The lady boss could not hold back her laughter.
‘This young man is interesting. Bodhisattva? That’s a first.”
“My name is Gu Si. What’s yours?”
Gu Si put one of her hands outside the window of her car and greeted Su Yu.
Su Yu did not know what she wanted, but out of politeness, he reached out for a handshake. “You can call me Su Yu.”
“Little Su Yu, I see…So, this is your house?” Gu Si pointed at the gate further away.
Su Yu nodded. “This is my family house. Is there a problem?”
“I didn’t say there’s a problem. Let me introduce myself. I’m the owner of Changfeng Automobile. This is my name card.”
Su Yu accepted the name card.
‘The owner of the automobile shop? Why did she follow me back home?’
Gu Si tugged at the edge of Su Yu’s sleeve slightly. “I saw you carry the rickshaw all the way from my office on your own. Are you that strong? I like you. Why don’t you think about working at my place?”
Gu Si’s seductive tone danced around Su Yu’s ears and made his face turn red.
Su Yu was not afraid of a fierce tiger because he could just punch it away, but this time around, he ran into something more vicious than a tiger or a lion. He was facing a sophisticated lady in her early 30s trying to seduce him.
Her words broke through his mental defenses easily but working at her place?
Su Yu was not an idiot. She might be offering a job on one hand, but under the table, she wanted to take Su Yu in as her little sugar baby.
Su Yu was covered in sweat. ‘Am I already on the path of being a sugar baby even though I’m still so young? NO WAY!’
Despite the seductive offer that the wealthy, sophisticated lady made him, he replied with an awkward smile. “Sis, I don’t think it’s that appropriate. I already have a job, and I’m quite happy with it. Thank you for your offer, but I have to say no.”
Gu Si grinned mysteriously. “I’ll give you this much every month. You don’t need to do anything there except just stay beside me and become my personal assistant. What do you say?”
She put up three fingers and looked at Su Yu like a cougar eyeing its prey.
Su Yu took a deep breath. 30,000 a month? Which would roughly amount to 300,000 a year?! More importantly, he did not have to do anything except be there as her company. It was indeed an irresistible offer. No man with a sane mind could resist it!
On top of that, Gu Si looked decent and beautiful. Even though she did not get out of her car, Su Yu could tell she had a great body.
If it was not for his strong will and the presence of the system, he might have nodded.
If he did not have the system, there was a high chance that Su Yu would have just said yes in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, he was tied to a system that needed him to stream his rural village life, which somehow enabled him a bright future.
“Uh…No thanks, Sister Gu. I’m still young, and I want to try to build my own career. If you have the time, you can drop by my live stream on Lion Fang. Why don’t I add you on WeChat and send you the link to my stream later?” Su Yu subtly rejected Gu Si and slyly promoted himself.
‘Damn, I’m smart!’
Gu Si did not expect to be rejected. As she watched Su Yu add her on WeChat and flee like a rabbit, she curled her lips into a mischievous grin.
“What an interesting boy, but I won’t give up this easily! Just wait, Su Yu! You will not escape me!” She licked her lips and drove her Porsche away.
The faint fragrance of her lipstick was left behind in the air.
While Su Yu was talking to Gu Si, Uncle Zhang was watching them from the gate.
After Su Yu successfully escaped her, Uncle Zhang looked at him seriously. “Lil’ Yu, do you know that woman?”
“That woman? She’s the owner of the automobile shop earlier.”
“Did you know her before that?”
“No…?”
Uncle Zhang said in a stern voice, “Lil’ Yu, don’t you lie to me! We men must hold our pride tightly and dearly! We should not rely on women! You are still you. You can earn money with your own hands, so don’t succumb to temptation and shortcuts, understand?”
Su Yu felt Uncle Zhang shooting him an unusual gaze. He felt aggrieved because he really did not know Gu Si before this.
“Uncle Zhang, you are overthinking. I earned my money with my own hands, and I really don’t know her! It was a misunderstanding!”
Uncle Zhang was skeptical about his excuse.
A misunderstanding?
Gu Si had gotten so close to Su Yu during the conversation that she was but a bite away from his ear. Uncle Zhang was not blind, and he did not believe Su Yu’s claim that they had never met before this.
Su Yu might have been able to fool others but not his Uncle Zhang!
However, Uncle Zhang did not press on the matter as he did not want to interfere or care. Youngsters nowadays have their own thoughts, and everyone should live their own lives in their own way.
Uncle Zhang was an open-minded person. As long as Su Yu was happy, he had nothing to say.
He tapped Su Yu’s shoulder. “Okay, I believe you. It’s getting late, so I’m heading back.”
Uncle Zhang wanted to leave.
Su Yu was left speechless. He could tell from Uncle Zhang’s eyes that the man did not believe a word he said.
“Wait, Uncle Zhang. Here, take this bank card.” He suddenly thought of the bank card and took it out from his pocket.
Uncle Zhang turned around and looked at Su Yu strangely. “What’s this?”
‘The kid must be trying to keep my mouth shut!’
“Remember the bow you asked me to sell? I sold it and got 120,000 RMB. All the money is inside this card. Did you forget?”
Uncle Zhang’s jaw fell to the ground when he heard the figure. “Lil’ Yu, how much did it sell for?!”
“120,000. What’s wrong?”
“For real? That bow is worth that much?!”
Uncle Zhang never would have thought that the bow he had spent a hundred plus on a few decades ago would be worth so much now.
120,000 RMB! The price was as ridiculous as it sounded. The money was more than enough for him and his wife to spend for a few years.
“Uncle Zhang, I told you before that old stuff is valuable. Now, you know I’m not lying.”
Uncle Zhang nodded stiffly, still caught in shock.
Then, Su Yu stuffed the bank card worth 120,000 into Uncle Zhang’s hand.
Uncle Zhang regained his senses. He shook his head and insisted, “Lil’ Yu, this isn’t right! It’s too much! I can’t take it all! Just give me half of it!”
If Su Yu had not sold the bow on his behalf, Uncle Zhang would never have known that the bow he got from the craftsman was worth that much until the day he died. He might have even thrown it away if he did not treasure it. Therefore, he believed that Su Yu should take half of the revenue while he took the other half.
Su Yu shook his head while he replied strongly, “Uncle Zhang, no way! It’s your bow, and I’m selling it for you. If I take half of the earnings, won’t that make me a scalper? My parents will come back from their graves and choke me at night if they knew about this.”
Su Yu did not want any share, so he pushed the card back to Uncle Zhang. Moreover, he himself had earned a lot from the live stream.
Uncle Zhang gleefully took the bank card. He had earned 120,000 just like that, so he was over the moon. He even forgot about the condition of his back. He grabbed Su Yu’s hand and insisted that he had dinner at his house.
“Lil’ Yu, you must drink with me tonight! Till insobriety do us apart!”
