Lin Yuyao could only get up and open the door for him.
Fu Huaiyi was wearing a military coat and holding a box in his hand.
He came in wrapped in the cold wind. Lin Yuyao, who was wearing thin clothes, shivered from the cold and quickly huddled back into the quilt.
"What is it? What did you mention?"
Fu Huaiyi closed the door and locked it. Then he pulled a stool and sat beside her bed, put the box on the bedside table and started to play.
"What is this?"
"My belongings."
Did he really bring his belongings?
"This box is so special, why can't I open it after trying so hard for so long?"
"Military safes are more complicated."
After hearing what he said, Lin Yuyao calmed down and watched him tinker with the box attentively.
After beating the drum for a while, it finally opened with a click.
The box was opened, and inside were some cash, deposit slips, grain coupons, cloth coupons and various other tickets... gold bars, jade artifacts, ancient coins... as well as sets of commemorative banknotes, stamps, and so on.
Other people's property is just money, and his property is quite abundant.
He took out the deposit slip and cash and said, "This is all the money I have. With your money, I think it's enough to buy a big house."
He then picked up the commemorative banknotes and stamps and said, "These things are worth some money, but it's easy to sell them, but it's hard to buy them back in the future."
Even though Lin Yuyao had never been rich in her previous life, she knew that these things would be very valuable in the future.
"I'm not selling it. I'm keeping it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Then he picked up the two gold bars and said, "You can't sell this either. I'll make you a set of jewelry when we get married."
Lin Yuyao: "How many?"
"Not much, 200 grams. It should be enough if we don't make big pieces."
God, two hundred grams, of course it's enough.
"Why do you want to save gold?"
Could this be the money he saved for his wife?
"I didn't save it. My grandma gave it to me before she passed away. I had quite a lot of it originally. I sold it and bought a car, and my daily expenses... ahem, my daily expenses are a bit high, but from now on, you are in charge of our money, and I won't spend it."
She was quite interested in that.
Then he asked, "How many were there originally?"
He gestured.
Lin Yuyao was surprised and asked, "Ten?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded.
This is a 100-gram stick. He originally had ten sticks, but now there are only two left?
How old is he?
If he doesn't ask his parents for money after he starts working, then he must have been supported by his parents before he started working.
In other words, he spent eight of them in just four or five years?
This does not include his salary.
This expense is not just a little bit high, it's over 100 million.
Originally, Lin Yuyao had a low self-esteem and felt that she might not be worthy of him.
Now...
Wait a minute, she'll do the math.
"You earn more than 100 yuan a month?"
"It's increased this year, two hundred."
Well, that year it was more than two thousand.
There weren't so many in the past few years.
Since he has been working for less than five years, just count it as five years. Actually the salary is not that much.
If we calculate five years’ salary, I estimate it to be several thousand yuan.
Lin Yuyao asked, "During the past few years, have you earned 7,000 to 8,000 yuan?"
She calculated it based on Lu Jiangting's salary, and estimated that they were about the same.
Fu Huaiyi calculated and said, "About the same, with a little bonus occasionally."
So the seven or eight thousand dollars earned from working for a few years is not as much as what she earns in a few months writing a book.
"So what is this 20,000 or so...?"
"I was studying a few years ago, and my parents gave me a lot of money. The school was very strict at the time, and I had almost no chance to spend money. I had some money left from selling the gold bars, so this is all I have."
Is this how he spent the gold bars his grandmother gave him?
I don't know what grandma said at the time.
So compared to himself, he earns less and spends more.
Who is trying to climb up to whom?
Thinking of this, the inferiority complex that had been suppressing Lin Yuyao disappeared, and she suddenly became confident.
"That's great, but your expenses are indeed quite high."
She can't afford to keep it this way.
"Forget about it if you're alone. You can't spend like this if you want to live."
Fu Huaiyi: "I'll listen to you. I'll give you this safe, too."
Lin Yuyao tried to lift it, but it was too heavy and she couldn't lift it.
"Put it in a bank." She remembered that banks have private safe deposit boxes, and they pay an annual fee.
"This house is not mine, it belongs to the landlord. If Pan Yi could climb in, anyone else could too. Maybe the landlord has the key. Be careful not to lose the box. It's not safe."
Fu Huaiyi felt a little guilty and agreed.
"Then go and save it."
"Shall I deposit it?"
"Well, you see, I'm leaking a lot of money. If I keep it here, I might end up spending a lot of it when I buy a house."
I don’t know whether he makes money or not, but he is definitely a money-loser.
Everything he buys is good, and he always treats people to dinner.
Bought a bicycle, then a motorcycle, then a motorcycle, then a car, most families cannot afford such a hassle.
Lin Yuyao stared at his hands for a few seconds, and just looking at those fingers filled her with a sense of power.
This money is like sand. If you hold it too tightly, it will leak out.
…
The next morning, Lin Yuyao went to the bookstore early. A car from the printing factory arrived. She loaded all 600 sets of books onto the car before the official start of work and took the signed books back to sell.
That day she received another call from Song Qin.
"Yuyao, I heard that you signed all 600 sets of books yesterday?"
"Yes."
Song Qin was happy because the other person she met was always slow in signing.
The fact that Lin Yuyao was able to sign it out in one day means that she worked overtime yesterday.
Diligence is a good thing, and it can bring wealth.
She is rich and I am rich too.
"Sister Song, is this the only batch? Are there any more?"
"For now, we can't sign too many copies for this first batch, so that there is a sense of scarcity. If this is successful, there will be many opportunities to sign and sell books in the future. You have to line up for on-site signings, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until I'm more famous. If I don't write well in the future, I'll just forget about it."
Song Qin: “…”
"Girl, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I find you're always very pessimistic."
Is that so?
"You said you are young and full of energy. You should always think positively about everything."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "You are right, but I was mistaken."
"You are probably more of an introvert and afraid to show up. It's okay if you really don't want to show up. Keeping a secret is also a way to attract people."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I will follow Sister Song's arrangements."
"Don't say I arranged it. The final result depends on you. In fact, fame is like a double-edged sword. Appearing in public helps to hype people up. Have you heard of hype?"
"I've heard of it."
It is a relatively new word nowadays, and has a strong Hong Kong flavor.
Song Qin smiled and said, "Sure, you know the term. I thought you were more of an old-fashioned boss. If you don't show up, then we can just create a sense of mystery and take some hazy photos from time to time. That's fine too."
