With a CD player, Yang Yajing returned to her old business and started selling pirated CDs.

These days, not many people own a CD player. A genuine CD costs over a hundred yuan, while a pirated one costs over ten yuan.

These discs hadn't been released on cassette tapes yet, which gave Yang Yajing a chance to earn a little pocket money.

Saying it's just a small profit is because for Yang Yajing now, a few hundred or a thousand is really just small change.

However, she wouldn't miss an opportunity to make money, especially since her past experience told her that this "small business" was also a good way to make friends.

Chen Jiaoyun still keeps in touch with her old classmates. Most of them now have telephones, and with her constant promotion, Yang Yajing has earned even more money.

As she sold DVDs among her classmates, Jin Yiyi had a reason to gossip.

Previously, when she said Yang Yajing liked to take advantage of others, no one believed her. But these past few days, when she brought it up again, she seemed to have "factual basis."

Even with "factual evidence," everyone still chose to ignore it, which Jin Yiyi couldn't understand!

"Trying to please others while still trying to collect money from them, they're so poor they're obsessed with money!" Jin Yiyi seized the opportunity to comment as she saw someone hand Yang Yajing ten yuan again.

"No, no!" Yang Yajing wasn't annoyed at all. She shook her finger and grinned at Jin Yiyi, "This humble lady is doing business!"

"You're really something, making a few dollars' worth of business!" Jin Yiyi scoffed.

"Yeah!" Yang Yajing looked at the classmate who gave her the money with a mischievous expression. "It's only a few dollars, a thankless job, and people will gossip about it. Should I just quit?"

"Hey! Don't!" Seeing Yang Yajing flick the ten-yuan note in her hand, the classmate quickly told her to hold it still. "Ignore her, I really want that cassette tape! I can't buy it, please help me?"

"Everyone's spreading rumors that I took advantage of my classmates!" Yang Yajing glanced at Jin Yiyi.

Jin Yiyi held her head high and squinted at Yang Yajing with disdain.

"Hey! Jin Yiyi!" The classmate disliked her expression and was afraid that others would have copies while he wouldn't be able to get one because of her words. He wanted to curse inwardly, "When I bought the cassette tape, did you contribute money or effort?"

"Huh?" Jin Yiyi, who's not quite right in the head, said, "Why should I pay for the cassette tapes? Are you crazy?"

"I think you're the one who's sick!" The classmate glared at Jin Yiyi. "I'm the one who paid for it, and Yang Yajing is the one who did the work... You didn't contribute any money or effort, so what's the point of your talk?"

The student who spoke was named Guan Yue, and he was also quite sharp-tongued. According to Yang Yajing's memories from her previous life, this person would become a newspaper commentator, with his own online forum dedicated to criticizing the various aspects of human nature.

In her previous life, Yang Yajing and Guan Yue had no interaction. Guan Yue, on the other hand, wrote a lot of critical gossip about the Jiang family and almost got into a lawsuit. Later, due to the oppression of the Jiang family, he was sidelined for a long time before being reinstated.

In this life, Yang Yajing felt that she could provide him with some resources in the future, and ideally, make him strong enough to avoid being sidelined.

She didn't want to miss any of the people who could stand against the Jiang family.

"You're the one who's sick! She's making money off you! And you're giving it to her so readily!" Jin Yiyi retorted.

"Hey Jin Yiyi!" Guan Yue was dumbfounded by her logic. "Have you ever been to the cafeteria? The convenience store? The shopping mall?"

"What does this have to do with this?" Jin Yiyi didn't know why Guan Yue was asking her these questions.

"If you go to the cafeteria and want to eat, do you think you can get a meal without paying? If you go to buy something and think you can just take it and leave without paying, won't the cops come after you?" Guan Yue rolled his eyes. "I'm buying something from Yang Yajing! Don't I have to pay?"

At this moment, Pang Yan walked in from outside the classroom with Jiang Xuanxuan by her arm. Hearing Guan Yue arguing with Jin Yiyi, she asked Jin Yiyi what was wrong.

Knowing why, she said, "Talking about money between good classmates is too hurtful, isn't it? If Brother Guan wants a CD, Xuanxuan can just have someone send it to him."

"Exactly!" Jin Yiyi's confidence immediately surged. "Our Xuanxuan would never ask anyone for money indiscriminately!"

"Ask someone to help? Send it?" Guan Yue scoffed. "Ask someone to help is owing a favor. If you owe someone a favor, do you have to repay it? If you don't repay it, aren't you taking advantage of them? Besides, can you even get it? If you could, what would Yang Yajing have to do with it?"

"What do you mean by taking advantage? Does our Xuanxuan need to take advantage? She's very generous!" Jin Yiyi was uncomfortable.

"Oh..." Guan Yue looked Jin Yiyi up and down. "So you got this dress from Jiang Xuanxuan? So you're the one who likes to take advantage of others! We exchange money for goods, why are you making such a fuss? Or is it because you couldn't get a good deal from Yang Yajing, so you're resorting to slander?"

"You!" Jin Yiyi didn't know how to retort, and finally shouted angrily, her face red, "We're best friends exchanging gifts, what's it to you?"

"Oh! Well, we brothers should keep our accounts straight, it's none of your business!" Guan Yue glared at Jin Yiyi. "Go cool off somewhere else! Don't meddle!"

"Watch your mouth! Who are you calling a dog?!" Jin Yiyi got angry again.

"Whoever barks randomly is the one to blame!" Guan Yue wasn't one to be trifled with either. "Besides, instead of wasting time barking here, you should study your Chinese properly and stop trying to fit every metaphor into your own mind! Wait until you can pass your exams before you start talking!"

Jin Yiyi was about to say something when Pang Yan stopped her: "Don't bother arguing with a rude, uncouth person who doesn't know how to cherish women. It's beneath you!"

"Tenderly pity a beautiful woman? Heh!" Guan Yue chuckled mischievously again. "I can't bear to waste your fragrance! It just makes me want to sneeze! Please, have pity on us poor souls with allergic rhinitis!"
