This sudden assist made Josie beam with joy, and she nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes, what Ryan said is right!!”
While echoing, Josie couldn’t help but cast an admiring glance at Ryan, silently marveling: Ryan, you’re simply deserving of the highest praise!! A new week is here, data is very important, seeking recommendations, monthly tickets, and rewards!!! All bosses, please support a bit.
Jacob smiled; this little brother, who only had three levels of pressure, was surprisingly good at comforting people.
However, he believed that at this moment, Ryan’s words came from the heart.
After finishing the meal, the little brother Ryan took the initiative to pay the bill.
“Mr. Jacob, this meal doesn’t count as me treating you; I can only invite you next time.”
Ryan paying the bill gave Josie another reason to invite Jacob.
“Hmm, let’s plan for another time.”
Jacob nodded perfunctorily; phrases like “if there’s a chance” or “if there’s time” were just empty promises.
Listening to their conversation, Ryan realized that this meal was originally meant to be treated by Josie. He speculated that this delivery guy must have helped Josie with something.
“Mr. Jacob, it’s only a little past three; let’s shop a bit more, it won’t affect you picking up the kids,” Josie glanced at her watch and said.
“Hmm, that works.”
“I was just thinking of buying a few outfits for my daughter; you and Layla can help me pick.”
The kindergarten let out at four-thirty, and it only took about fifteen minutes to drive from Buzzville City, so there was plenty of time.
“Sure, I particularly like little girls; sometimes, I think it would be nice to have a daughter!” Josie seized the opportunity to express her feelings.
Jacob smiled without saying a word; this woman was clearly trying to take advantage of him.
Due to the precedent set by Karen, he had a psychological resistance to such women. However, if it could develop into an NPC relationship, he wouldn’t mind using the other party as a tool for rewards.
After all, Josie had a decent appearance and figure; although she was materialistic, at least she was open about it.
Women wanting to be with you must have some ulterior motive, whether it’s for money or looks. Jacob, a 35-year-old man, believed he had little to offer in terms of looks, so it was reasonable for her to be after money.
Through the conversation between Jacob and Josie, Ryan, the little brother, grasped another key piece of information: this delivery guy was not only old, poor, unemployed, and divorced, but he also had a daughter! This negative buff was completely maxed out! He suddenly felt a bit ridiculous; he had thought that this delivery guy was a suitor of Layla when they had coincidentally met at 5-Stars.
If this delivery guy had a mirror, he wouldn’t have such thoughts! After completely ruling out the possibility of being a competitor, Ryan felt much better and worked hard to liven up the atmosphere while shopping.
However, after visiting two children’s clothing stores, he felt a bit speechless.
Jacob, who had promised to buy clothes for his daughter, hadn’t spent a single cent, while Josie and Layla each bought two outfits for this delivery guy’s daughter.
Ryan looked at Jacob and couldn’t help but complain in his heart: Although you’re poor, is it really okay to take advantage of these beautiful women?
In fact, Jacob felt quite helpless; he hadn’t intended for the two women to spend money, but they had secretly settled the bill.
Josie’s reasoning was to express her apologies, while Layla expressed her gratitude.
Ding! Random task triggered: [The Rich Man’s Reward]
Spring planting a grain of millet, autumn harvests a thousand seeds.
Let those who willingly invest in you feel the joy of harvest! Task content:
Layla and Josie’s spending amount will be rewarded a hundredfold.
Task rewards:
Learning Card * 15, 5x Spending Cashback Card * 1 Just as Jacob was thinking about buying a few outfits for the two women as a return gift, the system notification suddenly rang.
Jacob had already gotten used to the occasional system notifications, but he still brightened up when he heard about the rewards.
The 5x spending cashback card was a money-making tool; he had previously obtained a 10x one.
The “Learning Card” had appeared in Vienna’s task before, but it seemed he hadn’t had the chance to complete that task.
However, this time he had an opportunity!
The task content was a hundredfold return on spending, and Jacob silently calculated in his heart: Layla had spent a total of 536 dollars, and Josie had spent 552 dollars.
A hundredfold would be 53,600 dollars for one and 55,200 dollars for the other.
Adding them together was just under 110,000; he still had over 200,000 in his bank account, so that was enough.
