Right, the Cat and Mouse Game was over, they had successfully escaped and celebrated their newfound freedom.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out his watch, and when he saw his points, he bounced up in excitement.
"Five thousand points! Damn, I’ve never been this rich before!"
Bai Lu was also very excited.
"Who would’ve thought that after being at the bottom for so long, we’d still get to be second to last in our lifetime."
Yu Li chuckled, "We have Jiang Li to thank for this."
Seeing everyone sing Jiang Li’s praises as if they were blowing rainbow bubbles, Jiang Cheng at the back couldn’t help but glance at his watch and then cracked a smile.
"Sister, since I can’t use these points, why not give them all to you? That way, you can handle them."
Hearing this, Bai Lu joined in, "Yeah, yeah, I have no use for so many points either, so I’ll transfer them all to you. Then you can stay in first place and give Ji Yanbai a run for his money!"
With that said, everyone transferred their points to Jiang Li, and just like that, she knocked Ji Yanbai off his throne and became the new individual leader.
Jiang Yan was dumbfounded.
His points hadn’t even had time to settle?!
Was there really a need to compete ?!
However, the next second, Bai Lu’s glance swept over him.
"Jiang Yan, you are Lili’s real brother, why aren’t you taking any initiative?"
"Yeah, yeah." Jiang Cheng imitated, "After all, sister calls the shots at home."
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. So Jiang Yan doesn’t have much of a say at home either.]
[Seriously speechless, to think he was boasting on Weibo that his word was law at home, turns out it’s all fake!]
Left without a choice, Jiang Yan also transferred his points to Jiang Li with tears in his eyes.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan, who had suddenly lost ten thousand points, erupted into a fierce roar.
"Jiang Li! What have you done?! How could we lose a third of our points in just ten minutes?!"
Those were ten thousand points!
Jiang Li seemed unconcerned, "Just exchanged for a few things?"
"Just? A few? What on earth costs ten thousand??"
The next second, He Pingzhang’s call came through.
Jiang Li answered with a beaming smile, "Director He."
On the other end, He Pingzhang also showed a genuine smile, "Miss Jiang, congratulations are in order, now that you’re in the lead, very impressive."
"Thank you, Director He." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"But are you sure you want to exchange for those items? It might take some time to transport them; you might have to wait."
"No rush, Director He."
Pei Ye, who was also packing up nearby, pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation, then turned to Zhao Lang.
"Don’t you think Miss Jiang’s attitude towards Assistant He is quite special?"
Zhao Lang looked over at Jiang Li, who was on the phone, "No, why do you say that?"
"Though Miss Jiang is amiable and approachable to everyone, she keeps a polite distance from most. But have you noticed how relaxed she is when talking to Assistant He?"
Pei Ye might not have mentioned it, but once he did, Zhao Lang indeed felt something was off.
When did she ever speak with such a tone to someone unimportant?
When did her words become so plentiful?
When had she laughed so heartily again?
Zhao Lang suddenly felt something was amiss and slowly inched over.
Just as Jiang Li, who was chatting back and forth with He Pingzhang, turned around, she was startled by Zhao Lang’s face looming close.
Zhao Lang straightened up and cleared his throat, "I actually have something to discuss with you. To express our gratitude, Pei Ye and I have decided to treat you to a meal. You don’t have to worry about lunch; it’s on us."
Where did he get the points to treat people to a meal?
Jiang Li didn’t hesitate at all and nodded, "Okay."
Being treated to a meal was great, as it could help save some points.
The very next second, Zhao Lang produced a piece of paper from nowhere.
"Anyone allergic to ginger?"
"What about lamb, any allergies to that?"
She looked at Zhao Lang irritably, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Nothing," Zhao Lang smiled amiably and then promptly ended the call on Jiang Li’s watch, "After all, this is the first meal ashore; we have to prepare it properly. Let’s sit down and discuss in detail. If someone has dietary restrictions, it would be a waste of points, wouldn’t it?"
Jiang Li found him rather baffling.
But since a sponsor was willing to treat them to a meal, Jiang Li decided to suppress this perplexing feeling.
He Pingzhang, who had heard the whole process, "..."
Had Gu Yu always been using such a silly method to flirt?
No wonder there had been no progress for so long.
True to his word, Zhao Lang spent the remaining half of his points to exchange for a luxurious barbecue set meal.
Even the beef included was M9 level marbled meat.
When the meal was delivered, Bai Lu’s eyes lit up.
"Is this something we can eat on the island?"
"Be confident," Shang Shuyue said, "We are number one now. Why couldn’t we eat it?"
"But..." Bai Lu cautiously inched forward, "But this was all paid for by that guy named Gu Yu, right? Although we saved him, he doesn’t need to be this nice to us, does he?"
Others might not see clearly, but Shang Shuyue knew very well.
Gu Yu wasn’t trying to pay back a life-saving favor; he clearly had his eyes on Jiang Li!
She had been observing these past few days. Gu Yu, for ten out of the twenty-four hours a day, had his eyes on Jiang Li; he definitely had feelings for her.
Luckily, so far, he hadn’t done anything inappropriate. Although his hair color was a bit exaggerated and his handsomeness slightly unreliable, he was otherwise okay.
After all, on the island, it’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
With that in mind, Shang Shuyue didn’t expose this fact but coughed and said, "Maybe he’s just being grateful. Since someone is willing to treat us to a meal, let’s just enjoy it. Why worry about so much?"
The barbecue was personally handled by Gu Yu.
But Yu Li couldn’t bear to watch and quietly began to help.
The livestream viewers were impressed.
[What status allows the grandson of the richest man to personally barbecue for them!]
[Blessed are you, Sister Li, for having eaten the barbecue made by the richest man’s grandson. I’m Sister Li’s fan, which is practically like I’ve tasted it too.]
[Help, do all of Jiang Li’s fans eat this well? Is it too late to join the fan club now?!]
However, in Jiang Yan’s eyes, Zhao Lang’s actions were nothing but brown-nosing.
After all, they were now ranked first on the whole island; cozying up to them with a meal was definitely worthwhile.
