Chapter Nine: Fifty million for free, wow!
Xu Wang had no idea that this distribution of wedding candy had aroused the curiosity of many of Pei's employees.
Xu Wang exhaled and stretched his body, retracting his limbs.
Just as Xu Wang was about to sit down and meditate, his phone rang on the sofa.
Xu Wang walked to the sofa, picked up his phone, and swiped the screen to see the words "Father".
Xu Wang looked at the two words on his phone and suddenly remembered that although the original owner's role in the original story was not long, his family, the Xu family, was considered a minor cannon fodder family. After the original owner died, the Xu family always used the original owner's name to take advantage of the Pei family.
Pei Yanchuan didn't care about the marriage that was essentially non-existent with the original owner of the body, so he directly bankrupted the Xu family due to their repeated greed.
At the time, Xu's father scolded Pei Yanchuan for not showing any loyalty, but when Pei Yanchuan produced a list, Xu's father shut up. The list neatly listed all the projects and profits that the Xu family had obtained from the Pei family over the past few years.
Xu Wang was glad that he had been particularly fond of the villain Pei Yanchuan, so he paid extra attention whenever he saw his scenes.
Xu Wang remembered that the first project on that list that brought him a good deal was right now. The Xu family got a small project from the Pei family, and the project's profit was about 50 million yuan.
Xu Wang suddenly grinned mischievously. Since the other party had offered themselves up, he would gladly accept the 50 million.
Xu Wang answered the phone while sitting on the sofa.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Wang, it's your father." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
"Father, you finally called me. I thought you were selling your son for personal gain and didn't want him anymore." Xu Wang's face was full of sarcasm, but his voice was not.
"How...how could this be?"
At the Xu family home, Mr. Xu and his wife exchanged an awkward glance.
Xu's mother also looked embarrassed.
A boy who looked quite young was playing with a toy car next to the two of them.
"Mom, I want to eat three big lobsters today!" the boy shouted to his mother without looking up.
"Alright, alright, let Rui Rui eat the lobster." Xu's mother pulled her youngest son aside and whispered in his ear to comfort him.
Xu Wang also heard the boy's voice, which should be the original owner's alpha younger brother, Xu Rui.
Xu Rui's ending in the original story was extremely tragic. Because he was raised badly from a young age, he offended many people when he grew up. After the Xu family declined, he was beaten so badly that he lost his lower body and could not take care of himself.
"Father, how come I didn't know we were eating so well at home?" Xu Wang asked, feigning curiosity.
"Well, the company recently completed a project and made some money back," Mr. Xu said somewhat reluctantly.
"Oh, this is wonderful news! Father, why didn't you tell me?" Xu Wang's voice was full of sincerity.
"Now, I'm telling you now, aren't I? By the way, how are things between you and President Pei?" Mr. Xu awkwardly chuckled as he tried to steer the conversation back on track.
"It's alright..." Xu Wang's voice was a little downcast.
"What's wrong? Could it be that President Pei doesn't like you?" Mr. Xu immediately became anxious.
"No, President Pei and Grandpa have both been very good to me, it's just..." Xu Wang deliberately dragged out his words.
As expected, Xu's father was terrified by Xu Wang's words. If Xu Wang wasn't liked by the Pei family, how could our Xu family possibly establish that relationship?
"Forget it, I'd better not talk about it. It would only cause you more trouble." Xu Wang sighed.
"You good-for-nothing, cough, if the child has any problems, just tell the family. We'll definitely help if we can." Mr. Xu almost blurted out his true feelings, but thankfully he reacted quickly and saved the situation.
"Since you've said so, Father, then I'll say it." Xu Wang's smile didn't reach his eyes when he heard his father's words. What kind of bullshit is this? He even wants to curse me.
"you say."
"It's like this, the day before yesterday I met Uncle Pei and Aunt Mu. They immediately handed me a bank card as a wedding gift, and then they kept asking you and your mother if you had anything to say..." Xu Wang didn't finish his sentence, because sometimes it's the imagination that's the most terrifying thing.
As expected, Xu's father conjured up a scene in his mind. He even imagined the other person's disdainful look and how it would be disastrous if the other person attended a friend's gathering and revealed these things.
"No matter how much they give, our family may be small, but we can't let others look down on us." Mr. Xu's voice was filled with anger.
"Fifty million," Xu Wang stated the amount precisely.
"How much?" Upon hearing the amount, Mr. Xu's momentum instantly weakened, and he stammered.
“Fifty million, Father. I know the family’s situation isn’t good, so why don’t we just forget about it? After all, our Xu family isn’t exactly a big family. If we lose face, so be it.” Xu Wang’s voice was full of understanding.
Mr. Xu almost burst into a tirade, saying that the Xu family was not a big family and that he had arranged for Xu Wang to marry Pei Yanchuan just to put the entire Xu family into that glamorous circle.
“Yes, the Xu family can afford it.” When Mr. Xu said this, he seemed to have aged 10 years.
"Really? Father, that's wonderful!" Xu Wang's lips curled into a wide smile.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Xu gritted his teeth and asked the company's finance department to transfer the money.
"Old Xu, is it really worth it?" Xu's mother felt a sharp pain in her heart at the thought of the 50 million that had just arrived in her account now flying away again.
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Let's use it sparingly these few days, there will be plenty more in the future."
——————
It must be said that Xu's father was indeed someone who valued his reputation. Xu Wang soon received a bank notification that 50 million yuan had been deposited into his account.
Just as Xu Wang was about to put his phone away, a notification popped up on his phone; someone had tagged him.
Xu Wang clicked on it and laughed. His father wasn't entirely stupid. He had actually used the Xu family's company account to post a long article celebrating his marriage, of course, emphasizing the 50 million yuan as a wedding gift.
The comment section was filled with exclamations.
Xu Wang, in a good mood, commented "Thank you, Father" below.
After replying, Xu Wang exited the software and stood up. He stretched and yawned. The 50 million yuan had arrived. What should he do with the money?
Xu Wang thought of the empty refrigerator at home and decided to go to the supermarket for a big shopping trip. After all, it seemed that the first episode of the variety show was being filmed in their own homes, and what he had to do was to follow Zhong Ran's path and leave her with nowhere to go.
