It was still the same crowded room.
He took a deep breath with an intoxicated expression, but then Jiang Chen realized with a bitter smile that he had inhaled a nose full of dust.
Because no one had lived here for a long time, the bed was covered in dust. Looking around the apartment that he had lived in for two years, he suddenly felt nostalgic.
He shook his head with a smile and threw this inexplicable feeling out of his head.
Perhaps, it was time to say goodbye …
Jiang Chen took out his phone and called the landlord. As if he had expected it, he moved the phone two feet away from his ear.
"… Hello? Jiang Chen! That apartment, if you want to continue renting it, then hurry up and pay for the rest of the year! Let me tell you, even if you don't rent this apartment, other people will rent it. If it weren't for the fact that you're working alone in Wanghai without anyone to rely on, I would've thrown your things out a long time ago! Fu * k, you didn't pick up the phone for the past few days. You have no money and you're still playing around … "Wu Jie yelled over the phone as if he had Jiang Chen in his grasp.
Of course, if it was half a month ago, he might have been able to completely dominate Jiang Chen. But now …
"Rent the apartment to someone else," Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.
"What? What did you say? "The voice on the other side of the phone was full of shock. To be honest, Wu Jie really didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so stubborn that he didn't want to rent anymore.
Not renting? If you don't rent my apartment, where are you going to live?
"If you keep calling me kid, I'll make sure you can't open your mouth for the rest of your life." Jiang Chen's tone was calm and light, so the landlord couldn't detect any change in his emotions.
However, the chill crept up Wu Jie's heart like a venomous snake. He was just about to curse out loud in anger. The words crawled to the tip of his tongue, but it was as if cotton was stuffed in his throat. He couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Jiang Chen didn't want to waste any more time with this idiot and hung up the phone. Although the landlord had given him a lot of hints before, at this moment, he had no desire to be calculative. Since a dog barks at you every day, you can't just lie down and bark back at him, right?
It would be a waste of time and integrity.
Of course, if the dog was too shameless, Jiang Chen wouldn't mind slapping him in the face. Whether you scold me or not is your freedom, but whether I hit you or not is my freedom.
After he hung up, Jiang Chen's phone began to ring with a series of text messages. The screen was filled with missed calls. Since he was still in the apocalypse not long ago, these messages naturally did not reach his phone.
His finger slid across the screen. Other than the landlord's call, there was also a call from Xia Shiyu. He reckoned that this chick must be waiting anxiously. She, the chairman, had suddenly disappeared for so many days without leaving any news.
Jiang Chen smiled, but his fingers suddenly trembled.
They were calls from home, and there were more than ten of them.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with a layer of mist.
Perhaps … he should find some time to go back and take a look?
He took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness of being away from home for many years. He dialed the familiar number.
"Hello? Mom, it's me … "
"Chen 'er, you finally called. You've made your father so anxious these past few days." A familiar and excited voice came from the other side of the phone. "Old man, Chen 'er called back!"
"Mom, don't call me that name, it's too sissy …" A smile flashed across Jiang Chen's face as he wiped the corner of his eyes.
"What do you mean by sissy! How can you talk to your mom like that? This kid, he's grown wings now! " When he heard the angry roar from the other side of the phone, Jiang Chen felt a sense of comfort.
[Looks like mom and dad are in good health …]
It also made Jiang Chen, who hadn't been home for a long time, feel a little less guilty.
Worried that he wouldn't be able to make a name for himself and disappoint his parents, Jiang Chen used work as a shield and refused to go back. Even if it was New Year, he used work as an excuse.
Although he also knew that even if he didn't make a name for himself, his parents would still warmly accept him and happily welcome him into the house. But he couldn't accept it …
[But now, those concerns are gone … Dad, mom, your son has made a name for himself.]
Jiang Chen's hand holding the phone trembled as he listened to the nagging and reminders. He responded with a smile.
"… Son, it's been hard on you outside. Do you have enough money? Don't tire yourself out. You're in the beginning stages of your career. If you need money, tell mom. I still have some savings. "
"Your money is not enough. The most important thing for me now is to buy a house! Without a house, which girl would like you? Son, it's okay to be tired. We're men, we can handle it! Your mom and dad still have some savings. Maybe you can use it to buy a house in Wanghai and pay for the down payment first. With a house, you can bring a daughter-in-law home for your mom and dad. Your mom and dad are still waiting for a grandson. "
"No need, mom and dad, your son has made a name for himself. I opened a company in Wanghai, and people are already working for me. I'll take care of the house myself, don't worry about it! Take care of your body, don't always think about saving money! Spend where you need to spend, if it's not enough, I'll give … "Jiang Chen rubbed the corner of his eyes and smiled.
"You're teaching me a lesson now, huh? Haha, honey, our son has made a name for himself! Haha … "The voice on the other side of the phone was full of excitement.
"What? Chen, you're doing business outside? You have to be careful, don't get scammed! Let me tell you, I've been watching the news! A lot of people are out there … "There was also concern and worry.
"Don't worry, my son is much smarter than you." Jiang Jianguo laughed. When he heard that his son had made a name for himself, the joy in his heart was even greater than winning the lottery.
After dinner, he could brag to the old men at the door that their university student had opened a company in Wanghai and was making people work for him! That would be great, the daughter-in-law thing would be easy. Who didn't want to marry into a big city? Old Liu's daughter across the street didn't have a partner, and Old Xia from the front building, Old Zhang from the property management department …
"Your son is not my son!" Li Xuemei glared at her husband.
…
Jiang Chen listened to the familiar chatter on the other side of the phone. He raised his left hand and secretly wiped the corner of his eyes.
This was the feeling of home, but he had always chosen to avoid it.
It had nothing to do with being rich or poor. The purest feeling in the world was family.
Perhaps he should find some time to go back? How did the saying go again … Yes, don't return to your hometown when you're rich.
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face as he thought about it.
…
After the call with his parents, he laid back on the bed, not caring about the dust that flew into the room.
He was about to move away from here … Jiang Chen felt melancholy as he wanted to lie on the cotton bed for a while longer.
500 million USD was equivalent to 3 billion RMB.
Jiang Chen didn't know the exact exchange rate, but he estimated it to be around that number.
What kind of mansion should he buy?
He had never thought about this before. A month ago, even a 50 square meter house was something Jiang Chen didn't even dare to think about, let alone a mansion.
But now, of course, it was not a problem.
One person couldn't figure it out? No problem, two people could think together.
He picked up the phone again, but his fingers froze …
Who should he call?
He suddenly realized that he didn't have many friends in the city. His expression began to change as he awkwardly smiled.
Whatever.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen let out a sigh and dialed Xia Shiyu's number. Since he was going to call her anyway, he might as well ask her.
…
Xia Shiyu, who was anxious about Jiang Chen's whereabouts, suddenly felt her pocket vibrate. She paused for a moment before she immediately pulled out the iPhone 5 with the missed call. When she saw that familiar name, she was so angry that she laughed.
"Hello? Did I hear it right? Our company's president called me back. "The voice was not cold, but Jiang Chen heard the sound of teeth clenching.
"Ahem, I've been busy with business, let's not talk about this …" Jiang Chen shamelessly changed the topic.
"Oh? What kind of business requires you to turn off your phone? Do you know that the company is currently in its infancy? Hiring? The direction of the company? Is this your company or my company … "
The person on the other side of the phone spoke so quickly that he forced a smile and moved the phone two inches away. Xia Shiyu's reaction to his disappearance was beyond his expectations.
But business was more important.
"… Can you accompany me to look around?"
"…" Xia Shiyu hung up.
In less than two seconds, the phone rang again.
Xia Shiyu suppressed the unknown anger in her heart as she took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to hang up on Jiang Chen.
"Ahem, don't hang up on me, I'm serious! Let's find some other time … "
"What does buying a house have to do with me?" Xia Shiyu said coldly as her chest violently moved up and down. Jiang Chen's cheeky attitude made her, who had been worried about his whereabouts, feel a sense of humiliation.
That's right, humiliation.
It was as if you worked for half a day, but others didn't take your efforts seriously.
"Of course it's related … You can come and play if you have nothing to do." Jiang Chen, who was on the other side of the phone, couldn't read Xia Shiyu's expression as he continued to smile.
Xia Shiyu was taken aback by Jiang Chen's words.
[Eh?] She touched her forehead in confusion as she felt the unnatural heat coming from her hand.
[No fever … Strange?]
"Hey, hey, are you listening? I said, I'm done with the mobile game development … Rather than done, it's more accurate to say that the development is complete. The next step is to hire people for server maintenance. Of course, you should know better than me which people to hire, so I'll leave it to you. But if you need me to go with you, I don't mind. Hehe … The premise is that you come with me to look at a house. "
"Okay." Xia Shiyu didn't think much before agreeing. When she realized that she agreed to this completely illogical request so decisively, she felt a little strange herself.
[It must be because of work …]
[If I don't agree to his boring request, he will definitely disappear again.]
[Mhmm, that's right, it's because of work …]
Xia Shiyu hung up the phone as she rubbed her tired temples and explained to herself. Although, "explaining to herself" made her feel like it was unnecessary.
…
[Done!]
Jiang Chen stretched and tossed the phone aside.
[Girls are more attentive. Bringing a girl to pick a house will be more tasteful.] Although he was pretentious and narcissistic, he knew his place. For example, he never believed in his own taste. Jiang Chen didn't have the confidence to listen to the bullshit of the developers.
As to whether or not he was interested in Xia Shiyu? To be honest, he didn't think in that direction.
But when he picked up the phone, in this city, the only person he could think of to discuss this matter was his former female boss … Oh no, now she should be called his female subordinate, hahaha …
Since he wanted to buy a house, he naturally needed cash. Jiang Chen's storage dimension was filled with gold. Although it was gold worth more than 500 million USD, he couldn't buy a house with a few tons of gold.
Jiang Chen picked up the phone again and dialed an international number.
However, Jiang Chen, who put the phone next to his ear, frowned.
