Seeing Ying Lili pick up a sandwich and eat it with enthusiasm, Bai Ye judged that she was in a good mood and probably didn't encounter any bad things.
However, guessing in your mind is far less important than asking.
"Did you go shopping just now?"
"No."
Bai Ye understood that this Ying Lili had been quietly staying by the stall all morning.
Even if Akitomo wanted to find Eriri, he would not come to her stall. After all, she had warned him many times not to reveal her identity as "Kashiwagi Eriri", otherwise she would be rude to him.
"How's business? Give me an idea. I still have time to print a few more comics. They'll be delivered tomorrow."
"It's still the same, not much different from when I sold it to my mother."
"That means you've made progress—"
Bai Ye subconsciously wanted to stroke her twin ponytails, but when he put them on her head, he remembered that there was a hat in the way, so he had to pat her head as a reward.
"What progress? Don't put it on my head. It's so hot..."
"You know it's hot, but you're still wearing a hat. Besides us, no one knows you're Kashiwagi Eri, right? You don't really need to be so cautious."
"What do you, a Hentai otaku gentleman, know?" Eriri gave him a disdainful look.
"I'm trying to maintain my image at school. If someone takes my picture, won't I be annoyed to death when school starts?"

Recently I feel very sleepy at 9 o'clock in the evening, on time. Is this my body forcing me to go to bed and get up early?
Chapter 441 Eat 50% of Eriri
Eriri's worries are not unreasonable. The comic convention venue is mostly populated by young men and women, and there are so many people and so many things to say. It is 100% certain that you may not see everyone you know, but people who know you will definitely see you.
Bai Ye didn't let go, but gently patted her hat, clearly feeling the heat being squeezed out from the brim.
"You won't be worried for a while, will you?"
"Don't hurt me, bastard. Better safe than sorry, you know? You say you're a businessman, but don't you see Kasumigaoka always wearing sunglasses? It seems you haven't been through the beatings of a comic convention before."
Bai Ye chuckled. As a self-confessed otaku in Fengzhizaki Academy, he naturally didn't care about this. Besides, people would often judge you based on your greatest achievements, unless you did something bad that common sense could not tolerate.
The opposite is true for Shiwa and Eriri. Today's common sense in society still has prejudices against otaku, especially female otaku. Otherwise, Eriri would have revealed her identity as "Kashiwagi Eri", and with the financial resources and reputation of the Sawamura family, she would have been a rising star in the comic book world.
"By the way, how are my snack distributions going? Are they popular?"
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"
Looking at the other person's happy smile, Eriri really wanted to punch him, then step on him and say, "What a crappy snack, you want to steal the limelight from my comics."
In fact, the comics' limelight was indeed stolen by snacks.
"Why would those people be so excited about finding delicious snacks at a comic convention? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
After being reminded of this by Eriri, Bai Ye also understood the situation of his own snacks.
"Because putting the cart before the horse is what makes people excited! If you ask everyone to go to a candy store and find the same delicious snacks, they won't get this level of excitement."
"Not doing your job properly..." Eriri took a big bite of the fried pork cutlet.
It is indeed speechless that the limelight was overshadowed by snacks, but it is also a fact that the sales of comics have increased, which makes people feel even more depressed. What makes Eriri even more depressed is that she realized her own thoughts.
"Uh...Bai Ye..." The girl with twin ponytails hesitated in her tone, and any normal person could tell that something was wrong with her.
"What's the matter?" Bai Ye deliberately didn't look at her.
"Do you... still have... those snacks? I said we should buy... Oh, no! It's about cooperation, that's right, cooperation!"
Eriri had a flash of inspiration, as if she had been enlightened. She immediately figured out how to face Bai Ye and immediately returned to the appearance of a tsundere little princess.
"Bai Ye, look—your snacks have become popular thanks to my comics. Considering… this fried pork cutlet sandwich, it's not like I can't let you have all of it. I'll be merciful and ship some more snacks, or else the customers will laugh at your supply chain. See! I'm being nice to you, aren't I?"
Seeing that she almost believed it in the end, Bai Ye was also speechless.
“It’s not impossible to bring more.” Bai Ye took out his cell phone.
"Hurry up—" Ying Lili's eyes lit up when she saw something interesting was going on. "If we don't hurry up, the afternoon show will start soon, and we'll be late by then!"
"But..." Bai Ye paused in the chat with Mr. Miyano, pretending to be very hesitant. "These snacks are not cheap, not to mention they came all the way across the ocean. Why not just forget it?"
"Huh?!" Ying Lili was visibly deflated, like a deflated ball. She puffed up her lips and murmured in dissatisfaction, "Bai Ye, are you such a weakling that you can't even come up with this little bit..."
"I'm big in size, that's good, right?" Bai Ye straightened his waist.
If he were at home now, he would definitely let Eriri see who is the weakling.
"It's not impossible for me to bring some more snacks, but..."
"Just what?" Hearing that there was a play again, Ying Lili's pretty face turned slightly red.
Bai Ye opened his palm towards her.
"You want money?" Ying Lili raised her eyebrows.
She thought that the news of the snacks' popularity had spread throughout the comic convention through word of mouth and mouth, and it would be impossible to hide it from Bai Ye, so her eyes rolled and she came up with a good idea.
"I've given you 10 yuan, 15 yuan at most. You're responsible for the snack supply for today and tomorrow. The on-site distribution cannot stop. You'll have to fight for the opportunity to advertise for me."
"Of course you have to fight for your own opportunities, but--" Bai Ye couldn't help it. He flashed behind her and pointed his finger at her temple.
Electric drill!!
"You're so calculating, Ying Lili. You sent me at least 20 worth of goods this morning, and now you want to get something for nothing with 15. It turns out you inherited some of your aunt's brains..."
“It hurts, it hurts—let go!”
"But it seems that you are not suitable to be a businessman. It is more suitable to be a profiteer."
"Hundan Baiye, help! Someone is killing me!"
The loud commotion here attracted the attention of Shiyu and Kato Megumi, who waved their hands speechlessly.
"You guys are the boss here? If the police come and want to redeem someone, don't look for me. I can't afford to lose face."
"Bai Yejun, you need to be quiet outside. You need to go home to do the next thing. You can't do it outside."
Xiaohui, please tell me clearly what kind of things you can’t do outside!
Bai Ye let go of his hand, still opening his palm towards Ying Lili.
"How much do you want?"
"50% of the profits from this comic convention."
"50%? Why don't you just eat me whole?!" Eriri's eyes widened.
"I've eaten it. It tastes good, but there's not enough meat." Bai Ye picked his teeth.
Yinglili "..."
After kicking to vent her anger, Eriri shook her head like a rattle.
"This is my pocket money for the next six months. Instruments, pens, ink, paper, daily expenses, and travel expenses to school all come from here. Do you have the heart to eat up 50% of it?"
"I can't bear it, I really can't bear it." Bai Ye crossed his arms across his chest, fearless.
"You forgot about handing over the stall to me. Do you know the specific data? Do you know how much you have earned?"
Ying Lili was stunned, and then she remembered this.
She suddenly jumped up and pretended to strangle me.
"Bai Ye, you're not going to take advantage of this opportunity to steal my little money, are you still human?!"
"Only a fool would want to take your money." Bai Ye looked at him with disdain.
"Whether you give it or not, I've already given you free publicity for the entire morning. The influence is enough to spread the word about this comic convention."
He said it was “just a little money”, but it was actually quite a lot.
After deducting printing costs, hiring employees, and taxes, Eriri's net profit this time was at least 100 million yuan, a figure that she couldn't even match at the last comic convention, not to mention that the booth fee was paid by her aunt.
I wanted a 50% profit, which almost covered the cost, and the remaining money was just enough to pay Mr. Miyano's transportation fees.
He would rather suffer losses himself than let the girls suffer losses.
Money is just a symbol of value. Money that is not liquid cannot be considered money. He makes money so that he and his concubines can live a carefree life of luxury and have sex whenever they want in the future.
This is our original intention and we must never forget it.

Strange, why did it wake up at this time?
Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips.
Chapter 442: A Small Plan for the Bo Island Expedition
After calling Mr. Miyano to ask him to deliver the goods, Bai Ye suddenly remembered that Boshima had gone out to sea, and wondered if she had used the snacks he gave her.
Just do it!
He looked around quietly and saw that Eriri was immersed in the food and Shiyu was still whispering with Kato Megumi, so he opened the chat box of Hasima Chuhai with peace of mind.
He didn't choose to use the chat group because he wanted to tell the other party something relatively confidential.
[Are you free?]
After waiting for 1 minute, the other party replied.
[Everyone went to eat at noon, so the place was quite empty. I ate at a stall too. Senior, have you eaten yet? Senior An Yi and his brother bought me lunch and then left. Hehe~ Only then did I dare to chat with you. If Senior An Yi saw this, he would be in a lot of trouble.]
When Bai Ye saw the long string of messages she sent, he knew she was really free.
How is business?
[It seems pretty good... There's a whole community around here, so there's no way to compare. I don't really understand business, but I've sold about 20% of it. Maybe we can sell out before the convention ends?]
[Selling 20% at the opening is pretty good. Tomorrow, Saturday, is the main event. And you're still a newbie, so you need to have confidence in your painting skills.]
Bai Ye was not lying, this was based on his experience.
There are so many otakus across the country, and those who are willing to come to comic conventions are the best of the best. They generally have fixed tastes, and few of them come for "searching for tastes" like Kato Megumi.
They will hardly even look at anything that doesn't suit their taste.
Bai Ye had seen small stalls with sales of less than double digits during comic conventions, so the fact that Bodao Chukai was able to sell nearly 200 books in one morning showed that he was really capable and not just relying on the stall.
Bai Ye suddenly felt his heart surge.
It is hard not to be moved by the hardworking and outstanding, cute and beautiful Bo Shima's outing.
[What about snacks? Are they useful?]
[Well... I heard a lot of customers say that Sawamura-san's stall gives out free snacks, and they taste great. His snacks are really popular! Hehe~ I really want to bring out his snacks and surprise everyone, but Aki-san's will be even more surprising.]
Bai Ye smelled an unusual scent and realized that Hasima Chukai really wanted to distribute snacks, but was just concerned about Aki Tomoya's feelings.
Gotta find a way...
Have it.
A plan gradually emerged in Bai Ye's mind, like vitamin C connecting collagen, stringing together the fragmented thoughts.
[Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday, and there will be many more customers than today. As long as Aki-san leaves for a while, we can distribute all the snacks in one go.]
[Is it possible?]
[Yes, yes. You have no idea how popular these snacks are. Iriri must be going crazy over them. She just ordered another batch from me. Looks like they're going to make a killing.]
"Sawamura-senpai is so rich..." Hasima Chukai is well versed in advertising.
[If it really works, I'd like to use it too. I hope I can sell out all the comics...]
Bai Ye smiled slightly and did not take the initiative to mention the backup to her.
In this kind of situation, whoever takes the initiative will lose the initiative, from a love perspective.
However, when Bai Ye thought that Akitomo would interfere, he did not have much hope.
When Hajima Dekai is willing to take the initiative to refute Aki Tomoya's views, then the relationship between him and Hajima Dekai will gradually become clear.
"take it easy……"
