding 80 billion. So if my dad needs 800,000, giving him 8 million is quite reasonable."
"You kid... does your grandfather know?"
"He probably knows. The Ren Clan's forr patriarch and my grandfather were old friends, and everything I have today is thanks to him. Although he's been gone for over two years, I still need to keep an eye on the Ren family. That said, it seems the Ren family has always been supporting ."
"Alright, I've heard bits and pieces about your situation. I just didn't expect your grandfather to be involved back then. But aren't you afraid to scare your dad? He's never seen so much money in his life."
"I'm scared he'll be startled, so I didn't dare to send that much. Besides, I also want him to know that our family is rich now, and he doesn't need to work himself to the bone outside. Uncle..."
"Yeah?"
"If you need money, just let know..."
"Oh, you stinky kid. Hahaha..."
The always serious and rigid Ye Dahe was finally amused by Xiaofan. However, Xiaofan wasn't joking. Like he said, having a al with his nephew doesn't count as bribery.
'Ring ring ring...'
Just as Ye Dahe finished laughing, a call from his father, Ye Dashan, ca in.
"Hello."
"Xiaofan, I got the money. Didn't expect my son to have such capability."
"So soon? Are you sure you received it?"
"Yes, got it, got it. You know your mom manages the money. Her phone just got a notification, she showed it to ..."
"Hey, Dashan, this isn't right, this, this isn't 800,000?" Suddenly, his mother's puzzled voice ca through the call.
"If it isn't 800,000, then how much is it?"
"Look at these zeros."
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, it's correct..."
"The zeros go up to a hundred thousand, but there's also an eight at the end."
"Then it's... 8, 8 million? Xiaofan... this..."
"Yes, 8 million..."
"Haha, didn't I say it would startle him." Ye Dahe continued smiling while munching on the pig trotters.
The phone call suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere began to shift.
Feeling relieved and happy just monts ago that his son could earn so much, Ye Dashan suddenly grew worried.
"Son, this money..."
"Don't worry, Dad, the money is clean, and it's definitely and surely my money." Xiaofan assured.
"But... where did you get so much money? If you did sothing illegal, I would co all the way over from 800 miles away to teach you a lesson."
"Don't worry, if I ever did anything against our family, even if you didn't punish , Uncle wouldn't let off. Look, Uncle is right beside ; he can vouch for ." Xiaofan said as he handed the phone to his uncle.
