46: Caught a whale

“Your clothes are dirty, I’ll buy you a new one.”

Xu Zimo looked at Huang Yuqing meaningfully.

Of course, he couldn't treat Huang Yuqing the same way he treated Jiang Yuwei and Lu Jiaqi.

But, it wasn't impossible to give her a taste of something sweet.

He had to maintain a good balance.

This way, while increasing her favorability, it also conveyed a message: doing things well can lead to rewards.

Huang Yuqing followed his gaze and also noticed the impropriety, her face immediately flushing slightly.

Although the clothes were second-hand, she usually took great care of them, typically only wearing them for various photo shoots.

Normally, if they got dirty, she would feel distressed for a long time.

Now… Xu Zimo actually said he wanted to buy her new ones?!

She was overjoyed.

Originally, buying a Chanel classic bag had already made Huang Yuqing very satisfied; otherwise, she wouldn’t have done what she did.

Of course, she was also worried that this might be too much, so she said, “The clothes can still be worn after washing. How about we forget it?”

Socialites are actually in a very awkward position.

The rich look down on them.

The poor can’t afford to keep them.

Huang Yuqing was like this; glamorous on the surface, but in reality, she had to split bills even when going to an Internet Celebrity store.

There was no other way; the simp economy was failing.

Since they branded themselves as Socialites, they were actually a group of people who cared deeply about appearances. Wasn't the life they ostentatiously displayed on their Moments just telling those waiting for them to make a fool of themselves that they were living well?

Even if life was tough, they could only swallow it themselves.

“I caused it, so of course I have to take responsibility.”

For some reason, when Huang Yuqing heard these words, her nose suddenly tingled, and her eyes reddened.

[Huang Yuqing Favorability +10]

See?

Didn't the favorability just come?

The two went to LV, where Xu Zimo bought her a new summer dress and a pair of high heels, totaling sixty-seven thousand.

It was really expensive.

However, with the relocation fund, Xu Zimo didn't feel bad.

After buying the items, Huang Yuqing kept hesitating to speak until they reached the garage. She got into the car and then said, “Zimo, I… I’d like to treat you to a meal, if that’s okay?”

When they first started shopping, she was happy, but now she felt a little uneasy, fearing that Xu Zimo was only buying these things to settle her.

“No need for a meal.”

Xu Zimo naturally knew what she meant by a meal. As her expression darkened, he then said, “If you can maintain your integrity in the future and do things for me, I can give you… one hundred thousand living expenses each month.”

“One hundred thousand?”

Huang Yuqing looked at him, completely stunned.

Although there were many people online claiming to earn one hundred thousand a month, in reality, less than three percent of the population earned that much.

“Don’t worry, I…”

Just as she was about to promise, Xu Zimo said directly, “Send me your card number.”

Promises were useless.

With the system, it was impossible to deceive him.

Soon, one hundred thousand was transferred to Huang Yuqing’s card. Looking at the balance, she was inexplicably excited and couldn’t help but ask, “Zimo, can I follow you?”

“I already have a girlfriend.”

Huang Yuqing had actually anticipated this outcome, but when she was truly rejected, her heart still felt bitter.

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing to work for me, your living expenses won’t be cut.”

Only after receiving this assurance did she feel a little relieved.

With such high living expenses each month, why would she need anything else?!

Thinking about her Best Friends who were still splitting bills, her current situation was undoubtedly much better than theirs.

Back at her rented apartment.

Huang Yuqing then started taking photos. It was just one bag, one dress, and one pair of shoes, but she managed to create a nine-grid post.

There were shopping bags, the actual items, and even the effect of wearing them.

She made a few edits,shield Wang Pingping’s details, and then happily posted to her Moments.

Soon, the likes started pouring in.

Among them were simps, and also people from her circle.

“Wow, goddess is committing beautiful crimes again!”

“My ideal type has finally appeared!”

Such comments were, of course, from simps, and Huang Yuqing mostly ignored them.

Beautiful women never lacked people praising their beauty.

Moreover, was she posting to her Moments to show off her beauty?!

No discernment, which further indicated no real power, so she simply blocked them directly.

She no longer needed to “fish,” and if Xu Zimo found out, it would be more trouble than it was worth.

“Oh my god, Yuqing, this is LV’s new summer dress and shoes. I just saw them the day before yesterday; they cost almost seventy thousand. Sister, you’ve hit the jackpot!”

“Chanel’s classic bag, I really love that bag, Yuqing, you actually got it! So envious, so, so envious…”

“Shopping for over a hundred thousand at once, sister, take me with you!”

The praise and envy from her sisters in the circle brought immense satisfaction to Huang Yuqing.

Before, her life was an act, but now the living expenses Xu Zimo provided were enough for her to live the life she wanted.

Just thinking about it, her slightly gloomy mood instantly improved.

Since Xu Zimo thought she was bad at it, then… she had to practice more.

She was someone who listened to advice.

At the same time, the trio of Best Friends who had been splitting bills with Huang Yuqing earlier had almost finished their food and were preparing to leave.

Although it was just a drink and a small dessert, about half the size of a palm, they could make it last for several hours.

Of course, most of that time was spent chatting.

The life of a Socialite was just that simple and unpretentious.

The Older Sister Type wearing rimless glasses held her phone, intermittently chatting with the other two.

Just as she stood up, the Older Sister Type saw Huang Yuqing’s Moments post.

She had only recently joined the circle and didn't know much about various luxury item styles and prices, but she recognized the Chanel and LV logos.

Since they were mutual friends and it couldn't be hidden anyway, the Older Sister Type said to the other two, “Look, Yuqing posted to her Moments.”

She wanted to know how heavy the bait was that caught Huang Yuqing.

Initially, the two were indifferent; they actually knew each other quite well.

Until they saw Huang Yuqing’s Moments post… “Chanel’s classic bag, LV’s new summer collection… that must be almost one hundred thirty thousand, right?”

“Yuqing really caught a whale this time!”

The two exclaimed repeatedly, their surprise evident.

“Treat us, Yuqing must treat us to a big meal.”

They decided to go find Huang Yuqing.

“One hundred thirty thousand worth of stuff!”

The Older Sister Type’s eyes couldn't help but tremble, and her heart became restless.

No wonder Huang Yuqing had rushed to see that person so eagerly.

Someone who could spend one hundred thirty thousand at once clearly had considerable power.

It seemed she would have to get closer to Huang Yuqing in the future. If she had a chance to meet that person, that would be even better.

Didn’t Huang Yuqing’s apartment still have an empty room?

If they could share rent, the chances of meeting would be even greater.

She decided to ask when they met.
