After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

A group of people were able to empathize with each other instantly.

Xu Musen smiled and said, "So the base price must remain firm, but we can offer them some early bird discounts. For example, if their online orders exceed a certain number, we can give them some rebates, and tell them that the earlier they settle in, the higher the rebate rate will be."

"Brilliant!"

Zhou Hangyu's eyes lit up. Human nature is actually quite simple; people fear not getting a deal for themselves, but they fear even more that others might get a better one.

Although the method of offering more rewards for earlier settlement is simple and crude, it's very likely to be effective.

This tactic is especially successful in dealing with holdouts during demolitions. Despite seeming united as iron, if you announce an extra reward for the first household to sign the demolition agreement, surely someone would volunteer straight away, likely more anxious than the demolition crew to knock down their own house.

"Boss Xu, I've come to realize your heart is truly dark," someone remarked.

"Driving away wolves and swallowing tigers, it'd be a pity if Boss Xu isn't hung up on a street light!"

"Agreed!"

Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong couldn't help but tease, and Zhao Lianmai, who had been silent up until now, nodded along.

"Go on, get out of here! If the task falls through, I'll dock your pay first!"

The group went about their tasks with laughter and teasing.

Zhao Lianmai then approached Xu Musen and handed him an envelope.

"What's this?"

"I'm repaying you the money."

Inside the envelope were twenty thousand yuan.

Now, Zhao Lianmai's salary wasn't low. In Huhai, she was considered an elite white-collar worker, but most of her money was still sent back home, to pay for her mother's medical bills and her sister's tuition.

She herself, even with the New Year passing, still hadn't allowed herself to buy an extra piece of clothing.

Xu Musen waved his hand: "I'm not in any rush to settle the accounts. Keep it for now. With that spare cash, go buy some clothes. You're quite attractive. Dress up nicely, don't always wear a stern face, smile more. Some of the social activities of the company's press conferences and such might end up being handled by you."

Zhao Lianmai looked down at herself. Her washed-out jeans had faded, and her simple long-sleeved jacket was indeed a bit old-fashioned.

"I'll go buy some after I get next month's salary."

"Go in these next few days. This is for the company's image. The company will cover the expense," Xu Musen gestured again.

Zhao Lianmai didn't speak, just looked at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen also looked back at her, and, after a moment of helplessness, smiled: "How about this, I'm moving to a new place soon, you can just prepare a gift for me to celebrate the housewarming."

Zhao Lianmai paused: "Moving? Is Nuannuan moving with you?"

"Of course, afterward everyone can come over to the house and have fun together."

Zhao Lianmai nodded, pondering for a moment before saying, "Then you have to be nicer to Nuannuan."

"Do I really look like a bad guy?" Xu Musen pointed at himself.

"Yes."

Zhao Lianmai nodded solemnly.

Xu Musen: ???

"But, you're a good bad guy."

Zhao Lianmai added another line, watching Xu Musen's frustrated expression, she slightly curved her lips into a smile.

Having gotten used to the sight of An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen actually thought Zhao Lianmai was quite pretty.

Especially with her wheat-toned healthy skin, the smile curling her lips added a special charm to her.

But the smile didn't last long.

Having said that, she turned around and left.

Xu Musen was speechless for a while, then couldn't help but laugh.

A good person is a good person, a bad person is a bad person, what's with a good bad person?

But this was also one of the few praises he had ever heard from the mouth of Zhao Lianmai.

Forget it, time to seek comfort from Nuannuan.

Xu Musen never truly felt anything particular about the school curriculum; after all, people liked the life of college, not the classes.

Carrying milk tea, Xu Musen headed towards the teaching building, passing by his own class in between. He glanced inside, thinking back on the many classmates he had barely seen since the military training, and sighed softly.

"Hey, isn't that Xu Musen?"

"Look who's here, the rare visitor! Has he finally decided to attend a class?"

"How could that be, he's definitely on his way to see his girlfriend..."

The students in the class all looked over. Xu Musen was considered a campus heartthrob.

Good-looking, capable, running a milk tea shop, and driving an Audi around the campus every day...

The perfect dream guy for many girls.

But the girls around Xu Musen were just too magnificent - An Nuannuan, Yao Mingyue, or that occasionally appearing Ferrari-driving young woman - they were enough to intimidate the rest.

They were simply from a different world...

"So envious. If only I had such a great boyfriend who, despite being a big boss with an Audi, would still personally deliver milk tea to his girlfriend every day."

"But you'd have to match him. His girlfriend is so beautiful, and her figure is... too brutal."

"If I had chased him right at the beginning of the school year, maybe I'd have had a chance. Hey, wasn't Lin Daiyu pursuing him..."

The girls whispered among themselves, and suddenly one of them remembered and blurted it out without thinking.

But in the next moment, she was nudged gently by someone.

Lin Daiyu was sitting right behind them, her gaze also following the view outside the window.

"Daiyu, that..."

The girl was immediately a little embarrassed, as bringing up such a topic was sure to be face-losing if done to someone's face.

However, Lin Daiyu, watching Xu Musen's figure slowly move away from the window, remembered the moments from the start of the school year.

Time really flies.

She smiled and slowly withdrew her gaze: "It's nothing, I chased him, yes. Although unsuccessful, at least I proved that my taste is not bad."
