A week later, Ji Yuan finally had a rare vacation to go back and see his parents.
Mother Ji looked at her tall and upright son, who had a hint of fatigue on his face, feeling quite distressed. She asked him a series of questions back and forth for quite a while before she could finally ease her worries a little.
Of course, Mother Ji was not just an ordinary farmer; she was a noblewoman. Knowing that her son was serving the country and that his work was of a special nature, she naturally avoided sensitive topics in their conversation.
"Eat more meat; you've lost weight lately," Mother Ji said as she picked up a plate of braised pork and scooped it into Ji Yuan's bowl for quite some time, as if she intended to pour it all in.
This scene made Father Ji's eye twitch.
How could his son be losing weight? From his perspective, it looked like he had gained weight instead. He sat there quietly, standing tall like a javelin!
"I heard you swindled 2 billion from the National Security Department?" Father Ji tried to make conversation.
God knows how shocked he was when he learned this news!
Ordinary people might not understand how much 2 billion really is; in fact, to them, 10 million and 2 billion might not seem very different since they are just numbers. However, someone like him, who had dealt with money for decades, truly understood the power of such a huge sum.
Although the Ji Family had assets worth hundreds of billions, any project over a billion would have gone through numerous rounds of research, discussion, investigation, review, and re-evaluation before it could be decided.
However, the National Security Department directly approved 2 billion in startup funds for its own son, which surely indicates that a big figure made the decision! Although his son has been known as a genius since childhood, he is still a novice in business. The fact that the country is so generous in granting him such a large sum of money clearly shows their high regard for him.
He even has a gut feeling that recently, some leaders who previously showed little interest in him have softened their attitudes. Those who were already on good terms with him have been reaching out frequently, arranging for their wives to befriend his wife, going shopping, and getting beauty treatments together.
Before Ji Yuan could say anything, Mother Ji cut him off. "What do you mean by 'fooling'? That’s the country recognizing my son’s abilities and potential!"
Her words carried a sense of pride, but at the same time, there was an underlying sadness. The management at the research base is very strict; she can no longer send her son gifts as frequently as before! Living and eating at the research base, the people there are not as attentive or caring as the housekeepers and nannies she arranged.
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Hey, how about it, Dad? Your son is not worse than you, right?!"
Although Ji Fu often acted out of line and was far from being a saint with many small flaws, it did not affect Ji Yuan's admiration for him since childhood. He viewed his father as a role model and a benchmark for his actions!
Human nature is like this; if there truly exists a person who is perfect in every way, it can only mean that this person is pretending and has deceived everyone, even themselves.
"One must always look at the bigger picture; focusing solely on the present is not enough."
Ji Fu's words carried a hint of persuasion and advice. There are many intelligent people in the world, but often their cleverness leads to their own downfall, and only a few achieve great success.
He certainly did not want Ji Yuan to have spent twenty years playing it safe only to end up making a fool of himself like Shang Zhongyong.
Mother Ji shot her husband a glare, blaming him for giving their son a "political education" as soon as he returned.
Ji Yuan secretly chuckled; his mother had no idea that his father's strict demeanor was just an act in front of her. In reality, he was incredibly indulgent toward his son.
If it weren't for Ji Yuan's good nature and the fact that he didn't go astray, he might have ended up like Principal Wang, living a life of debauchery as a playboy, and his father would have accepted it with open arms.
In his father's words, even if he were useless, he would still love him for life! Because he is his son, and that was destined from the moment he was born; nothing could change that!
