On the first floor of the mall, at the Starbucks Coffee Shop, the open air conditioning took away the sweat from people's bodies, calming their anxious emotions. Ji Yuan and Bai Shiqiu stared at each other wide-eyed.
"You're not joking, are you?" Bai Shiqiu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening. He felt an impulse to reach out and check if Ji Yuan had a fever. "Can a hundred million really build a robot?"
"It can," Ji Yuan replied with a confident look, nodding his head seriously as he said, "I've calculated it carefully; ten million should barely be enough."
Besides, if it's not enough, he could always ask you to lend him more. Of course, Ji Yuan wisely kept that thought to himself; no friendship could withstand excessive demands. Even if Old Bai was a big cash cow, he couldn't be drained dry!
"Ten million is no problem." Bai Shiqiu thought for a moment, seeing that Ji Yuan seemed serious, and without hesitation, he immediately took out his phone to make the transfer.
Before long, the money arrived.
"Alipay transfer received: one hundred million!" The pleasant notification sound rang out, and the barista glanced over at the two of them in surprise, her eyes flashing with curiosity before quickly returning to normal.
Ji Yuan was somewhat speechless.
However, considering that this guy lent him money without hesitation, he didn't want to say much.
"I'll pay you back when I make some money!" Ji Yuan casually said.
The two were Brothers, and with this little amount of money, neither would take it too seriously, but as real brothers, they kept their accounts clear and distinct.
Bai Shiqiu waved his hand, "What’s there to split between us? This amount is nothing. Don’t even mention paying it back; that feels too formal!"
He knew very well why Ji Yuan was short on cash.
This guy had always been seen as a prodigy by others since childhood.
He skipped grades twice in elementary school, spent just a year in middle school, and then directly entered the accelerated class in high school, where he breezed through his second year. He won numerous awards in various competitions and was then specially recruited by Aomori University.
In the second-generation circle, there was no one else quite like him who loved studying so much and was so impressive.
He was the quintessential example of the "other people's child" that parents often talked about.
Moreover, this guy received various scholarships and had never taken a single penny from his parents since starting school.
This fact had been boasted about by Ji Fu in the Rich Second Generation circle so much that their group of wealthy kids was practically tired of hearing the story!
Ji Yuan smiled and slightly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you!"
Between brothers, there was no need for too many words; everything was understood without saying much.
"Hey, to celebrate your breakup, how about I take you out to see the world and have some fun today?" Bai Shiqiu raised an eyebrow, hinting at something.
Ji Yuan couldn't be bothered to respond. "You don't think about it; my family's Entertainment Company is ranked in the top three nationwide. If I really had that kind of intention, those big stars would be eager to jump into my bed overnight."
This wasn't just empty talk. Every time he accompanied his father to the company, those flirtatious women would throw him flirtatious glances. As long as he was willing, with just a flick of his finger, there would be plenty of stars and artists eager to serve him, the young master of a wealthy family!
Bai Shiqiu twitched his lips. "Alright, speaking of which, last time when I asked you to introduce me to Mimi, you were all hesitant!"
Ji Yuan shot him a glance. "Aren't you afraid your grandfather will break your legs?"
Bai Shiqiu's grandfather had served in the military and had quite an impressive background. He also had a terrible temper and would beat Bai Shiqiu mercilessly if provoked.
Bai Shiqiu's face turned awkward, and he didn't dare to bring it up again. He stood up and waved the keys to his Maybach. "Alright, the boys have plans tonight; I have to go."
"Also, if you ever run short on money, just let me know. I still have some pocket money left, and at worst, I can help you out a bit!"
Others only thought he was spending money like water, but they didn't realize he also deducted quite a bit from those who flattered him. When it came to leveraging his identity to make extra cash, Bai Shiqiu was truly skilled.
"Get lost," Ji Yuan said with a laugh and a scold. After that, he stood up and headed towards his townhouse near Qingmu University.
This townhouse was bought by Ji Yuan's mother, costing quite a bit, as she was worried about her son suffering. Surrounded by native woods on all sides, it formed a natural oxygen bar, providing a continuous supply of fresh air for the entire community.
What pleased Ji Yuan the most was the excellent privacy of this area, nestled among mountains on three sides, embodying understated elegance and comfort.
"Welcome back, Young Master!" Aunt Jiang, responsible for cleaning the yard, hurried over to greet Ji Yuan with a bow. She knew he was her breadwinner; even though the family was generally easygoing, that wasn't an excuse for her to overstep her bounds. It's important to note that Ji Yuan's mother was not someone easily fooled.
"Just do your thing."
Ji Yuan didn't pay much attention and waved his hand, saying, "Oh, right, try to keep dinner light."
The weather was too hot, and he didn't have much of an appetite.
Ji Yuan swam comfortably in his family's large swimming pool for several laps, feeling so refreshed that he almost let out a sigh of pleasure.
He felt as if he had suddenly become lighter, as if he had shed some burden.
As usual, after dinner, he started the weekly video call with Ji Father and Mother Ji.
"Baby son, you've lost weight!"
This was the first thing Mother Ji said, which made Ji Father almost roll his eyes.
Ji Yuan felt a bit helpless.
Many times, there is a kind of thinness that only your mom thinks you are thin, a kind of coldness that only your mom thinks you are cold, and a kind of thermal underwear that only your mom thinks you need.
"Mom, I haven't lost weight; I've gained muscle!"
Saying this, he flexed his arm to show off his bulging biceps and playfully grinned.
"That's good, that's good."
Mother Ji complained, "It's all your father's fault. I said we should move closer to your school, but he insisted on letting the fledglings fly on their own and talked about wolf parenting... Tsk, if you're going to be cruel, then be cruel; he even came up with a bunch of excuses."
As she spoke, she instinctively shot a glare at her husband.
Ji Father: ...
Ji Yuan hurriedly said, "Mom, Mom, Mom, I'll come home to see you in a couple of days."
He felt a bit guilty because Ji Father took the blame for him. It was he who insisted on moving out and living independently.
"Do you need pocket money? Should I have the finance department transfer you a few million..." Mother Ji muttered.
Ji Father coughed heavily twice. A few million is not a small amount of money no matter where it goes; it's impressive that his wife is so generous.
Ji Yuan chuckled awkwardly, "No need, Mom, don't worry, your son has enough money to spend!"
He didn't have any high expenses and actually didn't need that much money.
Moreover, the purchasing power of Renminbi in this world is quite strong; having a hundred yuan in his pocket is enough to browse around the supermarket several times.
After hesitating for a while, Mother Ji cautiously said, "That woman is stirring things up online; should I help you suppress it?"
She was taking care of her son's pride and didn't want him to feel wronged.
Ji Yuan shook his head, "No need, the truth will come out on its own."
