After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 173: Chapter 127: Fang Huai’s Plan (Part 2)

Fang Huai turned to look at his uncle:

"Uncle, can you lend me ten thousand yuan?"

Zhang Zhongting knew Fang Huai was planning to buy clothes for the elderly couple and did not fuss about it. He took out his wallet, pulled out a card, and handed it to Fang Huai:

"The password is 523690. Use it sparingly, I’m not that rich!"

Fang Huai smirked internally.

I believe that... when pigs fly.

It’s your personal stash that’s not rich, right? Auntie, on the other hand, must be rolling in it!

523690... I love three sixes and nines?

Why are you so full of yourself? Just by looking at this bank card pin, catching you gambling is no injustice at all!

The elderly couple froze for a second, and at the moment Fang Huai took the card, they got flustered.

Before coming here, the couple had calculated everything precisely.

The round trip wouldn’t exceed two days, so as to not interfere with Zhang Mei’s job on Monday and Fang Kaiyang’s small restaurant opening. The diner survived on repeat customers, and if it closed for too long, the regulars would go elsewhere.

The small diner had to pay a rent of 1600 yuan a month and couldn’t afford delays.

They had accounted for everything but how much the trip would cost, an amount they hadn’t calculated. All they thought about was the hardship their son had endured and decided to buy him whatever he wanted.

If Fang Huai wanted to be filial, they would be happy. Fang Huai also didn’t have money, so once they picked the clothes, they would pay the bill themselves.

But ten thousand yuan just to buy them clothes was simply too extravagant.

"Fang Huai, you can’t take it!" Zhang Mei immediately reached out to stop him.

Fang Kaiyang was even quicker, stepping forward to try and snatch the card and stuff it back into Zhang Zhongting’s bag.

"We can’t take it, Old Two, we brought money ourselves!"

But this act, was a bit too presumptuous.

As he tried to put the card into Zhang Zhongting’s pocket, he realized his hand was empty.

Turning around, he saw Fang Huai smiling and holding up the card.

Are you kidding me? A max-level human like me let a muggle like you snatch something from me?

"What are you doing! Fang Huai! Give the card back to Uncle!" Fang Kaiyang’s usually confident hands fell short, leaving him somewhat frustrated and embarrassed.

He was completely unaware that among the three men, he was the one with the weakest skills.

Fang Huai had no intention of crushing his old man’s pride as a discharged soldier, so he just chuckled:

"Don’t worry! I’m going to return it! I have money, it’s going to hit Auntie’s account soon! Paying back this little amount, no problem!"

"Little money??"

...

Ten minutes later.

"... since it’s going to be credited at the end of the month, from now on, let Auntie transfer it directly to Dad’s account each month."

After Fang Huai explained everything, the three of them felt like they were listening to a fairytale.

Zhang Zhongting was the first to believe Fang Huai’s story as he put his hands on his hips and furrowed his brows:

"No wonder your Auntie said she signed a deal for an intermediary fee of five million, and in the first month made several hundred thousand?"

His sources were far wider than the average person. His wife, Yu Ming, even inquired about the ringtone industry because of this matter.

Ringtones becoming a key business for the telecom giant and how profitable it was, he had some idea, but he just didn’t expect Fang Huai to become a top composer.

Fang Huai nodded: "It’ll be higher in the future, at least three million a month, Uncle, it won’t affect you, right?"

Zhang Zhongting was shocked inwardly and speechless:

"What do you think? Several hundred thousand is already crazy, let alone millions? If the money is credited, I have to voluntarily submit a financial report to the whole corps’ disciplinary committee!

And if I then transfer it to you, they’d suspect I’m divesting assets!

Just to clarify the source and use of the funds will be enough for me to spend a week drinking tea at the whole corps headquarters!

With so much money, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Tomorrow, I’ll take your Auntie and brother-in-law to that company, change the contract, and have this month’s money transferred to your brother-in-law’s account!"

Fang Huai also felt a bit numb:

"I couldn’t at that time, and Auntie also understands this contract well. Plus, even when I told you about the big money, you didn’t take it seriously.

So... shall we hurry and do it?"

"Did I know it was this much?" Zhang Zhongting scratched his head: "Tomorrow, I’ll take them to handle it!"

"They won’t refuse, will they?" Fang Huai cautiously asked.

Only then did Zhang Zhongting smile confidently.

"They wouldn’t dare."

Fang Huai grimaced.

It’s those with power who speak with confidence.

The couple beside him were in a dream-like state, holding hands, something they seldom did in public, feeling the reality of each other’s warmth.

The conversation between the uncle and nephew was clear to them but also, in a sense, completely incomprehensible.

They didn’t even know where to begin their questions.

Numbers like several hundred thousand or a few million just wouldn’t feel real to the old couple unless the cash was laid out in front of them!

From the moment Fang Huai appeared, this trip had been too much like a dream.

In the expansive mall, Fang Huai led his parents around for over an hour. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Zhang Mei liked white clothes but never dared to buy them.

Every day after finishing work at the grain agency, she had to help out at the diner. Wearing white would just attract stains and be difficult to clean.

Fang Huai understood this and today, he bought her several sets, also buying his father a sharp suit.

He made them try on the clothes right in the shop, without letting them peek at the price tags. Once they found a good fit, Fang Huai would take the receipt to the counter to pay.

To his surprise, the couple didn’t object. freёwebnovel.com

Today, they might as well be living a dream.

Such a dream was something they’d been dreaming of ever since Fang Huai’s birth. Even if the ten thousand yuan spent today was a deep pit for them to fill, they would still feel it was worth it.

Their son had grown up.

After Fang Huai had picked out some clothes, but still not satisfied, he pointed to the men’s section and said: "Let’s go, buy some more comfortable clothes for the old man, in case you settle here and don’t even have clothes to change into."

Fang Kaiyang, Zhang Mei: "What the... Settle down?!"

...

A family restaurant average of two hundred per person.
