187: Learn from business models

Ye Su had long known that this would be the situation.

The reason he wanted to give a gift more expensive than Chen Xinyi's was partly due to his male chauvinism.

On the other hand, he also knew that if the gift he gave couldn't compare to the one Chen Xinyi gave him, there was no telling how many times she would nag him about it in the future.

"Huh, there's something on your face. Did you not wash up properly after your shower?"

As Ye Su spoke, he secretly reached his right hand into his pocket and pinched the bracelet between his fingers, moving it to the back of his hand.

"No, there isn't."

Chen Xinyi's attention was indeed diverted, and she even forgot to continue showing off.

"It's right here."

Ye Su reached his right hand to Chen Xinyi's cheek, pretending to help her wipe away the dirt.

"Ta-da!"

Suddenly, Ye Su retracted his right hand, and a bracelet appeared before Chen Xinyi's eyes.

"Here, to match your watch." Ye Su specially emphasized: "It's not too expensive, just exactly 15,600 yuan."

"Ah!!"

Ye Su wanted to add that, including the watch he gave her, it was only a little over sixty thousand yuan, just a bit more expensive than the watch she had given him.

But Chen Xinyi stood stunned for two seconds, and after seeing the bracelet clearly, she shrieked in a dolphin-like pitch, almost shattering Ye Su's eardrums.

"Put it on me quickly, let me see!"

Ye Su didn't understand why Chen Xinyi was so excited over a bracelet, but he still respected her happiness and helped her put it on.

Looking at the combination of the watch and bracelet on her wrist, Chen Xinyi's eyes were full of sparkling little stars.

"I love you to death!"

Chen Xinyi wrapped her arms around Ye Su's neck and gave him a heavy kiss.

Mmm!

Both of them had just finished showering and were only wearing thin summer pajamas, with nothing else between them.

With Chen Xinyi suddenly doing this, Ye Su's chest was instantly subjected to two heavy impacts.

The force was so great that his 'little brother' couldn't help but rise to check out the situation.

Chen Xinyi, of course, could also feel that a sturdy tree was coming to life.

But she felt no shyness at all; instead, she increased the pressure, hugging Ye Su even tighter.

Only by having this reaction could she prove her attractiveness to Ye Su.

If one day Ye Su had no reaction to her at all, Chen Xinyi felt that was when she should really start to panic.

After giving Ye Su a small verbal reward, Chen Xinyi pulled him along to strike poses and take who knows how many selfies.

Finally, after endless hesitation, she selected nine photos, including the ones from dinner, and posted them to her Moments with the caption [5.20].

After completing the whole process, Chen Xinyi put down her phone and looked at Ye Su with deep affection.

For no reason, her eyes were glistening again; one look and it was clear she wanted to 'harvest yang to nourish yin'.

Ye Su immediately received the signal.

But just as he was about to respond, Chen Xinyi gave him a look: "You go wait in the room first."

Without a word, Ye Su immediately did as he was told.

Then, Ye Su waited for the surprise encore of the stepmother-style dress outfit.

Chen Xinyi really had nothing to say to Ye Su—she was truly impeccable.

Even when her strength was exhausted, she didn't forget to make him happy.

As for why she had nothing to say, it was naturally because her mouth was currently occupied.

...

At 11:59 PM, Ye Su held Chen Xinyi, who was in his arms, and gently patted her back like he was soothing a child, finally tucking her in after she fell asleep.

After using [Sleep Aid Service] on her, Ye Su finally opened the system intelligence interface, waiting for the intelligence to refresh at midnight.

"It would be best if there was another [Mysterious Surprise Item] intelligence!"

Ye Su fantasized that if he could get one [Working Cat] every day for a month...

By then, thirty [Working Cats] would be lined up in a row, waving their paws to beckon wealth in front of him, and the thirty numbers above their heads would keep shooting up—he would be absolutely thrilled!

[Ding!]

As soon as it hit twelve o'clock, the intelligence interface refreshed with a new piece of intelligence on time.

[Today's Intelligence (Level 3): On the second floor of Shiyuan Secondhand Shop, a set of [Late Qing Dynasty · Tin Rhombus-shaped Tea Caddy, Tin Cup Holder, and Tin Teapot, a set of seven pieces] is currently for sale.

Among them, the [Tin Rhombus-shaped Tea Caddy] uses a double-bottom craft to prevent moisture, and hidden in the interlayer are three Qing Dynasty banknotes, with a total value of approximately 150,000.]

"Sigh..."

Knowing full well that Brother System wouldn't be so accommodating as to give him another [Mysterious Surprise Item] intelligence.

But when reality was placed before him, Ye Su still couldn't help but sigh.

"A double-bottom teapot with three Qing Dynasty banknotes inside, it can sell for 150,000, that's fine too."

"I've really been spending money a bit too recklessly lately, so I'll just treat this 150,000 as a replenishment for my small treasury."

[hidden easter egg (Attribute Reward): Successfully obtain the three Qing Dynasty banknotes inside the tin teapot, and the Host can receive two points of [Health] reward.]

"Finally, there's another [hidden easter egg] with an [Attribute Reward]!"

Ever since Saturday, when he won the grand prize at Guangzhou Hui and was rewarded with four points of [Physique] attribute, Ye Su hadn't seen an [Attribute Reward] refresh for several days.

Heaven rewards the diligent.

He had been wishing for it day and night, and finally, he had waited for an [Attribute Reward] again.

"Two points of [Health] attribute reward, this is definitely a good thing!"

In this world, no one would complain about being too healthy, not even Ye Su, whose [Physique] had been constantly strengthened.

"With the [Health] attribute reward unlocked, I believe I will definitely live a long life and enjoy life to the fullest, without worrying about kicking the bucket before I've finished spending all my money!"

After instantly giving today's intelligence a five-star review, Ye Su closed the system and went to sleep using [Sleep Aid Service].

...

It was probably because the fried dough sticks at the breakfast shop weren't crispy enough.

The next morning, after finishing breakfast, Ye Su saw Chen Xinyi rubbing her jaw as she headed out.

Wednesday's classes were in the afternoon, during the fifth and sixth periods. Ye Su had originally planned to assemble the computer in the morning.

But plans couldn't keep up with changes.

With 150,000 waiting for him outside, Ye Su had no heart left for assembling a computer.

Shiyuan Secondhand Shop was a famous specialty Secondhand Shop in Guangzhou and had even been featured on CCTV programs; it wasn't hard at all to find information about the shop.

After a quick search, he confirmed that Shiyuan Secondhand Shop generally didn't open for business until ten o'clock.

After Ye Su finished breakfast, he first unpacked the gaming chair and passed some time by assembling it.

Around 9:30 AM, after the morning rush hour had passed, Ye Su finally went downstairs and drove toward the "legendary" Shiyuan Secondhand Shop.

It was said that the boss of Shiyuan Secondhand Shop used to be a law student who graduated from a 985 university.

But after graduation, following his personal interests and hobbies, he resolutely chose to open this Shiyuan Secondhand Shop and started the job of "picking up trash."

Eight years had passed, and the boss already had four shops, one studio, and a warehouse of over 300 square meters in Guangzhou, in addition to a team dedicated to "collecting trash."

Currently, his secondhand recycling business had spread everywhere; many people would contact Shiyuan Secondhand Shop for secondhand recycling when moving or when a certain area was being demolished.

"If I want to open a boutique Secondhand Shop in the future, I could actually borrow the boss's business model."

After pondering how to learn business from Shiyuan Secondhand Shop, Ye Su pushed open the door and entered the Shiyuan Secondhand Shop.
