Choosing a good partner is more important than any other decision in life.

If you have to face someone you don't like every day, life will mostly be a torment.

To be fair.

Yin Liuli wasn't sure how to evaluate Su Yehao. Sometimes she found him impeccable, but sometimes she regretted that this man didn't belong solely to her.

Coming home to a dark room at night, having no one to share interesting things with, savoring delicious food alone, walking down the street alone... Whenever this happened, Yin Liuli would think of Su Yehao's shortcomings.

However, unexpectedly, on this New Year's Eve, seeing him appear at the door, Yin Liuli was happy again.

She said with a smile, "Okay, I just got a year-end bonus of fifteen thousand. At worst, I'll pay it all back to you."

"Weren't the restaurant and cat café doing well? You only gave yourself fifteen thousand? Forget it, I'm afraid you can't afford next year's property fees and utilities. Have you checked the investment account I helped you with? It's already made a small profit recently. Are you treating me to dinner tonight?"

Su Yehao got off the plane, took the little girl home, and then detoured straight here.

After rushing around all day, he was indeed hungry.

Yin Liuli looked at the vegetables she had bought, all vegetarian. Thinking that the New Year's Eve dinner should be more lavish, she suggested, "Or should I change my clothes and we go out to eat? When I came back just now, I saw many restaurants still open, unlike our island, where most of them close for a few days to go home for the New Year."

Su Yehao didn't ask her if she wanted to go home.

Yin Liuli's mother had passed away from illness in her early years, and she still had a father, but the relationship between the father and daughter had always been strained.

She had mentioned a few words about it before, saying that her father seemed to be addicted to alcohol and gambling.

Having finally started a new life, this woman didn't like to talk about the past, probably because she was worried about being looked down upon by Su Yehao. They rarely talked about these things, and Su Yehao tactfully never asked.

Nodding, Su Yehao squatted down to tease the cat.

The golden chinchilla named Koko still looked so round. The weight loss plan had completely failed. It currently weighed a full ten kilograms, and it was heavy to hold.

Not just bloated, it was genuinely fat, all meat to the touch.

After changing into a windbreaker and quickly fixing her hair, Yin Liuli thought of a new restaurant and suggested, "How about Portuguese food, at the New Yaohan department store?"

"New Yaohan? The old department store reopened? Speaking of which, I still have a card that I haven't used up, it's in my wallet. I wonder if it can still be used."

Su Yehao said as he reached into his pocket. Mobile payments were still just a dream, and wallets were mainly used for tipping.

He had exchanged fifty thousand yen before going to Tokyo, and there were still more than thirty thousand left.

A few months ago, Second Aunt and Su's father had each given him a shopping card for the Yaohan department store. Later, after learning that the Japanese Yaohan company had gone bankrupt, he had basically spent all the money on the cards. The two cards combined should still have an amount of six or seven thousand left.

As for the Yaohan department store, it had been acquired by the Donghuang Group and another company, with the Donghuang Group responsible for the management, and it was renamed "New Yaohan."

Perhaps because the old department store was too famous, they only changed one character.

Thinking of trying to see if he could use it, after Yin Liuli got ready, the two drove to the mall for dinner. There were a lot of customers today, but luckily it was a luxury car, so they could park at the entrance without having to compete for parking spaces.

The security situation in Casino was slightly declining due to the laxity of a group of white people, so Su Yehao still had bodyguards following him when he went out. They were still hired from Brother Jun's people, costing a total of almost two million a year, on twenty-four-hour shifts.

The expense sounded large, but compared to the income, it was almost negligible, and it was paid from Sihai International's accounts.

He wasn't used to it at first, but now Su Yehao was very comfortable with it. He didn't feel safe if he didn't have a few people with him when he went out.

...

First, they went to the Chanel store, under the pretense of testing whether the shopping card could be used, and bought Yin Liuli a white handbag.

The CF series. The Leboy series handbag she had bought before had a heavy chain and hurt her shoulder every time she took it out, so it wasn't practical enough.

It could only be said that the Donghuang Group was still relatively meticulous after taking over.

The previous shopping card could be used. After swiping the card, the remaining money was paid with a credit card. The store clerk was seeing a palladium metal credit card for the first time, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Yehao, worried about encountering a swindler.

The payment was successfully completed.

When they went out, Su Yehao said to Yin Liuli, "A year-end gift to compensate you. Don't take it to heart."

"Yeah... I think I'm used to it already. You've even given me a house. Compared to that apartment, this is already good."

As soon as Yin Liuli finished speaking, Su Yehao reminded her with a smile, "If you were really used to it, you wouldn't mention the house. Counting the money you've earned this year, it's almost ten figures. Based on our relationship, there's really no need to be so calculating with me. It makes me feel pressured every time I give you a gift, wondering if it will burden you."

Yin Liuli thought for a moment, then asked curiously:

"Ten figures, wouldn't that be at least a billion? I only knew that you made money doing business, but I didn't expect you to have made so much. It's so exaggerated, I feel like even movies rarely film it that way."

"That's why I'm a little busy. I didn't spend enough time with you in the second half of the year. I'll definitely try to make more time next year and take you out to travel for a few days."

Su Yehao took the opportunity to find an excuse for himself.

Walking forward with the crowd, he saw a Cartier diamond-studded women's watch through the window. He took the lead in walking into the store and asked the clerk to take it out for her to try on.

After wearing it, she found that it suited her well, so Su Yehao bought it without saying a word, not forgetting to add "Also a year-end bonus."

Yin Liuli wanted to say that the price of ninety thousand Hong Kong dollars was a bit expensive, but considering that he had just said something illogical like "It will be a pressure," she simply accepted it again.

Unable to afford a gift of similar price as a return gift, she was thinking of working harder next year to try to earn more money through the restaurant's cat café and tavern.

But considering that Su Yehao earned so much money in a year, the little income from her building wasn't even a fraction, Yin Liuli felt a little helpless again.

His achievements had already exceeded this woman's comprehension, and she couldn't even generate the idea of "helping him," after all, even most of the Hong Kong listed companies' annual profits couldn't compare to the income Su Yehao earned, his ability to attract money was really impressive.

Upstairs to the restaurant.

On New Year's Eve, there were very few customers choosing to eat Portuguese cuisine. The neighboring Chinese restaurant was packed.

As soon as the two sat down, Su Yehao received a call from Second Aunt, asking if he was going to have dinner.

The huge mansion was deserted and seemed quite pitiful, so Su Yehao agreed to go home later.

They ordered African chicken, red wine braised oxtail, shredded potato bacalhau, seafood risotto, and a soup. After explaining the situation to Yin Liuli, he asked the waiter to serve the dishes quickly, so they could finish eating and go home early.

Today was a family reunion dinner, Yin Liuli was already very satisfied, and cooperated by speeding up the pace of eating.

...

A little after eight o'clock that night.

Su Yehao returned to the Su family mansion in Panlong Villa and realized that the house wasn't deserted at all.

Second Aunt's relatives had come and had already started playing mahjong. His father had also called friends to play cards.

Thinking about it, it made sense. There were so many people who clung to the Su family, how could it be deserted during the holidays?

Since he was back, he couldn't just leave immediately.

Su Yehao received several red envelopes with New Year's money, all bulging, with at least ten thousand yuan each.

While watching others play mahjong, a thought suddenly popped into his head, and he thought of the fully automatic mahjong machines that would be common in the future.

As long as the price was right and the quality was good, if this thing was handed over to Meidi Group to produce, there would definitely be no shortage of market...
