Chapter 135: Being Honest with Mom (2/2)

“Shh!”

“The secret is… I’m going to bite you! ?*??(ˊ?ˋ*)??*?”

“Ouch!”

…………………………………

That night, Zhao Qingfeng didn’t go to study at Shen Lingyao’s house. Instead, he instructed her to come to his house the next morning, saying there would be a good show to watch, and he also planned to return the 30,000 yuan to her as well as the 20,000 yuan owed to Aunt Ding.

After returning home.

Qingfeng’s mom was preparing some necessities for the university entrance exam.

Besides the water and cooling oil she had bought earlier, she also bought two umbrellas and a case of Red Bull.

Zhao Qingfeng sat his mother down.

After pouring her a glass of water, he told her everything that had happened at the Erlunsi’s headquarters over the past few days.

Qingfeng’s mom became more and more astonished as she listened.

To her, hearing her son recount these events was like listening to a tale from Arabian Nights.

He was only eighteen.

And he had become the Chief Operating Officer overnight?

Qingfeng’s mom was a hundred times reluctant to believe.

If it was true, her son was too incredible, leaving her restless, half-believing and half-doubting, and she involuntarily asked many detailed questions.

“All those adults were convinced by you? How do you know so much? Son, you’re not involved in a scam, are you?”

Qingfeng’s mom’s biggest worry was Zhao Qingfeng picking up bad habits.

“Mom! What scam? I learned it all online. I’m telling you, the internet is incredible, not only can you understand the world through it, but you can also make big money with it!”

Zhao Qingfeng attributed everything to the online world that Feng’s mom knew nothing about.

“…”

His mom fell silent.

After drinking some water, she felt it was unreal and went to the bathroom to wash her face properly.

Upon returning.

She grabbed Zhao Qingfeng’s hand and asked again, “Son, did you just say that now you earn more than ten thousand a month? I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?”

In 2001, the salary of an ordinary worker was only a thousand or eight hundred yuan.

Even someone like Shen Kuo, who was the head of an office, could only earn nearly two thousand.

More than ten thousand.

Not to mention in 2001.

Even in 2023, it was a high salary that many ordinary people couldn’t imagine.

Feng’s mom thought of Brother Zhao.

Back in the day, working his life away at the brewery, doing night shifts in three shifts, he only earned a little more than a hundred yuan more than a regular worker.

But now.

Her eighteen-year-old son had suddenly become a senior manager at Erlunsi in just one day, which she found hard to believe, yet she desperately wanted to believe, because she hoped so much to see her son make something of himself.

“Mom, let me prove it to you.”

Zhao Qingfeng took out his phone, called the 114 directory service, and got the number for Erlunsi’s headquarters.

Then.

He dialed through, called the front desk, and announced his name.

Qingfeng’s mom listened nervously beside him.

When she heard the receptionist respectfully call out ‘Officer Zhao,’

Qingfeng’s mom’s heart soared immediately.

Zhao Qingfeng briefly gave a couple of instructions and hung up the phone with ease.

Tears uncontrollably flowed from his mom’s eyes, overwhelmed with joy, she didn’t know how to cope or accept this reality.

She quickly thought of Ding Xiang and the others, “Little Feng, have you told them yet?”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “Mom, not yet. I plan to have a good talk with them after the university entrance exam because, as you know, this sounds unbelievable, explaining is troublesome, and I also don’t want Lingyao to know too soon, so she doesn’t worry about me.”

Unintentionally, Zhao Qingfeng spoke his heart out.

Feng’s mom was startled, then joyfully asked, “Little Feng, do you like Lingyao?”

Zhao Qingfeng’s face immediately turned red.

He didn’t dare to answer, turned back to his room, then peeked out again, blushing, “Mom, tomorrow morning those three evil women will come to make trouble. Don’t worry or get upset when they do, everything is under my control.”
