78: Chapter 78: Family Conflicts 78: Chapter 78: Family Conflicts Zhao Guang had thoroughly cleaned himself several times, mentally preparing for the discomfort that would follow over the next month. After finishing his meal, Zhao Guang prepared for his second cultivation session of the day. However, with insufficient Combat Energy, he could only use the Holy Spring to recover. “I don’t know if I can persist, I need to buy more Holy Spring from the Beastman.” He simply had no choice, if he had to rely on his own Combat Energy recovery, it would take much longer. With constant cultivation, he could be done in about a month, but if he relied solely on himself, he had no idea how much longer it would take. It wouldn’t just be a matter of smelling foul all over—if things got worse, his body might even start to rot away. This time, Zhao Guang finally understood the profound effect high-level materials had on one’s body. It seemed that other warriors didn’t cultivate powerful Lifebound Battle Skills simply because they lacked advanced materials. The substantial impact was too great. The investment he was making was something even ordinary nobles couldn’t afford. Besides, nobles didn’t have just one child and couldn’t possibly invest all their resources into a single individual. The phone rang again, and Zhao Guang lifted his hand to look at it, somewhat helplessly operating it with his lips. “Why did it take you so long to answer the phone, what the hell are you doing?” His older sister’s voice came through, clearly agitated as if she was on the verge of exploding. “Sis, I, I was in the bathroom just now, what’s up?” “What’s up? You have the nerve to ask that, you went straight home, didn’t you. Listen, the report that’s due and the company’s accounts...” Before Zhao Guang could speak, Zhao Yan rattled off a string of figures. If Zhao Guang hadn’t improved his memory, he would have had a hard time remembering it all. “Alright, I’m done talking, if you don’t understand, then come by the company to check it out. Ever since the company was established, you haven’t been there even once.” Zhao Guang rolled his eyes, why should he go? When the company was founded, it was just a shell company. The office was Zhao Yan’s doing. Of course, he had never been there. “No need, I got it all.” In reality, he didn’t need to remember so much, just how much money he had made. Da Manjin didn’t have that much liquid capital, so most of those Jade items were consigned to the company. Only when they were sold would the funds be transferred to your company. Zhao Yan had been worried about dissatisfaction on that end, but after Zhao Guang reassured her repeatedly that there would be no issues, she finally felt at ease. After all, both companies were hers. It’s just that the company abroad had all its accounts on a separate bank card of his. It was something that couldn’t withstand scrutiny, but fortunately, his sister had no means to investigate. “Another thing, I’ve talked to mom and dad about your situation.” “What did you say?” Zhao Guang suddenly wasn’t sleepy anymore, feeling rather nervous instead. “What else could I say? I told them you’ve partnered in a business, now you’ve started a company, the company’s turnover is very high, and it’s growing rapidly.” “Just that? Did you tell them how big it could get?” Zhao Yan’s voice sounded lazy, “Nope, I didn’t dare say directly, only that we’re not short on money now and can even send money home. How much are you planning to give? They haven’t dared to touch the last sum.” “Haven’t dared to? Never mind, I’ll talk to them.” “That would be great, they are having an argument about it right now, go talk to them.” The frustration in his sister’s voice was gone, vanished without a trace. So, her irritability wasn’t about him neglecting the company, but due to family conflicts. But what was the trouble now between those two? Never mind, he had previously been unable to intervene, but now, things were different; it was all about the money. Since he was the one who brought the money home, if he didn’t step in, the quarrels might well continue. Was it worth causing such unhappiness at home over such a trivial matter? Zhao Guang laboriously dialed the phone, and on the other end, both his parents came on the line. “You tell us, what should we do? We don’t even know how to handle this.” His mother’s voice also surfaced, “Technically, this money is yours, so you should have the final say. Now, you come up with a decision for us.” His mother’s voice sounded weary. “You sound exhausted, how long have you been arguing? Explain the situation to me first.” Zhao Guang, listening to their voices on the phone, felt somewhat guilty. If he had known, he wouldn’t have frightened them like this. But he had to tell them; otherwise, they would still be worried about whether he was doing well on his own. “This is the situation,” his father Zhao Feng began to explain. Originally, they planned to save the money to either help his sister’s family in the future or to buy a house. But after learning that Zhao Guang’s business had grown significantly, they began to have different opinions. His mother wanted to open a factory or a supermarket to give jobs to relatives and improve their living conditions. His father disagreed, partly because there were too many incompetent relatives on his mother’s side. If they were all brought on board, it would inevitably lead to big problems in the future. Moreover, this money was given to them by Zhao Guang; even if they didn’t enjoy it themselves, they couldn’t squander it. Therefore, his father suggested investing it, buying properties, and collecting rent. Indeed, houses were the only investment his father believed in, with no other alternatives. After all, to the eyes of his countrymen, property was always a solid investment that wouldn’t depreciate. Hearing their different opinions, an idea occurred to Zhao Guang. “Well, this issue is pretty easy to resolve. Why not, let’s take care of both sides.” “Both sides? How so? Do you have enough money?” “Of course, I do. I’ll transfer another five million to the family. Dad can invest in property, and Mom can take care of the relatives. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?” Zhao Guang truly didn’t care about this amount now. “No need, don’t let it cause any trouble for you.” “Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any problems. But speaking of which, dealing with the relatives is indeed tricky. There are some people who won’t behave properly,” Zhao Guang was familiar with those individuals. “Exactly, if not for these people, would I disagree?” Zhao Feng’s complaining voice could be heard. Zhao Guang suddenly said, “I was thinking, why not invest directly in the village and establish a collective enterprise. This way, the pressure is on the village, not on Mom to handle everything. Those people also don’t need Mom to mediate.” “Can we do that?” Both were hesitant, but it seemed to be the best solution.
