253: Tell me your dream

Coming out of the Buynow Computer City, the two boys, Yu Haoyang and Gong Xiujie, wished they could just carry their computers and walk to Bing Sheng Manor themselves.

It was only because they realized that showing off like this in front of a mega-rich guy like Ye Su would be a bit childish that they abandoned the idea, reluctantly putting their things into Ye Su's trunk first.

Once they arrived at Bing Sheng Manor, led by a waiter, the group finally met up with Chen Xinyi in a private dining room.

"This is what I ordered. Take a look and see if it's enough, or if there's anything else you'd like to eat."

Chen Xinyi first showed the order slip and the menu to Yu Haoyang and the other two.

Worried that they might be too shy to order, Chen Xinyi joked,

"Anyway, he's rich. Since this is a rare opportunity, the four of us have to fleece him for all he's got."

"Haha."

The three of them just assumed this was their financial backer and his lady flirting in public. Not daring to chime in, they could only respond with smiles before taking the menu to have a look.

"I'm fine with anything. You guys decide."

"I'm fine with anything too."

"How about we wait for the waiter to serve the food first, and then we can order more if it's not enough?"

While they were still outside, the three of them had already seen the menu that Chen Xinyi posted in the group chat.

But seeing prices that easily hit three digits—where a single dish cost as much as several weeks of meals in the school cafeteria—the three of them immediately abandoned any thought of ordering.

"Let me take a look then."

Knowing they were too embarrassed to order, Ye Su took the slip and the menu.

When they were out, Chen Xinyi never failed to give Ye Su face.

Even though it pained her wallet, Chen Xinyi had still ordered all the signature dishes, like the special secret-recipe black char siu, large yellow croaker, crispy-skin soup-filled roast goose, and Boston lobster.

"I still have to drive, so I can't drink. Do you guys want to?"

The three of them shook their heads like rattle-drums. "No, we won't drink."

"Alright, let's start with this. If it's not enough, just let me know."

"Okay!"

The three of them nodded hurriedly, looking forward to the upcoming dishes.

"Did you all get your computers?"

Seeing that they were still a bit constrained, Chen Xinyi took the initiative to chat with them while waiting for the food.

"We did!"

Just thinking about the laptop, keyboard, and mouse in Ye Su's trunk—which were guaranteed to be top-tier—the three felt a surge of excitement, feeling full even before eating.

They still didn't know exactly what computers Ye Su had bought them.

But seeing the excitement on their faces, like children who had just gotten new toys, Chen Xinyi couldn't help but glance at Ye Su, thinking to herself:

Now these are normal college students—so pure and simple. Unlike this dude, who's full of bad ideas and loves to tease her all the time!

Ye Su had no idea his image was so poor in Chen Xinyi's mind. He was still pondering how much money Firing at Spectres would ultimately make.

With a stewed soup bursting with purines on the table, naturally, no one ordered any drinks.

Once the dishes were served, Ye Su, as the host, used soup instead of wine to make an opening toast:

"Today marks the official establishment of our Disc Game Studio. We won't bother with any big pep rallies. Here's to everyone making a fortune!"

"Awesome!"

The three college students were fired up by Ye Su's words. They excitedly raised their soup bowls in response to his toast.

"Alright, that's it. Let's dig in."

With that, Ye Su picked up his chopsticks first and started tucking into a piece of freshly slaughtered large yellow croaker.

At first, Yu Haoyang and the other two were a bit reserved, but Ye Su's hearty eating made everything look absolutely delicious.

Gradually, they let their guard down and began to feast heartily.

Putting the chef's culinary skills aside,

just seeing that the signature secret-recipe black char siu cost over four hundred yuan a portion, and only came with six pieces when served,

meaning a single bite devoured several days of their living expenses, made the three of them find it incredibly delicious.

After making sure the other four were full, Ye Su got up to pay the bill.

Including the meal and the service charge, the first team dinner of Disc Game Studio successfully allowed Ye Su to spend over 3,400 yuan of his quota.

After paying, Ye Su drove Yu Haoyang and the other two back to school.

"Bye."

With a wave from Ye Su, the three happily carried their computers toward the dormitory buildings.

Carrying these three boxes through the Lingnan Institute of Engineering, they were definitely the coolest guys on campus.

"You really went all out, didn't you?"

Chen Xinyi didn't know much about electronics, but she still recognized the major brands, so she naturally knew the approximate price of Republic of Gamers.

"First, a welcome dinner at Bing Sheng Manor, and now buying them such expensive computers. Are you really that confident in the mini-game they're making?"

"It's alright," Ye Su chuckled. "Just think of it as supporting the dreams of college students."

"You make it sound so grand." Chen Xinyi pouted. "I don't see you supporting my dreams."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Su looked at Chen Xinyi excitedly.

"What dream? Is it to be a doctor or a flight attendant? Just say the word, and I'll fully cooperate. If it's an investigator or a female teacher, I'll definitely do my absolute best to help!"

"dude..." Chen Xinyi gave Ye Su a disgusted look. "Watch something that can actually be broadcasted..."

"What do you mean, broadcasted?" Ye Su puffed out his chest and said righteously, "I'm a decent man. I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Heh," Chen Xinyi sneered. "Just drive, decent man."

"Alright." Ye Su started the car and asked, "So, what was the dream you just mentioned?"

Chen Xinyi said as if it were obvious, "Do you even need to ask? To be rich, of course."

"I shouldn't have asked..."

With that, Ye Su drove away from the school.

...

"Wow!"

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit!"

Unsurprisingly, when the three returned to their dorms and unboxed their packages, it instantly triggered a collective uproar across three dorm rooms.

Things were relatively calm on Duan Qianwei's side. After all, it was a girls' dorm, so they were somewhat restrained upon seeing the computer, merely gathering around Duan Qianwei in envy as she unboxed it.

But the dorms of Yu Haoyang and Gong Xiujie were not nearly as restrained.

When they saw the iconic Eye of the Wallet-Slayer and the dazzling ROG RGB lighting up together, the roommates only had one phrase left in their mouths: "Holy shit!"

For male computer science students, the computers Ye Su got them were equivalent to a Lamborghini in the supercar world. They were completely unable to resist the Charm of the Eye of the Wallet-Slayer.

"Holy shit, a 5090 Eye of the Wallet-Slayer!"

"When will I ever meet a boss like this!"

"dude, talk to your boss and see if he can hire me too. I don't even want a salary, just get me the same computer!"

At this moment, the roommates of Yu Haoyang and the other two dreamed of working for Ye Su, even if it meant doing it for free.

...

On the other side, after sending Chen Xinyi home, Ye Su also carried the remaining computer upstairs.

Ye Su planned to put this computer in his dorm so that when he occasionally went back to school, he could play games with his three roommates.

When he wasn't at school, the computer could just stay there for whoever wanted to play, so it wouldn't just sit here gathering dust.

"I'm heading out."

After resting inside for a bit, and having arranged to meet Yu Jinle at Echo Antiques at 2:30, Ye Su finally got up and headed out.
