260: Men's three major hobbies

[Brother: Mom said you don't need to keep sending money home.]

[Brother: Besides, I earned quite a bit from this sunscreen clothing gig myself, so I'll just give the money to Mom and Dad.]

[Just tell Mom that I've had some extra cash lately, which is why I transferred more.]

[If I don't have any income next month, I won't transfer any.]

[Brother: Fine, I'll tell Mom. If you have money, you can also save it for yourself.]

[Got it.]

[Brother: What have you been up to lately?]

[Nothing much, just collaborated with a few classmates to make a small game. It probably won't launch until the end of the month.]

[Brother: Not bad, you've started making games now.]

[It's just a casual game, we're just making it for fun.]

[...]

After chatting for a bit, they ran out of things to say, and the brothers tacitly stopped replying.

Ye Su finally had time to pick up the hammer and restore the sofa to its original state.

Beep—

[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China: Your card ending in 9539 received a transfer of 180,000 yuan on June 1st at 00:00. Your current balance is 2,326,616 yuan.]

Just as he hammered the copper nails back in, Ye Su picked up his phone, intending to call a truck to haul the sofa to Echo Antiques, when he saw the transfer notification from the bank.

"It's 2.82 million now!"

Happily adding the 180,000 yuan transfer to his savings, Ye Su realized he had over 2.8 million yuan in cash.

"It's a pity the bank isn't open; otherwise, if I sold those two gold bars, my savings would break through 3 million."

Of course, Ye Su wasn't in a rush.

Anyway, there was another level three intelligence report at midnight.

If nothing went wrong, he wouldn't need to wait for the Construction Bank to open on tuesday; his savings would reach 3 million tomorrow.

"Once my savings reach 3 million, it'll be time to continue upgrading the system."

It was already June 1st; in another 20 days, this month's intelligence upgrade would arrive.

Ye Su also planned to try and upgrade all seven weekly intelligence reports to level four before the 21st, so he could unlock the system's level four functions.

"All level four intelligence, plus level four functions—I should be able to earn tens of millions a month!"

He didn't even need to wait for the later level five intelligence or level six intelligence.

But thinking about earning tens of millions a month, and hundreds of millions a year, Ye Su was so excited he could dance.

Many listed companies didn't have net profits that could compare to his income.

"I also need to find time to pick up a new car so I can drive it home for the summer break."

Wealth without returning home is like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

Now that his wallet was getting fatter, Ye Su thought he should buy a decent car to drive back during the summer break and make Ye Jianguo and Su Wan proud.

"I'll just begrudgingly buy one around a million. Should I get a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, or just go for a porsche?"

Money should be spent where it counts.

Since he was going to spend over a million on a car, Ye Su naturally wanted to choose a brand that ordinary people would immediately recognize as expensive.

"I'll check online these next few days. For now, I'd better move the sofa to the shop before going home to eat."

After placing the Lalamove order, Ye Su went to the second bedroom and started moving the Lego bricks to the living room.

Buzz—

Buzz—

Not long after, the phone on the coffee table started vibrating.

"Hello, is this Lalamove?"

"You've already arrived at the underground parking garage?"

"I have a sofa and some other things to move down. Can you come up to 601 and give me a hand? I'll give you an extra 30 yuan."

"Yeah, okay."

Knock knock knock—

Shortly after hanging up, Ye Su heard someone knocking on the door.

"Coming."

He opened the door, and as expected, it was the truck driver, pulling a small trolley behind him.

"It's just this sofa and this pile of toys. We'll move them down together, and when we get there, you can help me move them into the shop. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem." The driver confirmed again, "It's an extra 30 yuan, right?"

"Yes."

After getting Ye Su's confirmation, the driver helped move the sofa to the truck in the underground garage first.

Then Ye Su took his own trolley, and together with the driver, they took dozens of boxes of toys down, then got into the truck and arrived at Echo Antique Shop.

The two of them worked together to lift the sofa into a corner, then cleared some space in the shop to put the Lego bricks together with the ones he had brought earlier.

Finally, Ye Su scanned the payment for the 30 yuan to the driver.

After the driver left, Ye Su locked the door and called a car to return home.

While in the car, Ye Su had already told Chen Xinyi he was coming back.

So when he arrived home, the sound of Chen Xinyi chopping vegetables could already be heard from the kitchen.

This scene of someone who could handle both the living room and the kitchen made Ye Su feel refreshed and delighted.

"You're back." Hearing the noise, Chen Xinyi poked her head out from the kitchen doorway. "It'll be a while before dinner is ready."

"Okay—"

Ye Su acted cute, peeked into the kitchen, and was then shooed out by Chen Xinyi.

With nothing better to do, Ye Su went to the second bedroom, turned on the computer, and started browsing the internet to see what kind of car he should get for around a million.

They say cars, watches, and guns are a man's three greatest hobbies, and it certainly seemed true now.

Ye Su hadn't originally cared much about cars, just feeling that now that he had money, he needed a better one to keep up appearances.

But now that he had opened the website, Ye Su slowly found himself dazzled by the choices; no matter what he looked at, those million-level cars all seemed so appealing.

With a budget of a million in hand, at first, Ye Su looked at different models from various brands with similar price points, like the BMW M4 coupe, Maserati Levante, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.

But gradually, the cars Ye Su was looking at turned into the million-plus Range Rover, then the two-million-plus Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG, and finally the Lamborghini Urus with an on-the-road price of over three million.

"If you parked this car in front of a bar, I bet it would come with automatic boarding, automatic disrobing, and automatic heating functions!"

Before, Ye Su thought a car was just a means of transportation and he didn't really like them that much.

Now Ye Su realized that he had really been pretending back then.

"Forget the Lamborghini for now. Wait until two months later when I have tens of millions on hand, then I'll get one to show off. For now, I'd better pick something more practical."

Although he was looking back at million-yuan cars.

But after looking back and forth at a whole bunch, Ye Su couldn't decide whether to buy a sedan, an SUV, or just get a porsche cayenne.

"What are you looking at so intently? Don't tell me it's those doctors, flight attendants, or whatever again?"

After Chen Xinyi finished cooking, she was just about to call Ye Su to wash his hands and eat when she saw him staring intently at the computer.

Driven by curiosity, she made a snide remark and walked over to the computer, wanting to see what could have Ye Su so engrossed while alone in the room.

"Why are you looking at cars again?"

Seeing the porsche on the computer screen, Chen Xinyi was a bit surprised. "Didn't you just buy that car after May 1st? You want to change it so soon?"
