Chapter 338: Chapter 337: Chip (Second Update)

Father Wang and Mother Wang felt particularly energized today, as if they had suddenly become ten years younger, cheerfully wandering around and seemingly finding their youthful spirit again.

They were unaware that this was due to the Power of Creation injected by Wang Xuan, enhancing their vitality more and more and naturally leading to breakthroughs in their Cultivation Level.

"Who is he?" Upon seeing Wang Ruo’s boyfriend, Father Wang felt that moving things around was pointless, while Mother Wang was rather enthusiastic.

The cabbage they raised was finally taken by someone else after ten years, and naturally, as a father, he wasn’t happy about it.

"Ruo darling, who is this young man?" Mother Wang asked.

The young man quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Auntie, you look so young, like you could be Ruo’s sister.

I’m her boyfriend, Kong Yu. I’ve always wanted to meet you two, but Ruo has been putting it off until now, when I finally get the chance."

He had a very pleasing manner of speaking, especially when complimenting Mother Wang on her youth, which made her happy, as women in their forties are most concerned about the passage of time.

"Exactly, Mom looks like she’s not even thirty. What skincare products are you using? Tell me about them." Wang Ruo was genuinely envious, she really meant it.

"Whatever skincare product is the most expensive, that’s her secret to skincare, got it?" Father Wang interjected.

He couldn’t see the appeal in Kong Yu no matter how he looked at him, whereas Mother Wang, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, was increasingly pleased. Wang Xuan knew that today might become a scene of flashing blades, so he stayed upstairs with Lin Cheng flipping through old diaries, not wanting to get involved.

Unfortunately, as a family member, he couldn’t avoid such an important matter.

"Let’s eat first, then we’ll talk." Mother Wang decided, and Wang Ruo knew her mother doted on her, immediately giving her mom a fierce kiss on the cheek.

The family sat at the table for dinner, all six seated neatly. Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng communicated through Divine Thought, with no audible noise.

Wang Ruo served food to Kong Yu, Mother Wang served food to Kong Yu, Wang Xuan served Lin Cheng, yet nobody served Father Wang.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Kong Yu quickly served a dish to Father Wang, but Father Wang, fuming, chose not to eat, angrily retreating to his room to munch on grilled fish.

"Kong Yu, that’s a nice name."

Wang Xuan didn’t eat much, wiped his hands with silk napkins, and spoke with Kong Yu, knowing that his words carried the most weight in the household.

"How long have you known Wang Ruo?" Wang Xuan asked.

His sister had good looks that stood out from the crowd, though she paled compared to Lin Cheng.

Somehow, Kong Yu sat up straight, feeling a touch of respect for Wang Xuan, despite clearly being his younger brother-in-law and younger in age.

"It’s been two years, but we only confirmed our relationship at the beginning of the year," Kong Yu replied.

"Oh." Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "Wang Ruo can be a bit lazy and stubborn, you’ll need to be more accommodating."

He could see what this young man was like with a glance; he was indeed a business elite, with good personal qualities and family background.

Two years ago, Wang Ruo was somewhat of a stretch for him, but everything became different because of Wang Xuan.

"Wang Xuan, how can you talk like that?" Wang Ruo wasn’t happy.

In her boyfriend’s eyes, she was a little princess, with none of those nonexistent flaws.

No way!

Lin Cheng snickered on the side, knowing Wang Xuan didn’t actually have any opinions on the matter; as long as Wang Ruo approved and the family found his character acceptable, it was fine.

Soon after, Father Wang, who had finished eating, returned and helped tidy up the dishes, and the family settled in the living room to chat.

Father Wang chatted with Kong Yu, feeling somewhat disdainful of him; with a son like Wang Xuan, he believed his daughter should find someone better.

"What’s wrong with Kong Yu? He’s perfectly fine in every way! Wang Xuan’s wealth is his own affair; my future is with Kong Yu, not Wang Xuan." Wang Ruo knew her worth and was satisfied to hold onto a man like Kong Yu, feeling she couldn’t match up to anyone better.

Friends and relatives all knew Wang Xuan had struck it big, becoming the disciple of an Immortal, though they didn’t truly know how powerful he was, as both Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal were beings to be revered in their eyes.

Wang Ruo knew Wang Xuan had wealth, with assets at least in the tens of billions, so the family suddenly found themselves in a prosperous situation, and whatever they wanted, Wang Xuan would mostly agree to.

"You’re just a country bumpkin yourself, but Kong Yu graduated from Wudaokou Academy, reached the Refining Organs Realm at thirty, and works in a world top twenty intelligent chip group. He’s superb in every way, how great is that?" Wang Ruo grew angry, if the family didn’t approve, she might just elope with him.

Wudaokou Academy had national prestige in Divine Land, and its graduates had no trouble finding work, practically all becoming social elites.

Unfortunately, Wang Ruo inherited her father’s bad temper, as Father Wang retorted, "You look down on your dad for being a country bumpkin? You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me!"

The two seemed on the verge of an argument, with Mother Wang and Lin Cheng quickly rushing to intervene, knowing there wasn’t much to argue about, and that some things take only a few days to accept.

"Works in an intelligent chip group? Not bad." Wang Xuan nodded.

It’s one of the world’s top twenty tech giants, towering above the chip industry, and holding a significant place in the internet industry, with annual profits calculated in the trillions of Star Yuan.

"However, Wang Ruo, remember your dad is a major shareholder at your company, so speaking like that to your boss isn’t very polite."

In reality, Wang Ruo’s company was fully funded by Wang Xuan, with Wang Ruo made general manager through his support; she might feel her wings were strong, but they weren’t quite strong enough.

Wang Ruo’s face fell, she was satisfied with her boyfriend, yet returning home felt like this?

Blaming Wang Xuan, what’s he doing being so rich.

The family meeting concluded, Wang Ruo approved her boyfriend while the rest could only scrutinize, finding nothing worth objecting.

Wang Xuan commented, "Ruo, you have real self-awareness, it’s rare for people to recognize themselves; Kong Yu is your perfect match."

Wang Ruo’s potential wealth span wasn’t much beyond a billion, so a man compatible would be around Kong Yu’s level.

Looking to marry into a wealthy family would end disastrously, with no happiness at all.

During the late Warring States period, the Qin Kingdom’s first invasion of Chu was led by the young general Li Xin, whose lack of experience led to a great defeat of the twenty-thousand-strong army.

"We’re planning to get married in a few years!" Wang Ruo boasted.

"Great, marriage is wonderful." Mother Wang said with a smile.

Wang Xuan nodded, "When you plan the wedding, however much assets you have, I’ll gift you a villa of equivalent value as the wedding gift."

Wang Ruo protested, "You bought Dad a spaceship worth tens of billions, yet you’re giving us a villa worth just a few billion? You’re so stingy."

"Isn’t that what you said? What’s mine is mine," Wang Xuan retorted, frustrating Wang Ruo jumping up, she was just speaking casually.

If the family wanted to enjoy life, he was more than happy to fund it, and if they wished to be ambitious, he could give them a push.

However, dreaming to start a mega-corporation worth hundreds of billions was pure fantasy, Wang Xuan knew his family’s capabilities crystal clear.

As for their future development, that’s for later.

"Uncle and Auntie’s family assets can’t be matched by me, but I guarantee never to make her suffer, I’ll give her the best within my ability," Kong Yu patted his chest and declared.

Upon hearing this, Father Wang’s expression eased a bit.

"I’ve often heard A Ruo praising her brother, but meeting him now truly shows his extraordinary character, to achieve such a large business, it surely wasn’t easy.

What industry do you manage? I imagine it’s incredibly busy; nowadays competition is fierce and the market rapidly changes, nothing is easy." Kong Yu said.

Wang Xuan said indifferently, "I don’t go to work, business is handled by my subordinates, I only step into the group for a day or two each year.

My main focus is cultivation."

No work...

Hearing this, Kong Yu was left speechless, comparing people just doesn’t work.

Lin Cheng chuckled, "We own a small enterprise in the pharmaceutical industry, unranked on Mother Star, we haven’t even made ten trillion this year."

Ten trillion...

Kong Yu felt they were insufferable show-offs; the key was their casual tone.

Pharmaceutical industry doesn’t have small enterprises, since when are ten trillion profits considered small? I’d be overjoyed for even a billion!

He felt at a loss for conversation, opting to discuss high-end topics, stating, "At the intelligent chip group, I’m a department head within a subsidiary, mostly involved in the tech field.

Recently, the intelligent chip group announced a soon public release of body chips linked with the brain, a revolutionary breakthrough.

In fact, this technology is already deployed in group employees, we are well aware of how powerful it is."

With that, Kong Yu pointed to his head to indicate the insertion of this revolutionary piece within his brain.

(Today’s ten thousand words update, definitely no breaks, or I’m a puppy!)
