"Alright then. By the way, Son, do you still have money at school? I'll transfer some to you."

Luofeng chuckled and said, "May I ask, Dad, how much are you planning to send?"

Then again, Dad must be feeling on top of the world. After all, their small Jiamei Construction Company was suddenly selected for the West City Development Plan, a massive project with a total budget of 200 billion. How could he not be ecstatic?

Of course, Luofeng had only just then realized the company actually belonged to his dad. He'd always assumed his dad was just a senior executive. Initially, his dad was indeed a senior executive, but he also held one percent of the shares. But as the company grew and his stake increased over the years, he had become the largest shareholder two years ago. The previous owner of this body, that guy, had somehow been completely clueless about all this.

Of course, the company wasn't *that* big; Luofeng wasn't about to instantly become some tycoon like Principal Wang.

"Just name a number!" Luo Lin said generously.

"How about three million? I'm planning to buy a car!" Luofeng said casually.

"What? You want that much?"

Luofeng replied, "I want to buy an Audi!"

"What kind of Audi costs that much? Two or three million is impossible unless we get the profits from the West City Development project!"

Luofeng laughed. "Alright, Dad, I was just kidding. I've also made a bit of money from investments recently."

"Oh? How much?"

"Almost a small fortune!"

"..." Luo Lin was speechless. Seriously? He was supposed to be sharing good news with his son, right? How did his son's news end up being even more incredible?

This just proved the old saying. If your son is successful, it doesn't matter how much money you make. And if your son isn't successful, it *still* doesn't matter how much money you make...

"Anyway, Dad, don't ask too many questions. Everything is legal and above board. If you're still worried, I have plenty of receipts you can look over!"

"Alright then. I was originally planning to give you five hundred thousand, but not anymore. It's become my private stash now," Luo Lin said with a laugh.

"Dad, your thinking is a bit off!" Luofeng said. "Anyway, if Mom asks, I'll have to tell her the truth, so you better figure out what you're going to do!"

"..."

Luo Lin sighed. It was tough. After all, for a married man, saving a little extra money really wasn't easy.

After Luofeng ended the call with his dad, he sent a message to a few people in their group chat. Specifically, to his friends in Capital City.

Luofeng: West City Development Plan? What do you guys think?

Luofeng didn't spell it out, but by mentioning it, the others would know he was aware of the situation.

Li Bo Kai: Hehe!

Lin Xiaoyun: You found out so quickly?

So, Luofeng realized they were the ones who had given his dad a push behind the scenes.

Li Bo Kai readily admitted, "It was mainly Lin Xiaoyun who initiated it. All three of us pitched in, but Lin Xiaoyun did most of the heavy lifting."

Lin Xiaoyun: "Don't mention it! You put in a lot of effort too, Li Bo Kai!"

Luofeng: Where's Brother Dali?

Lin Xiaoyun: "Don't even ask. That guy's been all caught up in romance lately. It's making me sick!"

Luofeng: ???

Li Bo Kai: "Romance? What romance? He's been stuck at home lately, getting tag-teamed by his siblings! It's hilarious!"

Lin Xiaoyun: I heard he's out five million!

Luofeng was at a loss for words. It really seemed better to be an only child, without so many siblings. "Thanks, you three!"

Lin Xiaoyun: "No need to thank us. We owed you a big one from before, didn't we?"

Chen Dali finally chimed in: "Little Bro, we've prepared a big gift for you this weekend. Are you going to fly over?"

Luofeng: "Sounds good, I'll make arrangements for the weekend!"

...

"Hey, Li Hu, what's the deal with you and Liu Yue from Bai Lu's dorm?"

"What deal? Are you guys nuts?"

After Luofeng finished chatting with his buddies from Capital City, he saw Wang Gui teasing Li Hu.

Luofeng knew Liu Yue too. She was about 1.59 meters tall. And weighed 62 kilograms. Someone without tact would say she was too chubby. Someone with more tact might teasingly ask, "Classmate, that double chin of yours... it wasn't surgically enhanced, was it? And that impressive potbelly, is it an implant?"

As for Li Hu? He was over 1.75 meters tall. His weight was well-proportioned at 70 kilograms. No matter how you sliced it, he was a pretty boy.

"No deal? But you two seem to be hitting it off in the class group chat, don't you?" Wang Gui probed.

"Hitting it off? We're just casually chatting," Li Hu said, exasperated.

Luofeng, seeing how things stood, chimed in, "Li Hu, I think you've struck out with this social mixer. The girl's already making her move. Since you're the guy, why not just say yes?"

"No, no, no! I really can't handle her," Li Hu said, quickly shaking his head.

"Let's talk about Ding Tian Tian and Yang Xiaohui instead!" Li Hu quickly changed the subject, referring to Bai Lu's other two roommates. "Now, those two are more of the demure, pretty type."

At this, Zhang Long's interest was piqued.

But Wang Gui started teasing, "They look taller than Zhang Long!"

"Screw you!" Zhang Long rolled his eyes.

"By the way, I'm skipping today's social. Li Shenshi can pick up the tab anyway!" Luofeng suddenly announced.

"Luofeng, do you have something else on?" Li Hu asked.

"A five o'clock plane to Capital City!" Luofeng nodded.

The other three didn't press for details and started discussing the plans for the social event.

Luofeng had originally planned to look into buying property in Shu City this week, but now everything had to be postponed.

「On the way to the airport」 Luofeng called Duanmu Yunji.

"Hello, who is this?" Duanmu Yunji asked, feigning ignorance.

"Hmm? Who do you think?" Luofeng said with a chuckle.

"Wrong number? Seriously, who is this?"

"Alright, alright, stop teasing." Luofeng rolled his eyes. "Yunji, my plane today is expected to land in Capital City at 7 PM."

"Really?" Duanmu Yunji sounded excited.

"Of course! Yunji, you have to come pick me up later, okay?" Luofeng pleaded pitifully.

"What about those 'brothers' of yours?" Duanmu Yunji countered.

"Ugh, don't even mention them. That ragtag crew of mine. When it really matters, I still need my Yunji to come get me."

"Alright, alright, I'll head over later. Send me a picture of your boarding pass when you get through security," Duanmu Yunji said.

"Okay. And I haven't had dinner yet, Yunji. Can you arrange for us to get some Fish Visceral Organs?" Luofeng asked.

"Mhm, got it!" Duanmu Yunji replied, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry.

"See you in a bit!"

"Mhm!" Duanmu Yunji responded sweetly.
