After the Breakup, He Obtained the Krypton Gold Return Shenhao System

247: Chapter 247 If it’s a contest of physique, I’ll win.”Sun Yingxue, help me bring that piece of acoustic foam over.”

”Coming!”

After the dinner party, most of Zou Luyao’s equipment had arrived, and all the soundproofing materials were ready.

Indoor soundproofing is actually quite simple and falls within the scope of what an individual can install. Zhao Xiaoshuai had intended to find some workers to help install them, but was rejected by Zou Luyao, who cited the desire to experience life.

Indoor soundproofing generally consists of three things.

The first is soundproofing felt, placed at the very bottom; it can effectively reduce the frequency of vibrations in the room or on the floor.

The second is acoustic foam, placed on top of the soundproofing felt. It can effectively absorb mid-to-high frequency sounds and make the indoor audio clearer, which is simply perfect for doing ASMR.

The third is door gap strips, used to effectively block sound coming from window and door gaps.

The two girls were working in full swing, and because it was such a novel experience, they were both having a lot of fun.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was helping on the side, looked at these soundproofing materials and rubbed his chin. ’This stuff has clever uses too. I’ve already imagined a dozen ways to play with it in my mind.’

Zhao Xiaoshuai, who was lost in his wild imagination, was pushed out of the door by the ”landlady” not long after. ”Alright, alright, we’re done. We need to change clothes. It’s so late, you should hurry back and sleep.”

”This is truly killing the donkey the moment it leaves the millstone. I’ve been doing hard labor for so long, don’t I get any reward?”

”Reward? What kind of reward do you want?”

Zhao Xiaoshuai stretched his face forward. ”A kiss.”

Zou Luyao glanced guiltily at her best friend inside the room; she didn’t seem to be looking their way.

She quickly intended to give a light peck to get it over with, but Zhao Xiaoshuai was harboring bad intentions, so how could he let her off so easily?

He seized the opportunity, turned his head slightly, and precisely caught the little cherry that had thrown itself into his trap.

”Hey, you’re annoying!” Zou Luyao slammed the door shut.

”Yaoyao, what’s wrong? What’s annoying?”

”No, nothing. Sun Yingxue, I’ve drawn the hot water. You wash first, I’ll tidy up a bit more.”

Sun Yingxue pulled her back. ”Oh, why divide who goes first and who goes second? I’ve checked, the bathroom here is quite large, let’s wash together.”

”Alright then.”

Sun Yingxue still hadn’t completely extinguished her desire to compete with Zou Luyao.

’I’m slightly inferior in terms of face, but the excellent figure I’ve worked so hard to maintain for so many years will definitely help me win back a round!’

...

...

Zhao Xiaoshuai, who had been kicked out of the door, happened to receive a call from his mother.

”Mom, what’s up?”

”Son, your second uncle’s son, that’s your Brother Hu, is getting married next Sunday. We have to give a gift, right? Your dad insisted I ask for your opinion. If you ask me, 500 is the ceiling.”

”Dad can make the call on these things, but if you’re asking me, let’s go with the highest amount within the bounds of etiquette.”

In Zhao Xiaoshuai’s impression, although there were many relatives, no one had really helped his family, and he didn’t have any grand ambition of ’when one person gets to the top, all his friends and family get promoted,’ so he just followed the etiquette.

But they were related by blood after all, and he didn’t care about this small amount of money at all anymore, so he chose the highest tier.

”I see you, you’ve started to get cocky just because you’ve earned a little money. You’re talking about the highest tier right off the bat.”

”Mom, that’s all small change, it doesn’t matter. By the way, are you both at home recently? I have something I need to go home and talk about.”

”We are. You won’t let us do those odd jobs anymore, so now your dad and I are bored at home every day. Son, what is it that can’t be said over the phone?”

”It’s nothing major, I’ll talk about it when I get home.”

”Alright then. It’s getting late, you should go to sleep early too, and don’t work too hard.”

”I know, I know. Alright, Mom, I’m hanging up.”

Zhao Xiaoshuai had prepared enough; it was time to reveal his status as a billionaire to his parents.

For this, he had made many preparations. For example, his parents had gradually accepted the fact that he had earned a lot of money, they just didn’t have a precise understanding of the specific amount of this so-called ”big money.”

So, revealing it now would be much easier for them to accept than before.

Secondly, the numerous industries he currently held could be explained as businesses he had started in cooperation with others while keeping it hidden from the family, thereby earning a large amount of money.

Although the scale of these industries was far from the wealth a billionaire should have, given his parents’ knowledge, a few million and a few hundred million were about the same; they were both amounts they could never earn in a lifetime, so they wouldn’t have such a clear concept.

Finally, his title as a philanthropic entrepreneur, the banners for his brave deeds, and the Model Citizen medal were all things that could be used to distract them.

With these as endorsements, his parents at least wouldn’t think he had committed crimes like robbing a bank.

And he chose to reveal it at this time, besides wanting to make his parents happy, it was also to hedge for the revelation of another big matter.

He was preparing to bring his other girlfriends home one by one.

He estimated that there would inevitably be a belt-lashing session, but with the rice already cooked into porridge, and two ”trump cards” of pregnant daughters-in-law, he believed he could eventually make his parents compromise.

After all, he had already handled the most critical part—the women themselves—and as for his own parents, it was basically just some issues with their mindset.

As for that, he planned to find more gossip about those big tycoons to back himself up.

Having planned this, he picked up his phone and found Xing Huiqiong’s profile.

”Are you free tomorrow? I’d like to treat you to a meal, and by the way, introduce you to a business opportunity.”

Xing Huiqiong seemed to still be working; she replied quite quickly. ”I just finished dealing with a big headache these past few days, so I happen to be free. The usual place?”

”The usual place.”

”See you tomorrow, then.”

Xing Huiqiong is truly a workaholic. Ever since he decided to start pursuing her, nine out of ten invitations were declined; there was simply no chance for romance.

If it weren’t for the special project of building at Provincial University this time, he probably wouldn’t have been able to ask her out.

It seems the bomb at Hengtian is about to go off. She is trying hard to fix it, but according to the information obtained from the Hao Family, it’s likely that Hengtian will have a hard time surviving this time.

However, that will be the perfect time for him, this ”God-tier Rich Man,” to step in.

Next, there’s the matter of the Jia sisters.

He had made appointments to meet them on the same day. Thinking about a family gathering of four people turning into three...

That actually seems quite interesting.

After that, it would be the settlement plan for each girlfriend. He had already set his sights on 6 detached villas in one of the largest villa areas of Hengtian, ranging from 16 million to 22 million.

The economy hasn’t been good lately, and there are many people listing their houses for sale. He had taken a brief look; they were all high-quality properties with great renovations, and several of them hadn’t even been lived in at all.

By then, the current apartment would be placed under Sun Yingxue’s name as a gathering place for everyone in the city, while he could just shuttle between the various villas in that one large villa area without running around everywhere.

These villas were located a bit further away from the city center, but the surrounding facilities were complete, the environment was quiet, and they weren’t too close or too far from each other, which was very suitable for settling all his women. It really felt like building a harem.

”It’s a pity that Chuncheng doesn’t have those super-large estates, the kind that can form a town.”

The final home he aimed for in the future hadn’t been decided yet. His ideal was to bring his parents over to live with him, so they could live together while still having enough private space.

But the houses currently on sale were all too small; there wasn’t a single one over 1,000 square meters.

In such a big Chuncheng, isn’t there a mansion big enough?
