Chapter 159 World 6 [4]
Ye Yunfu successfully passed the driving test during the summer vacation of his sophomore year. When meeting relatives during the Chinese New Year, he would occasionally act as a driver to send them back home.
After the system performed another vehicle inspection, Ye Yunfu drove his new white car away from the dealership. Passing by a nearby supermarket, Ye Yunfu bought some household items and decided to return home to check on his friends and sister.
"There are corresponding writing templates for English essays. If you're just looking for basic scores, just memorize them and apply them based on the topic. Don't try to build overly complex sentences, as that can lead to grammatical errors. It's better to memorize some advanced vocabulary that will impress the teacher."
When Ye Yunfu opened the door with the key, his friend who didn't want to work hard became a free one-on-one tutor, teaching his sister English writing skills.
Ye Yunfu and Zhang Sangyu both received scholarships every year. They passed the CET-4 in their freshman year and obtained the CET-6 in their sophomore year.
Zhang Sangyu is also studying English for the postgraduate entrance exam. While her knowledge base might not surpass that of a high school English teacher, it's more than enough to tutor a high school sophomore.
Ye Yunshu didn't understand what he heard. He nodded continuously and looked at Zhang Sangyu with extremely admiring eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Sangyu couldn't help but show off a little. She directly took Ye Yunshu's pen and wrote a panacea sentence on the draft book.
"For example, this sentence can be used at the end of any article that involves discussing or commenting on something or a certain manifestation. I have replaced it with advanced vocabulary. It is not a very complicated inverted long sentence, so you can just memorize it directly." Zhang Sangyu said.
After putting down her pen, Zhang Sangyu noticed Ye Yunfu standing at the entrance. He waved at her. "Yunfu, why are you back so early today? Did you forget to take something?"
"I came back to see you and asked if you wanted to go out for a walk and buy some things." Ye Yunfu said.
His mother's condition is very stable now. She just needs to wait for the surgery to be scheduled, so Ye Yunfu is relatively free these days.
"How's the situation with Auntie?" Zhang Sangyu asked.
"The treatment plan has been finalized. A minimally invasive surgery will be performed around Wednesday. After a period of hospitalization and recuperation, she can be discharged." Ye Yunfu avoided the important issues, not wanting to add burden to his sister.
"Mom needs surgery?" Ye Yunshu looked up, nervousness in her eyes.
"Yes, it's a minimally invasive surgery with very low risks." Ye Yunfu walked over and touched his sister's head. "Would you like to go out with us to buy something?"
Ye Yunshu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't lack anything now. If you need anything, just go out and buy it. I'll be at home."
"That's fine. What would you like to eat tonight? We'll bring it to you when we come back." Ye Yunfu moved his hand away from his sister's head.
Ye Yunfu and Ye Yunshu both have good looks that are pleasing to the eye. They are the kind of pretty girls who seem to be of above-average appearance at first glance.
Only if you calm down and observe carefully, you will find that their facial features are extremely perfect whether taken individually or combined together, and there is nothing wrong with them.
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky about food." Ye Yunshu behaved very well.
Ye Yunshu knew that her sister was very tired from running back and forth between the hospital and home every day, so she wanted to reduce her sister's burden as much as possible.
-
After getting off the elevator, Zhang Sangyu habitually took out his phone and opened the taxi app, "Yunfu, where are you going to buy something? I'll call a taxi first."
"No need, I have a car." Ye Yunfu did not hide it from his friend and took out the newly acquired car keys from his pocket.
"Ah?" Zhang Sangyu's expression froze for a moment. "When did you buy the car? How come I didn't know about it?"
"I bought it recently. It's too inconvenient to take a taxi all the time, so I bought a car." Ye Yunfu said half-seriously, "On Monday and Tuesday, if I go to the hospital, I can take Yunshu to school on the way, so you don't have to get up early."
"Don't be so formal with me. If it weren't for Yunshu, I would probably sleep until noon. Being around high school students actually gives me more motivation to study."
After a brief surprise, Zhang Sangyu quickly accepted the news that his friend had received a new car. After looking around for several times, he opened the door and got in.
"Very good, Yunfu. This car looks great. You have good taste." Zhang Sangyu praised, pulling down the passenger sun visor and looking in the small mirror. "Yunfu, where are we going now?"
"We didn't bring much change of clothes, so let's go buy some clothes at the mall first. I'll be staying in the hospital for my mother's surgery and for a few days afterward, so I might have to trouble you for about a week." Ye Yunfu said, "I'll leave the car to you, and I'll also give you the task of picking up Yunshu from school."
Zhang Sangyu frowned when she heard this. "Didn't Auntie perform minimally invasive surgery? You weren't telling the truth just now?"
"It's minimally invasive, but there are certain risks after the operation. I feel uneasy if I don't stay in the hospital," said Ye Yunfu.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You need me to do some work, so you're trying to bribe me with new clothes, right?" Zhang Sangyu interrupted Ye Yunfu and winked at her. "Don't worry, I'm a professional when it comes to getting things done."
"Sang Yu, you know that's not what I meant." Ye Yunfu said helplessly.
"Okay, I was just kidding. Thank you for giving me the clothes. I will help you take care of Yunshu and also take care of her after-school tutoring. Remember to treat me to some local specialties after my aunt is discharged from the hospital." Zhang Sangyu said with a smile.
Of course Zhang Sangyu understood what her friend meant, but she didn't want to argue so clearly with her good friend, so she started to make a fuss and disrupted Ye Yunfu's rhythm.
"Sure, you order the dishes and I'll pay for the bill." Ye Yunfu, who also understood what his friend meant, said with a smile.
After discovering that Ye Yunfu and Zhang Sangyu had a very good relationship, Jing·Rich-Quick System·Keji was not so happy anymore, and couldn't help but think about whether he should make a deal with the world consciousness in advance.
No, no, it's too hasty to turn into a human now.
According to my understanding of Ye Yunfu, if I were to transform from a system into a human, she would absolutely not be willing to spend her own money.
The time is not right yet. You need to be patient and wait until the relationship between you and others becomes closer before making a deal with the world consciousness.
Jing Ke, who had silently made up his mind, chose to ignore the scene of Ye Yunfu and Zhang Sangyu shopping hand in hand as much as possible, and instead did his homework in advance, thinking about the time to release the next task and the corresponding content.
Even if Zhang Sangyu is close to Ye Yunfu, they are just friends, good friends at most.
After spending four figures on his friend, Ye Yunfu reluctantly stopped after being persuaded by the other party, and then bought a few new sets of clothes for his sister according to his own feelings.
Ye Yunshu, who was eating pizza, opened her mouth into an O shape when she heard her sister bought a car. When she heard her sister had won two scratch-off lottery jackpots a few days ago, her eyes also turned into O shapes.
"This is the pocket money I give you. You can buy anything with it, but remember one thing, you can't violate the school rules." While informing his sister, Ye Yunfu handed over the red envelope he had prepared in advance.
It wasn't a lot of money, only two thousand yuan, but for a high school student with a full meal card balance, it was a huge sum of money.
"Thank you, sister!" Ye Yunshu took it with shining eyes, and the worries in her heart were also reduced a lot.
My sister has enough money to buy a car and give me red envelopes, so my mother's condition must not be serious. Maybe she can be discharged from the hospital soon!
-
In the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday, the day when Ye's mother had surgery.
Including the anesthesia time before and after the operation, Ye Yunfu sat on the chair outside the operating room for a full three hours. When he saw the doctor coming out, he stood up and ran over immediately.
"Doctor, how is my mother's condition?" Ye Yunfu asked nervously, wanting to hear the same answer from the doctor as the system.
"The operation was very successful. The situation inside is better than expected. You can be discharged from the hospital after five days of rest after the operation." The doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you doctor." The stone in Ye Yunfu's heart fell mostly.
"It's nothing. This is what we doctors do. The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. You can wait here. Your mother should be taken out in about twenty minutes." said the doctor.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." Ye Yunfu kept thanking.
After watching the doctor leave, Ye Yunfu sat back in her chair. After a long sigh, the corners of her mouth began to curl up.
"System, Mom's condition is just as you said. The operation went very smoothly."
"Of course, this system's inspection results haven't been wrong. The host can trust this system without any worries." Jing Ke said.
Ye Yunfu thanked him again: "Thank you, thank you so much."
[This system has long stated that its purpose is to help the host achieve rapid wealth. The host's problems on the road to rapid wealth are the system's problems. This system will do its best to help the host.]
"Then, is there anything I can do for you?" Ye Yunfu asked, feeling a little guilty and uneasy.
It has been almost a week since she bound herself to the Get Rich System. The Get Rich System gave her things worth one million and more than one million in cash in disguise, but she didn't seem to do anything beneficial to the system.
"System, as long as it's not a particularly difficult task, I will try my best to do what you have done." Ye Yunfu continued.
[Host wants to do the mission? ]
"I guess so. I think I should do something for you." Ye Yunfu said, touching her nose. After eating too many free lunches, she really couldn't help but think too much.
[The host is currently idle. A new time-limited task has been added. Please spend a small amount within seven days. Successfully complete the task and you will receive a cash reward of the same amount. If you fail to complete the task before the countdown reaches zero, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the host's account.]
"A small goal? One hundred million?" Ye Yunfu almost couldn't help but blurt out. Had she heard correctly? Was the Get Rich System giving her money? Or was it the assets totaling two small goals?
"System, what I mean is that I want to do something for you. I don't need you to issue me this kind of task and let me get so many rewards for free." Ye Yunfu almost said the word "freeload" at the same time.
[Yes, the corresponding amount has been deposited into the host's account. Please complete the task within the time limit.]
How to spend 100 million in seven days? This task seems to be easier than how to spend 1 million in an hour, after all, the time is longer.
But after Ye Yunfu took out his mobile phone and did some calculations, he found that the difficulty of the two was not much different.
If I spent one small goal in seven days, that would mean spending over half a million, nearly six hundred thousand per hour! Could I be buying twenty-four cars a day? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
The money that the system transferred to Ye Yunfu has a clear source and can withstand investigation.
But the problem was that Ye Yunfu's friends and family all knew her financial situation. It was understandable for her to buy a car with a small fortune, but if she suddenly bought many cars and many houses, that would be rather strange.
Therefore, the biggest problem Ye Yunfu faced was how to get the money in a relatively reasonable way.
Or, how to spend the 100 million without telling friends and family.
Before Ye Yunfu could come up with a plan, she saw her mother lying on the hospital bed. This made Ye Yunfu put this sweet worry behind her for the time being, and she followed the nurse who was pushing the cart to ask about her mother's condition.
-
After staying in the hospital for three days, Ye Yunfu was kicked out by his mother, who was already able to go out for a walk on her own.
After realizing that there were less than five days left, Ye Yunfu bit his lower lip and rethought how to spend a small goal.
In theory, it is feasible to buy gold bars, keep them, and then slowly sell them after three months.
However, in practice, there are many problems. For example, a single bank branch may not have gold bars worth 100 million yuan. If you buy so many at once, it may attract the attention of certain people and cause some trouble.
After ruling out the idea of buying all the gold bars, Ye Yunfu focused his attention on buying a house. He planned to buy a high-quality villa with a superior geographical environment, which he could move into directly, and which would also be a good place for his mother to recuperate.
Without considering the price of the villa, a three-story villa worth more than 30 million came into Ye Yunfu's sight.
The villa covers a total area of 500 square meters, about 100 square meters of which are the front and back yards, 30 square meters are public areas, and the remaining 300 square meters are indoor building area. It also has the bonus of being a school district house, and is less than three kilometers away from the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
Before Ye Yunfu could make a decision, Jing Ke's voice rang in his mind, "Host, the editor-in-chief of Yuandian is calling. Do you need to unblock me?"
The editor-in-chief of Yuandian? Ye Yunfu frowned subconsciously, his first reaction being that Xing Tianxia was here again.
"Has Yuandian officially responded?" Ye Yunfu asked. She had been busy taking care of her mother these past few days and had no time to keep an eye on the Xingtianxia group.
[Yuandian announced the dismissal of editor Xiao Wang, but did not provide a specific response.]
"Unblock it. I'm also curious about the official attitude." After Ye Yunfu expressed his attitude, an unfamiliar call popped up on his phone.
Letting out a light breath, Ye Yunfu pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Ms. Ye, I am the editor-in-chief of Yuandian. Are you available now?" The polite inquiry came over immediately.
Ye Yunfu: "What's the matter?"
Editor-in-Chief: "Well, we've learned that editor Xiao Wang used your personal information to threaten you. We've completed our internal investigation and fired him. Ms. Ye, please rest assured that the personal information you provided us will never be leaked."
Ye Yunfu: "Isn't this what you should do?"
The editor-in-chief on the phone was slow to respond. "Yes, that's exactly what we should do. However, we also understand that you want to end your cooperation with us. Is this true? As a friendly reminder, Yuandian Literature City is the largest online literature platform in China. Yuandian is the best place for you to showcase your literary talent."
The editor's words sound very polite, but if you listen carefully, you will find that although the other party calls you "you" all the time, he still has not changed the arrogance etched in his bones.
Not only did he not show any intention of apologizing, but he also put pressure on Ye Yunfu, asking her if she wanted to end the cooperation.
After discovering this, Ye Yunfu sighed and began to regret his decision.
Why should I waste time answering this call? I should just block it directly.
"Yes, if you have nothing else, don't contact me anymore. I'm very busy." After leaving this sentence, Ye Yunfu hung up the phone.
However, the call from the editor-in-chief of Yuandian gave Ye Yunfu some inspiration. She seemed to have figured out how to complete a small goal.
"System, if I use this money to invest, will it be considered as having spent the money?" Ye Yunfu asked.
[If the host chooses to purchase low-risk products such as stocks, bonds, and wealth management products, the amount of consumption will not be counted. Only medium- and high-risk activities such as investing in physical companies, film and television dramas, etc. will be considered valid consumption.]
This was exactly the answer Ye Yunfu wanted. When she was preparing to change jobs, she paid attention to information about some companies.
For example, Green River Literature City, which ranks second in size, if she remembered correctly, accepts investment, and she can invest all the remaining money in it after buying the house.
If all goes well, my future works can also be published on Green River Literature City!
After deciding on a rough plan in his mind, Ye Yunfu immediately took action.
Paying the full amount for a house is what real estate agents and sellers desire. After two hours of on-site inspection, Ye Yunfu decided to pay by credit card on the spot.
When the seller heard that he could pay for it all in one go, he took the initiative to give Ye Yunfu a discount, eliminating the small change of one million yuan and only asking for 30 million yuan in total from Ye Yunfu, including the agency fees himself.
Being able to save more than one million is of course a great thing. After signing the contract, Ye Yunfu swiped his credit card and completed the change of ownership at the same time.
It is difficult for ordinary people to contact the person in charge of Green River Literature City, but as Ye Yunfu is a currently popular author, she only needs to chat with the editor who is trying to recruit her and she will successfully get the phone number of the person in charge.
After hearing that Ye Yunfu was going to invest 70 million, the person in charge of Lvjiang couldn't help but raise his voice. After confirming that the other party was not joking, he immediately said that he was always available.
"I'm not available recently. Could you please ask Mr. Liu to come over? If it's no problem, I can transfer the investment money to the company's account immediately." Ye Yunfu said.
"Of course, I'm traveling right now. I wonder if it's convenient for Mr. Ye tomorrow? I'll fly over directly tonight." Mr. Liu was very enthusiastic about the God of Wealth.
This is a full 70 million investment. How can it be considered a hassle for a distance of less than 1,000 kilometers? Even if it means flying abroad, Mr. Liu is very willing!
"Okay, then tomorrow morning at 9:30?" Ye Yunfu gave a time.
Mr. Liu responded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Ye can send me the address when the time comes. I will definitely be there on time!"
The efficient communication took Ye Yunfu less than ten minutes, and she ended the call very satisfied.
[Host, Origin official released an announcement three minutes ago, stating that the host's behavior is inconsistent with the original intention of establishing the website, and therefore directly terminated the cooperation with the host.]
"What about the copyright of my first novel?" Ye Yunfu, who had money in his pocket, was not very panicked.
[In order to protect the interests of readers, we will maintain the original charging model, but subsequent profits will not be shared with the host, but will be donated directly to charity.]
"Using my money for charity?" Ye Yunfu couldn't help but frown. "Who came up with this idea? Could it be Xing Tianxia's suggestion? Isn't this a breach of contract?"
[Host, this system has analyzed the specific contract and found that Origin has set a trap in a certain clause, withholding all of the host's agency rights to the contracted work for a total of twenty years. While the copyright still nominally belongs to the host, the host has no right to profit from the contracted work. For example, for film and television adaptations, Origin retains full pricing authority.]
"Does this mean I've been tricked by Yuan Dian?" Ye Yunfu was somewhat reluctant to accept this outcome. "Is such an unfair clause valid?"
From a contract law perspective, if Origin subsequently refuses to share profits, or maliciously sells copyrights at a low price, the host can hire a lawyer and sue the other party. However, based on existing cases, it will take the host at least three to five years of time and effort to win the lawsuit.
"Ultimately, they can only receive the share of profits they were entitled to during the period, and they cannot get the copyright back in advance," Jing Ke added.
"Is there no other way?" Ye Yunfu pinched his brows. "I would rather let readers watch it for free than be disgusted by Yuandian like this."
[The host is the nominal copyright owner. If the host wishes to sell the copyright, they can modify only the names of the main characters and some of the plot and sell the copyright as a fan work.]
Jing Ke spoke slowly, coming up with a crooked idea. "This way, the host has the initiative. If the other party wants to sue, they'll have to spend a lot of time and energy to earn the 20% agency fee."
"What if I sell the copyright for ten thousand yuan?" Ye Yunfu asked.
"In this case, Yuandian might be able to get a share of 2,000 yuan after winning the lawsuit." Jing Ke said slowly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her proposal.
To deal with platforms and institutions that bully and act rogue, we must learn to use their own weapons to attack their shields.
If the other party is playing rogue, then you have to be even more rogue than them and leave them with no way out!
