When I returned home during the Chinese New Year, I became the "joke" at the family New Year's Eve dinner table.
Relatives showed off my house, car, and annual salary, and asked me how I was doing.
I sighed and started talking nonsense:
"I just sold some stocks. I didn't get much, just a billion or so."
"That new business district in the east of the city? Oh, the property is in my name."
"I've been too busy recently, so I'm considering building a highway from the village directly to the county seat."
The whole table burst into laughter. Only my cousin, who is in elementary school, bit his chopsticks and his eyes lit up: "Brother, is it true?"
I rubbed his head: "Of course...?"
Before he finished speaking, his phone vibrated crazily——
[Your account with the last number 8888 is credited: 1,000,000,000.00 Yuan]
[The equity change of "Eastern District Commercial Development Group" is confirmed, and you have become the sole holder.
[Urgent call from the County Transportation Bureau: Regarding your proposed "Lijia'ao Direct Expressway" project...]
I held my phone and was dumbfounded.
My cousin shook my arm with admiration on his face: "Brother, you are really the God of Wealth!"
This time, it seems like the game has really gotten bigger.
At the dinner table, the relative who worked at the Transportation Bureau and laughed the loudest also had his cell phone ringing at the same time.
He looked down and his face turned pale. When he looked up at me again, his voice was trembling:
"... Eldest nephew, does the road construction you just mentioned still count?"
