Chapter 30 We Met on First June Last Year
"Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye!"
Both Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng shouted anxiously at the same time.
It seemed like they were worried that Ye Chen would let others benefit from it instead of letting the two of them take advantage of it.
However, it was not the case.
At present, their wealth was not very abundant.
But it did not mean that they would give great emphasis to merely three or five million.
They were just worried and scared that Ye Chen would suffer losses.
After all, it was not exaggerating the facts to claim that Ye Chen had bestowed new lives upon them.
If Ye Chen could resell those two deposit orders to them, they would certainly not let Ye Chen suffer any losses. With that deposit of one hundred thousand, they could offer one or two million or even higher.
But if he resold them to others, that kind of price was impossible, because the other party would try and weigh whether it was worthy or not.
Besides, the two of them were well aware of Ye Chen's economic condition. For Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng, one million more or less was nothing much. But it was not a small amount for Ye Chen.
Hence, they wanted to help Ye Chen maximize his interests.
However...
How could Ye Chen, who had lived twice, be unable to discern their thoughts?
But Ye Chen did not want to accept their kindness.
It was because he would be indebted to them if he accepted it.
He did not want to be indebted to others.
On the other hand, he could indeed earn more if he resold the deposit orders to Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng. But since he was born and equipped with the memories of the future sixty years as if he was a prophet, how would he care for that merely one million?
He shook his head slightly.
Ye Chen said, "General Manager Zhang, General Manager Li, I appreciate your kindness. But I do things based on my principles. It's fine even if I earn less. But if I'm indebted to others, I'll feel uncomfortable all over. Besides, I don't think that the two of you will want to bring up the prices of these houses in Jin Lin Mansion given your strength. It's even more far-fetched if you guys want to stay there. It'll take one or two years before they're able to hand over the houses in Jin Lin Mansion. And the surrounding relocation planning will only be completed in three to five years. Why will you care for that?"
This...
Both Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were instantly struck speechless.
They wanted to speak again, but they did not know how to answer that.
After all, everything Ye Chen said was logical.
However, they were startled at Ye Chen's principle in which he was not at all blinded by money. He had also improved his principle of not owing others a favor.
Was he the kind of gambling addict who did not do his job well and just wanted to get rich?
Nonsense!
Seeing that both Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng had ceased talking, Ye Chen spoke to that noble middle-aged couple again.
"I have got two deposit orders. It's fine even if you want to buy one or two. But the price is yet to be fixed. I want to see how much the opening price established by the sales department today is. Is that okay?"
"Two sets?" The middle-aged couple was slightly surprised.
But they still nodded. "Fine. Then let's go to the sales department now?"
"Sure!"
Ye Chen took the lead and walked toward the sales department.
He was followed by the middle-aged couple, Zhang Jingshan, and Li Changfeng.
But they had just taken a few steps.
A person shouted with uncertain hesitation.
"Mr. Ye?"
Hmm?
Ye Chen subconsciously stopped walking and turned around to look over.
A slightly familiar face appeared in front of him, but he did not quite recall who that was.
He had distinct memories of his previous life after he returned from his rebirth. But those clear memories were for the next sixty years.
There was no such effect in his memories before that.
That was a lady of a certain age, but she was still a charming lady. Her striking literary temperament revealed an intellectual charm.
In Ye Chen's impression, she was seemingly familiar, but it was all very vague.
"Are you addressing me?" asked Ye Chen in bewilderment.
"Aren't you Mr. Ye Chen?" She walked over.
"Yes. Are we acquaintances?" asked Ye Chen.
She knitted her brows. "Then I didn't mistake you for someone else. You're Ye Youyou's father, right? We met each other on the first of June last year!"
Youyou?
The first of June?
Ye Chen was enlightened.
He recalled the scene during Children's Day on the first of June last year.
The kindergarten where Youyou studied had organized a joint performance.
As the parents of the participating children, they had to attend it.
At first, Chen Yinuo would go that day. But she had some work arrangements at the last minute, and she could not leave. Hence, Ye Chen had no choice but to rush there.
During that day, not only was he unkempt and reeked of alcohol since he was suffering from a hangover, he even had a dispute with the other children's parents. He nearly caused the children's joint performance to stop. And that was also the time when Yinuo became entirely disappointed in him after that incident. As a result, there was an unprecedented quarrel. In that quarrel, he beat Chen Yinuo up again.
At that moment, he heard the charming lady in front of him mention Youyou and the first of June.
Ye Chen soon said subconsciously, "Are you a teacher at Youyou's kindergarten?"
"That's right. I'm Zhou Xiaolan, the vice-principal of Bauhinia Kindergarten. We met each other on the first of June last year!"
When Zhou Xiaolan mentioned again that they had met each other on the first of June last year, her expression was slightly strange.
After all, it was an unforgettable day for them and Bauhinia Kindergarten.
Of course. Ye Chen had become the most unforgettable special existence for them.
If not, she would not have easily recognized Ye Chen, who she had only met once and who had never gone to the kindergarten to pick up Ye Youyou.
"You're Principal Zhou. Nice to meet you. Did you come here to buy a house too?"
Ye Chen stretched his hand out politely and said, smiling.
She shook hands with him politely. But she only did it symbolically before she immediately let go of his hand.
If it was not for professional ethics, she did not even want to speak to that parent who had caused a great mess at the kindergarten on the first of June last year.
After that, she glanced at the deposit orders in Ye Chen's hands before she said, "Mr. Ye, you have the money to buy houses, but you couldn't even pay for Youyou's school fees? Please allow me to take the liberty and say something rude. Is there any parent like you?"
"What did you say? Youyou can't afford the school fees?" Ye Chen was stunned.
"Youyou didn't come to the kindergarten more than a month ago. Don't you know that?" asked Zhou Xiaolan in doubt.
"I didn't know. Her mother didn't tell me!" Ye Chen appeared solemn.
"There are two payment systems in the kindergarten. One of them is to pay for one semester at a time. As for the other, we consider that some families may be short of funds. So, we launched the method of paying the fees at two separate times for each semester. It was the date to pay for the separate fee one month ago. At that time, Youyou's mother told me that she was short of funds temporarily. So, she wanted to transfer Youyou to an ordinary kindergarten. In that instant, the kindergarten suggested giving her more time, but she refused it. At first, I thought that you guys were short of money. But I didn't expect that you would have the money to buy houses, and you were unwilling to pay for Youyou's school fees.
"Although the school fees of Bauhinia Kindergarten are indeed not cheap, the teachers and various conditions there are considered one of the very best at Jiang Zhou other than some noble kindergartens. Besides, Youyou had been studying there for two years. She was always quite happy. She also got along well with the other children. Now you guys suddenly transferred her to an ordinary kindergarten. It's fine if your family's economic condition has turned bad. But you guys have the money to buy houses, and you're unwilling to let your child study at a better school. Are there any parents like you guys?"
Zhou Xiaolan could not help but rebuke him. She even ignored the fact that there were others beside them.
As an educator, she despised those parents who looked down upon their children's education.
She despised that kind of parent more, who had the means but ignored the fact that their children's growing and learning environment had become worse.
Damn it! That was too terrible!
