Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Bai Jian?

Bai Li's gaze turned slightly colder.

This cousin of mine is quite something.

When we were kids, the topic of conversation among parents was nothing more than their children's academic performance.

This cousin, because his grades were not as good as his, constantly found fault with him.

Later, he simply dropped out of school and entered society, earning some money by taking on small construction projects through family connections.

From then on, he felt superior to others and would always make sarcastic or open remarks about himself and his parents during holidays.

Putting aside the past, now that I have a system, if I let him mock me like that again, I might as well just smash his balls in myself.

"I have to go home," Bai Li said to the girls, putting away her phone.

"Huh? Big brother won't stay a little longer?" Chen Tingting looked disappointed.

"Yes, there are some things to take care of at home."

"Then you should go back quickly, brother. We didn't sleep well in the car, so we'll catch up on some sleep." Chen Tingting immediately stood up when she heard that Bai Li had something to do.

"Once you're done with your work, we'll take you out for some fun!" Li Jiaxin stood up, ready to see Bai Li off.

"We'll talk about it later. You guys should get some rest." Bai Li nodded.

He then turned and left the room.

Only then did Bai Li have time to check the system panel.

[Chen Tingting's Affection Points +20! Current Affection Points: 50 (Trust)]

[Li Jiaxin's Favorability +20! Current Favorability: 50 (Trust)]

[Lin Xiaoshuang's Affection Points +25! Current Affection Points: 55 (Trust)]

This investment of 850 yuan has triggered a 10x bonus!

[Congratulations, host, you have received a rebate of 8500 yuan!]

The phone screen lit up, followed by a text message from the bank.

[Bank XX: Your savings card account ending in 8868 has received an income of 8500.00 yuan, and your current balance is 309,950.00 yuan.]

Bai Li stood in the hallway, looking at the payment notification on her phone, a surge of pleasure welling up inside her.

In just a few minutes, he exchanged 850 yuan for 8,500 yuan in cash and a significant increase in the affections of the three girls.

This deal was incredibly profitable.

This is what a system should be like! This is what it means to get something for nothing!

Bai Li also understood the goodness of the "spirited younger sister" even more.

He remembered seeing stories online of simps treating goddesses to a Japanese meal costing over a thousand yuan, only to be swarmed by crickets afterward, let alone winning their hearts.

But in these young women in the small county town who lack both love and money, there is a certain kind of spirituality.

Let alone 850, even 50 yuan would make them extremely grateful and want to repay the favor.

This isn't some lower class; this is his gold mine!

Moreover, Lin Xiaoshuang's affection level has reached 55, just 5 points away from reaching 60 in admiration.

He began to look forward to what the node rewards would be.

As for my previous job in Shanghai, where I worked myself to the bone and only made a little over 30,000 a month?

Don't make me laugh. You already have a system. If you still want to be a beast of burden, wouldn't that be insane?

Bai Li took out her phone and opened the chat window with her boss.

Boss, you're fired unilaterally.

And after typing the message, he immediately deleted the boss from his friends list.

After doing all this, Bai Li took a deep breath and walked down the street in the county town.

The sunlight shone on him, and he felt that he had completely severed ties with his past self.

He went to a large supermarket, bought two bottles of Feitian Moutai and two cartons of Hetianxia liquor, and also picked out a set of high-end skincare products for his mother.

Finally, he hailed a taxi on the roadside and gave them his home address.

Bai Li's home is in a relatively old neighborhood. Her parents are ordinary workers who have worked diligently all their lives.

Standing at the door, Bai Li was filled with emotion. Three years had passed, and he was finally back.

Without further hesitation, he pushed open the door, and the familiar aroma of food wafted towards him.

Hearing the noise, Wang Xiulian, the mother, quickly came out of the kitchen, her face beaming with joy.

"Xiao Li is back!"

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside, isn't it?"

The house is as clean and cozy as ever.

However, the presence of a man in a mink coat on the sofa dampened the cozy atmosphere.

He crossed his legs and carelessly flicked cigarette ash onto the floor that Bai Li's mother had just mopped.

Upon seeing Bai Li, Bai Jian spoke with a forced smile, a sour tone emanating from him:

"Hey, our brilliant sage is back? After being in Shanghai for so long, are you getting used to this little place?"

Bai Li frowned and placed the several valuable items he was carrying on the table.

"You've made the ground dirty."

Bai Jian seemed not to hear, his gaze immediately fixed on the gift bag on the table.

Flying Moutai, Hetianxia cigarettes, and a set of high-end nursing products for women.

His eyes flickered, but his sarcastic tone remained unchanged:

"Wow, you've struck it rich! How much do you earn in Shanghai a month? Enough to buy all this stuff?"

"Could it be that you're trying to save face and have already spent all the money you saved in a year?"

These words immediately made Wang Xiulian's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Bai Jian picked up the sword and the sword, weighed it in his hand, and said with a sneer:

"Cousin, there are a lot of fake cigarettes here. Don't get scammed since you're new to the workforce."

"Besides, my uncle is a worker and doesn't like this kind of thing. I might as well use it to give away as gifts when I'm working on projects."

The implication is that not only did you buy a fake, but your father is also not worthy of smoking it.

Seeing that his mother was still there, Bai Li couldn't lash out for the time being.

I simply picked up the skincare set and handed it to my mother.

"Mom, this is for you."

"Oh dear, why did you buy such an expensive thing..." Wang Xiulian scolded, but the joy in her eyes was undeniable.

Just then, Bai Li's father, Bai Weiguo, also came out of the room and was taken aback when he saw the cigarettes and alcohol on the table.

"Xiao Li is back! And she bought so many nice things!"

"It was given to me by the company, so I brought it back," Bai Li replied casually.

This reason, however, was like igniting a powder keg.

"Is it issued by the company?"

Bai Jian raised his voice eight octaves, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"You're just an employee! The company would give you two boxes of apples at most, not Moutai!"

"Cousin, you're not doing anything shady outside, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Weiguo's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air, and Wang Xiulian clenched her apron in anger.

Unaware of anything amiss, Bai Jian pulled out a pack of Furongwang cigarettes and handed it to Bai Weiguo.

"Second Uncle, smoke this! We respectable businessmen smoke this. The ones Xiao Li buys are all flashy and impractical."

Bai Weiguo refused with a dark expression. He then tried to hand it to Bai Li, but Bai Li refused that as well.

Unable to save face, Bai Jian decided to direct his anger entirely at Bai Li.

"Xiao Li, I'm not trying to be mean, but what's the point of reading so many books?"

He deliberately showed off his Longines watch on his wrist, and then took out the BMW 3 Series car key and twirled it between his fingers.

"Look at me, I only graduated from junior high school, and now I manage over a dozen people, easily making 20,000 yuan a month!"

"And you? You graduated from university, worked yourself to the bone in Shanghai, and can you even make 10,000 a month? After paying rent, how many coins are left?"

"You should be more realistic and stop trying to tough it out in Shanghai!"

Bai Jian spoke with great enthusiasm, displaying an air of authority and authority.

"Why don't you come back and work for me? I'll pay you eight thousand a month, since we're family. It's better than you suffering out there!"

The air in the living room was almost frozen.

Bai Li's parents were ashen-faced, but out of consideration for their kinship, they held back their anger.

Bai Li wasn't some clay idol, and she immediately felt a surge of anger.

Even without the system, I still make 30,000 a month, which is more than him!

He raised his eyes, his deep, peach-blossom eyes filled with anger.

"I thought you made millions a month, and you only earn 20,000?"
