"Hmph! He really is a good-for-nothing. His revenue in September was only a little over five hundred... What did you say?"
Wang Yaqin's expression changed drastically. "That little bastard's website has revenue of over five million?"
"Um."
Chen Shih-Han nodded.
"That's impossible! I heard financial experts on TV say yesterday that the difficulty in monetization is the biggest problem facing domestic websites! They also said that this is precisely why the Internet industry seems to be thriving, but in reality, it is struggling."
Wang Yaqin looked suspicious. "How come the situation changes when it comes to that little beast?"
"Shihan, did you mishear or misspoke?"
"That little bastard's website revenue is over five hundred yuan, not over five million, right?"
Chen Shih-han turned her head to the side and remained silent.
Wang Yaqin's question was too stupid; she couldn't be bothered to answer it.
I'm already in my twenties, and a white-collar elite who has been in the workplace for many years. How could I not be able to distinguish between five hundred yuan and five million yuan?
Furthermore, can we really trust those so-called "experts" on television programs?
They also said that eating breakfast on an empty stomach is bad for your health!
"mom……"
At this moment, Chen Siqi spoke up weakly, "Big sister didn't mishear or misspoke."
"Chen Feng... he's already driving a Porsche Cayenne."
"You don't know much about cars and are unaware of the price of a Porsche Cayenne."
"Let me put it this way, the on-road price of a Porsche Cayenne is close to one million..."
quiet.
An eerie silence.
The living room was so large you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Yaqin was stunned for a while before she finally came to her senses.
"No, I need to call Liqiang."
As she spoke, Wang Yaqin picked up her phone and called Chen Liqiang, who was far away in Jinglan County.
Like Wang Yaqin, Chen Liqiang also remained silent for a long time after hearing the news of Chen Feng's entrepreneurial success.
"Could it be... that our Chen family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke?"
After a long silence, Chen Liqiang mumbled something in a barely audible voice.
It sounded like he was asking Wang Yaqin a question, but it also sounded more like he was talking to himself.
"Liqiang, I still don't believe it."
Wang Yaqin squinted and said, "We all know what that little beast is capable of. He's not Haoran, he's incapable of anything."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siqi and Chen Shihhan exchanged a glance, their faces filled with helplessness.
The facts are right in front of her, yet her mother still refuses to believe that Chen Feng can succeed in starting a business.
"Liqiang, do you think someone might be secretly helping that little bastard?"
Wang Yaqin raised a question.
"Secretly helping Chen Feng?"
Chen Shihhan couldn't hold back any longer, "What do people who help Chen Feng get out of it?"
"What else could they be after?"
Wang Yaqin said in a serious tone, "Of course, they're using that little beast to plot against our Chen family."
"After all, Chen's Liqiang Supermarket is the largest chain retail enterprise in Jinglan County."
Chen Shih-han's lips twitched violently.
Wang Yaqin's guess was utterly absurd—it was absurd to the extreme!
This is an ancient city!
In the eyes of the merchants of the ancient city, what is the largest chain retail enterprise in Jinglan County, a tiny place?
Furthermore, after signing a compensation agreement with the parents of the "pregnant girl," Liqiang Supermarket's cash flow almost dried up, and even banks were unwilling to lend to Liqiang Supermarket. If Chen Liqiang hadn't borrowed high-interest loans from underground banks and secured an investment, Liqiang Supermarket would have either gone bankrupt or at least changed hands.
Who would scheme against a company like this?
However……
Even more outrageous things were yet to come.
"Yaqin, you really reminded me."
Chen Liqiang's voice came through, "I've thought about it, and it is indeed possible."
Chen Shih-han was devastated.
Chen Liqiang believed it.
He actually believed Wang Yaqin's outrageous guess!
"I knew it!"
Wang Yaqin slapped her thigh suddenly, "How could that good-for-nothing Chen Feng possibly succeed in starting a business?"
"The website Chen Feng founded is called Douyin."
Chen Shih-han took a deep breath. "It received a strong response as soon as it was launched. Ninety percent of the students in Gucheng Finance are active users of Douyin."
"Stop speaking up for that little beast."
Chen Liqiang on the other end of the phone retorted, "How long has Chen Feng been away from the Chen family? At most, it's only been three months, right?"
"What kind of website can generate five million in revenue within three months?"
"Shihan, you were also involved in the operation of your company. Did you not know, or did I not know? That's five million, not five hundred yuan!"
Wang Yaqin nodded in agreement, "Your dad is right, Shihan. I know you've always wanted Chen Feng to return to the Chen family, but you don't need to brag about him, do you?"
Chen Shihhan took out her phone and first sent the URL of Douyin to Chen Liqiang via text message. Then she opened the webpage and handed the phone to Wang Yaqin. "This is Douyin, founded by Chen Feng. You can see how prosperous and lively it is."
"I can't be bothered to look at that damn website."
Chen Liqiang said with a sneer, "Tell me, what methods did Chen Feng use to monetize it?"
"Through the website's advertising slots, all the businesses around Gucheng Finance are vying to advertise on Douyin."
"Attracting nearby businesses to advertise and making money through website ad space? Isn't this a scam?"
Chen Liqiang asked suspiciously.
He has run supermarkets his whole life, let alone been exposed to the internet economy. He rarely even goes online, so naturally he doesn't understand the most common way for websites to monetize, such as earning advertising fees.
"What? A scam?"
Wang Yaqin stood up abruptly. "I knew he wouldn't learn anything good. He's a disgrace!"
Even Chen Siqi couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this.
"My sister is right, prejudice really can kill a person."
Chen Siqi sighed silently to herself.
Where is Chen Feng now?
Wang Yaqin looked at her two daughters and said, "If I don't skin him alive, I'm not a Wang!"
Chen Siqi quickly said, "Mom, Chen Feng has long since severed ties with the Chen family."
"So what if we sever ties? If he causes trouble outside, won't he still implicate our Chen family?"
"Mom, how could you say that?"
Chen Shih-han frowned. "Chen Feng has succeeded."
"Where did it succeed? His so-called 'Voice' is just a fraudulent trick!"
Wang Yaqin scoffed, "Revenue of over five million? They might lose it all by tomorrow! In that case, won't the Chen family be the ones to bail them out?"
Chen Shih-han opened her mouth as if to speak, but the words failed her.
She understood that no matter what she said, she wouldn't change her mother's mind.
"Siqi".
Chen Liqiang's voice rang out, "Didn't I tell you to bring Chen Feng to your mother? How did that go?"
"I……"
Just as Chen Siqi was about to answer, Chen Shihan interrupted, "Chen Feng is very hostile towards Siqi, so let me handle this task."
