Chen Ze put the 600,000 yuan into a backpack and then took a taxi to the bank.
There happened to be a Bank of China right across the street from the Starry Sky Internet Cafe, and it was only a five-minute walk away.
After getting off the bus, I walked into the bank with cheerful steps. Fortunately, there weren't many people this morning, and I only had to wait in line for one number before it was my turn.
When he took out stacks of hundred-yuan bills, the bank teller looked at the young man, who was even younger than herself, in shock. She was amazed that he could produce so much money. In 2010, 600,000 yuan was definitely considered a fortune.
The girl smiled sweetly at him, "Handsome, are you looking for a life-existing or fixed-term deposit?"
Without the slightest hesitation, he replied, "Miss, could you please open a current account for me and also help me set up online banking? Thank you!"
"The interest rates on fixed deposits are quite high, would you like to reconsider?"
"Thank you, but I don't need to earn interest. I'm a businessman, and I can withdraw the money whenever I want."
Seeing his determination, the bank clerk didn't say anything more. After completing the formalities, the fat man called again to urge him to hurry up.
He could only quicken his pace to walk out, but after only a few steps he ran into Huang Xinyi and his best friend Liang Xiaoman. At the same time, Huang Xinyi also saw him coming out of the bank.
He then asked, "Chen Ze, what are you doing in the bank?"
He glanced at Huang Xinyi and said coldly, "Go to the bank and get a loan to go online."
Liang Xiaoman chuckled, "You're hilarious, you need a loan just to go online?"
Seeing his wife, who had cheated on him in his past life, he gritted his teeth in hatred and had a strong urge to kill her.
Huang Xinyi smiled sweetly and said, "Chen Ze, there's a really delicious Sichuan hot pot place on the pedestrian street across the street. Would you like to treat us two beauties to a meal there?"
Chen Ze said coldly, "If you like it, then go eat it. I don't have time. I'm going online."
"You wouldn't even treat me to a meal of spicy hot pot, yet you keep saying you like me. Where's your sincerity?" Huang Xinyi questioned.
"I admit I used to really like you, but you rejected me. Now, I'm not even interested in dating."
"I only said I didn't want to be in a relationship so early, I didn't say you couldn't pursue her. As the man who is pursuing her, shouldn't you persist to win her over?"
"I chased you for three years in high school, running errands for you every day, bringing you breakfast and late-night snacks... As long as you posted on QQ that you wanted to eat something, I would immediately buy it for you. I was a simp for three years in high school, and all I got in return was your words, 'I don't want to date so early.' My deeds are enough to move heaven and earth, but they can't move you at all."
After saying that, Chen Ze quickly left and walked towards the internet cafe across the street.
Watching Chen Ze's departing figure, Huang Xinyi said angrily, "Xiaoman, do you think I'm wrong? I really just didn't want to be in a relationship so early, and I never said I didn't like him. How could he give up on pursuing me?"
"Could this be a ploy of playing hard to get? Maybe he'll come back to you in a few days."
"That must be it. I can understand him being upset because I rejected him yesterday."
"..."
In the internet cafe, Chen Ze and his friend were having a great time playing QQ Speed.
After playing for about ten minutes, Chen Ze felt bored and stopped playing. After all, how could a forty-year-old soul possibly play a child's game?
"Why did you stop playing?" the fat man asked, looking at him strangely.
"I'm tired of it, it's boring, I've lost interest in games now."
The fat man looked at him with disdain and said irritably, "What else can we do at our age if not play games? Pick up girls? If you can invite a few girls out to play together, I'd be happy to go with you."
Chen Ze shook his head. "I'm not interested in games or picking up girls. What I like to do most right now is make money."
The fat man handed him a cigarette and chuckled, "You asked me for three hundred yuan yesterday, did you use it to gamble on football last night?"
He gave the fat man a thumbs up, "You guessed it! I won over two million last night, and I'm planning to use the money to invest in real estate in your neighborhood today."
The fat man looked at him suspiciously. “Looking at how serious you are, I think you should apply to film school. Your acting skills are impeccable. You can win more than two million with three hundred dollars. I admit I’m fat, but I’m not stupid.”
Seeing that the fat man didn't believe him, he took out the deposit slip from his bag and handed it to him.
The fat man took the receipt and looked at it. He stood up in shock and exclaimed, "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... two... two million six hundred thousand! Godfather, please accept my bow!"
Chen Ze waved his hand and said, "You unfilial son, get off the plane now and come with your father to make money."
Okay.
As the two exited the internet cafe, Chen Ze asked, "Are you planning to attend a junior college in Guangcheng?"
"Holy crap, godfather is awesome, you guessed it all."
In his previous life, Fatty did indeed attend a junior college in Guangcheng, majoring in computer science, but after graduating, he chose to become a landlord.
Chen Ze put his arm around his shoulder and laughed, "We've been deskmates for so many years, don't I know your grades? By the way, is there anyone in your neighborhood who wants to sell their house? Can you help me find out?"
"You can ask a real estate agent or check the bulletin board in our community. People often post listings for houses for sale there."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, let's take a taxi back to the neighborhood and take a look. We didn't go to the real estate agent again."
Shortly after, the two got out of the car at the entrance of Lijing Residential Complex.
The fat man led him to the bulletin board, where they found two houses for sale. One was for a fifth-floor owner named Li Jiaren, and the other was for a seventh-floor owner named Liu Dayong.
"Fatty, do you know this Liu Dayong?"
"Yes, I know him. He's Liu Haijun's dad from our class. He sells roast goose. I heard from my dad that he's planning to sell his house and invest in opening a fresh food supermarket."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze realized that this Liu Haijun was the same person who had slept with his wife Liang Xiaoman in his previous life, causing him to lose face and suffer severe psychological trauma.
He decided that he had to intercept Liu Haijun's father's initial startup capital no matter what. If he wasn't mistaken, Liu Haijun's father had most likely received demolition compensation, which was why he was able to open the fresh food supermarket.
This kind of old residential area is worth at most 300,000 yuan, and it's absolutely impossible to open a large fresh food supermarket with 300,000 yuan.
So Chen Ze took out his phone and quickly dialed the number on it. The call was answered soon, and a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end.
Hello, who is this?
"Hello, are you Mr. Liu Dayong?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Are you planning to sell your apartment in Lijing Residential Area? I'd like to go up and take a look. What do you think...?"
"You're here to look at the house? Wait five minutes, I'll be right back."
Liu Dayong put down the kitchen knife and instructed his son and wife, "You two watch the shop here. Someone wants to buy our old house in Lijing Community. I'll go back and open the door for them."
"Go and come back quickly. There will be a lot of people eating lunch, and the navy and I won't be able to handle it all," his wife instructed.
"knew."
After taking off his apron and hat, Liu Dayong got on his electric motorcycle and hurriedly headed towards Lijing Residential Area.
