Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

"My son bought me a new car when he came home for the New Year, and after so many years, I can finally say I'm part of the car-owning group."

In the big family group chat, Li Weijun, who usually only shares marketing articles, suddenly posted a photo with a caption, instantly sparking excitement throughout the chat.

This group not only includes Li Weijun's siblings but also many Li Family cousins and more distant relatives.

Li Fuguo, the eldest uncle, was the first to reply: "Xiaojing came back? Did he buy you an Audi?"

"Xiaojing is great, not only successful but also filial!"

After saying this, Li Fuguo sent a huge golden thumbs-up emoticon, typical of older adults' aesthetic.

Since Li Fuguo had visited Tianhai during the National Day holiday and witnessed Li Jing's financial capabilities, he had no doubt about Li Weijun's words and immediately expressed his congratulations.

With Li Fuguo's comment setting the tone, even relatives who had been somewhat skeptical could only follow suit and like and congratulate below.

"Xiaojing is really successful, this car isn't cheap, right!"

"Congratulations Brother Weijun on getting a new car!"

"Xiaojing is indeed the most accomplished in our Li Family, truly showing that good students do well."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Weijun has a great son."

It's unclear whether the praise was heartfelt or merely obligatory, but both familiar and unfamiliar relatives enthusiastically liked and complimented below.

Seeing this, Li Weijun, already excited, became even happier and immediately sent a two hundred yuan red packet in the group.

Initially, only a dozen people had replied, but as soon as the red packet appeared, it instantly drew out all the lurkers watching quietly.

Everyone who received the red packet left a congratulatory message; at the very least, they sent a 'thank you, boss' emoticon.

"How much money do you have? Why are you sending such a big red packet?!"

At this moment, Liu Mei noticed Li Weijun sending a red packet in the group and angrily tapped his shoulder: "Your son bought you a car, and you really think you've struck it rich!"

The packet had been sent and couldn't be retrieved, so she snatched one for herself and immediately shouted to Li Jing: "Quick, quick, son, your dad sent a red packet in the big group, hurry and grab it."

Seeing that the packet wasn't fully claimed yet, Liu Mei quickly messaged a few close relatives, saying: "Li Weijun sent a red packet in the big group, there are still a few left, hurry up and grab!"

Watching her parents bustling about, Li Jing felt satisfied and comforted; for a moment, it seemed he was back at the New Year's scene of his childhood.

As soon as the red packet was claimed, Liu Mei's phone rang—it was a close relative from the group calling her.

"Sister Mei, your son really bought you an Audi?"

Liu Mei guessed immediately that they were calling about this. She couldn't suppress her smile, proud and completely changed her attitude from before Li Weijun: "Of course, Xiaojing took us to buy it this morning, the car is parked downstairs."

"Really? How much was it, where does Xiaojing work to make that much?"

"He's been working in Tianhai the whole time, not earning much, but managed to save enough for a car."

"It's not just a car, didn't he buy you a house too? Xiaojing is truly accomplished, Sister Mei, you and Brother Jun are really enjoying life!"

"Hehe, being over fifty, what is there to enjoy? Just hoping my son has a good life is enough. By the way, your son should be back too, right? Are you all in the county now?"

"We are, my son is not as accomplished as your Li Jing, always hanging around outside, not sure what he's achieved, but he knows to be filial, bought me clothes and jewelry."

"Really? That's great! Xiaojing also bought me clothes and jewelry, the jewelry brand is one I've never heard of called Cartier, and a watch, a Longines, apparently a luxury brand, quite pricey..."

Beside her, Li Weijun looked at Liu Mei's proud manner on the phone, smirked and quietly complained to Li Jing: "Look at your mom, she scolded me, but she's the one who loves showing off the most."

I suspect she'd love to grab a loudspeaker and announce all the gifts you gave us back in the hometown."

After finishing, Li Weijun noticed his phone was still vibrating and opened it in surprise: "Oh, the old president sent his congratulations, I should reply quickly."

"The old president?"

Li Jing was puzzled, craning his neck to look at the phone: "Fishing village club? Dad, you posted the car picture in your fishing group?"

"More than that, the poker group, our colleague group, even the neighborhood bulk-buying group, I sent it everywhere."

Hearing this, Li Jing's mouth twitched, totally speechless.

He realized his parents were spreading the news, one via the internet and the other on the phone, cooperating in division, determined to boast everywhere, not missing anyone.

Does my love for showing off come from genetic inheritance?

...

That afternoon, Li Jing went with Liu Mei to the city's only mall to buy new clothes.

Li Weijun, who was supposed to join, was entirely focused on his new car. Despite it being clean, he insisted on braving the cold wind with a bucket of water to meticulously wipe down the car.

In Liu Mei's words, Li Weijun never washed his face so cleanly in his life.

Buying clothes for his mother in the mall, Li Jing didn't care about the price and only picked expensive ones.

Compared to luxury brands that cost tens of thousands, the most expensive clothes here were only a few thousand yuan.

Everything Liu Mei fancied, Li Jing bought on the spot.

The shop owners were as excited as being injected with chicken blood, trying every way to drag Liu Mei into their stores.

Especially, no matter what Liu Mei tried on, the owner and staff were filled with praise, to the point Liu Mei was somewhat dizzy, her laughter never stopping.

Li Jing felt that the compliments his mother received in her lifetime were not as many as those she received in one afternoon.

However, it was also the first time Li Jing saw his mother so happy.

Compared to the high-cost enjoyment in Tianhai, in the familiar environment of the hometown, Liu Mei obviously felt happier and more at ease.

It made Li Jing completely abandon the idea of relocating his parents to settle in Tianhai.

For Li Weijun and Liu Mei, who have devoted half their lives to this small city, this is their most comfortable place to live.

Leaving the mall, Li Jing bought five sets of clothes for Liu Mei and three sets for Li Weijun.

This is because Liu Mei strongly controlled the purchasing, otherwise, as Li Jing originally planned, they would have bought more than ten sets.

Returning home from the mall, Li Jing found Li Weijun still gazing at the new car, seemingly possessed, not even interested in looking at the new clothes Liu Mei picked for him.

Liu Mei was too lazy to complain further, and along with Li Jing, carried the clothes upstairs: "Remember to remind your dad not to sleep in the car tonight."

Li Jing did not expect his father to be so obsessed with the car, helplessly shook his head.

Just as he returned home and helped organize the new clothes, his phone received a new message.

The sender was none other than Ge Qin, whom he hadn't seen in months.

"Li Jing, tonight there is a City No.1 Middle School alumni gathering, quite a few of your old classmates will be there, would you like to come?"
