Chapter 151 Taking Advantage of the Vulnerability
In the early morning, soft sunlight filters through the thin gauze curtains, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the ground.
Bai Li nestled lazily in the soft sofa.
Ahe carried the prepared, hearty breakfast to the small table in front of her.
The steaming coffee exudes a rich aroma, the freshly baked bread is soft and delicious, and paired with brightly colored fruit, it looks very tempting.
Jingye has been away from home lately, recovering from her injuries at a private sanatorium, and she hasn't had anyone to have breakfast with.
Although Jingye wasn't exactly a good partner—while she was always enjoying her delicious meal, he was always quietly chewing his "grass"—he was still a partner nonetheless.
Without this companion, Bai Li always felt that eating alone at the spacious dining table was quite boring.
So she simply changed her dining spot, and felt much better after moving here, where she could enjoy her meal even when she was alone.
After several busy days, all the backlog of tasks in the company has been dealt with, and everything is back on track.
Bai Li can finally sleep in at home and leisurely enjoy this breakfast.
She took a small bite of bread, but her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
They already have a super-rich system, so they could live a carefree life without having to do anything but spend money and enjoy themselves.
But why am I still living such a busy life?
This question has been lingering in her mind lately.
As she pondered the situation and watched the company gradually flourish, a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.
Especially yesterday, when I attended the wrap party with the crew, that wonderful feeling of being valued by everyone welled up in my heart again, which was both warm and fulfilling.
Bai Li thought that this might be the reason.
Money, for her now, is indeed just a number.
If all you know is how to spend money, how boring life would be.
It's more important to realize some personal value. The emotional value and sense of accomplishment that come from converting money into cash are the truly valuable things.
"Buzz."
The phone vibrated twice, interrupting Bai Li's thoughts.
Bai Li stopped eating breakfast and picked up her phone to take a look.
It was a message from Guan Cha.
Emotional value, here it is.
---------------------------------
Jingye has something to do recently and won't be by Baili's side for a while.
This news successfully reached Guan Cha's ears.
Upon hearing this news, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in Guan Cha's eyes.
Finally, the biggest obstacle that had always stood between him and Bai Li has temporarily disappeared.
The opportunity is here.
On ordinary days, Jingye took meticulous care of Baili, considering every aspect with utmost care.
At school, there is another Ying Xiangyang.
Despite her enthusiasm and initiative, Guan Cha still struggled to overcome these two major obstacles.
Furthermore, Bai Li was abroad for more than a month this time, and Guan Cha felt that the alarm bells of crisis in her heart were getting louder and louder.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity to make a good impression on Bai Li and make his presence known, he'll be forgotten.
The consequence of being forgotten is being constantly marginalized, no longer needed, and ultimately losing the favor of the Goddess of Wealth.
In short, it will become unfortunate.
This is something Guan Cha absolutely cannot accept.
However, Guan Cha did not rush into action, but instead began to carefully plan.
After careful consideration, he chose a weekend when Bai Li was likely to be resting at home, and began preparations early in the morning before dawn.
He dug out photos of his previous successful nail art works, from fresh and elegant Japanese styles to glamorous and dazzling European and American styles, carefully weighed them, and meticulously selected more than a dozen photos that best showcased his superb skills.
He then spent a considerable amount of time meticulously categorizing the photos by style and adding carefully written descriptions, detailing the design inspiration for each nail art, the brand characteristics of the gel polish used, and the most suitable occasions to match.
Guan Cha's lips curled into a cold smile.
Does that naturally beautiful and aloof butler know anything about nail art, beauty, or hairdressing?
The other white-haired kid only knows how to play video games.
No one is more authoritative in the beauty industry than him!
After everything was ready, Guan Cha sent a message to Bai Li.
After sending the message, Guan Cha couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Despite his confidence in his skills, he couldn't suppress his trepidation when facing the white pear.
After all, he had never seen Bai Li do manicures before, and this time he was just trying his luck. In fact, he was already prepared to be rejected.
Guan Cha stared at her phone screen, awaiting Bai Li's "judgment."
Not long after, Bai Li replied: "Oh? You can do nail art too? Send me a picture."
A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Cha's eyes. She immediately sent over the carefully prepared photos, adding, "These are pieces I specially selected based on your previous style and the occasions you attend. If you have other ideas, I can also create something tailored to you."
Bai Li looked at the exquisite nail art photos on her phone, her gaze lingering on the screen for a few seconds.
She tapped the table lightly, lost in thought.
The nail art in the photo is exquisite in both color matching and pattern design, showing that Guan Cha has indeed put a lot of effort into it.
She doesn't have the habit of getting manicures; she always feels that applying something to her nails makes her fingers feel strangely restricted.
She had previously declined Jiang Mingfei's offer to get her nails done.
But this time, Guan Cha has prepared so meticulously, and I haven't seen him for quite some time. Since I have nothing else to do today, I might as well give Guan Cha a chance and let him try.
Bai Li: Okay, then come over here.
When Guan Cha received this message, her eyes lit up immediately, and she secretly cheered, "Yes!"
That's great! The Goddess of Wealth has given us a chance.
He quickly packed up his nail tools, carefully groomed himself in front of the mirror, and then took a taxi to Bai Li's house.
Upon arriving at Bai Li's doorstep, Guan Cha took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions, straightened her clothes once more, and then raised her hand to ring the doorbell.
Bai Li was sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
When Guan Cha saw Bai Li, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face: "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry to bother you."
Oh no, it's been too long since I've seen Shirai Makoto.
He almost blurted out that he was praying to the "Goddess of Wealth" every day, but luckily Bai Li didn't notice, and he corrected himself in time.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Guan Cha quickly walked to Bai Li's side, carefully placed the nail art tools on the table next to her, then opened the toolbox and skillfully took out various tools from it.
Bai Li watched Guan Cha's every move with great interest, noticing how meticulously he had prepared. Every tool was neatly arranged, and the materials were clearly categorized.
Guan Cha himself doesn't have a manicure, so these things weren't prepared for him; they were just to please the rich woman.
She strongly suspected that Guan Cha had rehearsed diligently for a long time for this day, and that she might have been honing her nail art skills for several years.
Child, why do you want to be with a rich woman?
With your perseverance, you'll succeed at anything.
After tidying up her tools, Guan Cha carefully lifted Bai Li's fingertips, her face showing a sincere expression, and said from the bottom of her heart, "Your nail bed is so beautiful."
This wasn't just empty flattery he said to please Bai Li; it was his true feeling.
White pear nail beds have a beautiful shape and delicate texture, requiring almost no polishing before manicures can be performed.
Bai Li smiled and said, "Of course."
Previously, the Wanxiang Wheel randomly generated several [Nail Art] attribute points, and Bai Li added them all.
Guan Cha quickly finished the disinfection and pruning work and began applying base coat to the white pear.
His movements were very gentle, trying to avoid touching Bai Li's skin.
Bai Li quietly watched Guan Cha, who was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world had shrunk to just the hands in front of her.
He frowned slightly, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his eyelids, his lips slightly pursed beneath his high nose, his expression serious and earnest.
Seeing Guan Cha's appearance, Bai Li couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, feeling both helpless and amused.
It's quite amazing that I was able to develop this kind of relationship with Guan Cha.
At first, they were customers and shop assistants, then they became college classmates, and now they have a contractual relationship.
It's strange, but it makes a lot of sense.
Guan Cha paused for a moment, seemingly noticing Bai Li's gaze.
But he didn't turn his head to look; instead, he continued to focus on his work, though the tips of his ears quietly turned red.
As Guan Cha finished his tea, the nail art process proceeded smoothly.
Since Bai Li requested that her nails not be too fancy, Guan Cha had to suppress her regret and recommend solid color nail art to her.
hateful!
I was really looking forward to showing my skills!
Solid colors don't showcase your skill level at all!
Although that's what she thought, Guan Cha still obediently did what Bai Li wanted.
Making Bai Li satisfied is the most important thing.
Because solid color nail art is relatively simple and doesn't require much skill, it was completed very quickly.
Bai Li looked at her newly renovated nails, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The solid-color gel polish applied to the nails is even and full, with a warm and textured color. Under the soft indoor lighting, it gleams with a soft and sophisticated luster, exuding a sense of understated luxury.
Moreover, it cleverly complements Bai Li's skin tone and overall temperament, making her fingers appear even longer and whiter.
While a nail technician's skills are important, aesthetic sense is the key factor that determines the final result.
Guan Cha is someone whose technical skills and aesthetic sense are both top-notch.
Although it's just a solid color, Guan Cha's meticulous design has created a simple yet sophisticated effect, far exceeding her original expectations.
Bai Li couldn't help but sincerely praise, "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, I really like it."
Upon hearing these words, Guan Cha felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her.
Three years of hard work have finally paid off, and it was all worth it for this moment!
Even happier things happened soon after.
Bai Li took out her phone and transferred a generous reward to Guan Cha.
When Guan Cha saw the transfer notification on her phone, her eyes lit up, and her smile became even brighter.
[Guan Cha's favorability +5]
Guan Cha's favorability rating: 68
Looking at Guan Cha's overjoyed expression, Bai Li felt a sense of reassurance welling up inside her.
It has to be you again, Gold Digger Blackberry Cake!
Everyone else's relationship seems to be slowly deteriorating, but you're still holding onto your original feelings!
Keep it up!
