Chapter 27 I still have one job here, the pay is 1 dollar.
When Wen He saw her biological mother arrive, she sighed silently.
When she opened the door to her room, her mother came in and immediately said, "Look at the place you're living in! There's not even room to put your feet down. I told you to go home, but you won't go."
Wen He said calmly, "I can't afford the rent."
She lives in her own home and has to pay 800 yuan in rent every month because that person is her stepfather, and also because her biological mother has never fought for any benefits for her.
The woman sat down on the edge of the bed, glanced at Wen He, and didn't continue the previous topic, as if she had never mentioned it at all.
After about ten seconds, the woman said, "Did that guy just give you money? Is he your boyfriend? He's pretty good-looking and seems quite generous."
Wen He frowned. "Just friends."
The woman's eyes scrutinized him. "It's good that you can distinguish these things. Dating is ultimately for your own good. How much money does he give you each month?"
By this time, Wen He was getting annoyed. "What exactly do you want to ask?"
Seeing Wen He's tone and remembering what she was about to do, the woman took the initiative to back down and said, "Can't I ask? Mom's been having bad luck with the lottery these past few days, and I'd like to borrow five hundred yuan from you to try and win it back. I'll give it to you in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Wen He immediately took out paper and pen from the desk next to her, handed them to her mother, and said, "Same as always, write an IOU! Put your fingerprint on it!"
Seeing this, the woman's face lit up with joy, but after taking the paper and pen, she asked again, "How much did that boy give? It seemed like a lot, over a thousand, right?"
"I need to live on my own. Five hundred yuan is my limit. If you don't want it, then forget it." Wen He's tone was colder than ever before.
For her, this kind of thing was already commonplace.
Her biological mother has been asking her, a high school student, for money for the past three years. Over the years, she has taken more than 6,000 yuan from her, and she comes to visit her almost every two months. She also asks for money more often via WeChat, but Wen He really doesn't have any.
I firmly denied it today, but she still came looking for me.
When the woman heard that Wen He wasn't going to budge, she knew she had made a fool of herself.
She skillfully wrote the IOU, while Wen He had already prepared her fingerprints.
The moment the handprint was pressed, the woman reached out her hand.
Wen He counted out five hundred yuan and gave it to the other party.
After receiving the money, the woman showed no sign of leaving and said, "What does that guy's family do? He's so generous just because he's dating? Did you sleep with him?"
Wen He had been trying to control his emotions, but after hearing the woman's words, he finally couldn't hold back and roared, "What I do is none of your business! Take the money and get out!"
"Why are you so agitated? If you hadn't been beating and scolding me at home, would your dad have stopped giving me living expenses? Come to think of it, it's all your fault for making him unhappy."
Anyway, for the woman, the money was already in her hands.
Wen He grabbed the woman's arm, opened the door, and pushed her outside.
After pushing it out, just as he was about to close the door, he saw Li Chao standing in the courtyard.
Wen He felt a little nervous for a moment. After closing the door immediately, she felt her heart beating faster than ever before.
She learned about Li Chao's situation from Qin Nuanyang.
Although Li Chao became an orphan, Qin Nuanyang's family treated him very well.
They would invite him out for meals during holidays, celebrate his birthday, and provide him with a very generous allowance.
1500 a month...
That was an incredibly dreamlike number. Wen He worked hard, and apart from summer and winter vacations, he could earn six hundred yuan a month, which was considered lucky.
As for herself, she spends at most four hundred yuan per month on average.
Put that IOU away and place it with another pile of IOUs.
I've accumulated over a dozen already.
These IOUs were the foundation that gave her the confidence to leave that home.
In addition to these IOUs, she also kept dozens of recordings.
Once she gets into university and is freed from the constraints of studying, no one will ever want to be near her again.
However... I still need to save up some money for university living expenses.
Just then, she heard the sound she least wanted to hear coming from outside.
His own mother was talking to Li Chao.
"Young man, I'm Wen He's mother. What's your name?"
"Excuse me, Auntie, I don't know you."
Fortunately, Li Chao seemed unwilling to pay attention to the woman, and then the footsteps faded into the distance.
Wen He was finally relieved.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Li Chao, "I just realized that I haven't finished writing a little bit. I'll bring it to your room later."
Li Chao quickly replied, "Someone took several hundred yuan from me. Is that enough for my living expenses?"
"Huh? That..."
Li Chao quickly replied, "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I have another job offer here, the pay is 1,000 yuan, are you interested?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Wen He couldn't think of any other abilities she had that were worth a thousand yuan, but as long as she could make money, that was fine.
She had already planned it out. She could use student loans to pay for her college tuition, but she would definitely need to save up at least two thousand yuan for living expenses at the beginning.
After she goes to university, things won't be like this anymore.
She wanted to make herself look neat and tidy, and wear pretty clothes.
"I need a bank card, a SIM card that is also linked to that bank card, a securities account linked to the same SIM card, and a copy of both sides of my ID card. I will also need to verify each account."
Upon seeing the message from Li Chao, Wen He instinctively asked, "Money laundering?"
"What are you thinking? I'm just a high school student. How would I have the chance to get my hands on that stuff? I'm not an adult yet, and I don't have a stock trading account. If you're willing, I'll give you five hundred after I get it set up, and I'll give you the remaining five hundred in October."
Wen He: "..."
This whole process didn't actually cost much money, but she felt that Li Chao's reasons weren't convincing enough.
No, a high school student, trading stocks?
Then she asked, "Why didn't you ask Nuanyang for one? She's an adult now."
"I've already lent it to her, but she's been watching the account all the time, which is distracting me. I want to find something she doesn't know about. If you agree, please keep this a secret for me."
……
Finding multiple reliable accounts is also a very important step for Li Chao.
Having multiple accounts offers greater flexibility, and it's easier to exit early if you participate in a major market move.
Opening an account and obtaining trading permissions for the ChiNext board is relatively simple now.
Of course, multi-account trading is not a necessity at present; it will have to wait until the amount of funds is large enough.
The most important reason he talked to Wen He about this was that he also wanted to receive Wen He's coming-of-age ceremony.
He wasn't that bothered by Qin Nuanyang staring at his account all day; after all, Qin Nuanyang was able to control himself, only looking and talking, but never making decisions for him.
