Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Rich Lady, Hungry Hungry, Food Food
These days, if you donât manage the household, you wonât know the cost of firewood and rice. After almost a month of hard work earning money from the stock market, nearly half of it was gone in an instant. If you consider Old Suâs five thousand, itâs like heâs almost back to square one.
Luckily, he doesnât have big money on hand right now, but heâs not short of small change. Recently, the profits from the stock market have been quick, and along with his principal amount, he still has tens of thousands.
Even though itâs still a critical time for money to make more money, he understands that without a bull market and significant fluctuations, the current amount he has wonât make much difference in the short term. It can only accumulate slowly.
But heâs not worried, after all, thereâs a ten thousand reward on the way, which should arrive soon. Once it does, along with his existing principal, he can put over a hundred and fifty thousand into the stock market for operations.
With a narrative supporting him, he might earn a little, but he definitely wonât lose. And once his principal accumulates, the speed of earning will greatly improve; he could reach several hundred thousand, maybe even millions, within three or four months, and thatâs without a bull market.
So giving Su He this little bit doesnât hurt him; sheâs his younger sister after all. Even without todayâs incident, he would have offered something after her college entrance exams because back when he went to college, Su He took five hundred from her little savings for him.
Itâs just that he feels the odds are a bit high.
"Your sister... sheâs pretty cute!" Shen Yi chuckled while sitting on the sofa.
After the earlier episode, she seemed to realize her presence caused some misunderstanding.
"Cute my ass. Sigh, eight hundred bucks, thatâs my two monthsâ salary," Su Qing said, slightly pained.
Although he gave the money, he wasnât willing. If heâd waited a few days, he could have earned a little more money. It still feels like a loss.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Just that little bit of money? Iâve dropped more than that between my fingers. How about it, take good care of me, and thatâs nothing!"
At the end, she couldnât help but burst out laughing.
After Su He left, there were only the two of them left in the apartment. Perhaps because Su Qing was younger, Shen Yi always felt a desire to tease him when they were alone.
Simply put, she relied on being older to view the younger oneâs antics from an adultâs perspective.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldnât help but roll his eyes, thinking, "Youâre just all talk. If you really mean it, then throw money at me! If hundreds and eighty thousand were thrown at me, wouldnât I do whatever?"
The damn male ego.
Then he changed the subject, "So, what brings you here today? Itâs only Friday, and youâre already giving yourself a holiday? Seems like being a boss has its perks!"
He knew that although Shen Yi, as a boss, didnât need to work, she had numerous responsibilities that might even make her busier than regular employees.
Thinking this over, Shen Yi smiled, "Finding leisure amidst busyness, but today I indeed have some business to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Su Qing asked, a bit confused.
He couldnât quite understand what a boss might want to discuss with a homebody like him.
"Itâs about work."
"Work? You want me to work in your company?"
Shen Yi shook her head, "Not really. But recently, the company needs promotion. You make short videos, right? Thereâs an ad, interested in taking it? Itâs a paid gig."
"Promotion? Shouldnât you be hiring celebrities to endorse it and then showcase the ad?" Su Qing asked, confused.
He made money from short videos but didnât sell goods or do live streams for rewards. It was all about viewership, making some tough money. He wanted to accept ad promotions, but without a large fan base, it rarely came his way. So far, heâd only received a game promotion offer that paid three thousand, which made him thrilled.
"And you call yourself a media person? Donât you know the most direct promotional method now is online?" Shen Yi laughed.
Frankly, todayâs work talk was just an excuse. She mainly came because she missed hearing from him. Although she had a voice fetish before, she never quite got satisfied, but since Su Qing appeared, that longing amplified significantly. So, no matter how busy, sheâd send Su Qing a few voice messages daily.
Recently, not visiting for a few days, sheâd felt a scratching emptiness inside, like a little cat clawing, so after discussing with her assistant Deng Jie, she concocted a fairly passable excuse to come over.
The actual excuse didnât matter much; it merely justified her visit. Another point was she hadnât given up pulling Su Qing into her company, even temporarily.
"Aunt Shen, even if weâre young, that doesnât mean you can fool me!"
"I know about online promotion, but even if itâs for promotion, wouldnât seeking a big-shot blogger with a hundred thousand followers be effortless? Whatâs the use of a small blogger like me with fewer than ten thousand followers and mediocre play counts?"
He was quite aware of his own status, so he felt Shen Yi was compensating or rewarding him for failing to allocate work, but he truly didnât like it.
Even without much cash in hand, he believed he was destined for greatness in the future.
"Who said youâd be the only one? Bloggers with a hundred thousand followers might not be as effective as ten bloggers with ten thousand followers, and their fees are higher. So, I thought of you. How about it, want the job? Donât worry, the company will send someone to discuss it with you; I wonât interfere, and itâll be market-priced."
Shen Yi, sharp as ever, immediately sensed what he was thinking and knew his concerns. So she displayed a business-as-usual demeanor, hoping to honor her little benefactorâs male pride.
She wasnât concerned about the fee; mainly, she wanted a reasonable excuse for being there.
Once Su Qing heard this, he took a deep breath; he was tempted. He couldnât accept other money, but money earned through his own efforts was fair game.
Although his following hadnât reached ten thousand, it was close. Better he earned it than someone else, right? He wasnât shirking effort.
Collecting his thoughts, Su Qing took a deep breath, "Deal, when should we start?"
"How about now!" Shen Yiâs lips curved mischievously at the achieved goal.
As soon as the words fell, a familiar narration echoed in his mind.
[Young and inexperienced individuals are ultimately no match for old foxes; some struggle for food, others strive to eat, while wealth chases you to feed you.]
Su Qing: (ïżŁâĄïżŁ;)
Suddenly, his mind conjured an image of a cartoon shark shouting âRich lady, hungry, food.â
In the next moment, Shen Yi stood up and continued, "Letâs go to the next thing."
"Whatâs the next thing?"
"Join me for lunch and shopping."
Su Qing:...
Well, itâs still a sort of companionship!
