"You are still a child, why do you need so much money? Just leave it with your dad for now, and I'll give it to you when you grow up." Chen Xiumin's Dad seemed worried that his daughter might really not give it to him, tightly gripping the handle of the safe.
"No way, who told you to say that just now?" Chen Xiumin pretended to be angry.
Chen Haoxuan spoke up, "Alright! Uncle, Xiaomin is just joking with you! Just check the money! If the amount is correct, I'll head back; there are still many things to take care of at home!"
"No need to check, we absolutely trust you in business." Chen Xiumin's Dad said firmly. Chen Haoxuan would never deceive him; if he were to trick anyone, it would be his daughter. As long as he successfully convinced her not to disclose the matter of the Water Stone, he could completely pocket the five hundred thousand Renminbi.
"Then I'll take my leave," Chen Haoxuan said as he stood up.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan about to leave, Chen Xiumin's Dad quickly stood up and said to him, "Xuan, wait a moment. My wife and I also went to the river to collect Water Stones today. Since I've seen so many people taking Water Stones to sell at your place, I thought I would wait until tomorrow morning to bring them to you. If you're not too busy right now, could you take these Water Stones from me?"
"Sure, but you'll need to help me carry them back home," Chen Haoxuan replied readily.
Chen Xiumin's Parents had done very well today, collecting a large number of Water Stones. Although there were many, their quality was poor. For two sacks of Water Stones, Chen Haoxuan offered one hundred yuan; this reflected the difference in quality and quantity. When Chen Haoxuan stated this price, Chen Xiumin laughed nearby; indeed, she was mocking her parents. She earned much more money than they did each time, this time even fifty thousand times more.
Chen Xiumin's Parents used a handcart to transport the Water Stones to Chen Haoxuan's house. After returning home, they immediately discussed how to use the five hundred thousand Renminbi. They finally decided to build a two-story house, buy a motorcycle, and save the rest in the bank for their child's education.
Chen Xiumin could now be considered the happiest girl; her parents treated her exceptionally well and were very compliant with her wishes. Whatever she wanted, her parents would provide. Because in their eyes, she was already a little God of Wealth; her luck made them feel inferior. They worked hard collecting Water Stones only to sell them for one hundred yuan while their daughter found Water Stones during playtime and earned five hundred thousand Renminbi.
After three days of purchasing Water Stones at home, Chen Haoxuan dared not continue; he feared that if he kept buying them, his house would be filled with Water Stones. Now in Chen Haoxuan's garden lay a large pile of Water Stones that sparkled like gold under the sunlight.
Additionally, Chen Haoxuan's villa had been completed and furnished; everything was taken care of. However, some plants recently planted in the garden lacked a bit of natural growth. Nevertheless, this did not affect the villa's grandeur and uniqueness. Every day many villagers enjoyed lingering at Chen Haoxuan's doorstep to admire his villa; they had never seen such a luxurious and unique residence before.
Wang Long from the construction company listened to Foreman's description and arrived at Chen Family Village, specifically at Chen Haoxuan's home. Upon seeing Chen Haoxuan's villa, he exclaimed that it was a masterpiece. As someone in the construction business, he had seen various types of buildings but had never encountered a villa as unique as Chen Haoxuan's. He felt that Chen Haoxuan's villa was not just a house but a grand and magnificent work of art.
This villa was designed by Chen Haoxuan, and Wang Long wanted to build a similar one. Therefore, he approached Chen Haoxuan to ask if he could replicate his villa. "It's just a design; it doesn't matter!" Chen Haoxuan readily agreed to Wang Long's request and shared some important considerations with him.
In rural areas, when a new house is built, it is customary to hold a banquet to celebrate with friends and family. Although Chen Haoxuan's villa was completed, he did not host a celebration. He had no relatives; he was an orphan abandoned by everyone.
Aside from the excitement surrounding Chen Haoxuan, another significant event in Chen Family Village was that Chen Xiumin's family was also building a new house. Their resources were not as substantial as Chen Haoxuan's, so they sought help from someone in the village who could construct houses. Chen Xiumin's mother revealed that they were able to build their new home because they sold a valuable stone to Chen Haoxuan.
Now the villagers understood that the best way to get rich was to do business with Chen Haoxuan. With good fortune, they might also be able to buy motorcycles or build houses like Chen Xiumin's family. In Chen Family Village, very few could afford to build houses, so those who could were considered wealthy.
On July 2nd, Chen Haoxuan returned to New City and went directly to New City University to find Yang Lin. He needed Yang Lin's assistance. After having severely beaten Li Kun and his group last time, he worried that they might not give up and would come looking for trouble again. While Chen Haoxuan himself was not afraid of Li Kun and his thugs, he was concerned about the safety of those working for him.
Yang Lin often boasted about knowing many influential figures in the underworld in front of Chen Haoxuan, so he thought it would be wise to have Yang Lin intervene and warn Li Kun.
When Chen Haoxuan arrived in New City, he called Yang Lin and asked him to meet at the lawn in front of the library.
Yang Lin quickly arrived at the library and saw Chen Haoxuan lying on the grass asleep. He couldn't help but joke, "Xuan, lying here in the sun, what a refined taste!"
Seeing Yang Lin had come, Chen Haoxuan sat up and said, "Sit down; I need to talk to you." After saying this, he naturally took out a cigar and handed it to Yang Lin.
Yang Lin accepted the cigar, sat down next to Chen Haoxuan, lit it up, and asked, "What do you need me for?"
Chen Haoxuan slowly explained the situation to Yang Lin. After hearing this, Yang Lin cursed loudly, "Damn it! There are actually brothers like that; I really want to go beat him up."
"I am no different, but I have decided to let him go this time. If there is a next time, I will deal with him," Chen Haoxuan said coldly.
"Alright, when you deal with him, make sure to call me. I love taking down people like him," Yang Lin replied angrily.
"Let's not talk about him for now. I came to ask you to help me find someone influential in the area to warn Li Kun, so he will stop provoking me in the future," Chen Haoxuan said to Yang Lin.
"Why bother with anyone else? I can just bring dozens of people and take care of Li Kun myself," Yang Lin said ruthlessly.
"Although they have provoked me, they haven't crossed the line completely, so I don't want to be too harsh. Besides, everyone has some backing; Li Kun might have his own. To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's just warn him," Chen Haoxuan replied.
