198: What hard times we lived through before

Li Mengyao was already starting to regret it. She had been too carried away when receiving the meteorite at the hotel earlier, forgetting that they were only pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend and that she shouldn't have accepted such an expensive gift from him.

If she had just asked the finance department to wire Ye Su a million or so, she wouldn't be getting grilled by her parents like this right now.

Got it!

A sudden idea struck Li Mengyao, and she shifted the blame onto Ye Su:

"Actually, I did suggest buying the meteorite in the company's name, but Ye Su said he was giving it to me as a token of gratitude for the contract Dad gave him last time."

"Oh," Wang Lijuan sighed, her face full of pity. "That boy is really something. How much was that contract even worth? Your dad gave it to him, so why does he have to keep dwelling on it!"

"Exactly, it was just a jewelry profit-sharing contract. Why hold onto that? You really need to have a good talk with him; he shouldn't be so formal with us."

Li Mengyao was very glad now that she had pressured Ye Su to come over for dinner tomorrow:

"It's no use me saying anything. He's coming over for dinner tomorrow night, so you two can tell him whatever you want then."

"Ye Su is coming for dinner tomorrow? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Upon hearing that Ye Su was coming to visit again, Wang Lijuan's eyes lit up even brighter than they had when she saw the meteorite:

"You two can talk about company business yourselves. I'm going to the kitchen to see what to prepare for dinner tomorrow night."

With that, Wang Lijuan left the father and daughter behind and headed straight for the kitchen.

As she walked, as if remembering something, Wang Lijuan started chuckling to herself.

It looked like her daughter and future son-in-law were already inseparable; it wouldn't be long before they got married and had children.

"It would be best if they have a boy and a girl, to make a perfect 'good' family."

Her daughter was beautiful, and Ye Su was tall and handsome. Their children would surely be more handsome than Eddie Peng and prettier than Liu Yifei!

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Wang Lijuan could almost see two beautiful, adorable porcelain-doll-like children running around her, calling her "Grandma," "Grandma" non-stop.

Li Shanhai, although he didn't show as much excitement as Wang Lijuan, was also pleased that his "son-in-law" was coming for dinner tomorrow.

"To be safe, you should take the meteorite to be appraised, just in case Ye Su made a mistake."

The reputation of Poyun Group was at stake; they couldn't afford any mistakes.

Although Ye Su said it was a meteorite, and he himself didn't think it was a man-made fake,

Li Shanhai still didn't dare to be careless and instructed Li Mengyao to take the meteorite to an appraisal agency for a professional assessment.

"Alright."

Li Mengyao agreed, took the meteorite from Li Shanhai's hand, and turned to leave to get it appraised.

...

"Wow, a PC that cost over twenty thousand really does make a difference when gaming!"

Upon returning home from the hotel, Ye Su couldn't wait to enter his room and experience the fierce performance of his brand-new PC.

With the graphics and frame rate maxed out, Ye Su enjoyed a completely different experience compared to the three-year-old gaming laptop in his dorm.

"What kind of miserable life was I living before!"

Ye Su was immersed in the game, fighting intensely, and only stopped briefly when Chen Xinyi returned from work.

After dinner that night, the two went their separate ways, both enjoying their own interests: one doing exercise in the living room, and the other continuing to be a gaming addict.

Buzz—

In between games, Ye Su saw his phone screen light up, picked it up to see who was messaging him at this hour.

[Brother: I transferred 300,000 to you, check if you received it.]

"Transferred 300,000?"

Ye Su pulled down the notification bar and sure enough, saw a bank text message confirming the arrival of 300,000 in his account.

Before class ended at noon, the system had already alerted him that the profits from the sunscreen clothing had exceeded 200,000, which meant at least 4,000 units had been paid for.

Another day had passed, so it wasn't surprising that another thousand or so orders had been confirmed.

With each piece of sunscreen clothing priced at 79, that was already around 400,000 in revenue.

Transferring 300,000 to him was well within Ye Xin's means.

Since that was the case, Ye Su didn't stand on ceremony and replied to Ye Xin.

[Money received.]

[Brother: Mm.]

The conversation ended after two sentences, and Ye Su was already used to this.

Chen Xinyi had invested 100,000 with him initially, and a couple of days ago, she spent over 50,000 on a watch for herself. She probably didn't have much money left, so Ye Su decided to settle her account first.

"500,000 worth of goods in total. That lady out there invested 100,000, which is 20 percent. Out of 16,800 pieces of sunscreen clothing, 3,360 are hers."

"Selling at 79 each, the revenue is 265,440. Each piece also requires a dividend of 14.7 to my brother, which totals 49,392."

Ye Su tapped away on his calculator and finally arrived at the result that Chen Xinyi should receive [216,048].

"We're all so close, rounding it off shouldn't be too much, right?"

Thinking this, Ye Su took off his headphones and headed out of the room to tell Chen Xinyi the good news.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Chen Xinyi in her yoga outfit, doing yoga in the living room, and Ye Su froze in his tracks.

The living room, a beautiful woman, a yoga outfit, and doing yoga—plus, as she bent down, her already stunning physique became even more breathtaking.

This scene looked so familiar.

This made Ye Su wonder if he had triggered some kind of urban legend scenario.

He just felt that something indescribable had to happen next for it to make sense.

"Staring again? Aren't you tired of looking?"

Chen Xinyi didn't mind being stared at by Ye Su; after all, they sometimes even showered together, so there was nothing he couldn't see.

But now that she was doing yoga, being watched by Ye Su like this always made her lose focus, and she felt her form slipping.

"If I were really tired of looking, you wouldn't be happy about it."

Chen Xinyi couldn't be bothered to retort.

Besides, what Ye Su said was actually the truth.

She was happy to let him look.

Changing positions, she stretched one arm forward as far as she could, then Chen Xinyi said:

"What, you finally decided to come out? I thought you were going to spend the night hugging that computer of yours."

"That was the plan, but I have some good news now."

Chen Xinyi immediately slumped, kneeling on the floor, and looked up at Ye Su: "What good news?"

"A portion of the revenue from the sunscreen clothing has arrived, just enough to give you your share first."

"Mm!"

Chen Xinyi instantly sprang up from her yoga mat and ran to Ye Su in two steps, her eyes full of desire for money:

"216,048, it's all here!"

"Uh..." Besides being surprised, Ye Su was also speechless: "Even the 48? You really calculated it precisely, down to the last cent."

"Of course," Chen Xinyi said proudly. "Look at what I do for a living. In all my years of working, I've never had to stay late because of a calculation error."

After saying this, Chen Xinyi immediately urged Ye Su: "Stop talking about nonsense. Transfer the money to me—my money!"

"Got it..." Ye Su picked up his phone: "I'm confiscating the 48, I'll transfer you 216,000."

Chen Xinyi patted her chest generously: "No problem, consider it my treat for you to have some milk tea."
