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

"puff!"

The three girls in the back row, who had been holding back for so long, finally broke down, and the carriage erupted in a deafening burst of laughter.

Chen Tingting laughed so hard she slapped her thigh, her red hair trembling, and she was even out of breath:

"Oh my god... Zhang Qian, is your brain filled with tofu dregs?"

"What can two zeros produce? Air?" Li Jiaxin laughed so hard she wiped away tears, while Lin Xiaoshuang clutched her stomach and groaned.

Zhang Qian, in the passenger seat, became anxious, her face turning bright red. She turned and yelled at the back seat:

"It's not zero! I haven't wasted a single penny of the money my older brother gave me; I've kept it all in there!"

She bit her lower lip, her voice suddenly lowering, tinged with a hint of grievance and stubbornness:

"I didn't touch a single penny of the New Year's money my grandma gave me."

"I'll save it... I have to save it... When I've saved enough, I'll give it to my older brother as a bride price so he can marry me."

The laughter in the carriage stopped abruptly as soon as he said that.

Bai Li paused for a moment while holding the steering wheel, then turned to look at Zhang Qian's serious, almost dazed face.

This girl...

I gave her money, but she was reluctant to spend it. She actually thought about saving it up so I could marry her?

The three girls in the back row were also dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tingting was the first to get angry, tossing her red hair and leaning forward:

"You, Zhang Qian! You've been sneaking around trying to scam us, haven't you? Fine! I won't spend it either! I'll save it all up for my brother's dowry!"

"Why should I marry you?" Li Jiaxin protested, her eyes widening beneath her purple hair. "If anyone's going to marry, it'll be me! I didn't even bother with the coloring on my tattooed legs; I saved all that money as a dowry!"

Lin Xiaoshuang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and her soft, sweet voice even cracked:

"Ugh! I'm so angry! None of you have any sense of martial ethics! My brother can't just marry you all! Either marry them all, or don't marry any of them!"

"No! You must marry me! Marry me! Marry me!!"

The three girls were making a ruckus in the back row, arguing heatedly about who should pay the bride price.

Listening to the girls' noisy chatter, Bai Li actually felt quite warm inside.

This is the spirited young woman; she doesn't get involved in those superficial schemes.

If you treat her well, she'll risk her life and her life savings to give you money.

But despite being touched, business still had to be done.

If you're not spending money, I might as well unbind this system!

While waiting at the traffic light, Bai Li took out her phone with one hand and opened the WeChat group.

"Ding-dong", "Ding-dong", "Ding-dong", "Ding-dong".

All four people's phones rang with notification sounds at the same time.

Each person transferred 10,000 yuan.

"It's nothing." Bai Li said casually, stepping on the gas and continuing on his way. "The money I gave you is for spending. Eat what you want, drink what you want, buy what you want. I don't need your dowry."

The four women stared wide-eyed at the money transfer on the screen.

"No, brother! We can't accept this money!" Chen Tingting took the lead in trying to return it: "We agreed to save it for your dowry!"

"Take it." Bai Li didn't even turn her head, her voice leaving no room for negotiation: "Not taking it would be disrespecting me. Besides, seeing you all dressed up so nicely gives me more motivation to make money, doesn't it?"

Under Bai Li's relentless verbal barrage, the four maids finally obediently accepted the payment.

A system notification sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host is Zhang Qian making purchases. Today's investment limit of 1000 yuan has been reached. Triggering a 50x cash rebate.]

[50000 yuan has been transferred to your savings account.]

Looking at the text message that popped up at the top of her phone, Bai Li felt incredibly pleased. She had spent 4 yuan and was even making a profit of 1 yuan!

Moreover, he didn't have a moment's rest during the Spring Festival holiday at his hometown.

Even if it's just buying some snacks and cigarettes for these girls, the daily investment limit of 1000 yuan is fully utilized.

Adding to the previous huge reward of ten million, the current balance in the card is exactly 1032 million.

Eight figures.

Bai Li had never fought such a rich battle before.

With this money, whether it's making web series or having other ideas, it'll be a game-changer.

……

10:00 AM.

The Panamera drove smoothly into Pingxian County and then into the Yunding Tiangong Villa District.

The car was parked in front of the private garage of Villa No. 1.

A few days ago, Bai Li received news that the renovation team had finished, and the rooms where the girls were going to stay had all been cleaned up.

I must say, this renovation team is quite adept at handling things; they even pasted a bright red Spring Festival couplet neatly on the front door, exuding a festive atmosphere.

Bai Li pushed open the car door and casually stuffed the keys into his trench coat pocket:

"Get off the bus, we're home."

The four girls crawled out of the carriage and stood in front of the villa gate, craning their necks and staring wide-eyed like copper bells.

Chen Tingting and her two friends had only heard people boast about how amazing the Cloud Palace was, but when they actually stood in front of this magnificent detached villa that covered nearly a thousand square meters, the visual impact still left them stunned.

"Holy crap..." Chen Tingting cursed, her red hair disheveled in the wind. "Big brother, this... this is way too damn awesome!"

"Don't act like a country bumpkin." Bai Li stepped forward, entered the password, and pushed open the double carved doors: "Come in and choose a room."

The interior space is ridiculously large.

The living room has a high ceiling and huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing sunlight to generously stream onto the gleaming marble floor.

After entering, Zhang Qian changed into slippers with practiced ease, went straight to the stairs, pointed to a room on the second floor, and said:

"I'm in the room upstairs."

Chen Tingting and her two companions wandered around the first floor, looking at the beautifully decorated bedrooms and cheering with joy.

"It was decorated exactly according to my ideas!" Li Jiaxin immediately pounced on a two-meter-wide bed and rolled around.

"Mine too, it's so pink and cute!" Lin Xiao's eyes sparkled as she ran over to touch the custom-made wardrobe.

Bai Li leaned against the stair railing, looked at the group of crazy girls, and casually explained the floor assignments.

"These rooms on the first floor were all decorated according to your specifications."

"I sleep in the master bedroom on the second floor. The room opposite mine is Zhang Qian's, and the other room is a separate office. The third floor is currently empty, and there is an indoor swimming pool and gym on the fourth floor, feel free to use them."

After listening, Lin Xiaoshuang started counting on her fingers.

"Big brother, this house is way too big!" Lin Xiaoshuang tilted her head back, analyzing the situation with a serious expression.

"Even if the five of us live here, the third floor is completely empty, and the fourth floor is also empty. We don't even hear an echo."

"I reckon this place is big enough to house nine people!"

Upon hearing the number, Bai Li immediately pictured Li Mengmeng in her soft JK skirt and Jiang Ruyue as a cool, aloof campus beauty.

Nine? Hmm, even with those two, we're still two short.

Bai Li replied nervously, "Okay, I'll try my best then."

Lin Xiaoshuang scratched her head of blond hair, looking somewhat bewildered.

What effort?

She just wanted to say that the house was too spacious and that buying so much furniture was a waste.

So, does the eldest brother mean to try to find four more people to move in and make it nine?

No, no, I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, I'll really start to develop a brain, and I'll only end up hurting myself.

The main characteristic of this "spirited young lady" is that she's carefree and heartless.

"Ahem, it's nothing." Seeing her conflicted look, Bai Li quickly changed the subject.

At this moment, Chen Tingting poked her red head out from the first floor, glanced at Zhang Qian who was tidying up the sofa for Bai Li on the second floor, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Huh?" Chen Tingting nudged Li Jiaxin's arm and lowered her voice, "Have you noticed how familiar Zhang Qian is with this place? She even knows which room faces south. Has she been here before?"

Li Jiaxin followed the gaze, tossed her purple hair, and said casually:

"Who cares? I bet my brother brought her here for some shady business before. Anyway, we have a place to stay now, that's all that matters!"

For them, having a luxurious and stable home, and being able to live with their beloved older brother, is the greatest happiness.

As for who went first and who slept with the older brother more often, that's completely unimportant.

Four maids ran downstairs and downstairs, each of them hugging Bai Li and taking a bite, leaving their faces covered in drool.

"Big brother, let's go back to our rooms to change into our pajamas and take a shower. You just wait for us obediently in the living room!" Lin Xiaoshuang winked and followed her sisters, chattering away as they went into their respective rooms.

The living room quieted down.

Bai Li let out a long breath, and just as he sat down on the leather sofa, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

When I took it out, two WeChat messages popped up on the screen at the same time.

Li Mengmeng: [Brother Bai Li~ Have you returned to the city? I'm wearing my new white stockings and waiting for you at home. I miss you so much~ (rolling around like a cat.gif)]

Jiang Ruyue: [Where are you, you big slut? o.0]

Looking at these two messages with such different styles, Bai Li was completely overwhelmed.

One is the straightforward temptation of a legal loli, and the other is the arrogant demands of a cold and aloof white moonlight.

With these two excellent pieces of meat in front of me, deciding which one to accept is the question.

What's worse, there were four young women living in the villa.

If they find out that I'm about to go out and plant seeds as soon as I get back, I won't be leaving the house today.

Bai Li hesitated for less than three seconds on the sofa before decisively getting up.

We need to slip away first.

Whether it's going for tutoring or looking at white stockings, you can only make a choice if you can get out of there first.

Thinking of this, Bai Li returned to his room, changed into a beige coat, and straightened his collar.

Then he tiptoed out of the room.

well.

Zhang Qian's door was tightly shut, and there was no sound.

Bai Li followed the stairs to the first floor, where all three girls' doors were tightly closed.

Safety.

Bai Li took a long stride and slipped to the entrance, reaching out to grasp the doorknob, ready to pull it open.

A faint sound suddenly came from behind.

"Big brother..."

The voice was cold and devoid of any of the sweetness from before.

The hairs on Bai Li's back stood on end.

He turned his head.

Four people were standing at the corner leading to the first-floor corridor.

Four people, four pairs of eyes, stared intently at Bai Li, who was preparing to flee.

"Big brother, you've just gotten home and haven't even finished unpacking. Where are you headed?" Chen Tingting walked over with her arms crossed, her tongue barely visible between her lips.

"And you've changed into such a handsome outfit?" Li Jiaxin leaned closer to smell him, her eyes beneath her purple hair filled with scrutiny.

Zhang Qian bit her finger, looking aggrieved: "Aren't our four pajamas pretty enough?"

Lin Xiaoshuang blocked the gate, hands on her hips, angrily demanding, "Tell me the truth! Is some shameless vixen outside, thirsty and horny, applying for training with Big Brother?!"
