At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

In the elegantly understated private room, Gu Yu glanced over the contract before promptly signing his name at the end.

"Mr. Gu, it was very pleasant discussing this with you!"

"Likewise."

The store manager stood up and extended her hand, and Gu Yu shook it with a smile.

Just moments ago, the Diro store manager had agreed with him on the renewed lease and rental fees.

As for these matters, Gu Yu actually didn't have a clue, but fortunately, the system handled everything well, so there was hardly any need for him to worry.

Even the agreed rental fee and lease duration had been printed on the contract beforehand.

The lease was for two years, the rent six hundred thousand, deposit sixty thousand, totalling six hundred sixty thousand!

"The rental payment should reach your account in about two hours, please wait patiently!"

Each held onto a copy of the contract, the store manager carefully stored hers away, and Gu Yu did the same.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually incredibly excited inside!

That was six hundred sixty thousand! It would be transferred to his account any moment now!

He was about to strike it rich!

Lunch called for a good meal!

Hotpot! Fatty beef!

Elated, Gu Yu was already planning what to eat for his upcoming meal!

But the next second, he felt like slapping himself...

Damn, what a small pattern! Gu Yu, is your pattern really that limited?

Was your imagination constrained by your previous poverty?

What the hell is hotpot?

Hurry up and open Dou Ying to search for videos on restaurant explorations, and get a feast that costs tens of thousands!

Gu Yu lowered his head, lost in thoughts about what to have for lunch as he walked out of the private room.

When he looked up, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him.

"All done?"

Lin Xinyue blinked her eyes, a playful yet teasing smile on her face as she gazed at Gu Yu.

"Yeah, yeah! All done! There wasn't much for me to handle anyway."

Gu Yu quickly nodded, but for some reason, he felt unnerved under Lin Xinyue's intense gaze.

The fact that he had the system couldn't be exposed!

"Then I should get going! I'm going to pay my bill!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinyue didn't ask anything; instead, she gently hooked her arm through Gu Yu's and headed toward the cash register.

"Ma'am, your items have been packed. Will you be using online payment or cash?"

Seeing the customers approach, the cashier's face naturally lit up with a smile.

"Online payment, oh right! I'm a platinum member, do I get any new product samples?"

Lin Xinyue first took out her phone from her pocket, ready to make the payment, then she seemed to remember something. She rummaged through her handbag, pulling out a white card with a black Dior logo and handed it to the cashier.

"Yes! We have a new fragrance about to launch, and we can give you a sample for free!"

The cashier checked the card information, and her smile broadened even more.

A platinum member, a valued customer with an annual spending of twenty-five thousand!

If she left a good impression, she would surely bring in revenue for their store in the future!

"Great, then please give me a sample."

"Certainly!"

The sales associate turned around to take a sample fragrance from the cabinet dedicated to promotional items.

However, the store manager came over and stopped the cashier. Without showing any sign, she picked up a silver, semi-transparent fragrance from the display shelf, quickly boxed it up in an elegant package, and slid it into the shopping bag with the lip gloss.

"Miss, a sample won't last you very long. I'll use my manager's privilege to gift you a full-sized bottle of our new Blooming Sweetheart fragrance! Consider it making a friend, and please do come back often!"

"Is that really okay?"

Lin Xinyue was taken aback, taking back her platinum membership card.

Looking at the fragrance in the gift bag, which was worth the same as her lip gloss, she was momentarily at a loss.

But the next second, she saw that the store manager's gaze wasn't actually on her; while talking about making friends, her eyes continued to sneak glances at Gu Yu's face.

She instantly understood!

The store manager had utilized the gift-giving privileges considering Gu Yu's face!

As a girlfriend, Lin Xinyue's instincts kicked in with a surge of wariness.

As expected, the shop manager continued, "Our brand needs to collaborate with Mr. Gu for a long time!"

Gu Yu subconsciously nodded, long-term collaborations were definitely good!

A year's rent was three hundred thousand!

Long-term collaboration was akin to collecting rent long-term!

Being a landlord felt really great~ No need to work, and money was delivered right to you~

Seeing Gu Yu nod, the shop manager's face lit up with a smile, her voice coy and gentle as she seized the moment, "Since we're friends, I hope Mr. Gu will come and visit more often~"

As she spoke, she threw a flirtatious glance at Gu Yu without him noticing.

Gazing at such a young and wealthy handsome man, the shop manager couldn't deny she was moved!

Although she was the manager, her annual income probably wasn't as high as Gu Yu's rent!

Moreover, she was interested in more than just the overt wealth of Gu Yu.

What caught her attention was that a twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old university student could own a shop on a bustling commercial street!

Then the family background of this university student Gu Yu must be extraordinary!

She was thirty and unmarried, partly because she felt that men of her age couldn't match her income, and partly because as a designer brand shop manager, she had seen too many high-society individuals, which set her standards quite high!

Having seen the extravagant lifestyles of Modu's wealthy, she had completely fallen for the city of Modu!

She wasn't a local from Modu, but she wanted to stay here!

It was difficult, but there were shortcuts.

Although Gu Yu had a girlfriend, she didn't think her charm as a mature woman was less than that of a pretty female university student.

As long as she got to interact with Gu Yu often, she refused to believe that such a naïve student wouldn't be moved~

But Gu Yu was far more oblivious than she had imagined.

Gu Yu only saw the female shop manager wink at him and thought her false eyelashes were too long and poking her eyes!

He didn't take it to heart at all.

"Uh... I think, besides coming to collect rent, there's really no need for me to come by regularly, right?"

Gu Yu spoke quickly.

Female shop manager: "..."

Lin Xinyue: "..."

Lin Xinyue had been on guard against the shop manager making a move on Gu Yu, but now she was completely relieved.

Gu Yu was simply a straightforward guy!

No, that wasn't quite right, he was only straightforward with others! But with her, he was still very attentive and gentle!

The three-line love poem was still tucked in her book!

Wuwuwu! A boy who's tough on the outside and soft on the inside, she simply adored him!

Her heart brimmed with a sense of security~

Gu Yu was unaware that a confrontation about to erupt had been squashed by his mention of rent.

"Thank you for the fragrance gift!"

Lin Xinyue picked up her gift bag, looped her arm through Gu Yu's, and flashed a grin at the shop manager, her smile carrying an inexplicably challenging air.

The shop manager could only return a bitter smile, having not officially started competing with Lin Xinyue for Gu Yu and already losing!

All she could do was silently criticize in her heart that Gu Yu was just a kid who knew nothing about romance.

Gu Yu failed to notice the change in the women's smiles, still basking in the joy of sudden wealth!

Walking out of the Dior boutique with his girlfriend, arm in arm.

"Where to for lunch? Shall we go to Hai Shang Lao?"

"No~ too oily~ and expensive too!"

Lin Xinyue pouted like she was pouting her lips and shook her head.

"Not expensive, not expensive! I have money!"

"No! You've already spent a lot today!"

"Just three hundred bucks though!"

"Gu Yu! Have you lost it? Three hundred bucks isn't money?"

Looking at Lin Xinyue's stubborn face, which had the air of a thrifty housewife.

Gu Yu: "..."

Seeing him not respond, Lin Xinyue proudly said, "Just let me make the plans for noon!"

"Alright~"

Gu Yu could only helplessly shrug.
