Zhang Zhixu spit out the preserved plum ribs from his mouth.
"Working to make money?"
Liu Yu chid in, thinking that soone like Lin Baici, without the capital to start a business, could only be working a job.
"Not necessarily, not necessarily. Old White’s videos reciting scriptures on Bilibili are now like a wishing pond, with the highest collection on the site. Just looking at the click rate alone each month should bring quite a bit of money!"
Xu Daguan was knowledgeable.
"How much do you earn each month?"
Chen Kaiwei was curious: "Old White, tell us!"
"I haven’t looked!"
Lin Baici had long given up on being an UP master, and hadn’t been on Bilibili for a long ti.
"Old White, being dishonest, should we make you drink as punishnt?"
Xu Daguan couldn’t hold himself back: "Punish with a drink, and we won’t ask again!"
Money matters, who wouldn’t care?
So he thought it was just Lin Baici not wanting to say.
Xu Daguan couldn’t imagine that Lin Baici had too much money, with an annual salary of 1.2 billion, earning like top sports stars and Oscar-winning actors.
He had truly forgotten about the revenue from Bilibili.
No way, with no ti to spend money, where’s the ti to calculate inco?
Anyway, the money can’t be spent.
Lin Baici hadn’t said a word yet, when Bai Jiao spoke up: "Xu Daguan, you’re at it again!"
"My fault!"
Xu Daguan quickly admitted his mistake.
Damn,
Bai Jiao protecting Lin Baici like this, could she be interested in him?
"Working!"
Lin Baici smiled faintly.
"What kind of work?"
Liu Yu probed further, more curious about how much Lin Baici could earn.
"With your physical condition, you should shoot short videos. You’ll definitely beco a hit. Want to partner up with ?"
Xu Daguan was still thinking about cashing in on Lin Baici’s looks.
"Not interested!"
Lin Baici shook his head.
"Co on, you’re wasting your talent. If I had your looks and physique, I’d damn well lick the director’s boots to get into the entertainnt industry!"
Xu Daguan lanted his lack of ambition: "As long as there’s a chance, you’d definitely beco a hit!"
Zhang Zhixu and Chen Kaiwei had seen a mature woman driving a Cullinan take Lin Baici away before, and they thought Lin Baici might have better ways to make money.
"Senior Monitor, Jade, Sports Committee mber, let’s go, help move the cake!"
A ssage ca in, and Ji Xinyan got up, calling a few class leaders.
"How big is the cake, needing so many people to move it?"
Xu Daguan was curious: "Let take a look!"
Everyone followed Ji Xinyan outside, and after waiting a few minutes, an MPV drove over.
A middle-aged man got out, spoke a few words with Ji Xinyan, opened the car door, and inside was a large box containing a five-tier cake tower, over a ter tall.
"Wow, such a big one?"
Jade blurted out: "Can it be finished?"
"Are you looking down on these growing young lads?"
Ji Xinyan teased: "Quickly, let’s move it!"
"You little ones, follow !"
Xu Daguan called to everyone.
"Careful, don’t drop it!"
Jade was worried and guarded from the side.
"You ordered it?"
Lin Baici watched Xu Daguan and the others move the cake, not bothering to help, thinking Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu wouldn’t have ordered such a lavish cake.
"Hehe, beautiful, right?"
Ji Xinyan leaned close to Lin Baici’s ear: "The day of your housewarming party, I wanted to order a cake tower too, but it definitely wouldn’t be finished. I figured you might think it wasteful, so I didn’t order it!"
The cake was so large that the owner himself drove over to deliver it.
"Don’t let Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu feel any resentnt!"
Lin Baici was worried that sotis spending money isn’t necessarily a good thing.
"Don’t worry!"
Ji Xinyan assured: "I understand!"
The cake tower was moved into the private room by Xu Daguan and Fang Mingyuan, which amazed everyone.
"This is too big!"
"Gosh, I’ve lived for twenty years, and this is the first ti I’ve seen such a big cake!"
"The decoration is quite nice, I feel I can’t bear to eat it."
"Nonsense, your tears are unashadly dripping from your mouth corner!"
Everyone laughed and joked.
"Quick, clear so dishes, make room!"
Xu Daguan urged.
Everyone was bustling around, the cake tower was placed on the table, looking impressive.
Click! Click!
Not only the girls but even the boys were taking photos.
"Xin Yan, did you pay for this cake too?"
Bai Jiao frowned.
There’s always a cake for birthdays, and Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu planned to order one. However, Ji Xinyan said, how could you let the Birthday Princess order her own cake?
But on the classmates’ end, they should have already bought gifts. It wouldn’t be appropriate to have them order a cake, so Ji Xinyan decided to have the class committee contribute money.
However, such a big cake, I doubt the committee fully covered it either.
"The committee did chip in, but the bulk was from the class monitor!"
Ji Xinyan explained.
Bai Jiao looked at Lin Baici, pondering his thoughts, while Liu Zilu, without much thought, blew a flying kiss towards Lin Baici.
"Senior Monitor, I’ll rember this birthday for the rest of my life!"
Liu Zilu was so excited; if it weren’t for the crowd, she would have hugged Lin Baici and given him a kiss.
Lin Baici frowned slightly, completely unaware of this; it was evident that Tea sister had made the decision for him.
"Too expensive!"
Bai Jiao shook her head: "Not appropriate!"
"Oh co on, look, Ruru didn’t say anything!"
Ji Xinyan persuaded: "Just enjoy your food, Lin Baici’s family isn’t poor, they can afford such a cake."
Bai Jiao glanced at Ji Xinyan, wondering why she seed so familiar with him?
"From now on, for everyone’s birthday, the cake will be covered by the Senior Monitor, since he’s always skipping classes; he should make up for it!"
Ji Xinyan announced.
Everyone imdiately started clapping, the boys hooting, while the girls fantasized about having such a big cake on their own birthdays. What would it feel like?
It must be very romantic, right?
"Old White, you must have so side business!"
Xu Daguan recalled that mature rich lady in a luxury car and cheongsam, envying to the point of wilting.
Seeing Bai Jiao wanting to speak, Lin Baici quickly stopped her: "Today is a happy day for the two princesses; let’s not say anything that spoils the mood or do anything upsetting!"
"Co on, candles are ready, princesses, ti to cut the cake!"
Lin Baici instructed.
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Daguan called out: "Let’s take a group photo first!"
"Hey, if it weren’t for knowing you didn’t want to show your faces, I’d really want to livestream. Our class atmosphere would definitely make my online friends green with envy!"
The idea was great, and everyone imdiately started getting into it.
Moving tables, arranging positions.
Girls in front, boys in the back, with the large cake at the very front.
Click!
As the shutter clicked, the joy of that mont was captured in the cara.
The atmosphere was lively. Then Bai Jiao and Liu Zilu made a wish, blew out the candles together, and together wielded the huge knife to cut the cake.
The first piece, and the best piece, was cut and placed on a plate.
"Ruru, this is for the Senior Monitor, you don’t mind, right?"
Bai Jiao suggested.
"No!"
Liu Zilu felt like crying; she originally wanted to say the sa, but Bai Jiao beat her to it.
"Senior Monitor!"
Bai Jiao stuck a little fork in the cake and handed it over with both hands: "Here you go!"
"No way you want to eat the first piece?"
Lin Baici refused.
Bai Jiao said nothing, directly picked up the little fork, stabbed a piece, and offered it to Lin Baici’s lips.
"Wow!"
Zhang Zhixu cheered.
Nobody expected Bai Jiao to make such a move, but everyone started to make a fuss.
This atmosphere was starting to feel like a confession.
Bai Jiao’s face turned red; this cake was certainly not cheap, so she thought the first piece should go to Lin Baici. Only after making the motion did she realize it was too ambiguous.
"Thanks!"
Lin Baici ate the cake.
If he didn’t eat it, everyone would be left standing there like monkeys watched by the crowd.
Speaking of which, Bai Jiao’s skin is fair, and when her face blushed, even her earlobes and long graceful neck flushed red, a bit alluring.
After the cake and birthday al, Xu Daguan checked the ti, past 6 o’clock, and called on everyone to move to the karaoke bar.
"There’s still a big event tonight, everyone who can, should go!"
Xu Daguan glanced around.
Everyone knew there was another gathering tonight, so they controlled themselves and didn’t drink too much.
Lin Baici drank the most, but seed just fine, whereas Liu Yu was getting sowhat tipsy.
"Your alcohol tolerance is that low?"
Xu Daguan frowned: "Can you still make it?"
"Yes!"
Liu Yu didn’t want to miss a chance for free food and drinks.
Everyone moved to Red Moon Bay KTV, and under the guidance of the lead, went to the pre-booked private room and started singing.
Chen Kaiwei was drinking beer. Around seven, he suddenly received a WeChat ssage.
Brother Wei: So how is it? Is Bai Jiao in high spirits?
Chen Kaiwei: She’s quite happy, but I think it’s better you don’t co.
Chen Kaiwei felt today’s atmosphere was quite good, and if Wei Xin ca, it would most likely be ruined.
Brother Wei: I’ve prepared for more than half a month for today, and you tell not to co?
Brother Wei: Don’t worry, I know my boundaries.
Chen Kaiwei looked up, glanced at Lin Baici and Qian Jiahui, and sent another ssage to Brother Wei.
Chen Kaiwei: Just be careful, don’t ss things up!
He originally wanted to say if you get beaten up, don’t bla for not warning you, but after so thought, he deleted the line.
