An Qiqi

Su Tianyu had never dreamed that Yu Jinrong would invite him to work at his family's company. Besides, our Dog Six hadn't planned on working for a private firm, so he was momentarily stunned. Still, he reacted quickly. "Thank you, Uncle Yu, but I don't know what your company does, or whether my field is a good fit."

There was a hint of refusal in those words, which annoyed Su Zhengcai enough to step on Tianyu's foot under the table.

"My son started a company doing a little foreign trade." Yu Jinrong saw right through Dog Six and casually gave him a way out. "He needs talented people, haha! I'll introduce you two sometime, and you can talk it over yourselves."

"What's there to talk over? Is the Yu family's door open to just anyone?" Su Zhengcai wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away and immediately seized on the offer. "I'll decide for him. He'll come work for you!"

"Haha, let's see what the young man wants." Yu Jinrong smiled and gestured invitingly. "Come on, have some tea."

That brought the discussion of Su Tianyu to an end. For the rest of the time, Yu Jinrong and Su Zhengcai discussed the current state of the sanitation industry, touching on broad issues like wages, benefits, and workers' living conditions. None of it particularly interested Su Tianbei and the others.

After another half hour of tea, the banquet finally ended. The Su Family's four gallant heroes, warmed by alcohol, headed out of the compound into the cold wind, thoroughly satisfied. Before they left, the Yu family's housekeeper handed Su Tianyu a business card, saying it had Yu Jinrong's eldest son's contact information.

The place Su Tianyu and the others had visited that day wasn't the Yu family's residence in downtown Longkou City, but their estate on the outskirts.

The estate covered over twelve hundred square meters, with lush greenery and predominantly Huizhou-style architecture. It had everything: lawns, a swimming pool, a fishpond, and ornamental rockeries.

Looking around the compound, Su Zhengcai turned to the three younger members of the Su Family. "Ah, I wonder when I'll ever get to live in a place like this!"

Su Tianbei immediately replied, "We'll work hard and try to get something this big within ten years."

"Oh, stop talking out of your ass. I'd believe it if either of those two said it, but with that brain you inherited from your mother, I'll count raising you as worthwhile if you can burn me a paper version after I die," Su Zhengcai said with a sidelong glare.

"Could you stop crushing my enthusiasm all the time?" Su Tianbei protested. "What's wrong with me? That fortune-teller back in Nanhu even said I was destined for greatness!"

"Exactly. That's why I didn't pay him!"

"...Can we even have a conversation? I'm going to hang myself!" Su Tianbei was getting worked up.

Su Zhengcai ignored him and, with his hands behind his back, said to Su Tianyu, "We'll talk when we get home."

"Okay!" Su Tianyu nodded.

The four of them crossed the front courtyard and were about to head out to the car.

"Hey, you, Lu Feng! Wait a second." The beauty with the big eyes came out of the villa and called toward Su Tianyu.

Hearing someone call for Lu Feng, Su Tianyu instinctively glanced back.

The big-eyed beauty walked toward him. Su Tianyu stayed where he was, and their eyes met.

"Yes, you!" The big-eyed beauty quickened her pace.

"Fuck!" Su Tianyu cursed. "What kind of coincidence is this?"

The other three men of the Su Family turned back and looked at Su Tianyu curiously.

"You know her?" Su Tianbei asked.

"...I... guess you could say that." Su Tianyu didn't know that his meeting with the big-eyed beauty that day hadn't been entirely coincidental. Her family worked for the Management Council and regularly dealt with the Sanitation Company. They had crossed paths because she had accompanied her family there on business.

The big-eyed beauty approached in a pale yellow dress and slippers, her hair in a bun and her pretty face free of makeup.

"Do you remember me?" she asked Su Tianyu.

"...And you are?"

"Don't play dumb. You're the one who got into my car."

"Oh, right!" Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, Su Tianyu said, "I remember now. Yes, I got into your car that day."

"Then there's nothing else to discuss." The big-eyed beauty's pretty face was expressionless. "Pay up!"

"Who is she?" Su Tianbei cut in.

"Didn't I toss you some money that day?" Su Tianyu countered.

"That Winnie the Pooh was a limited edition. It alone cost over six hundred, and I haven't even had the car fixed yet!" The big-eyed beauty was furious. "I checked. The rear windshield alone costs eight hundred. The three or four hundred you tossed me wouldn't even cover touching up the paint."

Su Tianyu felt a little awkward and didn't want to argue with her. "Then how much do you want?"

"I worked it out roughly. Three thousand five hundred."

"...!" Su Tianyu paused, then immediately asked, "Why are you here? What's your relationship with Yu Jinrong?"

"He's my uncle."

"Oh. In that case, thirty-five hundred it is." Without hesitation, Su Tianyu turned to Tiannan and Tianbei beside him. "Do you two have any money?"

"I don't have that much cash on me." Su Tiannan had come for dinner, so naturally he hadn't brought any cash as a gift.

"...You know me. Even having two hundred in my pocket makes me uncomfortable," Su Tianbei replied quietly.

"What's going on?" his second uncle asked impatiently from the gate.

"Nothing." Su Tianyu waved a hand, then asked the young woman quietly, "Have you had your car fixed?"

"Not yet."

"How about this? I came here for dinner today and didn't bring that much cash. Leave me your number, and I'll contact you later." Su Tianyu pointed at the estate. "I know your uncle and his family. I'm not going to disappear, okay, gorgeous?"

The big-eyed beauty had been ready to explode. She had only recently bought her car, and its rear end had already been smashed to pieces. Even the Winnie the Pooh her friend had given her had had its head cracked open. But seeing that Su Tianyu was being reasonably polite and really did know her uncle, she calmed down somewhat. She went back to get a pen and paper and wrote down her contact information.

"An Qiqi. Okay, I've got it. I'll contact you in the next couple of days," Su Tianyu said, holding the slip of paper.

"That's settled, then." An Qiqi turned and left.

"Come on, let's go! Hurry!" Su Tianyu urged the others.

"Who is she?" Su Tianbei pressed.

"...That day Lu Feng was chasing me, I ran out of places to go, so I got into her car. Who knew Lu Feng would keep chasing and smash up her car too?" Su Tianyu said helplessly. "Fucking hell, what are the odds?"

"She's really pretty. Her legs are so fair."

"Ah, fuck, I forgot!" After stepping out of the gate, Su Tianyu suddenly froze.

"Forgot what?" Su Tianbei asked.

"Damn it, I should've given her Lu Feng's contact information. Fuck!" Su Tianyu climbed into the car.

On the second floor of the Yu family's villa.

"Has that other company approached you?" Yu Jinrong asked his eldest son.

"They have. We're in talks," his eldest son replied with a smile.
