Zhao Yadong understood right away. Even with a lock, if someone really has their eye on it, you just can't guard against them. "Alright, I'll help you go exchange it."
"But they'll have to take a look at it first."
"It's fine." Zhang Yu had no intention of asking for cash; money would depreciate, but Gold wouldn't.
And if she was going to buy a siheyuan in the future, using Gold to trade would definitely be better than handing over cash, so she wanted to convert as much as possible into gold bars.
As for telling Zhao Yadong that gold bars were easier to hide, that was just to fob him off. Anything that really mattered—ID card, cash and so on—she kept in the space. That was the only truly safe place.
It wasn't like there was no money in the dorm, just not much, only a little over ten yuan. If there was no money at all, people would feel suspicious.
