I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 293: Master of Showing Off

"Yaqin, I think your Qin Fengyu still has a lot of striving ahead."

Zhao Jingjing said with a smile next to Liu Yaqin.

Liu Yaqin smiled, "Feng Yu being good to me is all that matters. Look, this is something Feng Yu gave me."

She took out a small golden violin and smiled.

"Wow, is this small golden violin made of pure gold?" Zhou Yun exclaimed.

"Dummy, do you have any idea how much that would cost if it were pure gold?"

Zhao Jingjing glanced at Zhou Yun.

"But even if just the surface is gold, it must have cost a lot! It looks like Qin Fengyu is really good to you."

Zhao Jingjing laughed and said, "But I think, right now Qin Fengyu is still a junior in college, spending his parents’ money instead of earning his own."

"Qin Fengyu’s family situation is quite average, isn’t it? Spending so much on this without considering the family’s circumstances seems a bit inconsiderate."

"Jingjing!"

Zhou Yun, who was beside Zhao Jingjing, couldn’t help but tug at her, wondering what was up with Zhao Jingjing today that made her keep speaking ill of Qin Fengyu.

"Haha, having a good family is one thing, but I think it’s most important for a person to rely on themselves."

At this moment, Lin Hao walked over with a smile and said.

"When I was in college, my parents would send me twenty thousand yuan every month, but I never used it because once we enter college, we’re adults, and using our parents’ money feels a bit shameful. Self-reliance is what’s most important." Lin Hao said with a grin.

He glanced at Zhao Jingjing.

Actually, Zhao Jingjing did take some favors from him.

He liked Liu Yaqin, but he didn’t compete with Qin Fengyu successfully. For him, this was obviously a frustrating matter, and with Qin Fengyu and Liu Yaqin visiting Jinling for a trip, it was a good chance for him to show off.

With that, Zhao Jingjing timely remarked, "No wonder, Lin Hao, the stuff you used isn’t luxurious, even the things you gave to pursue Liu Yaqin weren’t expensive either. That makes sense now."

This rather ’Versailles’ statement made Zhou Yun beside Zhao Jingjing feel that Lin Hao has high social awareness and introspectively thought that Qin Fengyu, giving such expensive gifts while in college, was showing off.

Ignoring Zhou Yun, Lin Hao glanced at Liu Yaqin, but unfortunately, her expression barely changed.

Just then, she glanced into the distance and suddenly smiled.

"Feng Yu."

From a distance, Qin Fengyu, having finished his call, walked over.

"What’s the conversation about?"

Glancing at Lin Hao, Qin Fengyu seemed to be in a good mood and asked softly.

Straight away, Zhao Jingjing with a playful grin said, "Qin Fengyu, we’re discussing whether college students should spend their parent’s money. Lin Hao’s family is quite wealthy but he chooses to earn his own money through part-time jobs."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fengyu looked somewhat surprised at Lin Hao and said, "So Lin Hao, what are you doing right now? Working at your family’s store?"

Is he kidding?

Saying not to spend his parents’ money, yet directly working as a manager in his own store?

Lin Hao chuckled and said, "Qin Fengyu, working at the family store, I achieved it through my own efforts. Every winter and summer break, I started from being a waiter to where I am now because I’m slightly more capable."

Listening to this, Qin Fengyu could barely hold back his bad temper. He paused and asked, "So in the future, you plan not to rely on your family and to be self-sufficient?"

"Indeed."

Lin Hao nodded, "Whatever my parents achieved, I certainly can too."

"Oh." Qin Fengyu nodded, curiously asking, "May I ask, Lin Hao, how much do you earn now?"

Lin Hao replied, "I’m currently an intern manager, and the salary is about eight thousand yuan."

This inn is about a few hundred square feet, with not many employees, roughly twenty, the scale wasn’t particularly large, and the salary wasn’t too high to begin with.

Nodding, Qin Fengyu said, "So Lin Hao, you intend to stay in Jinling?"

"Jinling is a new tier-one city with plenty of development opportunities. Naturally, I’ll stay here."

"You’re planning to buy a house and a car with your own money?"

"Yes."

"Then Lin Hao, your future financial pressure will be great!" Qin Fengyu remarked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Hao asked, puzzled.

With a smile, Qin Fengyu analyzed, "Lin Hao, as a Jinling native, you should be pretty aware of Jinling’s house prices. Currently, for a slightly better location, it’s at least twenty thousand yuan per square meter. According to the latest statistics, the average new house transaction price in Jinling has reached thirty-two thousand yuan per square meter. If you intend to buy a 100-square-meter house, you’ll need more than three million yuan. A 30% down payment is nearly a million!"

"With your current monthly salary, even if you don’t spend it at all for a year, you’d barely make a hundred thousand, and it would take ten years!"

"Of course, your salary might increase during this time but it would certainly take several years at least!"

"Additionally, I haven’t even factored in your living expenses; you need to eat and drink, surely, and you need to rent a house, right? Calculating these, several thousand yuan a month is essential. So ten years is certainly an understatement!"

"And that’s just for the down payment! Once paid, there still remains a two-million-yuan loan! Besides, you still need to buy a car!"

Qin Fengyu remarked, "Lin Hao, I’d say if you want to rely on yourself to buy a house and a car in Jinling, you might genuinely achieve that by your fifties or sixties!"

"Honestly, I really admire you!"

After he finished, the smile on Lin Hao’s face faded quite a bit.

Previously wanting to brag, he hadn’t calculated how much it would actually cost to buy a car or a house in Jinling, knowing well enough that these things were already prepared by his parents.

His family, apart from owning three inns, also had two houses. Currently, his parents live in one and the other is reserved as his marital home.

Lin Hao knew this; what he mentioned earlier was just purely bragging.

The scene was mildly awkward, and at this moment, Zhao Jingjing spoke again, "Qin Fengyu, what kind of talk is that? Does Lin Hao having his own goals, dreams, and pursuits make him wrong? At least he’s working hard now and has become the manager of a restaurant, earning eight thousand yuan, which is much better than many of us."

In her heart, she despised Qin Fengyu a bit, thinking how ordinary his situation was, yet he’s lecturing Lin Hao.

After she spoke, Lin Hao immediately smiled, "Taking it slow, I’m not expecting to reach the top overnight. I’m still young, with plenty of opportunities ahead."

He cleverly dispelled the awkwardness.

Hearing this, Qin Fengyu smirked.

"Alright, I’ve already arranged things. There’s no need for me to take care of matters at the store for now. I’m very familiar with Jinling, just the right time to show you around." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"No need..."

Before he finished, Liu Yaqin wanted to say something.

But Qin Fengyu stopped her at this point, wearing a smiling expression, he said, "Lin Hao, I heard there’s a lot of fun stuff on Xianyan Street. Do you know about it?"
