Chapter 222: If I Win, You’ll Have Another Child for Me (Part 1/2)

He had just gotten home not long ago when Su Xiaoli and the others also returned.

“Feng, when did you get back?” Su Xiaoli was visibly surprised to see him.

“I’ve been back for about half an hour,” Tang Feng answered.

“How did your talk with Zhu Zihang go?” Su Xiaoli continued.

“We’ve pretty much covered everything. Has the house transfer been completed?” Tang Feng inquired.

“We’ve already completed the registration process. We can pick up the property deed in half a month,” Su Xiaoli responded.

“Find the best renovation company in China to redo the two courtyards. Once the renovation is nearly done, we’ll move there,” Tang Feng instructed.

“Wouldn’t it be a bit inconvenient with so many rooms in the courtyard?” Su Xiaoli worried.

“What’s inconvenient about that? We can have a domestic service company take care of cleaning, or we could directly hire a few full-time cleaners. Also, hire a couple of chefs for cooking. That way, we won’t need to cook ourselves, and we can also entertain friends and family at home,” Tang Feng explained.

“That’s a good idea! Xiaoli, Tang Feng is doing this for your sake! This way, your life will be much easier,” Yu Li commented.

“Yes! Then you can focus all your energy on your career and not have to do those simple repetitive missions,” Ning Xiao added.

“We can often come over to your place for meals, and it won’t be much pressure! Otherwise, every time we see you two cooking, we feel very embarrassed,” Guan Qian said.

“But hiring so many people, the monthly expenditure isn’t a small amount,” Su Xiaoli expressed concern.

“It shouldn’t cost too much. Just a few tens of thousands a month. For Tang Feng, that amount of money is just a drop in the bucket!” Ning Xiao joked.

“Don’t worry about the money. What’s the point of earning money? Clearly, it’s to live a comfortable life. If you can’t enjoy life with the money you earn, I believe many people will lose their motivation to make money,” Tang Feng stated calmly.

“What Tang Feng said is right! With money, you should enjoy life! Otherwise, what’s the point of earning so much money, just to keep it in the bank?” Yu Li added.

“Money must be spent. If wealthy people don’t spend, then many others won’t be able to make money. It’s determined by market mechanisms. What we need to do is, when hiring others, to provide as much welfare and benefits as possible. That way, they’re happy to work, and we’re happy too,” Tang Feng elaborated.

“You also make sense. Wealthy people should indeed spend. Only then will everyone earn more income,” Su Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully.

“Wealth is fluid. If wealth stops flowing, then society will definitely lose its vitality. You all studied finance, so you definitely understand this principle,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

Su Xiaoli and the others nodded in agreement.

“It’s getting late! You guys chat for a while! I’m going to cook,” Tang Feng said as he stood up.

“I’ll cook!” Su Xiaoli offered.

“You stay and chat with Ning Xiao and the others! Cook some other day,” Tang Feng said before heading to the kitchen.

“Xiaoli! We’ve decided, we won’t come to your place as often in the future!” Ning Xiao half-joked.

“Ah? Why is that?” Su Xiaoli was clearly taken aback.

“Every time we come here, we have to endure a serving of dog food. Once or twice is okay, but every time is a bit too much for my stomach,” Ning Xiao’s tone carried a hint of grievance.

Hearing her words, Su Xiaoli’s face turned red.

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

“Alright! Stop teasing Xiaoli! Tang Feng being so good to her, we should be happy for her! Hopefully, one day, we’ll also meet someone as good as Tang Feng!” Yu Li said, though with a bit of lack of confidence.

“Let’s not daydream in broad daylight! A guy like Tang Feng, there’s probably only one in the whole world!” Ning Xiao rolled her eyes.

“Xiaoli, it’s all your fault! Having us witness Tang Feng’s goodness to you, yet we can’t find such a man ourselves!” Yu Li exclaimed.

“Stop teasing Xiaoli here! If she takes it seriously, we might lose our chance to freeload meals,” Guan Qian shouted.

“You guys just gang up to bully me!” Su Xiaoli was somewhat amused yet felt sweet inside.

After all, she had always felt Tang Feng’s kindness towards her.

She was very clear in her heart that Tang Feng was sincerely good to her.

And there weren’t any other factors involved.

Although she didn’t know why Tang Feng did this, no matter what, with Tang Feng being so good to her, she naturally wanted to cherish it doubly.

“Xiaoli, once the courtyard is renovated, are you guys moving there?” Ning Xiao changed the subject.

“Pretty much!” Su Xiaoli nodded.

“What are you planning to do with this villa? Just leave it empty or rent it out?” Ning Xiao continued.

“We haven’t decided yet. Do you have any ideas?” Su Xiaoli asked.

Ning Xiao chuckled and said, “If your villa is going to be empty, could we move in? That way, we don’t have to stay in the dorm all the time, and everyone can have their own space.”

“I might have to ask Tang Feng about that. I’m afraid he might not be happy if I agree without consulting him,” Su Xiaoli appeared troubled.

“That makes sense. Discuss it with him and let us know,” Ning Xiao nodded.

“Okay! I’ll let you know!” Su Xiaoli agreed.

Soon, Tang Feng had dinner ready.

He called everyone to the dining table.

While eating and chatting,

“Xiaoli, you need to hurry up with the renovation of the courtyard! Once we move out, if Ning Xiao and the others don’t mind, they can move in,” Tang Feng said while serving food into Su Xiaoli’s bowl.

Su Xiaoli and the others were collectively stunned upon hearing Tang Feng’s words.

“Feng, did you hear our conversation while you were cooking?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“No!” Tang Feng shook his head, “The kitchen was noisy, how could I hear your conversation.”

“Then why did you suddenly bring this up?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“I was just thinking while cooking. Once the courtyard is renovated, we’re definitely moving there! This villa will definitely be left empty! If we rent it out, I’m worried it might get damaged! It’s naturally most appropriate for Ning Xiao and the others to live here,” Tang Feng explained simply.

“Tang Feng, not to hide from you, we were just talking about this with Xiaoli! It was my idea! But Xiaoli didn’t immediately agree! She was worried you wouldn’t agree, so she planned to discuss it with you,” Ning Xiao said.
