Chapter: 4483

The old master couldn't help asking: "You planned to retire next year, so how did you retire now?"

Li Ah Lin uncomfortably shrugged his shoulders: "Uncle An, this is a long story..."

Upon hearing Li Ah Lin's words, Old Master An opened his mouth and said: "No need to worry about it; just talk slowly over lunch."

Old Master An had just returned from the underworld and had serious memory problems, so he knew nothing about what was happening in America right now.

However, he had a deep understanding of Li Ah Lin's stubborn character, knowing that he would never give up under any circumstances.

Li Ah Lin knew it was impossible to explain clearly with Old Master An's three sentences, so he muttered something vague and said: "Alright, Uncle An, I won't bother you with my trivial matters. How about we have a couple of cups together later?"

Old Lady hurriedly said: "Ah Lin, you can't let Uncle An drink, or else his brain might get worse and even I wouldn't recognize him!"

"Yes, yes... Ah Lin came to his senses quickly and said: "It's my fault, my fault. I didn't think it through."

Old Master An chuckled and said: "I see your young face is so dejected, so I know you definitely want to drink already."

As he spoke, he turned to An Chong Qiu and An Kai Feng and said: "Chong Qiu, Kai Feng, why don't you two accompany Ah Lin in drinking a little while? I won't drink then."

The two brothers nodded slightly: "Alright, Dad."

Old Master An looked at Li Ah Lin's difficult-to-conceal dejection and pretended to be serious and said: "Ah Lin! Shape up! Look at yourself now. You're not even a fraction of your old father's bravery!"

Li Ah Lin hastily straightened his body and respectfully said: "Uncle An is criticizing me..."

An Chong Qiu looked at the time then and said: "Dad, how about we eat first? We can chat while eating later."

"Alright." Old Master An nodded slightly: "Let's eat first."

Master An's mansion on the top floor has an area of over 4,000 square meters. Normally, it could accommodate hundreds of people working here, but initially, this whole floor was used by Old Master An alone.

In addition to the office and conference room, this floor also has a swimming pool, gym, spa, and dining hall, among other life facilities.

To be honest, Old Master An didn't intend to use such a large area as his own working space back then. However, his eldest daughter An Cheng Qiu had already reserved this floor for him when she was planning the building, and she personally decorated it according to his preferences. So, Old Master An has a deep emotional attachment to this place.

Later, everyone moved to the southern cafeteria on the top floor, where Li Ah Lin, although he's familiar with the An family, still felt astonished by how new everything looked.

He couldn't help but whisper to An Chong Qiu: "Chong Qiu, your family's building has been in use for at least 20-30 years. How does it still look so new?"

An Chong Qiu whispered back: "Our family has a strong financial foundation, so the entire building is well-maintained. In general, we need to renovate every two to three years, and this floor is even maintained daily by someone on duty. Since my sister passed away, Old Master An has issued an order that nothing in here can be changed, so everything you see here has at least a few sets of brand new backup materials, some of which have been discontinued but are still kept as reserves."

As he spoke, An Chong Qiu pointed to the carpet on the corridor and continued: "The carpet under your feet was hand-woven by Iranian artisans. It's similar to the one used in the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque. The cost per square meter is almost $10,000. Back then, Old Master An had over 100 artisans from Iran come over to replicate my sister's original design and create dozens of sets, with a new one every year."

Li Ah Lin listened in shock, unable to help but say: "Your family doesn't treat money like it's valuable at all... $10,000 per square meter of carpet, replaced every year... This is just throwing away money, don't you care?"

An Chong Qiu said seriously: "Old Li, when it comes to money, only look at the amount, not the proportion. That's being shameless."

Li Ah Lin asked in surprise: "What do you mean?" JrNovels.com
