The man shook his head.

“I don’t want your money. If I help you sell them, you can just help me get a job. Deal?”

He wanted to live a proper life now. Gu Ye seemed like a pretty decent man, so he would help him solve this problem. 

He could earn the money himself, he didn’t need charity. 

Gu Ye patted his chest in assurance.

“Brother, even if you couldn’t help me sell the machine tools, I will still get you a job. Don’t worry, It is on me. Work hard in the future and you’ll have money, a house, and even a wife too!”

The man’s expression stayed calm, as if nothing in the world could really ruffle him.

“We’ll see.” He replied lightly.

Then he stood up.

“Where are we going?” 

Gu Ye asked, following behind.

“Bathhouse.”

Without turning his head, the man navigated the area with ease, turning here, winding there, until they arrived at a public bathhouse. 

Gu Ye paid for the bath and even went to the nearby supply store to buy a full set of clean clothes, all brand new.

It took a full hour of scrubbing before the man finally emerged, completely transformed from head to toe. 

Gu Ye was stunned, it turned out that he was actually a fine-looking young man, refined even, the type who, if you put glasses on him and said he was a college student, people would believe it.

“Brother, you’ve got a handsome face. How old are you?”

“Twenty-nine.”

The man gave a faint smile, though his eyes carried a trace of melancholy. 

Both he and his older sister had been good-looking, and it was precisely because his older sister was so beautiful that she had caught the bully’s attention.

“You’re two years older than me. I’m twenty-seven. My name’s Gu Ye. What’s your name?” 

Gu Ye, being the sociable type, slung an arm over the man’s shoulder as if they were old friends.

The man looked a little uncomfortable with the physical closeness, but he didn’t push Gu Ye away. He gave his name.

“Yan Su*.” 

*This name means serious. 

“Yeah, you really do look serious, but what’s your name, though?” 

Gu Ye didn’t catch on and kept asking. 

Yan Su couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking this guy really was a bit naive. And yet he dared to go out selling machine tools, wasn’t he afraid of being taken advantage of?

“My name is literally Yan Su.”

Gu Ye froze for a second, then laughed.

“That’s an interesting name. Come on, let’s eat. It’s my treat.”

Yan Su didn’t refuse. He was about to help this fool sell machine tools, so he didn’t see any problem with letting him buy a meal.

Yan Su led the way, they went to a small restaurant he was familiar with. 

Gu Ye ordered a lot of dishes and was about to order some alcohol, but Yan Su stopped him.

“I don’t drink.”

“Alright, then just food it is.”

Gu Ye wasn’t much of a drinker himself, so they simply dug in. 

Even though it was their first meeting, the two found they could talk easily.

“From the way you speak, I would say you’re pretty well-educated.”

“I graduated from high school and even got into university… but my spot was taken.” Yan Su said it lightly.

Gu Ye was instantly furious.

“And you just let them be? You didn’t go to the education bureau?”

“By the time I found out, the other guy had already registered at the university. And his family was made up of town officials, I couldn’t afford to mess with them.” Yan Su’s expression was laced with sarcasm.

What was the point of making a scene? Those people protected their own. He and his older sister were just ordinary folks with no one supporting them, no one would help them.

Gu Ye slammed his hand on the table, looking more outraged than the victim himself. 

Seeing that, Yan Su felt a small warmth in his heart. He smiled faintly.

“It’s in the past.”

“Where’s the guy who took your place now?” Gu Ye asked.

Yan Su’s face hardened, and he ground his teeth. 

“He’s here in Shanghai. Married a beautiful wife, has two kids, and is living quite well.”

But someday, he would take his revenge.

Because he knew, his older sister’s death was also that family’s doing.
