Feeling Like a Boss (Thanks to the Big Shot "逝去那些人")

The three of them quickly finished breakfast. By nine in the morning, Su Dagang and Chen Liping had changed into fresh outfits. Su Yang looked at them and grinned, "Nice, looking sharp and beautiful~"

Chen Liping shot him a sidelong glance, "What beauty at our age? We're decades past that."

Su Yang chuckled, "In my eyes, Dad’s the handsomest, and Mom’s the prettiest—even at eighty."

"Heh, since when did you become so smooth with words?" Su Dagang walked to the table, picking up his small crossbody bag with a laugh.

"Just stating facts. Alright, let’s head out~"

"Let’s go."

With that, the three stepped out of their home.

Downstairs, Su Yang pulled out his phone and opened the navigation app. "Hey, Dad, what was the name of that property we talked about yesterday?"

Su Dagang thought for a moment. "Think it was called Junshan Huafu or something."

"Oh, right, right! Let me search it." Su Yang typed in "Junshan Huafu."

The navigation showed a distance of 5.4 kilometers—not too far.

Junshan Huafu was the first property they’d agreed to visit after discussing options the night before. Located in downtown Yangcheng, its price range was considered quite upscale for the area.

Though situated in the city center, the complex was spacious, with quieter units tucked further inside. The amenities were impressive: gardens, a pond, outdoor fitness equipment, and playgrounds for kids. Right outside the gates was a bustling street, surrounded by everything one could need—shopping malls, supermarkets, commercial districts, parks, hospitals, and schools.

Transportation was equally convenient, especially with a subway station barely twenty meters from the entrance, making it a prime "metro-linked" property.

As they chatted, the trio reached the neighborhood exit and spotted a large black SUV parked roadside.

Su Dagang, a car enthusiast, recognized it instantly. Eyes wide, he pointed and asked, "Yang, is that… yours?"

Su Yang nodded with a smile. "Yep, that’s the one."

"Holy—a Cullinan?! Good heavens, I never imagined!"

Chen Liping, confused, asked, "What’s a Cullinan?"

By then, they’d reached the vehicle. Su Dagang swallowed hard and gestured. "This. This is a Cullinan."

"Wait, Yang, wasn’t it a different car last time you visited?"

Su Yang blinked, then laughed. "Oh, I sold that one. Upgraded to this."

"What did you drive before? I didn’t even know," Su Dagang pressed.

"Just an Aston Martin."

"Mar—alright, alright."

"Is it expensive?" Chen Liping eyed the Cullinan cluelessly.

"Not just expensive—extremely. This car alone..."

Su Dagang trailed off as Su Yang shot him a warning look. He caught on quickly; if Chen Liping learned the car cost millions, Su Yang would never hear the end of it.

Clearing his throat, Su Dagang chuckled, "Let’s just say it’s pricey. Around a million or two."

"How much? This thing costs a million?!" Chen Liping circled the car, inspecting it closely.

"Kid, you’ve got to stop splurging the second you have money. Such an expensive car isn’t necessary."

Su Yang opened the door, ushering them into the back seat. "Mom, a car is a man’s calling card. Driving something high-end gives me an edge in business. All the big shots roll in million-dollar rides—if I showed up in a clunker, they’d look down on me. Understand?"

After a pause, Chen Liping nodded. "I suppose you’re right. Fine, I won’t nag. We can’t help much with your career anyway—just don’t go overboard."

Grinning, Su Yang rounded the car and slid into the driver’s seat.

"Mom’s way more reasonable these days."

"Excuse me? When was I ever unreasonable?"

"Uh… never mind~"

Laughing, Su Yang started the engine and headed for Junshan Huafu.

During the ride, Su Dagang marveled at the lavish interior. "Luxury cars are on another level. Sitting here feels worlds apart from my little 100k ride."

"Of course. You get what you pay for," Su Yang replied, hands on the wheel.

Su Dagang beamed. "Kinda feel like a boss now."

"Hah, well, I am a small-time boss. That makes you two the boss’s parents—even cooler, right?"

Su Dagang and Chen Liping exchanged smiles. Sitting in a car they’d once deemed unimaginable, it felt like they’d crossed mountains of hardship.

"Oh, Dad, sell your old car to a dealer in a few days. No point keeping it."

Su Dagang turned with a grin. "Will do. Though, after seven or eight years, I’ll kinda miss it."

"Don’t. Think of it as leaving the tough times behind."

"Yeah, you’re right."

Soon, they arrived at the Junshan Huafu sales center. After parking, they walked toward the entrance.

The moment they stepped inside, a suited salesman hurried over.

"Good morning! Are you here to view properties?"

Su Yang, leading the way, nodded. "Yeah, checking out what you’ve got."

"Wonderful! Please follow me to the lounge. I’ll bring the floor plans and give you an overview."

"Sure." Su Yang agreed, and they settled into the spacious seating area.

Minutes later, the salesman returned with three cups of tea and a stack of floor plans.

He sat across from them, smiling. "How should I address you all?"

"Su Yang."

"Su Dagang."

"Chen Liping."

"Got it! You must be family?"

"That’s right," Su Dagang confirmed after sipping his tea.

"No wonder—this gentleman looks just like you two!"

"And you are?" Su Dagang asked.

"Call me Little Ma."

"Alright."

After some small talk, Little Ma spread the floor plans on the table and began his pitch.

Su Yang examined each layout.

The options ranged from 105 sqm to 185 sqm, with six variants: 105, 123, 131, 145, 170, and 185 sqm.

After reviewing them all, Su Yang favored the 170 and 185 sqm units. Both featured expansive living rooms, large balconies, and well-designed layouts—the 170 being a three-bedroom, two-bath configuration.

The 185-square-meter unit features four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and two bathrooms. There’s also a versatile room that can be customized into two smaller spaces according to personal preference—perfect for a tea room, guest lounge, study, or similar purposes.

Both unit types are more than enough for two people under normal circumstances, and even when hosting relatives or friends during holidays, the space won’t feel cramped, making them quite suitable.

Under Little Ma’s introduction, Su Dagang and Chen Liping leaned toward the 145-square-meter unit.

Su Yang chimed in, "Mom, Dad, I think the 145 is a bit too small. Why not consider the 170 or 185 ones?"

Hearing this, Little Ma immediately sensed that Su Yang was someone with no shortage of funds. Without missing a beat, he smiled faintly and picked up the floor plans for the 170 and 185 units to explain further.

"Uncle, Auntie, Mr. Su makes an excellent point. The 170 and 185 are actually our project’s flagship units, and they come with much greater discounts compared to the others."

Little Ma observed Su Dagang and Chen Liping’s expressions before continuing, "If your budget allows, I highly recommend choosing one of these two units."

"Though the space is larger, the discounts are even more substantial. When you do the math, these two actually offer the best value for money..."
