FSC [QT] Chapter 59.1

The Wan family was a late-rising family. Wan Xiaokang’s father went into business in the 1980s and took advantage of the reform to accumulate a huge fortune. In the early 1990s, the Wan family was far from being as wealthy as it is now.

When Wan Xiaokang was still in his mother’s belly, his father used the money he earned from business to buy the family’s first commercial house.

At that time, the housing prices in Ning City were not high, and the newly built commercial houses were only more than 600 yuan per square meter.

However, with an average annual income of one or two thousand yuan per person at that time, being able to take out a loan to buy a commercial house was already a very good condition.

Wan’s father didn’t have much ambition. He just wanted to equip this commercial house with a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a large color TV before his son was born.

After all, all the money he had was already used to buy the house, and it was very difficult to get all these home appliances.

When his son was born, Wan’s father happened to see the leader on TV saying that modern society should achieve a well-off state, which happened to be the life model that Wan’s father yearned for.

Without thinking, he simply named his son Wan Xiaokang¹小康, xiǎo​kāng: moderately affluent / well-off / a period of peace and prosperity. .

Since the birth of his son, Wan’s father’s business had been unstoppable.

Not to mention being well-off, in the year when Wan Xiaokang was weaned, Wan’s father directly became a millionaire. At that time, it was extremely rare to become a millionaire.

Now the Wan family was even more far away from just being well-off. With luxury manors and private jets, the name Wan Xiaokang had long been unworthy of its name.

Perhaps because his goal was not high in the past, Wan’s father did not have too many requirements for his son Wan Xiaokang. Anyway, the family had accumulated enough wealth.

As long as his son did not commit crimes, did not betray his parents, and lived a happy life, that would be fine.

As for learning, Wan’s father did not care about it at all.

He himself was a semi-illiterate who did not graduate from junior high school. It could be seen that academic qualifications were not the only criterion for measuring ability.

Moreover, the universal value of academic qualifications was for a better future.

Wan Xiaokang’s birth had already stood at the end of others. His life was good enough, so he did not need to study to add to it.

Of course, all this was based on Wan Xiaokang’s self-consolation that he was unwilling to study.

If his baby son was willing to work hard and study well, the Wan couple would also be very happy.

For example, now when Wan’s father looked at the whole box of Hengzhong college entrance examination papers that had just been delivered by express delivery, he felt that life was extremely wonderful.

“Xiaokang, you have finally grown up.”

Wan’s father was ready to support his son, but he did not expect his son to buy another box of Sanwu, another box of Huanggang, and now another box of Hengzhong papers, which showed that he was ready to study hard.

When it came to studying, it was never too late to start. It was good to have this intention.

“Hehe.”

Wan Xiaokang sneered a few times. Life was really unbearable like this.

He held the box of Hengzhong papers and returned to his room under the extremely gratified eyes of his parents. Then, he kicked the box of examination papers under the bed as it was an eyesore to keep it company with the other two boxes.

After he could no longer see it, he took out his mobile phone and called his brother Xu Changfeng.

“It’s crazy. Did you receive the Hengzhong papers?”

Wan Xiaokang felt that He Zhan would definitely not think of only him when it came to such a ‘good thing’.

“I got it. It’s absolutely insane. You don’t know. When the aunt brought this box of test papers to our family dinner today, the whole family was shocked, especially the people from my Eldest and Second Uncle’s families. Their expressions began to twist.”

Xu Changfeng’s family background was much more complicated than Wan Xiaokang’s.

The Xu family was a family with a political background. Old Mr. Xu followed the second-in-command to build the empire in his early years. Although he had retired in recent years, he was still very influential.

Old Mr. Xu had three sons and four daughters. These seven children were from three wives.

Among them, Xu Changfeng’s father was the youngest. He was the late-born son of Old Mr. Xu when he was 48 years old.

The eldest brother and the two oldest sisters were from the original wife of Old Mr. Xu. The second brother and the other two sisters were from the second wife of Old Mr. Xu.

Only Xu Changfeng’s father had no brothers and sisters from the same mother at home. He just occupied the word ‘youngest’ and was favored by Old Mr. Xu.

There were always many conflicts in big families. The descendants were all eyeing the connections in the hands of Old Mr. Xu. What’s more, these brothers and sisters were from different mothers, so there was even more intrigue.

Xu Changfeng’s father didn’t want to compete with his two brothers for the political resources in the hands of the old man. He just borrowed the light of his background to start a business.

In the early years, his two brothers looked down on him because doing business was not a glorious thing, especially for the second generation with a red background like them.

But, things have been different in recent years.
