These days, if you don't manage the household, you won't know the cost of firewood and rice. After almost a month of hard work earning money from the stock market, nearly half of it was gone in an instant. If you consider Old Su's five thousand, it's like he's almost back to square one.

Luckily, he doesn't have big money on hand right now, but he's not short of small change. Recently, the profits from the stock market have been quick, and along with his principal amount, he still has tens of thousands.

Even though it's still a critical time for money to make more money, he understands that without a bull market and significant fluctuations, the current amount he has won't make much difference in the short term. It can only accumulate slowly.

But he's not worried, after all, there's a ten thousand reward on the way, which should arrive soon. Once it does, along with his existing principal, he can put over a hundred and fifty thousand into the stock market for operations.

With a narrative supporting him, he might earn a little, but he definitely won't lose. And once his principal accumulates, the speed of earning will greatly improve; he could reach several hundred thousand, maybe even millions, within three or four months, and that's without a bull market.

So giving Su He this little bit doesn't hurt him; she's his younger sister after all. Even without today's incident, he would have offered something after her college entrance exams because back when he went to college, Su He took five hundred from her little savings for him.

It's just that he feels the odds are a bit high.

"Your sister... she's pretty cute!" Shen Yi chuckled while sitting on the sofa.

After the earlier episode, she seemed to realize her presence caused some misunderstanding.

"Cute my ass. Sigh, eight hundred bucks, that's my two months' salary," Su Qing said, slightly pained.

Although he gave the money, he wasn't willing. If he'd waited a few days, he could have earned a little more money. It still feels like a loss.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Just that little bit of money? I've dropped more than that between my fingers. How about it, take good care of me, and that's nothing!"

At the end, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After Su He left, there were only the two of them left in the apartment. Perhaps because Su Qing was younger, Shen Yi always felt a desire to tease him when they were alone.

Simply put, she relied on being older to view the younger one's antics from an adult's perspective.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, "You're just all talk. If you really mean it, then throw money at me! If hundreds and eighty thousand were thrown at me, wouldn't I do whatever?"

The damn male ego.

Then he changed the subject, "So, what brings you here today? It's only Friday, and you're already giving yourself a holiday? Seems like being a boss has its perks!"

He knew that although Shen Yi, as a boss, didn't need to work, she had numerous responsibilities that might even make her busier than regular employees.

Thinking this over, Shen Yi smiled, "Finding leisure amidst busyness, but today I indeed have some business to discuss with you."

"What is it?" Su Qing asked, a bit confused.

He couldn't quite understand what a boss might want to discuss with a homebody like him.

"It's about work."

"Work? You want me to work in your company?"

Shen Yi shook her head, "Not really. But recently, the company needs promotion. You make short videos, right? There's an ad, interested in taking it? It's a paid gig."

"Promotion? Shouldn't you be hiring celebrities to endorse it and then showcase the ad?" Su Qing asked, confused.

He made money from short videos but didn't sell goods or do live streams for rewards. It was all about viewership, making some tough money. He wanted to accept ad promotions, but without a large fan base, it rarely came his way. So far, he'd only received a game promotion offer that paid three thousand, which made him thrilled.

"And you call yourself a media person? Don't you know the most direct promotional method now is online?" Shen Yi laughed.

Frankly, today's work talk was just an excuse. She mainly came because she missed hearing from him. Although she had a voice fetish before, she never quite got satisfied, but since Su Qing appeared, that longing amplified significantly. So, no matter how busy, she'd send Su Qing a few voice messages daily.

Recently, not visiting for a few days, she'd felt a scratching emptiness inside, like a little cat clawing, so after discussing with her assistant Deng Jie, she concocted a fairly passable excuse to come over.

The actual excuse didn't matter much; it merely justified her visit. Another point was she hadn't given up pulling Su Qing into her company, even temporarily.

"Aunt Shen, even if we're young, that doesn't mean you can fool me!"

"I know about online promotion, but even if it's for promotion, wouldn't seeking a big-shot blogger with a hundred thousand followers be effortless? What's the use of a small blogger like me with fewer than ten thousand followers and mediocre play counts?"

He was quite aware of his own status, so he felt Shen Yi was compensating or rewarding him for failing to allocate work, but he truly didn't like it.

Even without much cash in hand, he believed he was destined for greatness in the future.

"Who said you'd be the only one? Bloggers with a hundred thousand followers might not be as effective as ten bloggers with ten thousand followers, and their fees are higher. So, I thought of you. How about it, want the job? Don't worry, the company will send someone to discuss it with you; I won't interfere, and it'll be market-priced."

Shen Yi, sharp as ever, immediately sensed what he was thinking and knew his concerns. So she displayed a business-as-usual demeanor, hoping to honor her little benefactor's male pride.

She wasn't concerned about the fee; mainly, she wanted a reasonable excuse for being there.

Once Su Qing heard this, he took a deep breath; he was tempted. He couldn't accept other money, but money earned through his own efforts was fair game.

Although his following hadn't reached ten thousand, it was close. Better he earned it than someone else, right? He wasn't shirking effort.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Qing took a deep breath, "Deal, when should we start?"

"How about now!" Shen Yi's lips curved mischievously at the achieved goal.

As soon as the words fell, a familiar narration echoed in his mind.

[Young and inexperienced individuals are ultimately no match for old foxes; some struggle for food, others strive to eat, while wealth chases you to feed you.]

Su Qing: (￣□￣;)

Suddenly, his mind conjured an image of a cartoon shark shouting 'Rich lady, hungry, food.'

In the next moment, Shen Yi stood up and continued, "Let's go to the next thing."

"What's the next thing?"

"Join me for lunch and shopping."

Su Qing:...

Well, it's still a sort of companionship!
