"What did he say? Probably didn't trust the words we said at the mall, came to confirm himself. Didn't see you, so he left. Be careful these days."
"Yeah, got it. Thanks, Captain Xu."
"Don't mention it. Alright, you guys go eat. I'll head over there." Captain Xu gestured towards their dining area.
"Yeah."
A week passed in the blink of an eye. During the first few days of the week, that young man came by a few times, but then he stopped coming. And during this week, Ye Chen basically didn't go out, except to the agency to sign a few contracts. During this week, he rented out a villa and three apartments.
One villa was located in Wanyuan Garden, north of South Third Ring Road in Fengtai, with a built-up area of 1,500 square meters. It was a hundred square meters smaller than the one in Dongcheng's Palace Forest Villa, but the price was considerably lower, thirty thousand less per month. Plus, the property fee was only fifteen million a year.
The three apartments rented out were one in Yujing Garden and two in Jinxiu Shanshui.
And the money from these rentals was deposited into the card Ye Chen had just obtained, a Citibank card. He chose a Citibank card because transferring money from a Citibank card to Yu'ebao had no restrictions.
In other words, there were no restrictions; you could transfer as much as you wanted. So, when the money came in, Ye Chen transferred it all into Yu'ebao.
Although Yu'ebao belonged to a monetary fund, and the annualized rate of return had been decreasing lately, with over twenty million in it, he was still making thousands a day!
Because of this, Ye Chen's spending had been increasing these days, costing him several hundred yuan a day.
But he didn't spend this money on himself; instead, he bought some supplements and nutrition online and had them sent directly to his parents.
In fact, he didn't need to send them himself; he just changed the shipping address to his home address, and of course, he left his father's phone number.
After earning money, the first thing to consider was his parents. His parents had suffered a lot for him over the years, so he had to repay them in some way.
Although parents didn't need anything in return from their children, that was because parents didn't need anything. You couldn't use that as an excuse not to repay them.
"Chen Ge, what are you doing?" Ye Chen was looking at massage chairs. He had been planning to buy one for his parents, spent half a day choosing, and had finally decided on the most expensive one with the most functions. He was about to place the order when Zhao Peng walked over.
"Nothing." Ye Chen quickly put his phone in his pocket.
He couldn't let Zhao Peng see it. Otherwise, with his big mouth, the entire security team would probably know by tomorrow.
For other matters, he might help Ye Chen keep it secret, but buying a massage chair for his parents? That was filial piety! How could he not help spread the word?
But they didn't think about it. How much did they make in a month? A good massage chair would cost tens of thousands, equivalent to their annual income.
Having to spend money secretly like this made Ye Chen feel helpless.
And he didn't know what was going on. Before, Ye Chen hardly ever used Alipay, and his Alipay limit had always been five hundred yuan.
But just these days, he suddenly found that his Alipay limit had increased by over thirty thousand.
Remember, he hadn't used it at all! Could it be because there was too much money in Yu'ebao?
As time passed day by day, in the blink of an eye, it was the day before Fatty's wedding. And on the day before Fatty's wedding, Ye Chen's team also ended their night shifts.
After working night shifts continuously for a month, Ye Chen's team also had eight days off.
Ye Chen packed up his things and prepared to leave. But as he was about to leave, he saw the captain and others looking at him.
"Captain, is there something?"
"No, are you going home?"
"Yeah, my brother's getting married, and with this eight-day break, I want to go home and spend some time with my parents."
"Spending time with your parents is good! It's better to be closer to home. Just go when you want to go. It's not easy for us to go home," the captain said with a sigh.
Eight days off, in fact, the captain's team could go home too. Even during Chinese New Year, many people only had this much time off, and they still rushed home.
In short, it was just fear of spending money. That said, it was the captain's fear. As for Wang Yong, Fuzhu, and Zhao Peng, they didn't dare to go home.
Because they were scared of being pressured into marriage. Going home at this time would be like running into the mouth of a gun!
Frankly speaking, Ye Chen couldn't understand them. So what if they were being pressured into marriage? Does that mean you don't go home? Does that mean you don't see your parents?
