Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen wasn't just saying that casually.

If he wants to start some projects, such as opening a clinic, he will definitely need help.

Huang Longtian made a very good impression on him; he was a down-to-earth and hardworking person who got things done.

Moreover, they are young and highly adaptable.

This kind of person is worth recruiting and cultivating.

Therefore, Ye Chen extended an olive branch to Huang Longtian.

Huang Longtian looked up, somewhat uncertainly, and asked, "Mr. Ye, are you... are you serious?"

Ye Chen nodded: "How much do you earn now?"

"I haven't been here long, and my salary is only 3800!" Huang Longtian said truthfully.

"So what salary level are you expecting?" Ye Chen asked Huang Longtian calmly.

"I'm already very satisfied that Mr. Ye gave me a job. I shouldn't have made too many demands!" Huang Longtian pursed his lips.

"But to be honest, Mr. Ye, my mother is having surgery next week, and I urgently need money. I'm short about 3 yuan!"

"Just keep my salary at 3800, but I have a presumptuous request: could you perhaps advance me a year's salary?"

Huang Longtian looked at Ye Chen with hopeful eyes.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Your situation is special, so I can make an exception and give you an advance on your salary!"

Huang Longtian's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Mr. Ye. From now on, I, Huang Longtian, will work for you. I can do more than just drive; I can do all sorts of odd jobs and chores!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm not hiring a nanny, you don't need to do those things! It's just that 3800 is a bit low, the average salary in Lucheng is around 4500. I'll pay you 9000 a month, weekends off, and you can be on call anytime. Is that okay?"

"How much? How much?!" Huang Longtian stumbled, thinking he had misheard!

"9000, how about that? If it's okay, I can start work tomorrow!" Ye Chen repeated.

Huang Longtian's mouth gaped open in astonishment!

A salary of 9000...

Holy crap, that's the salary for a supervisor or manager...

"Mr. Ye, you're giving me too much. I'm starting to panic. Just give me the industry average salary; I'll feel more at ease with that!" Huang Longtian scratched his head.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes. There are actually people who complain about high salaries?

9000 is alright, if he wasn't worried about giving too much at once, he would have liked to offer 15000...

The price for a full-time driver isn't actually outrageous; he just wants to give both parties a period of adjustment. The salary will increase eventually.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well!

Cattle and horses also have private life needs.

"No wonder they only offered you 3800. Remember, only when you respect yourself will others respect you. In my opinion, you're worth that price. Keep up the good work!"

Ye Chen patted Huang Longtian's arm.

Huang Longtian opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he instantly lost his voice.

After a moment, he nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with determination.

"By the way, I never asked you before, where is your hometown?" Ye Chen asked casually.

"My hometown is De County, Ling City!" Huang Longtian said without hesitation.

"Oh?!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

He said Huang Longtian's accent sounded familiar, and it turned out they were from the same hometown!

Most of the population of Xiamen is from other places, so the probability of meeting someone from your hometown is not small. I never expected to meet one here.

This just proves the power of fate!

"Xiao Huang, you just said your mother needs surgery. What illness does she have, and where is she now?" Ye Chen asked, changing the subject.

Huang Longtian's expression darkened when he heard the word "mother".

My mother has advanced rectal cancer and just finished her second round of chemotherapy. She's currently recuperating in the countryside!

"I see. Where is the surgery scheduled?" Ye Chen continued to ask.

Huang Longtian took a deep breath: "Lucheng First People's Hospital, or of course, I could go to the provincial capital, but this place is closer to home!"

Ye Chen nodded: "My ancestors were also doctors, and we've passed down some real skills. If you trust me, you can bring your aunt over so I can take a look!"

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Ye. I'll pick her up in a couple of days!"

Huang Longtian had no idea that Ye Chen was a cheat code with divine medicine at his disposal!

So I didn't have much hope.

"Come on, let's add each other as friends. Don't keep calling me 'Mr. Ye' anymore, it sounds awkward. I'm young and handsome, you can call me Brother Ye, I'm not that much older than you!"

Ye Chen took out his phone, and the two added each other as friends.

"Yes, Brother Ye!" Huang Longtian finally changed his form of address.

After all, Mr. Ye's words sounded like he was addressing the homeowners, which is how he used to address them.

Now that I'm working with Ye Chen, it's fine to change my address.

Ye Chen transferred 10 yuan to him as an advance on his salary.

Huang Longtian wanted to decline, but Ye Chen waved his hand, turned around and went back to his car, leaving Huang Longtian standing there for a long time.

"Cousin, what's going on over there? I see a lot of security guards!" Chen Tingting asked in confusion.

"It's alright, I know that security guard, he's from our county too, so I went over to say hello. Let's go!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he started the car and drove towards his villa.

When Ye Chen returned to the villa, there was a dog food delivery order at the door. Only then did Ye Chen realize that he hadn't fed the dog yet...

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Ye Chen saw the dog's resentful gaze, as if to say, "Where's the promised takeout? It's been so long! You can't cheat a dog like this!"

Ye Chen apologetically opened the dog food bowl and, with a serious demeanor, filled it to the brim: "Uh... this... Big Yellow, the roads were congested today, so the delivery was a bit slow. Come on, have a meal!"

If he hadn't just been bringing Chen Tingting back, he would have completely forgotten that the dog hadn't eaten yet.

After all, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night, so his owner should probably take better care of him.

"Woof, woof!" Big Yellow seemed to be saying, "Are you kidding me? They already delivered it, okay? They even knocked on the door!"

However, Dahuang is easy to coax; it will happily go and enjoy any food it gets.

Chen Tingting looked around the villa in amazement: "Cousin, this villa is so beautiful! Your friend is so rich, he can just let anyone stay in his villa. Can I go inside and have a look?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Sure!"

Chen Tingting was practically jumping and running around.

Time flew by, and it was already 4:30 when Ye Chen's phone rang.

Ye Chen saw that the caller was his second uncle, so he answered the call.

"Hey, Ye Chen, where are you and Tingting?" came the voice of his second uncle from the other end of the phone.

It looks like we've arrived, otherwise it should be my second aunt's voice coming from here.

The location Ye Chen sent them earlier was the location of Longjin Community.

"Uncle, you've arrived at Longjin Residential Area, right? I'll come out to meet you!"

"Oh, that's great! Your neighborhood looks really nice, and the management is quite strict!" my second uncle praised.

My second aunt, looking curious, asked the security guard, "Hey, young man, how much are the houses here?"
