85: And you still say you're not worth over 100 million?

The next day.

Chen Qiu woke up to the sound of chatting downstairs at home.

He pulled back the curtains in his room and saw that his cousin Luo Yu and her family had arrived.

His mother was chatting and eating melon seeds with his aunt on the flat ground in front of the house.

His father was showing off his Volvo to his uncle.

His cousin Luo Yu and her older brother Luo Xu were each sitting on a small stool, playing on their phones.

In a daze, she looked up and happened to see Chen Qiu poking his head out from the second floor.

"Brother? You're awake!"

She said with pleasant surprise.

Luo Xu, who was beside her, thought she was calling him. He followed her gaze, looked up, saw Chen Qiu, and also called out.

"Brother."

"When did you get back, Luo Xu?" Chen Qiu asked.

"Just yesterday."

Luo Xu said shyly.

Luo Xu was three years younger than him and had been working for less than a year since entering society.

However, he already had the aura of a corporate slave.

After washing up and going downstairs, Chen Qiu greeted his aunt and uncle.

"Chen Qiu, you've really made something of yourself. For our family to produce a young person like you, our ancestors must be smoking from their graves."

Upon seeing Chen Qiu, his aunt and uncle were incredibly excited, heaping praise upon him with terms like 'pride of heaven' and 'heaven-sent star.'

A net worth of over 100 million!

Someone like that, who previously seemed so incredibly distant, was actually their relative?

Not to mention that their families were close; even if they weren't, it would be hard to feel jealous upon hearing this.

It was more of a sense of shared pride!

"Luo Xu, if you can achieve even one-tenth of what your cousin has in the future, I can enjoy a comfortable life!"

Luo Xu bowed his head in misery, saying nothing.

When they were young, Chen Qiu was very good at his studies and was always the 'other people's child' his parents talked about.

He didn't expect that even after entering society, it would still be the same.

And his dad really dared to dream.

One-tenth of 100 million... did he want him to become a multi-millionaire?

Luo Yu, who was on the side, giggled.

"Dad, stop making things difficult for my brother. It's already good enough that he doesn't ask you for money!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her uncle glared at her.

"And you too. You sleep in every day during your break. Let's see what you'll do after you graduate!"

Luo Yu glanced at Chen Qiu and said in a low voice.

"Isn't Brother also sleeping in..."

"He is busy with work and social engagements. Is that the same thing as you?"

Luo Yu immediately pouted, jumped to Chen Qiu's side, hugged his arm, and lifted her chin slightly.

"After I graduate, I'll just cling to my brother's success. You don't need to worry about me!"

After saying that, she pulled Chen Qiu away from the scene.

"Brother, this identity of yours with a net worth of over 100 million has already reached our place!"

Luo Yu said, clicking her tongue in amazement.

Previously, Luo Jinglan had told her to keep it a secret and not tell her mother.

Who would have thought that she wouldn't even need to say anything.

In just a few days, her mother heard rumors that Chen Qiu had made it big and had a net worth of over 100 million!

She even came to her specifically to verify it.

When Luo Yu heard this, she was dumbfounded.

Net worth of over 100 million?

Wasn't it just in the tens of millions before?

Not even robbing a bank would be this fast!

"The village entrance intelligence department, you know how it is. What they spread are all unfounded rumors!"

Chen Qiu waved his hand.

What net worth of over 100 million? It was clearly heading towards 1 billion...

Luo Yu and Luo Xu nodded in deep agreement.

The level of distortion in the village's intelligence was comparable to the sensationalist essays online.

"Brother, is the house at Binjiang No. 1 almost finished with renovations? When are you moving in?"

Luo Yu asked curiously.

"In a few days."

Chen Qiu said.

He looked at the concrete yard. There were four cars parked there—three from his own family, and one that Luo Yu's family had driven over. The open space was almost completely filled.

"If I don't move soon, there won't be any place to park."

It was the first time Luo Yu had heard of such a problem, and her face was full of envy.

"Brother, what you just said is too much of a humblebrag."

Chen Qiu heard this and chuckled.

"Then do you want one as a gift?"

"No!"

Luo Yu shook her head quickly.

Even the cheapest Xiaomi SU7 here cost 300,000. She wouldn't dare accept such an expensive gift.

The young girl's eyes rolled, and she smiled.

"Brother, no need to give it to me. Just lend me this Xiaomi SU7 to drive for a few days."

"That won't do. You haven't even had your driver's license for a year. It's too dangerous for you to drive the Xiaomi SU7."

Chen Qiu shook his head.

He planned to take advantage of the hot second-hand market for the Xiaomi SU7 and just sell it later.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xu, who was beside them, looked over with envy.

"Brother, I can!"

"Brother, you know my driving skills. It's absolutely no problem!"

Luo Xu's words were full of longing.

This Xiaomi SU7 was so popular. If he drove it to meet his blind date in a couple of days, wouldn't it be incredibly flashy?!

"Your mom arranged a blind date for you this early?"

Chen Qiu asked in surprise.

Luo Yu mocked from the side.

"He didn't date a single girlfriend in his four years of college. My mom is afraid it will be even harder for him later, so she's planning ahead."

Luo Xu's face turned red.

"What do you know? I was focused on my studies and didn't have time to date!"

Since Luo Xu said so, Chen Qiu nodded.

"Then I'll lend it to you for a few days. Just don't mess around."

Luo Xu was immediately full of pleasant surprise.

"Holy crap, thanks, Brother!"

He was already thinking about how to show off in front of his classmates over the next two days.

Seeing this, Luo Yu pouted.

"Brother, what about me?"

Chen Qiu said calmly.

"After Luo Xu is done driving it and I sell the car, I'll use half of the money to buy you a new one."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu's cherry lips parted slightly. Looking at Chen Qiu's expression, which didn't seem fake, she asked in a daze.

"Brother, are you really going to buy it?"

"It's only a little over 100,000."

Chen Qiu said nonchalantly.

His uncle's family had helped his own family a lot in the past, so gifting a car wasn't too much.

"Brother, I really suspect you're a billionaire now!"

Luo Yu said with great surprise.

Luo Xu, who was sending messages to his buddies on the side, suddenly felt that this Xiaomi SU7 wasn't that great anymore.

He really wanted to ask Chen Qiu if he still needed a lackey; he wanted to compete for the position!

At three in the afternoon, Liu Qi and Song Xiangtong came to pick him up for the meeting.

He was quite busy today; after attending the meeting, he still had a blind date.

Watching Chen Qiu get into a mercedes-benz s-class with two top-tier royal sisters as secretaries, Luo Yu and Luo Xu looked at each other.

Still saying you don't have a net worth of over 100 million?

Seeing those two royal sister secretaries, Luo Xu wanted to cry even more.

It wasn't that he was envious.

It was that he realized he didn't even have an advantage in being a lackey!

...

A medium-sized conference room in the municipal government building.

Since it was a seminar on the Cultural Industry Park, not many people came.

From the group side, besides Chen Qiu, the two vice presidents, Li Cheng and Tang Qin, also came.

From the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director Wang, Secretary Zhou, and Director He came.

It was at the door of the conference room that Chen Qiu met the most important person of this seminar, Minister An.

Minister An was also seeing Chen Qiu for the first time, and he was immediately taken aback by his excessively young face.

"To have a young talent like President Chen is truly a blessing for Gannan!"

At under thirty years old, Chen Qiu had become the president of the group and was in charge of the entire Cultural Industry Park project; he was fully worthy of the title of young talent!

"Minister An, you flatter me. The task for the park is heavy, and I hope the leadership can provide more guidance and share their wisdom to help the park land successfully."

Chen Qiu also exchanged pleasantries, and his attitude during the conversation was very friendly.

At the seminar, since it was an internal meeting after all, there were no long-winded speeches.

Chen Qiu only presented a part of the proposal, which is commonly known as drawing a big picture with a PPT.

The Propaganda Department side listened and nodded repeatedly.

The look in Minister An's eyes as he looked at Chen Qiu also carried a hint of satisfaction.

Previously, when his daughter was poached by the Cultural Industry Group, he went to ask Director Wang, and the latter highly praised Chen Qiu.

Regarding this, Minister An was even more unable to figure out his background.

What kind of background is this?

To make Old Wang go this far?

Seeing him today, other things aside, this proposal definitely had some substance.

It's no wonder Old Wang dared to guarantee that he wasn't just messing around.

In that case, he could rest assured to let An Wan get some training over there.

The meeting was not long, ending in an hour.

Minister An, being busy with official duties, left early.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau side remained to talk with Chen Qiu about subsequent cultural resource docking issues.

At this moment, Chen Qiu suddenly thought of Shao Shushuang and mentioned her.

"The early work in this area was handled by Shao Shushuang from the Culture and Tourism Bureau, right?"

Director He was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

"President Chen knows her?"

"We've had a few meals together. Her summary reports are quite good."

Chen Qiu chuckled but didn't say much more, leaving Director He alone with his thoughts churning.

After the meeting ended, Chen Qiu asked Liu Qi to go back to the company first.

"President Chen, where are we going later?"

Song Xiangtong asked curiously while sitting in the driver's seat.

Chen Qiu glanced at the time.

"Rest for a bit first, then go on a blind date!"
