May Day holiday.
A brand new Mercedes-Benz S400 slowly drove into a luxurious villa community in Dushu Lake.
Inside the car, sat Chen Yu and his parents.
At this moment, all three of them were in a good mood.
Since Chen Yu published 10 papers in the journal Nature, he received a 10 million yuan bonus from the school.
Scientific research bonuses are tax-free.
Therefore, during this period.
The Chen family used this money to buy a car and a house.
Regarding the car.
Chen Yu bought a Mercedes-Benz S400 for his father, costing 1.5 million yuan.
Chen Yu bought a Porsche Panamera for his mother, costing 1.5 million yuan.
As for himself, he was relatively low-key.
He only bought a Mercedes-Benz E300L for 500,000 yuan.
Regarding the house.
Chen Yu chose a detached villa near the Dushu Lake campus of Gusu University.
The villa cost 15 million yuan.
Due to insufficient cash on hand.
Chen Yu negotiated with the real estate salesperson and reached an agreement.
He paid 5 million yuan first.
The remaining 10 million yuan would be paid within two months.
In the car.
Chen Yu's mother, Liu Cui, was a little worried and said, "Xiao Yu, we don't have enough cash on hand, there's no need to buy such an expensive house. What if we can't get the money within two months?"
"Mom, don't worry!"
Chen Yu comforted her, "I wrote another 10 medical papers last month and submitted them to Nature.
Once they are officially published, the school will give me another bonus.
I'll use that money to pay the remaining balance, there's no pressure at all."
"That's good!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Cui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She was a high school teacher and was very familiar with educational matters.
As long as students or faculty members published CNS papers, the school would offer generous rewards.
As they talked.
The car arrived in front of a detached villa with a courtyard.
The villa was hidden behind a high wall, with a classical courtyard adorned with lush greenery, making people feel happy.
The wall gate had an intelligent identification system.
After sensing the house key.
The wall gate automatically opened to allow the car to enter.
After getting out of the car, they looked up.
They saw that the villa was a three-story European-style house with a basement, featuring a luxurious and atmospheric frame structure.
The exterior wall was mainly made of stone, along with Roman columns and dormer windows, giving it a sense of grandeur, magnificence, and steadiness.
The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows made the exterior of the villa look very high-end and luxurious.
Chen Yu took out a set of keys and opened the villa door.
As soon as the door opened.
High-end luxury flooded in.
The villa was decorated using the latest luxurious materials.
The floor tiles were paved with imported Maya grey marble, and the central atrium chandelier was decorated with Swarovski crystals.
The living room had a Trussardi TV cabinet and electric fireplace, with various high-end furniture that were dazzling.
The full-length windows provided a sense of transparency, and the interior decoration had a strong sense of texture, making it seem extremely romantic.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Chen's father exclaimed, "This house comes with exquisite interior decoration, we don't need to do any additional decoration or buy furniture.
I never thought that one day, I, old Chen, would be able to live in a villa!"
"You're so lucky!"
Liu Cui rolled her eyes at her husband.
She was also extremely excited.
Ordinary families find it very difficult to support a college student.
And Chen Yu studied medicine, and completed his undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in eight years.
Over the years.
Even though Chen's father and mother were both high school teachers, they faced enormous financial pressure.
After Chen Yu graduated.
He returned to Suzhou and taught at Gusu University.
Suzhou was the most economically powerful prefecture-level city in China, with high housing prices.
Their couple had to prepare a new house, car, wedding banquet, dowry, etc. for their son's future marriage, which made them feel overwhelmed.
Thankfully, Chen Yu was very capable.
He didn't teach for long before achieving remarkable success in scientific research.
With a change in fortune.
Chen's father and mother no longer had any financial pressure!
…
After chatting briefly.
The three of them officially toured this detached villa.
The villa was 16.8 meters wide, 10 meters deep, and 9.9 meters high, with a total of 11 rooms, 4 living rooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 terraces, 2 balconies, and 2 platforms.
The living room had side cabinets, floor-to-ceiling storage walls, Hannover customized cabinets, silk mattresses, extra-long full-stone floor-to-ceiling windows, remote-controlled retractable TVs, HDC smart panels, and other luxurious configurations.
The sofas, tables, and chairs were all top-of-the-line, with high prices.
Concealed walk-in closets, multi-functional living rooms, bay windows, skylights, embedded gilded screens, and incredibly high-end potted plants, everything was available.
The bathroom had a smart toilet, automatic dryer, and a jetted bathtub, among other high-end bathroom equipment.
A study, game room, gym, mahjong room, KTV room, billiards room, piano room, maid's room, elevator room, smart kitchen, and sheltered walkway, etc., overwhelmed them with their splendor.
In the basement of the villa.
A mahjong room, multi-functional wine cellar, and underground garage were all available.
The entire villa was full of ingenious design.
The internal details were handled with elegance like a gentleman and grace like a lady, devoid of any vulgarity.
Curtains, cabinets, kitchenware, tables and chairs, furniture…
Every item, big or small, was elegant in its simplicity, luxurious yet tasteful.
Chen's father said excitedly, "A 15 million yuan villa, it truly lives up to its reputation!"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you can live here from now on. It'll be convenient for you to drive to work.
I'll come back home for dinner after class every day.
And I can record teaching videos and write papers, etc."
Upon hearing this.
Chen's father and mother both nodded.
They weren't being pretentious at all.
Of course they preferred living in a villa rather than their previous ordinary residential area.
Liu Cui asked, "Xiao Yu, you have to teach 20 large classes every week. Can you handle it?"
"It's alright!"
Chen Yu honestly said, "Since I published 10 Nature papers, other teachers have stopped asking me to cover classes for them. They say they are afraid it will affect my research progress.
At this stage, I only need to teach 10 large classes per week.
When I'm not teaching during the day, I write papers. On weekends, I write textbooks.
In the evenings, I've increased the number of videos I record from two to five.
Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I'm not tired at all!"
As he spoke.
Chen's father and mother felt a pang of sympathy.
The reason their son was able to achieve such remarkable achievements in teaching and research was due to his hard work behind the scenes.
…
During the three-day May Day holiday.
Chen Yu's life was very relaxed.
He didn't need to teach students, only recording online course videos every day.
Compared to his previous high-intensity work.
Just recording videos was like taking a vacation for him.
After three days of "vacation."
The fatigue accumulated in Chen Yu's body disappeared.
He was full of energy and his mind was clear.
In this state.
Chen Yu was confident that he could make even greater progress in scientific research!
