The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

47

Not only did he feel "not good," but Ye Ze Xi was already calculating in his head how he could negotiate for a longer break.

However, before he could speak, Ye Jianbin continued, "Also, remember when I cut off your credit card? Well, now that you can earn your own money, I've decided not to reinstate it."

"As for the company dividends, I'll set them aside or invest them for you. When you start a family, I'll give that money to you."

"Your brother is in the same boat. I've stopped his card too. He's living off his own earnings now, making five thousand a month as my assistant."

As if afraid Ye Ze Xi might be upset, Ye Jianbin added, "That's pre-tax. I haven't given him any extra on the side, so he's making less than you."

Ye Ze Xi, who was about to speak: "..."

Brilliant. A perfect move, cutting off the very foundation of Ye Ze Xi's dream of living off dividends.

And to top it off, Ye Jianbin made a comparison, pointing out that Ye Haoyan is suffering just as much. Now Ye Ze Xi couldn't even feel resentful.

He almost wanted to applaud!

Isn't there a saying, "A father knows his son best"? Ye Jianbin's tactic completely shut down any escape route Ye Ze Xi had in mind.

Sure, Ye Ze Xi had some money now, but money doesn't multiply on its own.

In one or two years, he wouldn't run out, but in ten or more years, his funds would definitely be depleted, not even accounting for inflation.

And starting a family? Ye Ze Xi had no plans of getting married—so where would the "family" come from?

With no response from Ye Ze Xi, Ye Jianbin asked again, "What do you think?"

Ye Ze Xi sighed inwardly and quickly adjusted his plans.

Originally, he wanted to quit the industry immediately. But now, that seemed unrealistic. He would likely have to keep earning in the entertainment industry for a few more years.

However, that didn't mean he couldn't still take a year off!

At least for now, Ye Zexi had enough money, so even if he spent extravagantly during this year-long break, he wouldn't run out of funds!

After all, he had no pressing need for housing—he already owned a house and a car. The rest was just daily expenses, and how much could food and clothes really cost?

With that thought, Ye Zexi finally responded, "Alright, I'll follow Dad's arrangements."

For now, he would agree and keep Ye Jianbin content. When it came time to sign contracts in three months, Ye Zexi could always arrange a spontaneous trip abroad in September. After all, he had full control over his own movements—he could go wherever he wanted!

On the other end of the line, Ye Jianbin had no idea what Ye Zexi was really thinking. Pleased with how readily Ye Zexi agreed to his suggestions, Ye Jianbin felt quite happy.

It seemed Ye Zexi had truly matured—he was even willing to listen to advice now.

"Alright then, I'll have a good talk with Assistant Gao," Ye Jianbin said.

They also made plans for Ye Zexi to come home for the New Year's Eve dinner before Ye Jianbin ended the call.

As for Ye Zexi, he immediately began researching fun vacation spots abroad.

If he couldn't leave before the New Year, he would head out after. Either way, he was determined to take a full year off!

A year meant exactly a year—not a day, hour, minute, or second less!①
