From Xia Lin's perspective, Su Bai had a distinct virtue: when he sent messages, he always used the most concise language to describe the matter at hand.
He didn't beat around the bush, and he certainly never sent messages just asking, "Are you there?"
Getting straight to the point was good etiquette.
Communication skills vary wildly from person to person, and Su Bai belonged to the type that was very refreshing and easy to get along with.
[Summer Lin: What's up? Suddenly interested in the fashion industry?]
[Crispy White Goose: It's okay, mostly I just want to make clothes for them. I want to hire a designer to bring the ideas in my head to life.]
[Summer Lin: Is that so? I'm surprised!]
[Crispy White Goose: (Sticker: Big White Goose Lying Down)]
[Crispy White Goose: Is it that strange?]
[Summer Lin: Not really. I just think it's rare to have that kind of thoughtfulness. After all, most guys with conditions similar to yours would just throw money at the girls and tell them to buy luxury goods.]
[Summer Lin: Little Brother Su Bai really understands a woman's heart~]
Haha, so he understood a woman's heart?
Su Bai thought about it. It seemed there was nothing wrong with that statement. For girls who loved to dress up beautifully, being able to wear clothes custom-made for them did indeed carry a rare romantic touch.
However, Su Bai's starting point was his own selfishness.
Forget it. Since Xia Lin was willing to interpret it in a sophisticated direction, Su Bai couldn't be bothered to explain.
[Crispy White Goose: So, what is Sister Lin's suggestion?]
[Summer Lin: If money isn't an issue for you, acquiring a complete set of qualifications would definitely be best.]
[Summer Lin: I'll ask some friends in the industry for you tomorrow and let you know then.]
[Summer Lin: Going to sleep now.]
[Crispy White Goose: Goodnight, Sister Lin.]
The car arrived at the destination. It was the same Villa Hotpot place where he had first brought Chen Yusheng. The Wan sisters were also quite interested in this place, and since they had been out having fun for a while tonight, they were hungry, so he brought them here for a meal.
"It's so late, yet there are still quite a few people eating..."
Wan Xinyan clicked her tongue, looking around the interior of the restaurant with excitement.
Hotpot was a very common thing in their hometown, but hotpot that cost several hundred or even a thousand per person on average was a different story.
At this price point, it wasn't just about the taste anymore; it was about the ingredients and the service. In short, it was about some rather metaphysical emotional value...
However, with Su Bai's financial strength, he could completely ignore this premium.
Rumor had it that when Su Bai and Chen Yusheng first started brewing their ambiguous romance, they ate here. This was one of the reasons Wan Xinyan wanted to come. You could say it was a girl's strange little psychology of jealousy—what other sisters had, she wanted too.
Hmph.
Wan Xinyan had many little schemes. They were gentle and harmless, but if you looked closely, they were quite amusing.
For example, Wan Xinyan noticed that the new girl Su Bai met tonight was actually... actually bigger than them!
If they didn't count this new girl, within Su Bai's lineup of female confidantes, the Wan sisters actually had the most substantial assets. They were even slightly bigger than Zhou Jialu... well, to be accurate, they were all D-cups, making it hard to distinguish between them.
However, the Wan sisters had petite frames, so the visual effect by contrast was more exaggerated.
This was their unique advantage. Yet, Su Bai had now found someone even bigger, which inevitably aroused Wan Xinyan's sense of crisis.
Boohoo, what if Su Bai became obsessed with the new member's huge assets and they gradually fell out of favor? What should they do then?
That was why Wan Xinyan had asked her sister to beat around the bush and ask what the deal was with that girl.
While ordering food, the Wan sisters whispered to each other, and Wan Xinyue shared the information she had obtained with her sister.
Now she understood.
A fashion designer...
Wan Xinyan's mouth twitched. This actually made her even more vigilant. If she were just a pure vase—pretty but useless—there wouldn't be much to worry about. But Lu Yuning was an existence that possessed both talent and substantial capital.
Fine then. Ultimately, she couldn't sabotage the other confidantes. The only thing Wan Xinyan could do was improve herself!
Her ambition was ignited.
On second thought, Wan Xinyan realized it wasn't that hard to compete. After all, their assets were only one of their advantages. What was truly irreplaceable was the characteristic and convenience of being twins.
Thinking of this, she leaned close to Su Bai and asked in an extremely seductive, soft voice, "Brother Su Bai, later when we finish eating and go home, if they are all asleep, then... shall we sleep together?"
"Sure, no problem," Su Bai agreed readily. This was a very standard option. After eating hotpot, Su Bai inevitably needed to exercise a bit before sleeping. There was no need to wake up those who were already asleep.
This was the utility of having depth in the lineup; he could find entertainment anytime, anywhere.
And twins, well, they indeed had a unique flavor.
"By the way, Brother Su Bai, I heard from Yueyue that you just met an impressive fashion designer. We want to see her work."
"I was just planning to show you. Here, she sent some photos to my WeChat. Let's admire them together..."
Honestly speaking, these designs were basically bordering on the category of erotic lingerie.
Su Bai had never imagined before that one day he would be able to admire this kind of explicit content with other girls.
If an ordinary person did this, they would definitely be cursed out as a creep, right?
However, the Wan sisters watched with great relish.
"I'm going to buy a company with a foundation in fashion design and production. When the time comes, whatever we want to wear, we can just get Lu Yuning to sort it out," Su Bai laughed. "Isn't that more satisfying than ordering luxury goods?"
"Really!" Wan Xinyan exclaimed. "But buying all that must be very expensive..."
"It should be fine. After all, clothing is considered a sunset industry. There are plenty of bosses looking to sell. Plus, we're using it for ourselves. The factory just needs to take a few orders to sustain the workers; we don't need to consider how much profit to make. Losing a little on operations is fine too. Looking at it this way, the range of choices is very broad."
Although Su Bai had asked Xia Lin to look into the situation, he had his own thoughts as well.
His skills in finance and business management weren't just for show.
Su Bai discovered that thinking about these strategic-level things was actually quite enjoyable, provided he didn't have to do the hands-on work himself and could just purely direct things from above.
Perhaps this was the joy of being a big boss.
Listening to Su Bai discuss his plans so seriously, Wan Xinyan felt much more relieved. Hmm, how should she put it? She felt that Brother Su Bai was considering things more from a holistic perspective, improving the quality of life for the entire group of confidantes, and satisfying his own fetishes. It wasn't necessarily that he was all that interested in Lu Yuning herself.
"Okay! In the future, whatever Brother Su Bai wants us to wear, we will satisfy Brother Su Bai. Hee hee~ We will be Brother Su Bai's ever-changing maids forever!"
"You bet. We're talking proprietary maids here."
Su Bai had long wanted to try some very outrageous designs, but unfortunately, they couldn't be found on the market at all.
Now, he could absolutely fulfill that dream.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
