327: Zisha tea set received

By the time Ye Su got home, he checked the time and it was already 4:41 PM.

"Today, only the 'Strong Gymnastic Bicycle' skill remains untriggered."

Before leaving in the morning, Ye Su had already drunk a cup of hot water using his 'health cup'.

Unfortunately, it didn't trigger the 'Drink More Hot Water' skill, and his 'Health' attribute remained at 64 points.

While eating takeout at noon, Yan Ran had already sent a message, arranging to have dinner at "Good Wine Good Cai Studio" at 6:30 PM.

Having been out running around all day again, Ye Su was covered in sweat and felt it would be improper to go to dinner like that.

So, he decided to get on the Strong Gymnastic Bicycle, planning to trigger today's 'Beneficial to the Body' skill, then take a shower before heading out.

Before riding the Strong Gymnastic Bicycle, Ye Su first took out his phone, opened the Alibaba Jiujiu Auction website, and checked the auction progress of the purple clay tea set set.

"Hmm? Someone else bid?"

After Ye Su raised the bid from 201 yuan to 701 yuan in the early morning, he thought he could deter others from bidding further.

Now, upon opening the website, Ye Su saw that two more people had bid today, raising the price of the purple clay tea set to 901 yuan.

Worried that too many bids might attract idle people who would randomly raise the price in secret, Ye Su only added 100 yuan this time before starting to pedal the Strong Gymnastic Bicycle.

The result was very smooth.

After raising the price of the purple clay tea set from three digits to four digits, no one continued to bid or compete with Ye Su for the item.

As soon as five o'clock arrived, the auction ended promptly. After Ye Su paid the auction amount and filled in the address, he calmly waited for the seller to ship the purple clay tea set.

Ding!

As soon as Ye Su completed the payment, the system screen popped up.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully bidding on the purple clay tea set! You have received an upgrade opportunity for the 'Mysterious Surprise Item - Ruyi Abacus'. Would you like to claim it?"

"Confirm claim!"

"'Mysterious Surprise Item - Ruyi Abacus' upgrade successful! Monthly reimbursement limit increased from 400,000 to 800,000!"

"'Ruyi Abacus' current monthly reimbursement limit: 800,000 yuan"

"'Ruyi Abacus' accumulated reimbursement this month: 1,270,278 yuan"

"'Ruyi Abacus' remaining reimbursement limit this month: 0 yuan"

"Hehe, another 400,000 in reimbursement limit. Next month, I won't have to worry about money for business."

Ye Su had already planned that the remaining 500,000 yuan for the original garment factory would be transferred on July 1st, to coincide with the 'Ruyi Abacus' reimbursement limit.

Additionally, the garment factory employees' wages would also be paid on July 15th, effectively holding back half a month's salary.

Plus, the Secondhand Shop and other miscellaneous expenses, he wouldn't have to worry at all about how to spend the 800,000 limit cleanly.

After closing the system, Ye Su continued to pedal the Strong Gymnastic Bicycle.

With further increased resistance, it took Ye Su 23 minutes to successfully trigger the skill.

"Host's current 'Physique' attribute is 77 points, rated as — Robust and Strong."

"Just 3 points away from breaking 80 points, the future is promising."

After admiring his current stats, Ye Su grabbed his clothes and went to take a shower... He had initially thought that Yan Ran, as the female boss of Yuexinhui, must be very busy with work and wouldn't have much time to wait for him in advance.

At 6:20 PM, Ye Su leisurely arrived at Good Wine Good Cai Private Kitchen on the 4th floor of Fangyuan Building.

Led by a waiter, he arrived at the private room Yan Ran had reserved in advance.

Upon entering, Ye Su realized that Yan Ran had already been waiting for him there.

Similar to the early morning, Yan Ran was only wearing a seemingly ordinary short-sleeved top and jeans.

However, even the most ordinary clothes looked extraordinary on her figure.

Moreover, Yan Ran's clothes only *looked* ordinary; it was possible that each piece cost tens of thousands of yuan in a department store.

Without the alluring wetness from falling into the reservoir, her thick, wavy long hair naturally draped over her chest, adding a few touches of a mature woman's charm.

"Sister Ran, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's fine, I just arrived too," Yan Ran said with a smile, gesturing to Ye Su, "Come, sit down."

"Okay."

"From what you said on the phone, I guessed you probably don't eat much spicy food, so I chose this Chaoshan private kitchen. If it's not to your taste, I've also reserved a private room at Taianmen, and we can go there to eat."

Yan Ran was as considerate as a rich woman keeping a young lover.

"No need for such trouble, Chaoshan cuisine is quite good. I'm from Guying, so I can try some hometown dishes from outside."

"You're from Guying? What a coincidence!" Yan Ran was first surprised, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"It seems we truly are destined. You went for a walk and happened to save me, and I chose a restaurant and happened to pick your hometown cuisine."

"Haha," Hearing Yan Ran say they were "destined," Ye Su, who knew exactly what was going on, could only laugh and went along with Yan Ran's words:

"Now that you mention it, it really is quite a coincidence."

After Ye Su sat opposite her, Yan Ran handed him the menu:

"I've already ordered a few dishes. See if they suit your taste, and feel free to order anything else you'd like."

"Okay."

Ye Su didn't stand on ceremony. He took the menu and looked through it.

Yan Ran had already ordered several of the signature dishes on the menu. Ye Su didn't know what else to order for a moment, so he handed the menu back to Yan Ran:

"This is my first time eating here, and I don't know what dishes are good, so I'll just follow your lead, Sister Ran."

"Alright."

With only two people dining, three dishes had already been ordered. After Yan Ran took the menu back, she added three more teas before asking the waiter to place the order.

After the waiter took the menu and left, Yan Ran looked at Ye Su with interest:

"I really didn't expect you to be a university student."

Ye Su joked, "Haha, am I too precocious, do I look old?"

Yan Ran gave Ye Su a charming glare and said grumpily, "Is it appropriate for you to tell your elder sister she looks old?"

Ye Su then realized he had forgotten that detail again and quickly explained:

"I look old, but you, Sister Ran, look young."

"Oh, so you're saying I'm actually old then?"

"Of course not!" Yan Ran's nitpicking made Ye Su exclaim that he couldn't handle it: "How young you are, Sister Ran! If we went out together now, people would think we were siblings."

"Stop, stop, stop," Yan Ran made a 'stop' gesture with both hands, interrupting Ye Su's flattery:

"You're bold to say that, but I'm too embarrassed to accept it. With how we both look, I'd be thanking heaven and earth if people thought we were siblings."

"Hehe."

Having overdone the flattery, Ye Su could only give an awkward smile and scratch his head.

Seeing Ye Su's reaction, Yan Ran outwardly rolled her eyes in annoyance, but inwardly, she found teasing such a handsome male university student quite amusing.

The situation in the early morning was special, the lighting dim, making it hard to see clearly.

Now, as she re-examined Ye Su, Yan Ran realized that not only was Ye Su very handsome, but his demeanor was also that of a sunny, attractive young man, far superior to those so-called 'fresh meat' male celebrities on TV today.
