"Don't worry, young master! Your technology is patented, and once it's on the market, it will be promoted quickly according to our plans. We're just concerned about the quantity! As for safety, we trust it completely!"
"That's good to hear!"
Shang Jiancheng and the others understood Shang Yunyun's situation well, as they received information from the system. They were very clear on what the system provided to Shang Yunyun.
In these past few days, the seed of the Universal Land's Divine Crown Tree had sprouted, and under the nourishing power of the Universal Land, the tree had already reached half a meter in height. This filled Shang Yunyun with anticipation as well!
After letting the secretaries rest, it was already past 10 PM. Shang Yunyun thought it was getting late and his parents should be winding down, so he went to the mahjong room on the second basement level. As soon as he entered, he saw his father and mother with serious expressions, beads of sweat on their foreheads, nervously gripping their tiles!
"Hehe, why so tense?"
"Oh no, we've lost terribly!"
Hearing his mother, Shang Yunyun glanced at Aunt Zhang and Old Zheng, revealing a satisfied smile. This was a sign from Shang Yunyun, but he hadn't expected Aunt Zhang and Old Zheng to be such formidable card players!
"How about you finish this round and take a break? We can continue tomorrow. Let's keep things as they are. It's already past ten; don't stay up playing!"
Understanding the young master's intention, Old Zheng immediately spoke up, "Yes! Mr. and Mrs. Shang, you can continue tomorrow. Maybe your luck will turn around! Don't stay up too late; it's not good for your health!"
"Fine, just this round! I have a great hand this time!" Shang Yunyun's mother said, still a bit anxious.
The four of them continued playing, while Ling'er and Lily were on hand to serve tea and water, massaging the elders to help them relax. Finally, Aunt Zhang let Shang Yunyun's mother win, signaling the end!
"Oh, I finally won a bit back! Let's continue tomorrow! No one touch this table; you all should go rest now, stop bustling about! Go on!" Shang Yunyun's mother urged Aunt Zhang, Old Zheng, and the two maids to rest. She and Shang Yunyun's father then went back to the living room to lie down. Shang Yunyun poured them some water and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry. You treat us like royalty here, with a whole crowd taking care of us. We're losing our ability to move! This can't go on. Your dad and I have decided we should go back after a while; we can't just stay here forever!"
"Mom and Dad, I understand your feelings, but I want you to stay with me a bit longer. Soon, I might be too busy to be home every day, and I can take care of you now. I can't bear to let you go back to the countryside! How about I buy more houses and bring Uncle and the others over, so my second brother, third brother, and little sister can all come here to develop?"
"Son, think this through. There's a saying: 'Clear accounts among brothers.' Your uncles and aunts have always lived separately. We don't interfere with financial matters. Even when you brought the driver and Yu Rou to pick us up from the village, your uncles didn't call to ask about it. The Shang family teaches independence; you should live your life without bothering relatives. If you have the means, enjoy your life; if not, don't dream of striking it rich overnight. As for buying houses, I suggest you think it over. This is the capital; every house is expensive! Plus, I doubt your uncles and aunts would accept your kindness!"
Shang Yunyun understood his father's point. His grandfather, Shang Quan, had always taught them to be content and grateful.
"Dad! I get it! The reason I am where I am today is also thanks to Grandpa. He visited me in a dream, telling me to help other Shang family members when I had the means. But I know you can't get something for nothing, so I'll let go of the idea I just proposed! I'll stick to the old way and have my brothers and little sister work in my company, earning their own salaries to improve their lives!"
"Okay! It's your decision! Your mom and I trust you! But your mother is right; we want to go back and take a look after a while!"
"That's fine. When you go back, I'll have the driver take you. He'll stay with you to help manage things!"
"Son, then you won't have a driver, right?"
"Who says that! My secretaries are all great drivers! Now go wash up and sleep! It's late!"
Shang Yunyun didn't ask about his mother's family situation because she only had him as a child. On his father's side, he was also the only child. His grandparents had passed away when he was young, so he didn't have any aunts or uncles.
