After my divorce, I started to have good luck
Chapter 182 - 127: The Blind Date Routine_2

Chapter 182: Chapter 127: The Blind Date Routine_2

Chen Feng picked up his phone to check the time, 9:30, still quite a while until lunch.

"It’s already 9:30, aren’t you going to open your store?"

Lin Yujiao rolled her eyes at the question and said, "Can you please stop dodging the subject? We’ve bumped into each other twice today by chance, which must mean we have some fate. Even if we aren’t meeting for a blind date, can’t you just chat with me and satisfy my curiosity?"

She had a point. He had nothing better to do, and chatting with a beauty like Lin Yujiao sounded like a good way to pass the time.

"Alright. Since you’re interested, I’ll just tell you. My ex-wife and I were in love, and from the time we met to our divorce, it lasted about five years. I mentioned earlier why we divorced, the main reason being that I was broke and lazy back then, lacked ambition, which disappointed her, and naturally, our feelings faded. Then I just felt it was pointless and took the initiative to speak to her about it; we parted on good terms, amicably, without ever having a real fight."

"How did you become rich afterward?"

Lin Yujiao was quite good at getting to the crux of the matter.

"After the divorce, my luck suddenly changed for the better, my wealth exploded, and I casually bought a lottery ticket and won, well, several hundred thousand. That’s why I had the money to invest in this car detailing shop."

"Really? No way!" Lin Yujiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Really, I have no reason to lie to you, do I? Later on, I also traded stocks, and luck was on my side there too; I made some money. Barely managed to achieve financial independence."

"Are you still working in Xiu Zhou? I heard from your mom that you worked for a big company in Xiu Zhou, with a monthly salary of almost ten thousand."

"I quit that job. But, my family doesn’t know, I don’t want to tell them just yet, keep it a secret for me."

"Ah, so what are you doing on your own in Xiu Zhou? Trading stocks?"

"Yeah, now I’m a full-time stock trader."

"How much have you made from stock trading?"

Chen Feng smiled and replied, "Now that’s a question straight out of a blind date interrogation. Besides, how much I’ve earned is my privacy. I’m not going to tell you."

Lin Yujiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just genuinely curious. I know people who trade stocks, but they mostly end up losing money over a few years, and even if they earn some, it’s only temporary before they lose it again."

"So what you mean is, stock trading isn’t reliable, right?"

Lin Yujiao smiled but didn’t say anything, which was as good as admitting it.

In the eyes of conventional people, stock trading is like being an internet writer; if you do it full-time, everyone tends to think it’s unreliable.

"Alright. All I can tell you is that I’ve made quite a bit of money in the stock market, enough to ensure a very comfortable life in Xiu Zhou, free from worry about food and clothing."

"Can’t you give me a ballpark figure? I’m really quite curious."

"Why don’t you tell me how much money you have first?"

Lin Yujiao stiffened and said grudgingly, "Forget it if you don’t want to talk about it."

Chen Feng looked at her up and down with a hint of suggestiveness and said with a smile, "Looks like you care a lot about money."

"Duh! Who doesn’t care about money?" Lin Yujiao shot back, "Don’t tell me you don’t care about money?"

Chen Feng replied matter-of-factly, "I really don’t care that much about money right now."

Lin Yujiao gave a small pout.

"Don’t disbelieve me," Chen Feng said seriously, "when you have a lot of money, it really just becomes a number."

"Well, since you don’t care about money, why don’t you sponsor me a bit, send me a few red packets then?" Lin Yujiao teased.

"Sure. Scan my WeChat."

Caught off guard, Lin Yujiao promptly pulled out her phone, opened it, and pointed the QR code at him, "Go ahead and scan."

With a ’ding’, the scan was successful, and they added each other as friends.

Then Chen Feng sent her five consecutive red packets, each worth the maximum of 200 yuan, totaling exactly one thousand.

Lin Yujiao opened the first one and found it to be 200 yuan, and the second was the same, then the third... all adding up to a thousand.

She stared at Chen Feng in surprise for a while before saying, "You actually sent me a red packet."

"It’s just a thousand yuan. Not much. You’ve been chatting with me for so long, so it’s like treating you to tea."

Chen Feng waved his hand casually, exuding an air of smugness.

He sent out 5 red packets in a row, a total of a thousand yuan. That can’t be considered little, especially since they had just met.

Of course, it couldn’t be said to be a lot either, but it did show that Chen Feng was generous, not stingy.

Generous people are liked by everyone, and Lin Yujiao was no exception.

"Then I definitely won’t return it to you," Lin Yujiao tested the waters.

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile, "It’s just a thousand yuan. I’ve sent it to you already, why would I ask for it back?"

Seeing Chen Feng’s sincere demeanor, Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased. Getting a thousand yuan red packet for nothing was reason to be happy.

"Thank you then, boss. You really are very generous."

Lin Yujiao’s joy was genuine, and her smile radiated.

"It’s nothing. If you want to earn some extra money, I can give you an opportunity."

"Earn extra money? What do you mean?" Lin Yujiao asked, puzzled.

Chen Feng explained plainly, "I’m single now, right? I don’t have many friends around here, so I thought about finding a companion. If you accompany me, I’ll give you ten thousand for a month. It won’t be every day, just whenever we’re both free to go out to eat and drink and have fun. Just to keep company."

At first, Lin Yujiao was somewhat angry, thinking what does he take me for? But as she listened further to Chen Feng’s explanation, it seemed he was just looking for a companion in the simple sense, not the other kind of "companion," and her anger subsided. However, she still asked with some uncertainty, "This companion you’re talking about, just to accompany you eating, drinking and having fun, and nothing else... not that kind of relationship?"

"Of course," Chen Feng said earnestly, "Just plain eating, drinking and having fun, not what you’re thinking. It’s a legitimate temporary job, akin to being a tour guide. If you agree, you’ll accompany me until I return to Xiu Zhou after the New Year, which is about a month. And we have the New Year’s visits to relatives and such, so you won’t be needed every day. At most, you’ll accompany me for ten to fifteen days for a compensation of ten thousand. If you agree, I can pay you two thousand as a deposit right now."

Lin Yujiao hesitated, tempted by the idea of earning ten thousand just for accompanying Chen Feng for ten to fifteen days, and of course she wouldn’t have to spend any money when going out with him to eat and have fun.

Which women don’t like to have fun? Besides, she wasn’t burdened by children.

Still, as a woman, and a beautiful one at that, she felt the need for some decorum.

So she pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "I still have to run my shop. The business has been pretty good these last few days."

"How much do you make from your shop in a day?"

"I should make a few hundred yuan at least."

"Alright then, I’ll give you an additional three thousand yuan. That settles it. The New Year is almost here, and your shop won’t be open for another ten days. Moreover, I might not ask for your company every day. On the days I don’t call you out, you can keep your shop open."

"This... How can I accept this?" Lin Yujiao said, feeling embarrassed.

"Then it’s decided. I’ll transfer five thousand to you now. Another five thousand on New Year’s Eve, and when I go back to Xiu Zhou, I’ll transfer the final five thousand. Let’s make it fifteen thousand in total, a nice round number."

Having said that, Chen Feng operated his phone and transferred five thousand to her right there and then.

Lin Yujiao, though having seen some of the world, had never encountered anyone so generous to her.

In just a short while, Chen Feng had sent her seven thousand yuan. It felt like it was simply given to her.

"This... I haven’t agreed yet," said Lin Yujiao, slightly embarrassed.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Then you’ll return the money to me?"

Lin Yujiao was at a loss for words. Returning the money she had in hand? How could that be possible?

Chen Feng laughed heartily, stood up, and said, "Just kidding. Let’s go."

"Ah, go where?" asked Lin Wan, caught off guard.

Chen Feng replied, "To the county city to have fun. What’s the point of staying here?"

Hearing this, Lin Yujiao also stood up, ready to follow.
