ressed in a suit, appearing mild-mannered and scholarly; the lady held onto Old Yue's arm with her hand on the other side, wearing a black outfit with her hair tied up and wearing frameless glasses, g...Chapter 445: The Entire Family Enters the Capital
In the car, Song Hushan looked at Xiao Yu and thought to himself. Xiao Yu truly embodies 'a gentleman loves wealth but obtains it through proper means.' Furthermore, Xiao Yu also views money very lightly. It was precisely because he knew this about Xiao Yu that he had never brought up anything related to money.
Regarding the matter of Xiao Yu donating two hundred million under Li's family's name in the past, Song Hushan told Old Grandpa Song after returning home. Upon hearing it, Old Grandpa Song burst out laughing and repeatedly praised it as a good deed. He felt relieved for his second elder brother who had cultivated such an excellent successor.
As Xiao Yu is their second elder brother's heir, although he hasn't officially joined that special unit yet, one day he will become a member of it, and he must shoulder his responsibilities too.
When shouldering those responsibilities, there must be firmness in his heart. Originally, Song Hushan thought that since Xiao Yu was born in the mountains, even though he had been groomed by his second elder brother, he couldn't help but carry some commoner's mentality. However, Xiao Yu turned out to be far better than what he imagined. It should be known that not all successors cultivated by people like them who are high up in power might have such a light-hearted nature as Xiao Yu.
Moreover, Xiao Yu is only in his twenties. Someone who has never seen large sums of money before could let go so easily of funds worth many times more than his own wealth and donate it without hesitation, not even under his own name.
Hearing about Xiao Yu's four qualities—disinterest in wealth, not seeking profit, not craving power, and not pursuing fame—Old Grandpa Song burst into laughter again.
It should be known that even those of them who were born into powerful families and grew up with a lot of authority and wealth might not have resisted the temptation of several times their worth in money. Furthermore, even these old men, given how much they need to take care of their large families behind them, wouldn't necessarily show such calmness when faced with assets many times greater than what they own—Xiao Yu never once glanced at those funds.
Old Grandpa Song picked up the phone and called over the other old men like Li's Old Man. When these elders heard Old Grandpa Song’s narration, they all burst out laughing and endlessly praised Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, what are your plans for the fund What should we name it I am currently in the midst of organizing it; people selected from my company have no background at all." In the car, Song Hushan told Xiao Yu.
He had many people in his company, and there were a lot of talents across various fields. So after returning home and telling Old Grandpa Song about this matter, the old man urged him to fully support it.
Xiao Yu also considered what Song Hushan said about the fund that morning. This could be a solution because he was not entirely comfortable with the current rescue systems.
After all, there were many unsavory aspects within these systems that Xiao Yu had no control over, and since nobody had committed any crimes against him, he couldn't simply go investigating anyone.
Therefore, when he heard what Song Hushan said, an idea struck him. "That's right! Instead of donating to other funds, why don't we establish one ourselves This way, we can help more people in need. Plus, at least I can ensure that the money is used for its intended purpose and benefits as many people as possible."
"Well... Uncle Song, I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff. You take care of it!" Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile after hearing what Song Hushan had to say.
Xiao Yu knew more about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but when it came to commercial matters like setting up a fund, he was clueless. Besides, there was no need for him to worry about being taken advantage of by Song Hushan, so the best course of action would be to let Song Hushan handle everything, which would also minimize unnecessary trouble.
"What name should we give it" asked Song Hushan when he heard Xiao Yu's suggestion. When he first mentioned this idea to his grandfather, the elder had similar thoughts; initially, they needed someone like Song Hushan to oversee things because in their view, a person as young as Xiao Yu who possessed such exceptional medical skills would surely be preoccupied with other matters and wouldn’t have enough time to manage them. Therefore, Grandpa Song instructed Song Hushan to do everything he could for Xiao Yu, considering that this was not about profit.
"Let's call it the Wan Sheng Tang Fund," said Xiao Yu after some thought.
Upon hearing this, Song Hushan nodded without hesitation. The name didn’t really matter anyway, and since it was a family legacy spanning hundreds of years, there were no objections to its use.
Xiao Yu looked at the extra 80 million in his bank account. Although he wasn't overly concerned with money, he felt quite pleased about having this sum because he badly needed funds for the moment. Moreover, it would ensure a good life for his family and was obtained through legitimate means.
Xiao Jianying and Xiao Yulai arrived very quickly; by afternoon they had called Xiao Yu to pick them up at the station.
Driving Song Hushan's car left behind for him, Xiao Yu headed towards the train station. However, as the fund was newly established that afternoon and even though professional managers were overseeing it, there were still some places where Song Hushan needed to personally supervise things himself.
After picking up his mother and sister at the station, Xiao Yu drove towards the quadrangle courtyard.
"Mom, you and my sister can live in the quadrangle courtyard from now on! The conditions here are better, and if Hanghang is in Beijing, everything including education will be much better!"
In the car, Xiao Yu said to Xiao Jianying.
The conditions in Beijing are indeed better than those in Tong City. He also hopes that his mother and sister can live better, which is why he accepted this quadrangle courtyard without hesitation.
"This... " Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Jianying hesitated. She naturally loved Beijing where she had lived for several years, but after spending more than twenty years in Tong City, she also considered it home. She was reluctant to leave all her familiar neighbors behind.
"Mom, we're not saying you can't go back to Tong City's house! We'll still visit from time to time! Besides making your lives better here, the main reason is for Hanghang. Think about how good it would be if he grew up in an environment where both living conditions and education are much better than those in Tong City!"
Seeing his mother's hesitation, Xiao Yu continued persuading her. In fact, Tong City wasn't their hometown; more than twenty years ago, after Xiao Jianying returned from Beijing, her maternal grandfather took them to live there. Moreover, people in Tong City had very strong local sentiments. Even though the Xiao family had lived there for over two decades and provided medical assistance and aid, when talking about the Xiao family, they were still referred to as "that family from elsewhere." Therefore, Xiao Yu didn't have much attachment to Tong City.
Xiao Jianying glanced at her daughter, then looked down at the sleeping little grandson in her arms. After a moment's thought, she nodded in agreement.
She had lived in Tong City for over twenty years and naturally felt reluctant to leave. However, it was only two hours' drive from here to Tong City, and the most important thing was that her grandson could receive quality education.
Even though their child's future living conditions wouldn't be a problem, according to traditional Chinese values, people still hope that their children can receive good education so they'll have a better life even if they rely solely on themselves in the future.
In addition, nowadays, who isn’t living for their children So despite her reluctance to leave Tong City's home behind, Xiao Jianying agreed to move here for the sake of her grandson.
When Xiao Yu brought them to the quadrangle courtyard, although they knew that his maternal grandfather had left a quadrangle courtyard and were present when he received the key, they were still amazed by its scale.
Xiao Jianying visited many places in Beijing over those years, including numerous quadrangle courtyards; however, few could match this one's level of refinement. Those that did weren't accessible to just anyone back then.
Xiao Yu arranged for his mother and others to stay at a nearby quadrangle courtyard hotel so it would be convenient to visit the actual quadrangle courtyard once it was ready.
Five days later, Deep Sea Airport.
Xiao Yu stepped off the plane. As soon as he left the aircraft, a warm current enveloped him. Having spent several days in Beijing's cold weather, he found himself somewhat unaccustomed to returning to Deep Sea's climate. He quickly walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi towards the direction of Deep Sea city.
Over these few days while Xiao Yu was in Beijing, he had almost settled all matters and the renovation work for the quadrangle courtyard was nearing completion; although it primarily entailed refurbishment, installing necessary appliances would suffice to call it done. These past couple of days, Song Shanshan found a car and accompanied by spouses of those from Beijing, they took Xiao Jianying and Xiao Yu's wife shopping and buying things for children, so the household items were almost complete.
Two nights ago, when Xiao Yu was meditating in the quadrangle courtyard, he suddenly sensed several strands of internal energy fluctuations approaching. When he felt these fluctuations and quickly dashed out from the house to pursue them, they vanished instantly, yet their familiarity lingered within him.
Xiao Yu returned indoors, crossed his legs into a seated position, and pondered for a moment before understanding where these fluctuations originated.
Meanwhile, in Beihai Park not far from Xiao Yu's quadrangle courtyard, several elderly individuals were holding three men dressed in black. They brought these people to a secluded spot within the park and released them.
"Who are you" These elders encircled the black-clothed figures and asked softly.
Though their voices remained calm, the black-clothed individuals suddenly felt an even chillier atmosphere around them in the winter night, shivering involuntarily. slightly, with blood trickling down from it.Just when the cat reached close to him, Xiao Yu suddenly exuded a powerful killing intent which, combined with the malevolent aura on his dagger, made the...
