Chapter 2127: Chapter 2129: Qi Fang’s Swagger

Young people nowadays—any who are independent and have their own opinions—basically don’t want to live with their parents. They’d rather carve out a little world of their own. Qi Fang is the same: from a young age he was already living on his own, and the Qi family’s finances easily allowed him to have his own place.

Later, when he came of age, he founded his own company. Relying on the network of contacts his parents’ generation had built, plus the connections he himself made while studying all over the place, he ran things well, shrewd in strategy and business. Money flowed in from all sides, his personal net worth long since passed the hundred?million mark, and his residence changed from one luxury place to another.

Right now, he lives in Guangcheng’s most prosperous, dazzling district, the Wangjiang High-rise, where everywhere his gaze falls is an unbeatable first?tier river view. The view is magnificent—truly "lonely at the top."

As usual, Qi Fang turned down unnecessary social engagements and came home.

This residence of his is a mansion among mansions, a single household on its own floor; and the floor he occupies is the very top of the whole building. Step out of the elevator and you’re at his front door.

Access to the elevator is controlled by computer facial recognition—real high tech. If anyone tries to force their way in, the alarm system is triggered immediately.

So unless Qi Fang himself authorizes it and personally brings someone up, no one but him can get in here—not even his parents. The security level is top?notch.

It’s not that Qi Fang is on bad terms with his parents and therefore they can’t visit. On the contrary, the way the three of them get along is very harmonious: mutual respect and care, without meddling in each other’s lives. So Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo basically never drop in on his private territory out of the blue; if they want to see him, they summon him.

Yes, "summon." Parents, after all, have the built?in advantage of being elders, so of course they should have certain rights.

Since they have those rights, why sneak around, all timid and pleading to go to their son’s place? If there’s something going on, just make a phone call: you, as the son, come over. That’s one of the perks of being parents.

Luckily, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo are open?minded parents, not overbearing people. They don’t arbitrarily summon him when there’s nothing going on. But the family rules were set long ago: on holidays and festivals, he must come back to the main house for meals and family gatherings; if the Qi family runs into trouble, everyone must stand united, acting as one.

Because of this, the Qi family’s cohesion is very strong. Over the years they not only built up their own family businesses, but also gradually rose from being new rich out of a poor family to the status of a great wealthy clan today.

Of course, to become a century?old prestigious family with deep foundations is not something done overnight. It takes several generations of cultivation. So strictly speaking, the Qi family can only be considered a mid?to?upper?class grassroots plutocracy.

But even as a grassroots plutocracy, no one dares look down on them. Not for anything else, but for the Qi family’s network: they have influence north and south, power and money both. Let’s not even start on the elder generation like Qi Taiguo’s; generation after generation, riding on those connections, they either go into the military district or into politics. These are solid old relationships.

So who would dare underestimate the Qi family? People are too busy trying to curry favor.

And among the new generation, Qi Fang—the eldest son long dubbed a "monster talent" since he was a kid—despite being usually quiet and sparing with words, is very dark?bellied inside. No one dares offend him lightly. So the juniors below, whether the Ning Family’s kids, the Cheng family’s children, or the Qi family’s own, can only bow their heads and submit to him.

Ahem, getting sidetracked. To put it in one sentence: Qi Fang is formidable, and inspires genuine confidence. Whether in business or strategy, even the elders hold him in very high regard.

Yet for all that excellence, he is not an obedient child. He’s still single now, leaving all those who want to recruit him as a son?in?law to do nothing but shake their heads and sigh.

And so, as Qi Fang walks into the entryway of his home, decorated in a cool minimalist style, his steps suddenly halt.

Someone’s in the house!
