Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen didn't discourage Dongzi. Anyway, there were plenty of neighborhoods nearby, so he could just look around when the time came.

Ye Chen changed the subject: "So, what about your job? What kind of job are you planning to look for? Shouldn't you consider the convenience of working in the area when buying a house?"

Dongzi waved his hand dismissively: "Any job is fine, it depends on fate. If all else fails, I'll just find a security guard job, no problem. I'm not short of money now!"

Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head: "That's good, that's good. You've avoided decades of detours compared to others. I think being a security guard is pretty good!"

"By the way, where did you get this tank-like car? Didn't you drive an A6 in Shanghai? You can't change cars this quickly, can you?" Dongzi asked, glancing at Patton outside.

"Would you believe me if I said we played the dice game in the neighborhood?" Ye Chen shrugged.

The piece of beef that Dongzi had just put in his mouth fell out immediately.

"Playing the Mid-Autumn Festival dice game? Really? That car must be expensive, it looks like it cost at least several hundred thousand. Your neighborhood is so luxurious!"

Ye Chen coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "You can search for Patton!"

Dongzi's face twitched as he muttered, "There's even a car name like that?"

However, Dongzi still picked up his phone and did some research.

A moment later, Dongzi dropped his chopsticks, stood up abruptly, picked up his phone, and looked out the window to compare the scene.

Holy crap!

"Holy crap, holy crap—!"

Dongzi had run out of adjectives left to use.

"Over three million! And it has to be through overseas channels, holy crap!"

Ye Chen smiled without saying a word. That's right, that's the right reaction!

For the average person, buying a car costs around 10 yuan, with the maximum price being around 20 yuan.

For ordinary people, cars in the million-dollar price range are just something to look at and talk about.

When your brother suddenly gets a car worth millions, it would be abnormal if he were too calm!

It's said that you're afraid your brother will suffer, but you're also afraid your brother will drive a Land Rover.

But Ye Chen isn't driving a Land Rover, so don't be upset, bro!

"Ahem, calm down. I just got a little lucky. I accidentally won the top prize!" Ye Chen said casually.

Dongzi suddenly made up his mind: "Brother Chen, I've decided, I want to be your neighbor. Maybe next year I can become the top scholar!"

Ye Chen grinned: "Uh, hehe, we can talk about being neighbors later. There's no rush to decide. Anyway, I'm free this afternoon, so I'll take you to see some houses~"

Longjin Community is a pure villa area, and even a regular townhouse costs several million yuan.

Detached houses, needless to say, cost at least tens of millions.

A budget of 200 million is barely enough for a down payment!

Moreover, people who can afford villas often prefer unfinished villas and decorate them in their own preferred style.

Therefore, most of the second-hand properties listed are unfinished.

The renovations that follow will be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive.

Given Dongzi's situation, buying a fully furnished apartment is definitely the best option; otherwise, if he buys a bare-bones apartment, a year will have passed by the time he finishes decorating it.

Finding a move-in ready apartment with a style you like is not as simple as just talking about it.

You can only truly understand the feeling of seeing a house in person.

After all, buying a house is not like buying groceries; when it comes to actually buying one, first impressions are very important.

Ye Chen's building was practically a steal!

This is something that can only be considered by Dongzi himself after we take him shopping in the afternoon.

Ye Chen felt that Dongzi could choose a two-bedroom apartment of around 100 square meters as a temporary solution, and save the remaining 100 million yuan. That way, he could live a very comfortable life.

Having rice in your pocket gives you a sense of security in life.

"Brother Chen, what's the name of your neighborhood? I want to check out some listings online!" Dongzi said excitedly, holding his phone.

I definitely need to check out the neighborhood that's connected to Bob Barton!

He'd never even heard of it before!

Ye Chen, worried that Dongzi wouldn't be able to eat, advised, "Are you sure you want to know? Let's eat first, I'll take you to see it this afternoon!"

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, I can't wait! Don't worry, I have a great appetite!" Dongzi urged.

"Then search for Longjin Residential Area!" Ye Chen said helplessly.

Normally, Ye Chen would have kept the villa a secret.

But Dongzi didn't need to hide it, and he wasn't worried about provoking Dongzi, since Dongzi didn't have any financial worries right now. It was just a villa, which wouldn't hurt him.

Dongzi started searching on his phone, and a moment later, he knocked over his bowl...

"Holy crap—"

Dongzi once again used those simple and easy-to-understand adjectives to express the shock he felt at that moment.

"How's it going? Can you still eat now?" Ye Chen glanced at him sideways.

"Cough cough cough, holy crap, Brother Chen, you, you, you bought a villa!"

Dongzi almost choked on his own saliva and spoke in disbelief.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Did you think a regular neighborhood mooncake gambling game would have this kind of perk? Oh right, this wasn't organized by the neighborhood, it was organized by a few older guys I know!"

Dongzi gradually froze on the spot, his appetite indeed gone...

After a long silence, Dongzi sighed deeply, picked up his glass, and poured himself a Sprite: "Come on, Brother Chen, let's have one. We've both graduated for two years, so why are you so outstanding while I have to rely on demolition compensation?"

Ye Chen thought to himself, "Heh, you rely on demolition compensation, I rely on the system. We're evenly matched, so neither of us should envy the other!"

Ye Chen still smiled and comforted Dongzi, saying, "Outstanding my foot! You know my situation. We're pretty much the same. Your house was demolished for compensation, while mine was just like winning the lottery. Come on, let's not laugh at each other, let's have a toast!"

Of course, Dongzi was just sighing. His family's several houses and the compensation money from the demolition were enough to ensure they would live a worry-free life, so they didn't need to envy others at all.

Who has 200 million yuan in cash that they can freely spend? Most people can't even pull 20 yuan out of their pockets.

This is the income of an ordinary person working like a horse for a lifetime!

The two did not talk about this topic for long.

At this moment, Dongzi sighed, "It's been more than two years since graduation. I wonder who's still in Lucheng. Chen-ge, do you keep in touch with them?"

People always think of old classmates when things get better, I don't know why.

If I don't think of my old classmates, it means that life still needs to get better!

Ye Chen shook his head: "We had a class reunion last time, but it was really just Zhang Zihao's flashy bag that got everyone together to show off. After the reunion, everyone went their separate ways and we haven't kept in touch. By the way, you know Lin Rongrong is in Lucheng now, right?!"

"Huh? She's in Lucheng too. Where is she?" Dongzi's body straightened up involuntarily.

"She's here to see her boyfriend!" Ye Chen looked at Dongzi with a half-smile.

Dongzi's eyes dimmed instantly: "Oh, she has a boyfriend? Sigh, that's normal, she's been out of school for two years!"

Ye Chen and Dongzi had been roommates for several years, so how could he not know what Dongzi was thinking?

This guy had a crush on Lin Rongrong since college, but his family wasn't well-off at the time, so he didn't dare confess to her even after graduation.

"But it seems they've broken up!" Ye Chen grinned.

"Damn it, can't you just finish your sentence in one go? Are you trying to annoy me?!" Dongzi cursed and took a bite of beef in anger.
