"Mr. Ye!"
"Mr. Ye!"
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng simultaneously called out again anxiously.
It seemed like they were worried Ye Chen's gains would go to outsiders, preventing them from getting this bargain.
In fact, that wasn't the case.
Although their current financial strength definitely didn't touch upon the word 'substantial'.
But this didn't mean they would highly value a mere three to five million.
What they were worried about was simply Ye Chen suffering a loss.
After all, for them, it wasn't an exaggeration to say Ye Chen had given them a new lease on life.
If Ye Chen could transfer those two deposit subscription forms to them, they definitely wouldn't let Ye Chen lose money; for the one hundred thousand deposit, they could offer one to two million, or even a higher price.
But if transferred to others, such a price would be absolutely impossible, because the other party would have to evaluate whether it was worth it.
And Ye Chen's financial situation was clear to both of them; an extra million or two, or a hundred thousand less, might not be much to Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng, but for Ye Chen, it was definitely a considerable sum.
Therefore, they wanted to help Ye Chen maximize his profits.
However.
How could Ye Chen, who had lived two lives, not understand their thoughts?
But, Ye Chen was not prepared to accept this kindness.
Because once accepted, it would be a favor owed!
He didn't want to owe favors to others.
Furthermore, while selling to Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng could indeed earn him more, having been reborn with sixty years of future memories and possessing this prophetic ability, how could he care about a mere million or two?
He shook his head lightly.
Ye Chen said.
"President Zhang, General Manager Li, I appreciate your good intentions. I'm a person who does things according to my own principles. Earning a little less is fine, but if I owe a favor, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable all over. Moreover, with the strength of you two, you wouldn't be thinking of buying a few apartments in Jinlin Mansion just to speculate, right? As for living there, that's even more absurd. Jinlin Mansion won't be handed over for another one or two years, and the surrounding relocation and renovation plans won't take shape for three to five years. How could they even catch your eyes?"
This...
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were instantly speechless.
They wanted to speak again, but didn't know how to respond.
After all, everything Ye Chen said was spot on.
However, what stunned them was Ye Chen's principled mindset, as if he wasn't blinded by money at all, and his manner of elevating the concept of favors to a new height.
Was this the kind of good-for-nothing gambler who only wanted to get rich overnight?
Nonsense!
Seeing that Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng had stopped talking.
Ye Chen turned back towards the noble-looking middle-aged couple and said.
"I have two deposit subscription forms. You can buy one or both, but the price is tentative. I need to see what the opening price is at the sales office today first. Is that okay?"
"Two sets?" The middle-aged couple was a little surprised.
But they still nodded, "Okay, shall we go into the sales office now?"
"Okay!"
Ye Chen led the way and started walking towards the sales office.
Following behind were the middle-aged couple, as well as Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng.
But they hadn't walked many steps.
A hesitant call, filled with uncertainty, rang out.
"Mr. Ye?"
Hmm?
Ye Chen subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look.
He saw a face appear in his line of sight that was somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't quite recall it.
Although his memories from his previous life after being reborn were clear down to the smallest detail, those clear memories were all from the next sixty years.
As for before that, there was no such effect.
The figure and appearance of a graceful middle-aged woman, with an intellectual charm emanating from her refined scholarly demeanor.
In Ye Chen's impression, while seemingly familiar, it was entirely vague.
"Are you calling me?" Ye Chen asked back in surprise.
"Are you Mr. Ye Chen?" The other party walked over.
"Yes, do we know each other?" Ye Chen said.
The other party furrowed their brows, "Then I haven't mistaken the person. You're Ye Youyou's Papa, right? We met during Children's Day last year!"
Youyou?
Children's Day?
Ye Chen suddenly woke up as if from a dream.
The memory scene returned to last year's Children's Day.
The Zijing Kindergarten where Youyou attended held a children's performance.
As parents of the participating children, they all had to attend.
Originally, Chen Yinuo was supposed to go that day, but she had a last-minute work arrangement that prevented her from getting away, so Ye Chen had no choice but to rush over.
That day, not only did he go there sloppily in a state of hangover, reeking of alcohol, but he also got into a conflict with the parents of other children, almost causing the children's performance to be interrupted. It was precisely after that incident that Yinuo completely despaired of him, and they had an unprecedented quarrel over it. During that quarrel, he also hit Chen Yinuo.
Hearing the middle-aged woman in front of him mention the words Youyou and Children's Day at this moment.
Ye Chen immediately said subconsciously, "Are you a Teacher at Youyou's school?"
"That's right, I'm Director Zhou Xiaolan, the Deputy Director of Zijing Kindergarten. We met on Children's Day last year!"
When mentioning meeting on Children's Day last year again, Director Zhou Xiaolan's expression was a bit off.
After all, that was an unforgettable day for their Zijing Kindergarten.
Of course, Ye Chen also became their most unforgettable special presence.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have easily recognized Ye Chen, whom she had only met once and who had never picked up or dropped off Ye Youyou at school.
"Ah, Director Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you. Are you also here to buy a house?"
Ye Chen politely extended his hand and smiled.
The other party politely shook his hand, but only symbolically and immediately let go.
As for this parent who caused a disturbance at the Zijing Kindergarten on Children's Day last year, if it weren't for her professional ethics, she wouldn't even want to say another word to him.
Then she looked at the deposit subscription form in Ye Chen's hand and said, "Mr. Ye, you have money to buy a house, but you can't even pay Youyou's tuition? Allow me to say something disrespectful, is that how you parent?"
"What did you say? Youyou can't pay tuition?" Ye Chen was stunned.
"Youyou hasn't been coming to Zijing Kindergarten for over a month now, don't you know about this?" Director Zhou Xiaolan asked doubtfully.
"I really didn't know, her Mom didn't tell me!" Ye Chen's expression was solemn.
"Our Zijing Kindergarten's fee system has two payment methods. One is paying for a semester in one lump sum, and the other, considering that some families might have tight finances, is a method where a semester's fee is paid in two installments. The installment payment date was over a month ago. At that time, Youyou's Mom told us that she was temporarily short on funds and wanted to transfer Youyou to a regular school. Our Zijing Kindergarten offered to let her defer the payment for a while longer, but she refused! I originally thought you were truly short on money, but I didn't expect you to have money to buy a house and still be unwilling to pay Youyou's tuition."
"Although the tuition at our Zijing Kindergarten is indeed not cheap, our teaching staff and various conditions are among the best in Jingzhou, aside from some elite kindergartens. Moreover, Youyou has been at our Zijing Kindergarten for two years now, and she's always been very happy and gets along well with the other children. Suddenly transferring her to those regular kindergartens... if the family's finances were truly stretched, then fine. But you have money to buy a house and are unwilling to let your child attend a better school. Is that how you parent?"
Director Zhou Xiaolan couldn't help but start lecturing him, not even caring that others were nearby.
As an educator, she couldn't stand parents who disregarded their children's education the most!
Especially parents who clearly have the means but still disregard their child's growing environment and learning environment facing a decline.
Detestable, simply detestable!
