Rong Yan was passing by a phone booth and decided to give her uncle a call before heading to school, lest he should come looking for her there.
She took out her campus communication card, inserted it into the phone, and dialed. The other side picked up very quickly.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Uncle, it’s me, Rong Yan. I won’t be coming home for the next couple of days because of the break; I have some matters to attend to, so you don’t need to come find me at school."
"Ah? Not coming back? Where will you go?"
"I’m going to the city for a study session, I’ll need to stay for two days."
"... Alright then! Make sure you’re safe. Oh, and you must be out of money! I’ll transfer some to you in a bit."
Rong Yan was about to say there was no need when the call on the other end had already hung up.
The money arrived five minutes later, amounting to one thousand yuan.
Looking at the amount, Rong Yan felt a tangle of emotions.
Her kind uncle definitely didn’t have that much money. His salary was the same low figure at the end of each month, and even if he had some savings tucked away, he had given them to her last time.
This time, he must have borrowed from someone to give her this much.
Biting her lip, she put away her complex feelings and walked out of the campus. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At that moment, someone called out to her.
"...Rong Yan!"
Turning her head, Rong Yan saw Rong Qiao standing not too far away. Without responding, she simply walked away.
Rong Qiao watched as Rong Yan ignored her and felt unbearably upset, so she quickly chased after her.
"Rong Yan, it’s the holiday now, don’t you want to come home for two days?" These few days, for Rong Qiao, had been rather disastrous.
She was not only mentally exhausted but physically drained as well.
Though she didn’t have to cook when she went home, she still had to do chores like washing dishes and sweeping the floors.
And on top of that, she had to wash her own clothes.
It was only after finishing these tasks that she had time for homework.
Every day left her utterly depleted.
What was most important was that she wanted to buy things... but had no money.
That morning, while her uncle was around, she went to ask him for money, and her aunt only gave her ten yuan.
Stopping in the heart of the city.
After Rong Yan got out of the taxi and paid the fare, she decided not to stay at a hotel but went to have a meal instead and then found an internet café to spend the night.
The two days went by, and Rong Yan returned to school within the boarding students’ mandated time.
Her trip to the city... had been quite profitable.
At the internet café, she found a website for code writing gigs and picked up a job worth ten thousand yuan, stayed up all night writing a program, and managed to sell it for a hundred thousand yuan.
She then used that money to check into a five-star hotel and bought a cell phone and a laptop.
All of which she needed.
During her stay at the hotel, she locked herself in her room and took on freelance jobs frantically... After a busy stint, she had boosted her bank account balance directly to one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
So now, she was not short on money.
She downloaded a securities company’s app on her new phone, planning to invest all that money in the stock market once it opened.
Evening self-study was mandatory for all boarding students.
Though Rong Yan was already familiar with the material, she still adhered to the rules and joined the study session...
