Chapter 12 - Recovering the Investment in Gold, Renting a Place in Huanlesong Community

"It's not like I have to report every little thing to you, or you'll think I'm taking the money and not doing anything."

"Zhou Xun, I chose to invest in you, which means I trust you. There's no need to report such small matters to me… Hmm…"

Hearing the unusual tone on the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun immediately became a little nervous.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel great."

"But your voice sounds a little shaky. Where are you right now? If you're not feeling well, I'll take you to the hospital immediately."

For Zhou Xun now…

Song Chuan was the most important person to him.

If Song Chuan wasn't around, the subsequent funds wouldn't be able to keep running. Song Chuan couldn't have anything happen to him.

"Swallow deeper."

"Boss, what are you saying? Swallow deeper what?"

Zhou Xun, listening on the phone, was puzzled, but his expression was still very worried.

"Nothing."

"I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."

"Boss, I'm fine, of course. I'm more worried about whether you're okay?"

Song Chuan chuckled, "I'm even better."

"But since the company is established, you don't need to call me 'boss' anymore. Call me Chairman Song."

"Okay, Chairman."

"..."

After Zhou Xun hung up the phone, Song Chuan exhaled a breath.

Yingzi had already gone out.

He was also going to take a shower and get a good night's sleep.

Lying in bed, Song Chuan opened up his gold investment again to see if it had gone up.

Very good.

It's already gone up a bit.

Now, because of the policy changes, gold prices have all increased.

Once he sells the two million in gold he bought, he'll probably recover over a million.

He still has over three million on him.

This made Song Chuan feel somewhat at ease.

But he can't withdraw this money just yet.

Gold hasn't recovered to its highest point yet; selling now wouldn't make much profit.

"I need to wait for it to go higher before selling."

Because he was going out to look for a house the next day, Song Chuan didn't go bother Qiao Yingzi that night. He had a good night's sleep.

The next morning.

Song Qian had already made breakfast and taken Qiao Yingzi out to school.

Qiao Weidong also came out of the bathroom after washing up. He pulled out a chair and sat down, holding a phone in his hand.

"I trust my gut."

"The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates in international news! Why aren't you buying gold? Buy it now!"

"Fang Yuan, you'll regret it if you don't listen to me. Tong Wenjie controls you so tightly. This is the only way you can earn some pocket money."

"Alright, alright, if you're not buying, I'll buy it."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Weidong immediately complained to Song Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, you saw Uncle Fang Yuan when you were little."

"Now, his wife controls every penny he has."

"Don't find a wife like that in the future."

Taking a sip of soy milk, Song Chuan chuckled softly and didn't say anything.

Qiao Weidong is a businessman.

To have achieved his current success.

That means he has a unique eye for profit.

That's when he realized the benefits of gold.

"So, Uncle Qiao, how much gold are you planning to buy?"

"Yesterday's gold price was still 419g, and today it's already back up to 450/g. I feel like it'll keep going up."

"I'm not buying much. Just a few hundred thousand to play around with. Enough to earn some travel expenses."

Later, gold will rise to 800/g.

If he only buys a few hundred thousand...

He'll only earn a tiny bit...

Song Chuan coughed lightly, then couldn't help but remind him, "This... Uncle..."

"Why don't we buy more? More investment, more return, right?"

"Xiao Chuan, you don't understand this. The price of gold changes quickly. If there's a little trouble internationally, the price fluctuates. I don't dare to buy too much. What if I lose it all?"

"But you, why are you so interested in this? Have you bought some too?"

Song Chuan responded lightly, "Yeah."

"You seem to be a finance major, so it's normal to invest in gold. But what your uncle wants to tell you is, don't invest too much."

"Your aunt told me that you helped a big boss make some money, and they gave you the parking lot downstairs directly."

"You didn't invest all that money in gold, did you?"

"No, Uncle, I only invested a little."

How Song Chuan spent his money was his business, and had nothing to do with Qiao Weidong, who naturally wouldn't interfere.

But he still had to say something.

He gently patted Song Chuan's shoulder. "Just invest a little, don't overdo it."

"Otherwise, you'll lose all your hard-earned money, a little here, a little there."

"I think the money from selling those plots of land is enough to buy a house in Jingbei. I'll help you find a reliable job in Jingbei, and then you can go on some dates, how about that?"

"Your dad would be relieved."

Song Chuan understood what Qiao Weidong meant.

Qiao Weidong's company now wasn't built overnight. He had struggled and failed many times in his younger years before succeeding.

So, his advice to Song Chuan was naturally to encourage him to be more stable.

Song Chuan, however, didn't have that in mind.

He knew his own position.

He was an ambitious person.

"Uncle, Aunt has already helped me a lot. I don't want to trouble you anymore. We'll talk about this later."

"Alright."

Qiao Weidong could only offer Song Chuan suggestions; he couldn't force Song Chuan to do things his way.

Now that they had almost finished breakfast, Qiao Weidong took Song Chuan out to look for a rental.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Song Chuan didn't know that Qiao Weidong was going to take him to see a house.

It was only when the car stopped at a community that Song Chuan looked at the green belt outside and felt very familiar!

"Uncle Qiao, is this Huanlesong Community?"

"What? Have you been here before?"

"No, I've looked at the houses here online."

"The houses here are pretty good. They're a bit expensive, but you won't need to spend much since you're renting. At least you'll be comfortable living there."

"I was planning to buy a house here before, but I didn't expect Yingzi to get into Chunfeng Middle School, so I bought one in Shuxiang Yayuan instead."
