Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Come on, son, have a couple of drinks with your dad. Teacher Liu, please feel free to do as you please."

At this moment, in the hall of the Meng family, Meng Jianguo, though still with his hair tied up, was happier than during the New Year.

She has been arguing with her younger brother, Meng Jianjun, for so many years.

Meng Jianguo had never felt so triumphant as he did today.

Because Meng Jianjun's family has always been better off financially than his.

Most importantly, Meng Jianjun had two sons, both of whom were tall and strong.

He was hit on the head by Meng Jianjun's second son, Meng Erbao.

In contrast, Meng Jianguo was honest and simple, only knowing how to farm.

She married late and had only one son, Meng Chuan.

Moreover, his son has always had a rather introverted personality.

To put it bluntly, it's being aloof.

Therefore, Meng Jianguo would tolerate Meng Jianjun's family as much as possible, and if he couldn't tolerate it, he would swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

She never dared to complain even a single word in front of Meng Chuan.

I'm afraid that my only child will become even more self-conscious and withdrawn.

However, he didn't know how Meng Chuan had done it.

But he knew his son was very strong.

He is more successful than Meng Jianjun's son.

The thought of Meng Jianjun kowtowing and begging for mercy to him just now made him feel uneasy.

Although Meng Jianguo felt a little reluctant, he truly felt relieved.

And the villagers and elders all looked at him differently now, filled with awe.

The old village chief, in particular, who relied on his age and seniority, was as pale as a sheet.

No village elders dared to stand up and persuade him to give up his ancestral land anymore.

Of course, what made Meng Jianguo most proud was Meng Chuan's last sentence:

Dad, you are the head of the family, and everything is up to you.

Meng Jianguo is not good with words.

But the fact that his son could say those words was more precious to Meng Jianguo than gold.

After seeing everyone off, Meng Jianguo felt a little lighter on his feet.

He immediately ordered Zhang Mei to kill a chicken, as he wanted to have a good drink with his son today.

"Dad, your injury hasn't healed yet, drink less."

Meng Chuan picked up his wine glass, looking at Liu Qian somewhat awkwardly:

"Teacher Liu, you'd better not drink it."

Both Meng Chuan and Liu Qian couldn't help but recall the scene from that morning.

Even without Meng Chuan saying it, Liu Qian is now more afraid of alcohol than of poisonous snakes.

I especially recall the scene in the video where I was talking nonsense after drinking.

Liu Qian's face instantly flushed.

"It's alright. Dad's in a good mood today. Let alone a minor injury, even if his head were chopped off, he'd still be able to drink a pound of liquor."

Meng Jianguo's heroic spirit soared like a thousand clouds.

"You! When your son wasn't home, you said you were dizzy and needed to lie down for a while. Now that you're in a good mood, you're talking about some minor injury."

Zhang Mei immediately contradicted him.

But it's clear that Zhang Mei is also happy at this moment.

"Okay, then I'll go with Dad. But after we finish eating, Dad, you have to listen to me, we need to go to the hospital to get your head checked."

Meng Chuan clinked glasses with his father, Meng Jianguo.

But he was still worried about Meng Jianguo's injuries.

Meng Chuan knew his father was frugal.

Even if someone's head is broken, they'll probably just get a simple bandage and stop the bleeding at the town's clinic.

They definitely wouldn't want to go to a big hospital for a CT scan.

"It's nothing, they said it's just a minor injury, why waste the money!"

Meng Jianguo immediately refused.

Over the years, both Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei have always tried to stretch every penny to its limit.

Unless it's used on Meng Chuan.

They always try to save as much as possible when it comes to spending money on themselves.

"Dad! Your son has money now. Good health is the most important thing. Give me your bank account later and I'll transfer you a million. Don't worry too much about money in the future."

Meng Chuan advised.

"How...how much? One million?"

Meng Jianguo was stunned for a moment.

He knew his son had made something of himself.

But he never imagined his son would be so successful!

The fact that Meng Chuan said one million was even more shocking to him than when Meng Chuan had previously berated the chairman of a listed company.

After all, Meng Jianguo didn't have a very direct concept of what it meant to be the chairman of a listed company.

But he had a good grasp of the concept of a million.

That was a lot of money, more than he could ever dream of in his life.

"Son, have you done something illegal? How did you get so much money?"

Zhang Mei, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.

Then, nervously grasping Meng Chuan's hand, she said tremblingly:

"Son, although our family is poor, you must have ambition! You must never make a mistake..."

"Mom, don't worry, don't be afraid. Your son is an educated man, how could I do anything illegal or criminal?"

Meng Chuan hurriedly comforted his mother.

To make his words more credible, Meng Chuan even brought up Liu Qian:

"Look, Teacher Liu is still here! If I really did something illegal, would Teacher Liu still come to our house?"

Zhang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Liu Qian nervously.

I wanted to get a positive answer from Liu Qian.

"Yes! Auntie, don't worry, Meng Chuan's money is all clean. I watched him earn it, so you can rest assured!"

Liu Qian hurriedly testified for Meng Chuan.

"Then how did you earn so much money? You just graduated from high school and haven't even started working yet."

Meng Jianguo also put down his wine glass and asked solemnly.

It's a good thing that his son is doing well, but as a father, he won't be able to sleep tonight without figuring out the whole story!

"Mom and Dad, have you been watching the news lately? There's a mysterious person in our county who won a 2.5 million yuan lottery prize."

Meng Chuan asked.

In fact, everyone in the county knows about this.

It's been reported on TV news for several days.

The lottery station where Meng Chuan bought the lottery ticket was interviewed by many news media outlets.

Countless lottery players travel hundreds of miles to that lottery station to buy tickets.

They said they wanted to share in the joyous atmosphere.

Therefore, even Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei, who were born in the countryside, had only heard of it to some extent.

They never dared to imagine such a windfall happening to them.

"Son, do you mean you're the one who won the lottery?"

Meng Jianguo's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

2.5 billion!

How much does that cost?

"Dad, don't get excited. It's not that much. After paying 50 million in taxes, we only received 200 million."

Meng Chuan was genuinely worried that his father might get too excited and cause something bad to happen.

"Two...two...two hundred million..."

Meng Jianguo clutched his chest.

His heart was pounding in his chest.

Her face, which had been rosy from being in a good mood, instantly turned deathly pale.

“Dad, it wasn’t that much. You know I had very little living expenses back then, and I was reluctant to spend money. I… I bought it with my classmates, and I only contributed two yuan, so I only got five million. No, no, no, there was also a million in taxes, so I only got four million. Dad, only four million.”

Meng Chuan hurriedly held up four fingers and waved them in front of Meng Jianguo.

The amount was reduced again and again.

Four million, that's the most I can ask for.

More fathers might be in mortal danger.

Liu Qian was stunned.

Looking at the excited Meng Jianguo, and then at the nervous and comical Meng Chuan.

She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare.

She tried to hold it in, but she couldn't.

"I...I need to use the restroom."

Liu Qian fled in panic.
