Tipping and cashback rewards, all the male idols are vying to make me the number one on their donati

Chapter 288 Indeed Very Busy (Pei Yangbai)
He ran over excitedly, but now he looks visibly listless.

Pei Yan trapped himself in a dead end, unable to find the way out. He still couldn't understand how a person could accept several people liking him with a clear conscience.

This is irresponsible to oneself and to others.

But looking at the face that made her heart flutter, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Do you think I'm pretty bad?

Shen Zhaoyi bluntly pointed it out.

Pei Yan looked somewhat flustered after his thoughts were guessed.

"No."

"I just didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, this secret was uncovered.

If he didn't know, he could pretend to be confused, shamelessly stick by Shen Zhaoyi's side, and enjoy this immoral feeling of stealing.

But now, how should this situation proceed?

Pei Yan was unsure of his feelings for Shen Zhaoyi, or rather, he hadn't quite realized whether his desire to be close to her stemmed from dependence or something else...

This time, he didn't stay for dinner and planned to leave early.

Because the window paper is about to be torn down, if we wait any longer, we might really lose our minds.

Xu Meng stood at the kitchen door and saw the handsome young man's dejected figure. Then she glanced at her boss and felt like she had missed out on some juicy gossip.

Pei Yan returned to the convoy and slept for an entire afternoon, trying to numb his thoughts.

When I woke up, it was already dusk outside the window.

He lay in bed, silent for a long time, before finally picking up his phone to browse Shen Zhaoyi's WeChat Moments.

There's also Qiuyu.

The two barely interacted; in fact, it could be said that neither of them had as strong an impact as his presence.

In fact, the biggest hurdle to overcome lies here.

Unable to calm down, Pei Yan resignedly got up and went to knock on Chen Hong's door next door. He desperately needed a strategist to analyze the current situation.

People never get tired of discussing relationships and gossip, and the room lights stayed on almost until dawn that night.

Shen Zhaoyi wouldn't care about this small electricity bill.

Although Pei Yan was in a bad mood when she left yesterday, it didn't stop her from instructing the system to continue sending money to people.

However, after Xiaoqiu said the operation was successful, the cashback SMS from the bank did not pop up immediately.

"What? You pocketed it?"

Shen Zhaoyi waved her phone a couple of times and brought up the donation panel with a skeptical tone.

The countless daily refreshes are heartwarming to see.

The little ball felt very wronged.

[Host, this money is useless to me.]

It's just a spiritual entity, why would it need these external things?
The two began to investigate what had gone wrong, until Pei Yan's WeChat message popped up—

I'm not buying a car for now!

I've also applied for a refund of the remittance; please remember to check your account.

A big question mark flashed through Shen Zhaoyi's mind.

What's going on? Another one cutting off their source of income?
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan was there to explain things to Pei Yan.

The champion driver has been involved in a series of controversies. The race organizers are handling the matter officially and sent people down to investigate today. This large-scale transaction should be stopped if possible.

To avoid confirming those rumors.

"Fine, you guys figure it out," Shen Zhaoyi replied nonchalantly.

She was in a pretty good mood at the moment, so she decided to let go of the cash refund that had slipped through her fingers for the time being.

Pei Yan wasn't the only one who needed to buy a car.

With only two days left until Friday, Han Ziyang kept talking about starting his live stream, but every morning after finishing his driving practice, he would fall asleep as soon as it got dark.

As for the evenings, his energy wasn't as good as before. Shen Zhaoyi's initial encouragement turned into advising him not to push himself so hard, saying that a driver's license wasn't a necessity.

But the child is stubborn and inflexible.

"No way, sister, I mean what I say!"

Besides, didn't we agree to meet when school starts?

Han Ziyang hadn't forgotten this hard-won opportunity to meet.

Now, with Mu Mu by Shen Zhaoyi's side, the four men make the already cramped space feel even more crowded.

He needs to work hard for happiness in the future.

In a hurry to catch his train, Han Ziyang reiterated his determination, then put his phone in his pocket and stepped directly into the sunlight without even putting on a hat.

Sunscreen has been completely forgotten.

The chat ended, and Shen Zhaoyi looked at her phone, which was now silent, and felt a sense of unease.

Just half a month ago, it was like reviewing official documents.

Lately, apart from Su Ye, none of the men around me have been as enthusiastic as before.

Even Cheng Yubai has quieted down considerably.

After his last argument with Pei Yan, he never came to the villa again. If he didn't occasionally mention the progress of the experiment, Shen Zhaoyi would have guessed that he might have absconded with the money.

Humans are inherently contradictory.

The more you try to win them over, the more they'll complain; but once they escape your control, you'll start to miss them.

That's why playing hard to get is the best strategy for ambiguous tug-of-war.
In this respect, Shen Zhaoyi had already fallen into the trap without realizing it.

The moment she typed "I've been very busy lately" into the chat box, the course of events began to change.

Cheng Yubai was indeed unavailable.

This time he really didn't use any tricks; he just worked from the moment he opened his eyes.

The experiment is about to break through the bottleneck, and the city has begun to pay attention to it. There are frequent inspections that need to be dealt with, and even the slightest mistake could affect the subsequent development.

The entire project team was on high alert.

Even Director Zhao, who already had very little hair left, was in dire straits.

Therefore, upon seeing Shen Zhaoyi's unprecedented expression of concern, Cheng Yubai actually had a strange feeling.

That is, after hardship comes happiness.

He strode towards the rest area, tapping on the screen keyboard in response to this belated reward.

[I'm really busy.]

Cheng Yubai knew when to count his credit and when to show weakness, and ideally, he could also get some benefits in the process.

Just like now, he wouldn't be foolish enough to decline by saying he wasn't busy.

Because Shen Zhaoyi would actually believe it.

After starting the conversation, they didn't elaborate on what they were busy with.

In areas outside of expertise, too much explanation only leads to boredom.

Cheng Yubai preferred to talk about other things.

For example, the city's commendation.

Director Zhao and I have both decided that it's better to register under your name.

【Me?】 Shen Zhaoyi was somewhat tempted, but dared not accept.

After all, all I paid was money.

Little did they know that what the higher-ups needed most was someone like her who was willing to make sacrifices. When every department was complaining about not being able to cover their expenses, someone was willing to take full responsibility. Not to mention giving her a commendation, they could even hold a separate awards ceremony.

Cheng Yubai didn't explain in detail, but simply said tactfully, "Showing your face in front of these people in the city won't do you any harm."

After all, Shen Zhaoyi's businesses are all based on commerce, and she will inevitably encounter situations where money cannot be used to smooth things over in the future.

At this point, the network of contacts you've built up becomes your most powerful weapon.

For now, let's just consider this as paving the way for the future.
