86 100,000 Yuan Is Probably Less Than the Price of a Single Shirt of Li Yanchenâs
Just a little after nine, the van pulled in front of the villa.
Li Zekai was the first to get out of the car. He saw Auntie Huang, who had returned from her hometown, and ran over to her. âGrandma Huang! You are back! I missed you so much.â
Auntie Huang lifted the child up and looked at him carefully. âJiejie, youâve gotten tanned. But you gained a little weight. I am hoping you have been eating well?â
âGrandma Huang,â Li Zexuan and Li Zexin also got out of the car and greeted her.
âYoung masters! I see you have been well.â After Li Yanchenâs wedding, Auntie Huang went to her hometown to harvest corn. She had just arrived yesterday. It had been a month since she had seen these children. She had missed them very much.
Lin Wan and Li Yanchen were the last to get out of the van. In the original novel, there was only one Auntie Huang who oversaw the maintenance and handled the chores of the family. So, Lin Wan assumed this was that person.
âSir. Madam. Iâll help you with your luggage. Assistant Qin is heating up the breakfast, so please hurry right in.â Auntie Huang let go of the children and walked towards the carriage.
Lin Wan and Li Yanchen greeted her courteously and entered the house.
Seeing Assistant Qin busy heating the food, Li Zekai jumped on him. âUncle Qin.â
Assistant Qin stumbled and almost dropped the child. âAh! Be gentle. I almost fell.â
âYou havenât had breakfast, have you? I bought your favorite food today. Go wash up and then you can eat.â
Assistant Qin stood at the side. âMadam, I didnât know what you would like to eat. So, I brought you a portion according to Mr. Liâs preference. If there is something you really like, you can mention it to me so I can have it ready from next time.â
âIâm fine with anything.â Lin Wan did not like to trouble other people. She wasnât picky about her food, either. She was happy as long as she got to fill her stomach.
Li Yanchen poured a cup of soy milk and took a bun in his hand. He dipped the bun in soy milk as he ate. The man ate with relish, not saying a single word throughout the entire process.
âSteamed bun with soy milk? What immortal eating method is this?â Lin Wan was stunned. There were still people standing near him and yet he could eat so peacefully.
âBreakfast at home is the best! I wonât be picky with food ever again.â Li Zekaiâs mouth was stuffed with egg pancakes.
âYoung master, youâve grown up.â Auntie Huang looked at Li Zekai kindly, occasionally helping him to wipe his chin.
âAuntie, let Jiejie do it himself. You go do your work. Assistant Qin, wait for me in the study.â Sensing the strange look in Lin Wanâs eyes, Li Yanchen told the two of them to go somewhere else.
Only then did Lin Wan begin to munch on the bun with gusto. She savored every bite. The meat buns were divine.
In the afternoon, her stepsons returned to school. Lin Wan thought that she could finally enjoy her time alone. Thankfully, Assistant Qin called Li Yanchen to the office as well.
Finally, she had some alone time. Lin Wan found a testing agency on her GPS. After everyone left, she took a taxi to town. She found a bank nearby to check the original ownerâs account and requested to connect it to mobile banking. This way she wouldnât have to visit the bank every time to check her bank account.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The withdrawal password was on the back of the card. The original owner of her body liked to write the password on the card just like her. When she pushed the bank card in the atm, Lin Wan held her breath. The bank card was inserted into the ATM, Lin Wan held her breath. To be able to have connections with the Li family, the hostâs family background must not have been simple, either. They must have at least eight figures in their savings. An eight figure was something that she had never seen before, let alone have it in her account.
Thinking about how she was about to become a rich woman, Lin Wanâs hands trembled so much that she accidentally entered the wrong number when she entered the password.
She pressed the passcode again. A string of numbers appeared on the screen. âOnes, tens, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand. Thatâs all?â Lin Wanâs finger tapped on the screen, following the numbers one by one, going back and forth several times. â100000?â
After retrieving the card, she sat in the self-service Hall and faced the air conditioner to wake herself up. After about ten minutes, she took the card and tried again. The amount was still 100000 Yuan. Lin Wan dejectedly activated her mobile banking service. She walked out of the bank and sat down on a long bench by the side of the road. She did not believe that the host only had that much money. After Li Yanchen left the house, she rummaged through the hostâs purse and only found this card.
Lin Wan sat on the bench. Her shoulders drooped. In her original world, she had a car and a house. She wondered why her finances were not even as good as that in this world. Lin Wan remembered the marriage contract. It had said that they would live their life independently.
She called a taxi dismally and kept thinking, âOh, Lin Wan. Why did you make the contract with nothing as security? 100,000 yuan is probably less than the price of a single shirt of Li Yanchenâs.â
Before she reached home, she received a message. âYour card ending with 7878 has been credited with 1400000 yuan (transferred from another bank) byâ¦â
âAh!â The woman shrieked. She quickly covered her mouth. After feeling happy for a minute, Lin Wanâs face darkened again. This money was all thanks to her own hard work. This wasnât even enough to pay the fine for breaching the contract if she decided not to join the next episode.
Originally, she had thought that if she could tear those people apart at the class reunion, she wouldnât have to attend the second episode to settle scores with Song Jing. But now, it seemed that she had no choice.
In the meeting room at Chenxinâs headquarters, the managers of each department were holding on to their reports. Including his business trip, Li Yanchen had not returned to the company for almost twenty days. This was especially so during the week of recording the program. He had practically put down all his work.
Secretary Han had made a PowerPoint presentation on this quarterâs work. âChenxin is involved in many industries, such as home appliances, cosmetics, clothing, real estate, etc. Profit growing steadily. On October 1st, the Bai Si Mall in Yun Cityâs rich District will open for business. We want our womenâs clothing to occupy the central position on the second floor, but we have yet to reach an agreement. The other party insists that the central position on the second floor has always been reserved for a well-known international brand, and that they cannot give it to any other brand.â
âThose who are involved in this project , stay back,â said Li Yanchen, sipping his coffee. âOthers, you are dismissed.â
âBai Si is from Family Creation real estate. The CEO of Family Creation, Su Ming Sheng, is in his 60s. Heâs very stubborn. He refused to meet us after finding out that we are a self-made company.â Secretary Han reported his findings. âIf we can get this position, we can compete with Yi Man in the second half of the year.â
Li Yanchen flipped through the documents. âThe selling points, advantages, and price of the product are all included here. Even the after-sales and our post-sales marketing plan are very detailed. This tender is perfect.â
âSu Ming Sheng didnât even look at our proposal. Maybe it was because I visited him. If itâs you, perhaps he will be more accommodating.â
âI have a business trip tomorrow. Give me President Suâs schedule, I think I can make it after the tripâ Li Yanchen looked at his memo.
âThereâs still time. The results will only be announced in August. Iâll go prepare the information.â Secretary Han finally felt at ease because Li Yanchen had agreed to handle the matter involving Mr. Su.
After a three-hour meeting, Li Yanchen felt a headache coming. He turned off the air conditioner in the meeting room, opened the glass window, and looked into the distance. Lin Wan suddenly appeared in his mind. He wondered what she was doing at this time.
