Chapter 88: Is His Little Daughter a Business Genius?

Xiao Ming had just stepped out the door when he saw his little daughter in the living room seriously reading a book about finance.

"Finance?" Xiao Ming said doubtfully: "Jingrou, why are you suddenly interested in reading a finance book? You've always been into fashion, clothing design, right?"

Xiao Jingrou slightly lifted her head to look at Xiao Ming and said: "Dad, I just flipped through it casually, never expecting it to get more interesting the more I read."

"Huh? Really?" Xiao Ming chuckled as he stepped forward, seeing that Xiao Jingrou had already read quite a bit; this book was something he had taken out to read over the past couple of days when he had nothing else to do, and he thought it was pretty good.

He casually mentioned some of the book's content, just speaking offhand, never expecting Xiao Jingrou to become intensely interested and start discussing it with him, and she spoke with clear logic.

"Jingrou, are you sure this is your first time reading this book? You wouldn't be lying to your dad, would you?"

"Dad, how could I lie to you? I've never read it before."

Xiao Jingrou looked bewildered: "Dad, what did I say wrong?"

This?

Xiao Ming was quite surprised.

Could it be that his little daughter is a business genius? And also a top student?

She had only glanced through it once, yet she actually remembered all the content without saying it, and when she talked about finance, she had sound reasoning and evidence; after reading it once, she could apply the knowledge broadly?

Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is quite high; it's very possible that Xiao Ming's daughter inherited his excellent business genes.

After thinking, Xiao Ming smiled, hurried forward and said: "No, you're absolutely right, Jingrou. If you love reading finance books, my study has plenty—just take whatever you want."

"Okay, thank you, Dad." Xiao Jingrou gave a gentle smile and expressed her thanks.

Xiao Ming was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Xiao Jingrou's plan to open a studio, so he turned back.

"Also, your sister Lingyu has a wide network in fashion design; I'll have her hook you up with resources later, and also get her to find a few people to help you get your studio up and running quickly. Just go ahead and do what you want; if you run into problems you can't solve, tell Dad and I'll take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingrou instantly put down her book, jumped up happily, and said: "Dad, thank you, Dad, I love you."

"No need to be polite with Dad."

He casually glanced around the living room, seeing no trace of Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Yunzhe anywhere, and said: "Huh? Where are Yuchun and Yunzhe?"

"They took the new car you gave my brother out for a drive," Xiao Jingrou replied truthfully.

"Alright." Xiao Ming waved his hand.

Among these children, Xiao Jingrou has the steadiest temperament, while Xiao Yuchun and Xiao Yunzhe are more energetic, always doing things in a hurried, bustling manner.

"Keep reading your book; I'm going to the study to handle some work." Xiao Ming sighed helplessly, turned, and went to the study.

About fifty minutes later, the siblings who had gone out for fun in the new car returned home.

Upon learning that Xiao Ming was in the study, Xiao Yuchun quickly heated some milk and brought it to him.

After setting down the cup, Xiao Yuchun naturally lunged into Xiao Ming's embrace, smiling and asking: "Dad, did you miss me?"

"Yes." Xiao Ming, a doting father, instantly turned into a doting maniac at the sight of his daughter's cooing: "How could I not miss my precious daughter?"

"Hehe, Dad is really nice."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yuchun instantly beamed with joy, got up, brought the warmed milk to Xiao Ming's front, and held it to his lips.

This…

Xiao Ming's expression stiffened slightly; he rose without a hint of emotion, creating a bit of distance between himself and Xiao Yuchun, then reached out to take the cup. After drinking, he feigned satisfaction and praised: "Mm, the hot milk you brought tastes good."

Those words pleased Xiao Yuchun greatly; unaware of Xiao Ming's oddness, she immediately giggled and said: "Really? Then from today on, I'll bring you a cup of hot, steaming milk every day."

"Good, truly worthy of being my precious daughter." Xiao Ming nodded in reply.

"Dad." Xiao Yuchun said, then lunged into Xiao Ming's arms again, acting coquettish: "Dad, can you buy me a little gold bar?"

"Sure." Xiao Ming agreed without hesitation.

Anything his good children like, even the moon in the sky, he would give them.

"Hehe, Dad is really good to me." Xiao Yuchun happily hugged Xiao Ming's arm, leaned in, and muttered: "I have a little sister who always brags in our group chat that her boyfriend bought her a small gold bar, even tagging me—isn't she just mocking me on purpose?"

Xiao Yuchun pouted, looked up at Xiao Ming, and instantly shifted from sad to happy: "What's so special about her boyfriend? I have Dad doting on me—he's hundreds, thousands, no, tens of thousands of times better."

"Hehe..." Xiao Ming was delighted by his daughter's sweet talk, feeling as if his whole self were floating.

The next day.

Xiao Ming never forgot Xiao Yuchun's request for gold bars; after breakfast he went out and headed straight to the bank.

"Do young couples these days go all out like that? Just dating and they're already giving gold bars?" Xiao Ming muttered to himself.

Upon arriving at the bank, Xiao Ming went straight to the manager and said bluntly: "Give me two hundred gold bars."

At this bank, Xiao Ming is the biggest VIP customer, having deposited hundreds of millions of yuan and also stored a considerable amount of gold bars, antiques, and the like.

The manager, a great beauty, also knew Xiao Ming's true identity; after he spoke, she immediately had people fetch him two hundred gold bars and respectfully handed them over.

"Fine, thank you, Manager Yang." Xiao Ming nodded satisfactorily, exchanged a few polite words with Manager Yang, then left the bank.

Those two hundred gold bars weighed over two hundred catties; Xiao Ming couldn't lift them himself, nor did he want to do such hard labor, so when he came he brought three bodyguards who packed the bars into three boxes.

Heading back home.

"With so many gold bars, how happy will my precious daughter be?"

Xiao Ming thought to himself.

Xiao Yuchun's little sister's boyfriend only gave her one gold bar, whereas Xiao Ming's two hundred bars would leave them far behind—wouldn't that give his daughter immense face?

Soon they arrived home.

Before even entering the door, Xiao Ming heard bursts of laughter.

Xiao Ming entered and saw that Xiao Yuchun had invited her little sister over to play at home, with Lin Xiao Xiao also present.

Today Lin Xiao Xiao wore a water-blue dress; her face was slightly gloomy, but when the little sisters said they wanted to go find Xiao Yuchun to play, she agreed without a second thought.

She was hoping to see the person she wanted to see—Xiao Ming.

When Xiao Ming entered, she happened to see him; the gloom on her face vanished instantly, and she cheerfully ran over to greet him: "Uncle, you're back?"
