Everyone in the family was a bit stunned.
In Zack's family, whether it was his parents or his aunt's family, they were all just ordinary families.
The profits of millions, even tens of millions, left both families a bit disoriented.
But amidst the disarray, there was more shock and joy at Zack's achievements.
As Zack's mother placed dishes on the dining table, her face was filled with smiles as she murmured, "...My son is capable, and as a mother, I can rest assured."
"...Zack, that money is yours. Mom won't take it to help you save. You've always been sensible, so don't spend it frivolously."
"Save it up for when you need to get married in the future."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Zack felt a bit helpless. Alright, his mother only thinks about her son getting married.
"I got it, Mom."
Zack didn't argue with his mother but nodded in agreement.
No matter what, he wanted to make his parents happy first. As for what he actually needed to do, Zack of course had his own ideas.
"Zack will graduate in a year. What are your plans for the future? Are you going back to Webb City or staying in the capital?"
"...Now that you're rich, even though the housing market has peaked and isn't suitable for investment, the prices in the capital won't drop. If you really want to develop here, buying a house in the capital would give you peace of mind."
His uncle said at this moment.
After all, as a middle-level leader in a company, he saw things very clearly and gave good advice.
If Zack's income was only this much, he would indeed ponder whether to stay in the capital for the long term.
Although Webb City is a new first-tier city, in terms of opportunities, the capital is stronger.
But he knew how much money he actually had. Buying a house was feasible anywhere.
At this point, Zack's father also spoke up, "...To me, the capital is good, but if Zack wants to stay in a big city, he should go to Shanghai."
"...Shanghai is close to Webb City. It only takes half an hour by high-speed rail. He can come back and visit us on weekends."
Everyone started arguing, each with their own reasoning, but the topic and person of discussion were always centered around Zack.
His aunt also noticed the phone and laptop that Zack bought for Minnie. She immediately furrowed her brows and said, "...Zack, why did you buy such expensive things for Minnie?"
"She's about to enter her third year of junior high and prepare for the high school entrance exam. We can't let her be playful and her grades drop. If she can't even get into high school, there's no need to talk about the college entrance exam."
Seeing that her mother seemed to want to return her new phone and laptop, Minnie panicked and quickly looked at Zack with a pleading gaze.
Zack received her plea for help and smiled, "...Minnie's grades are pretty good. She'll have no problem getting into high school."
"...Aunt, don't be too strict with her education. The things are already bought and the packaging is torn, so they can't be returned. Just keep an eye on her. If her grades really drop, we'll confiscate them all."
Upon hearing Zack speak up for her, Minnie relaxed and gave him a grateful look.
His aunt shook her head and glared at Minnie, "...Since your brother said so, keep the things. Don't you thank your brother?"
The little girl pouted her lips and said, "...I already thanked him. Besides, he bought these for me under certain conditions. I have to introduce my classmates to be his girlfriend."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. His aunt laughed and scolded, "...Introducing a girlfriend for your brother."
"...What if the introduction fails?"
Minnie snorted and said, "...Then I'll be his girlfriend to compensate him. He's getting a good deal."
Everyone in the family laughed again and teased her, making Minnie blush furiously.
"Learn from your brother in the future. Look at him. He's both good at studying and capable now. If you could be half as good as your brother, I'd be grateful to heaven and earth."
Zack ate with a smile on his face, watching Minnie get lectured.
This is the way parents love to lecture their children—comparing them to others!
Zack's parents always said the same thing to him when he was young. It was only after he exceeded expectations in the college entrance exam and got into the Imperial Capital University of Finance and Economics that he became "other people's child."
Although Minnie felt upset, she could only listen with frustration for the sake of her new phone.
The meal was filled with joy, and Zack became the undeniable protagonist of the family.
His aunt and uncle praised him endlessly, while his parents shared some of his childhood mischiefs.
But looking at their grins, it was clear how happy they were.
His aunt is a family member and truly praised Zack from the bottom of her heart.
If it were some outsiders, they might say something sarcastic out of jealousy.
...
His aunt's family didn't stay in Webb City for too long because they also had to work.
After spending another day in Webb City with Minnie, Zack went to the high-speed rail station to send them back to the capital at night.
"Zack, you can go back. It's too hot today. You don't need to see us off."
"...When you come back to the capital for school, let Aunt know in advance. Aunt will cook you a delicious meal."
They arrived at the high-speed rail station a bit early, so Zack chatted with his aunt's family at the security checkpoint.
"Alright, then I'll go back. It's tiring for us to stand here chatting. Uncle, Aunt, go inside and find seats to rest for a while."
"...I've been busy recently. When school starts, I'll probably visit you on a weekend."
Zack said with generosity and modesty.
"The famous writer is now busy with affairs."
His uncle joked.
"Minnie, say goodbye to your brother. We're leaving first."
His aunt tugged Minnie and urged her.
Minnie smiled sweetly and waved happily at Zack, "...Then I'm leaving, big brother! See you in the capital. I'll go persuade my classmates when I get back."
"Do you even need to persuade? Just introduce me to your classmates, and they'll be eager to be my girlfriend."
Zack teased her.
Minnie spat and said with disdain, "...Big brother, you're so shameless."
After chatting with his aunt's family for a few more sentences, they finally parted ways.
His uncle and aunt took Minnie through the security check. After passing the security check, the little girl turned back and waved at Zack while jumping.
Zack also smiled and waved back at her.
Although Zack occasionally stayed at his aunt's house over the past three years, his relationship with his cousin wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. They usually talked very little.
But after just two days in Webb City, their relationship had grown closer by leaps and bounds.
Zack knew that this was due to the changes in mindset and confidence brought about by his current achievements.
Now, he was the center of the family, admired by all. He hoped that in the future, he would become the center of everyone's attention, worshipped with enthusiasm.
"Just in time for the market to open tomorrow. Back to making money."
Zack muttered to himself. Making money was the most important thing now.
