201: Millions in assets and millions in cash

[XX Bank: Your card ending in 9539 received a transfer of 300,000 Yuan on May 23rd at 14:28. Current balance: 482,073 Yuan.]

"Three hundred thousand!"

After the shock, Ye Su quickly reacted: "It must be the reward from the relevant departments for the illegal fundraising report I made on Monday."

As if to confirm Ye Su's guess, a landline number called again.

"Hello?"

"Is this Mr. Ye Su?"

"Yes."

"I'm calling from the municipal bureau. The 300,000 Yuan reward you deserve for your meritorious reporting last time has just been transferred. Have you received it?"

"Yes, I just saw the text message."

"Okay, good. Do you have any other questions?"

"No."

"Alright, thank you again for your support of our work. Have a pleasant day."

"Okay, thank you."

After a few simple words of communication to confirm that Ye Su had received the transfer, the other party hung up.

"Another three hundred thousand in the account, feels good —"

Looking at the bank text message on his phone, Ye Su chuckled to himself before remembering that there was still a diligent [Working Cat] in the safe.

"907281."

After arriving at the safe and entering the password, Ye Su saw that the amount on the [Working Cat]'s head had accumulated to [36,958].

"Collect the stored amount from the [Working Cat]."

Clatter —

A sound effect of coins dropping played, and the number above the [Working Cat]'s head instantly cleared to zero.

The wages earned by the [Working Cat] working hard and waving its hands in the safe all fell into the pocket of Ye Su, this unscrupulous boss.

Just as the [Working Cat] waved its arm again, the number above its head changed from [0] to [1].

[XX Bank: Your card ending in 9539 received a transfer of 36,958 Yuan on May 23rd at 14:30. Current balance: 519,031 Yuan.]

Two consecutive bank transfer text messages made Ye Su grin from ear to ear.

Adding the two transfers on his phone calculator, Ye Su smiled so hard he almost drooled when he saw the [709,271] number on it.

"Once I sell this [Qianlong Zhongbao], my savings will reach nine hundred thousand!"

"If I get another level 3 intelligence tomorrow, I can push my savings to one million!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for generating a profit of over 300,000 Yuan on the [sunscreen clothing] intelligence. You have received the third [Physique] attribute reward. Would you like to claim it?]

"The third [Physique] reward has also arrived. Today is truly full of good news!"

Ye Su excitedly confirmed the reward: "Yes!"

A refreshing feeling washed over his entire body, making Ye Su let out a comfortable groan.

"I don't even have to wait for tomorrow's level 3 intelligence. As long as Brother Wan transfers another payment for the goods, I'll have enough for one million in cash!"

Ye Su realized only now that having a million in assets and having a million in cash in one's account are two completely different feelings.

No wonder many netizens say that even if you empty several wallets to buy a house and have a net worth of a million, you are still a poor person.

"Still have time, let's go to Bowen Antique Shop first."

He had an appointment with Li Mengyao to eat at her house tonight, but Ye Su didn't want to go over too early.

The "mother-in-law" was simply too enthusiastic towards him, and Ye Su was afraid that the longer he stayed, the easier it would be for him to slip up.

After a quick shower, considering it a completion of Li Mengyao's request to [tidy up a bit], Ye Su stayed in the house until after three o'clock before taking the [Qianlong Zhongbao] and driving to Bowen Antique Shop.

Wan Yuanliang naturally welcomed everything Ye Su brought.

Beyond being shocked by where Ye Su had managed to get such a rare large coin again, Wan Yuanliang readily agreed to the price of 200,000 Yuan.

After signing the contract, finishing the transfer, and pouring Ye Su a cup of tea, Wan Yuanliang couldn't help but sigh:

"It really has to be you. You brought something worth 168,000 a couple of days ago, and today another one worth 200,000. I'm a little jealous of how you earn this money."

Ye Su laughed and scolded:

"dude, it's one thing for others to say that, but you're so well-off, are you making fun of me too? I'm purely earning some hard-earned money. Unlike you, drinking tea in the shop every day, no wind, no sun, and the money just comes to your door."

As he spoke, he looked around the shop, and there was genuine envy in Ye Su's eyes.

The shelves in the shop were mostly filled with ordinary old items that weren't very expensive, and they wouldn't be worth much collectively.

But seeing how Wan Yuanliang could buy anything he brought, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, he knew his family's assets could definitely be described as [abundant].

And the things he sold to the antique shop, Wan Yuanliang didn't put them directly on sale in the shop, but usually found buyers within his circle of friends.

Heaven knows how many things he collected every month besides what he got from him.

Anyway, the father and son didn't have to do anything; they just needed to sit in the shop, wait for people to deliver goods, and then resell them, making at least several percent profit in between.

Ye Su felt comfortable just thinking about such a life.

"Sigh, the business in the shop is indeed passable, but this is, after all, the family business."

Wan Yuanliang complained as if sighing:

"I'm just watching the shop for the family now, drawing some salary and commission from the shop every month. How can I be as comfortable as you?"

Wan Yuanliang wasn't lying.

His monthly salary plus commission from the shop was basically just tens of thousands of Yuan.

Compared to the average worker outside, this income was naturally not low.

But compared to Ye Su, who picked up leaks every few days or helped friends sell things to earn the price difference, Wan Yuanliang was indeed lagging behind by more than a little.

Wan Yuanliang jokingly said to Ye Su: "If it weren't for the fact that I don't have your conditions, I would have planned to go out and sell things to earn some extra money."

Ye Su flirtatiously flipped his hair: "Can't help it, dude, this is all natural, you can't envy it."

"Give you an inch and you take a mile."

Wan Yuanliang took back the teacup Ye Su had finished, and at the same time asked unintentionally:

"Seriously, do you have any side hustles that you can bring your brother along to do?"

"Not for the time being." Ye Su gave Wan Yuanliang a pointer:

"If you want to do a side hustle, why don't you go into live streaming? Nowadays, every industry, from those doing borderline content to PKs, to those making milk tea and stir-frying rice noodles, isn't everyone streaming all day long? There's also that Listening to the Spring, who just appraises coins whenever he has nothing to do. Look at how popular he is now. You're in this line of work too, and you have an existing antique shop at home. Why don't you try it? You might even become the second Listening to the Spring and earn more in a year than the shop makes."

"You think I haven't tried it before? It's just that having to set up cameras and edit videos was already enough to tire me out. Later, when the live stream started, I couldn't find anyone to connect with for treasure appraisal, and I didn't know what to do myself. Not many people were watching, so I finally gave up."

"Alright then."

Ye Su realized that he had indeed thought of things too simply.

Big streamers certainly make money fast.

But wanting to become a big streamer, relying solely on [solid skills], wasn't such an easy thing either.
