The next morning, Xia Yu, who had adjusted to the time difference, woke up on time. Instead of going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he drove directly to take his parents to the street for breakfast.
Soy milk, fried dough sticks and pan-fried buns, all three of them were full after eating the whole set.
"Ding, your debit card account 6275 received RMB 200,000 via UnionPay on July 30th, and the balance after the transaction is RMB 201,784.22 [China Construction Bank]"
Lin Shuqin had just finished breakfast and had not yet paid the bill when she received this text message on her mobile phone. She subconsciously looked at her son who was fiddling with his phone.
"Did you transfer these 200,000?"
"Well, it's to show my respect to you two elders."
Xia Yu nodded and said that this money was the salary he had just received after signing in today. He transferred it to his mother before he could even warm it up.
Even if it's just one day's salary, his filial piety is evident to all.
"We don't want your money. We have everything at home, and you keep sending it home. I'd better give it to you!"
Lin Shuqin refused.
She and Lao Xia both have salaries, and will have pensions when they retire. Since they can't help their son at all, they should not use his money. This is what the two of them discussed last night.
"No, Mom, I don't need this little money, so just take it. If you don't want to buy food or drinks, just use it to replace the appliances at home. It will make me feel comfortable when I go back."
Xia Yu's house had been renovated before, but the electrical appliances had not been replaced, so this was a good opportunity to replace them all at once.
As for why he didn't buy a new house for his family when he already had three properties in Shanghai, it wasn't because he was stingy, but it was difficult to convince his parents without a reason.
The couple exchanged glances and finally agreed. However, whether they would use the 200,000 yuan would only be known when Xia Yu returned next time.
After breakfast, Xia Yu acted as a driver and drove onto the highway. He stopped at a farm on the way to buy some vegetables, eggs and milk, and then drove his parents back to their hometown.
The appointment with Jiang Baiying was at the end of the month, so Xia Yu didn't need to rush back today.
In the afternoon, Xia Yu called Lin Hao, who was lying dead at home, out and went to the Internet cafe together to spend the whole afternoon.
In the evening, the two of them had a barbecue together and talked about a lot of things that happened in the past.
"Old Xia, what kind of mine did your father invest in in Africa? Tell me about it!"
Lin Hao, who had endured not asking for the entire afternoon, finally couldn't help it.
Xia Yu had said before that he would come back and talk to him about this matter in detail, but now that he is back, he is just beating around in circles.
"It's just a small mine, not very large."
"I asked what kind of mine it was, not its size!"
The value of different types of minerals of the same scale varies greatly, so they need to be viewed in combination.
"Gold mine."
This time Xia Yu did not continue to beat around the bush, but went straight to the point, and Lin Hao instantly lost his composure.
He had thought about common minerals such as copper and iron, but not gold. However, the reality was too magical.
"Then...then why were you so poor in high school?"
Xia Yu was indeed poor in high school. He didn't even have money to buy milk tea for his girlfriend. He was afraid that he would go bankrupt without his parents and teachers stopping him.
"How would I know this? My parents didn't tell me!"
Xia Yu still put the blame on Lao Xia and Lin Shuqin, and went to Africa together, which completely confirmed their status as tools.
Lin Hao is now like Da Fei and the others before, but with Xia Yu providing more information, he can also imagine more things.
Seeing how serious he was in deep thought, Xia Yu didn't want to disturb him and just cleared away the remaining skewers on the table.
"Damn it! You're so rich, yet you're still trying to steal my meat!"
By the time Lin Hao came to his senses, it was too late. There were only two strings of green leeks left on the plate.
"It's just a few skewers of meat. You can treat me this time. I'll treat you to something delicious when I come back for the New Year."
Xia Yu said shamelessly as he took out a toothpick to pick his teeth.
What is money? No matter how much money you have, it can’t buy the happiness of eating for free.
"New Year's Eve? You're leaving tomorrow?"
Lin Hao picked up a bunch of leeks and asked.
The time span is so long, and based on his understanding of Xia Yu, he thinks this kid must have escaped.
"Yes, I'm busy with work. Someone in Modu invited me to dinner tomorrow, and I can't make it in time."
"You're such a boaster! What business do you have in Magic Energy? It's not like mothers-in-law are lining up to treat you to a meal, is it?"
Lin Hao obviously didn't believe it and directly teased Xia Yu.
"It's not that long of a queue, but I really have to leave tomorrow."
Xia Yu was not annoyed. Unlike others, his best friend had not changed at all. He had not distanced himself from him because of his family background, and he had not changed now that he had become successful.
This made Xia Yu feel very comfortable. Only friendship like this can last long!
After eating the skewers, the two of them strolled in the park in the city center until almost nine o'clock before returning home.
After returning home and lying down for a night, he drove back to Shanghai early the next morning.
This time, Xia Yu didn't even go home, but went straight to Xia Ji.
He hasn't appeared for more than half a month, so as the boss he has to show up and see how Secretary Jiang is doing.
They arrived at Xia Ji's door at 11:30, which was the peak dining time. Xia Yu secretly peeked inside from the window, looking just like his high school class teacher back then.
The entire first-floor lobby was busy yet orderly, without any sign of panic, and was much better than before he left.
At the same time, the flow of customers has stabilized, the turnover rate is not low, as soon as one table leaves, another table takes over, and there are many people waiting at the door.
Xia Yu even found some acquaintances inside, the pair of sisters who had previously complained about the high prices. He didn't expect them to come and eat again.
She wanted to go up and say hello, but thinking that the other person was coveting her beauty, Xia Yu said nothing and went straight to the back door to enter the restaurant.
“Boss, boss…”
Seeing that it was Xia Yu, the employees shouted.
"Okay, okay, everyone has done a great job in the past two weeks. I've seen it all. Let's give out bonuses this month!"
As long as the employees do a good job, Xia Yu will not be stingy with bonuses. When he said this, he received cheers from everyone again.
Team building is all fake, only real money is real. No one likes a boss who can only make empty promises.
Xia Yu never makes empty promises and always talks about money instead of feelings, so he is naturally loved by everyone. But among so many employees, there is one who doesn't talk about money.
"Boss, do I get a bonus too?"
As soon as everyone dispersed, Secretary Jiang appeared from somewhere.
"Yes, what bonus do you want?"
Xia Yu asked with a smile. After not seeing each other for half a month, he found that Jiang Baiying's eyes were more lively than before.
This is not an illusion. Greeting and seeing off guests and handling various trivial matters in a restaurant is more challenging than reading alone, and the mental outlook is naturally different.
"Hmm...I don't know either?"
This is a very typical answer of Jiang Baiying. Her family is well-off and she has never lacked money. However, as a person with low desires, she doesn't have anything special to want, so she is stuck now.
