Chapter 1076: Chapter 1046: At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood why the men who came for interviews left with nosebleeds. Fortunately, Ye Chen often interacted with Ms. Yan and had seen many youthful and beautiful girls. Seeing Ms. Yan dressed so alluringly, he was momentarily dazzled, but quickly regained composure. “What’s your name?” Ms. Yan looked at Ye Chen from head to toe. When she saw the glimmer in Ye Chen’s eyes, her own eyes lit up, as if she had found the person she was looking for. Ye Chen really wanted to tell Ms. Yan that he was Ye Chen, but he couldn’t, because he knew that if he revealed his identity, Ms. Yan would end up dead. Ye Chen didn’t dare joke around with Ms. Yan’s life. He sat upright and said, “My name is Chen Ye. Chen as in ‘ear-east’, Ye as in ‘mouth-ten’!” “Hmm. Chen Ye, a nice name!” Ms. Yan smiled lightly and said, “What was your previous job? If you want to work in this bar, you must be able to endure hardships. However, I can promise that the salary here won’t be low!” “I used to work as a mover, so I can definitely endure hardships!” Ye Chen nodded. As he spoke, the spirited demeanor he demonstrated made Ms. Yan a bit hesitant. So many rich young men had pursued her, some even going crazy over her. Ms. Yan thought to herself, what if this Chen Ye was actually a wealthy young man coming for her? She felt conflicted. Ye Chen quickly added, “Madam, if you’re not confident, you can try me first. Use me for free for three days and then decide based on my performance!” “Alright!” Yun Yan nodded and said, “Chen Ye, stay on for now. Work hard in the future. Later, you can find Li Ling to get a work uniform. Look at how shabby you are dressed now. Although our bar is not particularly upscale, your attire really is!” “I understand, madam!” Ye Chen quickly replied with a smile. “Don’t call me madam, just call me by my name, Yun Yan!” After saying this, Ms. Yan called out to the female manager at the door, “Li Ling, let’s wrap it up today. Collect Chen Ye’s information and give him a work uniform. Also, give him an advance of one thousand yuan. I’m going to rest!” With that, Ms. Yan left without looking back. From between her eyebrows, Ye Chen could sense her inner anxiety and worry. Perhaps she was worried about him. Although Ye Chen didn’t know how Ms. Yan returned from Leisure City, he could imagine her anxiety and unease when she couldn’t find him. Watching Ms. Yan’s back, Ye Chen wished so much to follow her upstairs and tell her that he was Ye Chen, the Ye Chen she missed dearly. However, reality was so cruel and nothing could go that smoothly. Ye Chen could only accept reality, constantly thinking about how to approach Ms. Yan and make her fall in love with him. As long as she said those three words to him, everything could return to reality. Unfortunately, it’s a long and extremely challenging process. Ye Chen understood that to win this protracted battle, he must have firm confidence. Ye Chen gritted his teeth, constantly telling himself that he could do it. No matter how treacherous the journey or how difficult the road, since he had chosen this path, he would walk it even if he had to crawl. Ye Chen received a black uniform, the work attire at the Night Color Bar. However, Li Ling arranged for Ye Chen to start work tomorrow afternoon, with a break to eat and rest from five to six in the evening, working until one in the morning, a full ten hours. However, with a monthly salary of over three thousand, these ten hours were certainly worth it. There was one day off every week. Ye Chen felt satisfied, but he was more concerned about Ms. Yan’s work schedule. If Ms. Yan wasn’t at the bar often, wouldn’t his work here be in vain? But now that Ms. Yan had separated from the Church Court, he believed she wouldn’t continue dealings with them, so she should stay at the bar every day, right? Returning to his place, Ye Chen decided to change where he lived, as staying in that godforsaken place would shorten his life. Ye Chen hurriedly moved to a new location, originally planning to stay at Xin Hai Apartment. However, when he entered Xin Hai Apartment the next morning, he saw a familiar figure already standing in the complex. “Yan…” Ye Chen was about to call out to Ms. Yan, but then he remembered the disparity in their identities and quickly swallowed the words. He then said, “Madam, why are you here?” “I…” Yun Yan was startled, looking at Ye Chen with curiosity. After changing clothes, this guy looked much more handsome, wearing a black suit, his hair tousled, somewhat resembling Rukawa Kaede. Yun Yan smiled and said, “I came to see a friend. What about you? What brings you here?” “Me?” Ye Chen was taken aback. He was about to say that he lived here, but then changed his tone and smiled, “What a coincidence, I also came to see a friend. I didn’t expect us to run into each other!” “Yes!” Yun Yan nodded, gave an awkward smile, and then said, “I… I have something to do, so I’ll… I’ll go first!” “Alright, how about I walk you out?” Ye Chen hurried to catch up. Yun Yan showed a strange expression, quickly shaking her head, “No, no need, I can go myself!” After saying that, she immediately got into a black Toyota nearby and quickly left Xin Hai Apartment. Ye Chen was stunned as he watched Ms. Yan speed away, sighing at his first failed attempt to make contact, which also dealt a heavy blow to his confidence. Ye Chen couldn’t help but curse the old man who set challenges for him deep down in his heart. Ye Chen turned his head to watch Ms. Yan’s receding figure, feeling deeply conflicted. He was very afraid of failure, and even afraid that Ms. Yan would never get close to another man because of him. Ye Chen felt very strange inside; he didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. If Ms. Yan suddenly accepted the current him, he should feel sad because she so quickly forgot the real him. If Ms. Yan didn’t accept him, the real him would never meet her. Contradictions, far too many contradictions. Since ancient times, this world has never lacked the presence of contradictions. Ye Chen packed some things, then entered the apartment. It hadn’t been lived in for a long time, and dust was everywhere. Ye Chen glanced around and decided not to stay in this place; otherwise, he was afraid it would be trouble if Ms. Yan found out later. After a simple clean-up, he grabbed a few outfits he seldom wore and hurriedly left Xin Hai Apartment. Without a place to stay, naturally, he had to find a residence. In a person’s life, there are just a few basic needs: one is a bed you can sleep on, the other is food to satisfy your mouth. Ye Chen found a place to stay, which used to be the temporary home of a little brother, and now Ye Chen is staying there temporarily. He wasn’t sure if it would be discovered. Ye Chen tidied up a bit and then went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. This place wasn’t far from University City, so it was quite a bustling area. After buying the items, Ye Chen specifically strolled around University City. He even wandered around in the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s casino. The little brothers of the Heavenly Reversal Gang were guarding the casino. This casino’s business was much more prosperous than before, and the casinos here and in several places in Tongzhou City were where the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s funds were concentrated. Without these casinos, the Heavenly Reversal Gang wouldn’t be what it is today. The Heavenly Reversal Gang managed to get where it was, not only relying on a gang of loyal little brothers but also on this foundation. Ye Chen also exchanged over a thousand yuan of Crystal Coins and gambled heavily at the casino. At first, Ye Chen was very cautious, even winning over a thousand, but later, his gambling addiction kicked in, so he began to bet heavily and ended up losing everything. “Brother, lost it all?” A little brother from the Heavenly Reversal Gang immediately came over. “Yeah!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Lost it all. At first, I won over a thousand, who knew it would all disappear in an instant later!” “Want to get some more coins?” the little brother grinned. “No need, I don’t have any money left!” Ye Chen shrugged. Yesterday’s salary advance was all spent today; where would he have money to continue gambling? The reckless spending was entirely Ye Chen’s nature. Now thinking back, he seemed to have no money on him, but luckily the Night Color Bar provided meals, so Ye Chen didn’t have to worry about food. He smiled bitterly inside, couldn’t believe in a blink, he had returned to an ordinary life. “No money is not a problem, just afraid you don’t want to gamble anymore!” the little brother grinned and said, “Our casino offers a small loan service, under 100,000, above 1,000. You see, should you get a few thousand to play? How can a man be content with losing? At least get back your principal, don’t you think?” “Hmm? Your casino even offers loan services?” Ye Chen was a bit surprised. He was a bit shocked inside, not bad at all. He didn’t know whose idea it was. At least this way, it could increase the casino’s income. Ye Chen hated two kinds of people the most in his life: one was corrupt officials, the other was gamblers! As for the former, it wasn’t his business, but the latter, huh, anyone who came inside to gamble and left without even their underwear, that would be the best. After all, they didn’t cherish their wonderful life; what’s wrong with doing something else? Why become a gambling addict? “Of course!” the little brother immediately nodded and said, “We not only offer loan services but also provide accommodation services, bodyguard services, and entertainment services! Brother, want to try some?” “Forget it, I won’t gamble anymore. If I lose, I won’t have money to pay back!” Ye Chen quickly waved his hand. “No money, then just wait for next month’s salary!” the little brother quickly blocked Ye Chen, smiling and said, “Opportunities don’t come often, you must know, my monthly loan quota is limited, and our loans aren’t given to just anyone, but meant for social top-tier individuals like you.” “Haha, then let me ask, what’s your daily interest rate?” Ye Chen asked curiously. “The amount of your loan determines the interest rate!” the little brother quickly introduced to Ye Chen, “If you loan less than five thousand, then it’s one percent daily; if your loan is below fifty thousand, then the daily rate is 0.5 percent; if your loan amount is one hundred thousand, then the daily interest is 0.25 percent. In the end, it’s not that much!” “Uh…” Ye Chen was stunned, exclaiming, “If it drags on for a month, with interest on interest, the rates are terrifyingly high!! And, if a month passes and I can’t pay, what then?” Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 “So, you repay on time, and won’t have a problem!” the little brother laughed. “That’s true too!” Ye Chen nodded, then said, “I think I better not, I’ll talk about it next time. Now I have to hurry to work!”
