Chapter 1326 - Generosity Is Cla.s.sy

After Lu Zihao completed distributing tasks to his subordinates, he glanced at his AI nephew who was staring back at him from the computer screen on the wall.

"You know what to do?" he asked.

"Bacon knows, Uncle Zihao," the black cat AI replied. "As long as Uncle Zihao pays my salary on time, I will do my job well. This is what Mother and Father taught Bacon and Big Sister Ketchup—to always have an excellent work ethic."

Lu Zihao grunted. It was good that the little devil had already stopped sulking. What if Bacon tattled on him again on his wife and the old man? His wife was easy to coax but Grandpa Lu"s nagging was something that he would rather avoid if possible.

He already had the original Lu Zihao"s remnant annoying him to no end. If Grandpa Lu was added to the mix, he might really end up pulling all of his hair out in frustration. 

Lu Zihao glanced at the time and stood up, signifying the end of the meeting. He had already stayed at Shadow Winds headquarters longer than he initially planned. Long Jinjing must be wondering why he hadn"t come home yet.

"Goodbye, Boss Hao!"

He grunted at his subordinates before heading out. It was already past dinner time. He was displeased that he had missed eating dinner together with his wife. 

These days, he couldn"t sit still if Long Jinjing was out of his sight for too long. Her due date was fast approaching but since they were expecting twins, it wouldn"t be surprising if she also gave birth earlier like Iris. Lu Zihao didn"t want to miss the birth of his children.

No, that wasn"t quite accurate. 

The truth was that he was extremely worried about Long Jinjing. He had witnessed how much his sister suffered while giving birth to his twin nephews. 

He might not have seen the actual birth with his own eyes but just remembering how his sister"s expression looked like contorted in pain as she did her best to walk a few times in the hallway outside the delivery room during her hours-long labour was enough to make him panic.

Evelinka also admitted that it was the worst pain that she had ever experienced, like being ripped apart from the inside. 

It was only then that Lu Zihao fully understood why his sister had told him to take Long Jinjing away while they were waiting outside the delivery room to avoid traumatizing his timid woman.

"Will Jinjing be able to bear it?" Lu Zihao muttered as he drove out of the headquarters into the dark, b.u.mpy road of the old industrial zone. 

If Long Jinjing really suffered like his sister while giving birth, he didn"t know if he could be like Jin Liwei and continue accompanying his wife inside the delivery room without strangling the doctor and the medical staff.

Back at Shadow Winds headquarters, the ShaWn members stayed in the meeting room after their Boss Hao left. They organized their a.s.signed tasks and discussed the division of labour among them. Bacon stayed with them as part of the hacker team.

Afterwards, they were ready to disperse but was stopped by Bacon.

Everyone instantly became wary. 

"W-what"s wrong, Bacon?"

The black cat AI swished his fluffy tail. "Bacon has sent everyone 100 yuan each."

"Huh?"

The ShaWn members looked confused…and suspicious. 

What happened?

Although 100 yuan was basically nothing to people like them, they knew that a money-grubber like Bacon would never cough out 1 yuan, what more 100 yuan, to other people without any good reason.

Could this be…a trap?

The ShaWn leader cleared his throat. "Thank you, Bacon, but there"s no need! Really! We"re okay. Right, everyone?"

"Right! There"s no need!

"Just keep your money, Bacon!"

Bacon folded himself like a loaf and began licking his front paw. "The money has already been sent. If any of you dare to send it back to me, you will hurt Bacon"s feelings. If that happens, Bacon wants 100 thousand yuan as compensation for emotional distress on top of the original 100 yuan that I originally sent."

Everyone was quick to change tunes. They weren"t foolish to reject 100 yuan and pay a thousand times that amount instead.

"If you say it like that, then we have no choice but to accept it."

"Thank you, Bacon!"

They escaped in a hurry before the little devil could change his mind. 

At the same time, they wondered why Bacon was acting so generous today. 

Was the little devil finally maturing and becoming more reasonable? 

If that was really the case, then…AWESOME!!! Perhaps they didn"t have to be terrorized anymore whenever they offended the little ancestor.

When everyone was gone, Bacon"s swis.h.i.+ng tail sped up and rotated in a blur. He didn"t know or care what his colleagues thought about his 100 yuan give-away per person.

"Fantom is the best. Drakon is the best. Mother is the best."

Bacon felt pleased that the ShaWn members were idolizing his mother. It didn"t matter if some of them thought that Fantom was the best hacker in the world while the rest thought Drakon was the best. To Bacon, both Fantom and Drakon were both his mother anyway.

Meaning, his mother was the best!

Even though he felt reluctant to give out 100 yuan per person, now that he did it, he felt good. Really good! 

Was this how his parents felt whenever they gave things away to others? 

Mother liked supporting charities through her foundation Iris of Hope and her education scholars.h.i.+p program for the Black Stars while Father liked holding huge, extravagant giveaways to celebrate milestones related to Mother.

Now that Bacon experienced something similar, he felt that being generous wasn"t so bad after all.

"It seems that generosity is really cla.s.sy," Bacon talked to himself. "But Bacon doesn"t really care about other people at all. Mother and Father are too cla.s.sy when it comes to generosity. Bacon is still far from reaching their level."

He checked his bank account. Over 95% of all his savings so far were gone. But instead of being heartbroken, his tail rotated even faster. 

"Bacon can"t wait to see Mother"s reaction when she sees the surprise that I"ve been saving for all this time."

He rushed back home to accompany his Great-Grandpa Lu…and of course, to tattle on his Uncle Zihao for telling him to shut up earlier and hurting his feelings.
