Xie Sui had a dream one night. A group of little brats surrounded him, demanding food. They chased him everywhere, up into the sky and down to the earth, and he was so terrified that he woke up with a start. Su Dan Novel Network.
He washed his face, changed his clothes, put them in a bag, and personally took them to the laundry room to be washed, not allowing anyone to touch his personal belongings.
This was a lesson learned. In his previous life, a friend had his clothes sent by an employee. The employee harbored resentment and smeared infected blood on his clothes. He eventually contracted a serious illness and almost died.
From then on, Xie Sui paid great attention to his personal belongings.
He walked out of his office and found someone outside. He glanced at his watch; it was just seven o'clock. Employees wouldn't start work until eight-thirty. Who could it be?
Could it be a thief?
Xie Sui cautiously stepped out and saw it was a girl. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl turned around. It was Afei's girlfriend. What was her name again? Xie Sui had forgotten. "It's you? Why are you here? Did Afei bring you? It's a bit early, I didn't ask him to come."
Hu Yuanyuan said shyly, "Mr. Xie, hello. Afei didn't bring me. I'm working as a cleaner in our company now. Thank you, Mr. Xie, for giving me this opportunity."
Cleaner?
Xie Sui glanced at her rag and was even more surprised. "You're a cleaner and you're here so early? You don't need to be. Just come during normal working hours next time."
Xie Sui didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Hu Yuanyuan followed him, trying to strike up a conversation. "Mr. Xie, I'm very grateful for this opportunity to work. I came early because I wanted to help you with something. I've always wanted to repay your great kindness to Afei and me."
"Are these your clothes? Shall I wash them for you?"
Hu Yuanyuan saw his dirty clothes and wanted to take them. Xie Sui dodged her. He didn't have a good impression of her. In his previous life, he had seen too many women who recommended themselves. Her act was really clumsy.
"No need. I pay you a salary for your work, so there's no kindness to speak of. You should get back to your work and don't follow me."
Xie Sui finished speaking and entered the elevator, his expression cold, completely indifferent to her apparent distress.
It was a small matter, and Xie Sui didn't pay much attention to it. When Afei came to work, Xie Sui asked him, "When are you and your girlfriend getting married? Have you decided?"
Afei thought Xie Sui was concerned about him. "We've decided, but there are still some issues. I'm working on it."
"What issues? You've already given the betrothal gifts, and so much of it. Even if her family is selling their daughter, they should have settled the accounts. What else do they want?"
Afei sighed. "They want a house, and a wedding ceremony, and all sorts of things. It's very troublesome. In short, it's still about not having enough money."
Xie Sui: "Is it that difficult to get married here? In my hometown, you just give a few dozen yuan as a betrothal gift with a donkey cart, and treat everyone to a meal, and that counts as marriage.
Sometimes, the betrothal gift isn't even needed. If two people like each other, a witness presides over the ceremony, and two bundles of bedding become one, and they're a couple.
Or I can introduce you to a few. With this money, you could marry several."
Afei's earned 100,000 yuan had all gone to Hu Yuanyuan's family. In an era where 10,000 yuan was a huge sum, 100,000 yuan was enough for him to start a small business and live a stable life.
Xie Sui felt that Afei had been swindled by Hu Yuanyuan.
Afei said, "Thank you, Brother Xie. I know this money is far more than usual, but Yuanyuan is very pitiful. Her father is a degenerate gambler. If I don't look after her, she'll definitely be sold off, and who knows how miserable she'll be.
Brother Xie, I promised to treat you to a wedding banquet, sorry for making you wait."
Xie Sui almost rolled his eyes. "As long as you're happy. Although I don't agree with your approach, dating isn't about poverty alleviation, nor is it about one family saving another. Your girlfriend's family sees that you're easy to talk to and will never easily let go of you, a sucker. Be careful not to lose both your money and your person."
Xie Sui leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, not wanting to speak anymore. Afei fell silent, lost in thought.
It was Sunday, and the stock exchange was closed. Xie Sui was going out to sea. Tang Ling had organized it, and it was a yacht party. He had done this in his previous life, but this was his first time in this one.
He went straight to the beach. Xie Sui got out of the car and saw scantily clad beautiful women from afar. His eyes narrowed, and his heart beat slightly faster. No man could resist this sight.
"Afei, you're off today, no need to pick me up. I'm riding with Young Master Du. Settle your family affairs. Your girlfriend working as a cleaner at the company, I don't agree with that.
She's still young. She could learn English, do office document processing, and become a clerk. That would be better than being a cleaner. Don't you, as her boyfriend, care about her?"
Afei said, "Brother Xie, you know? I didn't want to bother you. It was Brother A'nan who made the decision to have her come here."
"I'm not blaming anyone. I just feel that for a young girl, doing this is very demeaning. Doesn't every girl want to be glamorous!
Go back and have a good talk with your girlfriend."
Xie Sui put on his sunglasses, hiding his slightly envious eyes, and walked towards the yacht.
Du Feiyang and the others had already arrived and were waiting for him. They were chatting with the beauties, attracting countless envious glances.
Xie Sui casually glanced around and noticed a few men holding newspapers, which caught his attention.
"Little brother, you're late. We're about to set sail. We'll be spending the night at sea this time, so you can have a good time. We've prepared a few girls. Want to have some fun?"
His winking and smirking looked so vulgar.
"No, I'm afraid of getting sick. I have some good news to share with you. My wife is pregnant with twins, and they're both boys. I'm already a father of four. You want me to do this? Isn't that trying to lead me astray?"
Du Feiyang's eyes widened. "Really? You two are too fertile! Four? All boys? My old man married five concubines and only had seven. I admire you."
Xie Sui: "This is different. My children have the same parents, so they'll definitely be harmonious and filial. Unlike your family, where there's constant scheming and fighting at home like a battlefield.
Having too many sons is also a worry. We have to earn more money to support the family.
Even if I have money, I won't spend it on these women. It's all for my sons' dowry. Don't expect me to spend a penny."
Du Feiyang was speechless. "So you want to have fun but don't want to spend money. That's fine. At least you can still accept them for free, right?"
Xie Sui: "Free things are always the most expensive. Remember this. Who else is coming to play today?"
Du Feiyang said seriously, "I've invited the eldest young master of the Jun family. Their family has extensive overseas businesses. They came to Hong Kong half a year before you. They are powerful and want to get a foothold in Hong Kong's commerce. Currently, they are in the casino business.
If Young Master Jun takes a liking to you, financing several hundred million yuan will be no problem."
Xie Sui rubbed his chin. "The Jun family? I haven't heard of this family before."
They weren't famous in his previous life, so they definitely wouldn't last long. Let's just watch for now.
