Chapter 1321: Chapter 585: The Perpetrator Truly Had Their Reasons This Time_2

"Which supermarket is it?"

"I asked him that as well, but he’s guarding it like a fortress, never telling. He said Xiling’s brutes are too many and worries someone might come and torment him, making an already painful job even worse." Bai Bufan shrugged helplessly.

"Oh, Xiling people are that bad, huh? Good thing I’m not one of them."

Lin Li almost thought they were naming him directly to insult him.

"..."

Three seconds of silence.

"Has he sent any work photos? Maybe I can find clues to locate this supermarket and then go torment him." The more Lin Li thought about it, the less he wanted to let it go.

"Hahaha—there should be. You check your chat records yourself," Bai Bufan laughed, then clicked his tongue and said, "But, with you guys showing off and earning money every day, I’m feeling tempted to get a winter part-time job myself, but my mom won’t allow it."

"Why wouldn’t she allow it?" Lin Li glanced at Bai Bufan.

A kid wanting to work, taking the initiative to do so, isn’t that pretty good?

"She said losing a fight would be fine, but if I got beaten to death or crippled, she’ll pretend I’m not her son. She’s just afraid I’d win, and she’d have to pay hefty medical bills." Bai Bufan sighed, his expression a bit sad.

"Hmm—you seem like the kind of person who’d say, ’Who the hell said hitting customer service will solve the issue through negotiation? I hit them and ended up in jail, you know?’" Lin Li pursed his lips, made a long nasal sound, and ultimately gave a thumbs-up earnestly.

Bai Bufan: "Who the hell said hitting customer service will solve the issue through negotiation? I hit them and ended up in jail, you know."

The kid might be naive, but he listens to reason, so Lin Li raised two thumbs showing even more praise.

"At least keep one hand on the steering wheel, Lin Li! My new account, don’t mess around!!"

"However, actually, I’ve started making money too," As Lin Li’s hands returned to the steering wheel, Bai Bufan enthusiastically took out his phone, "Lin Li, look, Tonghuashun!"

"Oh, today’s the eighth, the market is indeed open, so what, are you back lurking in stock groups snatching red packets?"

Review of knowledge points—Bai Bufan is a master of stock trading. He possesses the secret to guaranteed victories.

"First, you need to join various investor groups, diligently learning stock trading knowledge, gaining various insider tips."

"Congratulate group members when their stocks hit the upper limit, prompting them to celebrate with red packets; comfort them when their stocks hit the lower limit, prompting them to send turnaround red packets."

"No, this time I’ve personally jumped in," Bai Bufan waved his hand:

"My mom doesn’t have any expectations for me; thankfully, my dad is still humane.

This is my dad’s account. He said I’m allowed to experiment during the winter holiday. After some analysis together, I used my lucky money to buy this stock, not much, just three hands, bought it at 12.5. Today’s market opened, it rose to a high of 13.1 in the morning, closing at 12.9 at noon. Based on this, I’ve already made 120 bucks, but I can’t sell today since I just bought it. Otherwise, I would have secured it by now. No idea if it’ll keep rising in the afternoon."

"You’re really getting into it, how soon before you fast-forward to the chilling wind on Teacher Xue’s rooftop, feeling scared?" Lin Li didn’t think much of it, just teasing.

"That wouldn’t happen, it’s just lucky money, with some sponsorship from my dad. Even if I lose it all... No way, just thinking about it makes my heartache... Can’t lose! Damn it! If it hits the lower limit, I’ll jump off a building!"

Bai Bufan exhibited his risk preferences very well.

"Then you don’t need to rush to jump, Bufan. Remember, motorbike warrior fighter has backup hidden energy sources, and you are the same. Besides the stocks in your account, there’s another stock behind you that you can always turn to Wang Ze for cash."

"That’s the butt."

"Close enough. Anyway, Wang Ze says it can be used as a POS machine, swipe a card through the gap, and valuable gold sprays out in spurts."

"666 and still don’t wear."

...

"Wanqiu, did you watch the episode released this morning?" Ding Sihan greeted Qu Wanqiu eagerly as soon as she got in the car, remembering the main topic before stopping herself—she first asked Lin Li: "Lin Li, you know where to head, right?"

"I know, don’t worry, won’t drive wrong."

Ding Sihan asked this because they were heading in a direction rather unfamiliar to all compared to the Zhongxing Building.

Mainly, Chen Yu Ying’s family considered that hosting four people in the building’s suite might be somewhat restrictive. So upon learning everyone was visiting to play today, they decided to switch their gathering spot to their villa, which is relatively less occupied.

Previously, Chen Yu Ying once mentioned to Lin Li that he could use the villa with a swimming pool during his so-called "swimming for body training."

"Alright then," Ding Sihan nodded, then hesitated before speaking again: "We’re paying a New Year visit, should we bring something, right? Uncle and Auntie will definitely give us red packets. Yu Ying said we should just accept them, but shouldn’t we at least bring something over?"

"Oh, this has been considered," Lin Li pointed his thumb backward, "but preparing a separate gift from each of us is unnecessary. Uncle and Auntie aren’t exactly short of these; we should gesture our hearts. So, the four of us prepared a shared small New Year gift that’s already in the trunk."

Ding Sihan squinted: "I saw it but need to check it first. Otherwise, I won’t have the courage to say it includes my sentiment too."

Ding Sihan actually noticed the New Year gift earlier.

Why did she ask even though she saw it?

Answer: Ding Sihan suspected Lin Li might deliberately hide the fact and, upon reaching Chen Yu Ying’s home, suddenly take out the New Year gift from the trunk, offering it obsequiously and making the unprepared other three dumbfounded.

—Folks, this is definitely something Lin Li would do.

But unexpectedly, he admitted so quickly this time.

So... be extra careful now!

Something’s fishy!

"Indeed." Qu Wanqiu and Bai Bufan agreed.

Lin Li pondered: "Actually, it was Bai Bufan who prepared it, is that reassuring enough now?"

Ding Sihan: "Same thing, first view, what dogs like, people may not."

"Indeed." Qu Wanqiu and Bai Bufan agreed.

Lin Li smiled: "Don’t worry, I didn’t prepare it. Yesterday, the class monitor visited my home; auntie took the opportunity to get them to bring a New Year gift to my house. My share is considered prepared by my mom."

Ding Sihan remained silent briefly: "...I still want to check first."

Lin Li: "..."

Hey Dingzi, you—

How come mentioning Wu Min’s name doesn’t work anymore?

To know, Ding Sihan has practically never spoken with Wu Min!

Does this mean Wu Min’s initial credit score with Ding Sihan is zero?

Lin Li felt he might have found the reason for his bad reputation; it turns out he was affected by Wu Min.

Sigh, this is truly a case of inherited debt.

"Well, check it yourself; it’s right behind your seat." The minority obeys the majority, situation over people, Lin Li had to signal.

The space from the back seat to the trunk is connected, so no need to park. Ding Sihan reached back, carefully retrieving a bulky bag with her short hands and opened it.

Checked.

"Ha," After three seconds of silence, she chuckled, with a serene smile and a peculiar tone as she looked at Lin Li: "Lin Li, three cans of China, six kilos of tea?"

Doesn’t sound right, hearing this, Qu Wanqiu leaned forward, then fell silent too.

—Three packs of China toothpaste, a 1.5L bottle of Kangshifu iced black tea, and a 1.5L bottle of Uni-President green tea.

Then she cast a resentful glance at Lin Li.

Truly ridiculous... Was the goal to embarrass us all together...

"Uh, this time that’s a bit of a misunderstanding, not this," Lin Li immediately denied, though he could barely hold back himself: "There’s another more formal bag, the one you have is the New Year gift I prepared for Old Jian. Take a look, there should be another one standing beside it."

Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu: "?"

For Xue Jian?

Oh oh, then it’s alright.
