During the past couple of months, Li Shi would call his mother once every week to boast about his recent money-making exploits and rapid career progression.
Moreover, every two weeks he'd transfer 10,000 yuan into his mother's bank account, bought her a high-end mobile phone, and regularly purchased various daily necessities, clothing, and shoes online, all delivered to her home by his cousin.
During the first two money transfers, he suggested she keep it for herself. From the third transfer onwards, however, he advised her not to spend the money recklessly and to try to save up instead for future needs.
After more than two months, his mother was gradually accepting the fact that he had become wealthy.
As Li Shi kept calling, he could feel a noticeable change in his mother. She was more cheerful during their conversations and seemed better off in every way compared to before.
