YM778.TV Chapter 36: Moving House
In the evening, while having dinner, Zhao Yuxin said, “Honey, we’re moving into our new home tomorrow. I’d like to invite my dad, Uncle Jiang, Yuqing, and Junyi over for dinner. What do you think?”
Xu Yang nodded and replied, “Of course, it’s a good idea. They don’t know that we bought a house, so it’s a good opportunity to let them know and make it easier for them to visit us in the future.”
Zhao Yuxin nodded enthusiastically, saying, “Yes, exactly!”
After dinner, Zhao Yuxin made phone calls to her father, Zhao Jiang, Zhao Yuqing, and Lin Junyi, inviting them to dinner at their new home tomorrow evening. She also sent them the address.
“Honey, with so many things to move, maybe we should hire a moving company. Otherwise, if we do it ourselves, we’ll have to make multiple trips with the car’s trunk full,” Xu Yang suggested, looking at the living room filled with items.
“Yeah, I think we should hire a moving company too,” Zhao Yuxin agreed.
Xu Yang went online and found a moving company. He called them to inquire about the prices and arranged for them to come the next day for the move. The other party said that they would send someone to help move on time.
The next morning, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had breakfast and checked out with the landlord. Some of the valuable items were taken downstairs and placed in the trunk of the Maserati. The only thing left for them to do was to wait for the people from the moving company to come.
The scheduled time was 9:30 AM. At 9:20 a.m., there was a knock at the door.
“It should be the movers,” Xu Yang said as he got up to answer the door. However, when he saw who was outside, he was surprised. “Xie Pengfei, what are you doing here?”
Then Xu Yang realized and asked, “Are you from the moving company?”
Xie Pengfei also seemed surprised but then smiled and said, “Yes, I’m from the moving company. I didn’t expect it to be you who needed moving services.”
“Come on in,” Xu Yang invited Xie Pengfei inside.
“Zhao Yuxin, long time no see,” Xie Pengfei greeted Zhao Yuxin.
They were former classmates, so they were quite familiar with each other.
“Xie Pengfei, if I remember correctly, weren’t you working in a fund company doing sales? How did you end up doing moving services?” Zhao Yuxin asked as she had read about Xie Pengfei’s occupation in the group chat.
Xie Pengfei explained, “The market hasn’t been good lately, and it’s been tough to make sales. Plus, there’s a lot of financial pressure at home, so I started doing part-time moving jobs on weekends. I saw the messages in our group chat about Xu Yang making money from investing in futures. Now that you are moving house, did you buy the house?”
Zhao Yuxin nodded proudly and said, “Yup. We bought the house and are moving in today.”
Xie Pengfei smiled and said, “Congratulations then. Among all of us, other than those rich heirs, it’s still a long way to go for those who rely on their own hard work to buy a house.”
The three of them chatted for a while before moving things. Originally, Xu Yang didn’t need to help move the house since he had paid the moving fee. However, Xie Pengfei was his classmate, so he helped him move it together.
Half an hour later, everything was moved downstairs. Xu Yang asked the landlord to come over and take a look. After the landlord confirmed that there was no problem, Xu Yang returned the key and left.
More than an hour later, the two cars drove into Villa No. 39 one after the other.
“Wow, you bought a villa!” Xie Pengfei was stunned.
Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin looked at each other and smiled. They didn’t say a word.
“Oh my goodness, Xu Yang, did you earn so much money by investing in futures?” Xie Pengfei couldn’t help but feel curious.
‘Xu Yang shouldn’t be able to earn that much money. According to what he said, he took his father-in-law’s two million yuan to buy gold futures. As he observed the gold futures’s growth, the surge was about 30%. Even if Xu Yang bought all of them from the beginning to the end, he would not be able to earn so much even if he used the floating profit to increase his stock. Moreover, the villa should cost tens of millions.’ Xie Pengfei thought.
“I didn’t earn that much from futures. I’ve also earned a little from other places recently,” Xu Yang said and smiled.
“Other sources of income? What kind of income can make you afford a house like this?” Xie Pengfei was curious.
“I had nothing to do last Saturday, so I went to Antique Street and found a treasure,” Xu Yang said.
“Holy crap! You went to Antique Street, found a treasure, and used the money from selling the treasure to buy a villa?!” Xie Pengfei exclaimed again, and then his face turned bitter. “It seems that this way of getting rich is not meant for me. It is not my destiny.”
Not everyone could find a treasure. It all depended on one’s luck. Xie Pengfei thought that his luck was very bad and that he would not have the same chance as Xu Yang.
Xie Pengfei moved things in and was given a tour of the villa by Xu Yang. At noon, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin invited Xie Pengfei to a restaurant outside the community for a meal.
After lunch, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin parted ways with Xie Pengfei and returned home. While Xie Pengfei returned to his minivan, he didn’t start the car immediately. Instead, he took out his phone and sent a few pictures of the Maserati Quattroporte and Xu Yang’s villa to the class group chat.
Classmate A: [Wow, Xie Pengfei, did you buy a luxury car and a villa?]
Classmate B: [Xie Pengfei, you work in a fund company, how did you make so much money that you could buy a luxury car and a villa?[
Classmate C: [It’s impossible. I saw him just last week, and he was complaining to me about his hardship. He can’t afford a luxury car and a villa.]
Classmate D: [What’s going on?]
Classmate E: [Xie Pengfei, are you doing your job in the daytime and providing services for rich women at night?]
Classmate F: [Is there such a good thing? Please introduce me!]
Classmate G: [Xie Pengfei, life is too tough. I don’t want to work hard anymore. Can you introduce me to a rich woman too?]
Classmate H: [Haha, don’t tell me that the Maserati Quattroporte was a gift from the rich woman you served?]
Classmate J: [This villa can’t be a gift from a rich woman, can it?]
Classmate K: [Giving a luxury car, I can believe, but saying a rich woman gave Xie Pengfei a villa is a bit hard to believe. It’s probably the rich woman’s villa that he served.]
Classmate L: [I’m better looking than Xie Pengfei, I work out every day, and I’m sure I’m in better shape than him. Why hasn’t a rich woman found me?]
Classmate M: [Me too, life is unfair.]
Classmate N: [I don’t get it, why are you guys thinking so negatively? Xie Pengfei, just give us the phone number of one rich woman.]
Xie Pengfei: [Don’t make a fuss. I helped Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin move today; they’ve moved into a new villa!]
Classmate A: [Wow, is that true?]
Classmate B: [Last time, He Xueqian revealed news about Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin buying luxury goods worth tens of thousands and buying Cartier watches worth tens of thousands. How did they get so much money?]
Classmate C: [Where did Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin get all this money?]
Classmate D: [Yeah, I can’t figure it out either. Even if they invested in gold futures, they couldn’t have earned that much.]
Classmate E: [Xie Pengfei, how do you know all this?]
Classmate F: [Xie Pengfei, come on, tell us. What’s the deal here?]
Xie Pengfei: [Hehe, I worked part-time moving on the weekends, and it just happened that Xu Yang contacted the moving company I work for. So, today I helped them move, and I visited Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s new villa. It’s really impressive, the environment and the luxurious decoration!]
Classmate A: [Xie Pengfei, are you trying to make us jealous?]
Classmate B: [Xie Pengfei, you’re making things complicated for Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.]
Classmate C: [Tell us, how did they get so much money to buy a luxury car and a villa?]
Classmate D: [Yeah, that’s what we want to know.]
Classmate E: [Xie Pengfei, come on, spill the beans!]
Classmate F: [Xie Pengfei, you can’t leave us hanging like this!]
