Jin City Flower Base

A rustling sound caught Ye Feng's attention. Had a thief gotten into the house? Impossible. The security at East Lake Villas wasn't just for show.

He went downstairs to look and saw his father rummaging through the refrigerator. He seemed hungry and was looking for something to eat. No wonder: he hadn't eaten dinner, so he was bound to be hungry now that he had sobered up.

Ye Feng quietly walked up behind his father and gave him a hard slap on the back. His father jumped and staggered back several steps. Seeing it was Ye Feng, he let out a long breath and said, "You little brat, you scared me to death! I thought you were your mother. Speaking of her, where is she? Why isn't she home? Has that old woman gotten too big for her britches lately? It's so late and she still isn't back."

Ye Feng took out his phone and said to his father, "Dad, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch it."

Seeing what Ye Feng was doing, Ye Yuanhai played dumb. "I said, where did your mother go? I miss her terribly when she's not home."

Seeing him like that, Ye Feng stopped teasing him. "Dad, Mom's downstairs singing with Uncle and the others."

"Singing? How come I can't hear anything? You're making fun of me again, aren't you, brat?"

With no other choice, Ye Feng took his father down to the basement. His father's eyes lit up at the sight of the wine cellar and KTV room.

"You little brat, why didn't you tell me sooner there was such a great place?" With that, he pushed open the door and went in to join them.

Ye Feng was at a loss. Didn't any of you look around when you moved in?

Early the next morning, Ye Wuhen headed straight to the Jin City Flower Base with Niuniu. Qian Zhongwen had already contacted them for him the day before, and they had arranged to discuss the matter in detail at nine in the morning.

After identifying himself to the security guard, Ye Wuhen was shown into the conference room.

"Mr. Ye, welcome! Please, have a seat. Ever since I received Master Qian's call yesterday, I've been looking forward to your arrival. I didn't expect you to be so young," Huang Jinchang said warmly.

"Mr. Huang, let's not beat around the bush. Name your price for this flower base. Since Old Qian came to you, I trust you won't open your mouth like a lion."

Huang Jinchang had calculated the price the day before: the entire base was worth 5.5 billion. But he still wanted to try for more. After all, nobody had a grudge against money.

"Mr. Ye, I built the Jin City Flower Base with my own hands. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to sell it. But Master Qian came to me, and I have to give him that face. How does six billion Huaxia Currency sound?" Huang Jinchang watched Ye Wuhen nervously, afraid he had asked too much and made him unhappy.

"Mr. Huang, prepare the contract." The price was a little high, but still within a reasonable range, so Ye Wuhen agreed. After all, Ye Feng, that damn big spender, had told him to secure the flower base at any cost.

[Congratulations, host. You have spent 6 billion Huaxia Currency and received 600 billion Huaxia Currency in cashback. It has been deposited into the Supreme Black Card ending in 8888.]

A system notification woke Ye Feng from his sleep. Seeing the enormous cashback, he immediately perked up. It seemed he really had chosen the right man in Ye Wuhen. In just two days, he had already earned him 800 billion in cashback.

His phone rang just then, and when he answered, Ye Wuhen's voice came through.

"Brother Ye, the Jin City Flower Base is ours. You can have Uncle Ye come take it over whenever you like."

"Brother Wuhen, you're incredibly efficient! I'll transfer you another sum. I'm going back to Demon City tomorrow, so I'll leave Jin City in your hands."

With that, Ye Feng transferred another 100 billion Huaxia Currency. He hoped Ye Wuhen would spend it all soon; then he would have enough cashback to upgrade the system.

"Brother Wuhen, I'll come over and have a look in a little while."

Downstairs, he found his parents chatting with Ye Lin. The relatives had already gone back to their respective homes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm planning to go back to Demon City tomorrow."

"Now that I think about it, your diploma should be ready by now. It's time you went back," his mother said.

"Bro, I want to go to Demon City with you too. I want to see what Demon City University is like. It's so boring at home." Ye Lin looked pitifully at Ye Feng while glancing repeatedly at her mother, as if asking for permission.

"All right, stop pretending. You can go, but you're not allowed to cause your brother any trouble," her mother said with a smile.

"Dad, let's go out for a bit. There's something I need to tell you."

His father left the house looking puzzled. Just as he was about to ask where they were going, Ye Feng said, "Dad, drive and follow me. I'm taking you somewhere nice."

The Jin City Flower Base wasn't far from East Lake Villas, and father and son arrived ten minutes later.

When they reached their destination, his father's eyes shone. As a longtime flower lover, he knew the place all too well.

"Xiao Feng, are you going to buy me flowers? That's my son, all right. You know how to look after your dad."

"Big Brother, Grandpa Ye, you're here! Come on over, the flowers in here are so pretty!" Niuniu came running over excitedly.

Ye Feng crouched down and picked Niuniu up, making her giggle.

Hearing Niuniu's laughter, Ye Wuhen came out as well.

"Uncle Ye, Brother Ye, come take a look around our flower base."

Ye Yuanhai was bewildered. Our flower base? Then something occurred to him, and he looked at Ye Feng excitedly.

"Dad, you'll be in charge of this place from now on. Do you like the gift?"

"I love it! I absolutely love it! Ha ha!" After his initial excitement, his father calmed down.

"Xiao Feng, can I really do it? I like growing flowers, and I'm pretty good at it, but this is cultivation on a massive scale. I'm afraid I won't do a good job, and it would be a shame for the flowers."

Hearing his concern, Ye Wuhen reassured him. "Uncle Ye, don't worry. All the technical staff have been kept on. There are specialists in charge of large-scale cultivation and care."

Hearing this, his father was reassured. He happily accepted the enormous gift, then left them behind and took Niuniu off to admire the flowers and plants.

Looking at how Ye Wuhen was dressed, Ye Feng said helplessly, "Brother Wuhen, I know what kind of person you are. You don't like accepting favors, so how about I give you a raise? Let's make it an annual salary of 20 million, with bonuses on top. You're the head of our Universe Investment Company now. It's time you changed your wardrobe, and that old Santana of yours needs replacing too. Otherwise, people will think our company lacks strength. Hire a secretary and an assistant to help with some of your work. They can help look after Niuniu too. I'm not discussing this with you; it's an assignment. Go take care of it this afternoon, and buy Niuniu a few outfits while you're at it. Just put it on the company account."

"Brother Ye, there's really no need. You should know that we martial artists don't care about these things."

"You're a martial artist, but Niuniu isn't, is she? You have to think about her. She'll be starting school soon, and you don't want her classmates looking down on her, do you? Brother Wuhen, please stop refusing. If you refuse again, it means you don't see me as a brother."

"All right!" In the end, Ye Wuhen could only agree. He didn't have to do it for himself, but for Niuniu's sake, he had to accept. He would always remember the kindness in his heart.
