Rebirth: My Business Empire

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Ungrateful Wretch, Get Out!



Due to time constraints and the inventory he had to handle,
At the wholesale market,Roses that originally cost one yuan each were bargained down by Ye Chen to just fifty cents per stem.On top of that, he persuaded the flower shop to sell him wrapping paper as well.
In the end, after accounting for subway expenses, Ye Chen used the 100-plus yuan he had in his pocket to buy 300 roses and wrapping paper.
Back at his rented apartment,he immediately got to work packaging each of the roses.It took him more than four hours to finish wrapping all 300 roses.
When he finally arrived at the downtown light show, the romantic love-themed lighting display had already begun!
Because there were no competitors around,Ye Chen didn't even need to pitch his roses.The sight of him carrying a large bag of roses immediately drew couples inspired by the romantic atmosphere to come and inquire.
In such a setting, in such an ambiance, there was no room for bargaining.The roses, priced at 10 yuan per stem, instantly became the most sought-after item on-site!The other vendors selling different goods were left stunned.
"Something that costs no more than one yuan being sold for ten, and without any haggling?!""This is insane profit!"
If it weren't for the lack of time, some of them might have abandoned their own wares to join the flower-selling business.
However, they didn't realize that such high profits were a one-time occurrence, only achievable due to the perfect alignment of time, place, and opportunity.By the next evening, forget high profits—breaking even would be considered lucky.
Regrettably, Ye Chen didn't have enough capital; otherwise, earning tens of thousands wouldn't have been a problem!
Before the romantic light show ended,Ye Chen's bag of roses had already sold out.
In contrast, his WeChat balance now showed a neat 3,000 yuan.
Sitting at a roadside stall, eating a 10-yuan plate of egg fried rice,he looked up at the star-filled sky under the bright moonlight.For the first time, even when he once held billions, his eyes gleamed with a radiance never seen before!
"Yi Nuo, You You, wait for me. Since the heavens have granted me this second chance at life, I will ensure you both live a life of unparalleled glory!"
After whispering to himself with determination,Ye Chen quickly focused on finishing his egg fried rice.
At a residential complex in Jiangzhou.In a three-bedroom apartment with a usable area of less than 80 square meters:
"That loser signed the papers yet?"Liu Xueqin, a woman in her fifties, asked Chen Yi Nuo.
"Not yet," Chen Yi Nuo replied through gritted teeth, her expression grim.
"Not yet? If he hasn't signed, why are you back here? Do you plan to continue living like this? Do you expect me to support you and your daughter forever?"
As soon as Liu Xueqin heard the divorce papers hadn't been signed, she exploded with anger.Her fierce demeanor and tone immediately scared little Ye You You into tears.
"Grandma's mean! Grandma's bad! I don't want to play with Grandma anymore!"
"You ungrateful brat, get out of here! You eat my food, drink my water, live in my house, and now you dare insult me?" Liu Xueqin yelled angrily.
"Mom, how can you talk like that? You You is only four years old. Is it really appropriate to scold her like this?"
Chen Yi Hao, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, quickly picked up the crying Ye You You and expressed his displeasure to his mother.
"What? Are you standing up for this pair now? If it weren't for this blind woman insisting on marrying that loser back then, would she have ended up like this? The men who pursued her back then—any one of them would've been a hundred, even a thousand times better than that loser! But no, she had to ignore the opposition from me and her father and marry him anyway. Look at her now—hasn't she brought this all on herself?
If she had chosen one of those rich heirs, would she be suffering now? Would our family be in this half-dead state? If we had a wealthy son-in-law, you'd have a rich brother-in-law, and we wouldn't have to worry about your wedding apartment! You're not getting any younger; without a wedding apartment, do you think Xiao Qian will marry you? Do you think her parents will agree to the marriage?
And now, instead of understanding our situation, you're arguing with me? Can't you see the state our family is in? This pair eats and drinks here, and if we keep supporting them, your dad and I will burn through our retirement savings. Don't even think about buying you a wedding apartment! If she'd just divorce that loser, I could help her find a wealthy man. But it's been six months, and the divorce still isn't finalized. I'm starting to suspect she's doing this on purpose, that she's still hung up on that loser!"
Liu Xueqin scolded loudly, showing no mercy.She didn't care that Chen Yi Nuo was already in tears.
Initially, Yi Nuo had planned to mention that Ye Chen had agreed to divorce in a month,but now, she felt there was no need.
"Mom, don't you think you're going too far? Yes, my sister made a mistake by marrying the wrong man, but how does that make her a burden to this family? Has she ever failed to contribute to the household expenses? Can't you at least be fair in your judgment? And as for my wedding apartment, I don't need you to worry about it. If Wang Qian doesn't want to marry me, then so be it. I'll stay single for the rest of my life—I don't care!"
Holding Ye You You, Chen Yi Hao shouted back indignantly.
"You—you're trying to drive me to my grave, aren't you?!" Liu Xueqin clutched her chest, trembling with anger.
"Enough!"
At that moment, Chen Jian Guo, who had been silently sitting on the sofa, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.He stood up and glared at Chen Yi Hao.
"What? Do you think your mother and I are wrong for thinking about your future? Are you threatening us with being single?"
Facing his father's stern gaze and harsh words, Chen Yi Hao clenched his teeth and said nothing.
"Is your mother wrong? If your sister hadn't eloped with that scumbag, she'd be living in wealth and luxury by now, and our whole family would be living a good life! Sure, having her and You You here is just another pair of chopsticks at the table. Letting them stay for ten days or so is fine, but for a lifetime?
Do you think Xiao Qian's family doesn't want her to come here because of the lack of a wedding apartment? No, it's because your sister and her kid are living here. This house is already cramped. Adding two more people makes it unbearable! Even if Xiao Qian were willing to marry you without a wedding apartment, would she really accept living with us in this tiny, broken-down place?"
Without even glancing at Yi Nuo or You You,Chen Jian Guo scolded his son, word by word.
"Dad, Mom, stop it! I'll pack my things and leave with You You!"
Wiping her tears, Yi Nuo forced a bitter smile.She turned and walked to the tiny room where she and You You stayed, barely eight square meters in size.
"Sis, don't mind what they said. You and You You can stay here!"
Chen Yi Hao hurried after her, still holding You You, trying to persuade her.
Yi Nuo didn't reply.She quietly continued packing her few belongings.
"Sis, please listen to me! Where will you go if you leave? Back to the rental house to be bullied and beaten by that scumbag again?"
Putting down Ye You You, Chen Yi Hao blocked Yi Nuo's path.
"Yi Hao, I know you mean well, and I thank you for that! But Mom and Dad are right. You You and I are burdens here, adding to the family's troubles. Don't worry, You You and I have somewhere to go. We won't end up on the streets!" Yi Nuo smiled faintly, her expression resolute.
With that, she pushed past Chen Yi Hao.Carrying her luggage in one hand and holding Ye You You's hand in the other, she walked toward the door.
"Mommy, are we going back to see Daddy?" Ye You You asked, her tears having stopped.
Yi Nuo gave a bitter smile but didn't answer, pulling her along.
"Sis!""Sis!""Sis, please listen to me!"
Seeing this, Chen Yi Hao quickly followed after them.
As for Liu Xueqin and Chen Jian Guo, they merely watched coldly as the mother and daughter left,
