47: Chapter 47 Scared to Death 47: Chapter 47 Scared to Death “Hey, Guangzi, what’s up?
Are you running out of money?
Let me make it clear first, no asking for money if you don’t have a girlfriend.”
Zhao Guang was exasperated, “So it’s unacceptable if I have a boyfriend?
By the way, I’ve been thinking about making some transgender friends.”
“That’s fine too, come back and talk to your dad about it.
He’s already got the hoe ready and waiting for you.”
That’s a warning of broken legs, isn’t it?
How harsh.
Zhao Guang hastened to change the subject, “Let’s talk business.
I’ve just made some money and sent some home.
Check it out for yourself, and if you need anything, go ahead and buy it.”
“Not bad, kid, you finally know how to send money home.”
“I’ve got another thing to deal with, hanging up now.” Zhao Guang quickly ended the call.
He didn’t do anything else but sat in front of his phone, counting quietly under his breath.
When he reached the count of 83, the phone rang.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Guang muttered to himself, “This is for your own good, you’ve got to train your heart first, otherwise you won’t be able to handle the stress later on, right?” Looking at the phone, this time it was his dad calling.
No sooner had he answered the call than the voice on the other end started shouting, “Guangzi, what’s going on?
How come you’ve suddenly sent a million?
Did you make a mistake, or what’s the reason?
What exactly are you doing out there…”
The voice of Lao Zhao was mixed with that of his mother, and the other end was in utter chaos.
It’s a good thing my older sister hasn’t come back to her parents’ house, otherwise the scene at home would be even more lively.
His ear a good distance from the phone, waiting until the voices on the other end had quietened down, guessing they had vented enough, Zhao Guang then spoke up, “Everyone calm down, listen to me.”
“How could your son possibly be involved in illegal activities?
Even if I had the guts, I’d need the connections, right?”
Feeling the parents calming down on the other end, Zhao Guang brought out the excuse he had prepared over the past few days.
“Actually, this is what happened.
I’ve always been in a business partnership with someone, and we’ve just recently had a success.”
“What kind of business makes so much money all at once?
You think we’re fools?
If there was such an easy way to make money, others would have done it already, and it wouldn’t be your turn.”
His mother’s voice followed, “Do we not know you, the child we’ve raised?
Other than being good at talking nonsense, what else are you capable of?”
Great, you really do understand me, but that’s not what you usually say.
So this is what you really think of me.
No wonder I’ve been struggling for a year with nothing to show for it.
You’ve always seen right through me.
“How could that be?
I’ve learned some real skills in my time away, so relax.
This is just the first amount, and there’s more to come.
Think about it, if there was really a problem with the money, would I dare to transfer it directly to you?”
That line of thinking seemed to make sense, and the two parents exchanged glances, inwardly conceding the point.
“Could it be that our son has really become skilled?
Is it possible for the Zhao family to produce such talent?”
Listening to his father’s uncertain words, Zhao Guang was frustrated, “Isn’t it expected that I become a dragon?
“I just hope you don’t turn into an Earth Dragon, what state our family is in, don’t I know it?”
His mother was dissatisfied, “What’s the matter, you can’t stand to see your son successful?
He’s a piece of flesh from my body, just like me, he’s got the skills.”
Great, now the two of them were back to their usual bickering.
As the two of them went at it, Zhao Guang didn’t dare to get involved.
“Well, I’ve got some other stuff to take care of, so I’m going to hang up now,” he said cautiously, only to hear the phone click shut.
“So eager to leave, huh?
I’m a financier now, after all.” To his surprise, they hung up faster than he did.
But after hanging up, the two parents looked at each other with complete disbelief, a far cry from their previous conversation.
“Do you think Guangzi could really be up to no good outside?”
Lao Zhao sneered dismissively, “No good?
What kind of no good business could make so much all at once?
He would have been targeted long ago.
If he can send back a million, it means he’s kept even more for himself.”
Zhao Guang would certainly lament that his own father really understood him well.
“Besides, he said more is coming, so that suggests there’s no big problem.”
“Worthy of my son, he’s really made something of himself.”
“He’s my son too, but he really gave me a scare this time.”
“So, Lao Zhao, what do we do with this money?
Save it for when he gets married?”
Lao Zhao looked at his wife with disdain, “Du Juan, think for once, will you?
Now that the boy can make money, why bother saving this little bit?
He can save up for his own marriage.”
The two of them weren’t worried anymore; it’s the unaccomplished who worry about marrying off.
For the accomplished, isn’t it as easy as desiring it?
From now on, they could also be picky, considering their stance.
“Then what should we do with it?
How about we buy Yanzi a house in the town or city?”
Zhao Yan, Zhao Guang’s sister, couldn’t exactly say her life was hard after getting married, but it was tiring.
Zhao Yan and her husband had a good relationship and had been saving for a down payment to buy a house in the city.
With this windfall, not only the down payment but also a bigger house was in their sights.
“Don’t even think about it, that’s Guangzi’s filial piety to us.
Don’t you create discord at home.
As for Yanzi’s matter, let’s stabilize things on this end first, then let them figure it out.”
“Right, the siblings get along well, it’s fine for a sister to rely on her brother.”
The two sat face to face, murmuring endlessly, their excitement somewhat hard to settle down.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guang was also in a dilemma about whether to send some money to his sister.
But thinking it over, he decided not to.
His brother-in-law cared about face, so where would putting money directly into his hands leave him?
“Better wait a while, until I’ve established my own venture.
Then I’ll have my sister and brother-in-law come over to help,” he reasoned.
Zhao Guang didn’t place much importance on the so-called ventures; as long as they could provide help, that was good enough.
So, even if things turn out really badly in the future, he wouldn’t mind.
In that case, why not make use of relatives?
Zhao Guang took out a notebook and started jotting things down.
“That’s all I can think of for now.
Oh, I should send a batch of tricycles first to see how they do.”
Zhao Guang took out his phone to look up information about tricycles.
This time it wasn’t about buying just one or two, but a large batch.
Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be practical to go to a second-hand market.
He needed to find a manufacturer, as getting the vehicles directly from the factory would definitely be cheaper.
But after searching, Zhao Guang found there were no such manufacturers near his home.
It seemed he’d have to look further away and order them to be shipped in.
As Zhao Guang browsed through various tricycle manufacturers, he murmured, “Why are they all electric these days?”
