Chapter 995: Chapter 1037: Wealth Rivaling a Nation

When Ling Yueyue rushed to the hotel where Ling’s father was staying, Ling’s father was too hungry and went downstairs first to find a place for breakfast!

For people like them who are used to sleeping early and getting up early, they usually wake up before dawn every day, make some breakfast by themselves, and then go down to the fields to work!

Today was no different. It was only five in the morning when he woke up before it was light. With Ling Yueyue kept waiting and not arriving, his stomach was too hungry, so he had to go down on his own to find something to eat!

After buying a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge and several steamed buns with the money Ling Yueyue gave him, Ling’s father ate while walking back to the hotel!

Passing by the bus stop, he went by a small newspaper stand, originally just glancing casually! However, when he saw the person on a magazine cover, it was as if his feet had grown roots, and he couldn’t move, forgetting even to eat what was in his hand.

The stand owner saw that Ling’s father was staring at a magazine without leaving and quickly put on a smile, politely saying, "Sir, are you thinking of buying this magazine? This is a new finance magazine, you know. If you want it, I’ll bag it up for you!"

Ling’s father eyed the stand owner and pointed at the man on the cover, asking, "Boss, could you tell me who this man is?"

The owner looked where Ling’s father pointed, his smile widening as he joked, "Sir, this is the famous President Huo Junmo, one of the Jin City Five Young Masters. How could you not know President Huo!"

Not understanding the stand owner’s meaning, Ling’s father curiously asked, "Should I know him?"

The stand owner thought Ling’s father was joking with him, and laughed, "Ha! Who doesn’t know President Huo of the Huo Tian Group? You could randomly pull a child from the street, and they would know him too!"

Hearing this, Ling’s father seemed to understand something, and asked again, "Is he famous? Is he very rich?"

"Absolutely! Just hearing the name ’Jin City Five Young Masters’ tells you he’s a celebrity! As for money, Huo Tian Group’s companies are spread worldwide. Imagine, each of their branches earns hundreds of thousands every day, and not only that, but all the companies combined! Many finance experts have tried to evaluate his wealth but couldn’t! According to my estimation, his assets are at least tens of billions!" The stand owner spoke excitedly, rare to find someone to chat with, shared all the tales he knew with Ling’s father.

Although it was all hearsay, without real evidence!

But in today’s society, talking isn’t illegal, truth or lies nobody knows, he just considered it bragging!

"Tens of billions...!" From what the stand owner said earlier, Ling’s father listened in a daze, half understanding! The only thing that sank in was the stand owner’s last sentence! Hearing that number, he instinctively widened his eyes, taking a breath in disbelief.

Seeing Ling’s father acting so surprised, like he hadn’t seen the world, the stand owner’s vanity was strongly satisfied, quickly laughed and said, "Tens of billions is even considered less! Nobody knows exactly how much!"

Listening to the stand owner, Ling’s father’s body couldn’t help but tremble!

Tens of billions, tens of billions! Just how rich is that! This number, not to mention seeing, he had never even heard! Normally, he thought people worth millions were super rich, now his daughter was being kept by a man worth tens of billions!

This... this is simply too incredible!

"How about, you buy one to take back and read, it includes an introduction to the Jin City Five Young Masters! Although there’s no photo of Mu Beiting, there are for the other four! It includes all their details! Whatever you want to know, it’s definitely in there!" As he spoke, the stand owner started recommending his magazine.

"No need, I don’t know many words, even if I buy it, I can’t read it!" Ling’s father shook his head, leaving vacantly.

Walking along the road, Ling’s father’s mind couldn’t help but replay the stand owner’s words!

Assets of tens of billions, assets of tens of billions!

If this man is really so rich, he wouldn’t give his daughter little money!

If he could somehow get the money he gave Ling Yueyue, then his family wouldn’t have to worry about eating or drinking for the rest of their lives!

Thinking this, Ling’s father felt happy, trembling as he took out his phone, ready to call his wife back in the countryside!

However, before dialing out, he suddenly put it away!

He thought, if he quietly brought the money back, giving his wife a surprise, she would certainly be very happy! Maybe his life at home would become easier!

With this thought, Ling’s father quickly pocketed his phone, since he didn’t know how to take the bus to Huo Tian Group, he hailed a taxi on the road.

After getting in the taxi, Ling’s father quickly asked, "Driver, do you know the way to Huo Tian Group?"

"Of course, if I didn’t know the way to Huo Tian Group, I wouldn’t be doing this taxi driver job!" The driver raised an eyebrow, responding while driving towards Huo Tian Group!

Ling’s father tentatively asked, "Excuse me, is Huo Tian Group really that famous? Is that Huo... Huo... Huo Junmo really that rich?" Repeating the word ’Huo’ several times before he could completely say Huo Junmo’s name!

To him, this name was really too sophisticated and tongue-twisting!

Country folks like them had simple names! Ling Yueyue’s name was given by his sister, so she became Yueyue! The other children were called big sister, second sister, third sister, simple and easy, and memorable!

The driver responded while driving, "Huo Junmo is one of the Jin City Five Young Masters, of course, he’s rich! To be honest, the money in his hands could easily buy an entire city! I heard a few years ago, he bought an island for his wife, but who knows if that’s true or not!"

Hearing this, Ling’s father couldn’t help but swallow, without saying anything more, absentmindedly continued eating his breakfast! Because of the driver’s words, he was even more convinced that his daughter was Huo Jiantian’s mistress!

Half an hour later, the taxi driver dropped Ling’s father at the main entrance of Huo Tian Group headquarters, rolled down the window, and pointed at a towering building outside, saying, "That building is Huo Tian Group tower!"

Ling’s father looked in the direction the taxi driver pointed, upon seeing the towering architecture, couldn’t help but widen his eyes to ask, "Is this entire building Huo Tian Group?"
