TVSFPAG -Chapter 63 If You Spend It All, Just Earn It Again

Song Yunfei said, “This is your card. You should keep it yourself.”

With this guy’s grudging personality, if he later remembered that she had been holding onto his salary card and even had to ask her for his 500 yuan each month, he might want to strangle her.

Moreover, Song Yunfei was about to start earning money herself, so keeping his card didn’t really serve any purpose. Right now, the best approach was to leave a good impression wherever possible.

Chu Jinhan fixed his gaze on her, his eyes intense. After a long while, he slowly spoke, “Back then, you said a boyfriend’s salary should be given to his girlfriend to manage.”

Song Yunfei let out a dry, awkward laugh inwardly, silently complaining—just how many traps had the original owner left for her?

She coughed lightly and forced a smile. “I was just worried I’d spend recklessly and end up wasting your money.”

Chu Jinhan reached out his hand, but instead of taking the card, he pushed it back toward her.

“Keep it. Money is meant to be spent. If it’s all spent, just earn it again.”

“Uh…” Song Yunfei didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

An idea suddenly struck her. She took the man’s slender hand and placed the bank card into his palm. “Aren’t we planning to buy a car and a house? If I keep the card and accidentally spend it all, what will we use then?”

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Chu Jinhan grasped her hand in return and placed the card back into her palm.

“If it’s all spent, then we’ll earn it again. Or do you think, in your eyes, I can only earn this little money?”

Song Yunfei was once again left speechless, unable to find a rebuttal.

If she hadn’t already known his identity in advance, she would have thought she had encountered a scammer.

Before she could say anything, Chu Jinhan had already changed the topic. “Aren’t you going to work today?”

Song Yunfei sat down awkwardly, glancing at the bank card in her hand, then shook her head. “Zhang Tao gave me a week off, so I won’t be going to work with you.”

Chu Jinhan said, “That’s fine. Since you’re not feeling well, rest at home. I’ll leave the electric scooter here for you, so you won’t have to squeeze onto the bus if you go out.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll take the bus.”

Song Yunfei declined his offer. “Forget it. I don’t go out much anyway. You should ride the scooter to work instead of taking the bus.”

“It’s fine. I’m used to it.”

His words left Song Yunfei speechless once again.

After a brief hesitation, Chu Jinhan added, “There’s a company dinner tonight. Will you come with me?”

Song Yunfei shook her head repeatedly. “No, no, you go yourself.”

The original owner had previously gone to his workplace and left a bad impression on those people—she didn’t want to go there and be laughed at.

“Alright, then rest well. I’ll come back early.”

After saying that, Chu Jinhan got up, went to the bathroom to change clothes, and then left.

After he left, Song Yunfei slumped her shoulders, feeling an increasing sense of urgency.

If the plot didn’t change, Chu Jinhan would be taken back within a year. How could she get herself to a safe place within that time?

She even lost interest in breakfast and took out her phone to look up overseas strategies.

From what she found, there were several ways to go abroad.

A tourist visa allowed only a short stay—not suitable.

A business visa—no need to think about it, also not suitable.

That left only immigration visas and student visas, which allowed longer stays abroad.

Excluding immigration as an option, the only remaining choice for her was a student visa.

Song Yunfei felt she could start preparing now—take the TOEFL exam and then go abroad under the guise of studying.

That would be the safest approach.

After studying abroad for a few years, by the time she returned, Chu Jinhan would surely have forgotten about all this.

So, her next goals were clear: earn money and prepare for the TOEFL.

Song Yunfei quickly finished breakfast, fed the dog, washed the dishes, and took Qianqian out for a walk.

While walking the dog, she negotiated with a computer seller online.

After her persistent efforts, she finally reached a deal with a seller.

For a price of 3000 yuan, she bought a desktop computer with an RTX 3050 Ti, 16GB RAM, a 12-core processor, a 256GB SSD, in about 95% new condition, and it also came with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

What’s more, it wasn’t far away, and it would be delivered the next day.

Song Yunfei paid without hesitation and waited for the computer to arrive at her home.

At last, she could begin working in her professional field. She didn’t want to stay in that shabby house even for a single day longer.

On the other side.

After finishing a meeting, Chu Jinhan returned to his workstation.

As soon as he logged into WeChat, Wu Wei sent him a series of messages.

After returning home yesterday, Wu Wei had scraped together another 10,000 yuan, bringing his total principal to 20,000 yuan.

Among that, 5,000 yuan was stolen from his father. Unfortunately, he was caught during the theft and ended up being beaten twice with a stick.

Now, he no longer dared to go home.

[Brother Chu! Brother Chu, are you there? I’ve gathered the money—20,000! A full 20,000. What should we buy today? Waiting for your call.]

[I got caught by my dad last night while scraping together the money and got hit twice. Brother Chu, just tell me what to buy—I won’t even blink!]

Looking at the messages in the chat box, Chu Jinhan rubbed his temples.

He ignored Wu Wei and first opened a stock trading app to study for a while.

Half an hour later, he switched back to the chat interface and typed:

[Code 600XXX, current price around 8.5, go all in.]

Wu Wei replied almost instantly:

[Got it, bro!]

A few minutes later, Wu Wei sent a screenshot:

[Brother Chu, bought it. What do we do next?]

[Wait for my message. If I don’t tell you to sell, don’t move a single share.]

[Understood, understood. Don’t worry, Brother Chu, I won’t touch it!]

Chu Jinhan closed the chat window. At that moment, the internal office phone rang. He picked it up.

“Xiao Chu, come to my office.” It was Manager He.

Chu Jinhan hung up and walked to Manager He’s office.

As soon as he entered, he saw Manager He frowning deeply, sighing repeatedly.

“Manager He, what’s wrong?”

Manager He glanced at him and let out another long sigh. “Something’s gone wrong!”

“The factory space upstairs that we had already negotiated and were about to lease—someone else has backed out!”

Chu Jinhan frowned slightly. “What happened?”

Manager He rubbed his forehead, looking troubled. “Things were going smoothly before. We were just about to sign the contract, but the landlord suddenly changed their mind. They’re willing to forfeit the deposit rather than rent to us. I suspect someone is interfering behind the scenes.”

“Also, our current workshop lease is only two months from expiry. The investment office just called me as well, asking us to prepare early—they likely won’t renew our lease.”

“We’ve just signed so many orders. If we suddenly relocate the factory now, it’ll likely delay delivery timelines.”

Since many employees were local or from nearby areas, moving the factory would take time. After relocation, at least half of the workers might not follow, meaning they would have to recruit new staff again.

All things considered, even under the smoothest circumstances, it would take at least half a month to settle things—and that’s the best-case scenario.

After Manager He finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

After a while, Manager He looked up at Chu Jinhan. “Do you have any thoughts?”

Chu Jinhan replied, “Manager He probably already has a guess about who’s behind this. So what are your thoughts?”

Manager He ran a hand through his hair in frustration and continued sighing.
