How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 580 - 248: Leaving Home
Boss Zhou raised his eyebrows, somewhat disagreeing with the ideas of these two young people. But he also knew that the mindset of the young in this new era was different from that of older people like himself. Besides, these two had been living abroad for some time, so their thinking was bound to be influenced by foreigners. Speaking up on such matters might instead cause their resentment, so Boss Zhou didn't comment further on the matter.
Afterward, Qin Miao and Qimeng stayed with Boss Zhou for over two hours, mainly chatting. Most of the time, it was Boss Zhou asking about things he was curious about, and Qin Miao and Qimeng answering.
When it was meal time, Boss Zhou invited them for lunch, and in the evening, he wanted to take them for a soak and a foot massage, followed by a full-body massage.
Since Qimeng was there, the places Boss Zhou intended to take them were all legitimate establishments.
However, Qin Miao and Qimeng both declined.
The most important thing about coming back from abroad is spending time at home with parents. Even though Qin Miao spent most of his time in the bedroom playing on the computer, his mom knew her son was at home, just a wall away, and she could see him by just opening the door.
But if they went out for a foot soak or bath, they probably wouldn't be back until eight, and even if they did return, it would be very late, which might disturb the family's rest.
So they politely refused Boss Zhou's kind offer.
Boss Zhou didn't insist. In fact, seeing this, he even had a slight eagerness to go himself. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
After the meal, Qin Miao and Qimeng were prepared to call a cab home. However, Boss Zhou didn't just let Qin Miao leave. Instead, he had his driver take them back home, while he himself couldn't wait to return to his simulator shop, open the safe, and start bragging about the steering wheel he had just acquired to his friends and social circles.
On the other side, after the meal, Qin Miao and Qimeng arrived home, thanked the driver who brought them, and Qin Miao walked Qimeng home.
He then walked back to his own home.
After all, the two families weren't that far apart.
When he got back to his neighborhood, Qin Miao noticed his Ferrari had been returned, and judging by its appearance, it had just been washed.
Not bothering about the car, Qin Miao went straight upstairs and opened the door to his home. Upon entering, his first words were, "Mom! I'm back!"
"Back? Did you eat?"
"Yes, I ate."
"How about Meng? Did you take her home?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
...
As Qin Miao himself said, he had been staying at home without going out for this period, yet his mom didn't become tired or annoyed as some other parents might when their children are home for a visit.
His mom was happy for a moment when she first saw him back, but then life normalized. When Qin Miao was studying, his mom acted the same as she did now, except she no longer nagged him to do his homework.
This lifestyle of having everything served continued for seven days, including the first two days when Qin Miao returned.
During those seven days, Qin Miao didn't forget to ask Qimeng to prepare a gift for Fan Yue, considering she had helped take care of his mom for a long time.
Meanwhile, Qin Miao also discussed with his mom about her early retirement.
This year, Qin Miao was 19, turning 20 after the new year. His mom had him at 22, so she was only 41 now, though she looked around 33.
This was partly because Qin Miao's mom was naturally carefree, not letting her regular work get her down, aging less as a result. Also, Qin Miao felt the health supplements from the system had a role, as he had left several buckets at home back then.
And now was when his mom was particularly healthy and energetic.
Qin Miao had already achieved financial freedom, transferring 100,000 every month as a living allowance for his mom.
As long as she didn't engage in anything bad, she should be well provided for during her later years.
So there was no need for her to continue working.
Qin Miao wanted to take his mom to England.
This way, he could take care of her more easily, and having her close would lessen his sense of unfamiliarity in a foreign land.
But in the end, his mom refused. No matter how great abroad was, it wasn't home. Qin Miao working in England was no different than someone working in a big city.
The key was that after living so many years with neighbors, his mom didn't want to start over meeting new people; besides, her English wasn't great, though it's known that staying abroad for a while would improve her language skills.
Yet, as mentioned before, with financial freedom, there wasn't a need to exert oneself in a completely unfamiliar environment. Staying in the comfort zone was nice.
True freedom is not doing what you want, but not doing what you don't want.
Since his mom didn't want to go to England, Qin Miao didn't insist.
Before heading to Shanghai, Qin Miao left two bank cards for his mom. One was from him, with a million, and the other from Qimeng, also with a million.
