448: Is our company going to fail?

"Huh?" After Ye Su revealed her second-hand platform ID, Su Yingxuan sat there in a daze, her mouth slightly agape.

A second later, she finally reacted and asked in disbelief, "The one who bought my tablet... it wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"

The reason Su Yingxuan hadn't reacted immediately to Ye Su buying her tablet was mainly because, subconsciously, she felt that someone like Ye Su would surely have even a hoe for farming made of gold.

How could such a wealthy person possibly buy a tablet on a second-hand platform that she had used for years and was now only worth a little over a thousand? Isn't that equivalent to Jack Ma planning to change his car, then going on Guazi Used Car to pick out a Tesla?

"If 'Cool 79' is yours, then yes, I did buy your tablet."

Ye Su beckoned to the dazed Su Yingxuan, "Get in the car first. Let's move to another spot; don't block the bus that's coming into the station."

"Oh, okay." After snapping back to reality, Su Yingxuan obediently got into Ye Su's car, and he drove her to a spot ahead suitable for a temporary stop.

While driving, Su Yingxuan secretly glanced at Ye Su a few times, feeling that the two of them were truly fated to be able to buy her second-hand tablet in such a vast sea of people. Is this what they call a fated connection?

This sudden thought gave Su Yingxuan a big scare. She hurriedly threw the absurd notion to the back of her mind while guiltily stealing a glance at Ye Su. At this moment, Ye Su was focused on parking and naturally had no time to spare for the little thoughts of the girl beside him.

Knowing full well that Ye Su couldn't possibly know what she had just been thinking, Su Yingxuan still couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After parking the car, Ye Su looked at the milk tea bag in Su Yingxuan's hand. The azure light radiating from it deeply attracted his attention: "Is this the tablet you want to sell?"

Noticing Ye Su's gaze, Su Yingxuan hurriedly handed over the milk tea bag, "Yes, the charger is inside too."

"Alright."

Ye Su reached out to take the milk tea bag, took out the tablet, and symbolically turned on the screen to swipe it a few times.

Su Yingxuan, inexplicably nervous, introduced it from the side, "This tablet has always been used by me personally. It has always had a protective case and screen protector, so it hasn't been bumped or repaired."

"OK."

The intelligence had already indicated that this tablet was a [Mysterious Surprise Item], so naturally, there wouldn't be any problems. Hearing Su Yingxuan's introduction, Ye Su proceeded to put the tablet back into the milk tea bag, "I'll cancel the order on the platform, and I'll just transfer the money to you directly."

"No need!" Su Yingxuan waved her hands repeatedly. "This tablet isn't worth much; you can just take it!"

"How can that be?" Ye Su laughed. "If I don't pay, wouldn't that make me, the boss, exploit you, my employee?"

After saying this, Ye Su took out his phone and transferred 1100 yuan to Su Yingxuan.

"Alright." Since her boss insisted on paying, Su Yingxuan had to obediently comply and clicked on Ye Su's transfer.

[Ding!] As Su Yingxuan accepted the transfer, Ye Su also heard a notification sound from the system.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully purchasing the [Intelligence Item - Tablet Computer]; you have received a [Mysterious Surprise Item - Upgrade Voucher] as a reward. Please check it, Host!]

"Nice! The Upgrade Voucher is also in hand. When I get home, I'll check what Mysterious Surprise Item I can upgrade!"

Su Yingxuan didn't notice Ye Su secretly grinning beside her. After accepting the money, she couldn't help but curiously ask, "Boss, why would you buy a second-hand tablet on Xianyu?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Ye Su also knew that with his current net worth, specifically buying a phased-out second-hand tablet did seem a bit strange, so he casually made up an excuse: "I have some business that happens to require this kind of old model tablet, so I hunted for one on Xianyu. I didn't expect to happen to buy yours."

"Oh, so that's it. No wonder you would buy a second-hand tablet." After Su Yingxuan realized this, she tentatively started joking with Ye Su: "When I heard that the person buying my tablet was you, I thought something had happened to our company, to the point where even the boss was reduced to needing to use an old tablet."

"Haha." Ye Su laughed heartily. "Don't worry. Even if your boss were down on his luck, your monthly salary would definitely still be paid on time."

"Hehe."

Perhaps due to the buffs from the system's various attributes, Ye Su naturally carried an air of approachability. Listening to him joke along with her also made Su Yingxuan gradually lose the nervousness that sometimes arose from being in the confined space of the car with Ye Su for the first time, restoring her usual lively and cheerful appearance: "Boss, don't worry. Even if our company really has any problems, I will remain loyal to you."

"Heh—" Ye Su chuckled. "What's this? Our company hasn't even officially opened, and you're already starting to worry that we can't keep running?"

Su Yingxuan thought she had said the wrong thing. Her heart, which had just relaxed, instantly jumped back into her throat, and she hurriedly waved her hands at Ye Su: "Boss, that's not what I meant! I just wanted to say that I will live and die with our company!"

"Haha." Ye Su laughed and signaled for Su Yingxuan not to be so nervous: "There's no need to talk about life and death so seriously. Anyway, you guys just work hard, and I'll be responsible for paying the salaries. Let's make the company big and strong together."

"Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely work hard!"

Seeing Su Yingxuan's determined expression, Ye Su didn't doubt for a second that if it weren't for the constraints of the car's interior space, she would have jumped up like a model soldier and saluted him loyally.

"Alright, then I'll leave the company to you guys."

Ye Su pulled two scratch-off lottery tickets from the armrest box and handed them to Su Yingxuan: "In light of your loyalty to the company, I'll give you these two winning scratch-off lottery tickets. However, I just grabbed them at random, so I don't know how much money is on them; it depends on your own luck."

"For me?!"

"What, you don't want them?"

"Of course I do!"

Su Yingxuan's eyes lit up like the rabbit officer from Zootopia, and she excitedly took the scratch-off lottery tickets from Ye Su's hand.

Seeing that she had snuck out during work hours to sell a tablet, and he hadn't said anything to her, but instead rewarded her with two winning scratch-off lottery tickets. She didn't know where she could find a second peerless good boss like this. Su Yingxuan silently swore that she must work like a horse or ox for this boss for the rest of her life!

"Alright." After rewarding this loyal little employee, Ye Su then said, "I'll give you a ride back since it's on my way."

"Okay." Su Yingxuan nodded obediently. "Then I'll trouble you."

"It's on the way, what's there to be troubled about."

After saying this, Ye Su stepped on the gas, drove Su Yingxuan back to the entrance of the residential complex they rented, declined the invitation to go up and sit for a while, and drove back into the Apartment Complex.

After getting out of the car, Ye Su carried the milk tea bag into the elevator, habitually taking out his phone to swipe around casually to pass the time in the elevator.

When the screen lit up, Ye Su also saw that the status bar showed unread text messages.
