I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Boss! Look! Look at the results! Are you satisfied?!"

The foreman's chubby face, plastered with a fawning smile, was practically inside the phone camera.

He held his phone and moved slowly through the newly renovated main room of the Jiang family home.

In the video footage, the originally uneven cement floor has now been replaced by smooth, mirror-like marble.

The mottled and peeling walls were painted snow-white and smooth, radiating a soft glow under the light of the brand-new crystal chandelier.

The 98-inch Sony TV, which took up almost half of the wall, was embedded in the simple and elegant TV background wall.

The soft, large genuine leather sofa, clearly worth a fortune, sits quietly in the center of the living room, exuding an alluring "smell of money".

Jiang Chen leaned back in the driver's seat of the Audi A6-L, quietly "virtually inspecting" his masterpiece via video.

"Dad, Mom, what do you think?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

The camera then pans to Jiang Jianjun and Wang Xiuying.

The elderly couple sat upright on the brand-new leather sofa, their bodies taut and unsure of where to put their hands. Their cautious demeanor made it seem as if they were sitting on a dragon throne, not a sofa.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Wang Xiuying's eyes welled up with tears as she watched her son in the video.

"It's just...it's so wonderful, so wonderful that your dad and I haven't been able to sleep these past few nights. It feels like a dream!"

"Chenchen, how much did this cost?"

Jiang Jianjun, standing beside him, added in a muffled voice. Although it was a question, every wrinkle on his dark face was filled with undisguised pride and satisfaction.

These past few days, he and his wife haven't had to do any work; they just sit in the yard watching the workers come and go.

Watching their home transform from a dilapidated farmhouse into a "luxurious palace" that even city dwellers had never seen before, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That feeling was even more awe-inspiring and a source of greater pride than when he built this house in his youth!

"Not much money."

Jiang Chen's reply was still delivered in that nonchalant tone.

"As long as you're comfortable, that's what matters most."

He then turned to the foreman on the other end of the video and said, "The work is well done, I'm very satisfied."

"Now, send me your payment QR code."

"Then, call all the workers present today into the yard."

Upon hearing this, the foreman's smile instantly brightened like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly shoved his payment QR code in front of the camera.

"Okay, boss! Don't worry! I'll call someone right away!"

A few minutes later.

More than twenty workers dressed in blue overalls stood in a neat row in the Jiang family's courtyard.

Their faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation, wondering what instructions this mysterious "Boss Jiang," whose voice they could only hear but never see, had in store.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Chen opened his mobile banking app and found the foreman's account.

According to the previously agreed price, the renovation fee, rush fee, material fee, plus the installation fee for various home appliances and furniture such as sofas and TVs that were added later.

Total: 120,000.

Jiang Chen didn't even blink before entering the amount and clicking "transfer".

"Ding!"

The foreman's cell phone rang with a crisp notification sound of payment arriving.

He frantically pulled out his phone, and when he saw the long string of zeros in the text message, his hands started to tremble.

"Boss... boss... this... this money..."

"It's good that I received it."

Jiang-Chen's voice echoed clearly in the courtyard through the phone's speaker.

"This is the wages you deserve."

"In addition, as I said before, as long as you complete the work on time and with high quality, every worker who is present will receive a red envelope."

Jiang Chen paused, then his voice suddenly rose.

"Now, have all the workers open their WeChat payment QR codes!"

"Line up, one by one, and hold your phone up to the camera!"

In the courtyard, all the workers were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.

Are they really giving out red envelopes?

Or is it 1,000 per person?

This boss is too arrogant!

"Quick! What the hell are you all standing there for! Didn't you hear what the boss said?!"

The foreman was the first to react, his face flushed with excitement, and he roared at his workers.

"Hurry up! Line up! Anyone who dares to cut in line, I'll kill him!"

The workers suddenly realized what was happening and instantly erupted in excitement!

They frantically pulled out their phones, opened their payment QR codes, and lined up in an unprecedentedly orderly and efficient manner, forming a long queue.

The first worker was a young man who looked very young. He nervously and excitedly pointed his QR code at the camera.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Scan the QR code.

Enter the amount: 1000.

Paid.

"WeChat payment received, 1000 yuan!"

A crisp notification sound rang out.

The young worker's face instantly turned bright red. He bowed ninety degrees to the camera and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Thank you, boss! You're so generous! May you have a prosperous New Year, boss!"

One.

two.

Three.

……

"WeChat payment received, 1000 yuan!"

"WeChat payment received, 1000 yuan!"

"WeChat payment received, 1000 yuan!"

The crisp, pleasant sound of payment notifications, like the most festive firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, rose and fell continuously in the Jiang family courtyard.

Each worker who received the money faced the camera and expressed their gratitude and blessings in the most simple and sincere way.

Villagers who had heard the news rushed to see what was going on, and the area in front of the Jiang family's house was completely blocked.

As they listened to the notifications of "one thousand yuan" arriving in the courtyard, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and their mouths were agape enough to fit a duck egg.

"My God... cash red envelopes... 1,000 yuan per person... that's over 20,000 yuan for more than 20 people!"

"Just like that... it's officially announced?"

"This Jiang family kid... he really doesn't care about money! It's terrifying!"

In a corner of the crowd, Aunt Liu Cuifen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and looking at the group of cheering workers in the yard, she felt her heart was bleeding.

That's all money!

That's a lot of pure, unadulterated money!

They just scattered it like paper?!

She couldn't understand it! She couldn't accept it!

Inside the Audi, Jiang Chen listened to the cheers coming from the other end of the phone and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

That 120,000 yuan was well spent!

Not only did it allow my parents to move into a new house, but more importantly, it made everyone in the village realize a profound truth once again.

Jiang Chen is not short of money!

Just as he was about to hang up the video call.

【Ding! 】

The system notification sound, as melodious as heavenly music and imposing with supreme authority, suddenly descended!

[Ding! Detected that the host has generated a large-scale concentrated expenditure in order to improve the core living environment of the family and enhance the overall quality of life and social reputation of the family!]

Is there such a saying?

The system really understands human relationships!

[Overall assessment... Triggered a 5x bonus!]

Five times!

Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the previous dozens of times, for an investment of 120,000 in "infrastructure", this multiple completely exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations!

He was already very satisfied!

[Rebate amount calculation in progress...]

[120,000 yuan x 5 = 600,000 yuan!]

"Buzzing—buzzing—"

The phone in my pocket started vibrating wildly again, that familiar, intoxicating sound!

Jiang Chen opened the bank's app and refreshed his balance.

The remaining 3.7 million plus the 600,000 that just arrived...

Account Balance: RMB 4,374,130.80

Four million three hundred and seventy thousand!

Looking at the numbers that had surged again, Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He glanced at the calendar on his phone.

The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There are only ten days left until Chinese New Year's Eve.

The hardware in the house has been completely upgraded.

Now, it's his turn to be the main character and make his official entrance.
