At around eight o'clock, Pei Chuan drove me outside the automated teller hall of a bank in the city.
I took the bank card Guo Fenglai gave me and checked it at the ATM. It was exactly 20 million.
No wonder he said that as long as I don't spend a lot of time and money, the money in my card will be enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.
Twenty million is nothing to a rich person, not even a drop in the bucket.
But for a country kid like me who is used to having a little hard time, it’s really an astronomical figure.
If I follow a normal life trajectory, I will have an apartment in Jiangxia City, a mobility scooter worth more than 100,000 yuan, get married, and all the later expenses.
Just three million can handle everything.
I can live a simple and happy life with the remaining 17 million in the bank and earn interest.
"Hey, you asked me to send you here late at night just to check how much money is in the card?" Pei Chuan waited for boredom and followed in at some point. Seeing me standing in front of the cash machine in a daze, he couldn't help but joked:
"Come on, let me see how much private money you have, and how much it can shock you like this."
As he spoke, Pei Chuan stretched his neck, took a few glances, and exaggeratedly shouted: "What a fool, I can't tell you are still a rich man."
"Shit, someone else gave me the money." I took out my bank card, walked straight out, and sat in the driveway: "Go back."
"Hey, hey, I worked so hard to send you here, why don't you just let your love last forever?" Pei Chuan lit a cigarette and muttered, "No, my phone doesn't work very well. There is noise during calls, and the screen is not very sensitive.
You buy me a new mobile phone as compensation."
"Okay, I'll pay up to 2,000 yuan." I said cheerfully: "It's a ten-mile journey, so two thousand yuan for gas and labor costs is a lot, right?"
"Hey." Pei Chuan started the car angrily and said, "According to your calculation, I am almost exhausted from working on the heart-eating Gu worms in your body. Is it worth two thousand yuan?"
When Pei Chuan said this, I felt really sorry.
The fact is just as he said, he has really done a lot for me in the past two days.
Even though it was Lingxi's order, this guy was really nice to me.
Apart from these, I am also grateful to him for helping me explain the problems in the "Eight-Character Physiognomy Sutra".
After thinking about it carefully, I was moved and simply agreed: "Let's go, you can choose the mobile phone yourself, any price is fine."
"Ha, you said so. Don't blame me for being greedy then." Pei Chuan, with a smile on his face, drove along the street looking for a mobile phone store.
Half an hour later, Pei Chuan took the newly purchased Huawei XProi5 and said, "I've been thinking about this phone for a long time. If I didn't have any money, why would I let you spend the money?"
I touched the more than one thousand yuan in cash left in my pocket and smiled bitterly.
When I came out, I brought 10,000 yuan in cash to buy some spring clothes.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer. My clothes are still the thick coat I bought years ago, but now they feel a little hot.
Unfortunately, I didn’t buy any clothes. I spent 8,300 on a mobile phone.
The remaining 1,700 yuan is definitely more than enough to spend in ordinary shopping malls to buy clothes, but the pedestrian street in Pei Chuanlai is the most famous and expensive street.
I don’t dare to think too much about the shops selling clothes on this street.
Even though I am "worth a lot of money" now, I still can't bear to spend tens of thousands on clothes.
It's unnecessary and it hurts.
"Go home." Pei Chuan carefully put the new mobile phone into his pocket, stepped on the accelerator lightly and said, "I have actually made a lot of money over the years, at least one or two hundred million."
"But the master said that I have a volatile temperament. If I put so much money on me, I will be deceived by the mortal world and easily go astray. It is not good for my spiritual master's realm."
"So the money is kept by the master."
"Meiqi said it's for my own good and will be saved for future marriage and children."
Pei Chuan explained: "A teacher is like a father, and one must listen to what the father says."
I asked curiously: "What about your daily expenses? Where do you get them from?"
Pei Chuan honked his horn and passed the lane: "Just messing around."
"During the two years when I was traveling abroad, when I had no money to spend, I set up a stall and helped people tell fortunes and read Feng Shui."
