183: I want to be a black-hearted boss!

"I'll take this one."

"Very well, Mr. Ye!"

Although she hadn't managed to sell the bracelet worth over forty thousand, meaning her commission was significantly lower,

she was still satisfied with easily closing a sale.

Seeing that the time was right, Ye Su began steering the conversation toward the lucky cat:

"This lucky cat in your shop looks pretty nice."

The sales clerk, who was just about to turn around to wrap up the bracelet, had to pause upon hearing this and looked at the lucky cat in Ye Su's hand.

What exactly looked nice about this lucky cat?

Wasn't it just a trinket you could buy online for a few dozen yuan?

But Ye Su had come to the shop twice in two days and already spent over sixty thousand; he was undoubtedly a big client.

Setting aside the fantasy of landing such a boyfriend, even just from a customer service perspective, the sales clerk dared not show the slightest negligence and could only smile and respond:

"Mr. Ye, you're joking. This is just a regular little trinket; we keep it here for good luck."

"Is that so?" Ye Su feigned a look of keen interest:

"I noticed this lucky cat when I came yesterday. I just feel like it really catches my eye; maybe it can even boost my fortune."

"Huh?"

Even though the sales clerk was adept at handling high-quality clients, she didn't know how to respond to this remark from Ye Su.

Catches his eye?

Over a common lucky cat trinket?

Were the hobbies of rich people always this strange?

"Could you sell this lucky cat to me?"

"Huh?"

The bewildered sales clerk was even more bewildered after hearing this.

She had worked in the shop for so long, and this was the first time she had ever encountered someone wanting to buy this piece of junk.

"Mr. Ye, this lucky cat was bought by the store manager to be placed here; I don't have the authority to sell it to you..."

"No, you just said it was an ordinary trinket. I've spent over sixty thousand in your shop over the last two days; surely I can't even buy one ordinary trinket from your shop?"

Seeing Ye Su's displeased expression, the sales clerk felt helpless.

Never mind a lucky cat trinket, even if he wanted her, she would wash herself clean without hesitation and lie on the bed waiting for him.

But unfortunately, what Ye Su wanted was this piece of junk she couldn't make decisions about.

"How about I go ask the store manager and see if she can sell this trinket to you?"

"Sure, thanks, beautiful."

Ye Su's expression shifted from gloomy to sunny, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart:

Is this what it feels like to throw money at people?

As the sales clerk turned to find the store manager, she was still frantically complaining internally:

Why on earth did he have to get attached to a lucky cat trinket?

She was a living, breathing woman with curves right here, capable of doing anything, even a split—why didn't he get attached to her instead!

While complaining, the sales clerk found the store manager and told her the news about the customer outside suddenly taking a liking to the lucky cat trinket.

Unsurprisingly, after hearing the clerk's report, the store manager immediately decided to just give the lucky cat trinket to Ye Su.

He came to the shop twice, bought things immediately after looking at them, and spent over sixty thousand in total without batting an eye.

With such a high-quality client, as long as she could maintain a good relationship, never mind one lucky cat trinket, even if he wanted a dozen, she would place an order immediately and provide home delivery.

Especially when the store manager came out personally to Host him and saw Ye Su himself, she wished she could replace the lucky cat trinket and give herself to Ye Su instead.

Although she was already thirty-six and there was quite an age gap, she had the advantage of rich experience; this handsome guy wouldn't be losing out, right?

"Hello, I heard from the sales assistant that you want to buy the lucky cat trinket in our shop?"

"Yes." Ye Su nodded.

Judging by her aura, this woman in her thirties before him must be the store manager.

"I've been here twice, and the more I look at this lucky cat, the more it catches my eye. I was wondering if I could buy it?"

"Of course you can," the store manager said generously. "It's not worth much; if you want it, I'll just give it to you."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

Unable to handle the older woman's intense gaze, Ye Su immediately pushed the bracelet box forward:

"By the way, I haven't paid for this bracelet yet; please help me wrap it up."

"Very well, Mr. Ye."

After paying, Ye Su carried the gift bag in one hand and held the switched-off lucky cat in the other, quickly leaving the store and escaping the store manager's gaze that made his skin crawl.

Back in his car parked in the underground garage, Ye Su tossed the bracelet worth over ten thousand onto the passenger seat and couldn't wait to start examining the lucky cat.

"How do I activate the Hidden Attribute of this trinket? Does it have to be like in the TV dramas, where I need to drip blood on it to claim ownership or something?"

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has obtained [Mysterious Surprise Item - lucky cat trinket]. Would you like to spend 99 yuan to activate the item's [Hidden Attribute]?]

"Yes!"

Compared to activation methods like dripping blood that required suffering, Ye Su naturally preferred spending a little money to solve the problem.

[[Hidden Attribute] is activating. Please wait, Host...]

[Activation successful!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Mysterious Surprise Item: Working Cat!]

[Working Cat skill: Fortune Gathering!]

[Skill Introduction: For every swing of the Working Cat trinket's arm, the Host receives a reward of one RMB!]

[Working Cat working hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.]

[Outside of these times, as well as on weekends and public holidays, it is the Working Cat's rest time, and the [Fortune Gathering] skill will not take effect!]

"Wait, Brother System, what is this? A Mysterious Surprise Item with a [965] work schedule!"

"Even outside companies don't follow a [965] work schedule; why are you, a system, following this stuff!"

"Actually, I also have the potential to be a heartless boss. How about we cancel the [965], give the Working Cat a [007] schedule, and let it know the cruelty of society? If that doesn't work, [996] is fine too!"

No matter how much Ye Su called out, the system remained unmoved and gave him no response at all.

With no other choice, Ye Su had to give up and turned on the switch for the [Working Cat].

Da da—

[Amount + 1]

Da da—

[Amount + 1]

[...]

It was already past two o'clock, so it was time for the [Working Cat] to start working.

As soon as Ye Su turned on the switch, he saw that every time the [Working Cat] swung its arm back and forth, the number above it increased by one.

Using a stopwatch on his phone to do a simple calculation, Ye Su found that the frequency of the [Working Cat] swinging its arm was about once every two seconds.

"Earning one yuan every two seconds means thirty yuan per minute, which is an hourly wage of 1,800."

"From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, that means it can work for seven hours a day, so the daily wage is 12,600 yuan."

"Assuming there are 22 working days each month..."

Ye Su pressed [× 22] on his calculator, and eventually, [277200] popped up.

"This [Working Cat] can earn over 270,000 a month!"
