Seeing the look of utter disbelief on his wife’s face in the living room, his sleepiness began to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Qi, your son has really done it now. He went and bought a 12,999 yuan phone on a whim—three of them, in fact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min was furious. ’This kid is such a spendthrift.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget a 12,999 yuan phone—she wouldn’t even bring herself to buy a 1,299 yuan one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone wasn’t broken, so why waste money like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Zhizhong was stunned too, staring in disbelief at the phone in his wife’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"12,999. This one’s yours, Dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng handed the unopened, jet-black phone to his father, inviting him to experience the joy of unboxing it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Son, you didn’t put this on a credit card, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Zhizhong was in no mood to unbox a new phone, worried that Qi Sheng had gone down the wrong path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, I earned this money myself. I speculated on Bitcoin in college. I bought about 20,000 yuan worth over time, then sold it all at its peak and made over two million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng was just spouting nonsense; it didn’t matter to him whether they believed it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The money in his account was real, and that couldn’t be faked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over two million?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min and Qi Zhizhong were both dumbfounded, and it was hard to tell how much of the story they actually believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not lying. This is the money after I cashed out—2.4 million in total. I spent 1.3 million on a car and over 30,000 on phones, so I have about 1.06 million left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming home, Qi Sheng had already withdrawn all his remaining income for the year in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a starter bonus; it would be a waste not to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You spent 1.3 million on a car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min and Qi Zhizhong were dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so extravagant! Why would you buy such an expensive car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, it was a windfall, so I just spent it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I plan to use one million to start a business. Once I make it big, you two can just wait to travel the world and enjoy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng didn’t plan to hand the money over to his parents; instead, he would use the one million as startup capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, when he made money, he’d have a good explanation for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that work? You’re so young. What if you lose it all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min was the first to object. Their family only ran a small business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it wasn’t making money, it was truly agonizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng had just graduated. What if someone scammed him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. The money came easily anyway. If I lose it, I’ll just consider it tuition fees. And who knows, I might actually make a profit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the system, Qi Sheng wasn’t the least bit worried about not being able to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would just mean a slower start, but achieving financial freedom wouldn’t be much of a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a decent idea of the money-making opportunities that would arise in the next few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With capital, making money naturally wouldn’t be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simplest way would be to just go all-in on Moutai stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min couldn’t dissuade him, so she thought, ’Fine, let my son go out and make his way in the world.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he loses it, we’ll just pretend he never earned it in the first place.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their family wasn’t fabulously wealthy, but they never had to worry about food or clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t just stop my son from starting his own business, can I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then. Your dad and I support you. Whether you succeed or fail, we’ll always be your strong backing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min was the one who called the shots in the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comrade Old Qi chimed in with a nod, expressing his full support for his son’s entrepreneurial venture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great. Dad, let me transfer your data so you can experience the joy of a top-tier Huawei flagship too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng said with a smile, then helped his dad get the software downloads sorted on the new phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the old couple playing with their new phones, unable to put them down, Qi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, his parents were pretty open-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing Qi Sheng hated most was parents from those rebirth novels who would insist on controlling the protagonist’s money at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the protagonist would be too timid to even admit they’d made money, completely failing at showing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slept well at home, not waking up until almost eight-thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re awake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng walked out of the secondary bedroom and saw his mom sitting on the sofa, playing with her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t even paying attention to the TV shows she usually watched, which made him chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. Is there anything to eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, I made some congee and there are some pickled vegetables. It’s just a little something to tide you over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min went to the small kitchen and brought out the breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was called a kitchen, but it was really just some cabinets set up on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was so cramped it could only fit his mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We have to get a new place!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng thought to himself, but his wallet was feeling a little light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only 1.06 million left, he couldn’t buy a very nice house in Qi City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t just buy a house and not renovate it, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1.06 million really wasn’t enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top priority was to win over Tan Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that was done, his system authority would level up, and he’d start getting one million a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying a big house for his parents in Qi City would be a piece of cake then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Tan Hua, Qi Sheng slapped his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d gotten back so late last night and was busy setting up his parents’ new phones that he’d completely forgotten to check in with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl in the \"ambiguous\" phase of a relationship is naturally insecure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, as soon as Qi Sheng opened WeChat, he saw that Tan Hua had already sent over a dozen messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua: \"I’ve arrived. Are you home yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua: \"My dad came to pick me up, not anyone else, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua: \"You must still be driving. Please drive carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua: \"Why haven’t you replied? I’m so sleepy. I’m going to bed first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight smile touched Qi Sheng’s lips. Being cared for like this by an absolute bombshell didn’t feel half bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, sorry. I got back too late last night. My parents and I talked for a long time, and I fell asleep as soon as I got tired. Glad you arrived safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng didn’t say when he was going to Chengdu, wanting to give Tan Hua a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving from the ambiguous phase to the dating phase required an opportune moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua: \"Hmph. I can’t be bothered with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Tan Hua was still mad that Qi Sheng had gone straight to bed after getting home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had waited for his reply until after two in the morning before finally falling asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng coaxed her with a few more words, and soon the two were chatting enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued until after four in the afternoon, when his mom finally interrupted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop playing on your phone. We’re going to pick up your dad, then your grandma, and go out for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng glanced at his mom and did a double take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mom, who usually didn’t bother to dress up, was all decked out today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, today’s dinner was no ordinary occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... Mom booked a restaurant. Your aunt and the others will be there too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min seemed a little embarrassed, but she didn’t hide it from her son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng pulled his most presentable Jack & Jones outfit from the closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white T-shirt, black denim shorts, and a pair of Nike mesh sneakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d bought it the year he graduated high school, and the whole outfit had cost him nearly two thousand yuan back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, after he’d put on some weight, it didn’t look as good on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my son, so handsome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min looked at Qi Sheng with satisfaction, feeling a wave of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, she was almost fifty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng went downstairs and led his mom to where he had parked the A8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodness, it really is a 1.3 million yuan luxury car. It has a completely different presence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min ran her hand over the Florett Silver paint, clucking her tongue in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I come back for the New Year, you can have this car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how much his mom liked the A8, Qi Sheng decided to give the car to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no. You need the car to keep up appearances for your business. I don’t need it at home. Besides, the maintenance and gas are so expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Min waved her hand dismissively. It wasn’t like she didn’t have a car to drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a Buick Excelle, but at least it got her around, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng just smiled and didn’t say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’By the New Year, I’ll definitely have won over Tan Hua.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With a million yuan coming in every month, getting another car would be child’s play.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1627,"2026-06-03T03:29:35.555Z","2026-06-03T03:29:39.083Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa5dd08cb12d86e37b10b443689837484fa7f407f1d6a5096534f730433b75ad","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-14","tycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-chapter-12",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftycoon-i-have-an-unlimited-modifier-cover.jpg"]
