Chapter 272 Sometimes It's Really Good

After deducting costs, she made 1.2 million patacas in more than half a year.

This was mainly thanks to the bubble tea, restaurant, and pub businesses, which showed how busy Yin Liuli usually was.

Relying on affordable Western food, coffee, and alcohol, earning money was much harder than it was for Su Yehao. Judging from the scale of the small building, she was already close to hitting the ceiling.

The reason she could earn so much was, on the one hand, because many acquaintances supported her when she opened the business, contributing about 300,000 to 400,000 patacas in revenue.

On the other hand, it was also related to Su Yehao's growing reputation. When young people strolled near the Ruins of St. Paul's, they would always think of him, this amazing guy who made hundreds of millions through investments.

Most importantly, Yin Liuli put her heart into running the business. She constantly adjusted the menu, striving for quality and affordability. A dining table could turn over three waves of customers in the evening, winning the love of the working class. The service and atmosphere were also quite good.

As for the cat café on the second floor, it was also unique.

Although the prices were slightly higher, the cats, purchased for over 100,000 patacas, had pleasing personalities and appearances. This even led to copycats; two new cat cafés opened in Casino in the second half of the year, clearly imitating Koko Cat Café's model.

Small but complete.

From a certain point of view, although the profits weren't too high, Yin Liuli was usually busier than Su Yehao. Big and small matters cropped up every day, and occasionally encountering unreasonable customers was quite frustrating.

The round bathtub had enough space. As Yin Liuli entered, the water level rose slightly, overflowing the drain.

Su Yehao tickled her belly with his foot and asked with a smile, "Do you like your current life? If you want to continue in this industry, you can consider expanding the scale and opening a restaurant in Hong Kong, which would also make it easier for us to meet. Or you can plan something else and start another business. I can give you an investment of 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars at any time."

Yin Liuli was slightly tempted when she heard they could meet often.

However, this woman was very self-aware. She wasn't particularly ambitious and didn't have much obsession with money or success.

Therefore, she shook her head and said, "There are too many restaurants in Hong Kong. Our success here was just an accident. We don't have anything special, and it would be too difficult to stand out. For example, with cat cafés, other cafés can just buy a few cats and replicate our advantages. I don't have the confidence. Things are fine as they are now."

Su Yehao wasn't the controlling type.

If the little girl was idle, he would help her manage her finances.

If Nong Qingying had a bit of ambition, she would go to Koko as a vice president and be persuaded to finance the Sohu portal website.

Su Yehao told her, "Okay, just tell me if you need anything. Don't worry about bothering me. Then you can continue doing this, take more vacations for yourself, and I'll try to make time to take you out to travel and relax more often."

While scrubbing his back, Yin Liuli hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Do you think I'm not ambitious enough?"

"Of course not. Everyone has their own way of life. Anyway, there's not much pressure in life, so just enjoy it comfortably. A person's life passes in the blink of an eye. Finding a state that suits you is key. Since we can't extend our lifespan, we can only work on the quality of life. It's not necessarily about being obsessed with material things. Besides, I'm good at making money. The three million Hong Kong dollars worth of Yahoo stock I bought for you should also make you financially free in the future. Isn't that also a kind of success in the eyes of others?"

After hearing Su Yehao's words, Yin Liuli sighed, "Sometimes I think you're really good."

"Only sometimes?"

Su Yehao regretted asking this question as soon as he finished speaking.

Sure enough.

Their eyes met.

Although Yin Liuli didn't say anything, her eyes had already written the answer. Su Yehao felt guilty and immediately understood what she meant.

He immediately shifted his attention, started to touch her, and deliberately avoided sensitive topics that would embarrass each other…

——————————————

The new year began, ringing out the old and welcoming the new.

That night, he sat on the sofa, holding Yin Liuli and watching TV.

The newly bought plasma TV's picture quality couldn't compare with LCD, but it was much better than old-fashioned TVs.

Since learning that his father was in talks with Meade Group about financing, Su Yehao paid more attention to the technology in home appliances. A few days ago, he even sent people to learn about lithography machines and the chip industry.

It could only be said that different levels have different pursuits. After a few months, Su Yehao achieved a major leap in his mentality. He was no longer satisfied with just making money itself, and wanted to achieve more in terms of self-worth.

This mentality had just sprouted and was limited by the not-so-much money in hand, but it had indeed changed.

In the first half of last year, he would have been happy to get tens of thousands of dollars in pocket money, but now he was used to ignoring hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash piled on the coffee table. Watching a movie was more interesting than looking at money.

Holding Yin Liuli, they were watching a zombie movie starring Lam Ching-ying on the screen.

According to Yin Liuli, the disc was bought as early as last month, but she didn't dare to watch it alone at home. She stubbornly dragged it out until tonight before taking it out of the drawer.

At this moment, the apartment was brightly lit.

After giving her this apartment, the carpets and dining table were replaced, and there were more decorative paintings on the walls, with fresh flowers in vases.

There weren't many things, making it look clean and tidy. Although the prices weren't high, it was quite comfortable to live in.

Around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Outside, there were sparse firecrackers at first, but then the sound became louder and louder. Some people were also setting off fireworks by the sea.

The dazzling colors were reflected on the apartment windows. After pausing the movie, they went to the French windows to watch.

Guessing that Nangong Tian would definitely call, Su Yehao went to the bathroom. Sure enough, he saw a missed call. The newly bought Nokia 6110 even had a built-in Snake game and was quite lightweight.

He called back, pretending to be sleepy, and exchanged New Year's greetings.

Su Yehao sat on the toilet and agreed to accompany her old classmates to walk around Tai Tam Country Park tomorrow morning.

With Nangong Tian's love brain, she naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to show off her love, especially in front of her high school classmates. At the time, they weren't optimistic about the little girl's "moth to the flame."

But now, not only were the two of them together, but their relationship was also quite good. Especially since Su Yehao had gradually made a name for himself, how could she not take the opportunity to show off her love?

When it came to Nangong Tian's ability to flaunt their relationship, Jiang Yu had a lot to say about it. She was fed a mouthful of lovey-dovey stuff every now and then, and was almost depressed.

They had just separated during the day, so there was nothing new to talk about.

After quickly hanging up the phone, Su Yehao returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.

Yin Liuli could probably guess, but she didn't mention it at all. If she didn't mention this kind of thing at the beginning, now that the bond was getting deeper and deeper, she wouldn't open her mouth easily.

When taking a bath, Su Yehao had said that "finding a state that suits you is key." The same was true for relationships.

There was no other way.

If she fell in love with such a man, she really didn't have the confidence to tame him...
