Early in the morning, the bell rang, got up, dressed, washed …
On Sunday morning, when most people were still in dreamland, Lu Chen woke up early as usual and began a new busy day in the misty morning light.
He sweated for two hours in the park by the artificial river, and ate a hearty breakfast to replenish enough water and nutrition, just in time for the opening of the nearby bank.
Lu Chen transferred the 300,000 yuan in his account to the account that could not be more familiar.
As soon as he stepped out of the bank, the phone in his pocket rang.
Lu Chen immediately picked it up, "Mom, I was just about to call you!"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Little Chen, did you transfer the money? Where did you get so much money? "
There was uncontrollable anxiety in the voice, as well as concern and worry from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Of course, I earned it!"
It was his mother, Fang Yun, who called Lu Chen.
Fang Yun was an ordinary accountant in the Local Taxation Bureau of Binhai City, Zhejiang Province. After the death of Lu Chen's father, she strongly took up the burden of the family that had lost its backbone.
Lu Chen went to the capital to work. Every month, he would transfer money to Fang Yun's account and let Fang Yun arrange to repay those creditors. Although it was not much, at least it would not make people lose hope.
These creditors were all Lu Qingsheng's relatives, friends, classmates, and clients when he was alive. Many of them had lent out their life savings out of kinship, trust, and friendship. If there was no hope of returning the money, then the Lu family would forever bear the heavy responsibility.
Lu Qingsheng died, and what he left to his family was a huge debt that could not be repaid.
Lu Chen had been angry, painful, desperate, and lost because of this, but he finally survived and saw the dawn.
Just like now, the warm sunlight shone through the leaves of the sycamore tree, shining on his body and face.
Fang Yun said eagerly, "You child, tell me the truth!"
It had been almost a year since Lu Chen left the university to work in Beijing. In order to save money, he did not go home during the Chinese New Year. How could Fang Yun not miss him?
Now that Lu Chen suddenly transferred 300,000 yuan to her, her first reaction when she saw the message was not joy, but panic and fear. She was afraid that Lu Chen had done something bad.
Otherwise, how could he earn 300,000 yuan?
Lu Chen said, "Mom, open your FEB and you'll understand."
He had already predicted this situation yesterday, so he took a picture of the contract signed with Light Rain Media and ChenJianhao, and sent it to Fang Yun after transferring the money.
After five minutes, Fang Yun finally confirmed that her son had not done anything illegal in the capital.
Lu Chen earned so much money by writing songs and singing. He even owned 5% of a bar's shares!
She was surprised and proud. She sighed with emotion and finally said, "When are you coming home?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll be back in early June, and I still have to go to school to attend the graduation ceremony. By the way, Mom …"
"Tell Sister, don't let her go to work. Let her stay at home and prepare for the exams in December!"
Lu Chen's sister, Lu Xi, had always been excellent in her studies. She was recommended for postgraduate studies before graduating from university, but because of the changes in her family, she had to give up her postgraduate studies to work to earn money.
Lu Chen knew that Lu Xi's dream since childhood was to get a PhD. She also had the ability to do so, so it was still not too late, "Don't let her worry about the family's debt. I can pay it off in three years at most!"
Lu Chen made a bold statement. He really had this kind of confidence!
Fang Yun was not optimistic, "I'll try. You know your sister's temper. She is as stubborn as your father!"
Lu Chenhurriedly said, "Let her come to Beijing, too!"
Lu Chen was already prepared to develop in Beijing for a long time. If there was a family member by his side, that would naturally be the best.
After ending the call with his mother, Lu Chen returned to his underground dwelling.
Li Feiyu had already woken up. He was standing at the door holding the phone. When he saw Lu Chen return, he immediately felt relieved, "I was just about to call you. Xiao Mei and the others are already waiting at Guangyuan Building!"
"I'll leave after I change my clothes!"
Lu Chen quickly ran into his room and changed into a set of clean clothes, which was a T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of casual shoes. Then, he followed Li Feiyu out of the house and took a taxi to Guangyuan Building.
Guangyuan Building was less than 5 minutes away from Lu Chen's rented place. At the entrance of the building, Lu Chen finally saw the legendary Sister Xiao Mei.
Actually, he had seen Xiao Mei's photo before, but this was the first time he saw her in person.
Xiao Mei was very young and beautiful. She was petite and cute, but her makeup was a bit too thick.
Her friend had the temperament of a businesswoman. She wore a white short skirt and had long hair that fell over her shoulders. She carried her handbag and held onto her phone. She looked a bit shrewd.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Li Feiyu repeatedly apologized, "I've made the two beauties wait for a long time. I'm really sorry!"
Xiao Mei rolled her eyes and snorted. She had a "I'm very unhappy" expression on her face.
However, her friend was very understanding. She smiled and tried to smooth things over, "It's alright. We just arrived. Is this handsome guy looking to rent a place?"
Her gaze fell on Lu Chen. Her eyes revealed a bit of curiosity.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Feiyu quickly nodded and introduced, "This is my good brother, Lu Chen. Da Chen, let me introduce you. This is Chen Xiao Mei, and this is her friend, Zhang Ying."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I've long heard of Sister Xiao Mei's name. Today, I finally get to see you in person!"
A handsome guy was a handsome guy. Especially a tall and witty guy like Lu Chen. He was usually liked by people. Especially when he smiled, it was full of sunshine. It made people unconsciously have a good impression of him.
Sister Xiao Mei really had a good impression of him. She pursed her lips and said, "I know you. Li Feiyu has mentioned you many times."
Lu Chen said, "Li Ge is a warm-hearted person. Let's go see the house first?"
The house was located a few hundred meters away from Guangyuan Building in Jin Cheng Yuan.
The size of Jin Cheng Yuan was not large. It had 9 independent small high-rise buildings. However, the facilities in the community were very complete. The green area reached at least 50%. The property management was very strict. Visitors had to register when entering and leaving.
The surrounding environment was even better. It was adjacent to the business district. A few minutes' walk to the nearest subway station.
Zhang Ying's house was Building 7, Room 1502. It was a standard single apartment with one bedroom, one living room, and a kitchen. The area of the apartment was about 35 square meters. It was well-decorated and fully equipped with appliances. It looked completely new. The interior was very clean.
At least, Lu Chen could not find any problems.
This single apartment was rented by Zhang Ying two years ago. She signed a five-year long-term contract. She spent money to renovate the apartment and equipped it with a full set of appliances and furniture.
Sister Xiao Mei's friend was a cosmetics agent in the capital. Now the competition in the capital was too fierce. So, she was going back to her hometown to open a brand store. This apartment naturally became a problem.
The cost of breaking the contract was too high. Subletting was undoubtedly the best choice. However, the current agents were not reliable. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Ying sent a message on her WeChat Moments to look for a rental apartment. In the end, she found Lu Chen.
As for the rental price, Zhang Ying said straightforwardly, "Since you are Li Ge's friend, then I will be straightforward. 5,000 yuan per month. You can use all the appliances and furniture for free. Water, electricity, heating, and broadband will be paid by you!"
It was not easy to live in the capital. The housing prices in the capital were the highest in the country. Although this single apartment was small, it could not be bought without 2 million yuan. It was fully renovated with a full set of appliances. 5,000 yuan per month was the normal price.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "4,000 yuan. I will sign with you for three years. How about paying half a year's rent first?"
He wanted to sign the rest of Zhang Ying's lease. Naturally, they had to negotiate the price.
Of course, Zhang Ying was willing to sign all of it. However, she was a shrewd businesswoman. It was impossible for her to accept Lu Chen's offer.
Both sides bargained back and forth. Finally, they settled on 4,500 yuan per month. Then, Zhang Ying gave the 90% new computer in her living room to Lu Chen as a bonus.
Both Lu Chen and Zhang Ying were very satisfied with this deal. After the two of them negotiated, they went to a nearby printing shop to print the contract. They signed the contract on the spot.
It did not take long for Lu Chen to rent the new apartment. At the same time, he emptied his pocket.
