Chapter 269: 269. Mr. Liu's Son is Promising
Liu's mother took her son's hand and looked at him through the lights installed outside the gate. Her son, dressed handsomely and with an unusual temperament, made her truly happy.
"Grandma, I'm here! Do you miss me?" Lila opened the car door by herself, ran over, hugged Liu's mother's leg, and shouted affectionately.
"Oh, my little lila! I think about you, I really do! " Liu's mother exclaimed as she saw her granddaughter. Her face wrinkled with joy, and she quickly bent down to hug the little girl, kissing her on the cheek.
Lila couldn't stop laughing.
She wore an old gray skirt, slightly faded short sleeves on her upper body, blue baggy shorts, lean hands and arms, and black sandals on her feet.
Father Liu, who had spent years working in the fields, walked out of the house with a cigarette in hand, his tanned face showing the marks of hard labor. Standing at 170 cm, he looked at his son.
"Dad—" Jason Liu said, his voice trembling slightly. Seeing the wrinkles on his father's dark face and the increasing number of white hairs on his head, he felt suddenly touched. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how. He simply called out, "Dad."
Father Liu pulled his jacket back, looked up at his son, who was a head taller than him, and nodded. Compared to his son, he was less verbal, wanting to express concern but unsure of how. He moved his mouth, and finally, Father Liu said, "You're back. Come home quickly."
"Victor, is this Jason coming back?" A man about the same age as Father Liu, wearing a bare back and a blue short-sleeve shirt draped over his shoulders, asked with a smile.
"Yes, he's back!" William, watching the man approach, smiled broadly.
"Uncle William !" Jason Liu greeted him. This man was his father's old friend, and the two families had always shared a strong bond.
"See? I told you Jason was back!" their neighbor, said happily.
The people who had been playing cards and chatting in front of the small supermarket gathered around, all gazing in amazement at the sports car parked outside.
"Honey, Jason is doing really well! He can afford such an expensive car!"
"Oh, this car is so beautiful. I've seen it on TV before!"
"Jason, I can feel the difference just by looking at the car. It's definitely not like any other small cars!"
"Hahaha, be careful! If you touch the paint, you might not be able to pay for it with all the sheep you raise!"
"Hahaha, that's right! be careful! Don't touch the skin of the car!"
"Yeah, yeah! If the paint gets scratched, you won't have enough money to marry a wife! Hahaha!"
The crowd around them burst into laughter.
Jason Liu couldn't help but laugh as well. He quickly shouted, "Uncle Hank, it's okay! Don't be afraid! You can touch it. Even if the paint gets scratched or the skin gets damaged, I won't ask you for compensation. Feel free to touch it!"
Liu Hank, who had always been called Uncle Hank by Jason, didn't know what his real name was. He had grown up with Jason's father, and even the children called him Uncle Hank.
This man, a year younger than Jason's father, had lost both his parents early. He worked the land and raised sheep on his own. At 47 years old, he was still a bachelor.
It was said that when he was a child, he had a fever over 40°C, which burned his brain, leaving him somewhat mentally slow. He spent his days happily tending to the few sheep he raised by the river. Despite his challenges, his cheerful demeanor was much brighter than most people's.
Seeing the crowd gathered around, all of them neighbors from nearby, Jason Liu's parents opened the iron gate of their house, pulled out several benches, and invited everyone in to sit in the courtyard.
Father Liu took out two large green-skinned watermelons, cut them into pieces with a knife, and handed them around.
The neighbors were also curious about how Jason Liu, Mr. Liu's son, had managed to afford such an expensive car.
They remembered when Jason had stayed home for two months during the New Year last year. At that time, he was just an ordinary boy who even used a passenger car to get home.
Now, just over half a year later, he was driving such an impressive vehicle—how could they not be surprised?
Hearing someone ask, Liu Ma, sitting on the plastic bench with Lila eating watermelon in her arms, replied happily and proudly, "Ah, this child quit his previous job half a year ago and is now partnering with a friend to run a business. He's making money and starting a company. Not only did he buy this car, but he also bought a villa!"
"Let me show you! I still have pictures of the villa that Jason sent me on my phone. It's beautiful!"
Liu's mother asked Lila to get off her lap, took out her phone, and began showing the photos to her neighbor, Aunt Grace, and a few other nearby women.
"Auntie, what's the name of Jason's company? I'll look it up online," a younger man asked Liu's mother.
"Fusion Trading. It's called Fusion Trading. You can check it on that software and find it right away.
Others gathered around, eager to see if Jason Liu had really started a company.
Soon, the young man used his phone to look up information about Fusion Trading Co., Ltd.
"Fusion Trading Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 500 million yuan. The company's chairman and general manager is Jason Liu..."
"Oh, 50 million! So much money!" Someone exclaimed, quickly counting the zeros in the registered capital.
"50 million? That's a lot!"
"Did Jason make that much money? He's really capable..."
"your son is promising! You two can enjoy happiness in the future!"
"Jason, do you still need people in your company? I have a niece who just graduated from college this year. She has an undergraduate degree like you. Would you consider taking her on?" An aunt looked at Jason Liu expectantly.
Jason Liu had known all along that once the news of his company spread, people would want to know about it. However, he wasn't ready to reveal all the details just yet.
