What do you want to do?
Fang Xueting asked in confusion.
"I want to create a platform, a circle for us, the ordinary folks."
Xu Zheng said with a serious expression.
How much do you need?
How many are in your home?
Fang Xueting held up three fingers.
"How many digits is 'Mom' in the name?"
"Nine figures."
Xu Xiu just took a sip of tea and immediately spat it out.
Looking at Fang Xueting with an incredulous expression, she said, "Mom, what's the point of me trying? I might as well just lie down and be done with it!"
“If you’re going to do this, Dad and I will just close the factory, keep some money for our retirement, and donate the rest.”
Fang Xueting said in a very serious tone.
"No, Mom, my dear mom, I was just joking!"
Xu Xiu quickly stepped forward to massage Fang Xueting's back; after all, this was a very wealthy man.
"Mom, the factory struggled to pay wages six months ago. How could they have made so much money in just six months? I don't believe it."
"Of course it wasn't earned recently. This money is what we've been saving for you to get married. Don't you like Qianxue from the Liu family?"
"You can't even think about getting in without some capital. With this money, at least you still have a chance."
"Why do you think your dad didn't replace that beat-up Volkswagen before? Don't we know how to enjoy life? It's all for you, you brat."
"If you were dating an ordinary girl, would we need to go through all this trouble?"
Upon hearing Fang Xueting's words, Xu Xiu slowly stopped what he was doing. He suddenly remembered something from his previous life. When his company was facing a crisis, a sum of over 100 million yuan was suddenly invested in through an investment company.
Without making any demands or asking for shares, he and several senior executives were hesitant to accept the money initially. Only after repeatedly confirming that it was not illegal funds or the work of competitors did they finally accept it, helping the company overcome its difficulties.
Looking back now, I realize that only my parents would do something like that. The reason I broke ties with my parents was because the family went bankrupt, but now I realize it wasn't because the factory went bankrupt at all.
It's likely that my parents closed the factory and sold off most of their assets because business was bad, and they haven't touched that money since.
As for the reason...
Thinking back to his past life as a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy, handing the factory over to him would have meant it would have gone bankrupt without him.
It seems that in my past life, my parents wanted to leave me without support and cut off my future. However, because of this incident, Liu Qianxue accidentally believed that her family had gone bankrupt and had nothing, and that she herself was idle and doing nothing all day.
Looking back, I realize I really did create all this mess myself. Luckily, I had the chance to be reborn. I'll repay the debt I owed my parents in my past life in this one.
Seeing Xu Xiu standing behind me in a daze, I wondered what he was thinking.
Fang Xueting turned around and said, "Since you don't like Qianxue now and don't plan to marry her in the future, there's no point in keeping this money. You can use it to invest, acquire, or start your own business, it's up to you."
“Your father and I are still young. We can help you guard this small plot of land. At least we will leave you a way out. In addition, the business you have brought to the factory in the past six months is no less than that of the Liu family before, and the profits are incomparable.”
“Actually, if you don’t start a business or anything and just focus on running this factory well, our family can live a comfortable life.”
"Mom, you're being narrow-minded. With our current revenue, we're not just living a comfortable life, we're practically a small-time tycoon!"
"Mom, I have my own ideals and ambitions, and thank you for giving me such a high starting point."
"Thank you for all the hard work these past few years. I was young and immature a few years ago and often made you angry, but don't worry, I will take care of this family from now on."
"You have sheltered me from the wind and rain since I was a child, and I will be your support in the future."
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Fang Xueting felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Tinglong sat beside the mother and son, listening to their conversation without saying a word, and kept smoking.
But when she heard the last part, she couldn't help but stand up, walk to the window, and silently wipe away her tears.
Fang Xueting calmed herself down and then asked, "What's the first thing to do with the money?"
"Of course I'd buy a luxury car, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, or something..."
"Ouch, Mom, go easy on me."
Before Xu Xiu could finish speaking, he was beaten.
"Mom was just kidding. Those sports cars have low chassis, making them uncomfortable to sit in, and their off-road capability is poor. I wouldn't buy one even if I had the money."
"If I'm going to buy one, it should be a Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a chauffeur. If I want to drive it myself, I'll buy a Rolls-Royce Cullinan..."
"Oh dear, why is Mom hitting me again?"
"Dad, don't you do anything about your wife? Look at her, she's always touching me inappropriately, she's not ladylike at all."
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, Xu Tinglong, like a frightened bird, quickly walked out of the office, closing the door behind him.
Xu Tinglong cursed at the door, "This damn son of mine, I don't even want to give him money anymore."
After being beaten by Fang Xueting for a while, Xu Xiu felt quite comfortable. It wasn't that he was cheap, but rather that he owed them from his past life. Being beaten made him feel better.
After their playful banter, Xu Xiu began to seriously discuss his plans with Fang Xueting. Fang Xueting didn't know much about the internet and only knew how to work in the physical world, so she didn't quite understand much of what he was saying.
Xu Xiu explained things very logically and showed her a lot of data on his computer. From a feasibility standpoint, his son's plan had a high chance of success.
She was also surprised, as her son had just started university and suddenly knew so many professional terms; she had no idea where these ideas came from.
Moreover, ever since she returned home a few months before the college entrance examination, she felt that her son had changed, becoming more mature and sensible, and seemed to have grown up instantly.
This is also the motivation that has kept her up early and working late every day for the past six months, because she has seen hope, and her son's growth is her hope for the future.
Xu Xiu and Fang Xueting chatted for more than two hours. When they saw that it was time for dinner, Xu Xiu said he would go to the cafeteria to cook two dishes for them.
After all, as a supplier, he, as a distributor, had to curry favor with him.
Hearing her son's words, Fang Xueting was overjoyed, her face beaming with uncontrollable laughter, though she still wanted to refuse.
After saying that, Xu Xiu went straight to the cafeteria. After Xu Xiu left the office, Xu Tinglong slowly returned, and both of them had an incredulous expression.
There were surveillance cameras in the office, and Xu Tinglong heard the entire conversation between Xu Xiu and Fang Xueting through the monitoring app on his phone.
Upon arriving at the canteen kitchen, several chefs noticed that Xu Xiu looked unfamiliar and asked him what he did, explaining that unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter the kitchen without permission.
Xu Xiu said he was there to cook a special meal for President Xu, but the chefs looked at Xu Xiu's still-youthful face with puzzled expressions.
"Where did this little brat come from? Go away, don't make fun of us, we're busy."
Just then, the head chef received a call from Xu Tinglong, saying that someone was coming to the kitchen to cook a special meal for him. The head chef glanced at the young man in front of him and quickly replied with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Xu, I saw him. Don't worry, I'll arrange it. Oh, okay, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, the head chef stepped forward and said sternly, "Young man, here's a pot for you. The tools are all over the place. Go get whatever you want to cook."
After speaking, he pointed to an empty pot not far away.
