167: Bringing hatred to fellow men
After shaking hands with Ye Su again, the manager turned to attend to Chen Xinyi:
"Miss Chen, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
"It's fine." Chen Xinyi asked: "Since I already have an electric scooter at home, can I exchange the one I won for cash?"
Guangzhou Hui had long anticipated that customers might request a cash exchange.
"It's possible, but it can only be valued at 4,000 yuan. Do you have any issues with that?"
The two electric scooters used for the display were brought over from the Yadea store.
Even if no one chose to take the electric scooters in the end, they could just be returned to the store.
Valuing it at 4,000 yuan saved the mall 1,000 yuan while also being convenient for the customer; it was a win-win situation.
Chen Xinyi did a quick mental calculation of what she could get for the scooter on a second-hand platform, then nodded: "That works."
"Does anyone want to buy a dongdong e-card? I can offer a 5% discount."
While Chen Xinyi was redeeming her prize with the manager, Ye Su took advantage of the crowd and started selling the dongdong e-cards he had on hand right there.
"Give me two."
"I want five."
"Give me one."
Since it was currently the 618 shopping festival, there was naturally no shortage of people with shopping needs.
Upon hearing that Ye Su was selling dongdong e-cards on the spot at a 5% discount, the onlookers quickly swarmed over to buy them from him.
By the time Chen Xinyi received the 4,000 yuan transferred by the mall manager and had packed her prizes into the canvas bag she got from the consolation prize, Ye Su had already sold 36 dongdong e-cards.
"Here you go."
Seeing Chen Xinyi approach, Ye Su casually grabbed a handful of dongdong e-cards from the box—estimating there were about forty of them—and handed them to her.
Fair is fair; since they came out together, Ye Su certainly wouldn't feel right keeping it all for himself.
"Oh." Chen Xinyi didn't think too much about it and casually took the dongdong e-cards: "Send me your payment QR code, and I can transfer the money from the sales directly to you."
"They're for you..."
"Ah!"
Upon hearing that this whole stack of dongdong e-cards was a gift for her, stars immediately lit up in Chen Xinyi's eyes.
If they weren't in public with so many people around, Chen Xinyi would have wanted to jump onto Ye Su and give him a fierce kiss.
"Wow!"
Several women gasped in surprise after seeing Ye Su's generous gesture.
That stack of dongdong e-cards had to be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and he just gave them to his girlfriend without even blinking!
Being handsome was one thing, but being this generous was another—what kind of high-class life was that woman living!
Women who were out with their boyfriends or husbands saw this scene and then looked at their own partners, suddenly finding them unbearable to look at.
The guys who sensed the atmosphere shifting wailed inwardly: Seriously, dude, it's your business if you have money to show off, but you have to read the room!
Ye Su caused trouble for the other guys without even realizing it, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
If they were going to act out against their partners over something like this, then it might just help the guys see the true colors of the women beside them.
If, after seeing their partner's true colors, they were still willing to be pushovers, then they deserved to suffer through it.
Riding the wave of winning the 200,000 yuan grand prize at Guangzhou Hui, Ye Su and Chen Xinyi managed to sell off most of the two hundred dongdong e-cards in no time.
Considering they were moving into a new home soon and had a spare room that could be converted into a gaming room, Ye Su kept twenty dongdong e-cards for himself to buy things later.
Chen Xinyi had forty-two cards in her stack; she also kept five, planning to see what else she might want to buy during the 618 sale.
After spending the afternoon at the mall, and deducting the over 3,000 yuan spent on shopping and the twenty dongdong e-cards he kept, Ye Su had netted nearly 130,000 yuan.
Thanks to the dongdong e-cards Ye Su gave her and the 4,000 yuan from the electric scooter cash-out, Chen Xinyi had netted over 39,000 yuan—more than she earned in a full quarter of working.
"Let's go eat."
After putting their prizes in the underground garage, Chen Xinyi excitedly pulled Ye Su back to the escalator:
"There's a high-end Wagyu Barbecue Restaurant upstairs that I've been wanting to try for a long time. It's perfect since I'm in such a good mood today."
Chen Xinyi patted her magnificent chest: "Big sister is treating you today, we're going to eat until we can't take another bite."
Clearly, Chen Xinyi's arrogant demeanor was directly proportional to how much money she had in her pocket.
Ye Su naturally didn't stand on ceremony; he held Chen Xinyi's hand and they went to the Wagyu Barbecue Restaurant together.
Although it was Saturday, the prices at this Barbecue Restaurant filtered out many customers, so the two didn't have to wait and got a table as soon as they walked in.
After being seated, while waiting to order, Ye Su silently thought to himself: "Claim 4 points of [Physique] attribute."
A familiar warm current surged through his entire body. Once the 4 points of [Physique] attribute were successfully claimed, Ye Su continued ordering.
Given their financial situation today, let alone the ordinary cuts that cost a few dozen yuan and didn't have much substance, the two didn't hesitate at all to order the beef tongue and tail tenderloin, which cost hundreds of yuan per serving.
You have to admit, after the rich fat in the marbling melted away, it tasted much more fragrant than ordinary beef.
It was probably because his [Physique] attribute had improved recently, which also led to a significant increase in Ye Su's appetite.
Fortunately, Chen Xinyi was always worried that Ye Su might not be full, so every time the meat was almost gone, she would ask if he was full before helping him order more.
In the end, the barbecue meal cost a four-digit sum, most of which went into Ye Su's stomach.
"Ah—"
After eating his fill, Ye Su let out a comfortable groan.
Chen Xinyi had long been full; she was currently resting her chin on one hand, looking at Ye Su with flowing eyes.
This man truly became more interesting the more she looked at him.
"Are you full? Do you want to order more?"
"No need."
There were other people eating around them, so Ye Su felt embarrassed to burp and just managed to control himself and let out another long sigh of relief.
Hearing that Ye Su was full, Chen Xinyi was worried he might have overeaten, so she waited a while before going to pay the bill, letting Ye Su sit and rest for a bit.
Then, the two of them took their things and went to Ye Kaijun's place.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Coming."
Hearing the knock, Ye Kaijun inside answered and came over to open the door.
"Oh, it's Ye Su."
Seeing that it was Ye Su at the door, Ye Kaijun's aged face clearly lit up with joy. He was about to step aside to let him in when he noticed Chen Xinyi following behind Ye Su.
"Uncle Jun, this is my girlfriend, Chen Xinyi."
"Hello, Uncle Jun."
Chen Xinyi was slightly reserved as she politely nodded to Ye Kaijun to greet him.
"Hello, come on in."
Seeing Ye Su bring a girlfriend over, Ye Kaijun was clearly a bit flustered and hurriedly invited them both into the house.
"We went shopping at the mall this afternoon and picked up some supplements for you along the way."
Ye Su casually placed the bag on the table.
"Oh my, didn't I tell you? You can just come up whenever you want; you don't need to buy me anything!"
"You two are still young. Remember to save your money; why are you spending it on me!"
Seeing that Ye Su had bought him something again, Ye Kaijun felt both the joy of being cared for and a bit of unease, worried that he was becoming a burden to the two of them.
