Chapter 1278: Chapter 1253: The World of the Wealthy
The person sitting in the very center is none other than Wang Duoyu. It’s quite strange; while everyone else is worried about how to make money, Wang Duoyu is the complete opposite.
During a low point in his life, he met a mysterious millionaire and accepted a task: spend ten billion yuan within one month in order to inherit thirty billion yuan.
However, there are conditions to this task: he can’t buy real estate or vehicles, meaning Wang Duoyu has to go from a wealthy individual to a pauper, spending all ten billion yuan.
Initially, he thought spending ten billion yuan would be very easy, but after all, it’s still ten billion yuan, and he can’t buy real estate or vehicles. Spending it all in one month is easier said than done.
At this moment, Wang Duoyu is worried about this issue. He convened his former teammates to brainstorm ideas, but all they came up with were ways to make money.
Due to the agreement, Wang Duoyu can’t reveal the truth, so he’s just anxious and waiting.
His little assistant, Xia Zhu, is worried seeing Wang Duoyu squander money so lavishly. She even thinks Wang Duoyu is a quirky boss. While others think about how to earn money, he’s focused on spending it all.
As the saying goes, spending money is easy, earning it is hard.
Seeing Wang Duoyu spend ten million yuan to book the entire hotel, Xia Zhu is both anxious and angry, yet she can’t change this man’s mind.
Understanding the world he’s in now, Ye Chen walked inside.
Seeing the stranger walk in, Wang Duoyu asked, "Who are you?"
"President Wang, I’m the deliveryman, Ye Chen. Here’s your ice cream delivery." Ye Chen said with a smile.
At that moment, Wang Duoyu’s heart felt like it was on fire; he needed to cool down quickly, but right now he wasn’t in the mood. He thought spending money would be easy, but didn’t expect it to become increasingly difficult.
Wang Duoyu waved his hand and said, "Just leave it there."
Ye Chen looked around and saw all of Wang Duoyu’s teammates. He sighed and said, "President Wang, you’ve booked the entire hotel, which seems quite impressive, but I think inviting those famous people to a meal wouldn’t be more prestigious."
Before Wang Duoyu could speak, he continued, "But these people aren’t easy to invite; it requires spending a lot of money."
Initially, Wang Duoyu wasn’t interested at all, but hearing Ye Chen talk about spending money immediately caught his interest, and even his eyes lit up.
"Brother Ye, which celebrities are you talking about? Tell me about them." Wang Duoyu asked with a modest demeanor.
"The likes of the Stock God, Buffett," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Wang Duoyu had heard of Buffett before; he’s a legendary figure, not easily invited, and would require spending money.
But Wang Duoyu had plenty of money to burn, and he was very happy with Ye Chen’s idea.
"Xia Zhu, arrange for me to have dinner with Stock God Buffett. Whatever price he asks for, I’m willing to pay," Wang Dayu said to his female assistant, acting extravagantly.
"I’ve told you many times, Wang Duoyu, I’m not called Xia Zhu, I’m Xia Zhu. Also, there’s no way you can spend money like this; if you continue, you’ll become a complete pauper within half a year." Xia Zhu said with a roll of her eyes, obviously annoyed.
This Xia Zhu was the accountant hired by Wang Duoyu to manage his finances. Originally, Xia Zhu was excited to achieve great things but never expected to encounter such an eccentric boss.
This boss thinks only of spending money every day instead of earning it.
But there’s no other way; Xia Zhu has an unflattering nickname, Black Widow. Wherever she goes, companies go bankrupt, resulting in no company wanting to hire her.
She finally found someone willing to hire her, and Xia Zhu didn’t want to leave.
"Xia Zhu, a name is just a title. Why be so bothered? Just let me know once you’ve completed the task." Wang Duoyu said, waving his hand confidently like a big boss.
Xia Zhu stomped her feet and walked away, not forgetting to glare at Ye Chen before leaving.
"It turns out that beautiful women always have a bit of a temper." Ye Chen thought to himself as he watched Xia Zhu’s back.
Wang Duoyu didn’t care in the slightest. He pulled Ye Chen over and said, "Brother, I could tell at a glance that you’re no ordinary person. You’ve helped me a great deal."
"Boss Wang, you’re too kind. From your expression, you seem troubled; have you encountered a problem?" Ye Chen asked with concern.
"Brother, you don’t understand. I originally thought earning money was hard, yet it turns out spending it is even harder," Wang Duoyu sighed.
"Is that all?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
Upon hearing Ye Chen say this, Wang Duoyu’s expression was surprised. These past days, he’s tried every possible way to spend money. Xia Zhu told him that at this rate, he would spend all his money in a year. How couldn’t Wang Duoyu feel it was difficult?
"Brother, since that’s the case, I hope you can help me." Wang Duoyu pleaded.
"Boss Wang, you don’t know, but I used to be extremely wealthy as well. Yet having so much wealth brought no joy; aside from spending money, there was nothing else to do, no goals to strive for." Ye Chen said, gazing into the distance, as if recalling the past.
"Then what happened?" Wang Duoyu asked anxiously.
"Eventually, I squandered all my money and went from being wealthy to a deliveryman, living life like an immortal every day," Ye Chen said with pride.
"Brother Ye, I really admire someone like you, and I want to be someone like you too. The life of a wealthy person is truly too dull." Wang Duoyu threw his arm around Ye Chen.
At that moment, his attitude towards Ye Chen changed drastically; if he could become like Ye Chen and go from wealth to poverty, wouldn’t that mean he completed his task?
"Boss Wang, rest assured, I will certainly help you achieve your dream." Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, let’s chat over here." Wang Duoyu led Ye Chen aside.
He opened a bottle of Romanée-Conti, poured Ye Chen a glass, and said, "Brother Ye, have a drink."
If it were an ordinary person, Wang Duoyu would offer a taste, but he knew Ye Chen was once wealthy too, so certainly he’d have tasted such a luxury wine.
Ye Chen took the glass, tilted his head back, and downed the wine.
"Brother Ye, truly impressive drinking skills." Wang Duoyu praised from the side.
Because Ye Chen had just given him the idea to spend money, and due to Ye Chen’s previous wealthy experiences, Wang Duoyu was convinced Ye Chen could help him.
