Ye Tian looked at Su Yuxin and said with a smile, "Be my wife."
Su Yuxin looked at Ye Tian, not getting angry but instead giving him an encouraging look, she smiled and said, "Sure, but marrying me won't be easy. First, you need to prepare a dowry of one billion Renminbi, then I'll consider it."
Su Yuxin was completely joking, she herself was striving for that billion figure.
By mentioning that figure, her intention was to intimidate Ye Tian into backing off; with his background, he could never hope to earn that much money in a lifetime.
"Are you serious?" Ye Tian's eyes suddenly radiated an eager glow.
"Serious!"
After saying that, Su Yuxin went into the washroom to fix her makeup, and then they both left the splendid floral city.
After they exited, they went their separate ways.
Ye Tian headed to the medicinal herb market as he had run out of the previous bunch he bought.
The ingredients for hangover tea were inexpensive. Ye Tian purchased a large quantity, while the ingredients for Qi-gathering Liquid were much more expensive, and he only bought fifteen portions.
For the next two days, Ye Tian was busy at home preparing hangover tea and Qi-gathering Liquid.
He managed to prepare forty bottles of hangover tea. From the fifteen portions of materials for Qi-gathering Liquid, he managed to produce only four bottles, indicating a low success rate.
After consuming the four bottles of Qi-gathering Liquid, his internal Qi grew slightly more robust, but he was still far from reaching the Qi Refinement Second Level.
In the morning, just as Ye Tian had washed his face and brushed his teeth, his phone rang.
Ye Tian answered the call, and the cheerful voice of Director Zhang came through.
"Brother Ye, did you manage to prepare any new hangover tea these past days?"
"Director Zhang, didn't you just buy twenty bottles a couple of days ago? How come they're gone so quickly?" Ye Tian was taken aback.
"Ah, don't mention it. Those beasts found out I had this fantastic stuff and they all snatched it from me, leaving none for myself!"
While Director Zhang sounded upset, his voice didn't convey any displeasure.
Although the hangover tea was snatched away, he had earned people's favor.
This would make future business much smoother.
Hearing this, Ye Tian also laughed; the greater Director Zhang's need, the more he would earn.
"I happen to have thirty bottles right now; come and pick them up."
"Thirty bottles! That's great! Brother Ye, you are truly a lifesaver!"
Director Zhang said he'd drive over immediately, even postponing a meeting he had at the company.
After Ye Tian hung up, he cooked two poached eggs, warmed a cup of milk, and had just finished eating when the doorbell rang.
Soon, a delighted Director Zhang left with the thirty bottles of hangover tea.
Ye Tian received a message notifying him that his bank account had been credited with 600,000 Renminbi.
Ye Tian was very pleased. Making 600,000 in one go was something he couldn't even dare to think of before, but now it had become quite easy.
Thanks to that ancestral Jade Pendant, his life's trajectory had completely changed.
Ding!
Ye Tian received a WeChat notification and opened it to see a message from Wang Xiaolu.
Wang Xiaolu: Brother Tian, I went traveling with my parents these past few days and wasn't on WeChat. Just got back and saw your message.
Ye Family's little peasant: Yo yo, Wang Xiaohua seems to have had a blast. Where did you go?
Wang Xiaolu: I went to Sanya to relax a bit. Brother Tian, how about I treat you to a meal today? I haven't had the chance to thank you for saving me that day. (A cute expression)
Ye Family's little peasant: Sure! Where does Wang Xiaohua plan to take me to eat? (A cheeky expression)
Wang Xiaolu: How about that new fish cool place that opened at Wanda?
Ye Family's little peasant: Sure thing, I'll follow your lead, Wang Xiaohua.
Wang Xiaolu: Great, shall we meet at the entrance of Wanda at 10:30?
Ye Family poor farmer: Yes, my school beauty.
Wang Xiaolu: If that's the case, then I'll get ready to head out, see you in a bit.
Ye Tian lives in Jindu Gardens, which is quite a distance from Wanda, about a half-hour taxi ride.
Standing in front of the mirror, Ye Tian realized his clothes were all pretty old; he hadn't bought clothes in three years.
"Today after having dinner with Wang Xiaohua, I'll just buy some new clothes at Wanda."
After getting ready, Ye Tian left the house and took a taxi to Wanda.
…
At ten twenty, Ye Tian got out of the taxi.
He stood in the large square in front of Wanda, looking around, saw several stylish beauties, but didn't spot Wang Xiaohua.
Ye Tian immediately took out his phone, opened the chat with Wang Xiaolu, and sent a message that he had arrived.
Wang Xiaolu: Brother Tian, you're so quick, I just left home. It will probably take another twenty minutes. You go ahead and grab a spot at the Fish Cool restaurant.
Ye Tian had no objections, quickly located the restaurant, secured a table, and ordered some dishes as Wang Xiaolu suggested.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Xiaolu arrived.
She wore a Mickey Mouse printed T-shirt and blue denim shorts that came ten centimeters above her knees, revealing her pale, slender legs, paired with a set of sneakers, looking very casual and full of youthful energy!
Just after sitting down, the fish they ordered was ready, and the two enjoyed their meal while chatting cheerfully.
"Brother Tian, what are you planning to do this afternoon?"
Wang Xiaolu put down her mango juice and looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled and said: "Planning to buy some clothes."
Wang Xiaolu immediately said: "That's great, I'm totally free this afternoon, how about I accompany you for shopping?"
"Sure, Wang Xiaohua can help me pick something out."
Wang Xiaolu went to pay the bill and asked Ye Tian to hold her black casual backpack.
While paying, Wang Xiaolu received a phone call from her best friend.
"Xiaolu, we are singing at Yuanming KTV? Come over later."
"Jiayu, I won't be coming over, I got something this afternoon."
"What's so important? Abandoning a few of us besties? Is it a boyfriend?"
At that moment, the phone was snatched by another person, it was a woman's voice.
"Xiaolu, since when did you get a boyfriend? Tell us honestly, who is it? It's not Huang Qiusheng, right?"
Huang Qiusheng is a school heartthrob and rich young master who has been pursuing Wang Xiaolu.
However, Wang Xiaolu is not at all interested in that Huang Qiusheng.
"Wenwen, stop joking, I'm not interested in Huang Qiusheng. Didn't I tell you that I almost got into trouble in Xianglong Bar last time, but someone saved me? I am just treating him to a meal."
"Oh! So it's that heroic brother who saved the beauty, it seems he has already stolen our Xiaolu's heart, otherwise why would she forget about us besties so cruelly."
"It's not what you guys think, I'm just truly grateful to him," Wang Xiaolu defended strongly.
At the other end of the phone, a giggling sound was heard.
"There, there, we understand, we'll forgive you for choosing a guy over friends this time. Remember to treat us girls to a meal later, and bring that heroic brother along for us to see."
After ending the call, Wang Xiaolu turned around and saw Ye Tian sitting on the sofa, a sweet smile creeping on her pretty face.
After paying the bill, the two left the Fish Cool restaurant and headed to the gentleman's brand store on the fifth floor.
The fifth floor houses big brands where clothing prices start from a thousand renminbi after discounts, frequented by well-dressed successful individuals.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, the combination of Ye Tian and Wang Xiaolu immediately attracted many incredulous stares.
"F*ck, how did this poor dude get such a hot girlfriend, it's so unfair."
"Hey! A poor dude, daring to come here? Doesn't he know the clothes here all start from a thousand renminbi? Can he, a poor dude, actually afford them?"
