129: Chapter 129 Socialites Song Keyi and Li Siqi

"Young Master Li: Will you be at the gym the day after tomorrow in the afternoon? If you're already asleep, you can just reply tomorrow."

Li Luo sent it like this because it was already eleven at night; he figured she would be about to go to bed by now.

He didn't feel sleepy yet, perhaps because the Girl had just finished taking care of him, leaving him in a particularly good mood.

It had to be said that Xu Wei provided him with the most emotional value tonight.

On the other side.

As a local of the Jiangning, Song Keyi had always lived with her parents.

Of course, living with parents at her age had its pros and cons. The benefit was naturally having everything provided for her without lifting a finger.

As for the downsides! Constant nagging about marriage was unavoidable.

Being the only child with no brothers, her parents' emphasis on her marriage was easily imaginable.

Ever since Song Keyi was old enough to understand things, her father had always worked outside while her mother stayed home year-round to take care of her daily life.

It wasn't anything major, of course; her father ran a small supermarket. Though called a supermarket, it was actually just a small convenience store, just enough to support their family of three.

Perhaps because there were no brothers and the parents had no financial burdens, her father's store had always been in a state of "letting it rot." He never thought about expanding or reaching new heights. Otherwise, why would she need to find a rich man?

After graduating from university, she started working as an accountant for a local company in the Jiangning. Perhaps because she dealt with money so often, her desire for it was actually greater than most people's.

After a year, she felt there was no future in it, so she quit her accounting job, which led to a fight with her mother.

Her mother's idea was for her to stay there and, when she got a bit older, find a capable man within the company.

That way, whether she stayed home to raise children or worked a simple job, she wouldn't have to worry about food or clothes.

Song Keyi's thoughts were different. She didn't want the kind of life her mother described; if it were just to not worry about food and clothes, why would she even need a man?

What she wanted was a man who would let her never work, not have to raise kids, and most importantly, give her plenty of money to spend.

After her mother learned of this idea, she gave her four words.

Daydreaming.

She didn't care. During the period after she quit, she originally planned to have some fun before finding an easier job.

But her mother kept nagging her, so she had no choice but to take a temporary job selling cosmetics at the Huanya Shopping Mall.

She planned to wait for a better opportunity. It was at this job that she met Li Siqi. Li Siqi also worked in cosmetics sales, and the two naturally became good friends and later Best Friends.

Later, through Li Siqi's introduction, she entered a new circle: the Socialite Group.

There, she saw the ultimate use of splitting the bill. A few people splitting a high-end Western meal, over a dozen people splitting a pair of designer stockings, and dozens splitting a five-star presidential suite. From then on, a new world opened up to her.

Song Keyi discovered that she could have afternoon tea at the Ritz-Carlton for less than a hundred yuan per person, and she could carry an unattainable Hermès bag for a week for just three hundred yuan. She could never have imagined such a life before, but now she could experience it all one by one.

Soon, thanks to her decent looks, she quickly established herself in the Socialite Group.

For example, right now, a sister in the group said someone was selling a second-hand Chanel bag in excellent condition. The official price was 24,000 yuan, but it could be bought for just 20,000 now.

Moreover, they urgently needed fifty people to split the cost at 400 yuan each. After fifty sisters had each carried it for a day and taken plenty of photos, they would resell it and split the proceeds equally.

So far, thirty-two people had joined the group buy, and even Li Siqi had sent a message asking if she wanted in.

Just as she was about to reply, she saw a new message on WeChat and trembled all over, then couldn't help but mutter.

"Coming the day after tomorrow in the afternoon? Also, Young Master Li really doesn't understand women! How many unmarried women go to bed before midnight?"

Song Keyi thought about it and decided to reply tomorrow morning. Since Young Master Li thought she was asleep, it would work out perfectly to show him she wasn't a night owl.

Then, excited, she quickly made a video call to her Best Friend Li Siqi.

Li Siqi rented a single room. The apartment she lived in was divided into five small rooms, and this was one of them.

Li Siqi, who was currently lying in bed scrolling through the Socialite Group's chat history, was startled when she received the video call from her Best Friend.

"I only asked her if she wanted to split the bill; why is she calling so late?"

Although puzzled, she casually pressed the answer button.

Once the video connected, Song Keyi's high-pitched voice immediately came through.

"Siqi, do you know whose message I just received?"

"Wasn't it just the group buy message I sent you? Why are you so excited?"

"Oh, no, it's Young Master Li. He just messaged me."

Li Siqi was also stunned upon hearing this.

"Why would Young Master Li message you this late? Has he already returned?"

"I don't know if he's back, but Young Master Li said he's coming to the gym the day after tomorrow in the afternoon."

"The day after tomorrow? Yi Yi, you forgot, we have to work then! Tell Young Master Li to come the day after that instead!"

"What's there to say? We can just take the day off. Besides, what if Young Master Li pushes it back even further?"

Li Siqi looked at her Best Friend in the video, feeling a bit hesitant.

"But they'll deduct our pay if we take leave! I have to pay rent soon. If I do this, I won't even be able to afford face masks next month."

"Then don't take the day off, Siqi! I'll just go by myself. Anyway, I don't have to pay for food or housing, so let them deduct it!"

"No way, if Young Master Li is coming, I have to go. I can't drop the watermelon for a sesame seed. Hey, Song Keyi, you're so devious! Are you planning to keep him all to yourself?"

Song Keyi looked completely innocent.

"Siqi, look at what you're saying. What am I keeping to myself? You're the one who said you were afraid of losing pay and didn't want to take leave. How is that my fault?"

"Then I'll just take the pay cut. I'm already slightly less attractive than you; if I'm not proactive, I might not even get a sip of the soup," Li Siqi said gloomily.

"What are you thinking? What do you mean 'not even a sip of the soup'? Besides, if you want soup, there has to be meat to cook! I don't even know if Young Master Li is going to let me have a bite of his 'meat' yet."

"Besides, we aren't even sure yet if Young Master Li is 'fresh meat' or 'rotten meat.' If he's rotten, not only will we have wasted our time, but we'll have spent our money for nothing."
