6: B-1

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ye was sitting on a lounge chair on the first floor of Wanda Plaza, frowning as he studied a car rental app, pondering what kind of car to rent, when Station Master Wang Dali's phone roared to life.

"Jiang Ye! You damn little brat! Are you so full of yourself that you went and blocked a customer's keyhole?!"

Jiang Ye wordlessly moved his phone away, waiting for the shouting to subside before lazily replying:

"Station Master, is it that Watsons order? I didn't block it, I just went to apologize."

"Apologize my ass! Get your butt back here! The customer called customer service and said she was just trying to scare you yesterday, she didn't complain at all, so don't go looking for trouble! Hear me?!"

Jiang Ye pouted, humming inwardly.

Of course, he knew the other party wouldn't dare to truly complain. People in their line of work wouldn't dare to complain and bring trouble upon themselves.

This call was probably because he had stumbled upon her 'workplace,' making her feel guilty and afraid that he might use it to blackmail her or cause trouble later, so she was preemptively warning and scolding him.

"Got it, Station Master, I left ages ago, didn't block her keyhole. Oh, right, I took the day off today, so I won't be going to the station."

"Didn't you take the day off just to block keyholes? There are a lot of orders today, so hurry back and run deliveries once you're done showing off!"

"I really have something important today, a legitimate matter!"

Wang Dali said "Oh" doubtfully, his tone softening a bit: "Alright then... just don't go bothering that customer again! I think that Girl is quite reasonable."

"Mhm, got it."

Jiang Ye responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone.

Reasonable?

How dare she not be reasonable? Her leverage is almost crushed in my hand.

Tsk, what a pity, I didn't get her WeChat. Otherwise, maybe there could have been a classic scenario: 'Miss Lily, you wouldn't want your 'work' to be known by more people, would you?'

Presumably, to keep her quiet, she wouldn't refuse a small 'token of appreciation,' right?

Cough... stop, stop! Stay away from viruses! Important matters first!

Jiang Ye quickly coughed, shaking off those dangerous thoughts in his head.

Plan A is out, so it's time to activate Plan B!

He refocused his attention on his phone screen, carefully sifting through car rental information.

He currently had 900 yuan, and it was about ten days until his next payday.

The car rental budget could be set at around 800 yuan, leaving 100 yuan for emergencies.

Even if Plan B failed today, he could still borrow a hundred or so from his Buddy to tide him over until payday.

Hmm... there are quite a few choices for an 800 yuan per day car.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Alphard, Range Rover, Audi A6... all look quite respectable.

However, Jiang Ye scratched his head and pondered for a long time, finally settling on a bmw 5 Series.

Today's main target audience is those gold-digging Girls who might 'admire strength' and 'judge people by their cars.' Within the 800 yuan budget, the bmw 5 Series should be quite attractive.

Of course, there's also the more stylish 4 Series coupe, but that one costs 900 yuan per day, exceeding his budget, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

After contacting the car rental company and confirming that Alipay credit could be used for deposit-free rental, he took the subway and then a bus, finally finding the rental company located in the development zone.

The procedures were quick: signing the contract, inspecting the car, and processing the credit-exempt deposit. Before long, Jiang Ye had the keys to a bmw 525Li.

Having settled the important matter of car rental, he didn't rush to start his operation. Instead, he drove straight home and buried himself in sleep.

Last night, he had brainstormed until late into the night, trying to figure out the 'System's Way to Get Rich,' and had barely slept. Now, his eyelids were heavy with fatigue.

He slept soundly until past four in the afternoon when his rumbling stomach woke him up.

Rubbing his empty stomach, he changed into clothes and shoes with no logos but decent quality, started the BMW again, and headed straight for today's destination—Sheng Tian Conservatory of Music.

Regarding this school, there had been endless scandalous rumors online.

And Jiang Ye, as a native of Sheng Tian, had heard countless versions of these stories since childhood.

Perhaps indeed many Girls, for various reasons, got into luxury cars outside the campus.

But there must also be many more who, through their own efforts, resisted temptation and ultimately left campus based on their capabilities.

Ultimately, the path is chosen by oneself.

However, one thing is certain: art schools have always been places where beautiful women gather, and because studying art usually costs a lot, driven by family pressure or personal desires, the proportion of Girls who want to take shortcuts and quickly acquire material wealth is indeed a little higher than in other schools.

Following the strategy he had researched in advance, Jiang Ye drove the car to a service road between the west and south gates of the school and parked it.

Next to it was the intersection leading to the snack street, where people came and went in the evening, often with fashionably dressed young Girls passing by.

He found a spot that wasn't too conspicuous but could still be noticed, parked the car, adjusted the seat, put on some soothing music, and began to quietly wait for the 'fish' to bite.

As the sun set, more and more pedestrians came and went.

Many Girls would curiously glance at the BMW as they passed by, occasionally whispering and pointing, but no one ever proactively came to strike up a conversation.

Jiang Ye felt a little anxious, but he still forced himself not to roll down the window and speak first.

To get a Girl to willingly spend money on you, the man must firmly maintain the initiative and psychological advantage.

Any hint of eagerness or fawning can easily turn a 'quality sugar daddy' into a 'generous fool' or a 'humble lickspittle'.

For now, all he could do was wait.
