No other reason!

Just want them to have a more comfortable time while they're out.

They've spent so many years focusing on their son, now it's time for them to live well for themselves.

Loving to travel is a pretty good hobby, isn't it?

As long as it's not spent on those Little Fairies.

But hey...

Hehehe...

You've only got a few good days left.

Soon enough, I'll give you a big surprise.

Then you'll know what an unexpected surprise really is.

End of November.

Two pieces of good news.

First, the system's experience value hit a new high, reaching 400,000, with the investment company receiving 28.8 billion.

From the 23 billion harvested in October, 10 billion was invested in Weima Automobile.

The remaining over 10 billion wasn't just left idle in the company's accounts.

Instead, it was instructed to be diversely invested by the investment department.

As for the investment strategy, it was still the one that had been decided earlier: heavily investing in sunset industries.

Despite having clear targets, there were plenty of acquisition targets to consider.

But handling over 10 billion still exhausted the investment department's partners.

To fulfill the imperative of spending that 10 billion, they worked overtime and finally met the target.

In the end, they were rewarded with half a month's paid vacation.

It instantly revived the investment department's morale.

Moreover, the headquarters' investment department received countless resumes from people with major investment banking experience.

However, the headquarters was not hiring outsiders for the time being.

This was a strict rule set by the system.

There was no other way.

If that's the case, is it possible to avoid the system-binded investment company and start another?

The other investment company wouldn't be so unconventional.

Instead, it would follow the mainstream market tracks and make normal investments people should make?

But this matter is not urgent.

The main thing is, he doesn't have the confidence.

Because he simply isn't cut out for it.

If he seriously tried to make investments, he feared there wouldn't even be underwear left after losing all.

Thinking about such a bleak prospect, he immediately quashed the urge within him to prove his ambition.

Forget it, better to honestly fleece the system.

The second piece of good news was the birth of his first child.

It was a daughter, very beautiful, with the same striking eyes as her mother, Wu Xiaoli, but everything else looked like her father, Sun Dasheng.

Indeed, the saying that daughters resemble their fathers has some truth.

Grandpa Sun and Mrs Sun only got the news of the child's birth on the same day and flew back on the same day on their dear son's private plane, of course.

When they arrived at the hospital delivery room, they gave their son a good talking to.

If not for the crowd, they'd have loved to give him a mixed doubles match right there.

Luckily, they made it before their granddaughter was born.

Otherwise, the old couple would have regretted it terribly.

This is the first child of the third generation of the Sun family.

How could it not be taken seriously?

Plus, the old couple didn't have much of a preference for sons over daughters, so they were particularly doting on their first child being a granddaughter.

Mrs Wu was relieved to see the Sun family showering affection on her granddaughter.

She feared that if her daughter had a girl, the in-laws would treat her coldly.

She's seen many cases like that.

Unexpectedly, in a wealthy family, the family atmosphere was even more relaxed and harmonious than in ordinary families.

They even gave the little granddaughter a nickname: An'an.

Meaning: Safe and sound!

This was also the first meeting between the two families.

Taking advantage of the granddaughter's arrival.

Both families had a grand meal together.

Afterward, the old couple of the Sun family also decided not to travel for now, staying behind to take care of the granddaughter.

Sun Dasheng was, of course, more than happy about that.

But when two families live together, bumps and scrapes are inevitable.

So he simply bought the villa next to Wu Xiaoli's Villa No. 11.

Of course, it wasn't that easy.

But when he offered a price at 1.5 times the market value, the original owner was more than willing to let go of the villa.

This villa next to Wu Xiaoli's Villa No. 11 was about the same size, becoming the place for his parents to settle in Shanghai City.

It was named Villa No. 0 by Sun Dasheng.

Initially, Grandpa Sun and Mrs Sun thought he was wasting money, spending lavishly.

But after he laid out the facts and reasoned with them, they had to agree he was right.

Even if the villa is very spacious.

Having both families live together for a long time might cause friction over different living habits, not only affecting the families' relationships but also potentially impacting the healthy growth of the little granddaughter.

So they moved into the villa happily.

Starting a life of taking care of the granddaughter while enjoying retirement.

As for the old home.

It's better not to go back for the time being.

Times have changed.

Now Sun Dasheng's reputation is widespread, and he can't keep a low profile even if he wants to.

The local government is trying in every possible way to get him to return home to start a business and contribute to the local economy.

He can't refuse due to feelings (since many people in government departments are old acquaintances of Grandpa Sun and Mrs Sun, always finding someone to intercede)

So he casually invested in a few local industries.

Of course, not in new startups, but by acquiring stakes in a few companies.

Then he left them to it.

It also counts as completing a task.

Indeed, things quieted down a lot on that side.

"Da Sheng, just deal with things back home lightly, don't really spend all the money there," advised Grandpa Sun.

He knows the nature of the county.

Things that can trap people to death without accountability.

Before investing, all promises and politeness.

After investing, complete disregard.

That's why many county economies can't develop.

He would never let his son throw money down the drain.

"Dad, I know, I haven't spent much."

"That's good!" said Grandpa Sun, picking up the rattle drum he made by hand, "Going to see the granddaughter."

Sun Dasheng felt speechless, "Dad, how old is An'an? She can't play with that yet."

Grandpa Sun, hearing this, got unhappy, "I'll make it for her now, she can play with it when she's big enough."

Then he walked out without looking back.

Mrs Sun also quickly caught up with a bag in her hand.

Sun Dasheng hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's in your bag?"

"Diapers, of course! Little kids need them a lot, I made them myself, much more reliable than store-bought ones."

Alright, this stuff is really quite useful, he said nothing more.

Watching the suddenly empty house, he felt a bit redundant.

The whole family now revolved almost entirely around the child.

Of course, he also wanted to revolve around the child.

Unfortunately, he felt powerless.

All the older women at home wouldn't let him hold the child, saying that men are careless and could cause problems.

Hmph!

That's just prejudice.

But there's nothing he could do, especially since his own parents were the most prejudiced of all.

Feeling unwelcome, after lunch Sun Dasheng went out for a walk to help with digestion.

Villa No. 13.

When Xiang Yiren received the call, she put down her work and rushed home.

As soon as she got to the door, she couldn't wait to hug him and shower him with kisses.

This made Sun Dasheng feel a bit guilty.

She was one of the two women who had been with him the longest.

Wu Xiaoli now had her mother by her side and a newly born daughter, blissful beyond measure.

Yet Xiang Yiren, who had been with Sun Dasheng roughly the same time, remained alone.

So Sun Dasheng picked her up and, looking into her slightly surprised eyes, said, "Do you want a child?"

Xiang Yiren couldn't believe it at first, then nodded eagerly.

Though she had never said it, the thought had long been in her mind.

She was a smart woman, knowing the man had many women, leaving not much time for her.

She especially wanted a child, a crystallization of their relationship, to accompany her often—so that even if she lost favor when age caught up, having a child would add weight and allow her a better life.

Both emotionally and practically, it was something she desired.

She just never dared to ask, fearing it might backfire.

She knew men could be stubborn donkeys; you have to go along with them, never rouse their rebellious side.

Now, at last, this man said these words, bringing her to tears.

Not a bit of pretense.

Sun Dasheng smiled, wiping away her tears, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Xiang Yiren hugged him tightly, saying, "I'm not crying, I'm just happy."

"Okay, happy it is!" Sun Dasheng didn't spoil her words.

He carried her towards the bedroom.

Followed by a heated baby-making endeavor.
