15th.
Junting Grand Court was a luxurious villa district in the Pudong District.
There were only 21 villas planned in this district, with an average area of five acres. These high-end villas were designed by Ge Qiaozhi, a master of western architectural culture. They were known as the milestones of Shang Hai's luxury houses.
Among the available properties, a single villa with an area of 13001400 square meters had a unit price of up to $110,000 per square meter.
Chen Jin had his eyes on villa number 8 in this district. It was the largest of all the villas. The building itself had a garden of 2000 square meters, with a total area of 3500 square meters.
As for the price, it was 320 million after the discount!
And because it was a one-time payment, it enjoyed a 95% discount.
The actual purchase price was 304 million.
Chen Jin went to the company's finance department, took out this sum of money, and bought villa number 8.
Such a large sum of money immediately caused a sensation in the real estate circle. It appeared on some real estate news, and attracted the attention of some financial media.
The news of "The boss of Xing Hai Technologies splurged $300 million to buy a Junting villa" spread like wildfire, causing a heated discussion within a small circle.
20th.
"Chen Jin" packed a batch of luggage and loaded it into four luxury cars worth tens of millions (also bought by the company's finance department). He went from the Happiness Court district to Junting Grand Court and moved into villa number 8.
A young and mysterious tech mogul, without a beautiful woman by his side, lived a life of luxury cars and luxurious mansions.
It made people infinitely fascinated and envious.
But no one would have thought that the real tech mogul was living in an ordinary, high-end residential district.
And in order to conceal his identity, he had to make certain sacrifices.
For example, he had to be low-key in his dressing. He tried to wear clothes that cost more than $100. He could no longer wear high-end brands.
His hairstyle was cut a lot shorter, and he had a crew cut. He had become an ordinary person with a crew cut.
He wore a pair of square glasses, and his ordinary value was + 2.
In addition, the Base of Operations could produce a "micro-plastic mask." After applying it on the face, it could produce a micro-plastic effect. The mask was only the size of a band-aid. It was pure transparent, and the effect could last for a day. There was no need for surgery on the face. It would be the first choice of cosmetics for women in the future.
Chen Jin applied a total of three masks on three parts of his face. In the future, whenever he went out, he would have to apply a plastic mask.
After making all these adjustments, he, who was originally somewhat handsome, was now thrown onto the streets. He was probably a character that people with face blindness would ignore at a glance.
The biggest sacrifice that Chen Jin had to make was actually his parents. He had to give them an explanation and smooth things over.
He couldn't just say that he had a substitute. It would definitely scare his parents.
After some thought, he said,
"Dad, Mom, I bought a villa at Junting Grand Court. I might go there occasionally to stay."
"If I don't stay at home, I'll send you a message. Mom, you don't have to cook for me."
"But most of the time, I'll still stay in Room 302 downstairs. As for the villa, I might not even stay there once or twice a week."
"I didn't buy a villa to separate from you. I'm afraid that when your son becomes rich and famous, paparazzi, fans, and kidnappers will target me. It's safer to live in the villa. I've also hired a few security guards to prevent people from disturbing our daily lives."
Chen Jin explained.
Speaking of which, why didn't he bring his parents to stay in Junting Grand Court?
Chen Jin had invited them, but his parents were unwilling to go. They had jobs, and Junting Grand Court was far away. It was very inconvenient for them to commute to work. At most, they would go there on the weekends to relax.
Even if his parents had retired or quit their jobs, they would still prefer to live in the Court of Happiness compared to a villa with few neighbors. After all, they had lived there for almost 10 years.
Hearing his words, He Li nodded.
"The media said that your net worth is over 10 billion dollars. You will definitely enter the list of the top 100 richest people in the country this year. You really have to be careful. Most of the rich live in villas. It's not to flaunt their wealth, it's also for safety. Mom understands."
Although she said that, for some reason, He Li felt a surge of sadness in her heart. Her son's wings had grown and hardened. It was really possible that he would fly away and leave her side.
Chen Gang also said, "You should move over. The apartment downstairs is still yours. When you have time, go home more often. Come back to see your mom more often. Also, the outside world is full of temptations and traps! You must control yourself. Call us more often if anything happens. "
Chen Gang thought that after his son moved to the villa, he wouldn't come home often. Coming home twice a week would be considered filial.
After hearing her husband's words, He Li suddenly started sobbing. The outside world was so exciting. Without her restraints, would her son come back often? Could he even come back twice a week?
This was a big question mark.
"Mom, don't be sad. I promise you that I'll stay at home most of the time. At most, I'll stay in the villa occasionally."
Chen Jin coaxed her for a while and promised repeatedly. Only then did his mom's tears stop, but she was still very disappointed and sad.
In the next two weeks, Chen Jin used his actions to prove that he kept his word.
For a total of 14 days.
He stayed in apartment 302 downstairs for 10 days. He went upstairs to eat almost every day.
He went to the big villa in Junting Courtyard for three days. (Actually, it was to let his body double make public appearances. He went to the Base of Operations.)
On another day, Chen Jin brought his parents to the big villa to spend a day and a night, enjoying the life of a rich person. (This time, it was Chen Jin's real body. It was his first time staying in a luxurious villa. He hid his body double.)
In this way, the operation was a little more complicated, but the safety of his real body was greatly improved.
His parents were also satisfied. His mother was especially satisfied. She sighed with emotion that she had not doted on her son for nothing.
Furthermore, his parents were extremely shocked by his crew cut hairstyle, his hundred-dollar clothes, his square-shaped glasses, and his "magical tape," which made him look so ordinary that people would forget him at a glance.
As his biological mother, He Li said, "Son, to be honest, I almost didn't recognize you as my son. I thought you were someone else."
"Other than the same height, you're practically two different people!"
Chen Gang felt the scene in front of him blur. It was as if a split had occurred. He made a bold assumption in his heart. If his son did not start his own business and stayed at home like before, eating and waiting to die, his son would probably look like this in a few years.
He smiled helplessly and sighed at the impermanence of the world. When his son was useless, he was very worried. He was afraid that he would become poor and miserable in the future. He might even end up on the streets and be worse than a beggar.
He did not expect that his son would be useful. His business was successful and he became a billionaire. Instead of becoming glamorous, he had a "poor look".
Funny.
It was really too funny.
Chen Jin chuckled. "Dad, Mom, if your son was a little more ordinary, do you think I would have the chance to be by your side so often in the future? Would I still have the chance to be filial to you? "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
He Li seemed to have woken up from a dream. She hugged her son and leaned her head on him. "Son, what you said makes too much sense! Your career is very important, but I still hope that you can be by my side more often. "
Chen Gang seemed to have realized something. He felt that his high expectations of his son in the past and his harsh criticism were actually a manifestation of his excessive anxiety and stubbornness.
Now that he thought about it, sometimes being ordinary might not be a bad thing.
