"Dad, the entire profit from the developnt plan in West City!" Luofeng said with a smile.
"One billion?" Luo Lin was shocked.
"Even more than that."
Luofeng didn’t give an exact answer. Another one billion on top of that? That would make it two billion in total. That’s still ’more’ than one billion, right? There’s no rule saying two billion isn’t ’more’ than one billion, is there? It’s just double, after all.
"Alas!" Luo Lin suddenly sighed. "I was actually waiting for you to take over Jiai Company in the future, but now it seems that in the future..."
Luofeng said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Dad. If you really retire in the future, I will take over Jiai Company. Doing finance and managing the company at the sa ti—that’s completely manageable!"
Luofeng continued, "Of course, if you want to retire at fifty and have take over Jiai right after I graduate, I can only say, keep dreaming!"
"Hey, you rascal. Retiring at sixty isn’t too much, is it?" Luo Lin complained.
Luofeng replied with a smile, "Dad, I suggest you learn about the latest retirent rules. According to new regulations, n born after 1965 will likely be asked to extend their retirent age."
"Besides, sixty is nothing but the pri of life!" Luofeng made up tall tales to preserve his own freedom.
The n chatted for a while. Xu Zhenzhu also returned.
Judging by her expression, she must have won so money.
"Mom, I’ve prepared a New Year’s gift for you. Just wait a mont!"
It wasn’t long after Xu Zhenzhu returned that the guests also took their leave. It was only natural, as they wouldn’t want to intrude on the family’s reunion; these tycoons were quite perceptive.
"Oh? A gift?" Xu Zhenzhu was surprised.
"Mom, take a look. Do you like this gift?" Saying this, Luofeng walked into the room and brought out the La Prairie skincare set and two Patek Philippe wristwatches.
"La Prairie?" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Xu Zhenzhu’s face. She imdiately took it and opened the gift box. "This version! You bought three bottles at once? Son, you’re truly thoughtful."
"Is this really good?" Luo Lin wondered.
"A set is about forty to fifty thousand, maybe even fifty to sixty thousand, what do you think?" his mother said. "Anyway, it’s much better than Estee Lauder!"
"By the way, Mom, there’s also a wristwatch." As Luofeng spoke, he took out the 7140 wristwatch.
His mother asked, "How much is this one?"
His father preempted, "It should be around 680,000!"
"That expensive?" His mother was slightly taken aback. "Wearing this to work, so many colleagues have complinted how nice it looks!"
She was talking about her previous Patek Philippe watch.
But isn’t that stating the obvious? With such an exorbitant price, could it really not look nice?
"Dad, I also bought one for you!" Luofeng blurted out.
Luo Lin’s gaze instantly filled with anticipation.
After seeing the watch, he knew it was the Patek Philippe 5271P model.
"How much is this watch?" his mother curiously asked.
"That... around 1,930,000 or so!" Seeing that Luofeng wasn’t speaking, Luo Lin had no choice but to brace himself and say it.
His mother imdiately complained, "It’s a bit dark-colored and rather ugly, yet it sells for so much? What a waste of money!"
"...."
"...."
Father and son were collectively speechless and said nothing.
At dinner ti, Luofeng changed into a new outfit and shouldered an LV bag. "Dad, that kid Li Jie is asking to go to the internet café for gaming."
Li Jie had unwittingly been the scapegoat for so many things.
"Are you coming back tonight?" his father directly asked.
"Of course!" Luofeng nodded.
As he left, Luofeng purchased a carton of cigarettes. It was for smoothing over so minor affairs. Like, the security guard at the entrance to Bai Ningbing’s complex?
When the Lamborghini drove in, the guard clearly rembered Luofeng and didn’t even ask before letting him through.
Luofeng parked near the security booth and handed over the carton of cigarettes. "Uncle, Happy New Year!"
The guard, who looked to be in his fifties, hurriedly replied in a polite tone, "Thank you, young man, and the sa to you, Happy New Year!"
Luofeng smiled and nodded, then drove into the neighborhood.
Downstairs from Unit Two, Luofeng parked his car at the roadside as usual. Then he noticed soone peeking around—he recognized her at a glance; it was the owner of the neighborhood grocery store.
She happened to see Luofeng when he brought Bai Ningbing back the last ti.
This... It really seems I need to buy a car worth a few hundred thousand for convenience. After all, Bai Ningbing is away at school. What if Tangya invites for a late-night snack soti? Showing up in the Lamborghini would be too ostentatious.
「In the elevator.」
Luofeng first sent a ssage to Bai Ningbing.
"Babe, are you at ho?"
Bai Ningbing: "Mhm, I’m ho. Have you co back?"
Luofeng: "Guess?"
Bai Ningbing: "I won’t guess. Show the Beef Corn Dumplings our family made tonight. Do you want to try them?"
"I do! So, open the door, and I’ll co eat, okay? I want to be the baby!"
The thought made Bai Ningbing blush slightly. That rascal! He really almost beca the ’baby’ last ti. Actually, she was also a little curious about what it would feel like to be a "mom."
"Co on over!"
No sooner had Bai Ningbing sent the ssage than she heard a knocking at the door.
Bai Ningbing was startled.
"Who is it?" Bai Ningbing asked.
Luofeng deliberately didn’t answer aloud. Instead, he ssaged her on WeChat.
"Open the door!"
"You’re outside?"
"Where else?"
Bai Ningbing: "Answer from out there! I just read that scary story about knocking..."
Luofeng looked at Bai Ningbing’s reply and smiled. Were they truly on the sa wavelength?
"Ningbing, did soone knock on the door?" As Tangya spoke, she walked towards the door. "Who is it?"
