#9 - Chapter 9 Did you take a paternity test?
"Ding——"
Lin Chen's phone chimed with a text message.
He took out his phone and looked at it, and it turned out to be a message from the bank, notifying him that the five thousand yuan translation fee had been credited to his account.
"Quite efficient."
Lin Chen muttered to himself.
If the other party said there was a problem with his translation, he would have to argue it out with them properly.
"Xiao Qian, play by yourself for a while."
"Daddy has something to do."
Lin Chen smiled as he touched Lin Xiaoqian's head.
"Okay, Daddy, go ahead."
Lin Xiaoqian said obediently.
Lin Chen went to the study and turned on the computer.
Logging into his email, Lin Chen clicked on the email the other party had sent him.
"Long-term cooperation?"
Lin Chen muttered.
He wasn't very interested in long-term cooperation; the money he could earn was limited.
Even if he earned several thousand a day, that would only be tens of thousands a month.
That might be a lot for ordinary people, but he had a system; earning tens of thousands a month was a joke, wasn't it?
He could earn more than that just by running transportation with the system space.
However, using this to earn some money in the short term was okay.
Excluding Xu Mengyao's sixty thousand yuan, he only had thirty thousand yuan himself.
--Spending a few thousand on things after moving.
If it was just him spending the thirty thousand yuan, he could spend it for quite a while, but with Lin Xiaoqian, it wouldn't last long.
Yesterday's trip to the amusement park cost a lot.
He paid the rent monthly, which was fifteen thousand yuan each month.
"Hello."
Lin Chen quickly added the other party on WeChat.
"Hello, Boss, your translation is fast and good.
We often have some urgent and good jobs here, and the prices will be higher than normal.
Boss, are you interested in cooperating?"
Yao Bin, the director of the translation company, replied from the other end of the phone.
"I just want to earn some pocket money in the short term.
You can send me the tasks.
If I think it's okay, I'll take them."
Lin Chen replied.
"Okay."
Yao Bin felt a little regretful.
But a big shot has the personality of a big shot; he couldn't force it.
If the big shot didn't take orders from him, he could take them from others.
"Boss, I have three orders here."
"See if you're interested in any of them."
Soon, Yao Bin sent Lin Chen three high-difficulty manuscripts.
Their own abilities were somewhat insufficient to do these orders themselves.
If they posted them online to find someone to do them, the difficulty was too high and the price was too low, so no one would take them, and they couldn't guarantee the quality.
"The prices are slightly low; increase them all by ten percent.
If you can, I'll take all three orders."
Lin Chen replied after checking them.
Yao Bin was stunned for a moment: "Can you handle all three? Are you going to be too busy?"
"Not a big problem."
Soon, Yao Bin agreed to Lin Chen's price increase request.
After the price increase of ten percent, the three orders added up to twenty-one thousand.
Lin Chen estimated that it might take a total of ten hours.
Lin Xiaoqian needed to take a nap, with one or two hours at noon and three more hours in the evening; it could be done in two days.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Lin Chen had only added one new skill in these two days.
Singing skill.
This appeared when he was teaching Lin Xiaoqian to sing nursery rhymes.
"Ding——"
A text message came from the bank.
His translation submission had passed, and he had earned twenty-one thousand.
Adding the previous five thousand, he had earned twenty-six thousand in a dozen hours.
Lin Chen felt it; knowledge is power!
He used to work hard for a month and only earn a few thousand yuan.
"Qianqian, you didn't read that correctly just now.
Daddy will read it to you again——"
Lin Chen glanced at the text message and continued to teach Lin Xiaoqian English.
Soon, the system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind: "Host, your French has reached the proficient level."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
He had learned another foreign language.
So easy.
"System, let's do German next."
Lin Chen instructed in his mind; he could choose independently.
"Okay, Host."
"Continue to teach Lin Xiaoqian foreign languages, which will improve your German level."
The system responded.
……
"Knock knock!"
Shen Qing arrived outside Lin Chen's original house.
She knocked for a long time, but no one answered.
"Girl, are you looking for Lin Chen?"
A woman walking down from upstairs asked.
Shen Qing quickly said: "Yes, Auntie, I'm here to find Lin Chen."
The woman sized up Shen Qing: "Are you Lin Xiaoqian's mother?
Xiaoqian is very cute; you parents have to be responsible."
Shen Qing: "……"
"Auntie, you misunderstood; Qianqian is my best friend's daughter."
The woman said a little awkwardly: "Oh, is that so?
Lin Chen doesn't live here anymore; I don't know where he moved to."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Qing quickly went downstairs and left.
"Beep beep!"
Shen Qing dialed Xu Mengyao's phone.
Xu Mengyao often went abroad, and Shen Qing had already activated international long distance.
"Shen Qing, how is it?"
Xu Mengyao asked somewhat nervously.
She knew that Shen Qing would go to Lin Chen's place to check today.
She was worried that Lin Xiaoqian was not doing well.
"Mengyao, Lin Chen moved; didn't he tell you?"
Shen Qing asked.
Xu Mengyao: "No.
I told him not to call me unless it was important, and he hasn't called me.
I'll call him and ask, and I'll talk to you later."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mengyao dialed Lin Chen's phone.
"Hello——"
Lin Chen answered the phone.
He already knew that this number was Xu Mengyao's.
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen, where did you move to?
A friend of mine went to see Qianqian and found out that you moved."
Lin Chen said: "Purple Garden Community, Building 5, 2001.
You don't have to worry; Xiaoqian is my daughter, and I won't mistreat her."
"Did you do a paternity test?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
"No, Xiaoqian and I look very similar, and I believe you wouldn't lie about this kind of thing.
With your conditions, you can find a bunch of takers in minutes."
Lin Chen said, "You talk to Xiaoqian."
Turning on the speakerphone, Lin Chen gave the phone to Lin Xiaoqian.
He took the initiative to get up and go to the bathroom.
"Qianqian, how do you feel about being with Daddy for a few days?
Do you still want to continue living with Daddy?"
Xu Mengyao asked.
Lin Xiaoqian said happily: "Of course I want to.
Mom, let me tell you, Daddy is so amazing; he's a superman."
"Oh? Where is Daddy amazing?"
Lin Xiaoqian held the phone and said: "Daddy is amazing in everything.
He teaches me to sing, draw, write, and tells me stories."
"Daddy knows so many stories."
"Mom, when are you coming back?
Qianqian misses you so much."
Xu Mengyao said: "Mom will be back in a week."
Lin Xiaoqian's grandmother's surgery was relatively successful, but she is still in the hospital.
After chatting with Lin Xiaoqian for a while, Xu Mengyao hung up the phone.
She told Shen Qing Lin Chen's new address.
"Shen Qing, when you get to Purple Garden Community and Lin Chen's place, take a few more photos and send them to me."
Xu Mengyao instructed.
"Yes, ma'am."
Purple Garden Community wasn't far away, and Shen Qing arrived quickly by car.
After registering as a visitor, Shen Qing entered the community.
"This community is not bad."
Shen Qing muttered to herself.
She checked online, and the housing prices in Purple Garden Community were not cheap.
"Ding-dong——"
Shen Qing arrived outside the door of Building 5, 2001, and rang the doorbell.
