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

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

"Alright."

Huang Lu was a little disappointed but immediately added, "Brother, if you want it, you can take 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 the need to catch up on sleep. Drowsily, he returned to the dormitory.

[...]

Listening to the continuous system notifications, Xu Yi found them particularly grating for the first time.

He struggled to open his eyes and looked at Wang Liang and the other person.

"Seriously, are you two sick?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Wang Liang: "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 grief and despair, tears of jealousy streaming down their faces.

"I'm not saying anymore. I didn't sleep all night last night, I'm exhausted."

[Negative Emotion Points +200*2]

Just give me a break!

The white moonlight, the goddess in their hearts... was treated so poorly by Xu Yi.

It was heartbreaking to think about.

The saying was absolutely true: the bicycle you're reluctant to get off, someone else will ride standing up.

Inside a luxurious hotel~

Ai Xiaoxing stretched, her fair feet emerging from the covers. She then sat up abruptly, her expression one of disbelief.

Ah! Ah!

What did I do yesterday?!

Although she had blacked out from drinking, a few fragments still lingered in her mind.

Almost becoming sworn brothers with Xu Yi~

Crying and not wanting to be human~

Complaining about Iceberg Yu to his face.

How embarrassing!!

The abstract woman had reached her darkest moment.

Meanwhile, Xu Yi's alarm clock rang.

Even though he now had another impressive background, his part-time job couldn't be neglected.

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 then left the campus.

However, he unexpectedly ran into Bingbing's team.

Bingbing still had that sweet smile, "Student Xu Yi, there's something our program team would like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Many times, our team can't keep up with the filming, 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 it 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 enough part-time jobs, did they want him to be a workhorse too?

"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 a workhorse," Xu Yi stated decisively.

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

"This is a gift from the TV station."

Xu Yi looked at Bingbing in surprise. "Wait, I have a question... I'm just an ordinary person, at best. Why would the TV station be so good to me?"

Four million to show off... and the gifts are all mine.

How difficult could it be to launder this money?

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

Xu Yi understood immediately. They had probably noticed him long ago.

This was a form of indirect compensation for Xu Fan, for him.

Because of this, Xu Fan's last shred of guilt disappeared.

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

Thanks to a few viral clips of his live streams, it only took half an hour for his stream to reach over 5,000 viewers.

[Xu Yi is really doing well for himself, actually starting to live stream too.]

[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 said, "This is my other part-time job, an online car-hailing driver. Enough talk, brothers, please get in the car."

[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.

When he arrived at the pickup location, he saw a female white-collar worker dressed in formal business attire. She looked to be around thirty years old.

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

"How dare you accept orders driving a car like this?"

Xu Yi replied, "Tsk tsk tsk..."

The female white-collar worker was stunned. "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 after seeing Xu Yi's appearance, she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

"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 the last four digits of your phone number?"

"137"

Xu Yi fell silent. "I meant the last four digits of your phone number."

"It's 137."

"The last four digits of your phone number."

"I don't have a last four digits, don't ask."

Xu Yi clenched his fist silently, trying to stay calm.

Society should still have some tolerance for people with disabilities.

"The last four digits of your phone number are the last four digits of your phone number."

The female white-collar worker sounded very impatient. "I didn't get a text message just now, where would the last four digits come from?"

Xu Yi: "..."

"I meant 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. "Could you please 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 digits of your phone number, just tell them it's 9657," Xu Yi kindly reminded her.

Unexpectedly, the female office 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 someone had left him speechless.

The boomerang he'd thrown years ago had now accurately hit him.

"I'm a poet, this halberd is my wine and poetry shield."

"I'm an architect, this is my pillar."

At this moment, Xu Yi stepped on the accelerator and started the car, but the female office worker clearly wasn't done with him.

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

Xu Yi was hit with a black question mark. Sister, 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 completely speechless. He slammed on the brakes and said sternly, "Get out! Get out of my car."

"Impatient? Impatient because I exposed you? You're driving, how many times have you glanced at 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 driven his warhorse to pick me up. Why would I need to drive?"
