Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

The next day, Qi Sheng woke up naturally, his arms wrapped around his sweet-smelling girlfriend.

”Lazy bones, your mom has called for us a few times already.”

Seeing that Qi Sheng was finally awake, Tan Hua pinched his nose, a little embarrassed and annoyed.

She had been exhausted the day before and was only wearing a light nightgown.

And had dazedly fallen asleep in Qi Sheng’s arms.

Then, this morning, Zhu Min had come knocking.

She couldn’t break free from Qi Sheng’s embrace at all, so she could only awkwardly pretend to still be asleep.

What annoyed her even more was that Qi Sheng wasn’t even awake yet.

But she still couldn’t break free and could only endure it in silence.

Looking at his girlfriend, her face flushed and her eyes alluring,

Qi Sheng, having just woken up, was already fired up. Naturally, he had to put out that fire before anything else.

By the time the two of them got ready and came out, it was almost noon.

No one had much to do during the New Year holiday anyway.

Even though the two of them were very careful, the old couple still heard the commotion.

Although the old couple was a bit embarrassed, the thought that Qi Sheng and Tan Hua were working hard to give them a grandchild made them happy to let it happen, so they simply turned up the volume on the TV.

”Mom, Dad, is lunch ready?”

”It’s been ready for a while. You two go eat. Later, Mom will take Huahua to buy gold jewelry.”

”Good afternoon, Uncle and Auntie.”

Tan Hua blushed, wishing the ground would swallow her whole.

It was all Qi Sheng’s fault. After hearing the TV in the living room get louder, he had become even more unrestrained.

”Buying gold jewelry?”

The corner of Qi Sheng’s mouth twitched. ”Isn’t this a little too soon?”

”What do you know? The price of gold has been rising for the past two years. If we don’t buy now, it’s going to double.”

Zhu Min shot Qi Sheng a look, then took Tan Hua’s hand, her expression turning kind and gentle.

”Huahua, don’t feel any pressure. I’ve already accepted you as my daughter-in-law. We have to buy this gold jewelry sooner or later anyway, so buying it now will save us money.”

”Thank you, Auntie.”

Tan Hua smiled sweetly, fully accepting her future mother-in-law’s kind gesture.

’Besides, the gold jewelry can’t be that expensive.’

’She could also take this opportunity to buy a bracelet for her future mother-in-law.’

”You two can just go. Why are you dragging me along?”

Qi Sheng wasn’t interested in gold jewelry and figured his mom could just take Tan Hua, but he hadn’t expected Zhu Min to insist on him coming.

”When I tell you to go, you go. Enough with the nonsense.”

Zhu Min glared at Qi Sheng. She was worried that if the gold jewelry was too expensive, Tan Hua would refuse to accept it.

Having Qi Sheng there would help convince her.

”Come on, just come with us.”

Tan Hua winked at Qi Sheng, too. She had the same idea.

”Alright, I’m no match for the two of you.”

Qi Sheng went back to his room to change, then drove Zhu Min and Tan Hua in the A8, heading straight for the department store.

When it came to buying gold, traditional brands like Chow Tai Fook were the most reliable.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, plenty of people were out buying gold.

This was also typically the peak season for matchmaking and engagements.

If the price was right, it wouldn’t take long to move on to marriage discussions.

Seeing the group—what looked like a young couple and the mother-in-law—the Chow Tai Fook salesclerk, of course, gave an especially enthusiastic sales pitch.

Qi Sheng stayed out of it, letting Zhu Min and Tan Hua take the lead.

”Pick out the best-looking gold jewelry set in the store for our daughter. Price is no object.”

With the million Qi Sheng had given her, Zhu Min’s tone was exceptionally confident.

”Of course. Please wait a moment.”

The saleswoman’s eyes lit up. She knew instantly this sale was in the bag.

A moment later, the saleswoman returned with a red jewelry box.

Inside, several exquisite pieces of gold jewelry were arranged on a black velvet lining.

”Ma’am, please take a look at our wedding collection. It includes a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, earrings, and a pendant.”

”It’s perfect for your daughter-in-law and son to wear for their future wedding photos and at the ceremony itself.”

As Zhu Min looked at each exquisite gold piece, her eyes glittered with fascination.

Women can never resist gold.

She thought back to her own wedding to Qi Zhizhong; they certainly couldn’t afford such things back then.

”What’s the total?”

Zhu Min didn’t overthink it. As long as it was within her budget, she would buy it on the spot.

”These five pieces weigh a total of 105 grams. Based on the current price of gold plus the craftsmanship fee, your total is 36,750.”

”I’ll pay by card.”

Zhu Min breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought it would cost hundreds of thousands, but it was only in the tens of thousands.

”Of course. One moment, please.”

The saleswoman cheerfully went to get the POS machine. ’No wonder their daughter-in-law is so beautiful,’ she thought. ’If she had a mother-in-law this generous, she’d be dying to marry into the family, too.’

”Auntie, I’d like to give you a gift, too.”

While the saleswoman was making her pitch, Tan Hua’s gaze had been wandering over the other gold jewelry.

In the end, her eyes settled on a solid gold ”Fortune” bracelet.

”Oh, you sweet child. I appreciate the thought.”

Zhu Min smiled and waved her hands, unwilling to let Tan Hua spend money on her.

”Ahem... Mom, since Huahua wants to, you should just accept it.”

Qi Sheng saw Tan Hua signaling to him. After a brief negotiation carried out through glances, he was satisfied and began to help his girlfriend with the persuasion.

”But I really don’t need anything. Let’s not waste the money.”

Zhu Min also realized that anything Tan Hua wanted to buy her would surely cost tens of thousands.

”Here, I just transferred another five million to you. You and Dad can keep it for spending money. If anyone tries to sell you on financial products or anything like that, don’t buy them.”

”How much?”

Zhu Min thought she must have misheard.

But a sudden text message notification on her phone made it glaringly clear.

Qi Sheng had actually transferred another five million to her.

In a small, fourth-tier city like Qi City, five million in savings was more than enough to quit the rat race and live a life of blissful leisure.

”You have over five million now. Are you really going to fret over a bracelet from your daughter-in-law that costs a few tens of thousands?”

Qi Sheng smiled, put his phone back in his pocket, and gave his mom a moment to process her excitement.
