499: Has it become a popular photo spot?

In the evening, Ye Jianguo, Ye Xin, and Ye Ruo returned home one after another. Ye Su then drove the whole family to Fu Man Clay Pot Congee for dinner.

Although it was Monday, business at Fu Man Clay Pot Congee was still good.

It was already 6:30 PM when the Ye family arrived at the restaurant, yet the twenty-something tables inside Fu Man Clay Pot Congee were mostly occupied, with only four or five tables left empty.

When entering, Ye Su specifically glanced at the counter.

On the left side of the counter's edge sat a three-legged golden toad. Its body was gilded, its eyes were decorated with red gemstones, it held a copper coin in its mouth, and a string of coins hung from its body.

The three-legged golden toad carried several gold ingots on its back, and on the connected gilded base, the character "Wealth" was written on every cloud pattern.

At this moment, in Ye Su's eyes, that golden toad ornament was glowing with a deep blue light; it was clearly the target of his trip.

After taking a deep look at the golden toad ornament, Ye Su followed the waiter's guidance and sat down at an empty table with Ye Jianguo and the others.

Besides the signature shrimp and crab seafood congee, Ye Jianguo also ordered oyster omelet, stir-fried clams, pan-fried turnip cake, and other snacks and small dishes.

Just as Ye Jianguo finished placing the order, the diners, the owner, and the waiters all noticed a sudden commotion at the entrance, with people gathering outside the door of Fu Man Clay Pot Congee one after another.

The owner went out to check the situation and discovered that a Lamborghini had been parked in front of his store at some point!

Many passersby who hadn't seen a Lamborghini before, but recognized the car logo, were treating the storefront like a check-in spot. While discussing it animatedly, they also took out their phones to take pictures as souvenirs.

Ye Xin and Ye Ruo, who had gone out to join the fun, returned and told Ye Jianguo and the others about the situation at the entrance.

"There are people outside holding phones, taking pictures of ASu's car."

Su Wan didn't quite understand this behavior: "It's just a car, what's there to take pictures of?"

"There's no helping it." Ye Xin explained: "Our area isn't like those first-tier cities. It's really hard to see a car like this here, so it's normal for people to be curious."

"Oh, I see." Su Wan didn't understand, but she respected it.

However, thinking about how her family's car was being photographed by passersby for no reason, Su Wan still felt it was a bit strange.

Ye Su also felt that this situation was quite troublesome, leaving him with no privacy at all.

Everywhere he went, wherever the car was parked, someone would take a photo, leaving evidence of his presence.

"By the way, Dad." Remembering that Ye Jianguo was still driving that old new-energy vehicle, Ye Su suggested: "You've been driving that car for several years. How about I get you a new one? Which model do you like?"

Ye Jianguo waved his hands repeatedly: "No need. That car is just fine. I reckon it can still be driven for a few more years; there's no need to change it."

"You should still change it." Ye Xin also advised at this moment: "The battery in your car has been used for several years and is becoming less and less durable. Replacing the battery is more expensive than selling the used car, so it's better to just get a new one."

In the past few months, with Ye Su's help, the online store had gained hundreds of thousands in income.

At the end of last month, the "great sage swimsuit" became a huge hit. The three garment factories worked overtime for a month to produce over a hundred thousand swimsuits, resulting in a net profit of probably several million.

Because of the surge in swimsuit sales, other products in his shop also saw decent sales figures.

Conservatively estimated, for the month from the end of June to the end of July, his total income was expected to reach two million!

Ye Su and Ye Jianguo's income from the great sage swimsuit was roughly the same.

The family's financial situation was getting better and better, and Ye Xin had also suggested getting a new car for Ye Jianguo.

But Ye Jianguo felt the car was still drivable, so he rejected Ye Xin's proposal to change cars.

Since Ye Jianguo didn't want to change cars, Ye Xin, who had money in his pocket, had to reluctantly plan to buy a new car for himself to drive.

For the past week, he had been looking for a car. He wanted to buy a car that would look impressive driving around in Yang County so he could show off in front of his friends later.

Now that Ye Su had proposed getting a new car for Ye Jianguo, Ye Xin naturally seized the opportunity to urge Ye Jianguo again to replace that old electric car.

"The battery on that car is a bit weak, but I only drive back and forth between the garment factory and home, so the battery is enough."

Ye Ruo, who specialized in stirring up trouble, excitedly said to Ye Su: "If Dad won't change it, that's fine. You can buy your Sister a new car. You don't need to buy anything too expensive; a porsche or something will do."

Ye Jianguo scolded her speechlessly: "You work at Shenli Group, and it's just a few steps back and forth. Why buy such an expensive car? Besides, the insurance, maintenance, and fuel costs for that kind of car are high. With your current salary, how much money will you have left after paying for the car every month?"

"It's fine." Ye Ruo persisted: "My salary will definitely be enough to support it."

Su Wan glanced at Ye Ruo sideways: "You're very rich, right? Then starting next month, your household contribution will go up by another thousand."

"Don't!" Ye Ruo wailed, waving her hands like windshield wipers: "I was just joking! I don't have money. I'm just a diligent worker, how could I have money!"

Too lazy to pay attention to Ye Ruo, and knowing that Ye Jianguo didn't dislike the idea of a new car but was just hesitant because the suggestion had come so suddenly, Ye Su made the decision immediately: "Let's consider the car change settled. When we get home later, we'll look at what car to get."

Ye Jianguo hesitated for a moment before finally nodding: "Alright, we'll see after we get back."

Seeing this, Ye Ruo started winking and making faces at Ye Su again, but Ye Su selectively ignored all of it.

It wasn't that Ye Su couldn't bear to spend the million-plus on a car for Ye Ruo.

It was just that Ye Xin had already mentioned to Ye Su yesterday that he also planned to get a car and wanted Ye Su to advise him.

Not counting his own Lamborghini, with one car for Ye Jianguo and one for Ye Xin, the family would have enough.

Furthermore, the space in front of their house could barely fit two cars.

If Ye Ruo really got a car, plus his own when he came home, that would be another one parked at the entrance.

With the whole family lined up with four cars, parking in front of other people's doors, some neighbors might start gossiping sarcastically behind their backs again.

Besides, the two siblings had grown up together; Ye Su knew Ye Ruo well.

Saying she wanted to buy a car was purely just talk.

With her current courage, it was already quite good that she dared to ride her little electric scooter to work.

If he really bought her a car to drive, she'd probably end up driving onto the curb while shaking.

"By the way." With the car matter turned over, Ye Ruo asked excitedly: "Did Manager Zhang's daughter contact you this afternoon?"

"No." Ye Su shook his head: "She told me this morning that her mother had woken up and was undergoing medical examinations. We haven't been in contact since then."

"Ah..." Hearing that Zhang Fengmao and his daughter hadn't contacted Ye Su again, Ye Ruo was so disappointed that her face almost scrunched up like a bitter melon.

Ye Xin's face also couldn't hide his disappointment.

He had been hoping that Zhang Fengmao would contact Ye Su to say when he would invite their family to dinner, so he could get a good look at this idol of all the people in Yang County.
