Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"Let me tell you, Ye Chen has been acting all high and mighty these past few days!"

"I go hunting in the mountains every day, catching pheasants or rabbits, and we eat meat at home every meal. Look, I've gotten so fat!"

"The women in the village who used to love gossiping now have shining eyes when they talk about Ye Chen, praising him to the skies!"

The main room, next to the dining table.

The three women huddled together and talked about their experiences over the past few days.

In the kitchen, Ye Chen was personally cooking, and the atmosphere was bustling with activity.

Tian Xiaohui quickly praised Ye Chen, recounting the changes he had undergone recently. Luo Lin and Qian Jiali, who were standing beside her, frowned from time to time, finding it hard to believe.

How could Ye Chen have changed so much in just four or five days?

"Sister Xiaohui, do you think... Ye Chen can help with finding a job?" Luo Ling suddenly interrupted.

Tian Xiaohui frowned before replying, "I don't know. To be honest, when he told me about the director, I found it hard to believe."

"However, you can ask him yourself; that kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve these days!"

"Before, you two were the closest. Ye Chen cared about you so much, so it would definitely be more effective for you to ask than for me to!"

Luo Ling frowned, making up her mind to find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Ye Chen after dinner.

Turning around, I saw Qian Jiali's deep gaze.

"Xiaohui, did you just say that Liu Changjun wanted to humiliate you, but Ye Chen saw it and used it as leverage to blackmail Liu Changjun into giving you the position of director?"

"That's right."

"That's a bit strange. Logically speaking, if Ye Chen knew that Liu Changjun had ulterior motives towards you, shouldn't he be the one to keep you far away from him?"

"But now, it seems like we've arranged a good position for you, which is tantamount to handing you over to Liu Changjun. Don't you think there's more to this than meets the eye?"

"This..." Tian Xiaohui fell silent, her mind in turmoil.

Could it be that Ye Chen secretly made an agreement with Liu Changjun, and the content of the transaction was precisely him?

Was he merely a bargaining chip in Ye Chen's hands, not someone he truly cared about?

"No, Ye Chen isn't that kind of person!" After a moment of contemplation, Tian Xiaohui suddenly shook her head.

They absolutely refuse to accept this explanation!

After all, Ye Chen's murderous gaze that night was absolutely genuine!

"Then explain yourself. Logically speaking, Luo Ling should be more capable of handling this position than you. Why did Ye Chen specifically send you to be the director?"

"I think he's clearly hiding something. Otherwise, why would he communicate with you privately, especially when neither of us is around?"

"Jiali, I think you're overthinking it. Ye Chen isn't that kind of person!"

Tian Xiaohui quickly explained, "You two had a really bad falling out with Ye Chen before, so even if he wanted to tell you about this, you wouldn't give him the chance!"

"No, Ye Chen must have ulterior motives. He's a complete coward. How many years have the three of us been with him? If he could change, he would have done so long ago!"

However, Qian Jiali found it difficult to accept the reality before her and insisted on her own ideas!

"Ye Chen doesn't have that ability; he must have made a secret deal with someone. By the way, the few hundred yuan he used as ransom last time should also have been given to him by Liu Changjun!"

"Xiaohui, you'd better be careful. When you go to the commune again, be careful not to get sold out and end up helping the seller count the money!" Qian Jiali warned as a final warning.

But Tian Xiaohui didn't take those words seriously at all!

I have spent the most time with Ye Chen, and I have been by his side these past two days.

Whether Ye Chen has changed or not, he knows best!

He would never betray himself!

……

The dinner table.

Looking at the abundant meat and vegetables, Qian Jiali and Luo Ling frowned.

The food at the pharmacy these past two days has been quite good, but compared to Ye Chen's lavish feast, it's nothing!

There were four dishes in total, three of which were meat!

In these days, people are short of food and clothing. Even the capitalists in the city probably wouldn't dare to eat like this.

"Ye Chen, even if you've become successful, at least be a little more low-key. Who can afford to eat so much meat every day?" Qian Jiali said with a frown, and in her heart, she labeled Ye Chen as a spendthrift.

"It's not because I see the three of you suffering. You haven't eaten anything good since you followed me."

"It's not easy for everyone to get together, let's have a good meal!"

Ye Chen smiled and then spoke first to explain.

"Xiaohui's director, there's a reason for this. She just explained it to you, so you should know how it happened!"

"This kind of thing takes opportunity; it can't be done with just a few words. Luo Ling, you'll have to put up with this for the next couple of days."

"If I hang around with the beauties for another month or two, and winter comes, my chance should be around!"

In Ye Chen's plan, summer would be the time for him to truly unleash his potential.

The dismantling of the commune officially began, and the original commune members were all worried, fearing that they would be used as sacrifices.

After all, when working in the commune, who hasn't offended a couple of people?

If I were to be used as a scapegoat again, that would be a huge loss.

In the midst of panic, it would probably only cost a little money to send people to the commune again.

After all, everyone thought the commune was going to be abandoned and they were all trying to avoid it, so who would care about the so-called commune leaders?

"Now that Jiali and Luo Ling have left, it's almost time for us to really put our skills to use."

"Next year, after the job assignments, all three women will be moving to the city. Rent and daily expenses will add up to a considerable sum, so we must prepare in advance!"

Ye Chen had this plan in mind.

But these words didn't sit well with Luo Ling.

As the daughter of a capitalist, Luo Ling harbored a deep-seated arrogance.

Although she doesn't usually say it, in her eyes, her status is simply incomparable to that of people like Ye Chen!

Upon learning that Tian Xiaohui had suddenly become the director, Luo Ling was not only shocked but also felt a pang of jealousy.

However, because Tian Xiaohui usually takes care of him, he naturally doesn't show these emotions.

But Luo Ling didn't have as many reservations when facing Ye Chen.

At this moment, resentment was already welling up in my heart!

If you really care about me, why didn't you give me the first director's position?

You've remembered me now?

"I'm not eating!"

Over time, Luo Ling felt increasingly aggrieved, and finally slammed down her bowl and chopsticks, got up, and left.

……

Partial room.

Luo Ling sat angrily on the edge of the bed when Qian Jiali suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"Lingmei, what's wrong?"

"Sister Jiali, I just feel so angry! We're not much worse than Ye Chen, and we haven't been idle these past two days either. Why is Ye Chen so capable, but we're not?" Luo Ling explained.

Qian Jiali smiled and comforted him, "Ye Chen is just lucky. If Xiaohui hadn't been bullied before, how would he have had the chance to show his abilities?"

"If you're really so angry, let's just leave tomorrow!"

"The pharmacy owner treats us well. If we perform well, we might get a raise someday."

"I'll come back then and teach that good-for-nothing Ye Chen a lesson!"

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow!"

Luo Ling nodded in agreement.

She was even more determined that she would work hard this time at the pharmacy.

Try to start as a waiter and work your way up to become a bookkeeper!
