C14 He Gave It to Him

"Hey! This situation is what it is, and there's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's your daughter, not just anyone else. Just bear with it, let her do her thing for now. Humor her a bit, and everything will be fine later. Don't get upset over this. She's your only daughter, and eventually, everything will be hers anyway. It's just a matter of time, so don't sweat it. Once she's happy, she won't be looking to cause trouble for you."

You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together. Qin Guangjun and his buddies all have a few things in common. First, they're a bit wild, and second, they spoil their kids. They all have the same mindset: raise the boys tough and the girls like princesses. Every daughter is treated like royalty, with two very different standards. Take Pan Hao, for example...

Qin Guangjun has managed to present himself quite well, thanks to some clever maneuvering. Within three days, he slapped a stack of signed property transfer documents in front of Qin Su. He even hired professionals to evaluate everything. The total assets, including real estate and liquid funds, amounted to a whopping $500,000, leaving Qin Su speechless.

She never imagined, even in two lifetimes, that their family would have $500,000 at this point. Just think about it—being a millionaire now is not the same as being one decades ago. In a small town, anyone with that kind of money would be the talk of several towns.

"Five million dollars! Did you rob a bank or something?"

Seeing Qin Su almost speechless, Qin Guangjun felt quite pleased with himself. He thought, "See, in this family, your dad's still the most capable!"

"My dear, this is all we've got right now. Just like you asked, I'm giving it all to you. You're my only daughter, and all this hard work and saving is for you. If you don't want me, who's going to earn money for you in the future?"

Qin Su snapped back to reality and looked at Qin Guangjun with a curious expression.

"How did you make all this money? I remember we moved to the city less than ten years ago with just a hundred bucks to our name. That's what you and Mom told me. In seven or eight years, you made over five million? Don't tell me you won the lottery."

Qin Guangjun chuckled.

"There's no such easy money! This is all your dad's hard-earned cash. If our family has this kind of wealth, we owe it to Mr. Liu. We used to work construction together. Later, Mr. Liu had a distant relative who was into stocks and helped him out. He made quite a bit on his first try, and then Mr. Liu got me involved a few times. Man, that was a real money-maker. I invested just a thousand dollars, and within a week, it multiplied several times over. A thousand turned into tens of thousands! In about half a year, Mr. Liu and I each made a clean three million."

After getting into the business, I've seen quite a few people lose everything. Mr. Liu and I figured it wasn't a long-term plan, so we pulled out and started a real estate venture together. Over the years, we've made around five million, which isn't all that surprising anymore."

Talking about those old days, Qin Guangjun still felt a sense of pride. It was the first time Qin Su heard her dad talk about these things, and she couldn't help but think they really hit the jackpot.

But her dad was right; the stock market is the same no matter the era. You often hear people say, "The stock market is risky; invest with caution."

The fact that they chose to step back from the brink shows their self-control, and Qin Su really admired her dad for that.
