Zheng Yun's capabilities needed no further explanation. In less than two days, he had already established the company's basic framework. When Chu Feng invested another hundred million in Citibank Currency, Zheng Yun gained an even clearer understanding of just how deep Chu Feng's pockets were. He could finally stretch his wings, and Chu Feng had no intention of restraining him in the slightest. That moved Zheng Yun even more.
Where else could he find such a good boss? One who trusted him so completely!
In truth, Chu Feng was simply lazy. The company's most important assets were all in his hands anyway. Without Chu Feng, the company would collapse immediately, so he feared no betrayal.
Early that morning, Chu Feng got up. It couldn't be helped; they were moving house today.
His mother had been looking forward to it for a long time. His father had also quit his job and was preparing to work at Chu Feng's company.
His mother and grandmother had originally packed a mountain of bags and bundles, but Chu Feng told them everything was already provided, finally making them abandon the idea.
The family happily headed to their new home.
But when they arrived and the four of them got out of the car, they discovered that what they had thought was an apartment had turned into a villa.
The moment they entered the courtyard and saw the carefully designed flowers, plants, and landscaping, they were stunned speechless.
"How much must this have cost?" His mother was both shocked and proud.
After buying it, Chu Feng had spent nearly another six million renovating the house. All the appliances inside had been replaced with ones that could connect to Xiao Meng. At last, it gave him a faint sense of being back on Planet Taibo.
The moment the four entered, they found themselves in a spacious, luxurious living room.
Seeing his family act so cautiously, only daring to go in after changing into slippers, made Chu Feng uncomfortable.
I've still been too low-key. Since I have the means, why should I let my family live so frugally?
After the family happily toured the villa, his grandmother insisted on sleeping on the first floor. Considering that it was inconvenient for an elderly person to go up and down stairs, they agreed. Chu Feng had originally wanted to hire a housekeeper, but the family had always opposed it, so he decided to reveal a little more.
The four of them sat on the high-end Italian leather sofa.
"Dad, Mom, Grandma, actually, I'm very rich now. There's no need to be so frugal."
"No matter how much money you have, you still need to spend it carefully. You're not married yet, and the company is still in its early stages. There'll be plenty of expenses later on." His mother earnestly tried to dissuade him, while his grandmother and father nodded in agreement.
Chu Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Actually, this house belongs to me now!"
Chu Feng did not wait any longer and continued, "I told you that software is very popular right now, and the company's profits are high. Money isn't a problem at all. We've also received an investment of one billion, so I really don't lack money now. This villa alone, including the renovations, cost more than ten million. There's no need to be so stingy anymore!"
Chu Feng's confession made everyone suddenly fall silent.
His father, mother, and grandmother were all stunned.
They simply could not imagine how much one billion was. Even if the three of them saved for ten lifetimes, they could never amass that kind of money. Yet how long had it taken their son? One month? In such a short time, he had built such a fortune. They felt pride, excitement, and fear—fear that their son and grandson might take the wrong path.
"This..."
"My grandson is capable! He's a big entrepreneur now!"
His grandmother was the first to recover. She had not spoiled her grandson for nothing; he truly had become incredibly capable.
"Dad, Mom, Grandma, I only hid it from you because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. But now that I'm capable, I should support you, shouldn't I?"
Chu Feng carefully watched their expressions.
Smack! His mother slapped Chu Feng on the head.
"You brat, why didn't you tell us sooner? You had everyone worrying about you, afraid something would go wrong with your company, and you still hid it from us. Looks like we can retire and enjoy our old age now."
His mother spoke with reddened eyes.
His mother had always been a proud and strong-willed woman. Among her three siblings, her family had been in the worst circumstances. How could someone as proud as her truly feel at ease about that?
Now that her son had become so successful, she suddenly felt that every hardship had been worth it.
"That's right, you brat. You made your father and mother take out all their savings and worry about you. You deserve a beating!" His father chimed in with a grin, taking the opportunity to reach for Chu Feng's head as well.
Quick as lightning, his mother slapped his father's hand away.
"Our son's clever brain came from me. How dare you hit him?"
"That's right! Hit my precious grandson on the head again, and I'll whip you next time!" his grandmother added from the side.
His father had always held such a low status at home. Liu Yun had just hit Chu Feng too, and no one had said anything. He shook his head with a bitter smile and did not dare speak.
Chu Feng took out the card his father had given him from his wallet. "Dad, this is the card you gave me. I haven't spent a single cent from it, and there's still one million inside. That can be your spending money. If you're free this afternoon, let's go buy cars together. I still don't have one. Dad and Mom, don't you both have driver's licenses? You should get a car too. Don't worry about the price—buy whatever you like!"
Chu Feng knew that both his parents had driver's licenses. His father had even driven for someone else for a while in the past. They had always wanted to buy a car once they had money, even a used one would have been fine. But to pay for Chu Feng's education, where could they find any spare funds? Even when they did have money, they wanted to save it, afraid that Chu Feng might not make it and hoping to keep it for his marriage.
"Alright, we'll go this afternoon. I'll do some research first..."
His parents were indeed delighted. Their son was buying them a car, and their pride immediately soared. They picked up their phones and started looking up cars.
"Oh, Dad, Mom, there's an auto show at the car market this afternoon. We can go take a look."
Chu Feng was also playing with his phone, but he directly asked Xiao Meng in his mind.
Xiao Meng told Chu Feng about it as well. There was a major auto show at the Hailing Auto City, including internationally renowned sports cars.
In his previous life, Chu Feng could never have afforded a sports car. Sports cars had always been his dream. Now that he had the chance and the means, of course he wanted to take a look. If he saw one he liked, he could buy it on the spot.
"By the way, where's your girlfriend? Why not invite her over for lunch today? She can get familiar with the house."
His mother had thought of everything.
"Alright, I'll give her a call."
Chu Feng and Huang Ying were in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Every day, they would talk on the phone until their phones practically overheated.
"Hello? Chu Feng."
The call was answered quickly, and a soft, sweet voice came through.
"Hey, Ying'er. What are you doing?"
"What else could I be doing? Working. Why did you suddenly think to call me?"
Huang Ying asked in confusion. Chu Feng usually knew she was at work at this hour and would not call. Today was unusual.
"I missed you," Chu Feng said with a chuckle. Couples needed a little romance. If they treated each other with the formal respect of ancient times, where would the passion or interest be?
"Who taught you to be so cheesy?"
Huang Ying said coquettishly, though her tone showed that she was quite happy.
"By the way, when do you get off work? Can you take the afternoon off? I moved into a new house, so come see it and have lunch with us. Then come look at cars with me this afternoon. It's inconvenient not having one." Chu Feng told her the truth.
Huang Ying seemed to say something to someone on the other end. After a while, she said, "I'm getting off work soon. I'll take the afternoon off. Just send me the address."
"How about I pick you up?"
How could he let Huang Ying, a girl, take a taxi over? Chu Feng was prepared to pick her up.
"No, no. Just send me the address. I can come over by myself this afternoon."
Unable to persuade Huang Ying, he could only send her the address.
