Mixed in 1980

Chapter 494 The Fourth Brother Sets Sail
"The fourth brother has really mastered the art of using Douyin (TikTok)."

In Dali, at Aduo's Little Abode, Chen Fan saw his daughter's video: "It's good to establish a good image for Wanwan. Times have changed, and it's hard for their generation to hide in the background forever."

Xu Jinqiu slightly pursed her lips: "She's just arguing with someone. Look at the comments section, it's a mess, what kind of people are there?"

"It's pretty good." Chen Fan looked on with a smile.

There were many criticisms, mostly from women who were involved in boxing, but there were even more praises: "Ye Wan is really kind to speak up for a stranger."

"No wonder he was able to take over the Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation."

"Rich people are the same; they like kind and non-materialistic women. No wonder the Fourth Princess uses the phrase 'wife of the household,' it has a different meaning."

"Lucky girl!"

"Good fortune comes from kindness. That Xiao Ya in the video, haha... she must be regretting it now. She didn't recognize a gem in front of her eyes."

"If it were me, I would feel depressed."

"Even billionaires can't accept a bride price of 88 yuan. How can you, who only earns 8000 yuan a month, accept a bride price of 38 yuan?"

"In the eyes of the Chen family, Ye Wan is worth 88 billion, while Xiao Ya... in the eyes of the Chen family, is probably just a piece of merchandise, not worth 88."

"When looking for a woman, you must find a kind one."

……

Such comments were the majority, and there were also a group of gold diggers who cursed Chen Yanyin and Ye Wan, but this time, they were completely torn apart by the criticism.

The account's followers are all there for Xu Jinqiu, Zeng Ali, and Zhao Yuanyuan, so they won't tolerate a bunch of gold diggers and will directly confront them until they break down.

Chen Yan Music is tireless in its pursuit of this.

The next day, the guy who had taken out a loan came to the live stream. His name was Jiang Mingxuan, and he was quite handsome. He bought a jade safety buckle worth 50 yuan.

His girlfriend came with him.

The couple was very sweet and affectionate, especially the girl, who had a strong "green tea" vibe and even sarcastically remarked to Chen Yanyin, "We will definitely always be together."

Chen Yanyin knew what she meant.

When collecting the payment, she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Jiang Mingxuan, "You bought such an expensive jadeite because you're going to marry her, right?"

“Of course!” Jiang Mingxuan nodded solemnly.

"That's good."

Chen Yanyin accepted the money generously, then filmed a video of Jiang Mingxuan personally putting a safety buckle on his girlfriend's finger.

"Okay, you can go."

After seeing the two off, Chen Yanyin posted the video on Douyin with music and captions: "The guy who took out a loan in the live stream is here. He bought a 50 yuan peace buckle."

That's it!

After sending the message, Chen Yanyin narrowed her eyes and asked Xie Yun to bring up the surveillance footage: "A gold digger, all sarcastic and weird, let's see what you can get out of her."

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Chen Yanyin posts a video almost every week, sharing videos of the Xu Jinqiu Charity Foundation's visits to rural areas and its work.

There are also some impoverished students interviewed in the early years.

The purpose was simple: to let everyone understand the process of doing charity. Unexpectedly, it evoked memories for many people born in the 80s and 90s. These people are too nostalgic.

The countryside and people in the material instantly transported their thoughts back to that era.

"It's almost turned into a retro account!"

Chen Yanyin was both amused and exasperated. She started posting new videos, sent by people from Hang Seng Bank in Shenzhen, to interview Jiang Mingxuan as agreed.

A month has passed, and Jiang Mingxuan's life has changed a lot. According to him, his relationship with his girlfriend has improved a lot since he bought the jade.

However, some conflicts have occurred in the last few days.

After paying off the loan, he is living a tight life and can no longer spend money as lavishly as before. However, he said that he will work hard to earn money.

Another month passed.

Chen Yanyin released another video, but the style was completely different. Jiang Mingxuan had a stubble beard, looked haggard, and spoke with a sob in his voice.

The quality of life has declined drastically.

He got dumped!

He lost his girlfriend, his jade, and everything else. If he had to say what he still had, it would be a loan of 50 yuan and monthly installment bills of 5000 yuan.

After the video was released, the comment section was filled with laughter.

The saying "a simp who licks his boots will end up with nothing" is absolutely true. The happier he was when he bought the jade, the more heartbroken he is now.

This serves as a reminder to many people.

Keep your money in your hands. Blindly giving away your money will not only cost you love, but also your money, especially when you encounter a gold digger.

The video went viral, given that it was posted by an account with 3000 million followers, and it quickly rose to the top of Douyin's trending topics. Other bloggers also shared and commented on it.

Bloggers specializing in marriage and relationships, as well as those focusing on emotions, have been posting comments, and even economic bloggers have joined in, discussing the costs of dating and the financial aspects of relationships.

They hyped it up for two days straight.

Chen Yanyin posted another video, captured by the store's security camera. It showed Chen Yanyin deliberately asking, "You bought such an expensive jadeite because you're going to marry her, right?"

“Of course!” Jiang Mingxuan nodded solemnly.

The scene pauses there, followed by Chen Yanyin's voiceover: "Jiang Mingxuan, did you see that? Take this video to court, and you can get your jade safety buckle back."

"Gifts given with the intention of marriage can be returned. That's why I asked that question back then. Remember, please call me a good person."

"Go ask a lawyer. If you need the complete original video, I can provide it."

The video immediately caused a huge stir upon its release!

"Can I get back the money I transferred to my ex-girlfriend?"

"Can a gift given with the intention of marriage be reclaimed as long as evidence is provided?"

"I have a question. When we were dating, I bought furniture, appliances, and installed natural gas for her family. Can I get these back?"

"I was misled into buying her clothes, shoes, and jewelry during our blind date, spending over 30,000 yuan in total. Can I get these back?"

……

At this point, even legal bloggers jumped in to discuss the questions raised by Chen Yanyin and the doubts raised by netizens in the comments section.

For some gold diggers, it's like the sky is falling.

Should some money be returned? In the future, when asking a man for money or things, should I first make it clear that it wasn't a gift intended for marriage?

Our methods need to be updated!
There are also many men who quietly learn to be shrewd. They have no problem dating or spending money, but when it comes to large sums of money, they always have to link it to marriage.

At least we won't lose both our money and our loved ones.

To be fair, Chen Yanyin is a good person, but she also holds grudges. Many netizens remember that Chen Yanyin once posted a video saying that she holds grudges.

This is her revenge!

"Fourth Princess, how do you know so much?"

This is a reply in the comments section. Chen Yanyin liked it and replied, "I am Chen Laosi, a PhD in Economics from Beijing University," along with a smug emoji.

"Wow, my fourth princess is amazing!"

"No princess from a wealthy family is simple. She's a PhD in Economics from Beijing University—I can only look up to her!"

Amidst the online uproar, Chen Yanyin visited Panjiayuan, booked a private room at Baihuwei Tea House, and invited three friends.

Mr. Zhang, the owner of Yuxi Jewelry, and Mr. Yang, the owner of Feitian Jewelry, both previously ran shops in Yangrou Hutong, helping their families purchase jadeite and Hetian jade.

Another one is Mr. Wan, the owner of Wanqian Jewelry, a very powerful Hetian jade collector, with whom we have collaborated many times in recent years.

"Miss Chen, you didn't invite the three of us here just for tea, did you?" Boss Zhang asked with a slight smile, a string of skewers dangling from his hand.

Chen Yanyin took a sip of tea: "There's something I'd like to ask you all to do together. You three should have quite a few Hetian jade pebbles, right?"

"When it comes to jadeite, who dares to compare with you?"

Mr. Yang tapped the armrest lightly and said with a wry smile, "Back then, the jadeite that flowed from my hands to yours totaled more than ten tons, but I've never seen you release it."

Mr. Zhang chimed in, "That's right. When it comes to jade pebbles, especially high-quality ones, the entire market combined doesn't have as much as you do."

Only Boss Wan looked suspicious.

He is a rising star who has only made his fortune in the last ten years or so and did not experience that period of time.

"Don't flatter me, you two. Don't worry, I don't need your jade stones. You have plenty of jade stones on hand, I know that."

Like Mr. Yang, after 1995, seeing the price of jadeite rise, he also started to stock up. Although he received less later, he still had some.

Especially those of lower quality.

There's also Boss Zhang, who occasionally tries to exchange jadeite with Chen Yanyin, but he only wants top-quality jadeite, the kind that costs tens of thousands per gram. He also has quite a lot of second-grade jadeite in stock.

As for Boss Wan, he has a lot of influence in the Western Regions. After the new century, he acquired a lot of jade from the locals and is also a major collector of jade.

"The reason I called you all here today is this: I want to establish an appraisal institution that will only appraise seed jade, and completely separate seed jade from Hetian jade."

Upon hearing this, Zhang, Yang, and Wan all fell silent. Identifying jade pebbles is not difficult; experienced collectors like them can distinguish them without instruments.

Their concern is, is it good to differentiate them?
Does it align with everyone's interests?

If this can be achieved and credibility established, the impact on the Hetian jade market will be enormous, especially for non-seed-type Hetian jade products.

They are all selling these products.
