"Thank you so much, Wang Yan. Or... you take this property deed?"

At the entrance of the bank, just after the mortgage release, Jiang Pengfei looked at the property deed with emotion.

"Uncle Jiang, don't always be so polite. I'll say it again, if you really want to thank me, then live a good life and don't think about the good things of getting rich overnight." Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, patting Jiang Pengfei's arm: "It's useless for me to take this property deed. Can't I trust you? Besides, we have a contract, just be at ease."

Jiang Pengfei rubbed the big red book and nodded repeatedly: "No more tossing, just be down-to-earth in the future. Learn to cook, tidy up housework. Occasionally go out... fishing or something, it's also quite good."

"Hey, that's how it should be. Cooking and doing housework have fun and can also exercise bones. As for fishing, that's even more interesting. I also go fishing occasionally. After you settle down for a while, I'll give you a set of fishing gear, and we'll play together. You took 8 million to pay off debts before, is the money in your hand enough?"

"There are more than 200,000 left. My wife also has some money, and my mother still has some at the bottom of the box, all enough, you don't have to worry."

Wang Yan nodded and smiled: "Uncle Jiang, I'm having people look at Auntie Li's house. Your house will also be listed with an intermediary. Now your debt is paid off, and this period of energy consumption is high. You should rest well, and we'll drink together in a few days. I won't see you off, I have something to do."

"No need to see me off, I'll take a taxi back. You pay attention to safety, don't drive fast."

"Go, Uncle Jiang."

Patting Jiang Pengfei again, giving him some strength, Wang Yan got in the car and left neatly.

He was very sure that Jiang Pengfei wouldn't think of dying now. Because his life was still comfortable, and he still didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Now that he hadn't really lost his family fortune, it felt like he had just lost a house before. The difference was that his asset base couldn't be compared with before. After all, losing 10 million with 100 million, and losing 10 million with 50 million or even 20 million, the pain must be more intense.

Really speaking, Jiang Pengfei's pain might only be twice. Once at the beginning, once at the end. At the beginning, he didn't lose, at the end, he lost big. As for losing so much in the middle, he was already numb; if he wanted to get it, he had to pay first.

This pain of losing money, relative to a good life without much change, would always be smoothed out, so it wasn't a big problem.

Dongli, newly opened by Jingyan Group, was located in Pudong. It didn't take long for Wang Yan to drive there. Following the guidance of the security guards outside, he parked the car. Wang Yan looked at the atmospheric and magnificent sales office, shook his head and smiled, and walked inside.

"Hello, sir, welcome to Dongli, please come this way." There were sales staff on duty at the door. Seeing Wang Yan come in, they had a professional, polite, and gentle smile.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "I'm looking for Apple."

The sales girl's face didn't change, still smiling and nodding: "Sir, Apple is in the rest area over there."

"Thank you."

After thanking her, Wang Yan walked in the direction the girl pointed. Not far from the water bar in the rest area, he saw Big Da Da Bo Lang sitting there chatting with Yang Ke, Zhou Qing, and Tony, each with a glass of lemonade.

Sales is just that good; the biggest rule is that there are no rules. Apple, Zhou Qing, Tony, these three are all sales champion-level players, and their performance for the year is there. Recently, new buildings have been opened, and they have asked everyone they can contact, but external factors have some impact, and they can't sell, so they are just staying there.

"Apple." Wang Yan greeted, didn't move forward, and sat down at the empty table nearby.

Hearing the greeting and seeing Wang Yan sitting down, Apple said a few words to Yang Ke, and then walked over with Yang Ke.

"Brother Yan, let me introduce you. This is our Jingyan Group sales department manager, Yang Ke. He knew you were coming to see the house, so he was waiting for you here."

Wang Yan just sat down, stood up politely again, and shook hands with Yang Ke: "Yang Jingli, hello. I've long heard of Yang Jingli's great name. Jingyan Group has been thriving for so many years, all thanks to you, the sales manager."

Yang Ke waved his hand modestly: "Mr. Wang is over-praising. If our boss hears this, I should be fired tomorrow. I have admired you for a long time. Apple told me that you introduced four clients to her, all of which were concluded. Today I finally thank you in person for your trust and support in our Jingyan Group."

"Sit down and talk." Wang Yan waved his hand. The three sat down, and he said: "What kind of trust and support is it? It's still that Jingyan Group's houses are good. If they weren't good, it would be extremely difficult to take money from the pockets of my friends. Just now Apple said you were waiting for me, didn't she tell you I'm not buying a house?"

"You're joking. It doesn't matter if you buy or not, it's good to understand. I'm just simply thanking you for your support and making friends with you."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Looking at Big Da Da Bo Lang, who was blinking her big eyes, Wang Yan smiled and nodded, took out his phone, opened WeChat, pulled out the QR code: "Add a friend. You also know that I do private equity, and the performance is quite good. If you don't know where to invest your money, you can consider me. Generally, people enter with 20 million, I'll let you in with 10 million, just as a gift from me."

"Then I'll thank you first. This gift of yours is big enough. But maybe I still have to disappoint your kindness. Although I am a sales manager, the money I earn every year is just that much, and I can't compare with people like you. I really don't have that much money, please don't blame me, Mr. Wang."

Yang Ke was only thirty-two or thirty-three. He graduated from university at twenty-two, and it has been ten years now. With his current position, his annual salary should be three or four million, which is including dividends. Before, Wang Yan knew that Yang Ke had been a sales manager for three years, and he should have earned about 15 million in these three years. For the remaining seven years, he entered the industry after graduating from university, one year of learning and accumulation, and the remaining six years, he was a million-dollar sales champion every year, so he should have earned about 10 million.

Plus, in the early years, housing prices in Shanghai were not as terrifying as they are now, and he was a specialist in this, so he might have invested in a few sets. In total, it was about 50 million, and most of it should be real estate, collecting rent.

So Wang Yan just said it, and he didn't think Yang Ke would really invest money with him. Of course, he definitely meant what he said. If Yang Ke really took out 10 million, he would also acknowledge it.

He took the iced sparkling water handed by the waiter at the water bar, shook his head and smiled: "You say your money is not enough now, which is far better than promising me now and having no news later. Don't be so polite, just call me by my name, and don't call me 'you' (polite form), it sounds awkward. Replace wine with water, respect your frankness."

"I don't have many advantages, I just like to tell the truth."

The three of them drank a sip of water, and he continued: "I also have to thank you for yesterday's matter. My subordinate just told me that the intermediary you recommended is good, very well prepared, and very fast."

"This doesn't count as anything, it's just introducing what I can. If you want to talk about it, you have to be righteous. I also learned about some situations from Zhu Suosuo. No relatives, no friends, just met by chance in the park, and you paid tens of millions. Ordinary people can't do this."

Wang Yan smiled. If there were no tasks, he wouldn't care about Jiang Pengfei. After all, doing wrong things, choosing wrong choices, and taking wrong paths, one should pay the price for this; this is what he has always recognized. The price Jiang Pengfei had to pay was bankruptcy and death, but it was just that he couldn't bear the huge gap and strong guilt, which exceeded his upper limit of endurance, so he jumped off the building, which was his own choice.

But now he was helping people, so he could only wave his hand casually: "Fate, I look at fate."

"You are this." Yang Ke gave a thumbs up, then stood up supporting the table: "Then that's it, I won't disturb you. Let Apple show you around, and find me anytime if you have anything."

Wang Yan smiled and nodded, watched Yang Ke leave, and returned to the table to sit down, dealing with the gossiping Zhou Qing and Tony.

Big Da Da Bo Lang said: "When counting the viewings in the morning, I said you were coming, and Yang Ke had nothing to do, so he wanted to see you."

"Go, let's go see the house, and then go to lunch." Wang Yan didn't care about Yang Ke's matter, stood up and left his seat: "Seeing you are so free, come back with me in the afternoon?"

"Aren't you still handling the Jiang family's matter?"

"Basically finished, just waiting for the house to be sold and the money to be returned. If no one takes over, I can only buy it and sell it slowly."

Big Da Da Bo Lang nodded: "Okay, it's good to be able to sleep early at night. I haven't rested well since you tossed me around for a while..."

While Wang Yan was looking at the house with Big Da Da Bo Lang, on the other side, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun, who had asked for leave, were looking at houses with an intermediary.

At this moment, they were still near Fuxing Road, on the third floor of a five-story western-style house. Of course, there were many old houses nearby. Compared with houses built later, the environment of such old houses was actually quite average, after all, public facilities were really poor. However, such houses won in a good geographical location, and surrounding life and transportation were very convenient. What was even more rare was that, like the Jiang family's old house, the outside was the mottled prosperity of the Shanghai Bund, and the inside was a newly renovated modern decoration, and the feeling was not bad.

The house was a three-bedroom, and the living room also had a balcony. Because there were such houses in front, it didn't block the sunlight, which shone directly onto the floor in the room. Although it was very hot indoors, it was also very satisfying, which was derived from human need for sunlight.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window separating the balcony, Zhu Suosuo, wearing a cool short skirt and a tube top, looked up, letting the sunlight shine on her face. In the Tyndall effect, the dust was circling around. At this moment, Zhu Suosuo was beautiful.

"I want this set." She still closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunlight. Although it was rented, today she finally lived in a big house full of sunlight. She was very happy.

Not far behind her, before the female intermediary in a white shirt could speak, Jiang Nansun opened her mouth to dissuade: "Suosuo, don't, okay? Just the two of us living here, how can we live in such a big house? It's not suitable. I think the two-bedroom set we saw just now is very good, and it's much cheaper."

Does Zhu Suosuo lack that money? Obviously not. She shook her head: "Just this set, Nansun, you know, I've always wanted a big house full of sunlight. Although I can't afford to buy it, I can afford to rent it. This dream is fulfilled. Even if you don't live with me, I have to rent a big house myself. Sister Liu, I sincerely rent it, give me a real price, what's the lowest?"

Jiang Nansun looked helplessly at Zhu Suosuo bargaining with the intermediary. Looking at it, she suddenly smiled. She was happy for her good sister's happiness at this moment...

Soon, the price was negotiated. The two followed the intermediary to the store to sign the contract, and returned to this house again.

Zhu Suosuo threw the file bag containing the contract aside, lay on the mattress in the bedroom, stretched her arms, and took a long breath of satisfaction: "Really good."

"When Master Ma was there before, you got money from Jingyan, you could have realized your wish, but you had to spend money extravagantly." Jiang Nansun leaned against the door frame, looking at her good sister who was lying comfortably.

"What's that, it was originally unexpected wealth, it doesn't matter if it's spent. How long has it been? I earned so much money, and now I rented such a house, it will definitely get better and better in the future." Zhu Suosuo didn't care at all, did a sit-up and supported her body: "Alright, alright, don't worry about me, let's hurry up and see how to decorate, see what's missing, and then find a moving company to Sanlin, return your house, and take everything here. Try to move in tomorrow, I tell you, Nansun, I can't wait to live here now."

"Okay, I'll tell Zhang Anren first, and then we'll act." Jiang Nansun took out her phone and typed.

Zhu Suosuo got off the ground, took her phone and opened the shopping software, wandered around the room, looked at what was missing, checked with Jiang Nansun to see if she had it at home, and if not, placed an order on the spot, JD. com next day arrival...

Not feeling sorry for money, there was no choice difficulty, so Zhu Suosuo started very decisively. Messy, regardless of whether it could be used, as long as she felt it could be used, as long as Jiang Nansun, who had professional aesthetics, felt it was good and could match, then buy it. So very quickly, many things that should be bought and shouldn't be bought were bought, and even halfway through, she pre-paid next month's expenses with Wang Yan.

After spending the money, the two contacted the moving company online, Jiang Nansun contacted the landlord to return the rent, and then took a taxi to Sanlin...

The sisters arrived and were talking and laughing to open the door. The door of the next room suddenly opened, and Zhang Anren walked out: "Nansun, Suosuo."

Jiang Nansun looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you at school? Why are you back?"

"You're moving, how can I not come back." Zhang Anren looked at Zhu Suosuo and said: "Let's talk."

Jiang Nansun nodded in agreement, turned back to let Zhu Suosuo go in and pack, and followed him into Zhang Anren's room and sat down in the living room.

Zhang Anren poured a glass of water and put it in front of Jiang Nansun: "Why are you moving suddenly? I asked you why in WeChat, and you didn't reply."

"Don't you know? Why ask? You know the situation of our family. Save where you can. I accompanied Suosuo to rent a new house this morning, and I will borrow to live with her in the future."

Keenly aware that Jiang Nansun's attitude was wrong, Zhang Anren frowned slightly: "But besides the house, the car, and a lot of cash, your family has money invested with Wang Yan. Relying on those dividends, life hasn't changed much, right? The rent here is just a drop in the bucket for you. And I am your boyfriend, you are my girlfriend. If you really want to save money, you can also live here with me, no need to move out, right?"

Jiang Nansun had already had a decline in her impression of Zhang Anren. At this moment, hearing Zhang Anren say she should live here with him, she understood the spirit; Zhang Anren wanted to sleep with her. She wouldn't consider it. It was normal for men and women who had been dating for more than two years to sleep together. She just felt that Zhang Anren's fox tail was exposed, the sheep turned into a gray wolf.

She let out a long breath, looking at Zhang Anren, who seemed impatient in front of her: "It's not that we lack money, but now that such a thing has happened, my dad is sad. You have seen his performance. As the only daughter, I always have to accompany him at home for a while to enlighten him. In the future, I can't be too far away, and I always have to go home to eat and visit. And... Zhang Anren, too many things have happened recently, mine and yours, our family's, and Suosuo's. I've thought about it carefully these two days, and I still feel that our relationship needs to be reconsidered."

"Why? I don't understand, why? Nansun, haven't we always been fine? Why say this suddenly?" Zhang Anren's face was full of grievances; he really didn't understand.

Looking at the silent Jiang Nansun, he tried his best to control his emotions: "Is it because I couldn't help when your family had an accident this time? But you know, my ability is only so much. Your dad lost tens of millions in stocks. Even if I sold my house and land, I couldn't make up for it. What can I help with? And your dad is playing stocks, what's the difference between that and gambling?"

Jiang Nansun stared at him, continuing to be silent, and he continued: "Am I wrong? I'm not Wang Yan, I don't have as much money as him, nor am I as casual as him. Your dad's business, ordinary people wouldn't help even if they had the ability."

"You think I just want you to help?"

A woman's mind can't be guessed, especially like Jiang Nansun now, who only says to consider but doesn't explain the reason. For Zhang Anren, it was a great torture and very aggrieved. No matter how good the temper was, little by little, the blood pressure would rise. And he was a man, dating for two years without even touching her, what's the point of dating? On weekdays, Jiang Nansun's many problems were also suppressed in his heart and never said. Now it's another one. He couldn't hold it. He must want to say loudly, I consider your mother...

"Not this?" Seeing Jiang Nansun still silent, Zhang Anren took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement: "Is it because I didn't protect you when there were so many people? But I've tried my best. Do you know what it feels like to have twenty or thirty burly men staring at you as soon as you open the door? I was also scared at the time. I won't hide it from you, I dreamed of being chased and hacked when I came back. Or are you still counting the Yuan Yuan matter? Yes, Yuan Yuan is my ex-girlfriend, it's my fault for hiding it from you, I really shouldn't have done that.

But you said Yuan Yuan told me she was coming, what can I do? She also knows my mom and my address. If she suddenly came over one day and told you she was my ex-girlfriend, then I wouldn't be able to explain it to you even more. So it's better to avoid trouble, so I didn't tell you. And I told you before, we haven't been in touch for a long time. After I went to college, she and I were two worlds, and it was impossible to be together. Now she has left, and she won't affect our lives at all.

Not this either? Is it because you still can't forget the time I reported Wang Yongzheng? You still think I did something wrong? Didn't Wang Yan tell you? Everything I did was within the procedure, and I was indeed squeezed out. It was not easy to stay at school, and now I have to accompany people with smiles every day at school. Everyone is polite to me. But I know they look down on me. Why? What did I do wrong? I avoided losses for the school, what's wrong with me? You also think Wang Yongzheng is better than me, more confident than me? Pursuing perfection? What's the use of perfection? No matter how fancy the design is, how many people can understand it? And how many people will pay attention to the color difference he said?

Or is it because after experiencing your dad losing the family fortune in stocks, you also think I have no money and no power, and I am not worthy of you, a princess from a rich family?"

Zhang Anren was still calm at first, but the more he said, the more excited he became. He had a lot of bitterness and grievances, but he always suppressed them on weekdays. Emotions need to be expressed; suppressing them for a long time is definitely not a good thing.

Originally, this emotional expression was Jiang Pengfei coming to school to ask him for money, making him embarrassed. But at that time, it was still a public place, and he didn't want to make family ugliness public, so his emotions didn't get a good expression.

Now, things were going well, and Jiang Nansun suddenly wanted to consider it carefully. He couldn't hold it anymore. And it was talking behind closed doors, no need to consider the so-called decency, so it was naturally more intense than the original.

The full expression of emotions inevitably leads to deformation. So looking at Jiang Nansun, who had a cold face, cold eyes, no longer the warm smile of the past, and no longer the doting Zhang Anren, Jiang Nansun, who was already in tears, felt so strange. No longer the gentle and considerate big brother, no longer the perfect man who cared for her in every way.

She stood up and said with a crying voice: "Yes, you are right. Zhang Anren, let's end it here, I'm tired." After speaking, she turned and wanted to open the door and go out.

She didn't want to argue, because it was meaningless. She knew clearly that her good impression of Zhang Anren had declined, and so it was. Zhang Anren's various shortcomings were revealed, and naturally, the more she thought about those bad things, the worse her perception of Zhang Anren became. At this moment, seeing Zhang Anren's explosion again, her emotions were stimulated again, and the words she had hesitated to say before were said very easily. Yes, easy, at this moment, she even felt a sense of relief.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhang Anren grabbed her: "Nansun, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to you. I admit, I was indeed excited just now, but you can't say such irresponsible words. You are angry now, don't make decisions casually. And I don't believe you are that kind of person. Let's both calm down, okay? After calming down, let's talk again. You can't say nothing and break up with me. I think if there is a contradiction, it should be said out. Only by saying it out can the problem be solved, right?"

Willful? Jiang Nansun, a spoiled young lady, of course had a temper. She had even fought with her father, which led to moving out, let alone her boyfriend. She turned around and pushed Zhang Anren's hand away forcefully: "I've thought about it very clearly, and I'm very calm. There's no reason, it's just that we've been together for so long, and after one thing after another, I've had enough. Just like the inexplicable beginning, the end doesn't necessarily have to have a reason. If I have to say one, it's that I'm tired..."

After speaking, she turned, opened the door, and walked out, closing the door with a bang.

Zhang Anren looked at the door blankly. For a long time, he came back to his senses and wanted to do something to vent, but after looking around, he finally gave up this immature idea, hammered the air with hatred, let out a long breath, sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and lay back, reaching out to cover his forehead.

Heavy breathing revealed the turbulent waves in his heart...
