Paisley, sitting next to him, wore an exaggerated expression of concern, which made Tian roll his eyes in disbelief.
"Mom, tone it down a little. You're overdoing it," Tian whispered, trying to control his laughter.
"What are you talking about? I watched Roman grow up. Now that something like this has happened to him, how could I not feel heartbroken?" Paisley said, trying to feign tears but accidentally letting out a chuckle.
"Mom, you even laughed out loud!" Tian teased.
"Ugh, stop it! Your sister will be here any minute, and Everly Chopin is on her way too. When Everly arrives, make sure to behave. My son must never fall short compared to anyone else!"
"Mom, he's lying in bed. What do you expect me to compete with him on?" Tian responded, still slightly amused.

"Has it really come to this?" Violet asked, worry etched on her face."Sweetheart, if it wasn’t this serious, do you think your Uncle Chopin, who dotes on Roman so much, would have waited so long to come visit him after such a major accident?" Paisley replied.Tian chimed in, "Violet, did you notice anything at Willy’s company that would indicate something’s wrong?""No, Tian, everything at Willy’s company has been going according to plan. In fact, there’s been an increase in small and medium-sized enterprises seeking investment. Willy’s team is becoming even stricter in managing projects. Sometimes, I see projects that initially seem like failures, but after some adjustments by Willy's team, they turn into highly promising opportunities! Willy even mentioned a new project involving a revolutionary transportation system and asked if I wanted to get involved.""A new transportation system? Like green energy?""Exa

"Your father worked until late last night?" Willy asked, concerned."Yes, it’s all because of this virus. The whole world is basically at a standstill, and our family has started operating at a loss," Violet replied with a sigh."I see. But the situation in the country is still manageable, right?" Willy asked, hoping for some optimism."I’m not too sure. I only know that my dad mentioned this skin virus might cause a shake-up among the top families in New York and Washington.""Could it be that serious?""I don’t know. But let's not talk about that now. At the end of the month, I have my graduation ceremony. Will you come to the campus to be with me?" Violet asked, trying to change the subject and lighten the mood."Of course I’ll come! When the love of my life asks, how can I say no?" Willy joked."Stop it! Who said I’d marry you!" Violet blushed, playfully swatting Willy’s arm."Don’t

“What about the Jones Family and the Morgan Family? Any updates?” Willy inquired.“Boss, nothing major for now. But the Morgan Family is in a tough spot too. 80% of their education businesses have been shut down for months, with no revenue. On top of that, several big e-commerce contracts were snatched away by the Chopin Family, so their situation isn’t looking great either,” Logan replied.“Alright, keep an eye on things and let me know if anything else comes up,” Willy said before hanging up.Willy then made his way to the 45th floor to meet with Ava Morgan.“Ava, I’m giving you a budget of 100 billion.

“So, are you coming or not?” Willy asked Tian again, pressing for an answer.“I can probably make it, maybe around 8 p.m.,” Tian finally replied after some hesitation.“Great, it’s settled then. I’ll send a driver to pick you up,” Willy confirmed, smiling to himself.After closing the chat with Tian, Willy eagerly messaged Violet.“Dinner at my place, hot pot tonight at 8. Your brother’s coming too! How about we take a walk after work?” he suggested.“Alright then,” Violet replied.Once work ended, Willy decided to take Violet shopping. After all, he still had 500 million worth of system experience points left to spend.“Violet, come with me to the New York car dealership,” Willy suggested.“Are you buying a car?” she asked, curious.“I want to check some out.

“Hehe, silly girl. I just want to be good to you, but since I never really felt the warmth of a family growing up, I don’t know how to love someone properly. So, all I can do is spend money on you…” Willy hadn’t finished speaking before Violet placed her hand over his mouth and then gently kissed him on the cheek.Willy froze on the spot, feeling a wave of heat wash over his body. He stared at Violet, eyes full of affection.Violet herself was startled by her sudden action, and embarrassed, she ran off, leaving only a brief sentence behind.“I’ll wait for you in the car!”“Hehe, silly girl!”“Mr. Morgan, here’s the contract, the license plate numbers, and everything else. Please take a look,” Michael Martin interrupted, handing Willy the paperwork.“Okay, 1.9 billion in total?”“Yes, Mr. Robinson says the usual—20% off!”“Alright!

That’s my oversight! Currently, floors 20 through 39 are vacant in the Diamond Business Tower. Would those 20 floors work for you?""Boss, we don’t need that much space. Just floors 30 through 39 will be more than enough. Initially, our team in New York won’t be that large.

"Oh, old buddy, with current human technology, it’s just not possible. The asteroid is moving too fast. Our scientists have suggested the idea, but the data shows that it can't be done. A small spacecraft would be shattered if it tried to approach the asteroid directly. If it tries to follow from behind, it just can’t catch up. So, this plan won’t work.""Are you saying that if we could create a spacecraft that matches the asteroid's speed, then we could get close enough to plant explosives and destroy it?" someone asked."That’s one way to put it, but can we actually build something like that?" the representative from Russia asked."Wait a minute! NVMD! Your spacecraft! The one you sent over a while ago to scare us, the one that looks like a flying saucer!""Yes! I saw the video.
