Chapter 399: Chapter 142: New Strategies to Avoid Spending! This time, I will be the enemy of mankind!_2

That was way too bold.

Understand that Blue Star’s players, these tycoons, only stopped spending on their previous games because a large part of the cap was self-imposed. It wasn’t because their wallets weren’t thick enough.

Besides, many casual players might also become loyal fans due to a game being too enjoyable, and gradually explore other games.

This act is somewhat overestimating oneself.

"Brother, aren’t you off work yet? It’s almost seven, dinner at home is ready." Just then, his phone vibrated twice. He took it out and saw that Baby Yu had sent him a message and was waiting for him downstairs at the company.

She had classes at school today and didn’t report to the company.

Thinking it over, Ke Jin packed up and decisively went downstairs.

Having run the company for nearly two years, Ke Jin had come to understand some truths.

For instance, some problems that couldn’t be resolved right away might find their solutions later on if left alone for a while.

Soon, the siblings were home.

The dishes were already on the table, and Mrs. Ke was untieing her apron, urging them to wash their hands and eat.

"How’s the company doing lately?" During the meal, Ke Jun popped a peanut into his mouth and asked his son nonchalantly.

"Uh... pretty good, the boss even said he’s going to give me a raise," Ke Jin mumbled through his hurried meal.

"Oh." Ke Jun nodded, took another sip of his drink, which crinkled his face into a bundle of wrinkles, then probed again indirectly.

"That media company you’re working for, it isn’t a shareholding one, is it?"

"Shareholding? No," Ke Jin shook his head.

"Good, that’s good. Share holding can harm people. When you have time, talk to your boss about it. If it’s possible not to be a shareholding company, then don’t be one," Ke Jun implied.

However, Ke Jin didn’t catch the hint and just naively agreed, "Okay."

This time it was Ke Yu who reacted quicker, giving Ke Jin a nudge under the table and chimed in with a smile, "Dad, you think too highly of my brother. He’s just a small employee, how could he discuss such matters with the boss?"

Then, having realized what she meant, Ke Jin nodded, "Ah right, I usually just do odd jobs at the company, write some documents and stuff."

"Is that so." Ke Jun glanced over his two little cubs without saying anything more.

Instead, the brother and sister quietly exchanged suggestive looks.

’Beep beep, this is Cappuccino Decoding Group, are you out of your mind, bro! How can you speak without considering basic logic? How can you, a small employee, persuade the company’s boss not to seek financing?’

’Iced Americano message received, that was indeed hasty, credit to you for catching that.’

’Hey, do you think dad knows something? Why do I feel like the way he asked his questions today was a bit off?’

’What’s off about it? He’s just concerned about how his son’s job is going. Don’t overthink it, turn off that broken sixth sense of yours. You’re like Teletubbies every day, blindly receiving signals without a clue.’

Right after finishing the silent conversation, Ke Jin got another kick.

Looking up, he saw Ke Yu puffing her cheeks, staring at him fiercely.

Calling me a dumbass, right? I’ll kick you to death!

Just as Ke Jin was about to retort his sister.

He suddenly heard a news report coming from the TV.

In essence, the national obesity rate was continuously rising and becoming more prevalent among the young.

A high obesity rate can lead to various adverse health conditions.

Departments in various provinces and cities should actively carry out investigations and encourage everyone to start exercising, to see through ’carbon reduction’, and to take good care of their bodies.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Ke commented.

"Your father, the news is pointing at you."

Ke Jun nearly choked, defensively retorting, "What does it have to do with me? I’m over fifty years old, with a height of 175 and a weight of 150. Thirty years ago, I was quite the catch. Where am I fat?"

"Heh, you? It’s lucky that Ke Jin and Yu inherited my genes, or else they would never be able to marry off," Mrs. Ke shot back.

That left Ke Jun red-faced and neck swollen with indignation as he said, "The kids’ and Yu’s eyes both resemble mine! Do you even understand what ’sword eyebrows and starry eyes’ mean?"

Ke Jin really wanted to say.

I can understand you old folks bickering every day.

But why is Baby Yu ’Yu’ in your mouths, and I’m just ’the kid’? Has my name Ke Jin become unworthy?

Glancing at Ke Yu, sure enough, she was there covering her mouth, laughing gleefully.

Laugh on, I’ll give you something to remember when we go to the office tomorrow!

Then he heard Mrs. Ke speaking again.

"Telling you to jog and lose some weight won’t kill you. Instead of spending time fishing every weekend, it would be better to run a couple of laps around the neighborhood. Anyway, you never catch anything fishing; running a couple of laps is healthy."

This comment was the last straw for Ke Jun.

He shouted loudly.

"Who says I didn’t catch anything? The plate of small fish you all ate last week was caught by me!"

"Alright alright, okay okay," Mrs. Ke knew her husband’s sore spot and immediately stopped provoking him. She then said, "So what if the law now says you have to run two laps before you can fish? Would you still fish?"

Ke Jun was caught off guard, smacked his lips, and shook his head.

"No fishing, whoever wants to can fish."

"How so?"

"Fishing is a hobby, meant for leisure and relaxation. But if it’s based on some other required task, how can you relax? That’s oppression."
