I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 18

Fang Zhongtian solemnly took out an iron box.

“Looking back on these tumultuous years, we have experienced so many ups and downs and experienced various hardships. Your mother and I have gone from being penniless to having one hundred thousand, one million… one hundred million; all of it is hidden in this iron box.”

“Wait,” Fang Qimai interrupted, “I’ve heard this story before. Isn’t it just full of IOUs inside?”

It turns out that these people are swindlers. Damn, wealthy father.

“Yes, it’s all IOUs!”

What a bunch of scammers!

“But back in the day, your grandparents started a gem betting business in Myanmar. They had a knack for it, and in the end they turned things around, not only helping us pay off our debts, but also lending us some start-up capital, which led to who we are today.”

“We’ve kept copies of these promissory notes to remind ourselves that even if we have money, we must not forget our roots!”

Hearing this, Fang Qimai thought that even though these two seemed unreliable, they still had some principles and beliefs.

Unexpectedly, Li Haomei pulled out a black and gold card.

“Son, this is my custom-made Fang International black gold card. No limit, feel free to use it.”

Fang Qimai: ???

Didn’t you just talk about not forgetting your roots?

Fang Zhongtian added, “You’ll be taking your college entrance exams soon, so we won’t let you change schools. Just study well here!

I’ve already understood the situation; the outer walls of your school are a bit old, and I’m planning to build some new classrooms for you.

The playground also looks a bit outdated, so I’m thinking of buying the land next to your school to build a stadium.

I’ve also looked at your canteen, and since the environment is not good, I’ll have it rebuilt according to Michelin standards.

Fang Qimai: …

I only have three months left at this school; by the time the stadium is finished, I’ll have graduated!

Li Haomei waved his hand and Bai Lishou stepped forward with a bag.

“Young Master, for your convenience, I have already purchased the villa complex closest to your school. The title deed is in your name, and here are the access cards, a total of eighteen sets.”

What the hell…

Fang Qimai was stunned.

This is truly ridiculously extravagant!

Then Bai Lishou continued, “As for the special cars for picking you up and taking you to school, including the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Lamborghini Veneno, Ferrari LaFerrari, Maserati Ghibli, and twenty-four other luxury sedans and supercars, they are all ready for you to choose according to your preferences.

“What… even these cars…” Fang Qimai looked at the Silver Ghost in disbelief. “Yes,” Bai Lishou nodded, “All ten of these cars are now in your name, and there are eighteen more. Your father was afraid it would be too conspicuous, so they were parked in the villa and not taken out.”

What the hell… is that not conspicuous enough?

Bai Lishou continued, “Since you don’t know how to drive yet, we’ve arranged dedicated drivers for each of your vehicles. There are 28 drivers in total. By the way, each driver has martial arts training and can ensure your safety, Young Master.

…

This system is really something. It really helped me find my wealthy birth parents!

A series of changes left Fang Qimai in shock.

“Son, are you satisfied with what we’ve done for you?”

“Yes, son, we owe you a lot over the years, so let us make it up to you properly.”

“You can use this money without worrying; it all comes from the legitimate business your mother and I have built up through hard work.”

…

“Dad, Mum…”

“Wow, honey, did you hear that? Our son called us! I’m so happy!”

The couple rejoiced, and Bai Lishou was also very happy for them.

Fang Qimai continued, “Now that it’s been confirmed that you are my biological parents, it’s only right that I call you Dad and Mom, but I need some time to accept these facts.

“Mm-hmm, we understand.”

“By the way, Dad… at what age did you start to go bald? I need to prepare myself mentally.”

Fang Zhongtian thought for a moment, “I think I went bald before I turned thirty…”

Oh no…

Fang Qimai touched his hair and felt a shiver run down his spine.

Li Haomei said, “By the way, son, let’s talk about inheriting the family estate.

Inheriting the family estate?

Fang Qimai was speechless; they were already discussing inheritance.

As expected, whether one succeeds or not depends on the virtues accumulated by one’s ancestors…

Being born into a good family really matters.

“Since you disappeared, your mother and I haven’t had any more children. We’ve agreed that when you graduate from university, all the family fortune will go to you alone”.

“Yes, mainly because we have so much to do every day. We travel all over the world, flying here and there, with endless meetings. We’re exhausted.” “Just throw it to you and we can relax, do whatever we want, haha!”

“Above all, we are no longer interested in money.”

Fang Qimai thought: …

What the hell, not interested in money…

After thinking for a moment, Fang Qimai replied, “Dad, Mum, I refuse.”

“What?!”

“You don’t want to inherit the family fortune?”

Fang Qimai said, “I want to rely on my own efforts!”

As he spoke, he pushed the black and gold card back to his mother, Li Haomei.

…

Originally, Fang Qimai just wanted to be a corporate drone and earn a bit of money.

He wanted to marry a woman he could talk to and then have two children, a boy and a girl would be fine.

Once the two children had families of their own, he would retire.

He planned to live a leisurely, reclusive life, playing games and having fun until he couldn’t play any more.

Now, with the system, he was no longer an ordinary person.

But Fang Qimai was still inclined to be a relaxed individual.

Unfortunately, he was so exceptional and outstanding, a talent in every way.

If he just happened to inherit a fortune worth billions, it would be too easy without any challenge.

Besides, the system would give him endless excitement and infinite possibilities.

Compared to inheriting the family fortune, Fang Qimai wanted to earn the recognition of others through his own efforts.

…

Fang Zhongtian and Li Haomei exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other.

“My son! You want to become the richest person in the world all by yourself!”

Fang Qimai: “I didn’t say that…”

Fang Zhongtian thought for a moment and said, “All right, son, I’ll invest one hundred million as your starting capital.”

“No, a hundred million isn’t enough! Make it a billion! I’ll have someone transfer one billion to your account right away,” Li Haomei said.

“Son, we respect your decision. Spend this one billion as you wish, but when you are finished, hurry back home to inherit the family fortune.

“A little social hardship is also necessary. Son, no matter what happens, we will always be your strongest support!”

As she spoke, Li Haomei pushed the black-gold card back to Fang Qimai.

Fang Zhongtian added seriously, “What your mother means is that you must face the harsh realities of society. If you can’t, just come back home and inherit the family fortune.

Fang Qimai: …
