122: Net worth is one zero less

Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan had lived for most of their lives, and where had they ever faced such a spectacle?

What they hadn't expected even more was that the spectacle they had been so curious about just moments ago was actually prepared specifically for their son!

Walking behind Chen Qiu, amidst the synchronized greetings from the rows of greeters, the elderly couple felt a bit dizzy.

Crossing the lobby and walking to the elevator, this short stretch of road made Luo Jinglan feel like she was floating.

"No wonder people get carried away when they get rich... If I were treated like this every day, I'd be floating up to the heavens too," Luo Jinglan sighed with emotion.

"Mom, I'm not an emperor. How could I be treated like this every day?" Chen Qiu said, between laughing and crying.

On the side, Yu Shen was observing silently.

Judging by the temperament and speech of this President Chen's parents, they seemed to be just an ordinary family.

Yet President Chen looked only in his twenties and came from an ordinary family background, but he was able to own so many shares of the group...

This situation meant either he had met an unimaginably influential benefactor on his life's journey, or he was a one-in-a-billion monstrous genius!

However, regardless of which it was, for Yu Shen, it was a tremendous opportunity!

Entering the elevator, Yu Shen introduced the hotel to Chen Qiu with a beaming smile.

"President Chen, our branch is the Gannan flagship store, with 290 guest rooms divided into 12 room types..."

Although it was located in a third-tier city, it was still the flagship hotel of the city, and the facilities in all aspects were built to exceed five-star hotel standards.

The highest-grade room type was the Presidential Suite, which Chen Qiu hadn't managed to stay in at the other hotel before!

Besides that, it had everything: Chinese and Western restaurants, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, spa centers, fitness centers, and massage SPA recreational facilities!

This really broadened Luo Jinglan's horizons.

She hadn't even traveled much outside the province and had only ever stayed in small inns; she had never imagined that a hotel could be so all-encompassing.

"To set up a hotel like this, it must cost over a hundred million, right?" Luo Jinglan clicked her tongue in wonder.

Yu Shen explained, "The total investment for our branch was around 300 million!"

300 million!

Luo Jinglan was shocked upon hearing this astronomical figure.

"Son, you said you have some shares in this hotel, how much is that?" Luo Jinglan couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked in a low voice.

"More than half," Chen Qiu answered casually.

Luo Jinglan immediately gasped.

More than half, that meant over 100 million!

Wasn't her son's net worth just over 100 million? How could he so casually acquire such a 100-200 million deal?!

However, Luo Jinglan still had self-awareness; she was just a middle-aged woman who had graduated from elementary school, while her son was a university graduate who had started from scratch to earn a net worth of over 100 million!

Naturally, she wouldn't express opinions on any of Chen Qiu's business matters.

She just felt emotional that these uncountable numbers had actually become her son's daily life.

She turned her head and saw Chen Zhide standing dazed on the spot, so she immediately patted him and said, "What, scared silly by the 100-200 million?"

100-200 million?

Chen Zhide glanced at his unknowledgeable wife.

This was a chain hotel!

Judging from the hotel manager and Chen Qiu's previous words, what his son was obviously talking about wasn't just more than half the shares of this one hotel, but more than half the shares of the entire hotel brand!

One hotel was worth hundreds of millions, so this chain hotel brand must have at least a dozen or twenty hotels, right?

The value of more than half the shares... Chen Zhide used simple elementary school math to calculate it, and he was completely stunned.

Just how rich was his son?!

Net worth over 100 million?

Was a zero missing?

He took a deep breath, didn't correct Luo Jinglan's statement, and prepared to talk it over with her in detail when they got home.

After a simple tour, Chen Qiu had Yu Shen open a Presidential Suite and took his parents inside to rest for a while.

"I think we should hold our family's Housewarming Banquet here."

"What date should we set?"

"The day after tomorrow. I already told the other relatives at noon," Luo Jinglan said.

"The house at Binjiang No. 1 is renovated, it would be better for you to move in as soon as possible!" Chen Zhide said solemnly.

Now their family was indeed very glorious in the village, with words of flattery in front of them!

But behind their backs, who knew what people were murmuring?

Especially now that his son's net worth was growing faster than the gold coins in his Tomato Free Novels app, continuing to live in the village wasn't very appropriate in many aspects.

Hearing this, Chen Qiu looked at his parents in surprise.

"What, you aren't moving?"

"We won't move yet. We'll just buy some daily necessities and have them ready. Anyway, we have a car, so going back and forth is convenient!" Luo Jinglan said.

Initially, she had thought about moving in and living with Chen Qiu.

But Chen Zhide had said, "Our son's business is so big now, we have to leave him more personal space!"

"If you move in, it would be so inconvenient if people come over to discuss business!"

"Besides, it's not like we don't have other houses to live in!"

Hearing this, Luo Jinglan felt it made a lot of sense!

Most importantly, if she moved in, what if she interfered with her son bringing his girlfriend home for the night? That would have a huge impact!

"Recently, your dad and I have been looking at furniture for the house in Haitang Bay. After the New Year, we will move there," Luo Jinglan explained.

"That works too." Chen Qiu nodded.

Although he still had several vacant houses in his hands, there was no need to cause more trouble.

Anyway, the house at Haitang Bay was just for transition.

Once the villa at Boyue Mansion was renovated, that would be the house for his parents to live in.

Thinking of the villa under renovation, the cold and elegant figure of the class monitor emerged in Chen Qiu's mind again.

Consequently, he took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Baiwei.

"Class Monitor, I'm planning to move into Binjiang No. 1 the day after tomorrow. For the housewarming, do you have any gesture?"

Not long after Chen Qiu sent the message, he received a reply.

It was a red envelope.

Chen Qiu: "This is too tacky!"

The next moment, Yan Baiwei sent another picture.

A table full of dumplings, and on the side, one could see dough wrappers only a few centimeters high, as well as dumpling filling in the pot that was almost bottoming out.

Yan Baiwei: "Do you want fresh dumplings?"

Chen Qiu was a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected that Yan Baiwei, who was so cold and elegant, with a temperament of someone who had never done any domestic work, could actually make dumplings?

Although making dumplings wasn't difficult, one had to realize that nowadays, a huge number of girls didn't even know whether to use boiling water or cold water to cook dumplings; knowing how to make dumplings was definitely a high-end skill!

Chen Qiu: "You made them yourself?"

Yan Baiwei: "What's wrong, is it surprising?"

Chen Qiu: "I don't believe it, unless you make them for me on the spot!"

Yan Baiwei: "Then come to my house."

Chen Qiu: "Alright, I'll be at Binjiang No. 1 immediately!"

Yan Baiwei looked at this message and was stunned for a moment.

It's my house, not Binjiang No. 1!

Just as Yan Baiwei was about to reply, she suddenly realized something, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

This man was always flirting with her inadvertently.
