I'm going home tomorrow.
The four of them were closing their eyes and getting ready to sleep when Lin Wei muttered something under her breath.
She hadn't intended for anyone to respond, but to her surprise, the other three were all awake.
Wang Ying said, "You can't go back tomorrow. You have a full afternoon of classes and evening self-study. There's enough time in between for dinner."
Zhang Yanyan said, "Yes, there's enough time in between for a meal, so you won't be able to go back tomorrow."
Anjing hurriedly asked, "What are you taking leave for?"
"I'm going to take my aunt to buy gold. Gold is a commodity in times of chaos, and a good investment in times of prosperity. Gold is cheap right now, so I'm going to buy a lot to keep at home."
Zhang Yanyan suddenly laughed, "Your idea is very good. It's easy for poor people to go astray when they suddenly become rich. Buy gold for your family to store. With the gold on them and no money, they are less likely to cause trouble."
She said quietly, "But there's no rush, because you really don't have time tomorrow. Go back on Saturday, and your aunt will be off on Sunday, so we can go shopping together."
Wang Ying thought for a moment, then stuck her head out to look at them, "Should we buy gold too?"
“Yingying, you can buy it if you want, but definitely not now. We’re staying in the dorms after all. What if someone sees gold on us and tries to break into the dorms without us? There are so many people in the school, they won’t be able to find us anywhere,” Zhang Yanyan analyzed.
"Even though it's only 2,000 yuan, I'm still considered a poor person who suddenly became rich. Aren't you all like that? Otherwise, why are you still awake at this hour?"
All four of them laughed. "When a poor person suddenly becomes rich, even if the money is in their bank account, they can't sleep at night."
-
After a period of playful banter, the four of them stayed awake until dawn.
Finally, Saturday arrived. Lin Wei packed her things and excitedly ran home.
As soon as she reached the alley entrance, Uncle Li saw her and praised, "Oh my, Weiwei is back! You're such a promising child."
Lin Wei was full of questions. She hadn't done anything recently, so why was she being praised?
When she got home, Lin Yuan answered her question.
"Sister, you're in the newspaper, on the front page."
Lin Wei took a look and saw that it was the photo from the ribbon-cutting ceremony that had made the headlines of the next day's newspaper.
Lin Wei was brought up by Shen Jize, and the two of them stood in the center of the newspaper, which was hardly eye-catching.
"I had no idea. No wonder some classmates have been watching me at school these past few days."
However, she was so focused on the gold that she didn't think much about it at all.
In addition, I was so busy with schoolwork every day that I naturally didn't have time to read the newspaper.
"I didn't know about this. How did you know to buy a newspaper?"
Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Uncle Li saw it and told me. As soon as I saw it was my sister, I used my pocket money to buy several copies. It's an honor for my sister to be in the newspaper, so I wanted to keep it."
Moreover, the newspaper also noted that Lin Wei, the chief designer of the project, was a sophomore at Jiangcheng University.
If the person in the newspaper wasn't her, she would definitely say, "The younger generation is truly formidable."
But since it's her, I feel embarrassed to praise her.
"Keep this safe, you must keep it safe, you might not have the chance to be in the newspaper again."
Such a joyous occasion couldn't be celebrated at home, so they invited their neighbor Lin Wei to go out and prepare two more tables.
Zhang Min laughed and said, "It feels like good things happen every day since Weiwei moved in. It's the same with eating out. We used to rarely eat out, but lately we've been eating out a lot."
"Is it good or not?" Gao Huifang asked.
"Of course it's the best thing. Who wouldn't want to eat and drink well? But Weiwei, you need to be patient when you're making money. All that money you're making outside will be gone in a few days."
"Aunt Zhang, I'm just too excited. In this life, how many times can you be in the newspaper, and on the front page no less? I have to celebrate."
Knowing that Lin Wei had money, everyone treated her without being polite and enjoyed a delicious meal, which also helped to strengthen their relationships.
The next day.
Lin Wei went to Lin Xiaomeng's room very early in the morning.
"Gu."
Lin Xiaomeng had just gotten up when she saw Lin Wei acting suspiciously. She sighed helplessly, "What have you been up to now?"
"My design fee has been approved. Guess how much it is?"
"A few thousand dollars? No, tens of millions wouldn't be worth this much. Tens or twenty thousand?"
Lin Wei clicked her tongue and said, "Go ahead and guess."
Lin Xiaomeng took this seriously now. "1, 2, aren't you bold enough? 50,000?"
"Be bolder."
Lin Xiaomeng was so startled that she put down her water glass. "It can't be 100,000, can it?"
"180,000, 180,000."
Lin Xiaomeng gasped, "No, this is too much, 180,000, you didn't miscount, did you?"
"No, it's 180,000. It's the money I earned before. I have a total of 270,000 on hand."
This is an astronomical figure.
In the past, having ten thousand yuan was something many people envied.
But Lin Wei didn't just have 10,000 yuan; she had 270,000 yuan. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how much that amount of money could possibly be.
"You child, don't tell everyone. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives heard about it."
"I won't tell you, I'll just tell you, Auntie. I want to buy gold. The price of gold is 120 yuan per gram right now. I feel a bit uncomfortable carrying this money around. I might as well buy some gold."
"Gold?" That's how the older generation thinks. Buying some gold and storing it at home would indeed be a good suggestion.
"Okay, shall we go in a bit?"
"Um."
The three of them tidied up, ate breakfast, and then went to the jewelry store.
Considering the current wage ratio, gold is not cheap, but gold shops are always packed with people.
Even if it's just early in the morning.
"Auntie, this chain is nice, the design is really pretty."
Lin Wei immediately took a liking to the necklace in the display case.
Lin Xiaomeng glanced at it and said, "It's indeed quite good."
"Can I try them on?"
The waiter immediately came over and said, "Okay."
As soon as the waiter brought out the necklace, Lin Wei put it around Lin Xiaomeng's neck without thinking.
"It's so beautiful."
Lin Xiaomeng was stunned. "You child, try it yourself. How can you tell the difference by testing it on me?"
"I'm so young, why would I wear a gold necklace? This is for my aunt to see. Aunt, please don't be so polite with me."
Before Lin Xiaomeng could react, Lin Wei picked out five thin necklaces, two thick necklaces, seven rings, and five bracelets, one of which was for her own use.
It's quite substantial.
"I want all of these, is there anything else?"
The waiter was delighted and immediately said, "Earrings? You haven't chosen earrings yet."
"This, this, this, I'll take all three." Turning her head, Lin Wei asked, "Auntie, do you see if there are any other styles you like?"
"No, no, you bought too much."
Lin Xiaomeng wasn't worried about Lin Wei spending money; she could spend as much of her own money as she wanted, and Lin Xiaomeng wouldn't interfere.
But to outsiders, it's never a good look.
Lin Wei immediately explained loudly, "Auntie, it's not that we bought them ourselves. They asked us to bring them, and we can't have too few. Hey, two more pairs of these earrings should be enough."
