Xu Yi thought it over for a moment, then shook his head.
"Forget it. I have plans for what I want to do after graduation. Selling cars isn't really for me."
"Okay."
Huang Lu looked a little disappointed, but quickly added, "If you ever want it, big brother, you can take it whenever you like."
"Okay."
The two chatted all night.
In the end, Huang Lu could barely keep her eyes open, and only then did she reluctantly part ways with Xu Yi.
Xu Yi's mind was now entirely focused on catching up on sleep. He stumbled back to his dorm in a daze.

Listening to the system's nonstop notification sounds, Xu Yi thought they had never been so grating.
He struggled to open his eyes and looked at Wang Liang and the other guy.
"Seriously, what's wrong with you two?"

Wang Liang: "Young Master Xu, did you really go out to dinner with the Campus Belle yesterday?"
"Yeah."
Negative Emotion Points +50*4
This was so damn unfair!
Their faces twisted with anguish, jealous tears streaming from the corners of their mouths.
"I'm done talking. I didn't sleep at all last night. I'm exhausted."
Negative Emotion Points +200*2
Damn it!!
The girl who was the apple of their eyes, their goddess... had suffered so badly at Xu Yi's hands.
Just thinking about it hurt.
That saying was absolutely true: the bike you're too precious to kick, someone else will stand up and pedal.
At a luxury hotel~
Ai Xiaoxing stretched. Her pale, delicate feet poked out from under the covers, and then she suddenly sat up, looking disbelieving.
Ah! Ah!
What did I do yesterday?!
She had drunk herself into a blackout, but a few fragments still lingered in her mind.
She'd almost sworn brotherhood with Xu Yi~
She'd cried and said she didn't want to be human~
She'd mocked Iceberg Yu to her face.
So embarrassing!!
The Abstract Girl had reached her darkest hour.
Elsewhere, Xu Yi's alarm rang.
Even though he'd gained another powerful backer, he couldn't quit his part-time job.
The point of working part-time wasn't to make money. It was to earn Emotion Points.
Opportunities only came to those who worked hard.
He took his car keys from the box, grabbed a quick bite, and left campus.
But he hadn't expected to run into Bingbing's crew.
Bingbing wore her usual sweet smile. "Xu Yi, there's something our production team would like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Sometimes our team can't keep up with filming, and some locations aren't convenient to shoot at. You've noticed that over the past couple of days."
Xu Yi nodded. That was true... he hadn't seen them at all these past two days.
But what did that have to do with him?
"So our team would like you to livestream, and then we'll broadcast it on TV."
Xu Yi frowned in displeasure. He already had enough part-time jobs. Now they wanted him to work like a pack mule, too?
"We'll pay you four million for the broadcast rights, and you can keep all the gifts from the livestream."
"How much?!"
"Four million."
"I'm happy to be your pack mule," Xu Yi said firmly.
As if she'd expected his answer, Bingbing took out a set of expensive livestreaming 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 guy. Why is the TV station treating me so well?"
Four million for showing off... and I get to keep all the gifts.
What kind of money are they trying so hard to launder?
Bingbing shook her head, bewildered. "I don't know the exact reason, either. But I heard it was an order from higher-ups."
Xu Yi got it at once. The higher-ups had probably noticed him long ago.
This was also a sort of indirect compensation to Xu Fan.
Because of this, the last bit of guilt Xu Yi felt toward Xu Fan disappeared.
As soon as Xu Yi got in the car, he opened his livestream.
Thanks to a few clips from his livestream going viral online, there were already over five thousand viewers before half an hour had passed.
Xu Yi was really going places. He'd even started livestreaming.
At this rate, Xu Yi would be hawking products before long.
There are people watching at this hour?
What's the streamer heading out to do?
Xu Yi: "This is another one of my part-time jobs: driving for a ride-hailing app. Without further ado, hop in, guys."
Just how many part-time jobs did Xu Yi have?
I thought I was a good enough pack mule, until I saw the streamer.
Xu Yi had only been accepting orders for two minutes when he got his first one of the day.
When he arrived at the pickup point, he saw a female office worker in formal business attire. She looked to be around thirty.
When she saw Xu Yi's Santana, the woman rolled her eyes several times and said sarcastically, "Why is it a Santana?"
"You're really taking orders in a car like this?"
Xu Yi: "Pspspsps..."
The woman froze. "What are you doing?"
"Don't you understand your native language?"

The woman was about to snap back, but after taking in Xu Yi's looks, she hesitated a little before getting in.
"Kind of handsome, but what a shame..."
"Driver, hurry up. I'm in a rush."
"Don't rush me as soon as you get in. What's the last four digits of your phone number?"
"137."
Xu Yi fell silent. "I mean the last four digits."
"137."
"The last four numbers of your phone."
"There aren't any. Stop asking."
Xu Yi silently clenched his fists. Calm down, calm down.
People in this society still deserved some understanding if they had a disability.
"Your phone's last four digits are the last four digits of your phone number."
The woman sounded impatient. "I didn't get a text just now. Where am I supposed to get four digits?"
Xu Yi: "..."
"I mean your phone number, ma'am."
"What's a phone number?"
"What's a phone number?"
His fists clenched. He was losing his temper.
Xu Yi took another deep breath. "Just tell me your phone number."
"137**...9657."
Mystery solved: 9657.
"Ma'am, next time you take a cab and someone asks for your phone's last four digits, tell them 9657," Xu Yi kindly advised.
But the woman rolled her eyes at him. "It's that simple... and you made such a big deal of it?"
He was completely flustered...
Usually, Xu Yi was the one who made other people lose their cool. This was the first time someone had made him lose his.
The boomerang he'd thrown all those years ago had come right back and hit him squarely.
I'm a poet; this spear is wine-pouring sand avoidance.
I'm an architect; this is the pillar.
Xu Yi pressed the gas and started the car, but the woman clearly wasn't about to let him off the hook.
"Why did you go back and forth with me just now?"
Xu Yi gave her a black-guy-confused look. Ma'am, do you want to listen to what you're saying?
"I have a boyfriend."
Xu Yi: "???"
"What are you looking at?"
"What exactly are you looking at?"
"Have you never seen a woman before?"
Xu Yi was utterly speechless. He slammed on the brakes and snapped, "Get out! Get out of my car!"
"Getting mad? Mad because I saw through you? You're driving, but how many times have you looked in the rearview mirror? I already told you I have a boyfriend."
Xu Yi laughed in exasperation. "I was checking the traffic. Have you ever driven a car?"
"Hmph. My boyfriend always picks me up in his sports car. Why would I need to drive?"
