Several hours later.

Mr. Luo was true to his word. He arrived in Meicheng from Yangcheng with three designers and two surveyors in tow.

Lin Feng was cooking for the babies when he heard Mr. Luo had arrived. He immediately called Jiang Anmin and Yu Zheng. As a future partner, Yu Zheng needed to get more acquainted with Jiang Anmin.

Jiang Anmin said he would pick them up and told Yu Zheng to wait on the eighth floor of the Yuhuali shopping center.

Yu Zheng was a practical man; he knew that getting a storefront in a major shopping center wasn't something you could pull off just by having money.

He leaned against the glass door and peered inside. He saw it was completely empty and estimated its area to be just over fifty square meters.

Trying to run a hot pot business in a fifty-square-meter space would only allow for a few tables. Still, just managing to rent a storefront this large in Yuhuali was already quite an accomplishment.

Just as he was pondering this, Jiang Anmin arrived with Mr. Luo and the others.

"Yu Zheng," Jiang Anmin said with a smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Yu Zheng shook his head. "Not at all, I just got here myself. You must be the Mr. Luo that Lin Feng mentioned."

Mr. Luo smiled slightly. "A pleasure to meet you both."

Jiang Anmin took out a key and bent down to unlock the door.

One door, two doors, three doors...

When he saw the scene before him, Yu Zheng was utterly stunned.

But he kept his composure. After all, he was a man who had signed deals worth tens of millions before.

From the moment he stepped into Yuhuali, Mr. Luo thought he had a good idea of the situation. But they were all mistaken. When Jiang Anmin finished unlocking the fourteenth door, none of them could remain calm.

"Mr. Luo, we just wanted you to have a preliminary look today," Jiang Anmin explained. "This entire space needs to be gutted and redesigned. I've already found the construction crew, and they'll be here soon."

"I estimate the demolition will be finished by tomorrow night, so you'll have to wait until then to start taking measurements."

Mr. Luo smiled. "I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Anmin began, "Regarding accommodations..."

Mr. Luo quickly interjected, "I'll take care of that myself. Please don't trouble yourself over it."

After chatting for a while, Mr. Luo and his team left first. Yu Zheng stayed behind to wait for the construction crew.

Since he was also investing, he couldn't very well do nothing.

Jiang Anmin and Yu Zheng had already taken a liking to each other, and as they chatted, the workers arrived. They quickly agreed to begin the work at night to avoid disrupting the normal business hours of the other shops.

After settling the matter, Yu Zheng and Jiang Anmin stepped outside the mall for a smoke. They decided to head to the hospital to discuss the investment details with Lin Jiajun. Lin Feng had told them to just let him know once they'd made their decisions.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi finished getting the babies ready for bed and took them upstairs to sleep.

"Honey, is something on your mind?" Zhang Yuxi asked.

Lin Feng was taken aback. His wife was incredible. She was so observant. But this was the perfect opportunity to bring up the topic of the villa.

"Honey, I feel like... staying here at my parents' place every time we visit is a bit inconvenient."

Zhang Yuxi nodded. "It is a bit."

Even though this was home, it wasn't as comfortable as their own house. After all, what young couple doesn't want their own private world?

"So, I bought a house," Lin Feng announced.

Zhang Yuxi was surprised. "You already bought it?"

"Yes, I did."

"Do your parents know?"

"I was about to go tell them now."

The four elders were sitting together, watching TV, chatting, and eating fruit.

Seeing Lin Feng come downstairs, Zhou Cuilan asked, "Are the babies asleep?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Yuxi's parents began to rise. "We'll head to bed then."

Lin Feng smiled. "It's not a secret. Please, sit."

He took a breath. "I bought a house."

Just as Zhou Cuilan was about to speak, Lin Feng quickly added, "Mom, don't get me wrong. It's not that we don't want to live here. You know Jiang Anmin's paternal aunt is in real estate. While I was looking for the storefronts, I happened to come across a great house, so I bought it."

Hearing this, Zhou Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was worried that living here made you uncomfortable, or that your father and I did something to upset you and make you want to move out."

Zhao Lizhen quickly chimed in, "How could that be? You both dote on the children so much, they'd never want to leave."

Lin Feng smiled. "Mom, don't overthink it. Yuxi and I both love living here. It was just a coincidence that we found a nice house, so we snapped it up."

Lin Dashan glared at his wife. "I swear, you spend all day worrying about nothing."

Zhou Cuilan flushed, a bit embarrassed. "I do not!" She quickly changed the subject. "So, tell me, is it far from here?"

"It's in Mingyue Villa."

At that, both Lin Dashan and his wife gasped.

Lin Dashan's eyes widened. "Mingyue Villa? That's the most luxurious villa complex in all of Meicheng! The average price is fifty thousand per square meter! Are you insane?"

"And they only sell units starting at three hundred square meters! Are you out of your mind?"

Uh...

Lin Feng was at a loss for words. He genuinely had no idea what the prices at Mingyue Villa were.

Zhou Cuilan also thought her son had lost his mind. That's a price tag in the tens of millions!

The thought made her flare up in anger. "You brat! You can't just throw your money around like that, even if you have some now! Tens of millions! Wouldn't a large apartment for a few million have been better? If you wanted a villa, you could have bought a cheaper one! There's one for sale right here in our community. It was renovated last year and is only about four million!"

Zhang Yuxi's parents were also stunned by their son-in-law's extravagance. Tens of millions for a villa... He's certainly a lavish spender!

Zhao Lizhen hurriedly tried to soothe Zhou Cuilan. "My dear, don't be angry. Lin Feng is a good boy; he wouldn't spend money recklessly."

Zhou Cuilan scoffed. "I think he's gotten completely carried away! Spending so much on a villa!"

Lin Dashan's face was grim as he remained silent.

Lin Feng said, "There's something else..."

A mother knows her son best. Seeing the look on Lin Feng's face, Zhou Cuilan had a terrible premonition.

She grew anxious immediately. "Tell me, did you buy something else? What did you buy?" She swatted his arm. "You rascal! It's not easy to make money in this world, you need to be more frugal! Your father and I don't need you to support us, but you still have four children to think about! Raising a child costs a fortune these days, let alone four of them!"

She was getting angrier the more she spoke.

Zhao Lizhen pulled her back. "Calm down. He hasn't even said anything yet. Let's hear him out."

Zhang Fuyong added, "Exactly. Our son-in-law isn't a reckless person. Can't you trust your own son?"

Zhou Cuilan huffed. "Fine. Then tell us. What else is there?"

Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Feng cleared his throat, unsure if what he was about to say would make his mother even angrier.

"In the Yuhuali shopping center... I bought fourteen storefronts..."

The four elders were stunned. Lin Dashan was the first to react.

"You... you bought fourteen storefronts in the Yuhuali shopping center? How did you manage that?"

Zhou Cuilan was equally shocked. "You must be bluffing! You can't buy property there just because you have money. Besides, do you even have that kind of money?"

It wasn't that she didn't believe her own son. It was just that the claim sounded... absolutely incredible.

Having been in the Modu business world for so many years, Zhang Fuyong immediately understood the implications.

Lin Feng nodded. "I have the money. I bought fourteen storefronts. The plan is to merge them and open a new branch."

Lin Dashan mentally calculated the cost. How much money would that even be?

"Where did you get that much money?"

"I earned it."

"..."

In the eyes of a businessman, it was unnecessary to spend so much money on a lavishly decorated villa just for its potential appreciation in value. But spending tens of millions on commercial property? That was a truly meaningful investment. Especially for prime real estate, where every square inch was gold—such opportunities were exceedingly rare.
