Chapter 197: The Shock and Envy of the Relatives

Apart from Tang Feng’s Third Uncle and his wife, the rest all agreed to work at the supermarket.

“We are family, but I still need to make something clear! In addition to paying everyone a salary on time every month, I will also give out a bonus at the end of the year based on the supermarket’s performance! Of course, if there’s a chance for the supermarket to go public in the future, I will also share some of the supermarket’s shares with you!” Tang Long looked around at everyone and said word by word.

“Big brother, what does going public mean? It sounds very high-end,” the Second Uncle asked with interest.

“Let little Feng explain going public to everyone,” Tang Long said.

Tang Feng explained it in detail.

“Little Feng, do you mean that as long as the company goes public, we can all make a lot of money?” the Second Aunt quickly asked.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, “Once the company goes public, anyone who owns shares of the supermarket will naturally receive a very generous return.”

“Old Three, did you hear that? Once it goes public, we can make a lot of money! Forget about starting a renovation company! Come work with us!” the Second Uncle began to persuade the Third Uncle.

The Third Uncle shook his head, “I still want to do something I like.”

Seeing him say this, the Second Uncle naturally did not insist further.

“Alright! Let’s leave it at that! After we eat, I’ll take you all over to have a look around! Old Three, you can do a field survey and see where to start,” Tang Long said.

The Third Uncle nodded.

“It’s getting late! I’ll start cooking,” Tang Feng said, heading to the kitchen.

“Big brother, I really envy you two for having raised such a successful child like little Feng! I don’t know how many good deeds you did in your past lives!” Tang Feng’s Second Aunt couldn’t help but exclaim.

Tang Long chuckled, “little Feng really does make us proud.”

As the saying goes, parents hope their sons will become dragons and their daughters phoenixes. As a father, Tang Long naturally hoped his son would bring glory to the family.

“By the way, big brother, last time during dinner, you mentioned that little Feng started a company in the Capital! What does the company do?” his Third Uncle changed the subject.

“It seems to be something related to the internet. The chat tool everyone uses online was developed by him,” Tang Long answered.

“Brother, you’re not talking about the UU chat software, are you?” Tang Feng’s maternal aunt couldn’t help but guess.

She liked to surf the internet and had a computer at home with broadband. She enjoyed browsing the internet in her free time.

“Yes! It’s that chat software!” Tang Long nodded.

“My goodness! That chat software is the hottest on the market right now! I heard it has several hundred million users!” Tang Feng’s maternal aunt showed a shocked expression.

She couldn’t believe the chat software she used every day was developed by her own nephew.

“Listening to you talk, I feel completely out of the loop. It seems I also need to buy a computer! Otherwise, I’ll feel disconnected from this era,” the Second Aunt said with a wry smile.

“In today’s society, it’s really necessary to have a computer at home! After all, everyone is going online, and if you don’t, you’ll definitely be left behind,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“After Tang Feng finishes cooking and comes out, I’ll have to ask him to recommend a computer brand to me. After all, I don’t know much about this stuff,” the Second Aunt said.

“Sister-in-law, it’s unbelievable how impressive little Feng is now! Such a popular chat software must be making a lot of money!” the eldest aunt’s eyes were filled with envy.

“I’m not sure how much money it makes. We don’t really understand the internet, so we don’t ask too much about it,” Tang Feng’s mother answered.

“The chat software is free! They probably make money through advertising,” Tang Feng’s maternal aunt guessed.

“If that’s the case, they must be making a lot! It seems it won’t be long before little Feng buys you a bigger house,” the Second Aunt also became incredibly envious.

When relatives and friends gather, they often talk about these family matters.

And because of this, relatives with higher incomes tend to be especially happy.

After all, they speak with more confidence.

“We’re already living in a big enough house! There’s no need for a bigger one! Besides, little Feng is still in school and spends most of his time in the Capital. He hardly comes back. Even if he wanted to buy us a bigger house, I wouldn’t agree,” Tang Feng’s mother said with a broad smile.

The female relatives, in particular, felt somewhat bitter after hearing her words.

Everyone knew Tang Feng’s mother was being polite. If Tang Feng really bought them a bigger house, they would be more than happy to move in.

Soon, Tang Feng prepared two tables full of dishes.

One table for the men and one for the women.

Luckily, Tang Feng’s living room was big enough to accommodate so many people.

When everyone sat down at the dining table, Tang Long brought out a case of Maotai liquor.

“Big brother, you don’t drink this on a regular basis, do you?” the Second Uncle asked, picking up a bottle.

“Think about it! Maotai is not cheap! I usually drink bulk liquor,” Tang Long responded.

“That makes sense! Drinking such expensive liquor every day would indeed be wasteful,” the Second Uncle nodded.

“Today, as we’re all gathered here, I’m willing to bring out such good liquor! Let’s drink to our heart’s content this afternoon!” Tang Long said while pouring drinks for everyone.

Soon, everyone’s cups were filled.

Tang Long made a few opening remarks, and then everyone began to eat and drink.

The living room became lively in no time.

“Little Feng, when do you plan to visit my house for New Year’s greetings this year?” his eldest uncle asked.

“Isn’t it always on the third day? Is there something special about this year?” Tang Feng was puzzled.

“The third is when we have dinner at your grandmother’s house! Find another time to come to my house for a meal,” the eldest uncle explained.

“Eldest uncle, it’s not necessary to go through so much trouble! It’s fine if we all meet on the third and have a meal together. I plan to return to the Capital early after the New Year,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Aren’t schools usually not starting until after the Lantern Festival? Why are you going back so early?” the Second Uncle asked curiously.

“I have a lot of work waiting for me! If I go back too late, it will definitely delay the progress,” Tang Feng answered.

“In that case, we’ll just gather at your grandmother’s house on the third!” his eldest uncle appeared somewhat disappointed.

After dinner, Tang Feng’s Second Aunt approached him.

“Little Feng, your aunt is planning to buy a computer to surf the internet at home! Can you recommend a good brand for me?” Tang Feng’s Second Aunt said with a smile.

“There’s no need for recommendations! I’ll have one delivered to each family!” Tang Feng offered.

“No need!” the Second Aunt waved her hand, “We can afford to buy a computer.”

“Second Aunt, don’t be polite with me! I’ll call someone to deliver it later,” Tang Feng said with a laugh.

For him now, a dozen computers were just a drop in the ocean!
