"You flatter me," Ye Yun smiled and shook his head.
Wang Meiling was not angry. Instead, she said to Li Menghan, "I truly envy President Ning for having such good employees. It seems my previous view of your company was somewhat one-sided."
Li Menghan inwardly grumbled. *Praising him like this is absurd! If she knew what this guy was like before, I guarantee she'd regret it so much her intestines would turn green!*
As Wang Meiling was in good spirits, she couldn't say that. She could only plaster on a smile and say, "That's right, that's right. President Ning also thinks highly of him."
"Ms. Wang, there's one more thing I hope you can help me with," Ye Yun suddenly said from the side.
"Please, tell me," Wang Meiling said, clearly thinking highly of Ye Yun.
"I'm short on funds right now, and I hope you can give me the payment for the accessories in advance," Ye Yun said calmly.
Li Menghan's face stiffened, and she gasped. *Is this good-for-nothing crazy? He thinks selling trinkets to Sister Wang is fine. Now he wants her to pay for the goods in advance? What kind of courage does Jesus give you?*
Just as she was about to reprimand Ye Yun, "You're short on money?" Wang Meiling spoke first.
"Yes."
"..."
Faced with Ye Yun's directness, Wang Meiling chuckled. "Then why not consider my offer? I can authorize an advance payment for three months' salary."
Wang Meiling's offer was indeed attractive, but having been reborn, Ye Yun wanted to make his life truly perfect, something Wang Meiling clearly couldn't provide. He still refused.
Wang Meiling felt regret but no longer pressed. She took out five thousand yuan and handed it to Ye Yun. "Let's start with a thousand pieces to test the waters. The price will be five yuan each." She, who highly valued Ye Yun, decided to spend a little money to forge a good connection. Little did she know, this connection would save her family and business.
Later, Wang Meiling, Ye Yun, and Li Menghan went into the office and chatted idly for over an hour. However, compared to Li Menghan, Wang Meiling spent most of her time talking with Ye Yun. Ye Yun's business acumen far surpassed Wang Meiling's, a veritable dimensionality reduction attack. Even his casual business thoughts seemed to open up Wang Meiling's vital meridians, bringing her immense benefits.
Her admiration for Ye Yun was almost unreserved. Within an hour, her desire to invite Ye Yun to join her team grew stronger. The salary climbed from an initial thirty thousand a month to fifty thousand, then a hundred thousand. However, Ye Yun rejected them all. Finally, with regret, Wang Meiling proactively placed her business card into Ye Yun's pocket. "Little Ye, Sister Wang's door is always open for you. You can come anytime!"
...
Driving the Fox from Wanda to the rental apartment, Li Menghan couldn't help but glance at Ye Yun multiple times. *Is this really Ye Yun?* Li Menghan was shaken. Wang Meiling offered a monthly salary of one hundred thousand and he wasn't moved? Thinking of herself, who was previously overjoyed about a promotion and a monthly salary of fourteen thousand. The gap was indeed enormous.
"We're home, no need to keep staring," Ye Yun said as he got out of the car. He took out three thousand five hundred yuan and gave it to Li Menghan. "A thousand pieces of trinkets. We'll split the profits fifty-fifty. Is it okay for you to give the accessories to Sister Wang?"
Looking at the three thousand five hundred yuan in her hand, Li Menghan gritted her teeth. *This scoundrel must be putting on an act!* She took out fifteen hundred yuan and returned it to Ye Yun. "This money is for you to earn from Sister Wang. I don't want to share it with you. I'll deliver the goods to Sister Wang, and you don't need to worry about the rest." Fifteen hundred yuan wasn't a huge sum for Li Menghan, and she knew this money wasn't hers. The amount of money wasn't the key; the most important thing was knowing what belonged to her. If it wasn't hers, no matter how much, she wouldn't take it. Otherwise, what was the difference between her and a beggar? Moreover, this money was from Ye Yun. She would only feel disgusted!

Ye Yun didn't insist. After all, it was just fifteen hundred yuan; there was no need to haggle.
Just as Li Menghan was about to leave, Ye Yun paused and said, "Didn't you say you owed me a favor? I want to cash it in now."
"What is it?" Li Menghan asked, somewhat displeased. People are like this; they'll remember they owe you a favor. But if you bring it up without thinking, they'll feel like you're trying to scheme against them.
"Bring Mengyao and Keke over tonight for dinner. I'll cook." Ye Yun said tentatively, his demeanor like a completely different person from the confident Wang Meiling. Ye Yun didn't care about Li Menghan's favor, but he still couldn't suppress that longing in his heart. After forty years, he truly wanted to have a meal with his wife and daughter.
Li Menghan felt even more resistant. *Invite my sister and Keke over for dinner? Is he acting again, trying to gain sympathy and then continue to persecute my sister?* "Ye Yun, I need you to understand the situation. It's Li Menghan who owes you a favor, not my sister! If you want to have dinner with them, forget it!" Li Menghan transferred ten thousand yuan to Ye Yun via WeChat. "Is this favor enough? We're even!" No matter what, Li Menghan would never forgive Ye Yun, this devil.
As the Fox drove away, Ye Yun watched the car's receding silhouette and sighed deeply. He didn't blame Li Menghan for her outburst. The money, Ye Yun didn't accept. The fifteen hundred yuan earlier was different from this ten thousand. He wouldn't exchange his dignity for money.
While driving, Li Menghan felt something strange seeing that Ye Yun hadn't accepted the money. This was ten thousand yuan. When did Ye Yun become so indifferent to money? She remembered that before, for a few hundred yuan in gambling debts, Ye Yun could argue fiercely with her sister. He even stole Keke's kindergarten tuition to gamble when he ran out of money! Heh, he's faking it, trying to trick me into saying nice things about him in front of my sister! Li Menghan concluded.
On the other side, Ye Yun, holding the three thousand yuan he received, recalled a memory. At 5 PM on August 7th, the Jinling Music Festival officially opened! And today was August 7th! The finale of this show was a male celebrity named Wu Qian. As a rising young star and currently at the top of the entertainment industry, he had many fervent fans. Ye Yun clearly remembered that a few extremely crazed fans, having lost their tickets on the road, had to buy exorbitant scalper tickets from others. In the end, they spent a sky-high price of eight thousand yuan for backstage tickets that originally cost five hundred yuan. Ironically, the person who got the bargain was also a scalper, who had acquired them for only four hundred yuan each! Since the concert had already started, the scalper thought it was better to sell them at a low price than let them go to waste. Within twenty minutes, those fans had become suckers. This incident was exposed the next day and even became a trending topic. Back then, Ye Yun, acting as a keyboard warrior, had called those fans brainless! As for Wu Qian's later trouble, the level of these fans' idiocy had further lowered Ye Yun's perception of the human limit!

After tidying up the house a bit, at four o'clock, Ye Yun took a taxi directly to the music festival venue.
