Chapter 506: The Unfathomable Ye Chen
The heartless Jiang Ming, when he left Zhao Zhuoyue's dormitory, suddenly felt a bit guilty for him.
He felt that this kind of person, Zhao Zhuoyue, although hateful, was also truly pitiful.
He was an orphan without father or mother, and he hadn't achieved anything after working hard for so many years, but he found a girlfriend who was such a product.
If he knew that when his girlfriend was scolding him on the phone, she was wantonly enjoying herself under another man, what kind of mood would he be in?
Moreover, he had just emptied all his family assets.
And made him owe more than 500,000 in loans, without exception, all high-interest loans.
It is estimated that after a week, he will have to pay back at least more than 1 million.
It is estimated that after a month, he will have to pay back at least several million.
By that time, he will probably be at the end of his rope, right?
However, he himself was a clay bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself.
There is no way, if one of the two must die, he hopes the other one dies.
Moreover, he hasn't landed yet!
If he wants to land, he has to get at least a few hundred thousand more.
Thinking of this, he no longer sympathized with Zhao Zhuoyue.
Forget it, let him survive first.
At this moment, at the dining table of the Hyatt Hotel, Jiang Ming had become the object of thousands of fingers pointing.
Even his few followers before were all disgusted with him.
While everyone looked down on Jiang Ming, they were also incomparably admiring of Ye Chen.
After all, someone who could donate 1 million to the orphanage casually definitely didn't just have 1 million.
Everyone realized that they had underestimated Ye Chen before.
Many people, in order to curry favor with Ye Chen, kept saying good things about him, toasting him, and even groveling to him.
Ye Chen didn't have any arrogance, but he wasn't too humble either. He always maintained an indifferent attitude, making people feel somewhat unfathomable.
Zhao Hao waited until everyone had toasted Ye Chen. He picked up a glass of wine and said seriously, "Ye Chen, thank you for everything you have done for the orphanage. I toast you!"
Ye Chen looked at him and nodded lightly.
Except for Aunt Li and Li Xiaofen, Zhao Hao was the first person to toast him because he donated money to the orphanage.
The other people, they toasted him not because he donated money to the orphanage, but because they found that he seemed to be a rich man.
These are two completely different starting points. Those who toast for the orphanage are truly concerned about the orphanage; those who toast him are all hoping to climb up to him.
After all, for these friends, someone who could casually take out 1 million to donate to the orphanage is definitely not simple and has far exceeded their cognitive scope.
Ye Chen drank a glass of wine with Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao sighed sincerely, "Ye Chen, seeing that you can have today, I am really very gratified! Back then, I felt that you were different from everyone else. I don't know why, but I felt you were very powerful back then, and I felt you would definitely have a future! I didn't expect you to be so generous!"
Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "When we slept on the construction site together back then, we were very happy if we could eat enough every day. Every month when we got paid, we could be extravagant, buy two small dishes, buy a few bottles of beer, and drink together in the construction site shed. In my opinion, that was the greatest satisfaction."
After a pause, Ye Chen added, "Because of that experience, I don't have many requirements for material things now. Eating better, dressing better, using better, living better—in my opinion, it really doesn't mean much."
Zhao Hao nodded seriously, "Brother, I understand what you said. Back then, we did the same work, but I saved all the money I earned, hoping to use it as capital to turn over; but you donated all the money you earned to the orphanage. At that time, I felt that I might not be as good as you in my life, because your pattern is much bigger than mine!"
After saying that, Zhao Hao sighed lightly and laughed at himself, "Facts have proved that I really don't have much future."
Ye Chen said seriously, "Brother, don't belittle yourself at any time. As long as you can be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of your conscience, and worthy of yourself, even if your material life is not so good, you are also a very happy person."
As he spoke, he added, "Look at the world, how many rich people have made a fortune by doing bad things, and how many poor people are racking their brains to grab, steal, cheat, and take a little from others. There are too few people who can be worthy of their conscience!"
Xiao Churan listened to Ye Chen's words silently, and suddenly felt that the image of her husband became glorious at this moment, in her heart.
From his donation to the orphanage to the words he said now, she looked at him with new eyes.
Zhao Hao drank some wine and was a bit dizzy, so he was a bit impulsive at this time. He held Ye Chen's hand, his eyes red, and said, "Ye Chen, I have been muddled for more than 20 years. Today you made me understand. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have left back then. I went to Haicheng because I always thought about turning over, making a fortune, and becoming a superior person. In these years, I have never thought about actively giving back to the orphanage that raised me. Now that I think about it, I am really ashamed in my heart..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Zhao Hao, a person must first be good to himself, and then help the world. If you are unable to take care of yourself, I don't want you to donate your limited money to the orphanage, so you must take care of yourself first. We are all from bitter days, without family, without reliance, we can only rely on ourselves. At this time, we must treat ourselves well and let ourselves live well first."
Zhao Hao cried out, choked, "You persuade me like this, why don't you do it yourself? I know, when Aunt Li was sick, you gave all the money you could find to Aunt Li. At that time, why didn't you think about letting yourself live better first?"
Ye Chen said awkwardly, "Our situation is different after all. I am married, but you are not."
As he spoke, Ye Chen took Xiao Churan's hand and said to Zhao Hao, "Everyone in Jin Ling knows that I am a famous soft-rice king. I eat my wife's, drink my wife's, use my wife's, and live in my wife's. With such a good wife, I don't have to spend a cent myself, and I can eat and dress well. In this case, money is useless."
Xiao Churan was suddenly held by Ye Chen, and her heart suddenly felt like a deer bumping.
Listening to these words from Ye Chen, she was moved incomparably.
She felt that at this moment, she had a few more understandings of her husband.
But at the same time, she also felt that at this moment, she was a few more strangers to her husband.
Once upon a time, she once thought that her husband had no future, no ambition, and was just a coward who didn't dare to talk back when scolded and didn't dare to fight back when beaten.
But now, she felt that her husband seemed to be much more unfathomable than she imagined!
