Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

Ye Cheng bought a second-hand electric tricycle on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).

The next day after get off work, she went straight to the meeting place with the car owner.

The car owner sells stinky tofu and skewers. He said he's made money and his family is pressuring him to get married, so he's in a hurry to go back to the countryside to build a house and get married.

A nearly new three-wheeled food cart is available for sale at a low price of only 2500 yuan.

The food cart was custom-made by the owner, equipped with a stainless steel frame, canopy, and battery. It also comes fully equipped with a soup pot, fryer, and other miscellaneous accessories. All that's needed is to change the advertisement, add their own signboard and payment QR code, and they can start doing business.

After comparing several options, this price is indeed a great deal.

I'll work hard to make money from side hustles from now on, and I'll rely on this!

When Ye Cheng drove the tricycle back, she encountered a small problem.

It was the same security guard who had previously refused to let her into the community because he had given her the wrong surname.

The security guard was extremely conscientious and responsible in his work; this time, he stopped Ye Cheng and her car at the entrance of the residential area.

The reason given is that such a car has never been parked in the residential area before.

Actually, the management office did not have any explicit regulations prohibiting electric tricycles from entering or leaving the area. It's just that the residents of communities like Jingtai Garden are mostly middle-class, and no one would do something like setting up a street stall.

Naturally, no tricycles will appear in the community.

After much persuasion, Ye Cheng finally convinced the security guard to report the matter to the property management office, which then required Ye Cheng to pay a parking fee of 60 yuan per month.

After completing the formalities, they drove the tricycle into the residential area.

After locking the car in the ground floor, Ye Cheng entered the elevator and happened to run into Ji Lingfeng coming up from the parking lot.

Ye Cheng was in high spirits, and proudly tossed her car keys in front of Ji Lingfeng: "I can set up a stall to sell stinky tofu tomorrow!"

Upon hearing the name "stinky tofu," Ji Lingfeng took two steps back, still feeling a lingering fear.

It was as if I could smell that indescribable odor again.

Ye Cheng continued babbling on with great interest.

"I was lucky. I found this used food cart online. The owner was in a hurry to go back to his hometown to get married, so he was selling it for a low price of 2500 yuan. I guess I got a bargain."

"I did the math. In Shenzhen, a small portion of stinky tofu costs ten yuan, and a large portion costs twenty yuan. Assuming a 50% profit margin, if I can sell 50 portions a day, that's more than I can earn doing a part-time job for several hours outside. I can recoup the cost of the food cart in a month."

"If business is good and I can sell 100 servings a day, my net profit can reach seven or eight hundred yuan a day. Even if I set up a stall for twenty days a month, it will still be more than the salary I earn from my job!"

"If we work a full-time job during the day and do a side job at night, and work hard for a few years, we'll be able to save up for a down payment on a house!"

Ye Cheng was excitedly talking and dreaming, his eyes filled with money symbols $_$.

Looking at the woman in front of him, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, Ji Lingfeng's lips twitched slightly.

He's even bought a tricycle; it seems his wife is determined to work with stinky tofu.

He even dreamed of making money by selling stinky tofu to buy a house.

Ji Lingfeng's lips curled into a disdainful smile, but his expression suddenly darkened slightly.

The woman just said "we".

He planned to get a divorce in six months.

His cheap wife seems to have forgotten about this!

Ji Lingfeng frowned deeply.

Ye Cheng kept talking about "money, money, money" all the way from the elevator to her home.

Money is a good thing.

We all love you.

……

The phone rang.

The ringtone was still that same catchy tune.

Ye Cheng pursed her lips.

The call was from my younger brother, Ye Sheng.

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Ye Sheng only comes to his sister either to borrow money or to ask for something in return.

"Sis, are you off work? There's something I want to discuss with you."

Sure enough, trouble came knocking.

Ye Cheng asked calmly, "What is it?"

She made up her mind that if Ye Sheng asked to borrow money, she definitely wouldn't lend it to him.

She needs money for everything: setting up a stall to buy goods, household expenses, her mother's living expenses, and so on. She also needs to make a living.

Besides, Ye Sheng's so-called "borrowing money" was just taking money; he never actually paid it back.

It's a bottomless pit.

Ye Sheng didn't stand on ceremony on the other end of the phone and said directly, "Qingqing wants to go on a road trip to the next city for a couple of days. I'd like to borrow your car."

"Where's your own car? Haven't you been saying you'd buy a car? Haven't you bought one yet?"

Ye Cheng was a little surprised.

This time, instead of asking for money, he asked to borrow the car.

Ye Sheng said with a hint of mockery:

"With your dowry of tens of thousands of yuan, what kind of nice car can you buy? You might as well use that money to renovate your house."

Finally, with a grin, he said:

"Sis, Qingqing and I are planning not to buy a car for now. We can just borrow one from you when we need it, so it'll be easier."

Haha, so that's what you were planning.

Her younger brother really knows how to "spend shrewdly" managing his finances.

Ye Cheng said irritably, "Ye Sheng, that car isn't mine, it's..."

"It belongs to my brother-in-law, of course I know!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Sheng interrupted him.

"My brother-in-law's car is your car!"

Ye Cheng said, "I can't make that decision either. Besides, your brother-in-law needs a car to get to work."

Ye Sheng continued to shamelessly persist:

"What? Didn't my brother-in-law say he'd be laid off next month? Tomorrow's the 1st, and the car's just sitting idle anyway."

Ye Cheng then remembered that today was the last day of the month, so Ji Lingfeng wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow. She wondered if he had found another job.

"Sis, now that you're married, you seem to be treating your own brother like a stranger. It's just borrowing a car; I can borrow one from my colleagues. Aren't we still family?"

Ye Sheng's tone was sour.

Having come this far, Ye Cheng could no longer refuse.

"I'll ask and get back to you later."

Ye Sheng replied excitedly on the other end of the phone:

"Okay! Sis, just send me the address and I'll come pick it up myself."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Cheng glanced at Ji Lingfeng.

Ji Lingfeng sat calmly on the sofa, looking down at his phone.

He still had that cool, aloof face, sitting there with an elegant posture, like a pleasing painting.

"Ji Lingfeng, I want to ask you, starting tomorrow, do I no longer need to go back to work at my previous company?"

Ye Cheng spoke cautiously, afraid of hurting the man's fragile heart.

After all, they had a disagreement about work just a few days ago, and now this sensitive topic has been brought up again.

"Ok?"

Ji Lingfeng looked up and paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He almost forgot that tomorrow would be the day he officially became "unemployed".

"So you haven't found a new job yet, have you?" Ye Cheng asked tentatively.

"Yes, you know that finding a satisfactory job these days isn't easy. What, are you in a hurry?"

She's only just started to "lose her job," and she's already starting to look down on her unemployed husband?

Are we going to try and persuade him to become a driver again?
