It took them quite a while to come to their senses.

Zhao Qingya asked, "Are you sure you want all 36 million?"

Li Yi: "Of course, absolutely!"

Zhao Qingchun tugged at Li Yi's arm and said, "Sister, he's probably talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

Tomboy Xiao Yu: "Hehe, don't worry. Nobody takes what men say seriously."

Li Yi: "I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me? I never lie!"

Tomboy Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then you'll have to pay first and then receive the goods."

Li Yi: "No problem! Qingya, what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

Zhao Qingya paused for a moment, then said, "Classmate, I know you mean well. However, this is my art exhibition, so please don't cause trouble. Qingchun, take him away! I don't want to see him again."

Clearly, Zhao Qingya felt that Li Yi was deliberately exaggerating and putting on airs; she had seen many people like that before.

Thirty-six million, is that something a college student like you can come up with?

Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big?

Zhao Qingchun said, "Li Yi, let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Li Yi not only didn't leave, but instead pointed at Zhao Qingya's nose and started scolding her.

"Zhao Qingya, what are you pretending for? You look sunny, confident, beautiful, and generous, but what are you so insecure about deep down? You have absolutely no confidence! I already told you that I bought these paintings for 36 million, but you yourself think they're not worth that price! With your insecurity, you still want to become a famous painter? Dream on!? I think you should just give up on holding exhibitions and close down as soon as possible!"

Zhao Qingya: "??????"

Zhao Qingya was stunned, not expecting to be scolded by Li Yi.

However, she had to admit that Li Yi was right to reprimand her; she was indeed a little insecure.

What's wrong with a student?

Can't a painting sell for tens of millions?

Who made that rule?

To become a top painter, one must indeed be confident.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingya's favorability towards Li Yi increased rather than decreased.

[Target Zhao Qingya: Affection +5]

[Target Zhao Qingya: Affection +5]

[Current favorability -20 points.]

After receiving the system notification in his mind, Li Yi looked up and saw that Zhao Qingya's favorability rating, which was floating above her head, had indeed increased by 10 points. Previously it was -30 points, and now it is -20 points.

Depend on!

Is this woman sick?

Could he have masochistic tendencies?

My brother gave her a good scolding, and surprisingly, her affection for me increased!

Thinking of this, Li Yi pointed at Zhao Qingya's nose again and cursed, "I hate insecure people the most. You don't even have the courage to give me your bank account number, I look down on you!"

After saying that, Li Yi turned and left, leaving Zhao Qingya and the others with a dashing back view.

Zhao Qingya: "??????"

Zhao Qingya was stunned. She couldn't figure out whether this person actually had that much money to buy it.

Or is he really just putting on an act?

The sleazy old man was furious: "Damn it! This kid is too cunning, he showed off and then ran away!"

Tomboy Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Qingya, give him the card number and see where he's going to scrape together 36 million! He's trying to put on airs, we have to slap him in the face in public!"

Zhao Qingya also came to her senses and jogged after him, saying, "Classmate, don't go! I'll sell these paintings to you for 36 million! I'll transfer the money to your bank account right now!"

Li Yi pretended not to hear and continued walking forward.

Zhao Qingchun was stunned. What on earth were her sister and this scumbag up to?

Zhao Qingya quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Yi, and said, "Classmate, please wait."

Li Yi stopped, turned around, looked at Zhao Qingya, and said, "What? Feeling confident now? Have you thought it through?"

Zhao Qingya: "I'll give you the card number right now."

Li Yi, however, put on airs and said, "Don't tell me I have a bad memory, I won't remember even if you tell me."

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Zhao Qingya became anxious and said, "Okay, I'll add you on WeChat. I'll send you my bank card number!"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright!"

Li Yi took out his phone and opened the WeChat QR code.

Zhao Qingya opened WeChat and scanned the QR code to add Li Yi on WeChat.

Zhao Qingchun watched from the side, her eyes wide with surprise.

Good heavens!

Li Yi, that scumbag, scolded my sister and exaggeratedly claimed he would buy all the paintings for 36 million. With such a despicable tactic, he actually got my sister to add him on WeChat.

The thought of giving Li Yi a massage at the hotel made Zhao Qingchun's face flush.

After Zhao Qingya added Li Yi on WeChat, she indeed sent him her bank card account number.

Li Yi didn't hold back either; if you're going to show off, you have to do it perfectly.

Everyone else was waiting to see what would happen, and they all crowded around.

Within about a minute, all twenty-odd people who were still at the art exhibition gathered around.

Tomboy Xiao Yu said, "Alright, now that you have a bank card number, go ahead and transfer the money!"

The balding, sleazy old man said, "Young man, keep pretending. Let's see how you're going to smooth things over."

Zhao Qingchun glared at Li Yi, as if to say, "Now let's see what you're going to do."

Everyone around was looking at Li Yi.

Li Yi calmly opened his phone and immediately transferred money to Zhao Qingya.

"Beep! Your bank card ending in 8998 has received a transfer of 36 million yuan!"

The next moment, Zhao Qingya's phone rang with the sound of a transfer being credited to her account.

Did they really transfer 36 million?

Zhao Qingya opened her phone and saw, holy crap, her balance.
