Sigh
Huang Lu visibly relaxed.
"Alright, I'm heading off then."
Huang Lu looked at him reluctantly. "Go ahead, brother. Be careful on the road."
Xu Yi got into the driver's seat of the Porsche 911. He had to admit, you get what you pay for. The comfort was unbeatable.
He then stepped on the gas, the engine roaring wildly as he sped off and disappeared in a flash.
Huang Lu watched the direction the car left in, lost in thought for a moment. "Brother, how many more times will I see you?"
A medical record was torn to shreds.
[Streamer, driving a Porsche to do ride-sharing, you're something else.]
[Streamer, can you give me a ride? I'm a student.]
[You could be a pig and it wouldn't matter.]
[Streamer, it's best not to stream while driving. Elon Musk got banned last night for streaming while driving.]
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow at this comment. Those platform moderators really had iron guts, banning a major shareholder.
Just then, Xu Yi received a private message for a ride-share.
"Driver, can you hurry up? It's already past the estimated arrival time."
Xu Yi checked the time. Seven minutes past.
"My apologies, there was some traffic. I'll be there shortly."
The other party sent back a few ellipses.
A few minutes later, the passenger called to urge him.
"Driver, how much longer? This society is so competitive, if you don't work hard, will your salary increase?
Look at me, earning fifteen thousand, do I dare to be proud? I still work overtime until 11 PM."
Xu Yi frowned continuously. "Stop rushing me, I'm here."
"Where?"
"I'm honking."
The other party was silent for more than ten seconds, then a loud sound erupted.
[Shock Points +100]
"Ah!"
"A Porsche 911!"
"What's all the fuss about? Get in the car quickly."
"Buddy, why are you driving a Porsche for ride-sharing?"
"Because I'm not used to driving a Ferrari."
Six...
[Negative Emotion Points +50]
"What are you standing around for? Get in the car..." Xu Yi said, speechless.
They were rushing him like his life depended on it, and now that the car was here, they were dawdling and not getting in.
Were they looking for trouble?
"Big brother, can I sit in this car? Is it really okay?"
"Nonsense, it's just a means of transportation."
The man got into the car, trembling as if he were a blind person receiving a massage.
"Brother, how are you so rich? Share some tips on making money."
Xu Yi smirked. "Making money is easy. Rent out cars you don't use, rent out spare rooms too."
[Negative Emotion Points +150]
"Brother, stop talking. We're not from the same world."
Xu Yi smiled again. Some unscrupulous experts in his past life had said the same thing.
Now that he was saying it himself, it felt different, and he felt exceptionally comfortable.
Xu Yi accepted a few more ride-share requests, collected some Emotion Points, and then hurried to the agreed meeting spot with the "Abstract Sister."
As expected of the Abstract Sister, the location she chose was unusual, an Old Beiping Restaurant.
"Abstract Sister, other girls choose coffee shops, Western restaurants... places like that. Why did you choose this?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
Ai Xiaoxing seemed displeased with Xu Yi's nickname for her. She shot him a playful, reproachful glance that, to an outsider, would have seemed incredibly charming.
"What's so great about that place? It's pretentious and not cost-effective. This is much more practical."
Xu Yi continued to look at her, saying nothing.
[Negative Emotion Points +20]
"Okay, today I saw someone doing the Jingye accent on Douyin and thought it was really funny."
"Jingye accent?"
Having learned from her previous drunken experience, Ai Xiaoxing seemed to have let go a little.
Her face was still flushed, and she looked a bit flustered, but she still imitated it meticulously.
"Auv, we Old Beiping folks drink our congee in circles. That's what you call authentic~"
Xu Yi: "???"
Babe, do you even know what you're saying?
The stream viewers in the chat were even more bewildered, flooding the screen with question marks.
[Auv~ Guess what, I'm awake~]
[Who said this Campus Belle had a hard life? This Campus Belle is way too sweet!]
Seeing Xu Yi's strange expression, Ai Xiaoxing blinked her innocent big eyes.
"What's wrong? Did I say something incorrect?"
"No, you're the best (thumbs up)."
"Xu Yi, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat."
Xu Yi waved his hand. Hold off on treating for now. Settle my bill first.
Xu Yi pulled up his payment QR code.
"You got drunk last time at the hot pot, and I ended up paying. Plus this meal fee, and compensation for my time as a part-time worker. It's five hundred yuan in total, give me five hundred and fifty."
[Negative Emotion Points +100 * 3]
The Campus Belle said nothing, just relentlessly spewing Emotion Points.
"Why is it fifty more?"
"Is it Crazy Thursday today? Venmo me fifty."
"..."
[Negative Emotion Points +200]
"I'm the Campus Belle, you know. People line up to eat with me."
But this was precisely what attracted her. As the Campus Belle, she had seen too many simps and was utterly tired of them.
"You're not even worth being born."
A Sigma man would not fall into a woman's trap.
"I'm really impressed with you." Ai Xiaoxing rolled her eyes repeatedly.
After receiving the transfer, Xu Yi smiled in satisfaction.
"Alright, what did you need me for?"
"Ew? Drinking in circles still tastes the same."
Xu Yi: "..."
Family, can anyone relate? Besides eating, I've had two utterly speechless moments with the Campus Belle.
"Stop imitating internet memes in the future."
"Why?"
"Okay..."
"So, what did you need me for?"
Ai Xiaoxing wiped her mouth, sat up straight, and said very formally, "You're so talented, write a song for me."
"What for? Are you debuting?"
"Something like that. My dream is to be a singer, but my parents have always disagreed. So I want to find an opportunity to prove myself. And you... Xu Yi, you are my opportunity."
Xu Yi chuckled. Many hit songs from his past life on Earth flashed through his mind.
But he shook his head, "Why should I write for you? You don't think you can just get me for free because of two meals, do you?"
Ai Xiaoxing's face flushed a little more, and she murmured softly, "I didn't plan to get it for free."
"Yu Bing Mountain gave me this much when she asked me to write a score," Xu Yi held up one finger.
"Okay, I agree to one million."
Xu Yi stumbled, almost losing his balance.
When did rich women become so common?
Xu Yi felt a bit regretful. Had he agreed too readily? Had he asked for too little?
At this moment, Ai Xiaoxing was deeply touched.
Xu Yi might seem stingy, but he was quite generous with her at crucial moments.
A million for a song, what was the difference between that and him just giving it to her?
"Abstract Sister, I have to ask, does your family own a mine?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"Mm... we mine various ores in Africa, and also in Shanxi."
"Right, how did you know?"
They actually had mines!
Damn it! He definitely asked for too little...
Ai Xiaoxing asked expectantly, "Xu Yi, what kind of song are you going to write for me? How many days will it take to finish?"
"I'll finish it for you right now."
[Shock Points +50]
Ai Xiaoxing: "Huh?"
