Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 523: Laying Foundations for the Future



Even after coming out of the secret room, the girls hadn't quite recovered from the shock. It was indeed mind-boggling. Logically speaking, Zhou Yuwen now had a fortune worth over ten billion, but that amount was intangible, whereas the gold and silver seen in the secret room provided a more tangible impact.

Four gold chests, each weighing at least 500 kg. Four chests, totaling two tons. With the current gold price at 400 yuan per gram, it's worth a whole eight billion. And that's just the price of the gold; inside, there were also many gold and silver jewels and precious ornaments, which Zhou Yuwen had just checked. Those were aged and had historical properties, truly deserving to be called priceless treasures.

To be honest, Zhou Yuwen was also quite astonished to discover such a treasure room. If the money inside were converted to currency, it would certainly exceed Zhou Yuwen's current net worth. However, Zhou Yuwen understood that net worth and currency are merely illusions; gold is the real family heirloom. When it rises to 680 yuan per gram one day, he could earn a lot even by lying down.

After coming out, Zhou Yuwen told the women not to talk about this matter everywhere. From now on, this secret room is our family's secret. In the future, it will be passed down to our sons and daughters. The castle definitely needs to be renovated, and we can specially hire a domestic construction team, watching a bit during renovation.

"Lu Wanting, I leave this matter to you. Find trustworthy people to oversee it."

Lu Wanting nodded solemnly and said, "Leave this matter to me."

These women were not greedy for wealth, mainly because they were still young, and secondly, they didn't lack money by Zhou Yuwen's side. Besides, Zhou Yuwen had said that these properties were to be passed down. After all, once they have sons and daughters, they will surely get a share.

Zheng Yanyan suddenly realized and quickly said, "Then, hubby, I discovered this secret room; do I have some credit?"

Zhou Yuwen nodded and said, "You're the one with the most credit. When the time comes, let Shen Yu accompany you to the city and buy you a Burberry limited edition. How about that?"

"Yay! Hubby, you're awesome." Zheng Yanyan immediately became happy. A Burberry limited edition costs at least three hundred thousand. They had no concept of the value of the gold in the secret room, but the three hundred thousand yuan was real money.

Zhou Yuwen told the women to go to the city together when they had time, and each could buy a limited edition handbag. They could also choose something else as a reward from him.

"Don't spread this matter outside, not even to Tiantian and the others, for now," Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment and specifically instructed Zheng Yanyan.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanyan became serious. This meant that their small team seemed closer to Zhou Yuwen than Tao Tian and the others.

At this moment, Lu Lin asked, "What about Su Qing?"

This did stump Zhou Yuwen a bit. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll handle things over with Su Qing."

So, things were decided this way. Their estate was still under construction, so they were temporarily staying at Heather's place. At dinner, Heather noticed that they suddenly became silent and asked, "Is there something wrong with the food?"

Zhou Yuwen said no.

"Perhaps it's because we've been away from home for too long and started missing home."

Heather heard this and smiled, then asked, "What is your country like?"

The girls clearly had something on their minds, appearing absent-minded, so Zhou Yuwen chatted with Heather.

Time flew, and it was soon the end of January, time for Zhou Yuwen to return home. So much had happened during his time in the United States, including unexpectedly discovering this fortune in gold. Zhou Yuwen had no viable way of managing it, so he could only let Lu Wanting find people to keep an eye on it there.

Before returning home, Zhou Yuwen told Su Qing about this matter and, while no one was around, specially took Su Qing to the secret room again. This time, Zhou Yuwen took Gold Brick from the chest and shook it; each one was heavy.

Su Qing was also quite astonished, the first thought being to ask Zhou Yuwen how they could transport this much gold back.

Zhou Yuwen laughed upon hearing this and said, "Are you crazy? Transport it back?"

"This is our home. Isn't it good to stay here?" Zhou Yuwen said.

"Huh?"

Su Qing couldn't react for a moment because, in her mind, she was studying abroad and would certainly return someday. But listening to Zhou Yuwen, it seemed he wasn't planning to return?

Zhou Yuwen said that he wasn't planning to never return, but that he had already bought the estate, which was their land. Their descendants would grow up here, and this gold was theirs, right?

Su Qing seemed to understand Zhou Yuwen's thoughts, but couldn't shake the feeling of strangeness. However, since Zhou Yuwen was the head of the family, whatever he said, they would do.

Zhou Yuwen made some arrangements for Su Qing, such as during the time he's back home, letting Su Qing take good care of here. After returning home, Zhou Yuwen would organize others to come over.

Su Qing immediately indicated that she and Wanting know how to manage things on this side.

Initially, when Zhou Yuwen was returning home, he considered taking some small items from the secret room back to consult professionals about their value but ultimately decided against it. Instead, he thought it better to directly have Lu Wanting cultivate connections and auction them in Europe to see their worth.
