The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 718 - 0: Never Forget Your Roots When You’re Rich
Chapter 718: Chapter 0718: Never Forget Your Roots When You’re Rich
Lin Yingying supported Lin Shirong as she personally saw Long Fei and the others off.
She instructed Long Fei to take his grandfather around the city more, to explore all the fun and delicious places.
Lin Shirong wanted her to accompany them, but she excused herself, citing other matters to attend to.
Long Fei knew she was planning to persuade Wang Xiaoya.
He left alone with his grandfather and Li Fugui, planning to show them around Lin’s Group first.
Lin Shirong, face dark with anger, let Lin Yingying help him back before he couldn’t help but curse at the people in the room, "Disgraceful bunch, do we still remember the ancestral teachings of the Lin Family? ’To carry virtue and embrace all’. When you all go back, memorize these eight words for me. The young ones aren’t sensible, but the adults are even more muddled. Each one of you thinks you’re so refined as city folks, yet even a three-year-old child is better than you."
The crowd of relatives fell silent, not expecting the old man to suddenly erupt with such fury.
Lin Guohao said, "Dad, aren’t we doing this for Yingying, for the reputation of the Lin Family?"
Lin Shirong scolded, "Shut your mouth, don’t think I’m senile and blind to your true intentions. If any of you looks down on folks from the village during my granddaughter’s wedding, just stay in the city and don’t come embarrass me further. You really don’t know how much you weigh, yet you have the cheek to look down on others. Do you know how much Long Fei is worth, what status he has now?"
Lin Guohao hung his head, his face turning red with shame as he was scolded.
Zheng Fang spoke up for her husband, "Dad, Guohao is also thinking of the Lin Family’s best interest! That Long Fei is just a little security guard, and with those shares from the Lin Family, that’s all the money he has, isn’t that what you gave him?"
"Frogs at the bottom of a well!"
Lin Shirong took a deep breath and said to Lin Yingying in a suppressed tone, "Yingying, tell them, let these city-dwellers broaden their horizons."
Lin Yingying, feeling vindicated, glanced at the relatives and said, "Alright then, I won’t mention the small change. You know about the Zhang Family from Xianggang, don’t you? One of the top fifty enterprises on the Forbes list, Long Fei holds a twenty percent share there. Shanshan’s newly merged Lei’s Group, Long Fei owns fifty-five percent. To put it in terms of worth, he’s worth at least 300 billion. You mock him for being a little security guard—first, make three billion yourselves."
"300 billion?"
"When did this happen?"
"My goodness, how did we not know about this?"
"How can he be so rich?"
Lin Guohao, Zheng Fang, and Zheng Tuo stared at Lin Yingying, dumbfounded.
Only Lin Shanshan was calm, shaking her head and looking at the relatives with a schadenfreude smirk.
The parasites of the Lin Family were just talked about in billions, yet they couldn’t even make three million.
In the downstream enterprises of Lin’s Group, which one isn’t just living off fraudulent accounts and subsidies from the main company?
Expecting them to make money is like expecting the sun to rise from the west!
Long Fei spent the entire day in trepidation.
Not knowing how Lin Yingying’s talk with Wang Xiaoya was going, he checked his phone but dared not contact them.
Long Santai, disliking the noise, didn’t stay on the streets for long before asking Long Fei to take him back to the urban village.
Li Fugui was somewhat reluctant to leave; he had gained quite a lot from this trip.
Long Fei bought him a branded Zhongshan suit, replacing the pen in his pocket with a Parker brand.
Walking past a watch store, Long Fei took off the Shanghai brand watch he had worn for over thirty years and bought Li Fugui an entry-level Tissot watch.
Even at the entry-level, the selling price of over five thousand stunned Li Fugui.
Originally, Long Fei had wanted to buy him a more upscale watch, but he said the upper levels were cracking down on corruption.
Wearing a branded watch might attract unwanted attention if someone decided to investigate.
The three of them returned to the rental house, where Li Fugui took a look around and kept praising, "The decoration here is really nice, look at this, isn’t that a leather sofa?"
Long Fei smiled and brewed some tea for them.
If he took Li Fugui to the villa for a couple of days, he reckoned the man might get carried away once he returned home.
He said to Long Santai, "Grandpa, how about I take you for a walk by the seaside tomorrow?"
Long Santai glanced at him and said, "We’ve made our living off the sea, why spend money on that? The city is too noisy. Just hurry up and send us back!"
Li Fugui said, "Right, right, we’ll go back tomorrow. We still need to help with your wedding preparations! These relatives of yours seem quite picky, so I’ve decided to give the village a bit more decoration."
He had actually changed his outfit, keen to hurry back and show it off.
Long Fei smiled and didn’t say anything. The villagers were used to beautiful mountains and waters and were not interested in the city’s parks or tourist spots.
Just now, when they were eating out, Long Fei had taken them to try hamburgers and pizza on purpose.
The old man kept saying they were not as good as meat sandwiches and handed the food to Long Fei, asking him to buy more meat sandwiches from outside.
For the older generation, life in the city was really something they couldn’t get used to so quickly.
He had them wash up and then stay in his own room. After settling them down, he went outside for a smoke.
At that moment, someone downstairs suddenly shouted, "Long Fei, are you up there?"
"Yes!"
Long Fei responded and walked down the stairs.
He Yan had just come back with Little Tiantian, and upon seeing Long Fei, she happily said, "Congratulations, you’re finally going to tie the knot."
Long Fei chuckled and pulled out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket for Little Tiantian.
They had bought quite a few at the supermarket just before, and he had casually stuffed a few into his pocket.
Little Tiantian pouted unhappily, "Uncle Long has no taste. My mom is so pretty, why don’t you marry her?"
"What nonsense!"
He Yan hurriedly covered her mouth.
Long Fei was amused by her and knelt down, patting her annoyed little face, "Don’t worry, your mom will find a man who is even better than Uncle Long. Uncle Long might not marry your mom, but he’ll still treat you like his own daughter."
"That’s more like it!"
Little Tiantian pouted and sweetly hugged Long Fei’s neck.
He Yan pulled out a red envelope and handed it to Long Fei, saying, "I won’t be attending your wedding the day after tomorrow. Take the red envelope, don’t think it’s too little. It’s just a small token of my good wishes."
"Why won’t you come? Tomorrow you and Tiantian come with me, consider it a little getaway."
Long Fei frowned slightly.
He Yan said awkwardly, "I’m a divorced woman, it’s not appropriate for me to attend your wedding. Besides, your friends with Director Lin are definitely wealthy people. If I went, I would embarrass you."
She was clearly uncomfortable, speaking with some trepidation.
In front of Long Fei, she felt the distance between them growing further and further apart.
Now, Long Fei seemed to be standing high above in the skies, while she could only look up to him.
Long Fei accepted the red envelope, not for the money, but just to put He Yan’s mind at ease.
This woman had taken care of him like an older sister when he first came to the city. Now she seemed so humble, which made Long Fei feel a deep sense of regret.
He had already planned to give her a big gift, he just hadn’t told her yet.
After going back to work after the new year, she would be shocked by this gift.
He Yan didn’t know yet that Long Fei had arranged for someone to buy the mobile phone store where she worked, including the premises it rented.
In the future, she and her daughter would live well off the mobile phone store.
