Star Tycoon

Chapter 11 Girls
Tian Ersan's tricycle was too small, and the two girls' trash quickly filled the tricycle's cargo bed.

Just as I was paying, four girls walked in carrying clothes.

"Wang Yue!"

Zhou Shanshan greeted him quietly and saw Tian Ersan as soon as she entered the room.

"I came to take a look; I heard they collect clothes here."

In front of unfamiliar boys, Zhou Shanshan's voice became unnatural, and she started to make a sweet, whiny sound.

Tian Ersan felt that he was being pretentious.

Their true voice is only revealed when they're calling someone an idiot.

Tian Ersan gave Wang Yue and Li Ying fifty yuan each.

Besides school uniforms, the two also sold a lot of notebooks and stationery, as well as other clothes and girls' items.

Tian Ersan quickly looked at the four girls. "The school uniforms are 35 yuan a set. The two of them sold a lot of things, so it's 50 yuan. The rest of you are only selling school uniforms, so it's definitely 35 yuan. My car is almost full, so I'm only accepting school uniforms now."

Soon a girl said, "How about forty? Brother, could you give me more?"

Several girls were joking and trying to take advantage of her, but Tian Ersan refused, saying, "No way."

The girl next to Zhou Shanshan said in a spoiled manner, "If it's not going to work, then we won't sell it!"

These women sometimes prefer to give up entirely just to prove themselves.

Tian Ersan didn't lack a piece of clothing. Judging from the girls' reactions, Tian Ersan realized that he had underestimated the appeal of thirty or forty yuan to girls of this age.

The original price of the clothes is not important; what matters is that these people will no longer wear school uniforms after graduation, so they naturally don't mind selling them to pay for internet fees, meals, hair dyeing, or phone top-ups.

Sure enough, before Tian Ersan could say anything, the girls nearby advised her to calm down.

"Alright, thirty-five it is. I hate seeing this school uniform. Sell it!"

Tian Ersan said directly, "WeChat or Alipay are both fine, or you can pay in cash if you don't have either."

The girl who had said she wouldn't sell it earlier actually did, and happily accepted thirty-five yuan.

Zhou Shanshan saw a wad of cash in Tian Ersan's pocket and asked, "Are you coming back this afternoon? There are still people in our group who want to sell school uniforms."

Wang Yue said with a smile, "I've already added him to the group. His name is 123. He's the only boy in our group!"

After packing the things, Tian Ersan looked at Wang Yue in order to save time.

Are you free this afternoon?

Zhou Shanshan laughed and said, "What? You're inviting Wang Yue to dinner? Take us with you, I'll help you two get together!"

Wang Yue was embarrassed. "Don't talk nonsense!"

They were all recent high school graduates from small county towns, and none of them were able to go to university. They either went to work in factories in the south or got married and had children.

Li Ying looked at Tian Ersan and praised him, "If you were in our school, you would definitely be the school heartthrob!"

"I'm just a weed." Tian Ersan smiled, completely unconcerned about being called the school heartthrob. "What I mean is, when someone brings the school uniform over, just leave it here. I'll come over this afternoon, pay, pick up the clothes, and leave."

"If you're free this afternoon, could you help me collect these? I can give you fifty yuan as a tip."

Wang Yue quickly replied, "Okay! I didn't want to go back to the countryside anyway, so staying an extra day won't hurt."

Zhou Shanshan looked at the two of them.

Wang Yue looks like a tall country girl with dark skin, unkempt hair, and unfashionable clothes.

Tian Ersan was dressed simply, but he was handsome and gave off a very well-behaved vibe. He also had fair skin, and especially when he stood next to Wang Yue, they looked like a rich young master and a country girl.

Another thing is their accent. Tian Ersan's accent doesn't sound like someone from a small county town. She speaks clear and neat Mandarin, and her speech and behavior don't have that rustic feel that they've been used to since childhood.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhou Shanshan asked a question that everyone wanted to know.

"No," Tian Ersan replied directly, then nonchalantly pushed his tricycle out. "Women are nothing compared to making money! I'm going back now, I'll be back in about two or three hours!"

Wang Yue shouted, "Okay! I'll have them wait for you here!"

Tian Ersan returned quickly after going back, and was stopped by several girls as soon as he got to the street.

"Waiter, are you here to collect the laundry?"

Several girls looked at Tian Ersan with delight, scrutinizing the sweating young man from head to toe.

"Yes." Tian Ersan roughly guessed what was going on. "You were sent by Wang Yue to sell clothes, right?"

The girls laughed and said, "Yeah! We've brought all the clothes over. Is it okay if we don't wash them? We're afraid they won't dry if we wash them."

In the sweltering summer, the clothes can be dried in a washing machine, but everyone else just sells them directly, and the newcomers don't want to go through that trouble.

Tian Ersan replied, "No need to wash, I'll go take a look."

The girls quickly helped Tian Ersan across; some led the way, others got on the tricycle, and they watched with smiles as Tian Ersan hauled people along. Endure!
Tian Ersan was like a ninja turtle, laboriously pedaling his tricycle, carrying a group of little fairies on his back as he moved forward.

Push! Push hard! Stand up and push!

In the courtyard, Tian Ersan collected more than fifty sets of girls' school uniforms.

Some are ugly women, some are fat, and some are flat-chested; truly beautiful women are few and far between.

But they are all high school graduates and working professionals; they are not lying.

Because everyone pays close attention to their appearance when taking the college entrance examination, most of them wear washed school uniforms.

Tian Ersan quickly took out his phone and said to the few pretty girls who hadn't left yet, "I need to take a picture to prove that I only collected girls' school uniforms. You stand in the courtyard and I'll take a group photo for you."

Zhou Shanshan happily said, "Sure! Do we need to wear the school uniform?"

Tian Ersan sensed that this woman was somewhat clever. "Put it on!"

Zhou Shanshan quickly smiled and said, "Then you have to treat us to milk tea later! We're doing this for free right now!"

Why would someone who does unpaid labor want milk tea?
Tian Ersan knew that reasoning with these women would easily backfire, so he readily nodded.

"Okay! Consider it a thank you fee for helping us for over an hour."

Li Ying said with a smile, "It's not just an hour; we haven't eaten anything since this morning!"

Tian Ersan said generously, "Then I'll treat you to a meal! We'll have braised noodles! There aren't many people in the restaurant right now, so I'll take you to eat after we finish taking the photos, and I'll pay and go back."

Zhou Shanshan discovered that Tian Ersan was not only handsome, but also very rich!
"Okay! I'll add you on WeChat. Just let me know if you need any help in the future! I'll even introduce you to a girlfriend!"

Tian Ersan denied it, saying, "I'm not younger than you, and I'm a grown woman who can support myself. I don't acknowledge you as my sister!"

"Who cares!" Zhou Shanshan felt a little embarrassed, but after smiling, she still changed into her school uniform with the other girls and ate at their cafeteria.

It's great to save money on a meal, and you can also have milk tea.

All you have to do is put on your school uniform and take a picture; it's not a big deal.

Why not take advantage of a free meal? Only a fool wouldn't pass up a bargain!

Zhou Shanshan picked up a school uniform and was about to put it on when she suddenly noticed the red writing on it.

"Li Na loves Wang Boming, forever!" Zhou Shanshan said, then quickly frowned and said, "No wonder Li Na took the money and ran away. She was selling these kinds of unsellable dirty clothes. Who would want these clothes? I'll ask her to refund the money in the group!"

Upon seeing this, Tian Ersan quickly said, "No need, just wear whatever you like, it's just for a photo."

Li Ying quickly looked around and said, "I have some too, and they're all smeared on! They're all scribbles with signal pens, so rude! They even sell clothes like this!"

The others looked around and found that such a thing did exist.

Many of the school uniforms had names written on them, some even saying "XXX loves XXX".

Tian Ersan smiled. These kinds of things actually sell better; they can be sold at a higher price!

"It's okay, it's okay. Second-hand school uniforms are prone to this. Just wear these for the photos. Anyway, they're not your own clothes. The person who takes them will definitely wash them."

People who buy these kinds of clothes probably don't wash them.

When Zhou Shanshan and the others saw that Tian Ersan said it was okay, they all changed their clothes and started taking pictures.

Tian Ersan was in charge of taking photos. He quickly found a place with both light and shadow and took pictures of eight pretty, innocent yet gradually maturing and becoming more composed adults.

These girls are all adults now, and they have their own difficult futures to navigate.

Tian Ersan looked at the photo and said, "I'll send it to the group chat. You can save it yourself."

Zhou Shanshan quickly took out her phone and checked it.

"This photo is a hundred times better than our school's group photo! I'll ask you to take my photos from now on!"

Zhou Shanshan compared her graduation photo with her own, and realized that her mediocre skills in the photo were far inferior to those of Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan readily agreed, "Take off your clothes. I still need to pick up and deliver packages. Here's 150 yuan for you guys to eat and drink milk tea. We can discuss anything else in the group chat later."

Eight people, 150 yuan, less than 20 yuan per person on average.

That's definitely enough for meals and milk tea.

The eight people happily accepted the money.

"Thank you, waiter!" Zhou Shanshan said happily, taking the money with her.

The others also thanked them happily, having received money for lunch and drinks.

Tian Ersan quickly pedaled his tricycle back home; he had earned about a thousand yuan that day.

Some of the money was earned yesterday, so overall, I still lost quite a bit today because of the clothing acquisition.

We're one step further away from our goal of 100,000 yuan.
