Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, I have my own plans after graduation. Selling cars isn't really for me."

"Alright."

Huang Lu was a little disappointed but quickly added, "If Brother wants it, you can have it anytime."

"Okay."

The two chatted all night.

Finally, unable to stay awake any longer, Huang Lu reluctantly parted ways with Xu Yi.

Now, Xu Yi's mind was filled with thoughts of catching up on sleep. He stumbled back to the dorm in a daze.

[...]

Listening to the system's constant notifications, Xu Yi found the beeping unusually grating for the first time.

He forced his eyes open and looked at Wang Liang and the other guy.

"What the hell, are you two sick?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Wang Liang asked, "Young Master Xu, did you really go out to dinner with the Campus Belle yesterday?"

"Yeah."

[Negative Emotion Points +50*4]

Damn it!

The two wore expressions of utter despair, tears of jealousy streaming down their faces.

"I'm not talking about it. I didn't sleep all night, I'm exhausted."

[Negative Emotion Points +200*2]

Just born!!

The White Moonlight, the Goddess in their hearts... was treated so poorly by Xu Yi.

Thinking about it made their hearts ache.

That saying was absolutely true: the bicycle you're unwilling to pedal away, someone else will stand up and ride.

Inside a luxurious hotel~

Ai Xiaoxing stretched, her fair feet peeking out from the covers. She then suddenly sat up, her expression one of disbelief.

Ah! Ah!

What did I do yesterday?!

Even though she had blacked out, a few fragmented memories remained.

Almost becoming sworn brothers with Xu Yi~

Crying and not wanting to be human~

Complaining directly to Iceberg Yu.

So embarrassing!!

The abstract girl had reached her darkest hour.

Meanwhile, Xu Yi's alarm clock rang.

Although he now had an impressive new background, his part-time job couldn't be dropped.

The purpose of the part-time job wasn't to make money, but to gain Emotion Points.

Opportunities favor the diligent.

He took the car keys from the box, grabbed a quick bite, and left the campus.

But he didn't expect to run into Bingbing's team.

Bingbing still had that sweet smile, "Classmate Xu Yi, there's something our production crew would like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Many times, our team can't follow the filming in real-time, and some locations are inconvenient for shooting. You've noticed this the past couple of days."

Xu Yi nodded. Indeed... he hadn't seen them for the last two days.

But what did that have to do with him?

"So, our team wants you to stream live, and then broadcast it to the television station."

Xu Yi frowned unhappily. He already had too many part-time jobs, and now they wanted him to be a workhorse?

"We will pay you four million for the broadcast rights, and all the gifts from the live stream will be yours."

"How much?!"

"Four million."

"I'm willing to be your workhorse," Xu Yi stated decisively.

As if anticipating Xu Yi's response, Bingbing produced an expensive set of live-streaming equipment.

"This is a gift from the TV station."

Xu Yi looked at Bingbing in surprise, "Wait a minute, I have a question... I'm just a nobody, at best. Why would the TV station be so good to me?"

Four million for showing off... and the gift is all mine.

What kind of money is so hard to launder?

Bingbing shook her head blankly, "I don't know the specific reason either. But I heard it's a requirement from higher up for the TV station."

Xu Yi understood instantly. They must have noticed him a while ago.

This could also be considered indirect compensation for Xu Fan, for him.

With that, Xu Fan's last shred of guilt vanished.

After getting into the car, Xu Yi immediately started the live stream.

Because several clips of his previous streams had gone viral online, within half an hour, his stream had over 5,000 viewers.

[Xu Yi is really doing better now, he's even started live-streaming.]

[It won't be long before Xu Yi starts selling products.]

[People are still watching at this hour.]

[Where is the streamer going?]

Xu Yi: "This is my other part-time job, a ride-hailing driver. Enough talk, brothers, please get in."

[How many part-time jobs does Xu Yi even have?]

[I thought I was a workhorse, until I saw the streamer.]

Just two minutes after starting to accept orders, Xu Yi received his first order of the day.

Upon arriving at the pickup location, he found a female white-collar worker dressed in professional attire. She appeared to be around thirty years old.

Seeing Xu Yi's Santana, the female white-collar worker clearly rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Why is it a Santana?"

"You have the nerve to take orders driving a car like this?"

Xu Yi: "Tsk tsk tsk..."

The female white-collar worker was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you understand your own language?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

The female white-collar worker was about to retort, but upon seeing Xu Yi's looks, she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

"He's a bit handsome, but what a shame..."

"Driver, hurry up, I'm in a rush."

"Don't rush me as soon as I get in. What's your phone's last four digits?"

"137"

Xu Yi fell silent, "I mean your phone's last four digits."

"It's 137."

"The last four digits of your phone number."

"There are no last four digits, don't ask."

Xu Yi silently clenched his fists, calm down, calm down.

Society should still have some tolerance for people with disabilities.

"Your phone's last four digits are the last four numbers of your phone number."

The female white-collar worker's tone was impatient, "I didn't get a text just now, where would there be four digits?"

Xu Yi: "..."

"I mean your phone number, ma'am."

"What's a phone number?"

"What's a phone number?"

His fists felt hard.

Xu Yi took another deep breath, "Just tell me your phone number."

"137**...9657."

Case closed, it was 9657.

"Big sister, next time you take a taxi, if they ask for the last four digits of your phone number, just tell them it's 9657," Xu Yi kindly advised.

Unexpectedly, the female white-collar worker rolled her eyes. "That's so simple... and you took so long?"

He was speechless...

All this time, Xu Yi was the one who left others speechless. This was the first time he was left speechless.

The boomerang he threw years ago had now accurately hit himself.

[I am a poet, this halberd blocks wine and avoids poetry.]

[I am an architect, this is a pillar.]

At this moment, Xu Yi hit the accelerator and started the car, but the female white-collar worker clearly wasn't done with him.

"Why were you talking to me for so long just now?"

Xu Yi blinked in confusion. Lady, do you even hear yourself?

"I have a boyfriend."

Xu Yi: "???"

"What are you looking at?"

"What exactly are you looking at?"

"Haven't you seen a woman before?"

Xu Yi was utterly speechless. He slammed on the brakes and shouted, "Get out! Get out of my car."

"Getting worked up? Because I exposed you? You're driving, how many times have you glanced in the rearview mirror? I already said I have a boyfriend."

Xu Yi was so angry he laughed. "I was checking the road conditions. Have you ever driven a car?"

"Hmph, my boyfriend has always picked me up on his noble steed. Why would I need to drive?"
