So after a brief hesitation, Kang Jingchun looked towards Yang Hao, “Yang, who is this young man?”
“Grandpa, he is my disciple. Keep the red envelope for yourself.”
Of course, Yang Hao knew what Kang Jingchun was thinking and immediately responded with a cheerful expression.
“I didn’t expect you to have taken on a disciple, Yang.”
“Good, this kid looks promising.”
Kang Jingchun praised, then took the red envelope from Qin Feng’s hand, “Thank you, young man. Remember to come to the hotel tomorrow for the banquet and drinks.”
“Sure thing, great-grandpa, I’ll definitely be there!”
Qin Feng had been waiting for these words. Although Kang Jingchun didn’t say it, he could have brazenly shown up tomorrow, but now that the old man had spoken, he had even more legitimacy.
After receiving Kang Jingchun’s invitation, Qin Feng politely said a few more words and then tactfully left.
This was the People of Kang Family, and after all, it was not too convenient for him to be the only outsider.
“Dad, see how much money Qin gave!”
“It needs to be accounted for in the ledger so that I can return the favor later.”
After Qin Feng had left, Kang Zhichao came up and said.
His suggestion seemed normal enough, but there was a hidden agenda because he said, “so that I can return the favor later.”
There was meaning behind this statement.
Theoretically, whoever returns the gift should be the one who keeps the gifts received.
Now, since his son was to return the favor, logically, the birthday gifts should also belong to him!
Kang Zhichao was subtly laying the groundwork.
In fact, before Yang Hao arrived, Kang Zhichao had no intention of focusing on the birthday gifts because, given the Kang Family’s situation, the amount of birthday gifts wouldn’t be significant. After deducting the money for the banquet, there wouldn’t be much left, and the gift money would just be left for the old man to buy health supplements or pay for medical expenses.
But the situation had changed. Due to Yang Hao’s arrival, the value of the birthday gifts had multiplied several times over.
Kang Zhichao then set his sights on the birthday gifts.
The old man, Kang Jingchun, could easily see through his younger son Kang Zhichao’s intentions. He weighed the red envelope in his hand and said, “It’s only right to record how much Qin gave as a gift.”
“But since the gift was given because of Yang, Yang should be the one to return the favor in the future. So, Yang, you take the money.”
As he said this, Kang Jingchun directly stuffed the red envelope into Yang Hao’s hands.
“Grandpa, you should keep the red envelope,”
“If there’s ever a need to return the favor, I’ll let you know.”
Yang Hao, of course, wouldn’t take the red envelope, and he had guessed Kang Jingchun’s intentions, knowing that the old man was just making his stance clear.
Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is!
Yang Hao couldn’t help but silently marvel in his mind.
With just a casual remark, Kang Jingchun won this father-son power struggle.
In ordinary families with many siblings, such matters are quite common. Sometimes the struggle is not just between brothers over inheritance, but also between parents and children over financial interests.
When there are many children involved, preferences come into play, and some elderly may simply favor a particular child and wish to leave the estate to that child. Naturally, the others would be unwilling if the elderly person doesn’t want to divide the estate.
Although Kang Jingchun didn’t particularly favor any of his children, like most elderly people, he did tend to lean more towards his two sons, especially the elder son Kang Zhifei, who was intelligent and successful in business.
As for the younger son Kang Zhichao, who was closer by, since his daughter-in-law Wang Huixin was too opportunistic, he was rather reluctant to give the little inheritance he had to them.
Kang Zhichao, of course, understood his father’s underlying message, but he didn’t mind. After all, his father was already eighty years old, and as the son who was by his side, there would be plenty of opportunities to get money.
In front of everyone, Kang Zhichao opened Qin Feng’s red envelope, which contained exactly ten thousand yuan.
For an average family, this was already a generous gift, so the Kang Family members were quite surprised.
“Yang, what exactly does your little disciple do?”
“He said he opened some kind of media company. Do those media companies make a lot of money?”
Kang Huimin approached Yang Hao, full of curiosity.
“His media company is probably doing quite well right now, with annual earnings that should be in the tens of millions.”
Yang Hao didn’t know the actual earnings of Qin Feng’s company and gave an estimate.
However, his words still shocked the members of the Kang Family.
Just moments ago, Qin Feng was running around, extremely courteous to everyone, and looking very humble.
And yet, it turned out that this same person was a millionaire with an annual income in the tens of millions!
That is to say, the person driving for Yang Hao is earning tens of millions a year!
That’s just terrifying!
“Qin is actually making tens of millions a year…”
Zhao Hongbo was the most incredulous of all, having just helped move the birthday gift. Because he treated Qin Feng as a driver, he even directed him around, and even spoke down to him in a condescending tone.
At that time, Qin Feng didn’t say a word and simply followed Zhao Hongbo’s commands, with a very good attitude to boot.
Zhao Hongbo even got a kick out of playing the boss for a bit.
Little did he know that the person he was directing was a young tycoon making tens of millions a year, and the guy was in his twenties at that, with a future that was immeasurably bright!
“Second Aunt, don’t you guys use Kuaiyin?”
“Search his name on Kuaiyin, there are many videos about him.”
Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
“Qin himself is an internet celebrity!”
Kang Huimin and the others did use Kuaiyin, but their interests were in completely different lanes than Qin Feng’s, so it was natural they didn’t come across him.
However, now, after hearing what Yang Hao said, Kang Huimin and others like Kang Huifen instinctively opened Kuaiyin and searched for Qin Feng’s name.
Then, Kang Huifen was the first to exclaim in astonishment, “Qin is actually the number one rich second generation in Hucheng!”
“That must mean he’s very wealthy! It’s probably more than just tens of millions a year!!”
The videos Kang Huimin scrolled through appertained to Qin Feng’s daily life displays.
“Wow, look at these luxury cars and mansions!”
“So, our little Qin is a super-rich tycoon too!”
After watching a few videos related to Qin Feng, everyone was all the more astounded.
If you were to judge just from the videos, they wouldn’t even think that Qin Feng was any less impressive than Yang Hao. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
And yet, here was this “number one rich second generation in Hucheng,” this “super-rich tycoon,” willing to be Yang Hao’s driver and follower.
This spoke volumes about how formidable Yang Hao’s current strength must be.
Now, I’m not even good enough to be his driver.
Sitting in a corner of the sofa, Li Manshu’s face showed a look of despair; after all, she was aware of who Qin Feng was, as he catered to gold diggers, with more than half of his fans being such.
However, Li Manshu had a sense of self-awareness; she would merely glance over Qin Feng when perusing Kuaiyin, knowing someone of that “number one rich second generation in Hucheng” caliber wouldn’t take interest in her.
What she didn’t expect was that, the highly-followed “number one rich second generation in Hucheng” on Kuaiyin, was just someone fit to drive her ex-husband Yang Hao around.
“Yang, what’s in this case?”
“Is it also a birthday gift?”
After a moment of sighing, Kang Huimin pointed to the coded case Qin Feng left for Yang Hao and asked.
“Yeah.”
Yang Hao nodded and said, “Manni mentioned that grandpa likes to smoke and drink, so I bought these cigarettes and alcohol on a whim.”
“The real birthday gift is inside the case.”
With that, Yang Hao placed the coded case on the coffee table.
Hearing his words, the People of Kang Family were shocked once more.
The cigarettes and alcohol were just bought on a whim?
You have to realize, the value of these casually bought cigarettes and alcohol is equivalent to the income of an ordinary worker for four or five years!
It just goes to show, the world of the wealthy is just not something ordinary people can understand!
But Yang Hao’s words had just piqued everyone’s curiosity, with all eyes now converging on the coded case.
Yang Hao didn’t keep them in suspense, though. After entering the code Qin Feng had told him, the case clicked open.
Eight shiny gold bars then came into everyone’s view.
A brief silence ensued in the living room, followed by a chorus of astonished cries:
“Holy shit!”
“Gold bars!”
“And there’s eight of them!!”
