"I'm more knowledgeable than Mayor Taylor regarding rural enterprises!" Although Samuel Walker also had doubts, the impact Evan gave was really too great. He was an excellent judge of character, yet now was completely stumped by this boy with the constant wicked smile.He picked up where Evan left off, "From what I know, Grain Company is valued around $87 million. Building a factory of the same scale requires minimum $0.1 billion upfront investment!""I'll put in $0.3 billion!" Evan casually declared a shocking amount!What? The villagers instantly erupted in clamor!"$0.3 billion! To start a factory? How much money does Evan have?""$0.3 billion! That's over double Grain Company's scale!""F*ck! Evan is truly amazing! Old Smith sired a good son!"Evan's parents and sister were even more shocked, gaping wordlessly for a long time. Right now, they only had one thought - was this still their Evan Smith from before? Or did someone else take his place after going out for half a year?"Be
Evan did not expect this scene at his family home. He hurriedly pushed through the crowd into the bedroom, grabbed pen and paper, and said: "Write down your names first. You are penciled in for now, not officially registered yet. Registration is in one week. Please wait after writing your name. I have an announcement, then you can leave. It's rare for me to visit home, I want to spend time with my parents!""Fine!"The villagers surged towards Evan like waves at sea, snatching the pen and paper to eagerly write down their names. After they had all finished, Evan announced loudly:"Folks, I was too rushed this trip home and didn't prepare gifts for everyone. I've brought a truckload of cigars and wine. Please take them if you don't mind simple fare." "More gifts for us? Evan, your generosity alone is reason to help advertise your factory!"The villagers poured out noisily, immediately rushing to the truck Evan had indicated. Opening it, cries of surprise erupted from their gaping m
Upon seeing the large set of keys Evan handed over, Father Rivera was instantly stunned, mouth agape, at a loss for words. The riverside mansions in Lumina City were in the richest neighborhood, with conservative estimates starting from $50 million each!Mother was also shocked into stillness. After a short, convulsive gasp, she stood rooted to the ground, unmoving. Bella was even more astonished, staring at the key Evan gave her. Her face turned pale bloodless, as if her heart had momentarily stopped!After a long while, the family gradually caught their breath again. Father shook his head and said, "Evan, you worked very hard alone overseas to earn this money. Since we already have a house, why don't you return those mansions?""Yes! Bro, earning money abroad must have been extremely tough for you. We already have a house, there's no need to buy mansions. You really don't need to spend this money!" Bella's brows were also knitted tightly.At that moment, Evan's heart swelled with
"Then let's move the furniture from the truck into the house!" Evan said with a smile.When his parents and sister went out the door and opened the truck, they trembled again, shocked by Evan's extravagance once more. "This, this can't be the most luxurious furniture in Lumina City, can it?" "..." Evan."I guess it's the most luxurious stuff available. I really couldn't buy anything more expensive."With just the four of them, they definitely couldn't move such lavish furniture. Luckily, Rivera Smith was hugely popular in the village. He quickly called over 50 nearby villagers, who were willing to help. Evan's prior generosity with the cigars and wine, as well as the promise of jobs, also motivated them.With the help of the 50 villagers, it took nearly 4 hours to move everything from the trucks into the house. Once all the furniture was in place, the modest little home was instantly transformed - Ornate carvings, European wallpaper, plush wool carpets, exquisite marble dining ta
After Evan was lectured by Bella for half an hour, his parents finally brought the piping hot dishes to the table."Wow, smells so good! Finally time to eat!" Bella immediately discarded Evan and happily went to help set the tableware."..."Evan wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Finally free!"The family joyfully ate a warm dinner together. The hot food, tea time chats afterwards created a cozy familial warmth, like the sun on a winter's day, warming Evan's heart."Mom and Dad, control your son! He's eaten over half the pork ribs himself, and he's still going at it so messily!" Watching Evan wolfing down food beside her, Bella's cute face was full of disgust. "Mom's cooking is just too delicious!"Evan was completely unaffected by Bella, instead eating with increasing happiness. As he continuously shoveled ribs into his mouth, he spoke unclearly, "These ribs today are the most delicious food I've had all year, no doubt about it!""You two eat slower, no one's going to snatch it fr
"Don't know." His parents were completely confused."Yeah, Bro, you didn't say earlier so I forgot too. Why did they call you Dr. Smith?" Bella was also curious now."Hehe, knew you all would forget about it. You were all distracted by the money I earned! Money's all this family looks at!"Evan chuckled and spun his lies without batting an eye, "Actually, when I first went to college last year, I met an old grandpa. He taught me a set of medical techniques that can cure all illnesses. I learned from him for a whole year. Those big shots called me Dr. Smith because I've treated illnesses for them before!""I see, so that's why!" His parents realized in sudden revelation. Their pride for Evan swelled up again. So he even knew medical techniques, truly amazing!"Pfft, knowing medical techniques, what's so great about that!" Seeing her parents' expressions, jealousy arose in Bella. Pouting her cherry lips, she said, "So what if you know medical techniques. Hmph, none of us are sick anywa
"Haha!"Evan laughed loudly. "Now you want to ask me? Weren't you disbelieving earlier? Hehe, let me tell you, no use! You go wait in the corner. I'm busy now. After I finish Dad, we can sit down for a nice chat!""Hmph!" Bella puffed her lips!Thus, in the harmonious family atmosphere, Evan took turns completing the rejuvenation technique for his mother, father, and sister.And when the three of them came out after showering, the house was filled with continuous shock and screams!Bella was already young and beautiful, known as one of the Four Campus Flowers of Elysia Film and Television University. Now with her inner impurities expelled, she was stunning - taut glowing skin, fair and smooth, ample moisture, simply amazing!If beauty could be scored, at most she was 95 before. But now, she completely exceeded 98!"Bella is becoming more and more beautiful!" Even Evan's parents couldn't help praising repeatedly. If Bella had changed this much, there was no need to mention Hannah and
Feeling awful about bringing this calamity onto Tiktoc, Ava closed her stream there too after less than 10 minutes. But soon the platform operators called her, pleading for her to resume streaming - they were unafraid of YouClub and would fight against such injustice even if it bankrupted them!"I see, I'll handle it," Evan said simply and hung up.On the other end, Ava was baffled. Handle it? How?At the same time, Evan's assurance "I'll handle it" delighted her. He still cares about me, even coming to my stream and calling me about the ban - he must have some feelings for me!"Bro, how do you plan to handle this?" Bella knew the Evan today was no ordinary man, not after the immense impact he brought by coming home."Haven't figured it out yet," Evan walked back to his room, saying over his shoulder, "Sleep first, it's very late. We'll talk tomorrow.""..." Bella.Back in his room, Evan downloaded Tiktoc on his phone.As soon as he opened it, a huge pop-up ad blared: "Tiktoc livestre
