Chapter 506: Living Up to the Nation's Richest, Indeed!
Chapter 506: Living Up to the Nation's Richest, Indeed!
In the afternoon, Feng Yingying and her boyfriend’s father, now a “mature man,” made Feng ying ying feel at ease.
Deng shirong greeted them and said, "Xiao Feng, you wait in the living room for a moment and have some tea. I still have a few dishes to finish preparing so we can eat soon."
"Okay, Uncle Deng."
Feng Ying Ying responded, then sat down with her boyfriend, his brothers, and their wives to have tea.
Zhang xiu ping smiled and said, "Y ing ying, you look so beautiful, no wonder Xiao Heng's sister-in-law has been praising you non-stop. Xiao heng really has a good eye."
Fan yue mei also smiled and praised, "Yes, not only beautiful, but your skin is so good, truly enviable!"
Feng Ying Ying humbly replied, "Flattering, it’s your sisters-in-law and fourth sister-in-law who are really beautiful!"
zhang xiu ping shook her head and said, "Yue Mei, you are the true beauty!"
Feng ying ying quickly replied, "Where do you get old, you look only a few years older than me, and your beauty and grace are unmatched."
After getting to know each other, they began to chat while drinking tea, praising each other, and soon the conversation turned to house topics.
Deng yu heng couldn't help but to smile and then asked, "Yue mei, this is the most beautiful house I have ever seen. How big is this house really?"
zhang xiu ping laughed and said, "The house is three thousand square meters, after dinner, let Xiao heng show accompany you."
"Three thousand square meters? My goodness!" feng ying ying couldn't help but to gasp.
She had already sensed the house was huge, but she hadn't expected it to be this grand.
A three-thousand-square-meter house, something she had never seen or heard of, truly worthy of the nation's richest person's home.
After talking about the house, feng ying ying looked at f an yue mei and asked, "Fourth sister-in-law, I heard heng ge brother say, did you give birth to a baby in July? Is the baby sleeping?"
Fan yue mei laughed and said, "No, my mother is helping take care of the baby at my parents' home!"
Feng ying ying exclaimed,indicatedly is already a high school student. But now, she has no idea what happened to her brother and sister.
"Of course, they recognize me," she continued, "they must recognize such a beautiful sister, how could they not?"
Speaking of which, zhang xiu ping looked at the time and replied, "probably one more class before school ends, but only her brother is coming back, and she is already in high school, living on campus."
feng ying ying said, "When I was in high school in guangzhou, the living and food conditions were not good. What about the food and living conditions in nan ning?"
zhang xiu ping shook her head and said, "the living and food conditions in nan ning are not much different."
Feng y ing ying asked, "since the conditions are not good, why did deng bo bo arrange for her to live on campus?"
zhang xiu ping laughed and said, "her grandfather cares about her, he couldn't bear for her to suffer. On the first day of school, her grandfather visited the principal, promising to donate a building to the school. In return, they prepared a single room for her with a hot water and air conditioning. comfort.even meals sent to her by the school), it's a big move!"
Feng yinying listened, mouth open in awe at the nation's richest family's generosity. To ensure her granddaughter's well-being at school, he promised a building, at least a million, with all meals delivered daily to school. Just the right moment, the kitchen called with deng shi rong's shout, "yong tai, xiao dong er's lunch box is ready, you take it and have it delivered to her school."
Deng yu heng responded, took the lunch box, and prepared to have the security personnel deliver it to his daughter's school.
"Prepare for dinner!" deng shi rong announced, and everyone, including Deng yu heng and feng ying ying, got up, bringing dishes to the table, and pouring the wine.
Feng ying ying also wanted to help, but as a guest, she didn’t feel right to pitch in. deng yu heng took her to wash hands, then she sat at the table, waiting for dinner.
Just as deng shi rong came up, everything was ready.
Deng shi rong then invited, "xiao feng, don’t be shy, try my cooking!"
Looking at the table full of inviting dishes, feng ying ying couldn't help but to ask, "uncle deng, your skills are surely amazing, these dishes look delicious, but Xiao dong er hasn't returned, shall we wait for him?"
Deng shi rong laughed and said, "no need to wait, I've saved his meal for him."
deng yu heng introduced, "ying YING, this stir-fied pork and steamed earthworms are my father's specialties, do try them."
Seeing deng yu heng start to eat, she didn’t hesitate and took a bite of the steamed earthworm, her eyes lit up, taste was fresh, sweet, and fragrant, flavor unmatched!
then, she tasted the stir-fRIED pork slices, the taste was indescribable, never eaten anything as good.
She also tasted the other dishes, only to be amazed by Uncle Deng's culinary skills, which were on par with professional chefs. It was hard to imagine that the nation's richest person could cook so well.
There was also a dish she had never seen before, and its taste was exceptional, earning her continuous praise.
(This dish is a must-have for the Baise people during festivals and various banquets, and it is one of the most classic dishes in Baise. There are many ways to prepare it, and this is just one of them, which the author shot a few days ago when they returned to their hometown.
Other methods include adding bamboo shoot strips, black fungus strips, white radish strips, and sandworms, among other ingredients.
Almost every Baise person who can cook knows how to make this dish, which is likely invented by the Baise people. In other cities, it is almost impossible to find this dish.)
This meal left Feng Yingying completely stuffed.
On her first visit, she had intended to maintain her image, but the food was so delicious, and after sitting in the car for so long, she was genuinely hungry, so she accidentally ate more than she intended.
Feng Yingying praised, "Uncle Deng, your skills are truly amazing. Even the chefs in famous restaurants can't match the taste of your dishes."
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "Compared to amateurs, I'm not bad, but compared to professional chefs, there might still be some gap."
At that moment, Dongzi's voice came from the foyer, "Grandpa, I'm back!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Dongzi, come over and see who this is."
Dongzi changed his shoes and walked in, passing through the spacious living room and entering the dining area. When he saw Feng Yingying, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "Sister Feng!"
Feng Yingying smiled and greeted him, "Dongzi, we meet again!"
Fan Yue Mei corrected with a smile, "Dongzi, this is your Uncle Man's girlfriend. You shouldn't call her sister anymore; you should call her Aunt Man!"
Dongzi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he then called out with a grin, "Aunt Man!"
Feng Yingying's face instantly turned red. Although she had come to meet the family with Deng Yunheng, and their marriage was almost certain, she hadn't officially married into the family yet. Being suddenly called "Aunt Man" made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, she didn't correct him and instead accepted the title, saying, "Dongzi, go wash your hands and come to eat!"
"Okay," Dongzi replied, then gave Uncle Man a thumbs up and went to wash his hands before returning to eat.
At this point, Zhang Xiuping, Fan Yue Mei, and Feng Yingying were all full, but Deng Shirong and his three sons were still eating because they were drinking.
If they only ate without drinking, they would have been full quickly, but drinking while eating could easily extend the meal for two to three hours.
Zhang Xiuping said, "Dad, take your time drinking. Yue Mei and I will take Yingying to tour the house."
Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "Sure, go ahead!"
Zhang Xiuping stood up and invited, "Yingying, let's go!"
Feng Yingying stood up and said, "Uncle Deng, you take your time."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Alright."
Thus, Feng Yingying, accompanied by her sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, began to tour the massive 3,000-square-meter mansion.
There's no need to describe the next scene; anyone visiting this mansion for the first time would be amazed, and Feng Yingying was no exception.
At the dinner table, Deng Shirong looked at his youngest son and asked, "When do you plan to get married?"
Deng Yunheng put down his chopsticks and said, "We haven't discussed it yet. Dad, you can decide. This year or next year is fine."
Deng Shirong said, "You're already 25 years old, and it's time to get married. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. I'll find a master to calculate a good date for the end of the year."
People's thoughts change with their status and position. In the past, when Deng Shirong was looking for partners for his children, he feared they would repeat the mistakes of his past life, so he personally investigated every detail.
But now, Deng Shirong's thoughts have changed. As long as his son likes the girl, and she meets the standards in appearance, figure, and education, he no longer conducts extensive investigations and simply agrees.
He was confident that no matter what the girl's character was before, once she entered the Deng family, she would gradually become the kind of daughter-in-law he liked.
Just like many women who marry into wealthy families, they will do their best to please their in-laws, dreaming of gaining their approval.
Here, it's worth mentioning Huang Bo's famous quote—after becoming famous, everyone around you is a good person!
Similarly, after achieving a prestigious family background, the women who marry in will definitely be virtuous and good daughters-in-law.
Actually, it's not just about wealthy families. If you observe carefully, you'll notice that women from humble backgrounds, even if they marry into middle-class or well-off families, will strive to show their best to gain their husband's and in-laws' approval.
Those who argue with their husbands or challenge their in-laws are usually from families that are not inferior to or even better than their husband's, or they are exceptionally beautiful and well-matched to their husbands.
In short, women who marry at the same level or below don't have to be so cautious; they can argue and make a fuss as they please. But for those who marry into a higher social status, it's a different story.
People are just that practical.
Deng Yunheng naturally had no objections. Since he had found the girl he liked, it was better to bring her into the family sooner. He said, "Dad, if you decide to hold the wedding at the end of the year, we'll need to go to Guangzhou to meet Yingying's parents and discuss our wedding."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "That's right. I'll pick a time to go and finalize your wedding arrangements."
Deng Yun Tai said, "Dad, now that Xiao Heng is about to start a family, he is different from Yun Heng and Yun Song who are on the political path. Shouldn't we also arrange something for his career?"
Deng Yun Hua nodded and said, "Older Brother is right. Apart from the second and third brothers who are in politics, we and our siblings all have our own careers. Now, it's just Xiao Heng who is left."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my plans. You all work hard to develop, and Xiao Heng's future career won't be any worse than yours."
Deng Yun Heng was taken aback and said, "Dad, I want to be a doctor in the future."
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "There's no conflict there. You have a wife, right? You can be a doctor, and let her manage your business. I will also help you with some investments to earn you a career that won't be inferior to your older brothers."
Deng Shirong naturally wouldn't forget about his youngest son. He had already made plans. Later, he would invest in Alibaba or Tencent under Xiao Heng's name and wait for it to take off. The speed of making money this way would definitely surpass what his older sons could achieve.
If his daughter-in-law wanted to start a business, he could also give her some guidance.
Of course, he wouldn't show favoritism. Deng Shirong would find many more investment opportunities and invest in each of his children. As he approached the end of his life, he would distribute the shares according to the economic gaps between his children, ensuring they wouldn't differ too much. What happened to his descendants after he was gone would be out of his control.
Deng Yun Heng felt a surge of excitement. Although he wasn't particularly interested in business, he wasn't a saint; he hadn't reached the realm of "seeing money as dirt." Being able to do what he loved and not worry about money was the best outcome.
Since his father said he would give him a career as good as his older brothers, he knew his father would definitely make it happen. This life, he really had nothing to worry about.
Deng Yun Tai and Deng Yun Hua also felt relieved. Their current careers were the result of their father's strong support. If their father didn't make similar arrangements for their younger brother, they would feel guilty.
Now that their father had plans for their younger brother, they didn't need to worry anymore.
The four of them continued to drink and chat. Dongzi, being a child, couldn't join in the conversation, so he just sat there and ate, enjoying the abundant and delicious food. Many of the dishes were his favorites, and he ate until his mouth was greasy.
By the time Feng Ying Ying finished touring the house and returned, Deng Shirong and his sons had almost finished drinking.
Deng Yun Heng smiled and asked, "Ying Ying, how was the tour? Did you like the house?"
"Beautiful!"
Feng Ying Ying praised, "Not only is the house big, but the interior decoration is also breathtaking. Even an emperor's bedroom couldn't be more impressive, right?"
Deng Shirong laughed and said, "That's not quite the same. The emperor's bedroom would have priceless treasures as decorations, but in the civilian world, our house is indeed quite impressive."
After praising the house for a while, Fan Yue Mei asked, "Ying Ying, are you tired? If you are, you can take a shower and rest early. If not, we can go downstairs to the internet cafe. I'm sure you'd be interested in that."
Feng Ying Ying perked up and said, "Fourth Sister-in-Law, I'm not tired."
Fan Yue Mei smiled and waved her hand, "Then let's go. Do you want to come, First Sister-in-Law?"
Zhang Xiuping laughed and said, "Sure, let's all go!"
Thus, the three soon-to-be sisters-in-law went downstairs to the internet cafe together.
Dongzi, having finished his meal, had already gone downstairs earlier.
The internet cafe was like a fish in water for Dongzi; he loved it.
Deng Shirong was quite open-minded. As long as Dongzi didn't skip school to go online, he could do as he pleased. Everyone had already given up on his studies, knowing he wasn't cut out for it.
When they went downstairs, the vast internet cafe once again amazed Feng Ying Ying.
The Vanguard Internet Cafe had grown from the initial 50 computers. It had developed exponentially, and the number of internet users kept increasing. The number of computers had now reached a total of 350.
The usage rate was extremely high, making it a gold mine.
The cafe was also well-organized with clear divisions, and the spacious layout made it very comfortable.
It was still dinner time, but the internet cafe already had over a hundred people, with more customers constantly arriving. Feng Ying Ying was amazed and said, "Fourth Sister-in-Law, the popularity of your internet cafe is really high. There are so many customers even during dinner time. By 8 or 9 PM, it must be packed, right?"
Fan Yue Mei smiled and said, "The popularity is indeed good. After all, it's the only internet cafe in Nanning. Before opening this cafe, I never imagined there were so many rich people in Nanning."
She wasn't exaggerating. At that time, only the "rich" could afford to go online.
It was 1996, and internet cafes in China were just starting. The cost of going online was extremely high. The Vanguard Internet Cafe charged 15 yuan per hour. Only those from wealthy families would be willing to spend so much money to go online.
