Chapter 879: Chapter 880 Luxury Villa and Sports Car

"Can we really use this car? What if we damage it!" Wang Xiaoqiang’s parents were still terrified. They had just seen the invoice for the car, over three million yuan. Even a scratch on the paint could cost a fortune."

Li Gang chuckled, "Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. If Dongzi says it’s okay, then it’s okay. Xiaoqiang, go ahead and try it."

Wang Xiaoqiang was excited but kept shaking his head, saying, "I dare not drive it. What if I really scratch it?"

"What are you afraid of, isn’t there insurance? Spit it out, you’re not a newbie driver, you’ve been driving your family’s van for years, and it’s all fine. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, can’t you be a bit more ambitious? If you’re afraid to even drive a car, how will you keep up with Dongzi in the future?"

Provoked by Li Gang, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly glared and said, "Fine, I’ll drive it. I am an experienced driver. Gangzi, I hope you won’t be so timid in the future, or else I’ll have to mock you."

"Heh, of course not. I’m going to hang out with Dongzi now, I’m a billionaire, and next time I get a car, I won’t be as excited," he said.

"Xiao Cao, come get in the car!" Wang Xiaoqiang called to Xiao Cao.

Xiao Cao immediately excitedly got in the car; after all, she’s a girl and seeing such a beautiful sports car, how could she not want to experience it.

Li Gang and others were driving Wang Xiaoqiang’s family van, and the two vehicles arrived together at British Manor.

After parking the car, naturally, they had to check out the house.

Following the private driveway, the two cars followed the road signs in the neighborhood to find the villa. When they saw the villa, Wang Xiaoqiang’s family felt intimidated again.

The villa looked so high-end and luxurious from the outside, they never imagined they could live in such a villa in their lives.

Wang Xiaoqiang’s mother, holding the keys, stood at the door, too frightened to open it. Cautiously, she said, "What if we can’t open it, will we be mistaken for thieves?"

Li Gang laughed, "Auntie, don’t worry about it. How could Dongzi possibly deceive us? This is going to be your home from now on."

Then slowly, Wang Xiaoqiang’s mother inserted the key and when it turned smoothly, the heart that she had in her throat finally settled down.

The villa was fully furnished and not just decorated; even the furniture was all in place. All they needed to bring were a couple of pieces of clothing and they could move in right away.

"Can we...go inside?" Wang Xiaoqiang’s parents were still uneasy.

At this time, although Wang Xiaoqiang was incredibly excited, he had come to accept it and said with a slight smile, "Mom and Dad, go ahead, this is our home from now on."

Then he turned and took Xiao Cao’s hand, saying, "Xiao Cao, this is our home too."

Xiao Cao pursed her lips and said, "It kind of feels like I’m marrying into a rich family."

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed heartily and said, "I might have been a country bumpkin before, but I am a tycoon now, though still somewhat surreal. But I will make you believe that I will make this tycoon status well-deserved."

Xiao Cao nodded repeatedly, saying, "I believe you."

Li Gang then patted Wang Xiaoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoqiang, well done. Dongzi probably never helped us before because he was afraid that we might forget our origins once we suddenly became rich. We must always remind ourselves not to disgrace Dongzi, and not let others speak of Dongzi’s brothers as nothing but wastes who only got ahead because of Dongzi."

"Yes!" Wang Xiaoqiang also nodded vigorously, saying, "I’ll remember that, Gangzi, you have to try hard too."

Li Gang smiled proudly, "Of course, I need to find a girlfriend soon, then let Dongzi send me a wedding gift. Otherwise, I’d be at a loss, haha."

Just then, everyone entered the villa, feeling uneasy at first and then excited, all with a feeling as if they were dreaming.

At this time, Song Xiaodong had already arrived at Shen Dongyang’s home.

Although not in Tiannan, Song Xiaodong still maintained some contact with Shen Dongyang and had come this time for an important matter to discuss.

Shen Yue, who was preparing for an internship and thus no longer needed to stay at school, opened the door for Song Xiaodong.

"Big Brother Song!" Shen Yue called out excitedly, then got slippers ready for Song Xiaodong.

After changing shoes, Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, Shen Yue, you’ve become even more beautiful."

Shen Yue smiled broadly, "Big Brother Song, you’ve started flattering people now huh?"

"That’s not flattering, it’s just the honest truth."

The two of them went in, greeted Shen Dongyang and his wife Sun Dongxiang, and then Song Xiaodong sat down.

"Alright, talk amongst yourselves; I’ll go get you some fruit," Sun Dongxiang said as she got up, with Shen Yue following her to let Song Xiaodong and Shen Dongyang talk.

After a bit of small talk, Song Xiaodong broached the main topic, saying, "Uncle Shen, have you ever thought about moving to another city to develop?"

Shen Dongyang’s eyes lit up, saying, "At our level, it’s quite normal to switch jobs between cities."

Song Xiaodong said, "That’s what I was thinking, I was hoping you’d consider moving to Minghe."

"To Minghe, your turf...," Shen Dongyang hesitated a bit at this point.

"Is it that Uncle Shen doesn’t want to go, or are there concerns?"

"I do have concerns. I know a bit about these big families like yours; many officials are propped up by you, but these officials obviously have to serve these families. I became an official not to serve any particular person or family."

Song Xiaodong gave Shen Dongyang a thumbs up, saying, "Uncle Shen truly is a noble official indifferent to fame and fortune. Actually, my reason for asking you to go there is just that—since Minghe’s official circles are mostly divided by big families, this isn’t good for a city’s development. If you go and simply act as a normal official, without serving any particular family, that will suffice."

"Really?" Shen Dongyang looked at Song Xiaodong, somewhat astonished.

"Yes! Indeed, the family thing really is a hindrance to social development; I’m not in favor of it, it’s just that I now find myself unavoidably in this position."

Shen Dongyang’s face slowly broke into a smile, saying, "Since you have this in mind, this is a good chance for me to showcase my vengeance, how could I possibly refuse?"

"Excellent, then get ready, I’ll make sure you can take over as the mayor directly."

"Mayor?" Shen Dongyang’s eyes widened suddenly, as he was currently just a deputy mayor in regular service. The challenge of moving to an economically developed city to become the mayor was something he was all too aware of.
