7: Chapter 7 Plan B - 2

Night slowly fell, and as it neared seven o'clock, the passenger door was finally gently pulled open.

A Girl with long, straight black hair and exquisite makeup sat in, naturally adjusting the seat to make herself more comfortable.

Jiang Ye carefully sized her up.

Good figure, decent looks, definitely above average.

Her charm felt like it hovered around 80 points, in a Schrödinger's state, a bit risky.

The Girl saw him staring at her, but she wasn't shy. She smiled, crossed her legs, which were clad in 'bare leg' tights, and wiggled two slender fingers in front of him:

"Bro, is this okay?"

Jiang Ye's eyelid twitched, and Lily's 'industry price guide' flashed through his mind.

Good heavens!

You really dare to ask for that much!

Lily, looking like that, only charged 400 or 600, and you're asking for 2000 right off the bat? Is it studded with diamonds or something?

"Sorry, I'm waiting for someone."

"Oh..."

The Girl raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and simply opened the door and left.

Jiang Ye watched her leave, letting out a soft hum.

2000!

With that money, I'd... wait a minute!

Could the two fingers she showed have meant 200?

Lily at 600, her at 200, that price point would be much more reasonable! Could I have misunderstood?

200... I heard those Buddies in the dorm say Jincheng was ridiculously expensive, I didn't expect Shengtian to be so cheap?

Could it be that some live streamer brought the prices down? What boundless merit!

Shaking his head to clear away these random thoughts, Jiang Ye continued to wait patiently.

After a while, the passenger door was pulled open again.

This time, Jiang Ye casually glanced at the Girl who got in and immediately sentenced her to 'death' in his heart—definitely not 80, too big a hardware gap.

Before she could even settle in, he waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling for her to get out.

The Girl pouted, muttered, "Hmph, what's so great about him," slammed the door, and left.

As it neared eight o'clock, Jiang Ye's stomach rumbled with hunger, and his confidence began to waver when the passenger door was pulled open for the third time.

This time, his eyes suddenly lit up!

The Girl in front of him was wearing a long, off-white down jacket and a gray scarf. Her features were bright and elegant, her makeup just right, and she had the cool demeanor of an art student.

If yesterday's Lily could score 90 points, Jiang Ye estimated this one could at least be an 85 or 86!

The Girl quickly glanced at Jiang Ye first. When she realized the driver was a young man, she was visibly startled, a trace of surprise flashing across her face before she smiled and sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Ye shot her a glance and asked casually, "Girl, what's the deal?"

The Girl turned her face slightly towards the car window and clearly stated a price: "One month... 50,000."

Jiang Ye: "!!!"

His eyelids twitched violently a few times, and he coughed heavily twice, then started fumbling around the car: "My throat is so dry! Hey? Where did I put my water? Is it gone?"

With that, he made a move to start the car.

The Girl next to him was startled to see him about to drive off without discussing anything: "Bro, where are we going?"

Jiang Ye pointed to the brightly lit convenience store not far away: "Thirsty, going to buy a bottle of water first. I can't just walk over there and leave you alone in the car, or have you get out and wait, can I? Hmm... I wonder if it's easy to park over there."

After speaking, he quietly watched her, waiting for her reaction.

This was the core tactic of Plan B that Jiang Ye had racked his brains to come up with.

Spending a huge sum of 800 yuan to rent this BMW, waiting near the school for suitable targets, looking for potential candidates with acceptable charm, good judgment, and active minds!

The amount of money didn't matter; what was important was that they had the intention, the awareness and action of 'proactively contributing'!

Just like now, he deliberately created a situation where he needed to leave the car. If the other party was sensible, they might proactively say, 'Bro, you wait here, I'll go buy it for you.'

Although a few yuan for water, even with a tenfold cashback, would only be a few tens of yuan, it could screen out suitable targets, allowing him to continue trying to make contact and invest further.

Hmm... it sounded like the success rate was very low, heavily relying on luck and the Girl's 'comprehension,' but Jiang Ye really couldn't think of any other way to quickly screen suitable targets.

Unfortunately, this bright and beautiful 85-point Girl clearly didn't get his 'good intentions.'

She felt a bit awkward under Jiang Ye's gaze, vaguely scratched her hair, and finally just said dryly, "Oh."

Jiang Ye's heart instantly sank by half.

Alas, this one was 'dense.'

He secretly sighed, directly turned off the engine, leaned back in his seat, and waved his hand listlessly:

"Never mind, I'm waiting for someone. You can go."

The Girl was stunned, seemingly not understanding why he was suddenly 'waiting for someone,' but she didn't ask further and simply opened the door and got out.

For a while after that, two more Girls successively got into the passenger seat, and two others directly knocked on the driver's window.

But either their charm value was clearly below standard, or they immediately brought up a naked transaction, completely lacking the 'spirit' and 'discernment' Jiang Ye hoped for.

He checked the time on his phone; it was already ten o'clock at night.

The pedestrians on the street gradually thinned out, and the entrance of the Conservatory of Music also became deserted.

A deep sense of fatigue and frustration welled up in his heart.

Could it be... that my flawless, supremely clever Plan B, this huge investment of 800 yuan, is going to be wasted again?

Not even the most basic 'buying water' test could be passed by anyone, let alone someone noticing his stomach rumbling from being hungry all day.

He let out a long sigh, feeling utterly drained.

It seems luck isn't on my side today; I can only retreat for now.

But it doesn't matter, I'll go home, rest up, and fight again tomorrow with Plan C—

During the day, find a high-end matchmaking agency and have them arrange blind dates for him, specifically requesting older single beauties who are independent, financially well-off, strong-willed, and a bit bad-tempered.

Although such people are harder to deal with, there's one good thing: during blind date meals, they are highly likely to pay the bill proactively out of pride, habit, or simply to show their status!

As long as she pays the bill... just as he was calculating his grand blind date plan for tomorrow and reaching to shift gears, preparing to leave this sad place—

The passenger door was suddenly yanked open, and a woman reeking of alcohol, completely drunk, stumbled in.

She kicked off her shoes, casually reclined the seat, and collapsed like a puddle of mud, mumbling incoherently:

"0562... Master, let's... let's go."
