Aunt Zhou was still talking to her son at home: "No matter what, that mother and daughter are still lucky. They bought a small apartment, which is worth a lot of money."

You should know that Bai Yan and her daughter used to be the ones who suffered the most in their small old district.

That little girl used to own less than two bright clothes, and her mother was even worse off; in earlier years, she couldn't even afford meat for the Lunar New Year!

Thinking about this, Aunt Zhou felt jealous. She herself lived in a room that required going upstairs, while Bai's mother had moved into an apartment before her!

"Hey, when will your big apartment be finished?" She was so eager to go out and show it off.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand: "What's the rush? Once our company's new 'Final Battle' is released, I'll get at least five million in bonuses. Then I can spend more money on embellishments."

"You got such a big bonus?" Aunt Zhou's eyes widened.

"Our engineer Liu appreciates me, and he let me invest in the 'Final Battle' project," Zhou Yuan said proudly. "I mortgaged my house and invested ten million!"

Aunt Zhou's eyes widened when she heard this: "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me earlier?"

"What's there to discuss? It's a sure-fire investment!"

Zhou Yuan explained to his mother briefly: "It's that game Bai Yan made before. Didn't she get two million? That game is really popular. Now we're copying it, and we're guaranteed to make a profit!"

"Huh?" Zhou's mother's eyes widened: "Didn't you say that Bai Yan, that big boss, was helping her steal your boss?"

Zhou Yuan, who worked as Liu Guoping's assistant, knew some of the inside story. He just smiled grimly and said, "Mom, the people above are making trouble, and Bai Yan has become the scapegoat who was pushed downstairs."

So what's the point of getting better grades than him? What's the point of creating a wildly popular game?

Who would believe her, a young girl?

Thinking about the "final battle" that would soon become a hit based on the phrase "Contending for the Central Plains," Zhou Yuan smiled smugly again.

"Cars, so many cars!"

"That's a luxury car, isn't it? I've seen it featured on TV!"

"It's that Rolls-Royce, it's incredibly expensive, worth tens of millions!"

Just then, the roar of sports cars outside the residential area came in waves, along with a cacophony of voices discussing the matter.

Aunt Zhou, being very curious, soon poked her head out of her house.

Bai's mother was also shocked to see the man who had just approached her. Not to mention how incredibly handsome he was, he was dressed like a movie star, and he was followed by seven or eight bodyguards. She even held her breath.

Shen Wuye took off his sunglasses and smiled at Bai's mother: "Hello, Auntie, I am Shen Wuye."

"You... hello, who are you..."

"Mom, he's President Shen, my boss," Bai Yan explained to the two of them with a smile.

Bai's mother was startled, and then she thought of the recent rumors circulating online that this Mr. Shen had been standing by her daughter's side and had even said he would sue those people...

Bai's mother may not know much else, but she believes that the daughter she raised would not steal or rob as the internet claims.

"Mr. Shen, thank you so much! Thank you for giving my daughter such a high priority, and thank you for trusting her!"

Bai's mother quickly wiped her hands, and Shen Wuye, not daring to relax, immediately grasped them.

Bai's mother feared that if Shen Wuye was criticized for too long, she might actually stop caring about her daughter, which would confirm the online rumors. Shen Wuye, on the other hand, feared that Bai's mother would dislike him because of the online comments; he appeared calm, but his heart was pounding.

"Mom, Mr. Shen came to help me move this time."

Bai Yan glanced at the people peeking in from outside and said with a smile, "Anyway, your little apartment isn't finished yet, and this place has stairs, so I'm worried about it. Luckily, the villa that President Shen gave me as a reward is still empty, so why don't you come and stay with me in the villa?"

"A villa..." someone at the door asked, "Boss, are you really going to give Bai Yan a villa?"

When Shen Wuye heard someone ask, he turned to look at him and said, "Yes. The villa is in Shengjing Garden in the eastern suburbs. I have already registered the name and property rights."

"Shengjing Garden!" The property rights there are worth hundreds of millions!

"How could that be? What's your relationship with Bai Yan? Did she pester you for it?" The big boss was dumbfounded to receive such an expensive house as a gift from his mistress.

Shen Wuye lowered his eyes slightly and then said, "It wasn't her who pestered me for it; it was me who insisted on giving it to her."

"What?"

“It’s not just one house.” As soon as Shen Wuye finished speaking, seven or eight bodyguards behind him brought out their briefcases: “There are also these.”

The bodyguards opened the suitcase, revealing stacks of cash that were practically blinding.

Bai's mother sat up unsteadily, but Bai Yan pressed her down to sit down again.

Shen Wuye continued, "Bai Gong is our Rimu's best employee, and someone I'm determined to retain. I don't want her to give up Rimu and this job because of what happened online."

"If I can retain people with money, then money is the last thing I lack."

"Bai Yan isn't your lover!" someone shouted.

Shen Wuye turned around and gave him a cold look: "These are just rumors on the internet. I've already hired a lawyer, and I believe there will be a result in a few days."

They were all ordinary residents, a little gossipy, but after being looked at like that by Shen Wuye, none of them dared to speak.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Shen!" Tears welled up in Bai's mother's eyes again. "Thank you so much!"

"Thank you for trusting Xiaoyan!"

She bowed in gratitude, and Shen Wuye, who had just exuded an aura of dominance, immediately bent down to shake her hand, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Bai Yan smiled and went over to help her mother up: "Mom, let's go, let's go stay at my villa."

The reason Bai's mother stayed here was twofold: firstly, to renovate, and secondly, because she had lived there for a long time and couldn't bear to leave her neighbors.

But now there's nothing I'm reluctant to part with.
