《Quest-based Magnate》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Time is cruel. In the blink of an eye, I am already thirty years old. However, I have accomplished nothing! [Host detected. System loading.] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine Tycoon System. System loading complete.

The notification of the bank card being transferred sounded. Cao Su took out the Xiaomi 1S phone from his pocket and glanced at the text message. His right hand trembled uncontrollably, and the disposable paper cup in his hand fell on the carpet in the pantry. The emotions surged like a tsunami, making him feel a little dizzy. It was really 1 billion! This¡­ It was simply like a dream; ecstatic! He wanted to scream to the joy in his heart! People would only understand when they entered society: Money was very important! It could not do everything, but it could do many things. Now that they were in a modern society and a peaceful era, a real man should never lack money! The water dispenser, coffee machine, and table in the pantry seemed to have become unreal in Cao Su¡¯s eyes. ¡°Brother Cao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The tall boy who was standing not far from Cao Su, smoking a cigarette and looking at the scenery outside the glass window, turned around and asked. Cao Su took a deep breath and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± He picked up the white paper cup and threw it into the trash can. ¡°Shen Mingze, if you have 100 million, what will you do next?¡± Shen Mingze was 25 years old this year, five years younger than Cao Su. He was a testing engineer and Cao Su¡¯s basketball buddy. He let out a breath of smoke. He smiled and said, ¡°Is there a need to ask? I¡¯d go on dates with young models from the club every day! I heard that the nightclubs in Shencheng are very nice. I haven¡¯t even seen a prostitute before.¡± ¡°Guan City next door is famous for its service throughout the country. Without money, I¡¯ve become a good person.¡± He treated it as a joke. Who could get 100 million out of thin air? This was impossible! Cao Su laughed when he heard that. Which man didn¡¯t have the idea of sensual pleasures? Little Shen was planning to go to Guangdong Province to find prostitutes until he lost contact with them! What about him? He had 1 billion at the start! How about this vulgar routine on a daily basis, then? He was also a layman! He liked what Master Ji had written in his diary: The biggest dream of my life is¡­ It was a modern society and a peaceful era. Most of a man¡¯s ambition and sense of conquest could only be realized in business. Of course, there was also the beauty. Cao Su suppressed the surging emotions in his heart that had slightly calmed down. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Go back to the meeting.¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll go back and listen to Yu Meifu f*ck~¡± The two of them walked out of the brightly lit pantry and walked to Conference Room 3 at the end of the corridor. Cao Su, a native of Qianzhou, Jiangxi Province, was 30 this year. It had been eight years since he finished university in Jiangzhou, the capital of Chu Province, and then worked in Shencheng. He was currently working in the mobile phone product department of the digital electronic products division of Da Lan Corporation. This was his second job after graduation. In August 2013, smartphone adoption experienced a boom, and the entire market was in full swing. China Cool Alliance, which made branded mobile phones for operators, made a windfall. Da Lan Corporation, which was based in Hui City, rushed into the field without hesitation. The sales of its mobile phone brand, ¡°LE,¡± were quite good. The group¡¯s industrial park in Nanshan, Shencheng, gathered manufacturing, research and development, product, sales, and other departments. Cao Su worked on the campus of Da Lan Corporation. Cao Su and his colleague, Shen Mingze, walked into the utilitarian-looking Conference Room 3 with bright windows and sat at the oval conference table. More and more colleagues came in, and the project summary that had just been interrupted continued. This was an internal review meeting for a failed cell phone project to summarize mistakes and experiences. Cao Su represented the art design team in the product department. However, Cao Su was not in the mood to listen to what the project manager, Yu Ping, was saying. He was paying attention to the ace up his sleeve, the Divine Tycoon System! This was the turning point of his mediocre, ordinary life. The text message from Shencheng Commercial Bank dispelled most of his doubts. He was eager to check the details of the system in his mind. A normal person¡¯s heart would beat between 60 to 100 beats per minute. Take the middle value of 80 per minute, which was a total of 100800 times in 24 hours a day, and his daily income from the system would be about 1,000 yuan. After conversion, he would earn 30,000 yuan a month! And this amount was completely small compared to the initial 1 billion. Obviously, he should try his best to raise the system¡¯s level before the one billion was spent. Otherwise, would he need to eat dirt after spending one billion? However, the complexities of life couldn¡¯t be ignored! A single thirty-year-old man had all kinds of worries and anxieties¡ªwork, physical, family, etc. Amongst them, the weakening of his body was the most vivid feeling. He had been practicing traditional arts for a long time, and his figure was slightly out of shape. Walking 10 kilometers was simply too much! In short, if he didn¡¯t go through some training, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to persist. It was urgent to train his body. Then, the second question was, how should he spend the 1 billion yuan? This was really a good question that he had never thought of before! Just as Cao Su was distracted, Yu Ping, the senior manager sitting in the middle of the oval conference table, scolded the project team members for half an hour before announcing, ¡°That¡¯s all for today¡¯s review. Cao Su from the art design team, please stay behind.¡± The colleagues in the meeting room quickly left. Everyone understood what was going on. If a project failed, there had to be retribution. Old Cao was 30 this year. He was hardworking, calm, and honest. Being laid off was also in line with the company¡¯s requirement for a younger team. Even if the company died, he would not die. Yu Ping gulped down the water, recovering from the energy she had spent in the meeting. She was thirty-two years old and of medium build. She was wearing a white shirt and a black dress. She had fair skin and tender flesh. She was a beautiful young woman. Separated by the large oval conference table, Yu Ping glanced at Cao Su, who was slightly stunned, with contempt. In her eyes, he was a good-for-nothing. He had no money and no ability. After five years of working, he was still an ordinary employee. Although he was tall, his appearance was ordinary. She would not even look at such a man when looking for prey. Yu Ping tidied up the documents beside her and said casually, ¡°Cao Su, the TD0017 project failed. As the project manager, I bear the main responsibility. Someone has to be responsible for the employees who have been transferred from various departments. ¡°I¡¯ll resign!¡± Cao Su looked at the beautiful but vicious female supervisor in front of him. For a moment, he could not raise his interest in arguing with her. The art design team was mainly responsible for the icons and pictures of the phone interface. However, the product manager was the one who made the final decision for the phone project. If a product project failed, the blame would go to the art designer. This was indeed a bizarre way of thinking. In the end, Yu Ping was just bullying him for being ¡°honest!¡± The promotion was not necessarily based on ability in a private enterprise like the Da Lan Group, which was huge and had complicated shares. It had a robust state-owned style. They worked diligently, did not please their superiors, and did not talk about the corporate culture in their daily work. Many times, they would be labeled as ¡°honest.¡± But that was his personality. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t know how to get promoted¡ªhe had to suck up to the managers and ministers, eagerly being their lackey. He had seen a lot in the past five years¡ªhow many of the younger employees of the company climbed up the ranks. However, there had to be some untimely pride in his heart! A man¡¯s life depends on diligence, faith, benevolence, and righteousness. Even in adversity, they had to bend their bodies and wait for the right time! How could he bend his knee and serve others? ¡°Yu Ping, I will write the resignation letter, but I¡¯m not responsible for the failure of the project. I want to leave!¡± Cao Su glanced at Yu Ping, who had a mocking expression on her face. He closed his laptop and stood up, saying calmly, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try.¡± He knew that Yu Ping despised him. Wasn¡¯t he just trying to protect his last bit of pitiful self-esteem? ¡®However, why should I explain my actions to you?¡¯ The first one billion yuan. Would he postpone his resignation and continue to work at 99 because of Yu Ping, a mere senior manager? The time had come, and it was time to soar and soar into the sky. How could he continue to suppress his aspirations and stay here? However, just because he didn¡¯t explain didn¡¯t mean that he would allow Yu Ping to damage his ¡°reputation.¡± He would never accept leaving as a ¡°loser.¡± He couldn¡¯t leave such a stain on his life record. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s have a competition.¡± Yu Ping looked at Cao Su, who was walking towards the conference room door with firm steps. She realized this ¡°honest man¡± seemed slightly different from before. There seemed to be something more about him that she could not explain. She probed, ¡°Cao Su, what do you mean?¡± Cao Su held the door handle and turned around. ¡°Yu Ping, isn¡¯t cheating while you¡¯re married immoral? I¡¯ll treat Shen Mingze at the bar tonight.¡± Yu Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Cao Su¡¯s back, she laughed disdainfully.

Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The news that Yu Ping, the project manager, would probably fire Cao Su, spread like wildfire among a small group of colleagues who went back to the conference. Cao Su came out of the conference room on the third floor. He did not return to his workstation on the fifth floor but went downstairs first. The industrial park of Da Lan Group covered dozens of acres. The wide roads in the park were lined with trees, surrounding the factory and the seven-story office building like a garden. Cao Su lit a cigarette under the shade of a tree beside the product department building. He first used his phone to transfer 500,000 yuan to his family¡¯s card. He had to send money back every month. His family had worked hard to support him through college, so he would definitely have to support them when he earned. He was the eldest son, after all. After the transfer, Cao Su called his mother. After explaining to his mother for more than ten minutes, he transferred 100,000 yuan to his sister, Cao Yun, who was in her second year in Beijing. He informed her through WeChat that he was going to be able to get through. He returned to the office building in a good mood. After settling down at home without any worries, the next step was to change his own life! Cao Su had just walked into the office area on the fifth floor when he saw the beautiful Su Qing, a junior at Sun Yat-sen University who was interning at the product experience department next door, stand up and walk towards the door. She was wearing an elegant and exquisite black short-sleeved embroidered T-shirt paired with a high-waisted light gray dress, revealing her exquisite curves. The white stockings decorated her round and straight calves under the skirt. She walked over in high heels, looking elegant and beautiful. She was 1.62 meters tall, and her curvy figure was well-proportioned. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her face was simply exquisite! The 21-year-old girl was the most beautiful scenery on the fifth floor! Ever since she came to intern for more than ten days, all the male colleagues in the park knew about her beauty. Countless men had wet dreams about her every night. If Cao Su slowed down, he could greet her face-to-face. He was a senior employee, so Su Qing, an intern, would definitely respond to his greeting. However, Cao Su did not stop. Instead, he walked toward his seat. How could a thirty-year-old single man not be a philanderer? Cough cough, the sentence was crossed out and rewritten. How could he not like beautiful women? However, the problem now was, how could he, who was just an ordinary person, tell the girl that he was close to her? Show her his bank balance? Transfer a ton of money through AliPay? This was very low, not something a mature man would do. First, he had to dress up and take care of himself. Clothes made the man, and gold maketh the Buddha. Of course, he had to keep a low profile and not look like some wealthy inheritor. He already had an answer in his heart as to how to spend the one billion yuan. First, it was bottom-line thinking. He planned to invest 500 million in fixed assets. To be precise, it would be in a house. It was obvious that the housing prices in Shencheng would rise for a long time to come. With the remaining 500 million, he planned to spend 200 million on shopping and improving his life. The remaining 300 million would be used used to start a business. As the saying went: become bigger and stronger, and create more glory! The distribution of the funds was probably related to his personality and age. When a person reached thirty, he had a clear understanding of the rules of society. He didn¡¯t need to try to enter different circles like a 20-year-old would. In today¡¯s society, only those with a career and social status could live comfortably and enjoy life to their heart¡¯s content. It was not enough to just have money. He had to turn money into influence! He had to go out later to do his shopping and improve his life. He first filled in the resignation application form in the office system. Cao Su had just arrived at his workstation when the young colleague sitting behind him turned around and casually instructed, ¡°Old Cao, there are a few projects that you need to follow. I just transferred it to you through the UA system.¡± Cao Su patted the back of the chair of this young man called ¡°Zhan Baiyu¡± and said indifferently: ¡°Keep it for yourself!¡± This kid was used to throwing work he didn¡¯t want to do to him! However, if he went to the supervisor, most of the work would still be assigned to him. Being rejected, Zhan Baiyu¡¯s expression immediately changed. Damn it, what kind of attitude is this? He looked at Cao Su unhappily and warned, ¡°Old Cao, these are very urgent projects. Brother Mei arranged them.¡± The head of the art department was called Mei Qian. Cao Su glanced at him coldly and ignored the young man. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He skillfully typed the password and opened the office system. Zhan Baiyu looked at Cao Su¡¯s back with a gloomy face. He turned back to his computer and reported to his supervisor, Mei Qian. Cao Su calmly filled out a resignation application form, clicked submit, and shut down his phone. He took out his wallet from the right-hand drawer and put it in his pocket. He picked up the key and stood up. The resignation process would take about a week. This resignation application form needed to be signed by his supervisor, department head, HR supervisor and its department head, the vice president in charge of the business department, and the president, before it could be transferred to the financial settlement. He would come to the company next week and settle his salary in the finance department. ¡°Old Cao, wait a moment. Let¡¯s go smoke a cigarette together.¡± Cao Su had barely taken two steps when he was stopped by Mei Qian, the head of the art design team. It was obvious that Zhan Baiyu had complained to the supervisor in the group¡¯s communication software, Pigeon Post. The head of the art department, who was in charge of more than twenty people, received a ton of emails every day. It was impossible for him to immediately notice his resignation application. Mei Qian was in his mid-thirties. He wore glasses and had a well-proportioned figure. He had worked in the Da Lan Corporation for eight years and was older than Cao Su. He was dressed decently in a striped business T-shirt with the hem tucked into his trousers. He and Cao Su went to the pantry on the fifth floor to smoke. The salary of all departments in the mobile phone business of Da Lan Corporation was very good, about 30% higher than the average level of the industry. As a supervisor, Mei Qian¡¯s annual income was about 500,000 yuan. ¡°Old Cao, what¡¯s going on? You¡¯re disheartened by Yu Ping¡¯s scolding?¡± Mei Qian smiled and handed Cao Su a cigarette. He was younger than the little ones who worked and was well-informed. He knew that Cao Su had been held back by the project supervisor and senior manager, Yu Ping. What this meant was self-evident. Cao Su lit up his cigarette and leaned against the long edge of the sink. He took a drag and smiled slightly as he said indifferently, ¡°If Yu Ping blames me for the failure of the project, she will pay a heavy price!¡± Mei Qian was smiling on the surface, but in his heart, he was f*cking mad. He did not think much of Cao Su¡¯s ¡°ruthless words.¡± How can an ordinary employee like him make Manager Yu pay the price? Didn¡¯t she know that CEO Qi highly valued her? In the workplace, a beautiful woman would never know how many men she¡¯d have. So why say such harsh stuff in the first place? Honestly speaking, he actually never thought much of Cao Su. When it came to work, he was indeed diligent, hardworking, and guaranteed quality and quantity. However, the upper limit of his ability was just like that. He didn¡¯t have that extra sparkle that could make anyone notice him. Moreover, Cao Su was a little arrogant and was not usually close to him, the supervisor. Therefore, every year, he would give away his own promotion opportunities to his trusted subordinates. He was being polite now because he wanted to ¡°squeeze out¡± Cao Su from his last bit of work energy. After all, if a diligent and honest person were to be ¡°fired,¡± the workload of the others on the team would be huge. He was sure that he could handle Cao Su. ¡°Old Cao, you¡¯re a senior employee of the company. Everyone has seen what you¡¯ve done for the company over the years. If Yu Ping puts you at the bottom of the elimination list, I will be the first to disagree.¡± He could only listen to this kind of nonsense. Did he think he was a three-year-old child? What¡¯s the use of not agreeing? Yu Ping¡¯s authority was equivalent to that of the head of the product department. Cao Su casually tapped off the ash from his cigarette and said perfunctorily, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°What are you thanking me for?¡± With a cigarette between his fingers, Mei Qian struck while the iron was hot.¡±Old Cao, can you take a look at the work that Little Zhan transferred to you later? He¡¯s young and doesn¡¯t know how to speak. Don¡¯t lower yourself to his level!¡± Cao Su could not help but laugh. Forgive him for not being able to control his anger well enough. He really couldn¡¯t help it. ¡°Xiao Mei, you have to know when to stop!¡± she said sarcastically as she glanced at Mei Qian. You don¡¯t need me to teach you this, do you? Didn¡¯t you see the resignation application I just submitted?¡± This b*stard! So she came to talk nonsense because she wanted him to work overtime! Who the f*ck are you calling Xiao Mei? Mei Qian was extremely happy, but when he heard that Cao Su had already submitted his resignation application, the joy immediately dissipated! Yu Ping wanted Cao Su to resign as an explanation for the failure of the project. And Cao Su had just said that if Yu Ping dared to take advantage of him, he would make Yu Ping pay the price. In the end, he had already submitted his resignation! ¡®Damn it, so you¡¯re having fun!¡¯ Mei Qian tried to persuade him in annoyance. ¡°Old Cao, the decision for Yu Ping¡¯s project review hasn¡¯t been released yet. I¡¯ll go and fight for it for you now. She¡¯ll still have to stand guard for the last shift. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Cao Su sneered and extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. He asked bluntly, ¡°You can do it? Bullshit! Please approve my resignation application as soon as possible!¡± With that, he left the pantry. Mei Qian stared blankly at Cao Su¡¯s tall and straight back as he disappeared outside the pantry. His face turned green and white at Cao Su¡¯s words. Just now, he felt that he could easily deal with this ¡®naive man¡¯ who was throwing a tantrum. Therefore, he and Cao Su only came to the pantry to smoke a cigarette instead of going to the conference room to talk in detail. This in itself was an act of contempt. He wanted to paint a big picture to give him hope, raise his status verbally, and allow him not to stoop to the level of a young man. A gentleman could deceive him with a square method and use rules and regulations to trap him. But Cao Su did not fall for his trick at all! Instead, he showed off his abilities! It was completely different from the image of the ¡°Honest Joe¡± he used to be. He was caught off guard. ¡°D*mn! This kid wants to resign. He¡¯s already letting himself go! Forget it. I won¡¯t lower myself to his level. Wasn¡¯t it because Yu Ping had taught him a lesson and forced him to resign? He didn¡¯t even dare to resist and obediently submitted his resignation.¡± Mei Qian consoled himself in his heart. With a dark expression, he returned to his desk and pulled out Cao Su¡¯s resignation application form. He clicked ¡°Approved.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The midday sun shone brightly on the quiet industrial park. Cao Su came out of the product department building with his wallet, keys, and phone. At this moment, Cao Su felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart. It was as if a thousand-pound boulder had been lifted from his shoulders, and it was also as if the net that bound his body and mind had been torn apart. His entire body and mind were unprecedentedly clear! Life, life, how many ordinary people¡¯s minds and interests were heavily suppressed! And from that moment on, he would get rid of the ¡°worldly life.¡± His future life had endless possibilities and excitement! Because he already had the freedom to make money and had the Divine Tycoon System! Cao Su walked on the sidewalk under the shade of a tree toward the entrance of the park. He felt that the noon sun was bright and aboveboard, melting all ghosts and monsters. It was as if a fresh flower had blossomed brightly, and it was also like a person at the peak of their youth! I¡¯ve been in Da Lan Corporation for five years, but I didn¡¯t notice such beautiful scenery! Cao Su sent Shen Mingze a WeChat message as he walked. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a drink tonight. I have something to talk to you about. Which bar do you often hang out at? Do you need to book a place in advance?¡± The fetters of work were gone. He still had to deal with the last bit of trouble before leaving Da Lan! It was almost time to get off work. Shen Mingze quickly replied: ¡°Brother Cao, we usually hang out at the White Maple. Just go there early.¡± The second message soon followed: ¡°Brother Cao, I don¡¯t know anything about Yu Ping. I just hear rumors from others.¡± Shen Mingze was very smart. He and Cao Su were football buddies and colleagues. However, their relationship was definitely not to the extent that Cao Su had to spend thousands of yuan to invite him to a bar before he left. He was present at the meeting in the morning. He didn¡¯t speak up for Cao Su at that time, did he? The two of them were not that close. Therefore, it was self-evident why Cao Su was here. When he was chatting with Cao Su, he mentioned that Yu Ping, this beautiful young woman, might look tough and cold, but she was actually very mischievous in private. She dated handsome guys in the company, and it was said that she was eloquent and flawless. ¡°I¡¯ll pay for the tab at the White Maple Bar tonight.¡± Just come over with your contact.¡± Shen Mingze thought about it and agreed. ¡°Alright then.¡± After deciding on the night¡¯s schedule, Cao Su¡¯s mind returned to the present. At this time, he had already reached the east gate of the industrial park of Da Lan Corporation. From the blue and white software building on the left, groups of engineers exited from time to time. Cao Su sent an invitation to his friend, Jiang Wenxuan, who worked in the software department. ¡°Old Jiang, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch at Shangye Western Restaurant. Do you have time?¡± Jiang Wenxuan also studied at Jiangzhou University. They were both in their thirties. After graduation, they entered Da Lan Corporation to work, and their lives were ordinary. After the two got to know each other, they talked about many things and liked to play football, so they became good friends. In fact, Da Lan Corporation went to Jiangzhou University every year for recruitment. There were many classmates in the electronics department who were in the same major as him. There were many classmates in the Pearl River Delta region. But this was how society worked. The rich had distant relatives in the mountains, while the poor had no one to turn to. He was under a lot of pressure and wasn¡¯t doing well, so he wasn¡¯t interested in attending the gathering. As time went by, he gradually distanced himself from his university classmates. There was a large commercial complex outside the east gate of the electronics industrial park of Da Lan Corporation. It had shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, commercial apartments, banks, and other facilities. There were more than 10,000 employees and production line workers in the entire industrial park. Although there were several canteens, supermarkets, and other living facilities there, consumer demand was still overflowing. Shangye Western Restaurant was located on the second floor of the Wanxiang Shopping Mall. The environment was elegant, and the light music was flowing. Cao Su sat down and drank tea. In less than ten minutes, Jiang Wenxuan came over under the guidance of a waiter. Jiang Wenxuan was plump and of medium height. He had short hair and a simple and amiable face. He wore a T-shirt with a pattern on it. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He hurriedly asked, ¡°Old Cao, your resignation is a little sudden! What happened?¡± Cao Su ordered a set meal for two and handed the menu to the waiter. He reached out his hand and gestured for Old Jiang to drink some water. ¡°I¡¯ve made a lot of money from investing in stocks recently, so I¡¯m ready for a change in environment.¡± Of course, it was different when he spoke to his friends and his family. Not long ago, he told his mother, Feng Silan that he had recently taken on a big design job for a mobile game. Jiang Wenxuan held the cup and said enviously, ¡°Wow, not bad! Come, cheers to your financial freedom.¡± He raised his glass. Cao Su smiled and raised his cup. ¡°We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows it.¡± Jiang Wenxuan felt a sense of parting in his heart and nodded. He and Old Cao weren¡¯t classmates, and their lives were intertwined with Da Lan. Once Old Cao resigned, the contact would become less and less, and eventually, it would be cut off, even if Old Cao was still in Shencheng. It would really be fate if they met again! As they spoke, the waiter served the dishes one after another. Cold appetizers, vegetable salad, grilled oyster, foie gras, mushroom soup, French tomato soup, spaghetti, two servings of pan-fried steak, and other exquisite dishes were served one after another. Jiang Wenxuan held his fork and fork and joked, ¡°If I had known, I would have eaten on an empty stomach.¡± Cao Su smiled. ¡°This meal is a group purchase package. No matter how much you eat, it costs the same!¡± The Thousand Group Battle had already come to an end in August 2013. Meituan, Dianping, Glutinous Rice, and a few others won. The discounts for group purchases were reduced. Today, the group purchase price of Shangye¡¯s set meal for two was 1888 yuan. Jiang Wenxuan chuckled and chatted about the past. Occasionally, he would glance at the news on his phone and pick up an oyster to eat. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said, ¡°Old Cao, look! Your 9 o¡¯clock, on the left aisle, there¡¯s the heartthrob of our company¡¯s patent department, Li Ruoyu!¡± Cao Su was now full of confidence. He turned to look at the left aisle and saw a tall and beautiful young woman wearing a light pink silk shirt and green slim trousers. She was elegantly walking towards a small round table covered with white tablecloth by the window. Her face was as fair as porcelain, her eyes were bright, and her face was gentle and beautiful. She was wearing high heels, and her slender waist swayed like a willow branch as she walked. Her voluptuous and graceful figure moved slowly, and her gentle and charming young woman¡¯s charm attracted the gazes of many people in the high-end western restaurant. Although Cao Su had worked in Da Lan Corporation for five years, he didn¡¯t know who the beautiful women in the other departments were. Now that she had caught a glimpse of her, she was indeed a great beauty. She had the figure, the face, and the charm. Top-grade! ¡°Did you see the man at her table?¡± Jiang Wenxuan whispered. ¡°He¡¯s the vice president of our digital electronics division, CEO Qi. You need him to sign your resignation letter. Hai, it¡¯s so cool for a man to have power and influence! He asked his wife out for lunch in the middle of the day.¡± Cao Su nodded in agreement. Indeed. You can¡¯t imagine the happiness of a rich person! He switched between sweet and salty at will. Of course, he could experience it for himself in the future. In the end, he almost spat out the soup when he heard the word ¡± wife.¡± F*ck! Damn it, I often seem out of place with you because I¡¯m not perverted enough! The appearance of the beautiful wife, Li Ruoyu, quickly changed the topic of conversation between Cao Su and Jiang Wenxuan. The feeling of parting faded. Life was like that. Things that could not be changed could only lie flat. After a while, the topic shifted to urging them to get married. This was a common topic among older single youths. ¡°Old Jiang, you went on a blind date in Shencheng last week. How did it go?¡± Jiang Wenxuan immediately sighed, full of complaints.¡±Sigh, don¡¯t bring it up. The woman asked for a house in Shencheng before she was willing to marry me. The pressure was huge! F*ck, if I don¡¯t get a girlfriend soon, my arm is going to become like the Hulk¡¯s at this rate!¡± Cao Su laughed as he ate the fruits after dinner and asked, ¡°How much is the downpayment? I¡¯ll lend the money to you. No interest. Just treat me to a meal.¡± Jiang Wenxuan shook his head and politely declined, ¡°Old Cao, thank you. I¡¯ll buy a remote location. If I really can¡¯t handle it, I¡¯ll ask you again.¡± He had his pride. Old Cao wanted to be friends with him, but he had to borrow his money to buy a house? This favor was too great. He was too ashamed to speak. Cao Su nodded with a smile and did not press on the matter. The fact that he and Old Jiang could become friends meant that their temperaments were indeed compatible. After the meal, Cao Su and Jiang Wenxuan shook hands and said goodbye in the square outside the central business district. Jiang Wenxuan took two steps and turned back to see Cao Su still watching him. He waved his hand. He sighed in his heart, thinking, ¡®Old Cao really is a very proud person!¡¯ In fact, at the end of the meal, someone in the Jiangzhou University of Technology¡¯s Alumni Group had just sent a message: This morning, Cao Su was asked to stay by the project manager, Yu Ping, for a chat. What this means is self-evident¡­ his dismissal. Cao Su had indeed submitted his resignation application this morning. ¡®This is completely different from what Old Cao said. I wish Old Cao all the best in life after he leaves his job!¡¯ Cao Su did not know what Jiang Wenxuan was thinking when he left. If he knew, he would probably not know whether to laugh or cry. He was focusing on his own matters. After lunch, he said goodbye to her friends in the company and no longer had any trivial matters to attend to. He took a taxi and went straight to Nanshan¡¯s most upscale shopping center, Seaside City. The first thing he did was change. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Seaside City was located in Shencheng Bay, across the sea from Hong Kong, and there were customs ports connecting them. This street was filled with top-tier office buildings, business centers, shopping centers, cultural venues, high-end apartments, and five-star hotels. It was the most prosperous commercial area in Nanshan. It took Cao Su more than 40 minutes to get here by taxi. The fare was 112 yuan. Before today, this was an unimaginable expense for him. Usually, he would take the bus or subway. Cao Su was unfamiliar with luxury goods. He had only heard of their names and had never used them before. Therefore, after arriving at Seaside City, he wandered around casually, completely depending on fate. He first bought a P6 that was released in June at the Huawei store on the first floor. It cost less than 3,000 yuan and was known as the world¡¯s thinnest smartphone. At present, domestic mobile phones only penetrated the mid-tier market. Foreign brands dominated the flagship market. Presently, Samsung was the king of the global mobile phone market. After getting his hands on a domestic phone, Cao Su went to the Apple store right across the street and bought a top-notch black iPhone 5. The 64GB version was priced at 6888 yuan. The iPhone¡¯s iOS operating system was as smooth as silk. He bought two sets of casual wear from Connelly, paired with shoes and belts, and spent a total of 183,000 yuan. At his age, he wasn¡¯t suited to wear the fashion brand HBA, which had become popular last year. When he passed by an LV store, he went in and bought a wallet, a men¡¯s business bag, and a casual backpack. He spent 230,000. He swiped his card and put all his belongings and old clothes into his backpack. In terms of men¡¯s bags alone, the main sales range of an LV item was around 20,000 to 30,000. It was a little expensive to spend over 200,000 yuan on three bags. However, he was now rich, so why would he care about value for money? It was fine as long as they looked good and felt comfortable. When he came out, he saw a watch shop. Cao Su went in to buy a watch. This store sold the top-notch watch brand, Vacheron Constantin. There was no provocation from the legendary touts, no rudeness from the salespeople. Everything was peaceful. After a brief chat, the female salesperson brought Cao Su to the counter and recommended,¡± Sir, this Heritage series features a classic large analog style, going at 224,000 yuan. It¡¯s very suitable for men who have not been in contact with watches for a long time. Moreover, we carry ready stock. There will be no waiting involved. You can buy it immediately.¡± Cao Su did not speak. He felt that this price was a little too low. He looked at the Heritage series watches on the counter and saw a watch with a platinum case. There were also four small dial plates on the milky white dial plate. The week, the month, the perpetual calendar, and the phase of the moon. ¡°This one!¡± The female salesperson praised, ¡°Sir, you have a good eye. This is one of the most popular models in our Vacheron Constantin Heritage series: 43175/000P-B190. We are selling this at 840,000 yuan. It was designed with a legacy motif: Simple lines, smooth contours, delicate ladder-shaped hour scales, stick-shaped hands, a slightly arched curved dial design, and a minute scale inlaid with a golden bead. ¡°41 mm diameter, 40 hours power reserve. Not only does it display the classic design elements of Vacheron Constantin, but it also reveals great elegance. It¡¯s a stylish classic.¡± Cao Su smiled and did not interrupt the saleswoman. Sometimes listening was a form of courtesy, even if you didn¡¯t care. When she took out her watch and put it on his wrist, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°I¡¯ll pay by card!¡± The saleswoman took Cao Su¡¯s ordinary bank card and completed the transaction on the POS machine with a smile on her face. Then, she handed the bank card back to Cao Su. ¡°Sir, can I add you on WeChat? If you have any after-sales questions in the future, you can contact me at any time. 24-hour standby.¡± Cao Su could not help but laugh. Was this for real? Instead of the legendary face-slapping, there was the legendary treatment of a beautiful woman asking for a date! It could only be said that money was indeed one of the core competitive factors for men. ¡°No need to add me on WeChat,¡± Cao Su declined politely. ¡°I¡¯ll call your store if there¡¯s a problem with the after-sales service. The salesperson¡¯s beauty was above average, and he would give her a score of 85 over a hundred. She was much meeker than the gentle and charming young woman Li Ruoyu that he saw during lunch. He had no interest in flirting with her. ¡®I¡¯ve indeed become arrogant. If a beautiful girl with such a score had asked for this in the past, I would definitely oblige: Not every rose had thorns on them.¡¯ After completing the ¡°equipment change,¡± Cao Su checked in at the five-star Kempinski Hotel. When he left the company, although he had the key to the farmer¡¯s house he had rented in Dachong, it didn¡¯t mean that he had to go back and stay there tonight. Mid-August was not the peak season for tourism and meetings in Shencheng, so the five-star hotels in Seaside City did not have a high check-in rate. The presidential suite of the Kempinski Hotel was still empty. Cao Su¡¯s reservation came up to 36000 yuan a night, and he had to extend his stay for ten days. The hotel¡¯s manager came over to personally apply for the highest-level membership card for him: The Black Gold Card. Kempinski¡¯s membership system was: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Black Gold. One of the conditions to apply for a black gold card was to stay for 30 nights or spend a minimum of 15,000 US dollars. The benefits of the black gold card included point redemption, free room upgrades, early check-in, hotel credit cards, and more. Cao Su was too lazy to listen to the lobby manager¡¯s detailed introduction. He carried a backpack and a briefcase in his left hand. Accompanied by the waiter, he walked into the special elevator of the presidential suite. A moment later, the elevator arrived at the presidential suite on the 27th floor of the hotel. At the entrance of the elevator was a fair and beautiful woman with a curvy figure, wearing a light blue open-collar suit. She was elegant and dignified as she waited with two other servers. She was about thirty years old, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Her face was elegant, and she bowed elegantly. ¡°Welcome. Hello, Mr. Cao. I¡¯m your personal attendant, Xia Ya. I¡¯ll be at your service for the next ten days.¡± What a beauty. Her appearance and figure were both 90+ points. She was nothing short of eye candy. Cao Su nodded slightly at her and felt a little strange. Generally speaking, the personal attendant of a five-star hotel would be good-looking, but not at Xia Ya¡¯s level. However, he did not ask her. There was still a long way to go. He was escorted to the presidential suite by the ladies. After putting the things down, Cao Su asked Xia Ya, his personal attendant, to help him withdraw some cash from the bank. He chose a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet in the small bar in the suite. Flower of Paris. The price of the bottle was written on the wine list on the side: 8828 yuan. Cao Su opened the bottle and poured the wine out. Holding a slender champagne glass, he sat comfortably in front of the French window in the living room and rested his feet. Looking at the boundless sea, blue sky, and white clouds, Cao Su took a sip of wine contentedly and sighed in his heart. ¡®No wonder so many people like to shop! This kind of shopping that kept spending money without looking at the price is indeed very satisfying! There is an addiction to this wanton flaunting and squandering.¡¯ Cao Su sipped his wine and admired the beautiful scenery outside the French windows. In the afternoon, the shadows of the skyscrapers were reflected on the streets of the seaside avenue. The light and shadow were mottled, and pedestrians and cars were passing by. The sea in the distance was as blue as a mirror, and golden light shone on the surface of the water! Such a beautiful scene! He had been in Shencheng for so many years, and he had been to Shencheng Bay before. The equipment in the cinema was nothing short of luxurious. It was really amazing to watch Avatar with 3D glasses. However, when he looked at the afternoon sun, he did not feel so emotional. Only with money and leisure could one have the mood to discover beauty. [The host is immersed in emotions and has triggered a random mission: Sign in.] [Mission: Sign in immediately. Reward: System Store refreshed.] Cao Su found the sign-in tab in the upper left corner of the system interface in his mind. After signing in, he immediately received a notification. [The System Store has been refreshed.] Cao Su opened the System Store. A new [Health Detector] was refreshed inside, priced at 30,000 yuan. Cao Su was restricted from purchasing goods in the system store with his initial 1,000,000,000. He had worked for so many years to support his family¡¯s expenses, so he didn¡¯t have much savings on him. He used the balance on a few bank cards to buy it. A 30-year-old man with just over 30,000 in savings was actually a sad story. As he was reading the user manual, his sister Cao Yun called. ¡°Brother, I just talked to Mom on the phone. Did you really make money from mobile game art design?¡± The corners of Cao Su¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he said, ¡°Little Yun, you¡¯re still so smart! The inside story was complicated and long. You just need to know that my money is legal. Have you received the 100,000 yuan I transferred to you?¡± The Qian Province was an underdeveloped area. He had a younger brother and sister. After graduating from high school, his younger brother worked in Gusu, southern Sichuan, and the western region. His younger sister, Cao Yun, studied at Beijing General University. She would be in her third year in September. ¡°Yes,¡± Cao Yun replied. Cao Su: ¡°Xiaoyun, university is the best time of your life. I¡¯ll pay for your tuition and living expenses in the future. You don¡¯t have to work so many jobs anymore. Set aside time to enrich yourself, enjoy life, and live up to your youth.¡± The days of hardship are over! He was a little ashamed that he had not been able to rely on his own efforts to make this day come sooner. However, with the help of the system, he was able to mend this regret at this time, which was also a good thing. Cao Yun chuckled.¡± Brother, you¡¯re becoming more and more cultured after you succeeded!¡± Are you now winning in life and have become a super-rich second-generation heir? So you can afford two girls by your side, one for breakfast, and one for dinner?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be cheeky!¡± Cao Su laughed. I¡¯ll go to the capital to see you in a while.¡± After hanging up the phone, Cao Su raised his head and drank up the last mouthful of champagne in his glass. He changed his clothes and took his time to splurge. You couldn¡¯t become fat with just one bite! The next thing to do was to start a business. It was inaccurate to say that he was starting a business. A tycoon didn¡¯t start a business. A tycoon only threw money! What he actually wanted was the social influence and power that a successful career would bring. A ¡°Master Lou¡± who collected rent in Shencheng and a boss who had tens of thousands of employees. The former might earn more every year, but how could the status of the two be mentioned in the same breath? How could a real man live under the shadow of others for a long time? There were two things he had to do first. First, register the company. Second, find a headhunter to hire assistants and executives to develop the company¡¯s business. On the way to Seaside City, he called the agency to confirm the registration of the company. It was very convenient to register a company now. You can register your company in Hong Kong or Shencheng. It was done in a week, and the intermediary fee was less than 1000 yuan. Moreover, the registered capital does not need to be paid in. But it was expensive to raise a company! Even if it was a shell company, it would cost three to five thousand yuan a year. Therefore, ordinary people rarely went to raise a company to play. Cao Su took out his phone and called the headhunting company.

Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As the sun set, the golden-red afterglow dyed the sea and the sky in gorgeous hues. As the lanterns were lit, the heat of the day still lingered on. The streets outside the French windows gradually became more crowded. Cao Su was sitting in front of his newly bought Apple laptop, looking up information about the live broadcast. After the group purchase war, the capital market was basically clear: Mobile Internet! Of course, he chose to stand in the wind first. He watched female streamers at the forefront of various live broadcast platforms every day and was very familiar with the live broadcast industry. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Knock! Knock! Knock! Cao Su went to open the door and found his personal attendant, Xia Ya, pushing a dining cart to bring him dinner. The dignified and elegant beauty stood at the door and smiled. ¡°Mr. Cao, I brought you dinner.¡± He had called fifteen minutes ago to order dinner. In the afternoon, he and Chang Ya, a partner of Jincheng Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd, a headhunting company, had a meeting downstairs to discuss recruitment matters. Jincheng was tasked to help him find several administrative assistants. They had to be female, below 30 years of age and had graduated from a first-tier university with an annual salary of 2 million. They were also required to help him hire a general manager who had live broadcasting experience. The requirement was to have more than five years of experience in the live-streaming industry and be under 45 years old. If there were suitable candidates, the conditions could be negotiated. An annual salary of 90 million would be offered. These two positions required him to arrive as soon as possible. He would pay 25% of the annual salary of each position to Jincheng as a commission for the headhunter. Both parties signed the contract on the spot. It was already 7:30 p.m. when they were done. He planned to have a casual dinner before going to the White Maple Bar to talk to Shen Mingze¡¯s friends about Yu Ping. Cao Su smiled and let Xia Ya, the well-rounded beauty, in. He walked to the sofa and picked up his briefcase. He took out two hundred dollar bills and handed them to her. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Xia Ya hesitated for a moment and accepted the tip from the customer again. She took out the ramen and exquisite dishes for dinner. She placed the sauced oyster on the dining table and said intimately, ¡°President Cao, is your dinner that simple?¡± Cao Su sat at the dining table and picked up the bowl of ramen with his chopsticks. He smiled and said, ¡°I have something to do later. Please arrange a car for me as I¡¯m going somewhere.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xia Ya agreed quickly. She walked to the living room in her high heels and made arrangements on a walkie-talkie. Cao Su admired her curves that popped through her suit uniform. He heard that this kind of slightly plump beauty felt very good. Cough, cough. As the saying goes, when one is full and warm, one would think about something. Thinking of this made him feel a little dizzy. How should he put it? He was a single man. After receiving the Divine Tycoon System, he knew that he was a layman who wanted to live a life of luxury. Confucius said: Food and sex are human nature! Moreover, in peaceful times, didn¡¯t men¡¯s sense of conquest manifest in beautiful women? However, he did not want to make himself too sleazy and low-class. ¡®I¡¯m a tiger that sniffs roses, not a cow that chews on peonies!¡¯ Therefore, when he met Su Qing, a goddess-like beauty, he did not go up to greet her. At this moment, facing the voluptuous beauty Xia Ya, he was tempted, but he would not directly spend money to accompany her. It had to be a matter of mutual consent, right? The places where they could spend money and have fun were bars, clubs, and other places! After dinner, Cao Su took a car to the White Maple Bar. Shen Mingze and his good friend Tang Run, who went to the bar with him, arrived at the White Maple Bar just after 8:30 p.m. that Friday night. It was a little early to be at the bar. However, they did not come to drink or watch the show. He took a table with a bar salesperson he was familiar with and ordered a few bottles of beer. It would cost 688 yuan to meet the low consumption on a Friday. The two of them sat at the table and drank their brew, sizing up the women in the bar and commenting about them together. On the way here, Shen Mingze had mentioned to Tang Run about Cao Su¡¯s treat tonight. ¡°Brother Run, you know about Brother Cao¡¯s matter.¡± Tang Run was a handsome young man. He was 25 years old this year, the same age as Shen Mingze. He smiled and said, ¡°We should have some fun. He doesn¡¯t need to treat us.¡± He and Yu Ping had indeed gone on a few dates. And Cao Su wanted dirt on her. How hilarious! How could he sell his friends for benefits? Would he still be able to survive? Shen Mingze smiled and nodded. To be honest, he was closer to Tang Run. Tang Run was very handsome, the kind that could debut as a male celebrity. Every time he went to the bar, women would take the initiative to flirt with him. While he ate seafood, he would get to pick up the leftovers. ¡°Brother Run, that girl in the white dress at nine o¡¯clock is the best. Her fair legs are so sexy.¡± Shen Mingze found his target. With a restless heart, he took the initiative to attack. Chatting up to people was nothing after doing it too many times, not to mention in a place like a bar! His most impressive achievement was when he once held a bottle of Perrier mineral water and successfully struck up a conversation with a rich and beautiful woman who drove a Maserati. Tang Run looked over. About three to five meters away, a tall beauty in a white dress was sitting quietly at the table and scrolling through her phone. Her face was exquisite, and she had light makeup on. The white dress with straps revealed her exquisite collarbones and jade-like shoulders. Her curves were graceful, her waist was slender, and her long white legs were slanted under her short skirt. They were thin and straight. Who in the bar could resist such a cool outfit and sexy style? Tang Run was experienced and knew that this was a high-ranking beauty. A beauty of this level would be given a seat and drinks in any bar. The more beautiful women there were, the more customers they would attract. It was mutually beneficial. Since she could sit quietly and play with her phone, it meant that she had a lot of influence. She wasn¡¯t something that the bar sales and manager could command. Shen Mingze definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to seduce her. He probably couldn¡¯t go either. Moreover, his style was to ¡°wait for the rabbit.¡± Ignoring the failure of his cowardly friend, Tang Run had just taken a sip of wine when a charming young woman walked towards him. Tang Run smiled. The music in the bar pumped, the lasers spun, and the youth and hormones raged. A silver-gray Bentley slowly stopped at the entrance of the White Maple Bar. Cao Su got out of the car with his newly bought LV handbag. Inside the handbag was a mobile phone, bank cards, ID cards, and cash. The entrance of the White Maple Bar was an arched door. The security measures first scanned the bags carried by the guests. Then, a salesperson waiting for the order came to entertain him. Cao Su had an ordinary appearance. His hair was neat and he was cleanly shaved. He looked calmed and reserved. A 23-year-old salesman came up to him and bowed slightly. He stretched out his hand and said, ¡°Sir, please come in!¡± The customers who came to the bar to play would know whether they were rich or not in the eyes of these salesmen. Cao Su¡¯s casual shirt from Connelly and LV bag proved nothing. Many people could afford this luxury item. However, the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist was not something ordinary middle-class people could afford. The thickness of his wallet was definitely enough to support a night¡¯s worth of alcohol consumption of about 100,000 yuan. How could a bar salesperson not be attentive? Cao Su nodded and calmly followed the salesperson into the bar with sound and light effects. His heart no longer had the superficial and uneasy feeling of entering the bar in the past. Of course, he had come to the bar at his age. However, when he came to the bar and saw the sexy and beautiful girls fighting for the seat of the rich young masters and wealthy guests with burning eyes, he lost interest in the bar. If you didn¡¯t have money, then you had better speak out. The environment in the bar would magnify the worship of money in the depths of people¡¯s hearts, and the hierarchy would be strict. With money, you can enjoy freely and comfortably. It was a kind of enjoyment on its own. If you didn¡¯t have money, now that would be another experience. The salesperson led the way in front and said eagerly, ¡°Sir, what do you fancy tonight? Will it be a private room or a booth?¡± ¡°Pick the best booth,¡± Cao Su casually said. If he wanted to experience and enjoy the pleasure of being drunk in cash, of course he would go to a booth. Going to a luxurious and super private room on the contrary, had no such atmosphere. Besides, he still had things to do tonight. Shen Mingze was quite capable. He sent him a WeChat message after arriving at the White Maple Bar. However, Cao Su was not in a hurry to find them! He had to set up the stage before appearing. ¡°Alright.¡± Sir, this way, please. We still have one of our best two booths available tonight.¡± In the noisy, lively, crowded bar that was filled with alcohol and excitement, Cao Su walked quietly. No one recognized him yet. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The White Maple Bar was located on the bar street in the downtown area. It was considered a first-class bar in Shencheng. After entering, the area was spacious. Nearly a hundred seats were marked by the dance floor and the DJ station. It was divided into five districts and scattered stations. The best booth was naturally the one facing the dance floor and the DJ station. It was spacious and had a good view. He could enjoy the guests performing on the dance floor and the men and women swaying. It was past nine o¡¯clock on Friday night, and the venue was already full. The salesperson brought Cao Su to the big card with a ¡°{ ¡± sign. There were two muscular men guarding the entrance and exit of the card. This was the bar¡¯s internal security. The salesperson smiled and handed the iPad in his hand to Cao Su. ¡°Sir, what do you want to drink first?¡± Today was Friday, and Kawang had a discount of 18800 yuan. But there was no need to say this out loud. ¡°Serve the wine according to the low consumption first.¡± Cao Su sat comfortably on the sofa in the booth, facing the dance floor. He placed his bag beside him. He flipped through the wine list on his iPad and handed it back to the salesperson. ¡°Sir, would you like wine or champagne?¡± The salesperson asked immediately. ¡°Champagne.¡± Soon, the salesperson brought a few waiters over with drinks and said eagerly, ¡°Brother, I paired the Ace of Spades (gold), Dom P¨¦rignon Champagne (fluorescent version), Dom P¨¦rignon Champagne, Mo?t & Chandon Champagne, and Chardonnay. There is also a fruit platter, soft drinks, snacks, and tissues. After rounding off the numbers, it will be a total of 19000 yuan. It exceeds the 200 yuan discount. Will that be acceptable?¡± Cao Su took out the bank card of Shencheng Commercial Bank and gave it to him. He swiped the card to settle the bill. In the afternoon, the vice president of Shencheng Commercial Bank had called him and asked him out for dinner, but he declined. Although his plan to buy a house would require the bank, now was not the time to meet. After all, the art of war stats: Appear strong when you¡¯re weak, and appear weak when you¡¯re strong. He had other thoughts. The salesperson thanked him, picked up the beer, poured a glass, toasted Cao Su, and said a few words. ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll instruct the internal security to not let the people outside bother you.¡± With such a big card, you won¡¯t be able to enjoy yourself if you sit alone and relax. I¡¯ll arrange for a few fresh beauties to accompany you to drink and dance. I guarantee that the atmosphere will be lively.¡± Cao Su put down the glass in his hand. The famous Ace of Spades was just so-so. It was not even as good as the Flower of Paris in his presidential suite. He smiled and looked at the salesman, who was squatting down and talking to him as if he was serving his master. ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll add you on WeChat. I¡¯ll send you the pictures. I¡¯ll bring them over once you approve of them.¡± Cao Su smiled and took out his phone to scan the QR code. He added Little Wang¡¯s WeChat and ordered, ¡°Six or seven beauties. I have guests coming over later.¡± He had read a web novel before. The main character, Young Master Ke, said a very classic line to the great beauty, Xu Si. He could not remember the original text. The general meaning was: Some people in the world did not need to do anything, and someone would help them solve their problems. 120 points over 100. As for the others, their hands and feet were bound by life. The core reason was money and power! Just like him at this moment. He came to the bar to spend money. He only needed a glance, and Little Wang would understand what he meant. This was the magic of money. If a real man wanted to live a happy life, he had to have money! Ten minutes later, seven beautiful girls, a total of two groups, arrived at Cao Su¡¯s booth. Just from their looks with makeup, all of them scored above 90 points. They were dressed fashionably, and seductively. Under the noisy atmosphere and dim lights in the bar, it was especially tempting. Some of them were charming, some were passionate, some were elegant, some looked familiar, and some were cute. They came forward to greet Cao Su and introduced themselves: ¡°Hello, Brother Cao. My name is XX.¡± Those who were more outgoing would even add a few nice words. Cao Su smiled and nodded in response. He gestured for them to take their seats. He left the two most beautiful women beside him. When one played god, the two most terrifying things were these. First, diseases. Other than AIDS, there were other viruses. Therefore, premarital and fertility check-ups were extremely necessary. Second, authenticity. They might look very beautiful in the bar, but if he picked one to bring back to the hotel, what if she had plastic surgery done, or had done it with many men before? Then he wouldn¡¯t have a good time. He completed the system¡¯s random mission in the afternoon and bought a health detector in the system store. He was completely fearless. [Tang Man, age 23, looks 91, figure 90, specialty 92.] [Ma Yixuan, age 26, looks 90, figure 92, specialty 88.] Ignoring the fact that it was clearly called a health detector, how it could scan out such detailed data? The question was that the health data had to be detailed! Hehe. The beauty with an oval face and no makeup sitting on the second seat to Cao Su¡¯s right was called ¡°Zhu Di.¡± She was actually a plastic surgery freak. It was displayed very clearly in the detector. Her face had been worked on, her nose had been nipped, and she used to look fierce. The booth was surrounded by beautiful girls, involuntarily stirring the hormones of all the men. Many men in the bar looked over, either envious or jealous. ¡°F*ck! How long would it take? What kind of f*cking kidney did he have to sell to get that?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been staring at that long-legged girl in the white dress for a long time. She was very cold and aloof. So many people tried to hit on her, but she was taken away by the dog salesman.¡± ¡°With money, you can really do whatever you want. I¡¯ve learned a lot today. I¡¯m waiting for God to shine his blessings on me.¡± Cao Su beckoned for Little Wang, who was waiting at the entrance of the booth. He casually asked the two girls beside him, ¡°What would you like to drink?¡± Tang Man was tall and slender, at 1.72 meters tall. She wore a slim white dress with spaghetti straps. Her figure was slender and graceful, and her curves were exquisite and protruding. Her figure was very good. A pair of fair, slender, and straight legs glistened like ivory under her white dress, looking extremely sexy. Tonight, countless horny animals in the bar had their eyes set on her. She sat on Cao Su¡¯s left side, but the distance between them was a little far. With a tsundere expression, she said softly, ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything.¡± In her eyes, a rich middle-aged man was nothing. She wanted to hook up with a young, rich, and single young master. She had been bored tonight and was persuaded by a familiar salesperson to come over. After she came over, she naturally sat beside the center seat, given her appearance. Ma Yixuan was of medium height, 1.64 meters, and her body proportions were exceptional. She was wearing a long dark blue dress with a slim collar and a fair collarbone. It also made her figure even more voluptuous and graceful. She had short hair and wore exquisite earrings. Her facial features were beautiful, and she had the charm of an intellectual young woman. She stuck close to Cao Su and didn¡¯t mind giving him benefits. She said sweetly, ¡°Brother Cao, I can do anything too.¡± Cao Su laughed. The similar words conveyed two different meanings. He reached out and hugged the plump, short-haired, beautiful young woman. Little Wang, who was half-squatting, said, ¡°Bring me ten sets of the Dragon God in your shop.¡± The music in the bar was loud, but Xiao Wang was sure he heard the numbers clearly. In an instant, he felt his heart rate soar. A bill of nearly a million! His voice was difficult to suppress as he said, ¡°Brother Cao, please wait a moment.¡± Little Wang took out the tablet and ordered the 988888-yuan Dragon God Set. Then, he took out the cash machine. Cao Su took out the card from his handbag. ¡°I¡¯ll spend a million. You can take care of the rest of the items.¡± Little Wang quickly agreed. After swiping the card, he respectfully returned the bank card to Cao Su with both hands. He took the tablet and the cash machine and quickly left the booth. At the booth, he held the walkie-talkie and excitedly urged the backstage to serve the wine. Tang Man, Ma Yixuan, and the other seven beauties in the booth were also shocked. They looked at Cao Su with burning eyes in an instant. As beauties who frequented top-class bars like the White Maple Bar, they had experienced many drinking sessions in the Dragon Set. However, they had only heard of a million-dollar game before. He didn¡¯t want to meet her tonight. What level was Brother Cao at? The oval-faced plastic surgery enthusiast, Zhu Di, picked up a wine glass and toasted Cao Su in a delicate voice. ¡°Brother Cao, let me toast you. You¡¯re so awesome!¡± With Zhu Di leading the way, the rest of the girls sitting on the outer side all toasted Cao Su, but their toasts were a little fierce. This one said, ¡°Brother Cao, you¡¯re great.¡±The other said, ¡°Brother Cao, you¡¯re so macho.¡± However, he hadn¡¯t even shown his weapon. At this moment, the DJ on the stage shouted, ¡°Thank you, President Cao, for spending millions in the shop! I wish you the best of luck.¡± All kinds of honks and screams suddenly sounded! Countless columns of smoke began to rise from the stage. The music in the bar suddenly changed. A large group of girls entered the venue with colorful Aces of Spades in their hands. The girls in the atmosphere group were all holding sparklers, confetti, and balloons. With a huge momentum, they began to circle around the dance floor like a patrol and headed toward Cao Su¡¯s booth. The crowd was in an uproar as they looked to see which whale had had a windfall tonight. Cao Su sat in the booth and looked at the colorful nightclub. He listened to the cheers, and the crowd moved for him. His heart was very calm. A person who had one billion and spent one million on wine, what did he need to feel? He didn¡¯t feel anything at all! He just did as he pleased. He didn¡¯t think about whether it was worth spending so much money or whether his posture was handsome. I wanted to spend it, so he spent it. Amidst the screams and liveliness, the tall and proud Tang Man, who was wearing a white dress with spaghetti straps, couldn¡¯t help but sit closer and whisper in Cao Su¡¯s ear. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so handsome!¡± To hell with getting called a gold digger. She wanted to seize the opportunity in front of her. Cao Su smiled slightly and held this sexy, tall, and fair beauty in his arms, lowering his head to kiss her. At this moment, the atmosphere team that was causing trouble had just arrived at the booth. Everyone could see that the sexiest girl of the night, the goddess in the white dress in the eyes of countless men, was falling into someone else¡¯s arms. She had restrained her pride and was soft. Damn it! Let go of that girl! The atmosphere team¡¯s salutes were loud and colorful confetti fell. Shen Mingze looked enviously at the long line of people patrolling the venue. Then, he received a WeChat message from Cao Su: ¡®Shen Mingze, come and have a drink with your friend.¡¯ These words were a little brainless. But Shen Mingze instantly understood. He was still wondering why Cao Su had not sent any news. He and Tang Run had already found a girl and were about to go to the hotel. He was a little far from the stage, so he couldn¡¯t see who Brother Cao was. And Cao Su sent him such a message. Obviously, this Brother Cao was THAT Brother Cao. F*ck!

Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The loud and explosive electronic music in the nightclub continued to pound the surroundings. The handsome Tang Run followed Shen Mingze to the best booth in the inner circle. From afar, he could see beautiful girls with various motives trying to enter one after another to toast with Cao Su, who was sitting in the middle. However, they were all stopped by the burly bouncer outside. The two of them felt a little numb. Think about it. Who would believe that an ordinary colleague would suddenly become a millionaire? But the truth was right in front of him. It was impossible to even act! Tang Run sighed softly in his heart. He walked closer to Shen Mingze and was led in by the bar¡¯s sales assistant, Little Wang, who had received instructions. He actually didn¡¯t want to drink this glass of wine. Shen Mingze had told him clearly on the way here that Brother Cao wanted to ask about Yu Ping. This put him in a difficult position. However, Brother Cao had spent a million yuan in the bar and invited him over for a drink. Was there a need for him to offend anyone? ¡®Let¡¯s play it by ear then.¡¯ Cao Su¡¯s opening of the wine not long ago had caused a huge commotion and became the focus of the entire bar. The excitement would gradually fade away, but the aftermath would surge. The seven girls who were playing in the booth received countless likes after taking photos and posting them on their Moments. At the same time, they felt the envious and jealous gazes of the sluts who were blocked from time to time outside the booth. Their vanity was extremely satisfied! They took selfies, drank, and danced. Their faces were flushed with excitement. They surrounded Cao Su, who was sitting in the center seat of the booth and messed around with him. Cao Su didn¡¯t get up to dance. Instead, he drank wine and enjoyed the enchanting dance moves of the girls in front of him. He enjoyed the considerate service of the tall and sexy Tang Man and the beautiful young woman Ma Yixuan, hugging them from left to right. In the beginning, he hugged their slender waists and kissed them. After that, he gradually let go. The two beauties were a little soft beside him, and their eyes looked dreamy. [The host is in a good mood, triggering a random mission.] Before Cao Su could check, the short-haired woman, Ma Yixuan, whispered in his ear, ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯m a little sleepy from the alcohol.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hotel later,¡± Cao Su said directly in her ear with a smile and took another bite of the lychee that Tang Man had handed over. He placed his hand on her white thigh and whispered into her ear, ¡°Follow me later!¡± It was around 10:30 pm. It was still early for him to end the bar, but he was almost done. He was waiting for Shen Mingze and Tang Run to arrive. He had to enjoy himself at the bar and do things. Neither of them would delay. Tang Man glanced at the beautiful young woman and competitor on Cao Su¡¯s right and whispered into his ear, ¡°Brother, what about her?¡± Just as Cao Su was about to answer, he saw Little Wang, the sales assistant, bring Shen Mingze and Tang Run into the booth. He stood up with a smile. Shen Mingze had already reached out his hand to shake Cao Su¡¯s hand. Amidst the noisy music, he yelled, ¡°Brother Cao, this is awesome! This is Tang Run from the Material Management Department.¡± Tang Run quickly took the initiative to shake hands with Cao Su. ¡°Hello, Brother Cao.¡± Cao Su did not hear it clearly. He made a gesture and said with a smile, ¡°Sit down and drink.¡± He was not interested in whispering to men in the bar. He pointed his phone at Shen Mingze. The large cubicle was spacious. Shen Mingze sat down between the two girls on the right and saw Cao Su¡¯s message on WeChat: ¡°It¡¯s not easy to talk in a bar. I¡¯ll be using WeChat to communicate.¡± Shen Mingze quickly started a WeChat group of three and was about to greet them. ¡°I said I¡¯d treat you to a drink tonight, but I didn¡¯t have time to entertain you just now. Let¡¯s drink together. To happiness!¡± The bouncer brought two clean cups over. Little Wang poured the green and gold version of the Ace of Spades, which cost more than 10,000 yuan each, for everyone. Bubbles surged as the champagne was poured into the slender glass! The girls in the booth looked at the wine glasses under the neon lights with intoxicated eyes and took out their phones to take photos of the drink, and selfies with it. Shen Mingze understood them. A bottle of Ace of Spades champagne was 750ml, and it could be poured into three to five slender champagne glasses. This glass of wine started at 2,000 yuan. Who wouldn¡¯t care? He looked at the girls outside the booth who wanted to come in but had no way to. Were these girls in the booth full of vanity? So wasn¡¯t it right for them to look intoxicated? As someone who often went to the bar, he was shocked to see the colorful Ace of Spades bottles on the table. Moreover, there were still unopened bottles of Ace of Spades in the wine cabinets on both sides of the booth. What a luxurious life! What a feast! Therefore, the goddess in the white dress, who he had been thinking about for the entire night, was now nestled in Brother Cao¡¯s arms with a smile on her face. She was flirting with Brother Cao softly. Wasn¡¯t that normal? However, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little heartbroken. Sigh! He had to think about a question now. Was his relationship with Tang Run closer or with Brother Cao? Just as he was thinking, everyone in the booth stood up and raised their glasses. Shen Mingze also quickly raised his wine glass and shouted along with Cao Su, ¡°Cheers!¡± The atmosphere heated up again. Tang Run followed the crowd and raised his cup, pouring the Ace of Spades into his mouth. He also saw the sexy goddess in the white dress who had been claimed by Brother Cao. From time to time, she would take the initiative and kiss Brother Cao passionately. As for Brother Cao, he was happily hugging the woman beside him. She had a voluptuous figure; her looks and charm were incomparable to the woman he had hooked up with just now. He was worried that Brother Cao would ask him about Yu Ping in the group chat. How was he supposed to answer this? Yu Ping, you idiot! Why did you offend Brother Cao? Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, the power that Brother Cao displayed was more than enough to make Yu Ping lose her job and clout. Cao Su called Little Wang over and gave his orders. Five minutes later, Little Wang came over with two gold cards. ¡°Brother Cao, there are still 30 bottles of wine left in the wine cabinet. They are all stored in these two cards. The effective period is three months.¡± White Maple Bar¡¯s Dragon Set contained five Ace of Spades champagne: One gold, one pink, one violet, one green, and one platinum. He and the girls were playing in the booth. Including the champagne and soft drinks from before, he had only consumed 20 bottles. Not only was champagne left on the table, but there were also six sets of wine cabinets on both sides of the booth that had not been opened. The bar provided a wine storage service. Cao Su nodded and gave the two liquor cards that Little Wang handed to Tang Man and Ma Yixuan, respectively. He said to everyone, ¡°I¡¯ll leave the rest of the drinks to you guys. I wish you all a good time!¡± He carefreely patted the two girls¡¯ round and soft breasts. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± He picked up his bag. ¡°Ah!¡± Tang Man and Ma Yixuan, who was being photographed, pouted in a different manner. Under the envious gazes of all the girls, she put the wine gold card worth about 300,000 into the small bag she carried with her and followed Cao Su out. Tang Run and Shen Mingze stood up and sent Cao Su to the booth. Little Wang was ordered to stay here and accompany them. Watching Cao Su disappear into the crowd of people in the bar with the two top-grade beauties, Tang Run could not help but sigh. ¡°Brother Cao is very particular about what he does!¡± There was still a table full of wine left, enough for them to have fun tonight. Shen Mingze nodded. Just now, when the two of them entered the booth, Brother Cao stood up and shook hands with them. This undoubtedly raised their status. At the same time, he felt like laughing. Before he came, Tang Run had said that they should have fun and he didn¡¯t have to treat him. And now? It appeared Tang Run¡¯s bottom line was very flexible! There was another meaning to the phrase ¡®pay attention to the details,¡¯ something that was related to Yu Ping. According to Tang Run¡¯s understanding, Brother Cao probably wanted him to take the initiative to start talking about her. Brother Cao had treated him to wine worth tens of thousands of yuan, so he had to tell a story! But he felt that it was not the case. This was an open and aboveboard scheme. Shen Mingze thought about it and sent Cao Su a WeChat message. ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯ll spread the news about what happened tonight after work tomorrow.¡± What would Yu Ping think when she heard the news the following day? Tang Run said, ¡°He didn¡¯t say anything about dating her. Would Yu Ping believe him?¡± Therefore, the main point tonight was to not talk about Yu Ping at all. It would be fine, as long as Tang Run sat down and drank, or even if he just turned up at White Maple Bar. That was Brother Cao¡¯s method. After leaving the White Maple Bar, Cao Su took a taxi and brought Tang Man and Ma Yixuan to the nearest five-star hotel. ¡°The Shangri-La, near the Civic Center.¡± They arrived at the entrance of the hotel, paid the bill, and got out of the car. The cool night breeze blew, and the bustling bar seemed a distance away. The hotel lobby was very quiet in the middle of the night. Cao Su hugged two tipsy beauties and asked for a presidential suite at the front desk. Under the envious eyes of the front desk staff, he checked in and received a WeChat message from Shen Mingze. The corners of Cao Su¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. Little Shen was a very handy tool. The key was that he was smart enough to save him a lot of trouble. [Okay.] Cao Su was very happy that he had solved the Yu Ping problem on the same day. His gaze swept past the tall and sexy long-legged beauty Tang Man and the graceful and beautiful intellectual young woman Ma Yixuan.

Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When they came out of the presidential suite¡¯s dedicated elevator, the private attendant of the suite waited at the elevator with two servers. He bowed politely and said, ¡°Welcome to the Shangri-La, Mr. Cao. This way, please!¡± Under the attendant¡¯s lead, they arrived at the presidential suite. The presidential suite of the Shangri-La Hotel was different from the Kempinski. The layout was transparent, and the living, dining, and study rooms were connected. The furnishings and decorations were luxurious. Cao Su waved his hand and dismissed the dutiful butler. He heard the door click softly and pulled the two beauties into his arms, kissing them on their smooth and fair faces. Now that he was in his private space and had brought everything back to the hotel, he no longer had to hold back. After getting the Divine Tycoon System today, he could carry out his plan step by step. But in reality, there was a storm brewing in his heart! Moreover, he had met three beauties today: The intern in the company, Su Qing, the beautiful wife, Li Ruoyu, and the slightly plump hotel attendant, Xia Ya. His blood was already pumping, especially after admiring her voluptuous back. As they messed about, the short-haired beauty, Ma Yixuan, giggled and said, ¡°Brother Cao, you¡¯re so naughty! I¡¯m going to take a shower first.¡± She walked out of the bright, luxurious living room in high heels and a dark blue collared dress. Cao Su sat comfortably on the light purple sofa. The long-legged beauty Tang Man, wearing a white spaghetti strap short skirt, faced him in a hot and flirtatious manner. She said delicately, ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t want to be fated to only be with you for one night. I want to treat you better.¡± Of course, he had other thoughts when he gave her a drink card worth nearly 300,000 yuan so casually. However, Brother Cao was obviously not easy to fool. He had even brought Ma Yixuan back. She didn¡¯t dare to use those tricks to deal with boys. If she did that, she would be taking advantage of the Ma family! In fact, Brother Cao¡¯s style was very popular in the dating market! If those sl*ts really knew that he was unmarried and thirty years old this year, they would probably go all out to invite him to play and tie him down. She only managed to get insider information by coaxing and being coquettish while drinking. A single millionaire like him was more popular than a rich young master or a wealthy heir, alright? He had a lot of disposable wealth, and he had reached the age of marriage. How many of those young rich men would get married before 30? She wanted something practical. Cao Su laughed. ¡°Wow you really know how to talk!¡± ¡°Manman, if you¡¯re in Shencheng, we¡¯ll still have fate!¡± Tang Man was a nurse in a certain hospital. The day after tomorrow was a weekend break, so he would go out to the bar at night. There was a plate of fruits in the suite. Cao Su ate the lychee that Tang Man offered and said. Then, Cao Su caressed the thin and sexy beauty¡¯s hair.¡± Manman, let¡¯s enjoy tonight¡¯s beautiful night first!¡± Tang Man could only agree. She raised her head and said coquettishly, ¡°Big brother¡­¡± which silenced him immediately. Sitting on the sofa, Cao Su sent Xia Ya a WeChat message. ¡°Xiao Xia, I¡¯m not returning to the hotel tonight.¡± It was around eight in the morning, and the sun shone brightly. Sitting in the restaurant on the second floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, Cao Su enjoyed his morning tea while admiring the lush scenery of Lotus Mountain Park outside the window. His posture was relaxed and comfortable. The restlessness and anger in his body and heart had completely disappeared. While eating the shrimp dumplings, Cao Su once again checked the random mission that the system had issued in the bar last night in his mind happily. [Mission: Sleep deeply for five hours.] [Reward: Attractiveness +5.] He didn¡¯t have time to look at this mission yesterday. After a good night¡¯s sleep last night, this random mission had been completed unknowingly. According to the system¡¯s data, he had 73 points for attractiveness. He did look better. Cao Su drank a mouthful of tea comfortably. The system¡¯s random quests were basically free questions: It was simple and had many benefits. On the other hand, it was difficult for him to trigger a random mission when his emotions were in a state of desperation. Chirp chirp. His WeChat rang. Cao Su picked up his iPhone and checked the news. This was a coquettish message from Tang Man. ¡°Brother, you are so mean. You left us early in the morning ?.¡± Cao Su sipped tea and asked for her AliPay account number. He couldn¡¯t transfer money or send red packets on WeChat yet. He sent her a red packet worth 888 yuan. ¡°Take it and drink some Coke. I have something to do today.¡± Tang Man accepted the red packet. The short-haired beauty, Ma Yixuan, sent a message. ¡°Brother Cao, I want one too.¡± The corners of Cao Su¡¯s mouth curled up. A young married woman was, indeed a young married woman, very charming. It was the same set of operations: transfer the money and indicate something was wrong. He no longer cared about the two of them. He switched back to WeChat and casually browsed through the messages on his phone. His social circle was usually very narrow. He rarely contacted his university classmates. He opened the Jiangzhou University software engineering student group chat. More than 200 people were in the group, but only a few spoke. Brother Wei: ¡°Yesterday, a few friends went camping by the beach. The car broke down on the way. What a pain in the ass.¡± Brother Tiger: ¡°President Wei, your Porsche costs a little more. He changed to a big SUV, looking mighty and domineering. Privately chat with the girl¡¯s photo.¡± ¡°President Hu is right. President Wei, you must be so carefree in Shencheng! Send us a few photos of the beach to satisfy our eyes.¡± Cao Su flipped through it for a moment. Wei, Hu, and Lei were chatting happily. The others would occasionally speak up to support him. They were all adults, so they were very reserved. However, the faint pretentious tone in his words lingered. However, compared to yesterday¡¯s wonderful experience, Cao Su smiled and shook his head. He exited the WeChat interface and thought about his own matters. It would take a few more days for public opinion to ferment about Yu Ping¡¯s matter in the company. Let¡¯s see for the time being. Shen Mingze would help him keep an eye on Yu Ping¡¯s review of the meeting minutes. There was a high probability that this matter would be resolved. So, what should his next target be? He was completely free now, and his time was at his disposal. Cao Su didn¡¯t feel lost in his heart, but his goal was clear! It was still the same sentence, how could a real man live under others for a long time? He wanted to get his career up and running. It was just that the godly tycoons were doing business, so this was naturally how they did it. It wouldn¡¯t be the world-famous way of working hard for ten years. Instead, it was a rapid advancement, surpassing the layers of society and soaring into the clouds! The great rock rose with the wind in one day, soaring 90,000 miles! This was the spirit and ambition of a godly tycoon. It would take a week to register the company. The assistant and general manager interview would have to wait until his company was registered. What he had to do now was to settle the company¡¯s office space. Of course, Shencheng was more important. He looked at the office space and went to buy a car first. Cao Su browsed through his collection in the car forum he frequented and found a car dealer with a good reputation in Shencheng. After leaving the Shangri-La Hotel, he took a taxi and went straight to the imported car shop on the outskirts of Longgang.

Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wanhai Car Dealership was located in the suburbs of Shencheng, where land was cheap. The two-story exhibition hall, plus parking spaces and maintenance areas, occupied an area of about 30,000 square meters. Hundreds of luxury cars were for sale in the garage, covering all the mainstream luxury brands. Because they ordered and declared directly from abroad, their sales price was much lower than 4S stores. At the same time, it also provided the vehicle owner with maintenance services. For now, parallel imported cars were still a gray area. The most important thing was the issue of getting a license and quality assurance. Wanhai Car Dealership was able to solve these two pain points, so its business was naturally booming. It was one of the more famous stores in the luxury car sales circle in Shencheng. Cao Su exited the taxi and walked into the luxurious and bright exhibition hall. Luxury cars were displayed in the hall, giving off an elegant aura. There seemed to be an event going on in the garage today. The red carpet was laid out, beautiful car models were in front of luxury cars, and guests were holding wine glasses and testing them out. ¡°Hello, sir! Are you here to participate in our car shop¡¯s bargain?¡± A salesperson in a suit came forward and greeted him warmly. Cao Su was slightly startled when he saw the man of medium stature. He shouted, ¡°Brother Tiger?!¡± Many students from Jiangzhou University¡¯s software engineering field worked in Shencheng. However, eight years had passed, and everyone had walked their own paths. Not everyone was still working in software. Cao Su basically did not speak in the group and did not show his face. However, Qiao Tian, who was known as ¡°Brother Tiger¡± among his classmates, was very active in the group. He often attended class gatherings and posted many photos in the group. He had only seen last night¡¯s message log in the group this morning: Brother Tiger was chatting with President Wei. Qiao Tianze looked at Cao Su seriously and recognized this student from Class 1. His eyes glanced at the watch on his wrist, and smiled. ¡°F*ck! Cao Su, I really didn¡¯t recognize you. You¡¯re getting more and more handsome now!¡± Cao Su smiled. ¡°That¡¯s not the case.¡± Qiao Tianze smiled as he beckoned Cao Su inside. ¡°Our Wanhai Car Dealership is holding a rewards event this weekend! Actually, it¡¯s just a small car show promotion that we organized ourselves. We even invited some models over. Some of the girls were very hot. Guests could test drive a few sports cars in the exhibition area: There was a Porsche 911, an AMG, and a Maserati. This attracted many sports car enthusiasts from the deep city. Cao Su, you are¡­¡± Cao Su was not used to having his classmates ¡°serve¡± him. How did Little Wang butter him up last night? He wished he could treat him like an ancestor. If Brother Tiger became like this, he would feel a little awkward. It was as if he was arrogant when he got what he wanted. He had no enmity with Brother Tiger. Of course, he didn¡¯t have much relationship with Brother Tiger. She didn¡¯t have the intention of taking care of his business. It was just a coincidence today, so he said, ¡°I saw on the forum that your Wanhai Car Dealership is having an event, so I came over to look.¡± ¡°Brother Tiger, you do what you must. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Qiao Tianze was a little surprised. Why couldn¡¯t someone with Vacheron Constantin afford a luxury car? Then, he suddenly realized that it was probably an idiot. Perhaps Cao Su¡¯s outfit was specially prepared for today. He was a man, after all. He had to have some face outside. ¡°Alright. The exhibition area is over here!¡± Qiao Tianze brought Cao Su to the exhibition area, where three sports cars lined up for a test drive. ¡°Let¡¯s get together when we have time.¡± His words were very perfunctory. Brother Tiger did not even ask for his phone number. ¡°You go ahead with your work!¡± Cao Su said with a smile.¡± As expected, adults were very pragmatic! The so-called classmate¡¯s relationship was as thin as paper. The true friendship between university classmates was still between the students who got along well with each other and the roommates in the same dormitory. Everything else was useless. After parting ways with Brother Tiger, Cao Su left the team and strolled around the car exhibition hall, admiring the luxury cars and preparing to buy them. As for the beautiful car models, the quality of the small-scale car show was indeed high! However, last night, he had spent all his money on Tang Man and Ma Yixuan, the two beauties. He had used up all his ammunition and not a single drop was left. Now was the time for saints to look at beauties like floating clouds. ¡°Sir, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Cao Su stopped in front of a white Aston Martin on the second floor for a long time. A pretty saleswoman in a blue uniform came over to greet him with a smile. This car was beautiful, and the car models beside it were also very nice. The headlamps were long and beautiful. Cao Su took the Hermes handbag and asked, ¡°How much does this car cost with all the paperwork?¡± Seeing that Cao Su seemed to have the intention to buy it, the female salesperson said enthusiastically, ¡°This Aston Martin V8 Vantage was last year¡¯s model. Its classic shape and dynamic waistline make it popular with our customers.¡± The landing price was 3.22 million. However, we offer a 20% discount, here at Wanhai Car Dealership, and you can get it for 2.58 million.¡± Cao Su nodded.¡± Yes, I¡¯ll take a look.¡± The price was slightly lower. ¡°Sir, how should I address you? I¡¯m Qin Yuhan, a sales advisor here at Wanhai Car Dealership. This is my business card.¡± The saleswoman, Qin Yuhan, planned to have a good chat with Cao Su. As for the specifics, they had their own ways of talking. ¡°My surname is Cao,¡± Cao Su said with a smile. Qin Yuhan was about to bring Cao Su to the VIP area on the second floor to continue promoting. She saw Qiao Tianze bring two people over. The man was rich, and the woman was beautiful. He eagerly introduced the data of this Aston Martin, and he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned when he saw Cao Su. Qiao Tianze apologized to his client and chatted with Qin Yuhan for a while before taking Cao Su to a distance to chat privately. He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, ¡°Old Cao, you¡¯re just about there. Don¡¯t pretend to be embarrassed!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you the car model¡¯s number later. According to the rules of our Wanhai Car Trading Company, two groups of people can bid for the same car. Just take it that you¡¯re convinced by me.¡± Cao Su felt a little annoyed. Brother Tiger seemed to be certain that he was here to mingle. His words were very contemptuous and condescending. It made him very unhappy. Of course, this had something to do with what he had just said. If he had known earlier, he would have shown his cards. Cao Su did not bother with Brother Tiger. He patted Brother Tiger¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Brother Tiger, mind your own business. Don¡¯t worry about me!¡± Then, he walked back and asked Qin Yuhan to show him around the exhibition hall on the second floor. F*ck! Qiao Tianze looked at Cao Su¡¯s back, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression. He saw that Cao Su was an old classmate, so he called him to the side to give him a way out. Otherwise, who would care about you? Who didn¡¯t know who was doing well? What if your acting is broken later? Qiao Tianze rubbed his face and returned to his smile before he went to entertain his clients. The pretty Qin Yuhan brought Cao Su around the exhibition hall on the second floor, explaining and promoting along the way. Cao Su looked around and ordered, ¡°I want this Ferrari 458 and that Bentley Speedster. Go and settle the paperwork for me. ¡°I¡¯m here to test drive this Ferrari.¡± Qin Yuhan was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and said with a smile, ¡°Brother Cao, okay. I¡¯ll go get the documents now. Please wait here for a moment. Oh, let me teach you how to start the Ferrari first.¡± Cao Su smiled and said, ¡°No need. How many adult men are oblivious to cars? And how many didn¡¯t know about Ferraris? He saw that Qin Yuhan didn¡¯t just want to teach him how to start the car, but she wanted to drive with him. Just as they were testing it out, Qiao Tianze walked over from afar. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The red Ferrari 458 was like a blooming rose in the bright and luxurious exhibition hall on the second floor of Wanhai Car Dealership. It was especially eye-catching! The selling price was 4,438,800. Such a luxurious car naturally needed a beautiful model. The tall and sexy car model wearing a long silver halter neck dress saw Cao Su fiddling in the car and stood quietly by the side. Qiao Tianze walked along the corridor and greeted the beautiful car model. He walked to the Ferrari and said, ¡°Old Cao, go smoke a cigarette!¡± He didn¡¯t get to seal the deal just now. The rich man was unwilling to buy a sports car worth more than two million yuan for his young mistress. This made him very unhappy. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t foolishly quarrel with Cao Su at his workplace. Who would be so stupid as to be a thirty-year-old adult? He was going to invite Cao Su to the university reunion next week, and he would tease Cao Su at the reunion. ¡®If you don¡¯t have money, why pretend?¡¯ ¡®I¡¯m trying to help you out of kindness so that you won¡¯t be caught by Little Qin, who is in charge of sales, and be put on the spot. In the end, the dog bit Lu Dongbin. F*ck.¡¯ Cao Su got out of the car and waved his hand. ¡°No need!¡± He did not want to deal with Qiao Tianze anymore. They were all adults. What was the use of playing such little tricks? He looked behind Qiao Tianze. This was the reason he got out of the car. The slim Qin Yuhan was holding a stack of documents. She walked over excitedly in her high heels. She looked at Qiao Tianze warily, worried he would steal the order. After all, he had just mentioned that he and Brother Cao were university classmates. ¡°Brother Cao, bring me the documents for the car purchase. You just need to sign them.¡± Qin Yuhan smiled sweetly and panted slightly. ¡°This way, please!¡± Cao Su generously admired her undulating curves. She was wearing a classic workplace outfit. She was wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and black stockings. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said with a smile. He ignored Qiao Tianze. He followed Qin Yuhan to the VIP area on the second floor. Qiao Tianze heard it clearly but subconsciously asked, ¡°Little Qin, what happened?¡± He didn¡¯t believe that Cao Su had the ability to spend money here! The worst car in their line was worth hundreds of thousands, but the luxury cars on the second floor were all worth over two million. If Cao Su was really so capable, how could he be unknown among his classmates? Qin Yuhan was twenty-five years old this year. She worked as a sales advisor in a luxury car dealership and was a first-class judge of character. She instantly understood the relationship between Qiao Tianze and Brother Cao. She stopped in her tracks with a smile and said, ¡°Old Qiao, Brother Cao bought that Ferrari!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Qiao Tianze opened his mouth in surprise. If one day, eight years after graduation, a very ordinary university classmate bought a luxury car worth more than four million in front of you, what would your expression be? Qin Yuhan added with a smile, ¡°Old Qiao, Brother Cao even bought the limited edition Bentley from the shop.¡± The 2012 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0T limited edition was sold for 5.18 million yuan. Qiao Tianze was speechless. Qin Yuhan covered her mouth and giggled. Her voice was as pleasant as a silver bell. Brother Cao bought two luxury cars from her, and the commission was enough for generations! Of course, she had to give Brother Cao face. ¡°Brother Cao, this way, please!¡± Ignoring Qiao Tianze, her high heels lacked loudly as she gently swayed her slender waist. She brought Cao Su to the VIP area on the second floor and let him sit on the soft and comfortable sofa. She leaned closer and said, ¡°Brother Cao, let me tell you what to take note of.¡± Smelling the perfume, he could feel Little Qin almost sticking to him. She was very tender. Cao Su smiled in his heart and listened to Qin Yuhan explain the various terms to him with a calm heart. It was mainly because his manhood was on strike. Little Qin was beautiful, but not to the extent that he had to work overtime. Qiao Tianze eagerly followed him over and poured two cups of warm white wine. He said fawningly, ¡°Brother Cao, have a drink!¡± Cao Su looked at Qiao Tianze with a smile that was not a smile. He knew that Brother Tiger was two-faced. That was why he didn¡¯t ask for Brother Tiger¡¯s service when he entered the car dealership. Qiao Tianze felt guilty under Cao Su¡¯s stare. He smiled embarrassedly and quickly retreated to the side to stand quietly. Truthfully speaking, he indeed had the intention of helping Cao Su get out of the trap just now. But more importantly, he was worried that Cao Su would affect his business. Therefore, he wanted to quickly send Cao Su away. However, what made Cao Su the most unhappy was still that sentence: I¡¯ll give you the car model¡¯s number later. Firstly, with Cao Su¡¯s strength, why would he need a car model¡¯s phone number? He had made three direct calls without condoms and asked them to call him Daddy. Secondly, if Cao Su did not have the ability to buy a car, his words would be too straightforward, and he would be looked down on! If he didn¡¯t handle this matter well, he might lose his job. To let the car dealer choose a big customer or an employee was the answer that could be known with one¡¯s toes. Sigh, he felt wronged too! ¡®Boss Cao, why did you lie to me when you came in? Do you think I don¡¯t know how to lick your boots?¡¯ He was looking down on people! ¡®As long as you give me a chance, I guarantee nothing will happen to Little Qin.¡¯ Qin Yuhan was talking to Cao Su about the price. Parallel imported cars were cheaper than the official guide price of 4S stores. At this moment, a beautiful woman with a professional style walked over quickly. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and her hair was tied up in a bun. She extended her hand warmly and said, ¡°Hello, Mr. Cao.¡± She was the general manager of Wanhai Car Dealership, Xu Lanqing. I¡¯m very sorry. I was dealing with a sudden situation over there just now. Sorry for neglecting you, Mr. Cao. Please forgive me.¡± If a customer bought two luxury cars that cost four to five million yuan, she, as the general manager, would definitely have to come out and entertain them. Cao Su had never listened to the words of the public. He smiled and shook her hand.¡±Hello, Manager Xu!¡± ¡°You can call me Xiao Xu!¡± Xu Lanqing asked Qin Yuhan about the discount. Because Cao Su was the first to buy a car at Wanhai Car Dealership, she used her authority as the general manager to give Cao Su a 10% discount on top of the official price of 20%. She also sent Cao Su a membership card and an invitation card. ¡°Mr. Cao, at the end of this month, our company will have a group building activity at sea. We sincerely invite all the VIPs of Wanhai Car Dealership to participate. Thank you for your care and support for our car dealership.¡± Cao Su didn¡¯t get to finish his sentence. ¡°It¡¯s my duty,¡± Xu Lanqing quickly said. The time of your arrival shall be the standard.¡± Cao Su took the pen that Qin Yuhan handed over and signed the document on the table. He then swiped his card to spend the money. The various expenses of the two cars, after the discount, totaled about 7.2 million yuan. Qiao Tianze took the opportunity to whisper a few words to Manager Xu. Manager Xu nodded. A moment later, a tall and cold female model in a short skirt was brought over by Qiao Tianze. It was the Aston Martin. Beautiful, tall, sexy, and cold. Qiao Tianze introduced enthusiastically, ¡°Qianqian, Brother Cao just bought two cars from our dealership. He¡¯s our most respected customer! You¡¯re a model partner of our brach. You have to be closer to Brother Cao.¡± ¡°Brother Cao, Qianqian is a student from a prestigious university. She¡¯s studying e-commerce at Shencheng University. She¡¯s working part-time during the summer break of her freshman year. She¡¯s the most beautiful car model we¡¯ve ever worked with.¡± ¡®Damn, Brother Tiger, you¡¯re really a dog! You even call me Brother Cao! And you¡¯re even my pimp.¡¯ Cao Su sneered and retorted,¡± The most beautiful car model? You want her to stand in the Aston Martin¡¯s position?¡± He didn¡¯t want to ¡®bully¡¯ a female university student. It was another matter of mutual consent. It was very tasteless to engage in such unspoken rules. Qiao Tianze was suddenly stumped and felt like crying. Fine, flattery was on his lap! Xu Lanqing somewhat understood. Everything Qiao Tianze did was wrong, and he was his university classmate! ¡°Qianqian, change your contract to S. In the future, you will be the most expensive model in our car shop.¡± He Xueqian was tall and slender, reaching over 1.8 meters in her high heels. She had long legs and a thin waist. She had a beautiful face and looked cold, but she was also a presentable person. She covered her collar and bowed to thank him. ¡°Brother Cao, thank you.¡± Brother Cao had helped her. Car models couldn¡¯t just be beautiful. Sometimes, qualifications were also important. Cao Su smiled and raised his hand. He nodded at Manager Xu, who was trying to act nice and got up with the documents and handbag, ready to leave. Qiao Tianze quickly followed. ¡°Brother Cao, let me send you off.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The layout of the interior of Wan Hai Car Dealership was transparent and luxurious. There were also robot models in the exhibition hall. It could be seen that the manager was very attentive. Qiao Tian proposed to send Cao Su, but as the general manager of the car shop, Xu Lanqing did not dare to let him offend a big customer. The group of people surrounded Cao Su and waited in front of the dedicated passage on the first floor. After a while, the staff in the garage drove a sky-blue Bentley over. Cao Su¡¯s figure was reflected in the shiny car. In a quintessentially British style, the vehicle had an elegant temperament. It looked tempting. ¡°I¡¯ll have a few words with Xiao Qiao alone,¡± Cao Su said to Xu Lanqing and the others. ¡°Oh, okay, okay.¡± After the others had retreated a few meters away, Qiao Tian looked at Cao Su eagerly, waiting for his verdict. Cao Su glanced at the ceiling that was shining with the morning sun in the distance and said, ¡°Brother Tiger, don¡¯t talk about my situation in the group. Can you do that?¡± To be honest, everyone had a need to act tough. Didn¡¯t you hear that King Xiang once said: Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like brocade clothes at night? However, he didn¡¯t need to rely on others to brag about him in the group chat. This kind of method of showing off his divinity in front of others was too low-level. He wasn¡¯t interested in ruling Brother Tiger, but scaring this kid wasn¡¯t a bad idea. What he really wanted to explain was this matter. Qiao Tian was dumbfounded. He thought that Cao Su wanted to ¡°judge¡± him. Only now did he know that he was just a fart in Cao Su¡¯s eyes, completely insignificant. But he had to save himself! ¡°Brother Cao, don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry!¡± Qiao Tian repeatedly promised and said, ¡°Brother Cao, when I sell cars here, I often see this situation. Some of the cars looked new, but they had actually racked up a frightening number of kilometers.¡± Cao Su was immediately amused. Of course, he understood that Qiao Tian was not talking about Wanhai Car Dealership but driving. Qiao Tian observed his expression and continued, ¡°There are many people who test drive new cars, but only one person buys a car.¡± Cao Su laughed. ¡°Brother Cao, from my observation, all men love to drive. It didn¡¯t matter if he does it with his hands or his mouth.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Cao Su couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He took out a Chinese cigarette from his pouch and threw it to him. ¡°Brother Tiger, you¡¯re pretty good. You can create a program on a live broadcast platform: Brother Tiger Talks Cars.¡± Qiao Tian hurriedly took the cigarette with both hands and took out a lighter to light it for Cao Su with a smile. He heaved a long sigh of relief. His life experience was useful. Most of the time, if the rich were amused, the matter would not be a matter. ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯ve only read about it on the Internet. There was another joke. Why wouldn¡¯t rich people marry beautiful women who were out playing? Private use of public cars will be punished by the heavens!¡± F*ck! Brother Tiger, you sure are a talent! Cao Su smiled and patted Qiao Tianze¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Alright, goodbye!¡± He waved Qin Yuhan over. ¡°Little Qin, help me send that Ferrari to the Kempinski Hotel parking lot in Nanshan.¡± ¡°Okay, Brother Cao.¡± Qin Yuhan smiled sweetly.¡± Cao Su sat in the Bentley. The handmade accessories and center console that was full of technology displayed the luxury of this car silently. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if one was still in the water. The ignition started. Cao Su stepped on the accelerator and felt the strong push on his back. He drove out of Wan Hai Car Dealership along the dedicated passage of the auto show. The blue sky and white clouds were beautiful. There were also flourishing skyscrapers in the distance. One day, I will conquer this bustling international city! It was the morning of August 17th, 2013. Cao Su found a gourmet restaurant in Futian¡¯s central district for lunch as he drove his Bentley. After a search, he decided that his company¡¯s office space would be located in Nanshan¡¯s most prosperous business circle, the China Resources Building, the tallest building on the seaside avenue. The China Resources Building was 392.5 meters tall, with 66 floors above ground and five underground. The exterior was made of multi-sided triangular glass panels, and the top of the tower was a circular plane with a sharp point. It was also known as ¡°Spring Bamboo Shoot,¡± symbolizing endless vitality that was rising steadily. Most of the time, the location of a company¡¯s office constructed the impression of the company¡¯s strength. There was no need for him to consider the cost in this aspect. The godly tycoons wanted to make full use of the advantage of having a lot of money. Doing business and running a company should be a high-profile and open path. It wasn¡¯t a small business that expanded reproduction. It was like treading on thin ice. At about three in the afternoon, Cao Su was in the office of the China Resources Building property company to complete the lease contract. He had rented two floors that were more than 4000 square meters, located on the 31st and 32nd floors, respectively. The lease was for five years. The monthly rental was 2.5 million. There was a free 15 months of property management fees. The thirty-second floor was fully furnished, with water, electricity, and air conditioning. It could be put into use immediately. Yin Huining, the property manager of China Resources Building, smiled and handed the door card to the tall, slightly plump man in front of him. He looked unfamiliar! However, it was normal for there to be crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the deep city. ¡°President Cao, don¡¯t you want to consider buying the first floor as an investment?¡± ¡°I will not,¡± said Cao Su with a smile. He shook hands with Yin Huining and said goodbye. How could the appreciation of commercial real estate be faster than the appreciation of residential real estate? This conclusion could be drawn by paying little attention to the property market¡¯s performance over the years. He already had a plan in his heart. One billion to invest 500 million to buy a house. After driving out of the bamboo shoots, Cao Su called the headhunter Chang Ya and told her the company¡¯s office location. There was no need to notify the agent at the registration company. They just had to send someone to change the registered address. ¡°Okay, President Cao. I¡¯ll arrange an interview after your company is registered.¡± Cao Su turned from the main road into the luxurious residential area nearby. Before buying an investment property, he had to buy a villa for himself. Staying in a hotel all day was not a long-term solution. Moreover, according to the current housing prices in Shencheng, he would take 500 million yuan and add it to the bank loan to invest in a house. The investments were usually in school districts, two or three houses in areas with high appreciation potential, and so on. Assuming that a house cost 5 million yuan, and he was aiming for 100 units. This was not a workload that he could handle alone. This was a simple calculation of buying a house in full. In fact, investors would not pay in full when buying a house. He had to find help! A tycoon couldn¡¯t let his life be stuck in such a mechanical and repetitive routine. Of course, there was a continuous, mechanical, and round-trip movement that the tycoons loved! Both sides of the street were very quiet, and there were large floors with unique shapes and excellent lighting on both sides of the road. Cao Su drove the car and slowly drove into the villa, Shengshi Mansion, which had opened recently. It was built by Wanke, the leading real estate company in Shencheng. Walking into the elegant and cool sales center, a beautiful saleswoman quickly greeted him. ¡°Hello, sir!¡± Now why was the female salesperson of the villa so beautiful? If it was a partnership between an intermediary company and the sales department, the average salesperson¡¯s commission was about 0.03%. If it was the sales department¡¯s own staff, the commission ratio would be around 0.5%. The specific ratio depended on the details. According to the usual practice, for a villa worth 50 million yuan, the commission from the intermediary sales would be 150,000 yuan. The real estate company¡¯s salary amounted to 250,000 yuan. Selling two villas in a year was more than most office workers. In the summer of 2013, the real estate industry was still booming. Cao Su nodded at the fair-skinned girl and casually threw a scanner over. ¡°Let me take a look at your villa.¡± The girl smiled appropriately and exchanged a few pleasantries with Cao Su. ¡°Our Shengshi Residence was newly opened a month ago. Our capital verification requirement is 8 million yuan.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cao Su handed his ordinary aqua blue bank card issued by the Shencheng Commercial Bank to the beautiful woman in front of him. He sat on the beautiful, comfortable sales center sofa and looked around. He felt a little emotional. He is a middle-aged man, of course, and he wouldn¡¯t go manic about getting looked down at when asking for capital verification. That was too childish. He was appalled that some houses were not even worth looking at without money. It was similar to some seafood merchants. If you don¡¯t pay upfront, they won¡¯t open the door. Jiang Yingying took the bank card to the service desk to verify the capital. The finance girl swiped her card and was so surprised that her mouth and legs could not close. How many zeros were there? He made a gesture to Jiang Yingying and said, ¡°Super rich!¡± According to the company¡¯s regulations, she could not disclose the balance shown by the client during the capital verification. But there was always a way to work around it, right? A man with nearly 1 billion in his bank account! She felt that his entire body emitted a golden sheen. This was the customer with the highest rating during any capital verification she had carried out since the opening. Unfortunately, she was in finance, not sales, or she would¡¯ve definitely negotiated a business deal worth hundreds of millions with him! Jiang Yingying immediately knew what was going on. She took the aqua-blue bank card and walked in front of Cao Su in high heels. She bowed and said respectfully,¡± Mr. Cao, the capital verification has been approved. This is your card.¡± According to etiquette, she should have squatted down and returned the card. But wasn¡¯t bending over more attractive? She was 23 this year and had dabbled in the real estate sales industry since her third undergraduate year. She was 1.66 meters tall and wore the same sales uniform. She wore a dark gray short-sleeved shirt, a blue one-piece skirt, and flesh-colored stockings. The slim-fitting uniform accentuated her fair and supple skin¡ªa delicate and exquisite beauty. Cao Su had just scanned through her data. [Jiang Yingying, Age 23, Looks 92, Figure 91, Specialty 89] Cao Su was admiring the scenery under the collar of her short-sleeved shirt. It was similar to the beauty of Qin Yuhan from Wanhai Car Dealership. Qin Yuhan was taller, and Jiang Yingying was prettier. He smiled and nodded at her before inserting the bank card back into the inner layer of Hermes ¡®handbag. Jiang Yingying¡¯s pretty face immediately flushed red. She didn¡¯t expect Cao Su to nod at her after appreciating it! Suppressing her emotions, Jiang Yingying got up and sat on the leather sofa at the side. Under the blue hip skirt, she wore a pair of well-proportioned white legs with flesh-colored stockings. She sat elegantly and said, ¡°Mr. Cao, because of the housing management department¡¯s purchase restriction policy, I still need to confirm the property under your name and your marital status.¡± Cao Su took a sip of the refreshing lemon water and replied, ¡°I¡¯m unmarried, and I don¡¯t have any real estate under my name, nor do I have any records of housing loans.¡± How could a 30-year-old man not think about buying a house? Whether he could afford it or not was another matter. He was very clear about the process and the rules of the house purchase qualification. This was another sad story. Without a house, there would be no competition in the marriage market! His friend, Jiang Wenxuan, from the Da Lan Corporation, had encountered this problem. He was prepared to empty his savings to buy real estate. Of course, he was now detached and did not need to hang himself on the marriage market for others to pick and choose. Upon hearing that Cao Su was unmarried, the smile on Yingying¡¯s fair face became even more charming. She suggested, ¡°Mr. Cao, let me show you around the villa first. The villa area is relatively large. I¡¯ll introduce you to the details on the way.¡± Cao Su did not immediately agree. Instead, he tilted his head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation over there?¡± He was referring to a small round table under the billboard three to five meters away. An extremely beautiful female salesperson in a dark blue short-sleeved dress was talking to a young and handsome man. The two seemed to have a dispute. He had noticed it when Jiang Yingying went to verify the capital. He also scanned through the girl¡¯s information. [Chen Wu, Age 22, Beauty 96, Figure 95, Specialty 95] These three points were too high. This was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Jiang Yingying sighed in her heart. ¡°Men always see the most beautiful girl in their sales center at first glance.¡± She whispered, ¡°Mr. Cao, he is Chen Wu¡¯s admirer. He comes to see the house every day with the excuse of pestering Xiao Chen to explain the villa to him.¡± ¡°There¡¯s even such a thing?¡± Cao Su asked in surprise. ¡°He meets the criteria to buy a house,¡± Jiang Yingying said. ¡°He has tens of millions on his card. We can¡¯t turn away potential customers. ¡°Call him along,¡± Cao Su said.¡± All men had the dream of serving justice in their bones. If the person they were serving was a beautiful woman, it would be even more so. Jiang Yingying quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart and said in a tender voice, ¡°Alright, Mr. Cao. Let¡¯s wait for Xiao Chen at the door.¡± She took out her phone and sent Chen Wu a WeChat message. Cao Su and Jiang Yingying had just arrived at the entrance of the sales center when the heat wave outside burst. The slender and beautiful Chen Wu walked over in high heels and thanked them. ¡°Sister Ying, thank you. Let¡¯s go.¡± She was annoyed by her pursuer, but she was helpless. The handsome young man, He Xiaohui, who was chasing after them, said unhappily,¡± Jiang Yingying, what do you mean? You¡¯re ruining my plans, aren¡¯t you? She doesn¡¯t have the guts!¡± He Xiaohui sized up the man beside Jiang Yingying. He was tall and slightly plump, dressed in Connery¡¯s business casual attire. He was about 30 years old and came alone to look at the house. There were no attendants, mistresses, or bodyguards around him. He tried to guess this man¡¯s identity. ¡°Young Master He, Chen Wu is my disciple. I need her some help with an order.¡± I¡¯m sorry!¡± He Xiaohui waved at Jiang Yingying angrily, signaling her playfully. Looking at Cao Su¡¯s physique, he reckoned that he could not beat him. ¡°Hello, brother!¡± My name is He Xiaohui.¡± ¡°Hello. Cao Su.¡± Cao Su reached out to shake his hand, laughing in his heart. Were all the rich second-generation heirs and villains in real life so civilized and intelligent? They all knew to get in touch with each other first before causing trouble. ¡°I like Chen Wu very much, so I hope Brother Cao can be magnanimous and help us. I¡¯ll definitely treat you to a drink at the wedding ceremony.¡± What sort of nonsense was that? Cao Su waved his hand. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. I¡¯m in a hurry. Little Jiang, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Okay, Brother Cao.¡± Seeing Cao Su¡¯s arrogance, He Xiaohui almost couldn¡¯t suppress the anger in his heart. He followed the three of them into the scorching sun. Jiang Yingying, the fair and delicate beauty, was about to get her car. The four of them moved forward. As He Xiaohui walked, he argued with Cao Su, ¡°Brother Cao, your Vacheron Constantin Heritage Series 43175/000P-B190 is priced at 840,000 yuan in the authentic store.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t match the 100,000-yuan Connelly casual outfit you¡¯re wearing. The combination is a failure! ¡°If I were to match it, I would first change the watch to an Audemars Piguet from one of the top three luxury watch series. It would be low-key enough to wear in China. Their Royal Oak is very good.¡± Cao Su ignored him. He Xiaohui¡¯s words belittled him, but at the same time, it was also a self-display. He Xiaohui could recognize the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist at a glance and even told him the model number. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family and often came into contact with these things.

Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was a mid-August afternoon in Shencheng. The sun was scorching, baking everything it touched to a dry crisp. It made the concrete floor outside the Shengshi Residence seem to smoke. The handsome 19-year-old He Xiaohui saw that Cao Su did not respond and continued, ¡°Brother Cao, according to the rational consumption allocation of the typical rich, excluding real estate, tens of millions of assets have already been allocated to a million-yuan luxury car and a two hundred thousand yuan watch. ¡°After conversion, excluding fixed assets, your assets are about 50 million? Wouldn¡¯t you be a little tight on funds to buy a villa in Shengshi Mansion?¡± Cao Su smiled. A young man was a young man, and he couldn¡¯t keep his cool! He cut his own flesh with a small knife each time he opened his mouth, secretly tearing himself apart. Now that was rational consumption allocation! Hehe. Of course, he also had to look at this young man¡¯s strengths. He had probably been in the circle of wealthy second-generation heirs for a long time and had some survival skills. His degree of provocation was still acceptable. If he were to fall out with this young man now, he would get beaten up a few times at most. Jiang Yingying¡¯s car was parked on the curb outside the sales center. It was about 20 meters away, and they arrived the moment the conversation ended. If it weren¡¯t for Cao Su¡¯s words just now, she would definitely have asked the distinguished guest to wait at the door. She drove over. It was an orange Bentley that the company had allocated for her. Jiang Yingying saw He Xiaohui following her closely and suggested, ¡°Xiao Chen, why don¡¯t you take Mr. Cao¡¯s car?¡± The pure and beautiful Chen Wu, with her slender and curvy figure in a dark blue short-sleeved dress, replied, ¡°Okay, Sister Ying.¡± He Xiaohui glared at Jiang Yingying in displeasure. He had seen through her intentions! He didn¡¯t know Cao Su¡¯s identity and probed. He was not an idiot! However, a property saleswoman rarely had a good temper or patience. ¡°Chen Wu, take my car!¡± He Xiaohui invited with a smile. I just picked up a Porsche 911. It¡¯s very fast. My mother gave me more than 200 yuan of pocket money.¡± Of course, he knew that Chen Wu wouldn¡¯t agree, but he had to say it out loud, mainly to compete with Cao Su! His tone was inevitably a little smug. Firstly, he really liked this sports car. Secondly, middle-aged men usually drove either a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz, or a low-key Volkswagen. His sports car should be enough to quash them. Cao Su smiled lightly and took out the car key from his hand pouch. A sky-blue Bentley Speedster five parking spaces away lit up. It was a classic British Bentley with an elegant temperament. Its looks might not be considered striking among luxury cars, but its grand opulence would instantly move hearts. Coincidentally, there was a titanium grey Porsche 911 next to him. He Xiaohui¡¯s face instantly turned red. That was his car. He nagged for a long time along the way, secretly mocking Cao Su. First, he said his pairing skills were poor, then asked if he was short of funds. Was that rational? In the end, he was instantly killed on the spot! How could he not recognize the 2012 limited edition Bentley Flying Spur? The official guide price was 5.18 million. In addition to the selection and various taxes, it would cost more than six million yuan. It was equivalent to the cost of three 911s. Most importantly, it was in front of the goddess he liked. Cao Su looked at the embarrassed Little He and said to the two girls, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Ying Ying, Chen Wu, you two take my car.¡± Jiang Yingying was glared at by Little He just now, and he naturally saw it. Jiang Yingying had offended someone for him, so of course, he had to protect her. This girl was very clever and knew how to determine the emperor¡¯s intentions! ¡°Hehe.¡± She glanced at He Xiaohui, who was always bragging in front of her. Let¡¯s see how far you can flex now. The three of them walked towards the sky-blue Bentley. He Xiaohui stood rooted to the ground. He looked at the backs of the three people and thought for a moment. He was too ashamed to follow them. He had to be thick-skinned to pick girls, but he knew that there was a billionaire in their midst today. What good could he do if he went up to her? Let¡¯s wait and see. The Shengshi Mansion villa area was located in the Shencheng Bay area, just north of the Shencheng Talent Park near the sea. The interior was indeed very large. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and there were many European-style villas. Under Jiang Yingying¡¯s guidance, Cao Su slowly drove to a villa. White wooden fences, a pointed maroon roof, and a lawn by the front door¡­ in the middle of summer, the lawn was lush and exotic. Jiang Yingying smiled as she got out of the car. ¡°Brother Cao, let¡¯s take a look at this villa first. It¡¯s a fully furnished model unit. This is the largest villa in our Shengshi Residence. Two floors underground and two floors above ground. 867 square meters. There is also a temperature-controlled wine cellar below.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Cao Su got out of the car and followed Jiang Yingying and Chen Wu inside. He had a good chat with them in the car just now. Jiang Yingying had long seen him driving a Bentley, so she suggested that he drive Chen Wu. The interior of the villa was decorated in a classical style. The European closets and wine cabinets were all designed with ingenuity, and every detail revealed luxury. Chen Wu accompanied Cao Su as she listened to Sister Ying¡¯s explanation. In the car, Sister Ying said half-jokingly, ¡°Xiao Chen, Brother Cao saw Young Master He pestering you, so he personally asked you to show him the house. You have to put in your heart for this sale! Take me to get a nice sale, will you?¡± Regardless of whether Brother Cao had feelings for her, he still helped her out of her predicament. Thus, she was still grateful to him. Of course, her initial impression of him was quite good. He was not in a hurry to show off his achievements and chat with her. Instead, he was talking about the house with Sister Ying. After looking around the room, the three of them stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the large living room on the second floor. ¡°Little Jiang, how much is the rough price of this villa?¡± asked Cao Su. The fair-skinned beauty, Jiang Yingying, smiled coquettishly and said, ¡°Brother Cao, about 120 million. If you pay in full, we can offer a larger discount.¡± Cao Su couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Who would buy a villa in full? What then would be the potential for appreciation?¡± ¡°Brother Cao, why are you asking me when you know what¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yingying smiled. The housing prices in Shencheng would definitely rise in the long run. Moreover, Shencheng Bay was clearly listed as a key development and construction area in the next few years. ¡°If you purchase this property with a bank loan and under the premise of currency depreciation, you will definitely profit in the future.¡± Cao Su looked at this fair and delicate beauty in surprise. ¡°You know this?¡± It was a simple principle, but at least 30% of the young people in the country did not understand it. In this year¡¯s environment, there was no lack of bearish voices on housing prices. Many young people followed suit and kept holding off on their purchases, hoping to land a better deal. However, for ordinary people, real estate was the safest investment to deal with currency depreciations! Thus, the youth should secure a bank loan and buy a big house as soon as possible. The larger the loan and the longer the term, the better. That way, your hard-earned money would be able to keep up with the rate of currency depreciation. It was only by chance that he understood this principle. There was an old employee who played football in the Da Lan Corporation. He came to Shen Cheng early and bought a house early. Ten years later, his monthly payment was 3,000. You could count the debts there yourself! Chen Wu interjected, ¡°Brother Cao, Sister Ying is a top graduate from Guangdong University of Finance.¡± ¡°No wonder!¡± Cao Su laughed. However, the appreciation potential of the villa was still not as high as a 70-year property. ¡°How much is the commission for the two of you to sell Shengshi Mansion?¡± ¡°Xiao Chen and I both chose the most radical salary plan,¡± said Jiang Yingying. ¡°Both of us get a commission of 0.8%.¡± Cao Su nodded. ¡°If I buy this large villa, your commission will be 960,000 yuan. I need your help with something. I have some funds on hand and am prepared to buy a house to invest in. Help me run some errands. ¡°Help me do a preliminary screening and deal with some trivial matters.¡± Cao Su¡¯s scheme was revealed. He had no intention of buying an investment house alone. When he came to Shengshi Residences to look at the house, he was still looking for help. Jiang Yingying¡¯s performance was not bad. He fancied this beauty. Jiang Yingying understood what he meant and didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. All she could conclude was that the rich had many quirks! Just now, this Brother Cao had just admired the beautiful scenery of her snowy peaks and even nodded at her. He had openly taken advantage of her. He was a veteran LSP. The prerequisite for buying a house was not for her to repay the favor. With such a high commission and Brother Cao¡¯s request, she would probably agree after some hesitation. In the end, he wanted her and Xiao Chen to run errands for him for free. Chen Wu was dying to take this order, and she looked at Jiang Yingying with a drooling mouth. This requirement was very low. It was better than asking to sleep with them. Even if Brother Cao took out a loan to buy a villa, he would still have to take out 36 million yuan. How much money would he have left to invest in a house? Ten units at most. It would be done in a few days. Jiang Yingying also understood this and said happily, ¡°Brother Cao, thank you for your trust in us. We will comply with your requests. How much money are you prepared to invest in real estate?¡± ¡°Five hundred million!¡± How much? Jiang Yingying opened her mouth slightly and stared blankly at Cao Su. Chen Wu was also confused, her watery eyes looking at Cao Su: ¡°¡­¡± The two of them were really shocked, speechless by the ridiculous amount. So the villa was the small blind, but the big blind was behind! At the same time, they regretted that they were still too young and agreed so quickly! They were all real estate brokers, and this was the estimated number of 100 units. It was killing her. Were they in for a scam by this Brother Cao? Cao Su felt that the two little girls ¡®dumbfounded looks were quite cute, so he said confidently, ¡°It will take at most a week for you to get to the ground. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat the two of you to a meal and chat while eating.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was just after 4:30 in the afternoon, and the sun was lazy and blazing. Cao Su drove his sky-blue Bentley, carrying two unique beauties, to the Kempinski Hotel on the seaside avenue for dinner. If this were a roadster, and with the looks of this car and the two beauties, Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying, in it, they would definitely be the hottest guys on the road! Shengshi Mansion was relatively close to the seaside avenue. After driving out, they arrived in about ten minutes. The chubby beauty, Xia Ya, the private butler of the hotel, was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel in a suit. She was elegant and dignified. She smiled intimately and said, ¡°Mr. Cao, everything has been arranged.¡± ¡°Little Xia, thank you.¡± Cao Su thanked him. He had always treated this plump beauty differently. That kind of thought could only be understood but not conveyed. As he spoke, Cao Su threw the keys to the valet, took his Hermes handbag, and brought Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying to the French restaurant on the fifth floor. Xia Ya smiled slightly. The beautiful woman was as charming as a mellow wine. She was half a body ahead of Cao Su and led the way. At the same time, she reported,¡± ¡°Mr. Cao, Miss Qin has already driven the Ferrari back. I asked the waiter to park it in the underground garage. I left the key on the study table.¡± Cao Su smiled and nodded. He walked into the elegant French restaurant with the three women and sat down by the window. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, and the ebb and flow of the tide. A crystal chandelier hung above everyone¡¯s head, and the carpet and fabric were elegant and noble. It was all very contemporary. Wearing a dark blue short-sleeved dress, Chen Wu sat quietly in this elegant and comfortable environment. It was really enjoyable to eat here! She had just graduated from Sun Yat-sen University with a major in accounting this year. With her beauty, there were rich second-generation heirs or successful people who pursued her in school and wanted to treat her to dinner. But she didn¡¯t dare to agree. The fair-skinned Jiang Yingying was very relaxed. She put down her handbag and took out her phone to take a photo. She had been working for nearly three years, and a meal at a French restaurant in a five-star hotel cost only a few thousand yuan. She had been there a few times. The environment here at the Kempinski Hotel was really pleasant. Thus the life of a rich man. The two of them moved and fell silent. It was really enjoyable to watch. Xia Ya dutifully informed the kitchen to serve the dishes. The appetizer was fish and shrimp jelly with green bean paste. A French man with a big nose and a tall white chef¡¯s hat came out and spoke a few words in French. Xia Ya translated. ¡°I¡¯m Jean Cornell, the executive chef of the Kempinski Hotel. Ladies and gentlemen, it¡¯s my pleasure to serve you. I hope you have a good meal.¡± Cao Su was very stable now. After all, he was full of confidence. He smiled and nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± The executive chef returned to the kitchen to cook, and Xia Ya completed her duty and left the restaurant. The waiters served all kinds of dishes one after another. Clear soup. The main course was a steak pan-fried with vanilla and Brandy, morel mushrooms with Madeira sauce, red wine foie gras, and steamed dragon. He even ordered a vegetable salad. Nowadays, the concept of health and wellness was gradually becoming popular. Cao Su, Chen Wu, and Jiang Yingying were enjoying the delicious food and beautiful scenery. They chatted harmoniously. Of course, it was related to the topic of investing in a house. Cao Su took a sip of champagne and asked, ¡°Is the steak okay?¡± Chen Wu nodded honestly, ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± After she spoke, she felt a little embarrassed. Her exquisite face blushed slightly, and she was extremely charming. The steak on the plate in front of her had the aroma of wine, and there were broccoli, tomatoes, and corn around it. She cut the steak into small pieces and put them into her mouth. Streams of gravy were squeezed out of the beef, making her taste buds bloom. It was indeed many times more delicious than most Western food set meals she had eaten before. Cao Su smiled and nodded. This beauty was really nice. He was a common man, and when he met a beauty like Chen Wu, he naturally wanted to improve his friendship with her. His question just now was a little pretentious, and he didn¡¯t grasp the scale well. Forgive him for being a nouveau riche. ¡°That¡¯s what I plan to do.¡± He would spend a week choosing and purchasing ten or twenty properties. Full payment. Then, he would use this batch of properties to get a bank loan. I¡¯ll let my assistant handle the follow-up. ¡°The two of you will mainly help me with the preliminary work.¡± Jiang Yingying patted her chest as if she was relieved and said in a delicate voice, ¡°Alright, Brother Cao. You scared Xiao Chen and me in Shengshi Mansion.¡± Chen Wu looked at Cao Su with her almond-shaped eyes and nodded. Cao Su smiled. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then. We start work tomorrow. To our collaboration!¡± The three of them raised their glasses. After dinner, Cao Su asked Xia Ya to arrange a car to send them back. The two of them rented a place in a farmer¡¯s village near Nanshan Hill, which was on the way. A red Maserati was parked at the entrance of the hotel. Jiang Yingying and Chen Wu got into the car one after another. Cao Su waved goodbye to them and took Xia Ya back to the presidential suite. After returning to the suite, Cao Su gave her four 100-yuan bills as tips, thereby solving the problem of investing in a helper to buy a house. He was in a good mood. As for his development with Chen Wu, he would take it slow. Cao Su sat comfortably on the sofa and ordered, ¡°Xiao Xia, your hotel has a spa, right? Help me arrange it. I¡¯m going for a massage. I want a skilled and beautiful technician.¡± He was a little tired from playing last night, and he didn¡¯t have a nap today. The soreness in his body gradually increased. Don¡¯t ask him what he used to block the mouth of the beauty in the white dress, Tang Man, when he sent Xia Ya a WeChat message last night. Xia Ya couldn¡¯t help but laugh at Cao Su and joked, ¡°Mr. Cao, the skilled technicians in our spa center are not beautiful. Those who are beautiful have poor skills.¡± She and Cao Su gradually became familiar and spoke very intimately. Cao Su smiled. ¡°Then choose someone with good skills.¡± Xia Ya chuckled, covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and left in her high heels. Sitting in the red Maserati, Jiang Yingying looked back and saw Cao Su watching them from the door. She smiled and said, ¡°Xiao Chen, how did you feel about this meal? Do you feel like you¡¯ve just left the wolf¡¯s mouth and entered the tiger¡¯s den?¡± Chen Wu was obviously more relaxed in front of Jiang Yingying. She couldn¡¯t help but nod with a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m used to it. At least Brother Cao was much more gentlemanly than He Xiaohui.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Jiang Yingying agreed. Brother Cao was on a much higher level than He Xiaohui. His disposable wealth was not something that the second generation could compare to. Moreover, he was unmarried¡ªCarpe diem. Chen Wu quickly denied, ¡°Sister Ying, there¡¯s no such thing.¡± Jiang Yingying smiled and shook her head. Silly girl, haven¡¯t you been beaten up enough by life? Why is a famous graduate from Sun Yat-sen University selling houses? She sent Cao Su a WeChat message, ¡°Brother Cao, do you want to eat fragrant meat buns tomorrow morning? I¡¯ll send it to you.¡± ¡°Little Ying, I just ate a big meat bun this morning. Another day.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A round red sun rose on Friday morning, piercing its golden rays into the dark streets and alleys. Streams of private cars entered and exited the three gates of the Nanshan Industrial Park of Da Lan Corporation. Of course, there were also employees who rode bicycles or walked to work. The joys and sorrows of life differed between people, and so did their wages. Amid the endless stream of traffic entering the factory, a fiery red Ferrari stood out. It was as dazzling as a flame and as charming as a bright red rose. Many experienced and spirited drivers were envious and carefully distanced themselves from the Ferrari. ¡°F*ck, if I accidentally scratch it, I¡¯ll have worked for nothing for a few months. At the same time, they were discussing in their respective chat groups. Which department was this colleague from?¡± After the red Ferrari entered the factory, it headed towards the product department building. ¡°F*ck, isn¡¯t the Maserati that the project manager Yu Ping drives the best in the product department building?¡± ¡°Quickly ask the people in the product department.¡± Other than enterprises, hospitals, and schools, most of the companies in Shencheng started office at nine in the morning. Therefore, many employees who arrived early would go to the company cafeteria for breakfast before going to work. Several employees of the product department¡¯s art design team were having breakfast together on the second floor of the third canteen. This was the canteen closest to the product department building. All kinds of dishes in a variety of flavors were on offer for breakfast: White porridge, millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, all manner of steamed buns, shumai, steamed rolls, fried dumplings, rice rolls, eggs, noodles, and pancakes. Zhan Boyu, the popular person in the group, took a plate and sat opposite a young girl with skin as white as milk and a good figure. He smiled and asked, ¡°Lu Zi, what are you guys talking about?¡± Lu Zi was a university student who had just joined this year. She graduated from Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology. She had a 1.66-meter figure, large hips, and a gentle and beautiful beauty. Out of habit, she covered the collar of her green dress with her hand. She was very annoyed. He ate the fried rice with a spoon and said, ¡°They¡¯re talking about Brother Cao throwing a million dollars at the White Maple Bar last Friday.¡± ¡°Brother Cao was bloody awesome!¡± A boy said enviously. ¡°He apparently took home two top-notch beauties that night.¡± He envied such a life. How could a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old single man not yearn to release his hormones and harvest fungus in a bar in a big city like Shencheng? People¡¯s impression of Cao Su in the company was that he was an ¡°honest man: Diligence, hard work, quality, and quantity. However, the younger employees in the group still respected him. Think about it, such a senior employee was willing to help you with some work when you were busy and was even willing to teach you. Would such a person really be disliked by the team? It was just that the Da Lan Corporation was huge, had complicated shares, and was a private enterprise. Promotions were decided by the higher-ups. As the saying went, kindness only came from above! Zhan Baiyu didn¡¯t like to hear this. He hadn¡¯t forgotten the grudge Cao Su had with him last Friday. However, in front of the girl he liked, Lu Zi, he did not want to appear unprofessional. ¡°Really?¡± he asked with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s true! Shen Mingze from the testing department said so. ¡°He and Cao are friends,¡± Zhan Baiyu said with a smile. Maybe he was helping Old Cao brag! Didn¡¯t CEO Qi approve Old Cao¡¯s resignation form? I heard that the project manager, Yu Ping, is going to release the project review meeting records today.¡± The meaning behind his words was obvious. An honest person would still be sacrificed by Yu Ping for the project¡¯s failure! So, how credible was it to say that he had spent millions in a bar? Would Yu Ping not verify it? The people in the group more or less understood the grudge between Zhan Baiyu and Cao Su. They could only say that Brother Mei¡¯s management methods were amazing. The topic changed. Someone laughed and said, ¡°Hey, someone from our company drives a Ferrari to work. They were photographed at the main entrance.¡± ¡± F*ck! F*ck!¡± They had almost finished their breakfast. Everyone crowded around Lu Zi and left the second floor of the third canteen, discussing who the Ferrari belonged to. As for why no one suspected that the car belonged to the boss? They weren¡¯t that naive. Would the boss come to the company at the same time as his office workers? The group of five walked out of the cafeteria and walked straight on the tree-lined road for dozens of meters before reaching the side of the product department building. There was an open space there. It was the company¡¯s parking lot No. 3. The five of them chatted and laughed as they tried to guess the owner¡¯s identity. They happened to see the fiery red Ferrari slowly park in the parking lot like a beauty. Then, the Ferrari turned off, and Cao Su walked out of the car. The morning sun shone on his tall and straight figure, making him seem extremely dazzling and radiant. F*ck! Zhan Bai Yu, Lu Zi, and the other five looked at each other. Who can tell me what¡¯s going on? Zhan Bai Yu¡¯s expression instantly became a little ugly, unlike the gentle and beautiful Lu Zi or the others who were shocked. F*ck me. Cao Su didn¡¯t see his colleagues on his team. He felt that some of the colleagues passing by were taking photos of him and his car, but he didn¡¯t pay too much attention. He took his handbag and walked quickly to the product department building, straight to the fifth floor. He spent four days with Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying, buying houses all over the city. The first choice was the school district. Then, it was the regional sector with huge appreciation potential. Twelve units had been finalized, and the transfer procedures would have to wait until next week. In a big city like Shencheng, the housing prices in many core areas should have soared long ago. If he bought more, the inflation shouldn¡¯t exceed the average. He had been exercising a lot for the past few days and insisted on going to the hotel gym for half an hour in the morning. In the evening, he would ask Yue Xi, the technician recommended by Xia Ya, the butler of the presidential suite, to come and massage him. He had never forgotten the system¡¯s first main mission: To walk 10 kilometers. He had trained most of the time and would complete the mission this weekend. Xia Ya had joked with him that day. How could a five-star hotel¡¯s spa not have a few top brands and top-notch products? What a joke! Yue Xi¡¯s looks and skills were top-notch. The only drawback was that he liked her to get off the bus halfway and kill her without burying her. Yesterday afternoon, he received a call from an HR employee informing him that the resignation approval process had been completed. He was asked to come to the company in the next two days to complete the resignation procedures. Of course, he would not delay! Wasn¡¯t the life of a tycoon good? The office area on the fifth floor was orderly, with the silence and noise of work. Everyone was busy with their own work, and some people were making phone calls to communicate. Cao Su walked to his desk, skillfully turned on his computer, and pulled out the resignation application form. The vice president had indeed approved it of the business department. He immediately clicked to print it. He would then take this bill to the president¡¯s office to have it stamped, and then he could find the finance department to settle the bill. The printer was at the entrance of the office area. While waiting to be printed, Cao Su was packing up his personal belongings. A few young men who came to work walked past his desk and smiled.¡±Good morning, Brother Cao!¡± ¡°Morning!¡± Cao Su was a little surprised and responded appropriately. He had a rough idea in his heart. Shen Mingze, this little brother of his, was very helpful in building up momentum in the company. Leaning comfortably in the soft chair, Cao Su sent Shen Mingze a WeChat message. ¡°Shen Mingze, find a top-class nightclub tonight and book a convenient private room for us to talk. My treat.¡± Shen Mingze quickly replied, ¡°(smiley emoji) Okay, Brother Cao!¡± Cao Su put down his phone and looked at the resignation form that was being printed. There was a Russian proverb that said, ¡°The greater the resistance, the thicker the iron rod.¡± Yu Ping had yet to release the project summary, and she still intended to mess with him. Super double! At this moment, Cao Su heard a soft cry. Then, he saw the fair-skinned young woman, Yu Ping, walking straight towards him in her high heels. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The news of Cao Su¡¯s investment in stocks had been circulating in the electronic product development department of Da Lan Corporation for the past week. This statement was said by Cao Su¡¯s friend, Jiang Wenxuan. At the same time, there was also the case of Cao Su throwing a million yuan in the bar as evidence. Shen Mingze and Tang Run were witnesses. When the project manager, Yu Ping, wanted to ¡°fire¡± Cao Su, so many people were in the office area on the fifth floor of the product department building. The people from the other departments could just listen to their estimates. Cao Su had previously worked on the fifth floor. Anyone who had such a character by their side would find it novel. There was a good show to watch! Meanwhile, Yu Ping, the 32-year-old workaholic in the workplace, walked to Cao Su¡¯s office in high heels and said sincerely, ¡°Cao Su, the TD0017 project failed. As the project manager, I bear the main responsibility. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent out the minutes of the project review meeting. I lost my temper because I was under too much pressure. It was wrong to list you as the second person in charge. I¡¯m apologizing to you now. I hope you can forgive me!¡± As she spoke, she faced Cao Su and bowed 90 degrees. The 20-odd art design team members were all dumbfounded by this scene. ¡°This¡­ Can you believe it?¡± The powerful project manager, Yu Ping, whose position was equivalent to the head of the product department, actually apologized to the company¡¯s most basic employee, Cao Su, who was recognized as an honest man! Cao Su sat in his office chair and watched the young woman in a classic black dress and white shirt bow and sell herself. He had a good view from this angle, but his heart was calm. He had already experienced too much in the past few days! As the saying went: if you had money to be the main character of a video, you won¡¯t have any left to buy domestic products. Yu Ping waited for minutes. Seeing that Cao Su did not relent, the anger in her heart was indescribable, but feelings of grievance and fear immediately suppressed it. He had no choice but to plead, ¡°Cao Su, you¡¯re magnanimous, aren¡¯t you? Please forgive me!¡± She had no personal relationship with Shen Mingze. However, she had made several dates with the handsome Tang Run from the Material Management Department. Would she dare to count on him to keep her secret? She wouldn¡¯t dare. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Cao Su sneered. ¡°And magnanimous?! How can you repay kindness with kindness? However, since you have not caused irreparable damage to my reputation and have publicly apologized, that¡¯s it!¡± Yu Ping heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She straightened up and said again,¡± Thank you!¡± She turned around and left, ignoring the commotion caused by her public apology. Cao Su drove a red Ferrari to the company this morning. This made her certain that Shen Mingze was telling her about the ¡°bar story.¡± Therefore, she decisively sent out the meeting minutes to eliminate the impact of leaving Cao Su behind. Furthermore, she even approached the fifth floor to apologize in public. Apologizing in front of everyone would definitely cause a storm. However, this Ferrari would also become the reason for her explanation to CEO Qi. She was just a middle-level manager. How dare she offend a man who drove a Ferrari? In the office area on the fifth floor, no one expected that the so-called good show was actually the opposite! Seeing Yu Ping leave, the onlookers busied themselves. However, the aftermath of this storm would definitely be a shocker. Cao Su sent Yu Ping away, but he didn¡¯t feel any emotions. He had long expected to be able to resolve this mess. It didn¡¯t make much of a difference to him whether he wanted to settle it early or if he wanted to settle it after it blew up. He had plenty of time to play with Yu Ping! Now, he could only say that this woman was indeed capable. She was able to make a living in the electronics department of the Da Lan Corporation. After entering society, he would meet all kinds of people. However, he would never be someone like Yu Ping. A real man had to do something! He could not bully someone just because they were ¡°honest.¡± He could not let his knees go weak just because someone was strong. A person always had to have some persistence in his heart. Cao Su packed his things into a cardboard box. When he was about to leave with the cardboard box, Mei Qian, the head of the art department, stood up with a smile and said from a few workstations away, ¡°Old Cao, the team will treat you to a meal tonight. Our colleagues in the team will do it for you.¡± Cao Su smiled calmly. Was Mei Qian shocked by Yu Ping¡¯s apology? ¡°I have something to do tonight.¡± He sent Shen Mingze a WeChat message not long ago, saying they would go to the nightclub tonight. Originally, he was prepared to double Yu Ping¡¯s strength. Since the matter had been resolved, there was no need to go back on his word about treating. It was fine if they didn¡¯t talk about Yu Ping. A week ago, when he received the Tycoon God System, he asked Shen Mingze what he would do with money. Little comrade Shen yearned to be a courtesan. He also wanted to go and experience it. Mei Qian was not discouraged. She had heard Cao Su say with her own ears, ¡°Repaying evil with kindness. But how do you repay kindness? She continued to persuade him in public. Old Cao, you¡¯ve been working in the team for five years. Now that you¡¯re leaving, everyone will send you off. There was still some affection. Everyone, do you think it¡¯s a good idea? A few young group members also said, ¡°Brother Cao, agree. You taught me a lot of things after I joined the company. Let me make a toast to you.¡± Cao Su smiled and felt a little emotional. He said, ¡°Alright. Xiao Mei, you can make the arrangements.¡± Seeing that the little beauty in the group, Lu Zi, was also persuading him, he had also taught Lu Zi about work, so he threw a scan over. [Lu Zi, age 22. Appearance 90, Body 95, Specialty 93] This girl¡¯s figure was outstanding! Bigger was always better. The system gave her body a score of 95 points. According to the specialty sub-category, she had a boyfriend in university, and the number of times they interacted was few. ¡®I¡¯m indeed a layman! My colleagues in the group are all inviting me to dinner and attending my resignation ceremony. I was peeking at the three stats of the little beauty. However, this feeling of stealing was quite exciting.¡¯ Zhan Baiyu looked at this scene silently. No one knew what he was thinking. He stared at the computer and pretended to work seriously. From the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Su leaving with the cardboard box and heaved a long sigh of relief. At a certain moment just now, he felt very depressed. Cao Su placed the cardboard box on the floor of the small room at the entrance of the office area on the fifth floor and took his resignation application form from the exit of the printer. At this moment, his phone rang. It was the intermediary who helped him register his company. ¡°President Cao, your new company, The World, has been registered. Shall we send you the company¡¯s documents and official seal by express delivery?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to get it from you.¡± After hanging up the phone, Cao Su called Chang Ya from the headhunting company. ¡°Ms. Chang, my company has been registered.¡± ¡°Congratulations, President Cao. I¡¯ll arrange for an interview tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll send you the information of the people interested in the assistant position this week. I did a preliminary screening. If you are not satisfied with any of the candidates, give me an answer before four in the afternoon, and I will remove them from the interview list.¡± Cao Su: ¡°Conline and Conjugation.¡± ¡°President Cao, what¡¯s the name of your company?¡± ¡°The World!¡± Cao Su laughed. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a famous saying by Sima Yi was engraved on a silver coin: Clean up thousands of miles and unify the eight wastelands. Win over the hearts of the people and unify the world. Zhao¡¯er replied: If you can unify China, you can become a global hero! He felt the Sima father and son¡¯s words were so heroic they could reach the clouds. He admired them in his heart and gave his new company this name!

Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the small room, Cao Su hung up the call to the headhunter and called Xia Ya, the personal butler of the presidential suite of the Kempinski Hotel, to ask her to retrieve the license and official seal of The World Inc. Just as he was about to leave with his cardboard box, he happened to bump into Su Qing, an intern from the product experience department. Su Qing was in an exquisite white short-sleeved shirt today, paired with a high-waisted black mid-skirt, revealing her exquisite curves. The flesh-colored stockings decorated her round and straight legs. She had a standard oval-shaped face and big bright eyes. She was 1.6 meters tall, and her high heels accentuated her slim figure. She was a beautiful girl in every right. ¡°Hi, Brother Cao!¡± Su Qing smiled and waved her hand, her fingers flicking in the air in a lively manner. He took the initiative to greet Cao Su. ¡°I¡¯m here to get the printed documents.¡± Cao Su faintly smiled, but he did not greedily admire her peerlessly beautiful face. This girl had been interning in the company for more than ten days, and all the male colleagues in the industrial park knew her name. ¡°Hello, Su Qing!¡± The pure and beautiful beauty and the saleswoman with extremely high scores in all three categories, Chen Wu, accompanied him for four or five days, which made his resistance to beautiful women slightly higher so that he wouldn¡¯t lose his composure. Su Qing went to get the documents that kept spitting out from the printer. She turned around curiously and asked, ¡°Brother Cao, are you really leaving? They all said that you made a fortune investing in stocks and drive a red Ferrari sports car.¡± Cao Su smiled freely, ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Su Qing¡¯s curiosity seemed to have been satisfied as she laughed brightly and said in a clear voice,¡± Brother Cao, I wish you a safe journey!¡± Cao Su smiled. He more or less understood that Su Qing was not here to print documents but to talk to him. This was the difference between him and a week ago! A week ago, he had obtained the God Tycoon System, but when he saw the beautiful Su Qing walking towards him, he did not go up to greet her. It was because he couldn¡¯t prove that he was rich! Now, he wore Vacheron Constantin and drove a Ferrari sports car worth more than 4 million, which showed his strength. (Cao¡¯s talent is more than 100 million, and 100 million is a sign of talent.) Wealth was one of the cores of the competition for men. Didn¡¯t this attract Su Qing to take the initiative to talk to him? Su Qing had probably seen Yu Ping¡¯s apology. All the rumors about his wealth in the company were confirmed. This was the aftermath! ¡°Thank you! Su Qing, give me your phone number. We¡¯ll keep in touch.¡± Cao Su took the initiative. This curvy and exquisite beauty was breathtaking in stockings. He had seen her wear white, black, and flesh colors. He hoped to have the opportunity to taste her alone and have an in-depth conversation with her. It was fate that such a beauty appeared in his life. He did not want to miss it. ¡°Brother Cao, let¡¯s add each other on WeChat.¡± Su Qing hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.¡± Cao Su took two steps closer to her and scanned the QR code to add her as a friend. A faint fragrance wafted up to his nose. It was meaningful and fresh, like her beauty, leaving an endless aftertaste. Cao Su carried the cardboard box down and placed it on the passenger seat of the Ferrari. Then, he took his handbag and resignation application form to the administrative building of the industrial park to find the president¡¯s office to stamp it. Walking on the tree-lined avenue of the industrial park of the Da Lan Corporation, the sun was arid at nine o¡¯clock in the morning. There were not many people outside during working hours. He was browsing through Su Qing¡¯s Moments and admiring her daily beautiful photos. Suddenly, a university classmate he rarely contacted called him. ¡°Cao Su, you¡¯re amazing! Yu Ping apologized to you in public. Where do you plan to go now?¡± Zheng Shaoning was his classmate from the same batch, software engineering class 4. He was a software engineer in the electronics department of Da Lan Corporation. Clearly, Zheng Shaoning was very well informed. ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet,¡± Cao Su replied as he walked. ¡°These words were perfunctory. When you speak to an acquaintance, you say 30% of what you need to say. His relationship with Zheng Shaoning was average. Zheng Shaoning said enthusiastically, ¡°Let¡¯s get together this weekend? I¡¯ll help you get all your university classmates in Shen City to send you off. How about tomorrow night? A few students from Yangcheng and Huicheng could also come over.¡± Cao Su thought about it and smiled. Although he didn¡¯t want Brother Tiger to talk about his current situation in the group, he still had the intention to attend the class reunion. Who didn¡¯t have some memories of their youth? Zheng Shaoning laughed, saying, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact them first and see if those classmates have time.¡± I¡¯ll tell you later.¡± A moment after he hung up, Cao Su got a WeChat notification that said that he was invited into a group of classmates by Zheng Shaoning. Zheng Shaoning sent a message, ¡°Welcome, President Cao!¡± He did not show the picture of Cao Su¡¯s red Ferrari sports car. A few students greeted him out of courtesy. The group¡¯s name was called Jiangzhou University¡¯s Grade 01 Computer Science Department. Their computer science department was divided into three majors: Computer science and technology, software engineering, and information security. Cao Su was not an active faculty member in the university, so he only interacted little with students from other majors. But if Zheng Shaoning and the others were to participate in the student union and the Youth League Committee, they would have a lot of dealings. Am I now at the mixed faculty level? Cao Su shook his head with a smile. He did not reply to the welcoming messages in the group and walked into the administrative building. Sometimes, people needed people like Zheng Shaoning to attend to and support them. Actually, he had a few classmates in the Da Lan Corporation other than Zheng Shaoning, but they were spread out in Hui City and Shencheng. There were also juniors. It was just that he had always been very distant from this circle. The president of the digital electronics department¡¯s office was located on the administrative building¡¯s third floor. After entering, he walked straight ahead and saw the ¡°President¡¯s Office¡± sign. As he walked into the room, there was a row of desks. The employees of the CEO¡¯s office were busy in front of their computers, and the real CEO¡¯s office was even deeper. Several pairs of eyes looked over. Cao Su said clearly, ¡°I¡¯m here to go through the resignation procedures and stamp my name.¡± ¡°Follow me!¡± A beautiful woman wearing a light pink T-shirt and a white dress stood up and greeted Cao Su. Cao Su walked into the room on his high heels. There was a mahogany desk in the room, but no one was working. All three sides were filled with various documents and official seals. It was completely hushed. The matte glass separated the room from the office outside. The soundproofing didn¡¯t block his line of sight. ¡°Senior Brother Cao, where¡¯s your resignation form?¡± Jiang Ran took the key and took out the CEO¡¯s office seal from the cabinet. Cao Su was slightly surprised to hear her call him ¡°Senior Brother Cao.¡± He took out the resignation application form that he folded from his handbag and handed it to her. He asked inquisitively, ¡°You graduated from Jiangzhou University too?¡± A scan was sent over. [Jiang Ran, age 25, looks 95, figure 95, specialty 93] Jiang Ran stamped the official seal, and the corners of her beautiful mouth curled up slightly. A smile appeared on her exquisite face as she said, ¡°I graduated from the University of Jianghai, Grade 6 Business School.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll have to get to know each other again.¡± Cao Su smiled. ¡°Hello, my name is Cao Su.¡± Jiang Ran couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She looked at Cao Su with her beautiful black gem-like eyes and took the initiative to reach out her fair and tender hand to shake Cao Su¡¯s hand. She said generously, ¡°Hello, my name is Jiang Ran. Senior Brother Cao, you¡¯re famous in the business department now.¡± Cao Su knew what was going on in his heart. He smiled and said, ¡°Is it spreading so fast? I feel like less than half an hour has passed.¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Ran smiled coquettishly. ¡°Driving a Ferrari to work, and the project manager apologizing in public. Wouldn¡¯t this spread?¡± Cao Su laughed and took out his phone, ¡°I¡¯ll add your WeChat.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Vientiane Shopping Mall outside the east gate of the electronics industrial park of Da Lan Group was magnificent and cool in the middle of summer. Throngs of people came and went at noon. Cao Su went to the Finance Department and the Security Department to complete the resignation procedures after he stamped his name in the CEO¡¯s office in the morning. He had worked at Da Lan Corporation for five years and received stock options since the third year. After leaving the company, the option company would take it back. He was given a total of 15,000 yuan, plus termination compensation N+1, and half a month¡¯s salary in August. A total of 73,500 yuan was given to him. Judging from the amount of compensation, he had a good impression of the company that he had worked for five years. This amount was enough for him to buy two more items in the system store. However, he hadn¡¯t been in a good mood recently, so he hadn¡¯t received any random missions. Now, he had a worry: the longer he became a godly tycoon, the more difficult it would be to immerse himself in emotions and joy. That was because the threshold would become higher and higher. F*ck! After all the procedures were completed, it was exactly 11:30 in the morning. Cao Su sent a message to invite his friend Jiang Wenxuan, Shen Mingze, and Tang Run to have a meal at the Vientiane Center. Yu Ping¡¯s public apology to him, as well as his red Ferrari to work, had caused a lot of repercussions. The beautiful intern, Su Qing, came over to chat with him out of curiosity. His classmate, Zheng Shaoning, who hadn¡¯t contacted him for a long time, called him warmly. Jiang Ran, the beautiful junior at the University of Jianghai, was willing to acknowledge him as her senior. Even Old Jiang called him again to ask about the situation. Therefore, before he left, he invited Old Jiang to have a meal and get together. Since he had to attend the dinner that the art design team had arranged for him, he had to postpone the matter of admiring the courtesan. Therefore, he invited Shen Mingze and Tang Run over for dinner as an apology. It was also to end Yu Ping¡¯s matter. The dining location was the Cantonese restaurant on the fourth floor, Fu Man Lou. Cantonese cuisine was rare but exquisite. Usually, many Chinese restaurants in five-star hotels served Cantonese cuisine. The dishes included Salted Chicken, Honey Barbecued Pork, Garlic Pork Ribs, Braised Pigeon, Oysters, Four Brocade Lobsters, Steamed Eastern Star Spots, Two Seasonal Vegetables, and Four Bowls of Abalone, Ginseng, and Wing Tripe. He ordered two bottles of dry white wine. Jiang Wenxuan looked honest and amiable, still looking as fat as ever. He raised his glass and smiled. ¡°Old Cao, I haven¡¯t seen you for a week. You seem to have lost some weight.¡± Cao Su liked hearing this and put down his phone. He was chatting with someone on WeChat. He clinked his glass with Old Jiang and smiled. Shen Mingze was tall, well-proportioned, and even taller than Cao Su. He said jokingly, ¡°Brother Cao, what kind of exercise?¡± Everyone laughed when they heard this. They all understood. Most people knew that Cao Su had taken two top-notch beauties to the hotel from Shen Mingze. Shen Mingze¡¯s original intention was not to spread gossip about Cao Su. But you spent a million dollars in the bar and went back to the hotel alone? This logic didn¡¯t make sense! Cao Su laughed. ¡°No matter what kind of exercise it is, it consumes energy. Come, let¡¯s have a drink! Old Jiang, I¡¯ll be developing Shencheng in the future. Let¡¯s keep in touch when we have time.¡± ¡°Ming Ze, Tang Run, I stood you up this time. I¡¯ll invite you guys to the clubhouse next Saturday night. We¡¯ll sign up more courtesans!¡± Jiang Wenxuan swallowed the white wine and said concisely, ¡°Alright.¡± Last week, he really thought that Old Cao was trying to save face. He didn¡¯t expect Old Cao to have the ability to force Yu Ping to apologize in public. How awesome! In fact, he knew that the words ¡°keep in touch¡± were false. It wasn¡¯t that he and Old Cao were hypocritical. But with Old Cao¡¯s current level, the gap between them would only get bigger and bigger. How many common topics could they have? Let me give you the simplest example. He was still worried about getting married and ending his single life. Was Old Cao still worried about these things? Who knew how many black fungi he had harvested? This was not a matter of personal will. It could only be said that this was life. This friendship should be cherished. After the toast, the handsome Tang Run quickly smiled and said, ¡°Brother Cao, you¡¯re too polite. We are at your beck and call!¡± Some things were really difficult to explain in a few words! This week, Yu Ping had asked him privately. He said that he didn¡¯t reveal the details of their meeting to Brother Cao, but Yu Ping didn¡¯t believe him. Today, Yu Ping lowered herself and apologized to Brother Cao. This matter was finally resolved, and he was relieved. She was very humble in front of Brother Cao. If Brother Cao needed a little brother to play with, he would be happy to follow Brother Cao. Shen Mingze was obviously better at interpersonal relationships than Old Jiang and Tang Run. He put down his glass and smiled. ¡°Brother Cao, speaking of courtesans, I think of the four beauties in our company. You should have seen them before.¡± Cao Su could not help but laugh. He drank a mouthful of soup and said in surprise, ¡°Ming Ze, I¡¯ve been in the Da Lan Corporation for almost five years, but I¡¯ve never heard of such a thing. At most, it was a joke about the golden flowers of a certain department.¡± Shen Mingze smiled. ¡°The courtesans are judged by the customers.¡± The four beauties were naturally rated by our company¡¯s old geezer. In fact, they were just the few beauties that we had chatted about in private and were publicly recognized as the most beautiful. For example, Brother Cao, Lu Zi from your art design team is a little exquisite! Her figure was extremely good, and her skin was fair and smooth. However, his looks were a few notches lower than the four.¡± There were some things that he couldn¡¯t say in front of Brother Cao. Who knew what relationship Brother Cao had with Lu Zi, right? Based on his experience, Lu Zi, who had a hot body and smooth skin, would definitely have a first-class riding experience. Shen Mingze took a sip of wine and continued to smile. ¡°The rankings don¡¯t matter.¡± Of the more than a hundred intern students in our company, Su Qing, the beauty of the product experience department, is the most beautiful. With her looks, she became famous in the entire department in less than half a month! The disadvantage was that she was tall and slightly skinny. Li Ruoyu, the beauty of the patent department, was a charming young woman. Many people in the company had a crush on her. She heard that Vice President Qi was pursuing her. The disadvantage was that she was married.¡± As he spoke, he stood up and poured wine for everyone. ¡°Ren Jiayu, the librarian of the library in the park, is considered a factory flower. She is tall and demure and has a pair of sexy long legs that men would never forget. She was neither thin nor fat, and she was both fleshy and bony. The disadvantage is that she is 17 years old this year and is not highly educated.¡± Jiang Ran, the beauty of the President¡¯s office, was a Sichuan girl. She was bright and beautiful. She had a lot of contacts in her position and was very well-known in the company. The disadvantage was that she was too difficult to woo. So far, no one had been able to ask her out for a meal alone. It had to be said that Shen Mingze and Tang Run were frequent socialites. He was quite familiar with the situation of the beauties in the company. Cao Su took out his phone and replied with a smile, ¡°Really?¡± Tang Run revealed his past and smiled bitterly. ¡°Brother Cao, I don¡¯t look cold.¡± He had some money at home. ¡°I chased after Jiang Ran for two months last year, but I didn¡¯t even manage to touch her little hand. Sigh!¡± His expression was melancholic. Although he had asked her out, he knew very well that those girls were suitable to be his girlfriends. Goddess Jiang¡¯s attitude towards him made him very sad. Cao Su smiled, put down his phone, and sipped white wine. The fragrance of the wine was rich, and the aftertaste was long. At this moment, he was chatting with Jiang Ran on WeChat. They chatted for almost an hour, getting along well. She didn¡¯t reject people like Tang Run had described. ¡°Junior Sister Jiang, did you join the CEO¡¯s office of the Da Lan Corporation after graduation?¡± Cao Su asked at first.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. At that time, it was Sister Zhang who personally went to the University of Jianghai to recruit. Brother Cao, what about you? You¡¯ve been working in the Da Lan Corporation for eight years?¡± ¡°How can there be eight years?¡± My first job was as a programmer. Later, I switched to mobile OS and specialized in drawing.¡± ¡°Then you must be damn skillful!¡± At the end of the conversation, Cao Su invited, ¡°Little Ran, do you have time to go hiking by the beach the day after tomorrow?¡± He could also complete the system¡¯s main mission: 10 kilometers on foot. ¡°Brother Cao, let me see my schedule.¡± Twenty minutes later, she replied, ¡°Brother Cao, is it tiring to go up? When it¡¯s time, you should help me.¡± When Shen Mingze saw Cao Su smile slightly and not reply, he knew that there was a story behind this smile. He more or less understood. Brother Cao went to resign today, so he must have met Beauty Jiang. They might even add each other on WeChat. Men were defined by wealth and women by their beauty. Put yourself in her shoes. If you were handsome and had a pretty and rich senior, would you consider adding her on WeChat? Four beauties, do you know why he didn¡¯t mention Ren Jiayu and Jiang Ran? Because he knew that Jiang Ran was Brother Cao¡¯s schoolmate and junior sister. Ren Jiayu was a beauty from Qianzhou, Gan Province, and was Brother Cao¡¯s hometown. When the group of geezers commented on the beauty together, they might not use civilized words, but they would say whatever was exciting. Brother Cao might not like to hear others comment on them. So he kept quiet. Shen Mingze smiled and raised his glass to Cao Su. He then changed the topic. ¡°Brother Cao, what do you think of the Pearl River Delta¡¯s property market?¡± Cao Su, Jiang Yingying, and Chen Fu had been looking at houses, buying houses, and communicating with real estate agents this week. He had made a field trip and smiled. ¡°Although there are control measures, the industry is booming and is optimistic in the long run.¡± ¡°Brother Cao, a childhood friend of mine, invited me to resign and start a business. He¡¯s planning to become a real estate agent to help real estate developers sell their properties,¡± Shen Mingze said. He had some connections in Guangdong Province, so he could be in charge of mediating. ¡°I¡¯m responsible for managing all aspects of relationships.¡± At the moment, our funds are still a little low. Are you interested in this project?¡± Cao Su was a little surprised. Shen Mingze was very good at seizing opportunities. He pondered briefly and said, ¡°The three of us will meet for morning tea next week.¡± The direction of his company was live broadcasting. He was familiar with this area. However, at present, the real estate industry was hot. He didn¡¯t mind taking the next step and investing some money.

Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The red Ferrari shuttled through the bustling streets of Shencheng. The afternoon was quiet and serene. While driving, Cao Su chatted on his Bluetooth headset with his college roommate, Guo Zefang. ¡°Old Cao, not bad! He¡¯s already bought himself a Ferrari,¡± Guo Zefang said emotionally. ¡°Old Guo, how did you know?¡± Cao Su smiled in surprise. Three university roommates. He and Guo Zefang were both in Shencheng. Wu Dapao was working in Shanghai and was said to be starting a business. Brother Hai was a civil servant in his hometown. He and Guo Zefang didn¡¯t usually have much contact. They each had their own lives! Especially since Guo Zefang was already married and had his own family. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t know.¡± Guo Zefang laughed. Don¡¯t just pick up girls on WeChat! Dou Tianshuo from Class 2 sent a photo of you getting out of the car in the software engineering group.¡± Cao Su smiled at his good friend.¡± Thank you, Old Guo.¡± ¡°What are you thanking me for? Zheng Shaoning called me at noon. I probably can¡¯t go to the gathering tomorrow afternoon and dinner at night. My daughter and her friends from kindergarten have agreed to go to the amusement park to play for the whole day tomorrow. Please forgive me!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal?¡± Cao Su laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll still be developing in Shencheng in the future. We brothers will have a chance to meet again.¡± After hanging up the phone, Cao Su drove his sports car away from the main road. He stopped at the side of a small street and flipped through the WeChat group of the level 01 software engineering major. As expected, the group chat was talking about his Ferrari. Usually, there were only seven or eight active members in the group of more than 200, such as Brother Wei, Brother Tiger, and Brother Lei. Dozens of people would be blown up by his red Ferrari. Someone was still tagging him. However, he didn¡¯t check his phone message on the way back to the Kempinski Hotel. Dou Tianshuo, the Great Rat, told him about his work at Da Lan Company in the group chat. He might not have any bad intentions, and he just wanted a topic of conversation. But this made Cao Su feel a little uncomfortable. You didn¡¯t even ask for my opinion before you went around talking about it? There were still very few people like Zheng Shaoning, who had good eyes! At this moment, someone in the group tagged Brother Tiger. ¡°Brother Tiger, don¡¯t you know a lot about cars? Come, let¡¯s analyze Cao Su¡¯s Ferrari: Model, configuration, advantages, and disadvantages.¡± Brother Tiger (Qiao Tian): (Aggrieved emoji) Brother Cao didn¡¯t let me say it!¡± Brother Tiger¡¯s words contained a lot of information, and the group immediately became lively again. Cao Su also smiled at Brother Tiger¡¯s words. Brother Tiger was indeed a rare talent! Cao Su exited the WeChat group and browsed through the accumulated messages in WeChat. Su Qing had sent him a message in the morning: ¡°Brother Cao, someone saw your car leave the company. I wish you all the best.¡± This beauty is so thoughtful! It was really nice. Compared to the arrogant beauty and saleswoman Chen Wu, he had a better impression of the beautiful Su Qing. As for Jiang Yingying, who wanted to treat him to meat buns, he could treat her to a carton of milk at any time. Temporarily queuing up. Since Daddy System didn¡¯t give him a reply buff, he had to take it easy. He had to recuperate and recover his health before regrouping and continuing to fight on the battlefield. After thinking about it, Cao Su did not reply to Su Qing. Instead, he sent a message to Shen Mingze and continued to browse through the messages. There was also a message from Bian Lan, a young beauty from the same hometown as Qian Zhou. ¡°Brother Cao, you really quit? Have a safe trip.¡± Cao Su couldn¡¯t help but think of what a certain celebrity had said: ¡°Ever since I¡¯ve been successful, the entire world has been very friendly to me!¡± A single man of his age would naturally consider finding a girlfriend in his hometown. Therefore, he had attended the gathering of fellow townsfolk in Qianzhou once or twice. There were so many beauties in Qianzhou! But they were all eggs. In society, no matter what circle it was, the core competitive factor for men was one thing: Money! Therefore, he was another loser. Those young girls who had come out to work before they even went to college also looked down on him. He didn¡¯t expect a fellow villager to send him a WeChat message when he left his job. The little beauty was quite intelligent. He believed that all the girls in Qianzhou knew about his resignation, but in the end, only Bian Lan sent him a WeChat message. ¡°Xiaolan, thank you. I¡¯m fully booked this weekend. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner next Wednesday and invite your friends.¡± All the departments of the Da Lan Corporation generally did not work overtime on Wednesday. Some soccer, basketball, and volleyball matches were also scheduled for Wednesday. ¡°Brother Cao, we¡¯re not close enough to call each other by nicknames, are we? Hehe, then I¡¯m really going to be a big deal! I¡¯m waiting for your feast.¡± Cao Su laughed. In the eyes of a mature man like him, a sixteen-year-old girl¡¯s thoughts could be seen at a glance. She didn¡¯t necessarily want to recommend herself as a pillow. She just wanted to maintain close contact with him, a rich man from her hometown. This kind of relationship itself was a kind of capital, wasn¡¯t it? He was very respected among his friends. Cao Su started his sports car and returned to the hotel. There were less than ten minutes left. He replied, ¡°Send me your account number.¡± Bian Lan was speechless. Brother Cao was too direct. The two of them had only met once. Was he prepared to throw money at her? It made her very uncomfortable! Twenty minutes later, Bian Lan sent her AliPay account number over. At this moment, Cao Su had already arrived at the presidential suite of the Kempinski Hotel. He swiped his key card to open the door and directly transferred 10,000 yuan to her through AliPay. ¡°Take it and get yourself some Coke.¡± ¡°Xiaolan, you know Ren Jiayu, right?¡± Cao Su didn¡¯t want to do anything to Ren Jiayu. He just wanted to recognize all four beauties in the company after he left. Shen Mingze and Tang Run spoke in a matter-of-fact manner. Last week, he saw Li Ruoyu, a young and gentle woman, last week at a Western restaurant with Jiang Wenxuan. Bian Lan was speechless. It turned out that all the psychological preparation she had done for a long time was completely useless. There was a difference between her looks and Ren Jiayu¡¯s figure. Cao Su teased her, ¡°Xiaolan, did you get the wrong idea just now?¡± [(Crazy emoji) x3.] Cao Su laughed out loud. Throwing money at a young lady who took the initiative to wish him well would make his humanity seem too dark. How fun would it be to tease her? She didn¡¯t even realize that she was being teased by him. Was Coke something that could be casually drunk? What did it mean to have a bottle of Coke on the roof? Of course, he couldn¡¯t drink milk casually. While playing with the little girl, Cao Su sat comfortably in front of his desk and turned on his computer to download the candidate assistant information that headhunter Chang Ya had sent him. He was used to reading information on the computer. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. After getting his approval, the slightly plump and elegant Xia Ya walked in gracefully in a suit. ¡°President Cao, you¡¯re in such a good mood!¡± ¡°Xiao Xia, you¡¯re here! Get me a glass of red wine and some coke.¡± Cao Su comfortably leaned back in his chair as he turned around and instructed. Xia Ya chuckled and went to the bar counter in the living room to get some wine. She joked, ¡°President Cao, drinking red wine and Coke, what kind of method is this?¡± If he attended the banquet outside, he would be laughed at. ¡°I have no choice. I haven¡¯t learned how to taste red wine yet. I might as well stop pretending.¡± Cao Su turned his chair around and admired her voluptuous and graceful figure. In fact, from his aesthetic point of view, Xia Ya would look better if she was thinner. Xia Ya smiled at him and bent down to open the mini-fridge. She helped him choose the red wine seriously. The plump woman¡¯s back was as round as a peach. F*ck, this is really fatal. It made him want to go from a photographer to an architect. Xia Ya chose the red wine and turned around. Seeing that Cao Su was looking at her with a burning gaze, she couldn¡¯t help but blush. She reminded him coquettishly, ¡°President Cao!¡± He handed Cao Su the red wine mixed with coke and took two steps back. She was a 33-year-old woman, a mature woman. Cao Su drank red wine to reduce the heat and gently asked, ¡°Little Ya, if I touch them, will you call the police?¡± Xia Ya rolled her eyes at Cao Su and said pleasantly, ¡°What do you think? President Cao, you¡¯re getting angry. I¡¯ll call Yuexi in.¡± Cao Su smiled embarrassedly. The car flipped. The difficulty of a beautiful woman and a little girl was different! ¡°Forget it. I still need to look at my resume.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The setting sun danced on the horizon, and the sky was dyed in golden-red light. Zhan Baiyu was sweating profusely as he waited outside the west gate of Da Lan Corporation¡¯s electronics industrial park. After a while, he saw his colleagues coming in twos and threes. The gentle and beautiful Lu Zi wore a square-collared green dress, her curves towering and straight. Under the setting sun, her skin was even fairer, her figure was full and graceful, and she was a gorgeous lass. She followed her colleagues. Supervisor Mei Qian called Zhan Baiyu to the side to ask about the situation. ¡°Brother Mei has arranged everything. Let¡¯s go to the Sichuan Cuisine Bar for dinner first. I¡¯ve booked a large private room for a total of three tables. After dinner, we¡¯ll go to V Show to sing.¡± Mei Qian was 30 years old and of average build. He habitually adjusted his glasses and said in satisfaction, ¡°Bai Yu, well done. Minister Yu was going too. You should toast Minister Yu a few more times at the table.¡± Zhan Baiyu was twenty-five years old this year and said gratefully, ¡°Brother Mei, thank you.¡± Mei Qian patted him on the shoulder. ¡°You and Old Cao should drink a few more glasses later. Try to talk things out. You saw Yu Ping¡¯s attitude today. She bowed and asked for his forgiveness.¡± Zhan Baiyu was very happy. His relationship with Cao Su was rigid. But he didn¡¯t show it. ¡°Okay, Brother Mei.¡± He was different from Yu Ping. What could Cao Su have against him? Mei Qian nodded with a smile and greeted, ¡°Everyone, go with Zhan Baiyu first. I¡¯ll wait for the rest of my colleagues here.¡± More than a dozen colleagues from the art design team went to the bridge to eat at the Sichuan restaurant opposite the spacious eight-lane road. The Sichuan Cuisine Bar was located at a street corner opposite the west gate of the Da Lan Corporation¡¯s Shencheng Industrial Park. It was a three-story building built in a distinct Sichuan style. There was a peasant village nearby. Just after six in the evening, Cao Su arrived in his sky-blue Bentley. Driving a supercar was indeed a test of one¡¯s wits. He was very familiar with this area. He had been living in the village for nearly four years. He had only checked out of the house on his hands on Tuesday afternoon. Generally, after a farmer¡¯s house would have to last a long lifespan, they would not sign a new rental contract. If they didn¡¯t want to stay, they had to inform the landlord, and the deposit would be returned. However, he would deduct a few hundred yuan from the cleaning fee. As for the specifics, it would depend on the landlord¡¯s agreement in the contract. Cao Su had been in Shencheng for so many years. He had met all sorts of characters. Cao Su got off the car with his handbag and walked into the Sichuan Cuisine Bar. He was brought to a big private room on the third floor by the waiter. More than twenty colleagues from the art design team were present. A few familiar colleagues greeted him one after another. ¡°Brother Cao.¡± Mei Qian stood up and greeted him warmly. ¡°Old Cao, sit here.¡± Cao Su smiled and responded to them one by one. He walked to the main table and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. There was a traffic jam on the way, and I was caught in it.¡± He then shook hands with the head of the product department, Yu Xiaoping, who stood up to welcome him. ¡°Hello, Director Yu!¡± Yu Xiaoping was nearly forty years old this year. He was a thin man with a hooked nose and was usually a very serious person. At this moment, Cao Su, who was smiling, shook his hand. ¡°President Cao, I¡¯m an uninvited guest today! ¡°However, there¡¯s an amazing person in our product department. I really want to get to know him. You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite, Minister Yu!¡± Cao Su smiled politely. His ¡®excuse¡¯ in the Da Lan Corporation: Invest in stocks and make a fortune. ¡°Director Yu, Old Cao is also an employee of the product department. It¡¯s reasonable for you to attend his resignation banquet.¡± Yu Xiao Ping laughed and called for everyone to take their seats. Lu Zi, Zhan Baiyu, and the others were all at this table. Zhan Baiyu ran to the private room to rush the dishes. Delicate dishes were soon served. The beverages were Yanjing beer and Wuliang liquor. After drinking a cup together, they started chatting casually. Yu Xiao Ping sat beside Cao Su and asked curiously, ¡°President Cao, with your trading skills, do you plan to develop a financial enterprise in the future?¡± ¡°Minister Yu, I was lucky to have made a profit,¡± Cao Su said. ¡°How would they dare to develop in the financial industry? The film and television industry is quite popular now, so I plan to take a look.¡± He couldn¡¯t possibly reveal his true business intentions to a former boss. He wouldn¡¯t tell him about the live broadcast. As for the real estate, he had not talked to Shen Mingze¡¯s friend yet, so it was hard to say. He casually mentioned the most popular industry recently. Last year¡¯s ¡°The Legend of Zhen Huan¡± was a hit, and all the major video websites frantically bought broadcasting rights. LeTV snatched up the online copyrights for the production. Internet capital had invaded the film and television industry, which was doing very well! ¡°The film industry is deep! I went to Shanghai and Beijing for a business trip some time ago. It¡¯s very convenient and cheap to take a taxi now. This industry was also very popular. The capital is paying attention. It was estimated that the number of taxis would explode in the next one or two years.¡± Yu Xiaoping commented, half-jokingly, ¡°President Cao, there¡¯s no such thing as luck in playing with stocks. Can you recommend some stocks to us?¡± ¡°Old Cao, luck is also a form of strength,¡± Mei Qian said. ¡°Like me, I¡¯ve lost so much money in the stock market.¡± Cao Su laughed. It seemed like he had to reveal something. He dared to say that he had earned money from stock trading because he had done some research on A-shares. ¡°Moutai,¡± he said. ¡°President Cao, are you free next Saturday night?¡± Yu Xiaoping asked with a smile. ¡°Let me introduce you to a few friends. They are all employees of our Da Lan Group. In society, having more friends means more paths.¡± President Cao is very kind! The weaker the stock, the higher the confidence. On the contrary, those who held reports and recommended stocks were basically scum. Mei Qian was extremely envious. He had long heard that the middle-level ministers of the group often played cards together, exchanged what they needed, and took care of each other. The higher level was, of course, to play cards with the bosses. ¡°Alright!¡± Cao Su nodded. Watching Cao Su and his superior, the head of the product department, Yu Xiaoping, talking and laughing, Zhan Baiyu felt very depressed and went to the bathroom outside to smoke. An employee who worked for him accompanied him and advised him softly, ¡°Brother Zhan, Old Cao is no longer the same as he was. Brother Mei is right. You still have to drink a few more glasses of wine to him and try to talk things out.¡± Zhan Baiyu sighed and put out the cigarette in his hand. ¡°I understand.¡± Zhan Baiyu, who had made up his mind, brought his underling back to the private room. When he entered, he saw the girl he liked, Lu Zi, toasting Cao Su. Her fair and beautiful face had a bright and sweet smile, showing off her beauty.¡± ¡°Brother Cao, thank you for helping me all this time. I¡¯ll remember it all. Here¡¯s a glass of wine. I wish you all the best after you leave your job and a successful business!¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Cao Su downed the white wine in his glass and encouraged, ¡°Lu Zi, you can do it!¡± Lu Zi also downed the white wine in her glass and even revealed the bottom. The other people at the table cheered loudly. Watching the two of them interact, Zhan Baiyu felt extremely uncomfortable. He felt as if he had been cuckolded. Lu Zi had never smiled at him like this before. He sat at the table and waited for a few colleagues to toast him. Then, he stood up and said as politely as possible, ¡°Brother Cao, let me make a toast to you!¡± Cao Su waved his hand. ¡°Wait a moment. I need to take a break.¡± Zhan Baiyu¡¯s face turned red.

Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The lively atmosphere in the private room suddenly froze. Voices involuntarily became softer as they looked over. The colleagues in the art design team basically knew about Cao Su and Zhan Baiyu¡¯s feud. There were no significant issues among them, but that didn¡¯t mean small conflicts didn¡¯t arise. Who was born to like working overtime? Da Lan Corporation¡¯s year-end bonus wasn¡¯t based on overtime hours! It was Cao Su who¡¯d taken on many dirty and tiring jobs in the group. Easy or relaxing tasks certainly never found their way to him. That kind of distribution was unfair! Mei Qian¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he pulled down his glasses. Why did he ask Little Zhan to take the initiative to ease the relationship with Cao Su? Of course, he wanted to test Cao Su¡¯s reaction. Little Zhan was able to gain power and suppress Cao Su because of his management methods! Seeing this, Yu Xiao Ping tried to mediate the situation. With a straight face, he criticized Zhan Baiyu. ¡°Little Zhan, how can you toast the seniors in the group like this? If you have something to say, say it. Apologize, and give blessings. One more time!¡± Zhan Baiyu was very aggrieved, but what could he do if the minister had said so? He more or less understood the feeling he had when he came to Brother Mei to suppress Cao Su over the past few years. He took a deep breath and raised his glass again. ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯ve offended you many times at work these past two years. Before you leave, I would like to apologize to you. I¡¯m sorry! Please forgive me, Brother Cao. I¡¯ll drink first as a toast!¡± After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in it. Cao Su sat at the round dining table covered with a floral tablecloth and watched coldly as Zhan Baiyu was forced to ¡°apologize.¡± The gloominess in the art design team of Da Lan Corporation melted quite a bit. Feeling pleased, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He wouldn¡¯t drink to his heart¡¯s content at this moment and let everyone be happy with a smile. That wasn¡¯t magnanimity. That was foolishness! Not to mention the past few years between Zhan and him, could a glass of wine and a verbal apology be enough? And for the sake of asking, was there no one behind him? The human heart was unpredictable, and knowledge had to be used flexibly. The way of life was to master the art of adapting to change! [The host is in a good mood, random mission triggered.] [Mission: Liver King] [Turn on the lights and read for 2 hours in the middle of the night.] [Reward: Energy Serum x20] As Zhan Baiyu was forced to apologize, the atmosphere in the private room gradually became lively again. They continued to toast. At around 8:30 p.m., everyone was almost done eating and drinking. Supervisor Mei Qian arranged for everyone to go to the ¡°V Show¡± in the Wanxiang Center outside the east gate to sing. This luxurious KTV had only been renovated and opened for less than half a year, and tonight¡¯s three-hour singing package cost 3888 yuan. Mei Qian had put in some effort to ¡°accompany¡± Cao Su tonight. Yu Xiaoping, the head of the product department, didn¡¯t follow them. After exchanging contact information with Cao Su, he took a taxi and left. Five or six of the 20-odd colleagues in the group did not go. The group of seventeen immediately walked to their destination. The ¡°V Show¡± on the fourth floor had a nice environment and luxurious decorations. There were two washrooms in the private room. A waiter was in charge of pouring water and cleaning the wine bottles. The service there was timely. Cao Su¡¯s singing was average. He had never practiced before but was not tone-deaf like the main characters in web novels. He sang songs and drank wine with everyone. There wasn¡¯t a scene where he had to show off and slap his face. Of course, there was still a story. Half an hour later, Cao Su sang his second song and sat down to chat with Lu Zi, the full-bodied beauty. With the loud KTV environment, one had to be close to another¡¯s ear to be able to chat. Seeing that Lu Zi¡¯s fair and beautiful face was slightly red from the alcohol, Cao Su so he asked her, ¡°Lu Zi, are you alright?¡± The fragrance on her body wafted into his nose. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that the glass of white wine I gave you when I toasted you was a little too much. Brother Cao, what about you? I saw that you drank quite a lot.¡± ¡°I can hold my liquor.¡± There was no problem with beer, but there was half a catty of white wine. As they were talking, a couple in the group who had finished singing a love song came back and sat down. Cao Su moved over and sat closer to the soft and fair Lu Zi. She wore a short-sleeved dress, and her meaty and fair arms touched Cao Su. It felt great. Warm fragrance, soft jade in a dark room. Lu Zi¡¯s pretty face was slightly red. She quietly moved her arm away, and the two of them continued to chat. A moment later, it was Lu Zi¡¯s song. She stood up and walked to the middle of the room. Holding the microphone, she sang Legend of the Phoenix¡¯s cover of Moonlight over the Lotus Pond. ¡°Cut out time that flows slowly into the moonlight and ripples slightly; play a song of the faint fragrance of the lotus, and the beautiful sound of the zither will fall beside me¡­¡± This song was very popular. And she sang very well! After a short song, all the boys in the room cheered. The beauty in the group sang well, so of course, they had to support her! Under the dim light, Lu Zi, who was 1.66 meters tall, wore a green short-sleeved dress. Her slightly well-built figure was salacious. Her jet-black hair fell on her shoulders, and her fair and delicate skin was accentuated. Her towering curves were tall and graceful, and her slender waist was like a willow. She even playfully followed the rhythm of the music and gently swayed left and right. Very nice. Cao Su felt that his battle intent that had been aroused by the plump beauty Xia Ya in the afternoon had risen again. These few days, he had been cultivating his body and did not touch the spa¡¯s technician, Yue Xi. Even though that beauty¡¯s looks and skills were top-notch, her specialty score was too low. The forest path you thought was clear was actually crowded with traffic. ¡°Oh.¡± After Lu Zi finished the song, the boys in the room cheered for her! The little brother at the karaoke station clicked on the perfect timing to get a perfect score on the screen. The lights in the room spun. The atmosphere was ecstatic. Lu Zi smiled sweetly and thanked him. ¡°Thank you! Thank you, everyone.¡± She passed the microphone to Zhan Baiyu, who would sing next, and sat beside Cao Su. Cao Su didn¡¯t continue to lean on her fair and soft arm, but instead, he invited her by her ear, ¡°Little Zi, let¡¯s go out for some fresh air.¡± The night view of Shencheng was beautiful and luxurious. The bustling areas were lit up, creating a dream-like utopian city that never slept. Cao Su enjoyed the beautiful night scenery on the street outside the Wanxiang Shopping Center. He smoked a cigarette and waited for a beautiful woman to come out with a bag. Lu Zi¡¯s figure was extremely hot, but her facial features were gentle and delicate. Her pair of big eyes seemed to be able to speak. This made her temperament a little gentle and elegant, and there was a sense of juxtaposition. A fragrance wafted along with the breeze, and a young and beautiful girl was there. Lu Zi was a little embarrassed and a little curious. She accompanied Cao Su for a walk on the street. ¡°Brother Cao, the team set up that farewell party for you. Did you just slip away?¡± Cao Su extinguished the cigarette and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll come back later to deal with Xiao Mei. Without a beauty like you, I would have definitely pushed this round back after dinner. Little Zi, you sang very well just now.¡± ¡°Pffft!¡± Lu Zi chuckled, her bright eyes filled with joy. She more or less understood Cao Su¡¯s feelings for her. ¡°Thank you. Brother Cao, did you really take two beautiful girls to get a room at the bar last Friday?¡± She sure had her own way of rejecting suitors.

Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Cao Su tilted his head and looked at the beautiful and fair girl beside him, who admitted it frankly. He smiled and said, ¡°Looks like I need to give you a reason. Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?¡± Lu Zi couldn¡¯t help but smile. She walked briskly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s hear it.¡± It was past nine at night in Shencheng City. There were few pedestrians on the street outside the east gate of the industrial park of the Da Lan Corporation. The weather was hot and humid. Cao Su brought Lu Zi and slowly turned towards the main road opposite the main entrance. He smiled and said, ¡°A lie would be talking about philosophy and human nature with you. In the end, you would come to the conclusion that I was just indulging myself for a while, and we¡¯d both go on our own way. Should this be forgiven or accepted by you?¡± Lu Zi had a faint smile on her face. She was carrying a pink lady¡¯s bag. She looked at Cao Su with her big eyes and asked, ¡°What about the truth?¡± Cao Su smiled as he looked at the bright moon in the sky. He slowly said, ¡°Everyone takes what they need!¡± Lu Zi was silent momentarily and could not help but complain, ¡°A man is rich, and a woman is beautiful.¡± Brother Cao had spent millions in the bar. He was after her beauty, and she was after his wealth. He enjoyed the vanity of being envied! ¡°Little Zi, that¡¯s just the initial attraction factor,¡± Cao Su smiled and said. ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way. During the date, if both the man and woman are in a good mood, it is natural for them to exercise later on. The key is after the deed is done. ¡°For those with families and emotional ties, that¡¯ll be hard to say. It is immoral! As for a man like me who has no restraints, what kind of person would you think I am after you find out? Therefore, I have to avoid acquaintances for such private matters.¡± Lu Zi¡¯s small face was slightly hot, and she said in amusement, ¡°Brother Cao, just because you¡¯re avoiding acquaintances, does that mean nothing happened? Isn¡¯t this self-deception?¡± Cao Su smiled again and said frankly, ¡°It¡¯s hard for us mortals of the greater world to be sincere! Therefore, this is a question of choosing one. Some people would choose to enjoy themselves while they could, leaving no regrets. Some people choose to pause and leave. ¡°Little Zi, do you live in that building in Big Yellow Village?¡± As they spoke, the two of them turned from the main entrance to the street outside the west gate. Generally speaking, new students would stay in Big Yellow Village. The rent was cheap, and it was close to the company. ¡°Brother Cao, there¡¯s no need.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you downstairs,¡± Cao Su said. Don¡¯t refuse. ¡°It¡¯s late at night, and you¡¯re a girl who drank. I brought you out, so I definitely have to be responsible for you.¡± Lu Zi¡¯s heart felt warm. ¡°Block 78. Brother Cao, your words are ambiguous. I don¡¯t want you to take responsibility!¡± She rejected him again. Actually, chatting with Brother Cao was very relaxing and comfortable. Wealth did not make people arrogant and arrogant. However, judging from his values, he did not seem like a man who would be loyal to love. ¡°Is there such a good thing?¡± Cao Su said deliberately. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Of course, Lu Zi understood what he meant: ¡®I don¡¯t have to take responsibility after having sex with her.¡¯ Being teased, she couldn¡¯t help but slap Cao Su¡¯s arm. Cao Su smiled gently. ¡°Alright, Little Zi, don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll give you a gift as an apology.¡± As he spoke, he took out his car keys from his handbag and pressed them. The Bentley parked by the roadside flashed its lights. He lifted the trunk. ¡°Ah!¡± Lu Zi covered her mouth in surprise. She didn¡¯t know much about luxury cars. However, judging from the car¡¯s design, it must be very expensive. So Brother Cao bought two luxury cars? Then his net worth might far exceed the private discussions between her and her colleagues! Cao Su took out the gift box from the trunk. It was a Vacheron Constantin watch. Seeing her surprise, he smiled and said, ¡°Little Zi, why are you so surprised? You don¡¯t think I earned a Ferrari just by speculating in the stock market, do you?¡± He took out the pink and gold women¡¯s watch from the exquisite box and held her fair and soft hand, gently putting it on her. It was a watch worth 150,000 yuan. Lu Zi held his handbag with one hand and hurriedly refused, ¡°Brother Cao, I can¡¯t take this!¡± Her apology just now was just a joke. Under the bright street lights, the diamonds on the dial glistened. The alligator leather strap softly hugged the tender skin on her wrist. Even though she didn¡¯t know much about watches, she knew that this one was very expensive. Cao Su gently said, ¡°Take it, Little Zi. You know I liked you. Now that I¡¯ve resigned, I¡¯m giving you a small token of my gratitude.¡± Lu Zi¡¯s eyelids lifted slightly, her large clear eyes looking at Cao Su. She had been working in the art design team for about a month. During this period, Brother Cao taught her the trick of the trade. Of course, she somewhat knew that he had a good impression of her. In fact, with her looks and figure, after she broke up with her boyfriend in her fourth year of university, there were already many people pursuing her. It was just that graduation was approaching, and she had no intention of dating again. If the ordinary Brother Cao had given her this watch, she would not have accepted it. But now, she had to admit that Brother Cao had messed up her heart. Not only was Brother Cao extremely rich, but his belly had also disappeared. He was tall and well-proportioned. Her appearance had also become delicate and pretty. Cao Su was telling the truth. When a thirty-year-old single man saw a beautiful woman and interacted with her, he would naturally have a faint admiration for her. However, he knew that confessing was useless, so he did not say anything. Now, it was naturally different. He would attend the art design team¡¯s dinner tonight, but this watch had already prepared as a gift in the afternoon. Cao Su gently looked at the hot body, fair skin, and fragrant beauty under the moonlight. He did not restrain the flames and fantasies in his heart. He hugged her slender waist and gently kissed her soft and sweet little mouth. Lu Zi was a little stunned. Her eyes flew wide open. She did not expect Brother Cao to take the initiative to attack. The fragrant beauty moaned a few times and slowly became as limp as a delicate flower. After a while, Lu Zi looked at Cao Su with his big eyes and asked faintly, ¡°Brother Cao, is it time for me to make the choice you mentioned?¡± Cao Su was extremely pleased and comfortable at this moment. He bent over and looked at her. ¡°Little Zi.¡± Lu Zi said: ¡°I¡¯m not happy.¡± Lu Zi could not help but coquettishly stomp on Cao Su¡¯s foot. Her face was flushed red as she said shyly, ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯m biting you!¡± Cao Su chuckled. The moonlight shone on the two people beside the car like water. There was a woman in love, lured by an auspicious man. . . Lu Zi lived in Room 402, Block 78, Rhubarb Village. It was late at night, and the lights were bright in the room, but the thick curtains were drawn, forming a private and quiet space. Lu Zi nestled in Cao Su¡¯s embrace. Her fair and beautiful face was moist and charming as she said softly, Brother Cao, your phone is ringing.¡± Cao Su gently stroked her silky hair and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care. Little Zi, do you know how charming you are?¡± Lu Zi¡¯s pretty face was pink, and her bright eyes were seductive as she offered a kiss. Then, she flipped over and took her phone over to take a look. Her phone rang a few times. She had also accumulated quite a few messages on WeChat. Cao Su hugged the fragrant beauty and watched her flip through the messages on her phone. It was all her pursuers who cared about her. After all, she had left for more than an hour in the middle of the night alone, and many people were happy to care about her. While you guys cheered for the goddess, the goddess was cheering for me. Zhan Baiyu made two phone calls and sent more than ten WeChat messages. ¡°Lu Zi, are you alright? Why aren¡¯t you singing?¡± ¡°Did you go back? Why didn¡¯t you pick up my call? I don¡¯t mean anything else. I¡¯m just concerned. I¡¯m the one who organized this dinner today. I¡¯ll definitely send you all back safely.¡± ¡°Xiao Lu, I¡¯m sorry! I couldn¡¯t help but call you again. If it¡¯s convenient, please tell me your location.¡± ¡°Little Lu, you¡¯re not with Cao Su, are you?¡± ¡°Sorry, I should¡¯ve trusted you. My mind is a little messed up right now, so I won¡¯t send you a message for now. Call me when you have time. As late as you want.¡± Cao Su laughed in his heart. This kid was Little Zi¡¯s simp! [The host is extremely happy. A random mission has been triggered.] [Mission: Thoughts of Reading] [You are required to share your thoughts on a classic book and gain the approval of others. [Reward: One Age Reduction Fruit.] Cao Su was overjoyed. This Zhan Baiyu kid enabled him to trigger two random missions tonight. I didn¡¯t know he was a Hand of Midas!

Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In room 2022 of the luxurious KTV ¡°V Show,¡± Mei Qian looked at himself in the mirror in front of the sink in the bathroom. He took off his glasses and rubbed his face. Bzzzt Bzzzt. His phone vibrated. He quickly took it out to read the message and was a little disappointed. It wasn¡¯t Cao Su who replied to him. Instead, it was a unified reply from the beauty in the group, Lu Zi: ¡°Thank you for your concern. I was not feeling well, so I went back to the dormitory. I wish everyone a good time tonight!¡± Mei Qian shook his head. He had arranged the ¡°dinner party¡± tonight mainly because he saw Yu Ping apologizing to Cao Su, so he wanted to ease his relationship with Cao Su. And through Zhan Baiyu¡¯s probing, he discovered that Cao Su really did have resentment in his heart! He had no choice but to pull himself together and prepare to take advantage of Cao Su¡¯s tipsy state to chat with him after the karaoke session ended. It would be best if he could resolve it. However, he did not expect that after singing for half an hour, he realized that Cao Su had gone outside and had not returned. It was a few minutes to 11. Cao Su had been out for about an hour and a half. He sent Cao Su a WeChat message to ask. He even got another ¡°trusted general,¡± Old Luo, to call Cao Su and send him a WeChat message to urge him. Many people in the group saw Cao Su and Lu Zi leave one after another. Cao Su couldn¡¯t have brought the beauty of the group, Lu Zi, out¡­ or could he? The five or six boys who admired Lu Zi were a little restless. If that were really the case, then he would also be in pain! They were holding a karaoke session for Cao Su, but Cao Su brought the beauty of the group to a hotel¡­ turning around, never to come back again. Then all his plans would be in vain! Lu Zi, this 22-year-old girl, was very beautiful. She was young and delicate, and her figure was extremely good. How many men would not like her? But he wasn¡¯t Yu Ping. He would never mess around in the company. Logically speaking, Lu Zi should not let Cao Su off so easily, right? How much could he earn from speculating in stocks? Their group discussed and estimated Cao Su¡¯s net worth to be around 50 million. In Shencheng, it was just a matter of a villa and a few houses. There was still a long way to go before he succeeded in his career, wasn¡¯t there? Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Cao Su replied to his WeChat: ¡°Xiao Mei, what¡¯s the matter? I¡¯m doing some work at the cafe in the Wanxiang Center. Come over immediately.¡± Cao Su first called the hotel butler Xia Ya to get a designated driver. Then, he returned to V Show¡¯s private room and sang with his colleagues for another half an hour. After singing two songs, he drank some wine and took the time to send a WeChat message to Lu Zi. Cao Su replied, ¡°Little Indigo, it¡¯ll be over soon. I¡¯ll come and find you later.¡± Lu Zi: ¡°(shy expression) Brother Cao, I¡¯m going to bed after taking a shower. Don¡¯t come. I won¡¯t open the door for you even if you do.¡± ¡°Are you that heartless?¡± ¡°My man, if someone sees you staying over at my place, I won¡¯t be able to stay in the Da Lan Corporation anymore!¡± Lu Zi said. ¡°I don¡¯t want to lose my job.¡± Cao Su laughed and stopped teasing her. He comforted the beauty¡¯s heart and told her¡­ He told her to rest early. Mei Qian asked Zhan Baiyu to book a three-hour group purchase coupon, which would arrive at 11:40. The sixteen people from the art design team came out of the private room together and took the elevator to the first floor. They hailed taxis by the roadside and dispersed. Mei Qian handed Cao Su a cigarette and asked him the side to chat. Old Luo, Zhan Baiyu, and Mei Qian¡¯s hardcore fans watched as the two smoked from a distance and complained softly. ¡°D*mn! Old Cao sure is arrogant! Brother Mei treated him sincerely, but he secretly brought Beauty Lu to a hotel for fun. With his tens of millions, he still wants to enter the film industry? I¡¯ll probably lose my pants.¡± ¡°No!¡± Zhan Baiyu¡¯s face was livid. ¡°Lu Zi returned to the dormitory. Cao Su was in the cafe at the city center.¡± He showed the screenshots that Mei Qian had sent him to his colleagues to help Lu Zi clear her name. ¡°People like him become arrogant when they get what they want. Not for long!¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Another person echoed. ¡°Sooner or later, he¡¯ll go bust.¡± Mei Qian exchanged a few pleasantries with Cao Su and said with a smile, ¡°Old Cao, I¡¯ve been repressing you for the past few years. Although I haven¡¯t mistreated you regarding money, I¡¯ve been unfair when assigning tasks. I want to apologize to you. ¡°In the future, if you need me for anything, I will definitely do my best.¡± Cao Su smoked and looked at the brightly lit industrial park of Da Lan Group not far away. The production line inside was producing mobile phones day and night. He smiled and said, ¡°Xiao Mei, you¡¯re avoiding the main point. If everything can be settled with an apology, what are laws for? You know very well what you¡¯ve done in the past few years. Do you think I deserved all that shit? ¡°To be honest, I won¡¯t specifically target you. I don¡¯t have the time! However, I really won¡¯t mind stepping on you to death when it¡¯s time. ¡°So, you¡¯ll have to work real hard in the Da Lan Corporation and pray that I don¡¯t catch you.¡± Cao Su¡¯s tone was casual, but the words he said made Mei Qian¡¯s face sink. ¡°¡­.¡± What manners. How could one guard against thieves for a thousand days? Right now, he was thinking about how to deal with Cao Su. The best way was to wait for this kid to invest in the film and television industry until he went bankrupt. Cao Su turned his head to look at him and sneered, ¡°Xiao Mei, don¡¯t casually offend a 30-year-old man. At my age, I know all the tricks that I should know. You can¡¯t afford revenge! ¡°Do you know what methods I have prepared? Da Lan Corporation¡¯s digital electronic products department worked overtime a lot! How many hats would you have to wear if I were to spend hundreds of thousands on hiring a handsome young gigolo to have a heart-to-heart talk with your wife? ¡°I know the phone in your pocket is recording. Is it any use? Remember to do a DNA test when you have a second child.¡± Mei Qian¡¯s eyes immediately sparkled, but he was discouraged after a few seconds. He gritted his teeth and took out his phone from his pocket. He turned off the recorder and deleted it in front of Cao Su. He bowed 90 degrees and apologized submissively, ¡°President Cao, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Cao Su took a puff of his cigarette and gently blew out the smoke. Looking at Xiao Mei, who had completely lowered her head to him, the corners of his mouth curled up. There was a famous saying from Sima Zhongda: A magnanimous person can become a great person! His understanding was that he had to devote his limited life to his great cause, not the chickens and rats who sought revenge every day! Where would he find time and energy to do proper business then? He had to grasp the primary and secondary contradictions in his life. However, just because he didn¡¯t have the time to deal with Xiao Mei didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t even know how to threaten him! Of course, he wasn¡¯t going to find someone to hook up with Mei Qian¡¯s wife and make him a cuckold. This kind of thing was too hurtful. He¡¯d let this person live in unease. That would be the sweetest revenge! ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Cao Su threw down this sentence and turned around to walk to the side of the street. Old Luo, Zhan Baiyu, and the others looked at Brother Mei, who was not far away, slowly lifting his 90-degree bow. Then, they looked at Cao Su¡¯s face. What happened? Cao Su nodded at these people and reached out to stop a sky-blue Bentley that was slowly approaching. The car stopped by the street. A tall, cold, beautiful, and sexy woman in a short white skirt walked out of the driver¡¯s seat. Her slender legs shone brightly under the dazzling night view of the street. Simply breathtaking! She opened the car door with a smile and said respectfully to Cao Su, ¡°President Cao, please get in the car.¡± Cao Su was a little surprised to see this tall and sexy female driver. It turned out to be the car model that he had helped out at Wanhai Car Dealership that day. He nodded with a smile and walked into the Bentley. Old Luo and Zhan Baiyu stared at this scene with their mouths agape. He watched as the Bentley sped away. Men of their age were different from Lu Zi. They knew a lot about cars. The Bentley Speeder 6.0T was a 2012 limited edition model and carried an official price tag that exceeded five million yuan. With options included, plus various taxes, it would cost a whopping six million yuan. What did they just say? That kid would most likely lose his pants. When you got what you wanted, you¡¯d run wild. But not for long! Sooner or later, he would go bankrupt. F*ck your grandpa! He even had such a beautiful female secretary to be his chauffeur. Was this something an ordinary man could enjoy? Old Luo, Zhan Baiyu, and the other diehard fans of Mei Qian suddenly felt that the world was very peaceful. At this moment, their mentality was corrected and returned to normal.

Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Kempinski Hotel, located on the seaside avenue, was not far from the landmark building, the China Resources Building, nicknamed Spring Bamboo Shoot. On a summer morning, the trees on the seaside avenue were quiet, and the cicadas chirped. A familiar bus passed by. Chang Ya, a partner of Jincheng Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd. (the headhunter), got off the car with her assistant, Xiao Li. She looked up at the towering skyscraper. ¡°Sister Chang, when can our company move our office here?¡± Xiao Li exclaimed. ¡°If word gets out, it¡¯ll be even more prestigious!¡± Chang Ya was a 30-year-old female career elite. She walked into the building in silver high heels. ¡°What are you thinking about? Can dignity be eaten? It would be strange if the bosses agreed! Unless our headhunters are the best in the country.¡± Xiao Li was a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old girl. She quickly followed and sighed, ¡°We are still different from this rich young master!¡± She was talking about Cao Su. Today was the day Cao Su¡¯s new establishment, ¡°The World,¡± would be interviewing assistants. Specifically, he sought a female administrative assistant under 30 with a first-class honors university degree. An annual salary of two million yuan would be offered. How was this hiring an assistant? Which administrative assistant would cost so much to hire? Even listed companies didn¡¯t offer such wages. He was hiring a beautiful secretary and a lover! Yesterday morning, Sister Chang sent eight sets of information about the interviewees to President Cao. First, he had to rank them according to their abilities. However, the president deleted all three resumes, all of which were beautiful women. This further confirmed her thoughts. Chang Ya and Xiao Li were stopped by the security guards as soon as they entered the building. They needed to swipe their cards to enter the elevator in the lobby. Thus, she could only call President Cao and communicate with the building¡¯s property management before she could get a temporary access card to enter and exit. The interview location was on the 32nd floor of the office building of The World. Chang Ya and Xiao Li took the manually keyed elevator to the 32nd floor. After exiting the elevator, they turned left and arrived at a lobby. The front desk was empty. However, from the elegant floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the blue sea of Deep City Bay, a view both breathtaking and invigorating. Xiao Li¡¯s voice became softer. ¡°Sister Chang, you¡¯re so classy!¡± Chang Ya nodded. ¡°This is the top three commercial office buildings in Nanshan Hill.¡± She brought Xiao Li straight into the office area. The spacious office was quiet. The two continued walking forward and arrived outside the CEO¡¯s office. After passing through the secretary¡¯s office outside, she saw an extremely luxurious and spacious office. The office was divided into an office area and a rest area. Three sides were surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass. The sunlight at 9:30 in the morning shone on the outer wall of the Chunsun Building, giving it a glazed luster. The view from the office was breathtaking. Deep City Bay was filled with high-rise buildings, parks, corridors, and winding roads along the coast. Further away was the bay, and amid the blue sky and sea, Hong Kong could be vaguely seen on the other side. At this moment, in the depths of the office, a tall and well-proportioned man in a business casual shirt and trousers was holding a cup of coffee and enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of the French window. Soft music slowly drifted into the air. His profile was delicate and handsome, enough to attract the attention of women. His figure was elongated and faint under the sunlight, as if he was covered in golden light! Life, time, sunshine, wealth. All kinds of words appeared in Xiao Li¡¯s mind, bedazzling her. Then, she felt a little afraid to breathe. Money, sometimes, was just a number that could not shock people. However, if he could materialize money, the impact would be huge! At this moment, how could Xiao Li dare to ¡®belittle¡¯ this rich young master? Chang Ya also felt that working here would be a rare enjoyment. She thought about the suggestion that her assistant, Xiao Li, had just made. Sister Chang, when can our company move our office here? Then, she smiled bitterly and quickly walked forward. ¡°President Cao, we¡¯re here.¡± Cao Su turned around to greet them and said, ¡°Ms. Chang, our company is short of manpower. I¡¯ll have to trouble the two of you for an interview this morning.¡± He had been thinking about how to complete the system¡¯s random mission, [Thoughts on Reading], and was suddenly lost in thought. Last night, he read a classic book that started with the word ¡°Gold¡± for two hours and successfully completed the mission [Liver King]. He received 20 Energy Serums as a reward. Its effect was as the name suggested. However, the [Thoughts on Reading] mission required him to share his thoughts after reading and gain the recognition of others. Who was he going to talk to? University roommates Guo Zefang, Jiang Wenxuan, Shen Mingze, Brother Hu? Wouldn¡¯t it be more interesting to talk about the book with a beautiful woman? ¡°President Cao, it¡¯s no trouble at all,¡± Chang Ya quickly said. ¡°It¡¯s all part of our service.¡± Cao Su smiled and made a gesture. ¡°Let¡¯s begin then.¡± He walked back to his desk with his coffee. Chang Ya and the three interviewees were scheduled to be interviewed half an hour apart. The first person who came in was petite. She was wearing a burgundy shirt and navy blue jeans. She had a neat ponytail and a beautiful face. There was distrust and impulse in her eyes, like a lion ready for battle. Cao Su chatted with her for a while before passing on her. This was a boxer. The second girl who came in was tall, 1.7 meters to be exact. She wore exquisite glasses, and her small face was delicate and fair. She wore an elegant khaki T-shirt and black tights that wrapped her slender and straight legs. She was a beautiful 24-year-old girl. After chatting with her for a while, Cao Su was quite satisfied with her ability. After all, she had two years of experience as a secretary in an online company. He even scanned her data. He placed the gel pen in his hand on the document and smiled. ¡°Yu Qin, do you have anything else to ask?¡± Yu Qin pushed the glasses up her nose bridge and asked boldly, ¡°President Cao, I would like to ask what your administrative assistant will be expected to do.¡± Cao Su smiled. She was a girl with a lot of ideas. She knew her value and spoke frankly. ¡°The first is to help me manage some businesses in the future and represent me in the board meetings of some companies. The other is a royal concubine who¡¯ll live with a prince.¡± Yu Qin covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Cao Su charmingly and said, ¡°President Cao, I have no more questions.¡± ¡°Then I have another question.¡± Cao Su smiled. ¡°Would you be willing if your annual salary was reduced to 300,000 yuan?¡± He didn¡¯t want his administrative assistant to be too scheming. This girl¡¯s overall quality was not bad. She could be hired as an ordinary employee. She was pleasing to the eye. Yu Qin pondered for a few seconds. ¡°President Cao, I¡¯ll consider it.¡± Cao Su knew what to do and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Shaking hands and watching the ambitious girl leave the office, Cao Su gently shook his head in his heart. Speaking of which, the fierce beauty of the art design team, Lu Zi, was really innocent! He could not help but feel pity for her. The third interviewee was a 26-year-old, extremely beautiful young woman with a bun. She was 1.67 meters tall and had a slim figure. She was wearing an aqua blue short-sleeved slim shirt and white straight pants. Her body proportions were excellent. Her face was exquisite and had that classic beauty, devoid of a single flaw. The elegant and intellectual aura on her body could not be concealed. She was even more beautiful in person than in the photo. Cao Su had a very good first impression of her. He used the health detector to scan the area. [Song Jingying, age 26, looks 97, figure 94, specialty 92] F*ck! As expected, the points were very high. The breakdown of the special score showed that after graduate school, she married her boyfriend, who she had been in love with for many years. However, they divorced within a year. Following the interview process, Cao Su began to communicate with her. After talking for more than ten minutes, he said in satisfaction, ¡°Song Jingying, do you have any questions?¡± Song Jingying was sitting in a soft chair outside her desk. She said elegantly,¡± No, I do not.¡± Cao Su looked at her in surprise and smiled as he stretched out his hand. ¡°Then I wish us a happy cooperation!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After the interview, Song Jingying left Cao Su¡¯s office to meet Chang Ya and Xiao Li. When a headhunter recommended a talent, the company would not pay them after the interview. They still had to wait for the three-month probation period to be over. Therefore, the headhunting company would maintain communication and contact with the candidates during the probation period. Cao Su flipped through a stack of Song Jingying¡¯s files on his desk. He wondered why such a classically beautiful young woman would come to the market to find a job. This really wasn¡¯t nonsense! With Song Jingying¡¯s looks and temperament, did she need to work? Even if he offered a high salary of 2 million. A beauty like her usually did leisurely and decent jobs, such as being civil servants or official employees of state-owned enterprises. Or she might as well not need to work and just be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower! The core of this stack of information provided by the headhunting company was, of course, Song Jingying¡¯s own resume. She was a top student in the Chinese Department of Beijing University. After her bachelor¡¯s degree, she obtained a master¡¯s degree in economics from the People¡¯s University of China. After graduation, she returned to her hometown of Guangzhou and worked in a state-owned tobacco company. She resigned three months ago. Combined with the information that Cao Su had scanned, this Miss Song was full of stories! Cao Su was sighing when his phone rang. It was his classmate, Zheng Shaoning, who called him. ¡°President Cao, I¡¯ve contacted everyone. There are about 20 people from the four ¡¯01 classes of software engineering majors who are willing to attend tonight¡¯s class reunion. ¡°I told them to gather in Shencheng first before going to the place for dinner. Since there will be students from Yangcheng and Huicheng coming over, it would be best if they could also help arrange accommodation.¡± Cao Su leaned back in his chair and looked at the seascape outside the French window. He said, ¡°It¡¯s only understood that I do this. Old Zheng, I don¡¯t know much about the places in Shencheng that are suitable for class reunions¡­ eating, drinking, and having fun. Do you have any recommendations?¡± Zheng Shaoning smiled and said, ¡°The most famous vacation spot in Shencheng are Overseas Chinese Town in the east and Xiaomeisha. However, these two places are a little far away. It takes two hours to get there by car from Nanshan Hill. Or what about Xili? ¡°There¡¯s a Xili Lake Resort here that features sports and leisure activities: tennis, billiards, golf, basketball, soccer, etc. It isn¡¯t far from the industrial park of Da Lan Corporation, a half-hour drive.¡± Cao Su pondered for a few seconds and said, ¡°How about this, Old Zheng? I¡¯ll give you the deposit. Help me book a place for accommodation. Inform everyone to go directly to Xili Lake Resort. I¡¯ll arrange for someone to take over the follow-up.¡± Zheng Shaoning gladly accepted, ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Send me your AliPay account number later.¡± When Cao Su saw the classic beauty Song Jingying walk in, he gestured for her to sit. After hanging up the phone and transferring 50,000 to Zheng Shaoning, Cao Su asked, ¡°The conditions are simple. We only have instant coffee. Do you want a cup?¡± In the morning, he called the water delivery company to send over a water dispenser and filtered water. The cleaning work was done by a few cleaning women hired by the property management. He had brought the computer and tea set from the hotel. Song Jingying sat in the soft chair beside Cao Su¡¯s wide sandalwood desk and nodded quietly. ¡°President Cao, thank you.¡± Cao Su made a cup of instant coffee for her. He leaned against the edge of the desk and admired her elegant bearing, regal and exquisite face, and the intellectual temperament of a young woman. He restrained the idea of probing into her private affairs and said, ¡°Jingying, I¡¯m quite busy here. You¡¯ll start work in the afternoon. Where are you staying now?¡± Song Jingying was in a light pink short-sleeved shirt and white straight pants. Her figure was graceful, and her elegant, intellectual charm was like a breeze on a lotus pond. She sipped her instant coffee from the disposable cup and replied, ¡°I arrived from Guangzhou yesterday afternoon. I am currently staying at the Seven Days Hotel.¡± Cao Su transferred 200,000 yuan to her bank card as the starting allowance for her work. He would not do something stupid like asking his employees to work overtime without paying them. He said, ¡°You can only work well in peace and contentment. Find a place to live as soon as possible.¡± He also bought a few sets of fashionable clothes. Your image represented the face of the company. ¡°I have an alumnus gathering at Xili Lake Resort this afternoon. I¡¯ll send you the detailed address later. I need an assistant to help me with some trivial matters. You just need to arrive at four in the afternoon. Do you have a driver¡¯s license?¡± ¡°I do, President Cao.¡± Cao Su said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to send a car over later. It belongs to the company. You drive first. Next, the more pressing matters will be our staff recruitment and the renovation of the office downstairs. I¡¯ll talk to you about the specifics tomorrow. ¡°I won¡¯t treat you to lunch. You should go and deal with your own matters first. Time is of the essence.¡± After shaking hands with Song Jingying and watching her leave, Cao Su called Qin Yuhan, the car salesperson at Wanhai Car Dealership, and asked her to send a silver-gray BMW 7 series to the ¡°Spring Bamboo Shoot.¡± After hanging up the phone, Cao Su enjoyed the scenery outside the French window and was in a good mood. When they first met, he didn¡¯t rush to get Song Jingying¡¯s good impression but rather restrained himself. The questions he was curious about would definitely be answered in the future. After interviewing the three beauties this morning, he knew what to do. The beautiful girls who came for the interview knew what he was planning by offering a high salary. If there were anything at all, the secretary would have to do it. They all understood, and they were prepared. Some knew how to fight and weren¡¯t afraid of messing around, some were ambitious and wanted to get ahead, and others, like Song Jingying, would leave as soon as he made any unreasonable requests. He had only interviewed three people today. He might even meet a tea master later. However, there was no need to stop the recruitment. It was also fun, right? He needed to practice his golden gaze and fiery eyes. Yu Lei was a student from Jiangzhou University¡¯s software engineering Class 1 and Cao Su¡¯s classmate. He owned a renovation company in Guangzhou and was quite wealthy. At noon on Saturday, he picked up four classmates and drove to Shencheng in a Honda SUV. Along the way, he kept contacting Brother Tiger (Qiao Tianze) through WeChat voice chat. ¡°Brother Tiger, you didn¡¯t go to work this afternoon? Isn¡¯t your car shop busier on weekends?¡± ¡°I asked for leave. Brother Lei, I¡¯ve sent you the location. Just drive along the road. I¡¯ll wait for you by the roadside.¡± ¡°Sure. Brother Tiger, what is Cao Su doing? Why did he set the gathering at such a remote place? The extra 40 minutes of driving is exhausting.¡± Brother Tiger smiled embarrassedly. ¡°I reckon Zheng Shaoning helped to order it. He and Brother Cao both worked at Da Lan.¡± Brother Lei chuckled and said nothing. He saw the photo of Cao Su¡¯s Ferrari sent by Dou Tianshuo from Class 2 in the group, and he wasn¡¯t convinced. Brother Lei drove to Xili Lake Resort and saw Brother Tiger at the entrance. After arriving at the parking lot, he waited for Brother Tiger and went to the hotel building with his four classmates. As he walked, he complained, ¡°Cao Su didn¡¯t put much effort into arranging this. The environment here is not bad. There are mountains and rivers, but the location is too remote and inconvenient.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xili Lake Resort was originally just a village adjacent to the reservoir. However, the secluded mountains and rivers that lined the area gave the location excellent scenery. The trees were lush, and the flowers were gorgeous. As a result, it was chosen by the Shencheng tourism group to be a location where a resort and villa would be built. Brother Lei used the excuse of ¡°all kinds of inconveniences¡± to complain vaguely. He walked into the cool, gorgeous hotel lobby with Brother Tiger and six others. A beautiful young woman dressed in black silk came over to the lobby. She had a fair oval face, bright eyes, and a straight nose. Her facial features were exquisite and flawless. She was a classic beauty. Her looks were stunning. Her black hair was tied up, the skin on her neck was fair, and two silver earrings were swaying gently. She was wearing an exquisite white shirt with a curvy figure. She was wearing a light blue dress that wrapped her hips and a pair of slender legs were wearing black stockings. Her outfit was intellectual and elegant but also indescribably beautiful and bright. It was like a delicate and elegant camelia, unforgettable at first sight, with a touch of lingering fragrance. Brother Lei, the four men, and the lady were all stunned. It was obvious that this was not a hotel waiter. Which hotel had such a high-quality waiter? What was going on? Brother Tiger smiled and walked forward quickly. He introduced with a smile, ¡°Assistant Song, these are five new university classmates. Please take them to register for their accommodation.¡± ¡°Alright. This way, please!¡± Song Jingying, standing at 1.67 meters tall, was in a sleek business suit. She stood in her high heels and smiled politely, then elegantly led Bro Lei and the others to the lobby to check-in. After registering, Brother Lei, who was thirty years old and rather plump, pulled Brother Tiger to the side and asked, ¡°Brother Tiger, what¡¯s going on?¡± The two students from Guangzhou also came over after registering. They were also curious about the identity of this elegant and intellectual classical beauty. ¡°Beautiful, right?¡± Brother Tiger whispered. ¡°Brother Cao¡¯s assistant!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°F*ck! F*ck!¡± Brother Lei and the others exclaimed. But I am not a man of culture, and I¡¯d take over the world if I had a chance. If a man¡¯s assistant was this beautiful, then one could only imagine how powerful he was! It seemed that Brother Tiger¡¯s constant calling of ¡°Brother Cao¡± wasn¡¯t considered soft. His bottom line was flexible! A male student coughed lightly. ¡°Well, Brother Lei, Cao Su has put in a lot of effort to set the gathering venue here! The mountains and rivers are beautiful and quiet, suitable for a late-night chat. Understandably, it might be a little inconvenient to get to the town for supplies.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s a weekend. It¡¯s a vacation.¡± Brother Lei pinched his nose. ¡°I was too arbitrary just now.¡± He patted Brother Tiger¡¯s shoulder and complained, ¡°You brat, why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance?¡± ¡°Zheng Shaoning, Su Shijia, Dou Tianshuo, and the others have arrived early. Did you see who mentioned it in advance in the group? He had to see Assistant Song face to face to know how beautiful she was! That temperament was really amazing! ¡°Even the school belles of our University of Jianghai back then weren¡¯t at this level! When Brother Wei comes later, he¡¯s in for a shock.¡± ¡°The flower of the Su family is here too.¡± ¡°Nonsense! This was the incomparable charm of a young married woman! That would be big news if our school belle was a hot lass back then! Damn it, as long as she¡¯s brave, why would the school belle take maternity leave?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± ¡°Is Cao Su here?¡± someone asked. ¡°Not yet,¡± said Tiger. ¡°He¡¯s still dealing with his company¡¯s work and will come over later.¡± Just as Brother Lei and the others were about to ask Cao Su what kind of company he was running, Brother TIger received a call. Another classmate had arrived, so he went outside to pick them up. Brother Lei and the others took their room cards and went to the hotel to settle down. They asked the Level 1 software engineering group and found out that most of the students who came first were playing cards in the banquet hall called ¡°Xia He¡± on the second floor. Zheng Shaoning greeted. Some people were sleeping in their rooms and playing with their phones. Some people went out to take a stroll and take pictures of the scenery. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the mountains and rivers of the deep city, as if there was a golden light. Cao Su drove the car on the empty road. His heart was calm. On both sides of the road were dense forests and fields, filled with the smell of nature. Those who had never been to Shen City would probably not believe that they could see such a mountain and summer scenery in Shen City. He arrived at Xili Lake Resort at 5:30 p. m. The elegant and intellectual assistant Song Jingying was waiting in the hotel lobby. She came forward and reported,¡±¡±President Cao, I¡¯ve confirmed with Zheng Shaoning that 21 of your university classmates have come. Their accommodations had already been arranged. Dinner has been booked. Cao Su admired her elegant and bright business attire, a white shirt and a light blue one-step skirt. He said with satisfaction, ¡°Jingying, you¡¯ve worked hard. Your clothes are very fitting and beautiful.¡± As the saying went: Rich and noble, but not flirtatious. ¡°Thank you, President Cao!¡± Song Jingying smiled. Come with me.¡± He brought Cao Su to the ¡°Xia He¡± banquet hall on the second floor. She had been greeting President Cao¡¯s classmates the entire afternoon, so she knew a little about his past. He apparently graduated from Jianghai University, a rather well-known institution in the country. They were famous. Zheng Shaoning told Cao Su that about 20 classmates would be coming, and in the end, 21 came. Su Shijia and the other two from the Da Lan Corporation¡¯s Hui City branch all came over. The atmosphere of the meal was very harmonious. They toasted and celebrated Cao Su¡¯s resignation. There were no stories of manipulation and slapping people in the face. It was mainly because of the classically beautiful Song Jingying. Her appearance and temperament were too overwhelming. Two hours later, the lively dinner finally ended. Zheng Wenning shouted in the banquet hall, ¡°Everyone, go play if you should play, and go on dates if you should! It was a rare opportunity to make up for the regrets of youth.¡± The seven or eight girls who came over collectively denounced Zheng Wenning. An unsightly girl called ¡°Yuan Si¡± scolded, ¡°Zheng Wenning, I¡¯ve recorded what you said. I¡¯ll post it in the group later for everyone to hear.¡± Zheng Wenning quickly begged for mercy. A group of students followed suit. ¡°Elder Zheng, it¡¯s useless to just apologize with your mouth. You have to drink. Punish yourself by drinking three cups!¡± Cao Su held a cigarette in his hand and smiled at everyone at the door. Speaking of which, the feeling of being the center of attention of his university classmates was actually quite good. He remembered when he was single at university. Sometimes, he would not talk to a girl for two to three weeks. He would feel anxious and want to wet his pants. Now, he was chatting casually with Su Shijia, the belle of the group. He had just added her contact on WeChat. Su Shijia was a girl from Class 2. He had only come into contact with this beautiful faculty belle a few times in university. ¡°Brother Cao, there¡¯s a three-story indoor gymnasium not far from the lake. You can play table tennis there. I booked the venue for two hours. I¡¯ll ask a few classmates to come with me later.¡± Today, he found out that Cao Su had bought a 7-series BMW from Qin Yuhan. This made him envious! Therefore, he had to lick Cao Su¡¯s boots at today¡¯s class reunion. He had to make Boss Cao comfortable. Cao Su glanced at Brother Tiger, smiled, and nodded in agreement. ¡°Brother Tiger, you¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± It was difficult for more than twenty adults to organize a group activity. Xili Lake Resort had billiards, KTV, a massage center, a video game hall, go-karts, and other facilities. After dinner, they went to find something to play in twos and threes, returned to rest, or found a mahjong spot. Cao Su said goodbye to everyone at the entrance of the banquet hall. Song Jingying, who had just returned from signing the bill, came over to report the cost. ¡°The refreshments cost a total of 52,000 yuan.¡± Cao Su nodded and said, ¡°Jingying, you¡¯ve coordinated well today. Nothing went wrong. As expected of a top student! Go back and rest early tonight. Next up will be your job. We¡¯ll talk about it in detail tomorrow afternoon.¡± Today was also a small test for Song Jingying. From the looks of it, this beautiful woman¡¯s ability was not a problem. ¡°Okay, President Cao.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was past eight o¡¯clock. The moon was hovering in the clouds. A breeze blew on the cement road in Xili Lake Resort. The chirping of insects could be heard. Cao Su walked in a group of seven to the indoor gymnasium. The first floor of the gymnasium was a basketball court. On the second floor was the tennis court. Table tennis and billiards were on the third floor. Brother Tiger went to get his racket and table tennis ball. The ping-pong hall was very spacious, with several tables. There was a bench to rest on next to it. Dou Tianshuo sat on the bench and looked at Cao Su, who was playing table tennis with Su Shijia. He sighed and said, ¡°Elder Zheng, did Cao Su¡¯s beautiful assistant leave? F*ck, how merciless!¡± Zheng Wenning laughed. ¡°Was that necessary? Old Dou, listen to me.¡± Dou Tianshuo exposed Cao Su¡¯s Ferrari in the 01-level software engineering WeChat group, so many students attended Cao Su¡¯s resignation party. However, this was a problem because Dou Tianshuo did not obtain Cao Su¡¯s consent. It was purely because he saw his classmate getting rich and was eager to expose the truth. But how did you know Cao Su was willing to expose his Ferrari sports car? To put it more unpredictably, wouldn¡¯t it be better for Cao Su to drive a sports car to the class reunion and show off? Did he need help to post in the group? He pulled Cao Su into the big group chat and did not post Cao Su¡¯s sports car picture. Dou Tianshuo had something on his mind. Of course, he felt that Assistant Song gave him a sense of oppression. However, she was not present at the entire banquet and did not participate in their class reunion! Cao Su had no intention of showing off his mistress. It was because the more beautiful and outstanding she was, the better Cao Su was doing! The more Dou Tianshuo needed to consider obtaining Cao Su¡¯s forgiveness. Dou Tianshuo hesitated, ¡°Elder Zheng, can it really work?¡± Zheng Wenning patted Dou Tianshuo¡¯s shoulder and said earnestly, ¡°Old Dou, if you think about it from the other side, what would Cao Su think if you apologized to him for this matter? You¡¯re bringing up such a small matter. Do you think I¡¯m that narrow-minded?¡± ¡°This would be a bad thing. You just have to get closer to him in the future and support him more.¡± Dou Tianshuo nodded. Cao Su didn¡¯t know about the conversation between the students. He was chatting with Su Shijia and playing table tennis. She was wearing a light yellow short-sleeved T-shirt with the lower hem tucked into a white mid-skirt. Her slender waist was like a willow, and her curves were graceful. Her looks and figure had fallen slightly compared to eight years ago when she was at Jianghai University. However, she had the voluptuous and moist charm of a thirty-year-old woman. This actually involved an academic question that the old geezer discussed. Was a young girl or a 30-year-old woman better? ¡°Cao Su, I heard from Zheng Shaoning that you resigned from the Da Lan. I thought you were going back to Jiang Zhou to develop. I didn¡¯t expect you to stay in Shencheng and start a company. What does your company do?¡± ¡°I¡¯m preparing to dabble in the film and television industry,¡± Cao Su said. ¡°All grown men knew that it would be a disaster if a few things were not kept secret. Even if the person who asked him was the goddess of his dreams in his youth who was still a very charming beauty, he still wouldn¡¯t casually reveal his business goals. After chatting for a while, Cao Su saw that the other students were waiting for him, so he gave Su Shijia two balls and took the initiative to lose. He went to the seat next to him to rest. His table tennis skills were average, and he had played with his classmates more often in junior high school. He went to play soccer in high school. However, Su Shijia was even worse. Yu Lei (Brother Lei) went up first and said with a smile, ¡°Old Cao, you have poor standards! You softened at the sight of beautiful women. Flower of the Su family, cheer up. I¡¯ll take turns fighting you.¡± Cao Su only smiled. Su Shijia was speechless, but she didn¡¯t lose her temper. She knew that Brother Lei was running a renovation business in the city and was doing quite well. People were different after they¡¯d gotten their way. She had heard even more outrageous things in society over the years. Cao Su sat down on the bench. Brother Tiger eagerly brought him a bottle of iced mineral water and said, ¡°Brother Cao, Brother Wei just declined a dinner appointment and is rushing over.¡± Cao Su nodded slightly and took a sip of ice water. The ¡®Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick¡¯ of their software engineering class should be called the Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard Team. Among them, Brother Wei and Wei Haocheng were doing the best. It was said that they owned a few stores selling mobile phones in Shencheng. Su Shijia was quickly killed by Yu Lei, and another student went up to play. Su Shijia chatted with her classmate Dou Tianshuo, asking about Cao Su. Half an hour later, Wei Haocheng arrived at the resort and called. Cao Su and the others finished playing table tennis and returned to the hotel lobby. Yu Lei¡¯s basketball skills were not bad. He won consecutively and even beat Cao Su twice. As he walked, he smiled and said, ¡°Old Cao, when it comes to earning money, I¡¯m worse than you. But in table tennis, I¡¯m a head above you! You have to admit that.¡± Cao Su felt that Yu Lei was quite interesting. The two were classmates, and he was doing well now. Yu Lei was obviously not convinced. However, Yu Lei didn¡¯t dare to show it, and he had to find trouble elsewhere. If it were him, he would definitely not be so sloppy. Perhaps this was the reason Brother Lei¡¯s business wasn¡¯t doing well. They were chatting while drinking just now. It was said that Brother Lei was running an interior decoration company in Guangzhou. The industry was booming, and he could earn two to three million yuan a year. His net worth was estimated to be around 10 million. At the age of 30, he had such a family background and achievements, surpassing many of his peers. Brother Lei was probably very satisfied with him. Wei Haocheng was waiting in the hotel lobby with a little boy carrying a bag beside him. When he saw Cao Su, Brother Tiger, and the others enter, he stood up with a smile and opened his arms to give Cao Su a hug. He said warmly, ¡°Cao Su, I asked you to attend class gatherings in the past, but you never showed up.¡± He was even taller than Cao Su, at 1.85 meters. He had a body built from working out, and his voice was loud and clear. Cao Su smiled and denied, ¡°No, I was just lucky enough to come into some money.¡± ¡°Who doesn¡¯t make some money in the business world by luck?¡± Wei Haocheng said cheerfully. He then greeted Brother Lei, Brother Hu, Su Shijia, Zheng Shaoning, and the others. After exchanging pleasantries, he said, ¡°There¡¯s a good place called Landscape Club here. It¡¯s very suitable for chatting.¡± Brother Tiger shouted in the group. Landscape Club was located on the west side of the hotel, just across the road. It provides health, fitness, business, and other services. Wei Haocheng asked for a luxurious business banquet hall and asked the waiter to serve tea, fruit plates, and snacks. He invited more than ten students to take a seat and treated them to a round of cigarettes. Yellow Crane Tower, Room 1912. He sat on the sofa and chatted with Cao Su. ¡°Old Cao, I¡¯ve heard the gist from Brother Tiger, but I¡¯m still a little confused. I¡¯m just asking out of curiosity. Please don¡¯t take offense. Are you leaving Da Lan Corporation and preparing to leave Shencheng?¡± Brother Lei interjected sourly, ¡°Brother Wei, we heard from Zheng Shaoning that Old Cao has resigned. He¡¯s treating everyone to a meal and gathering together. Immediately, they rushed over from Hui City and Yang City. They thought it was going to be the last time they¡¯d meet. ¡°Hey! Who knew that he would still stay in Shencheng? He¡¯s already hired a beautiful female assistant. Today, you¡¯ve shocked us old classmates.¡± Wei Haocheng understood and joked, ¡°Brother Lei, our flower is still here! How can you say that!¡± ¡°Brother Wei, I¡¯m really not as pretty as Cao Su¡¯s assistant. Only the campus belles of our University of Jianghai can compare to me,¡± Su Shijia quickly said. ¡°Really?¡± Wei Haocheng chuckled. Old Cao, you¡¯re quite lucky with women!¡± Cao Su smiled as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He knew that denying that he and Song Jingying were not friends yet was useless, so he didn¡¯t say anything. The others all praised Song Jingying¡¯s beauty. The black silk woman had left a deep impression on them. The conversation continued, and time passed quickly. Zheng Shaoning looked at his watch. It was already past eleven o¡¯clock. His opportunity was about to be ruined, but there were too many people at this time, so he could only endure it. After thinking for a moment, he walked to Cao Su¡¯s side and said softly, ¡°Old Cao, I have something to discuss with you.¡± Cao Su nodded and stood up. He actually had a premonition. Zheng Shaoning was so enthusiastic about helping him organize the class reunion; he definitely had something to ask of him. Being able to endure until now before saying it, it was still considered not bad. ¡°Old Cao, let¡¯s talk here,¡± Wei Haocheng advised. ¡°We had a great time chatting tonight. It¡¯s a little late. Why don¡¯t you all rest early?¡± Dou Tianshuo and the others saw that there was serious business, so they cooperated and left. After a while, only Cao Su, Wei Haocheng, Zheng Shaoning, Su Shijia, Brother Lei, and Brother Hu were left in the room.

Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The hardware facilities of the Landscape Club were not as good as the top clubs in Shencheng, but they were comparable to a five-star hotel. The luxurious banquet hall was European style, with a spacious and transparent layout. The crystal lamp above her head was bright. The embossed and oil paintings on the walls were very distinctive. Brother Tiger eagerly poured tea for everyone. The moment Brother Wei arrived, he overshadowed Cao Su¡¯s brilliance. After all, Brother Wei had been rich for four to five years and had accumulated tens of millions of assets! Then whose boot should he lick? Why would an adult make multiple-choice questions? My Brother Tiger even licks it! It was so domineering. It was that awesome. Are you convinced? Zheng Shaoning pondered for a few seconds and organized his words, ¡°Old Cao, I plan to be the first-class agent of the company. This will require 10 million yuan of funds. I¡¯ve gathered two million yuan myself. ¡°I wonder if you are interested in the mobile phone agency business?¡± Of course, there were other conditions to become the phone agent of Da Lan Corporation. He was extremely capable of handling these things. After working in the company for so many years, he had a good social network. The main problem he was facing now was the lack of money! Cao Su felt a little strange and looked at Wei Haocheng. ¡°Brother Wei, I remember you¡¯re in the mobile phone business?¡± Wei Haocheng was tall. He sat on the soft and comfortable leather sofa and drank tea. ¡°Elder Zheng and I talked. I support his idea. The mobile phone industry is booming, and being a first-class agent would definitely make money. ¡°But to invest more than five million yuan into a new company is no small sum. I¡¯m being cautious!¡± Zheng Shaoning smiled embarrassedly. His capital was indeed a little low. After all, Brother Wei was not a professional venture capital investor. Brother Wei had millions of dollars. If he used it to open a few more stores, it would be more profitable than investing it in him. ¡°Elder Zheng,¡± Yu Lei said casually, ¡°You can lower your target a little. Start from the bottom of the distribution chain. This way, the cost would be lower. You can¡¯t become fat in one bite, right?¡± Su Shijia quietly drank her tea and looked at Cao Su, who was deep in thought. She was still an employee, so she naturally wouldn¡¯t express her opinion. Zheng Shaoning didn¡¯t bother with the depressed Lei. He didn¡¯t think much of Yu Lei¡¯s skill. At that time, there was no hero, so the boy became famous! In fact, this was a bit like what the owner of the company said: Tsinghua University and Peking University might as well be bold. This strengthened his determination to leave his job and start his own business. Being one step behind your classmates¡¯ success did not mean that you would always be behind in life. Cao Su¡¯s fingers lightly tapped the sofa. Honestly speaking, with the funds in his hands, he didn¡¯t mind investing 8 million in Zheng Shaoning¡¯s mobile phone agency business. He was a godly tycoon, so he didn¡¯t lack money! However, as Wei Haocheng said, ¡°No one¡¯s money came from trees! Now that he was willing to invest his money, he¡¯d end up with a reputation for being ¡°charitable¡± and ¡°generous.¡± Would this work? No one wanted to leave the impression that they were stupid with money! Spending money to achieve results was what a godly tycoon really was! Therefore, if he wanted to invest in Zheng Shaoning¡¯s mobile phone agency business, he had to ensure that this project could be completed! His investment would have a good rate of return! Thinking deeper. Wei Haocheng was in the mobile phone store business. The biggest difference between him and a mobile phone agent was that his store would sell mobile phones of various brands. Agents, however, could only sell one brand. Wei Haocheng knew this industry very well. Why didn¡¯t he invest? He said that he was optimistic about this project, but his body language said otherwise. So Wei Haocheng insisted that he stay and talk to Zheng Shaoning. Did he have the intention of ¡°testing¡± his quality? This was the world of adults! One should only say a few words when one just met, not pour out his heart to them. Between classmates, it was a little too low-class to act pretentious and slap their faces. This is what a wise man would not do. However, it was certain that there would be conflicts between them in the dark. Wherever there were people, there would be the pugilistic world! Cao Su collected his thoughts, drank a mouthful of tea, and said to Zheng Shaoning, ¡°Elder Zheng, to be honest, I¡¯m not optimistic about the future of LE phones. If you really want to be a first-class agent, you have to find a brand that can survive in the end!¡± The market was now oversaturated with mobile phone brands. But in the end, only a few big brands would be left. This could be concluded from the history of the development of functional machines. The same conclusion could be drawn from other consumer electronics products such as CD players, landline phones, and MP3s.¡± Wei Haocheng sat up straight and looked at Cao Su. Zheng Shaoning smiled bitterly and said, ¡°President Cao, even if I want to be the agent of other brands, I don¡¯t have the resources. I¡¯m a software engineer, so I can¡¯t talk to other mobile phone manufacturers.¡± Cao Su smiled and pointed at Wei Haocheng. ¡°The candidate is far, yet he¡¯s right in front of us. Since Brother Wei was in the mobile phone store, he must be familiar with the major mobile phone manufacturers. You can talk to Brother Wei about the shares and give him nothing. ¡°I¡¯ll give you some financial support. Choose a manufacturer and see which area has an agent vacancy. This matter will basically be settled.¡± Zheng Shaoning turned sideways and smiled apologetically, ¡°Brother Wei.¡± It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t know that Wei Haocheng had resources, but the weight of a person¡¯s words was different. He hoped that Cao Su would come to his aid. Wei Haocheng laughed. Cao Su was still a little immature, but he had to give Cao Su face. After all, Cao Su was considered to be very capable among the group of students. He said, ¡°Old Cao, help Zheng Shaoning up. It¡¯s not a big problem.¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to talk about shares. ¡°The core problem now is to determine which of the many mobile phone brands will survive until the end. The current ranking of mobile phone sales is roughly as follows: Samsung, Nokia, Apple, LG, ZTE, Huawei, LE, Lenovo, Sony, Yulong, and others. ¡°There is no need to even think about being a mobile phone agent for the overseas market. That had already been divided up by Tianyin and China Post. Just talk about domestic brands.¡± As he spoke, he looked at Cao Su with bright eyes. This old classmate had been ordinary in the past twelve years, but recently, he had soared into the sky! He really wanted to understand the reason behind this. This was the opportunity. Cao Su took a sip of the fragrant Longjing tea and calmly said, ¡°Huawei! Huawei is very low-key, but we are all in Shencheng. We know their strength in the field of communications. Of course, Huawei phones were terrible at the moment, but this might be an opportunity for dealers. ¡°Second is the Blue-Green Factory, which is famous for its distribution channels in the era of functional computers. Xiaomi¡¯s mobile phones are very popular online, but I think offline channels are still indispensable. It is an irrefutable truth that the countryside surrounds the city.¡± These words seemed to have a very deep and far-reaching vision! However, the logic behind it was very simple. Which of the top three domestic cell phone manufacturers would you choose? He worked in the Da Lan Group and knew the drawbacks of the LE phone. This brand wouldn¡¯t last long. One was eliminated. Who do you choose? Which of the two companies was more powerful in the competition? Anyone who knew a little about the communications industry would choose Huawei. Wei Haocheng sat up straight. He was in the mobile phone store business and was used to the rise and fall of mobile phone brands. The rise and fall of the country could happen suddenly. What was once the number-one brand in the global market in the era of smartphones? HTC! Have you heard of them? Where were they now? Therefore, if he was asked to give the answer, he would be more inclined to choose manufacturers that survived the era of feature phones. Vivo, Oppo, Gionee, Meizu, and Xiaomi were popular this year and had obvious growth momentum. He was not interested in the China Cool Alliance. Cao Su then said to Zheng Shaoning, ¡°You will pay two million and be responsible for the specific affairs of the new company. You will be the CEO. I¡¯ll make up for the remaining funds for you. I would be the financial backer. ¡°I hope that within three years, you can buy back the shares and obtain a controlling stake in this company so that my investment will receive no less than 50% of the profits. ¡°President Cao, thank you!¡± Zheng Shaoning said excitedly. ¡°Brother Wei, I would like to ask you to help me pull some strings. You name your conditions. I¡¯ll do my best.¡± Wei Haocheng smiled and stretched out his hand to point at Zheng Shaoning and said,¡±¡±Elder Zheng, you¡¯re talking a little too much! What¡¯s the big deal? The circle in Shencheng is only so big. If I don¡¯t pull strings, President Cao won¡¯t be able to find her.¡± Wei Haocheng gestured to the underling carrying the bag behind him, took his phone, and called his friend in the brand department of Huawei. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he said with a smile, ¡°President Yu, I have a friend who wants an agent. I¡¯ll ask if there¡¯s still a position?¡± After chatting for a while more, they agreed to have a banquet in a few days to discuss in detail. After hanging up the phone, he said to Cao Su and Zheng Shaoning, ¡°Huawei¡¯s provincial representative position is gone. Currently, there is an empty spot for a city-level agent in Guangdong Province: Guan City, Hui City, and Zhu City. To get it, he would need a total of 12 million in the early stage. ¡°These three cities are the headquarters of several mobile phone manufacturers. Therefore, Huawei has requirements for the strength of agents.¡± Cao Su smiled and nodded. Zheng Shaoning heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°President Cao is generous,¡± Wei Haocheng said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll also invest one million! Come, let¡¯s have a toast with tea instead of wine. I wish us a happy cooperation!¡± He didn¡¯t want to invest in Zheng Shaoning¡¯s project. Firstly, he didn¡¯t approve of the mobile phone brand that Zheng Shaoning chose to represent. But he would not say it out loud. As a decent person, why should he spoil the fun of others? Second, Zheng Shaoning was alone; without a business team, this would fail. Many people only saw starting a business and making money but did not see how many died in the sea! Now that Cao Su had straightened out the project and wanted to invest 10 million to support it, this was a free ride! He was still lamenting that Cao Su was a little immature just now and was controlled by Zheng Shaoning¡¯s verbal skills. Looking at it now, Cao Su probably wanted to pull him into this project to increase the success rate! He was just pushing the boat with the current. Most of the money earned from this project belonged to Cao. Of course, to be recognized by ¡°Cao Cao¡± was also a good thing. Brother Tiger echoed and hurriedly poured tea. ¡°Cheers!¡± Yu Lei put down his teacup and sighed. ¡°F*ck! Today, I realized that starting a business is actually a very simple thing! The key is to find the right person.¡± He had no choice but to let go of the competitive thoughts in his heart! Was he still going to compete with Cao Su for this? They all laughed. Su Shijia, the elegant, moist flower of the department, quietly glanced at Cao Su, her big eyes sparkling.

Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After the discussion, Wei Haocheng was ready to leave Landscape Club. He still had a meeting at night. Deep in the city at night, the lights were still red and green. It was the time of dollar bills and gold. ¡°Su Shijia, wait a moment. I have something to tell you.¡± Wei Haocheng found an excuse to keep the beauty of the Su family alone. He looked at the beautiful young woman in a light yellow T-shirt and a white dress. Her slender waist was like a willow, and her curves were graceful. He could not help but feel admiration for her. He dared to pat his chest and say that all the boys in the computer science department no.1 had once liked Su Shijia. She was the dream goddess of all the boys in the computer science department! At the welcoming party that year, she wore a waist-revealing dress. The black leggings made her look round and perky, and her legs were long and straight. That night, she was incomparably sexy and dazzling. She sang a gentle song and danced gracefully. She had a slender waist and a beautiful figure. Her body was graceful and soft, and she charmed the group of rough computer science majors. That night, who knew how many napkins were used? And now, eight years later, with his successful career, how could he not want to be close to her? This was the dream of his youth. However, she was a beauty, and he couldn¡¯t destroy someone else¡¯s marriage, could he? He could only care about her occasionally. ¡°Shijia, how have you been recently? Why don¡¯t I drive you back to Hui City tomorrow?¡± ¡°Thank you, Brother Wei!¡± Su Shijia smiled elegantly. I¡¯ll take the bus back with Yuan Si and the others tomorrow.¡± Wei Haocheng could only nod helplessly. ¡°A few days ago, a friend from Jiangzhou sent me some of Jiangzhou¡¯s specialty, Zhouhei Duck. I¡¯ll send some to you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± Su Shijia waved her little hand and walked out of the luxurious banquet hall with her small bag. Wei Haocheng looked at her beautiful figure. Her looks had indeed worsened a little compared to before, but her charm was better. He could only sigh, pick up his phone, and send Yuan Si a WeChat message. To woo a woman, one had to butter her best friend first. This was a basic operation. ¡°Yuan Si, Su Shijia¡¯s husband, was arrested while looking for a prostitute. How¡¯s her marital situation now?¡± After a while, he brought his lackey out to the parking lot. As he walked, he called his friend. ¡°Old Luo, our Class 1 Planning Institute, has another awesome person.¡± Tonight, Cao Su was pushing for Zheng Ning¡¯s mobile phone agency business and was prepared to invest 10 million yuan. The impact was slowly spreading. Xili Lake Resort was quite large. Cao Su strolled along the forest path in the middle of the night, listening to the chirping of insects. He came out of the Landscape Club and looked at his phone. He saw a WeChat message from Su Shijia: ¡°Cao Su, shall we take a walk around the resort later?¡± He would naturally agree to this. However, Su Shijia was stopped by Wei Haocheng earlier, so he went to the lake first. It was obvious that Wei Haocheng admired Su Shijia. The quiet summer night was cool, and strolling along the small road, Cao Su couldn¡¯t help but think of the past in the university era. Just like what he told his sister, Cao Yun, that was the best time of his life! ¡°Who married the sentimental you, who read your diary, who tied your long hair up, who made your wedding dress?¡± He was too ordinary and had never been in a relationship at university. Now that he thought about it, those flowers created a colorful scene, and the center of it all was naturally the Su family¡¯s rose! To be honest, he really didn¡¯t know who the campus belle of the University of Jianghai was. He had a small social circle and had never seen her before. ¡°Cao Su!¡± Cao Su came back to his senses and saw Su Shijia walking toward him on the two-car-wide road of the resort. She was still wearing the same outfit. She was wearing a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt, revealing her fair arms and her straight curves. The hem of her T-shirt was tucked into her white dress, and her calves were straight. Her waist was slender and small. She was 1.67 meters tall and slender. She had a small bag slung over her shoulder. Su Shijia walked closer, and the two walked along the winding road. It was not a good idea to walk along the lake since there were many mosquitoes on a summer night. Su Shijia took the initiative to praise him, ¡°Cao Su, your performance in Zheng Shaoning¡¯s business project just now was really amazing! You really know a lot.¡± Cao Su enjoyed the intimacy of the beautiful woman. ¡°Thanks, Su Shijia! Wei Haocheng is pursuing you?¡± Su Shijia nodded, then shook her head and said self-deprecatingly, ¡°I¡¯m divorced. Wei Haocheng pursued me because he wanted to fulfill a dream he had in college. Strictly speaking, that is not a pursuit!¡± ¡°Why are you using such harsh words to devalue yourself?¡± Cao Su said gently. ¡°You have more mature charm now than when you were in university. I see you at tonight¡¯s dinner party, and you are still the goddess of the boys of our school!¡± Su Shijia pursed her lips and smiled. Cao Su smiled and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Su Shijia couldn¡¯t help but smile. The elegant and beautiful young woman gently twirled her hair in front of her forehead with her fingers. Looking at the distant night view of the reservoir, she said softly, ¡°Cao Su, you are a gentleman.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Su Shijia tilted her head and said, ¡°Because you gave me a two-ball handicap when you were playing table tennis! Look, not only did Yu Lei not let me play, but he even took advantage of me.¡± He was also there when they were playing, but he couldn¡¯t stop Yu Lei from talking nonsense. A beautiful woman like Su Shijia could easily encounter such things in society. Cao Su felt a little pity for her. He reached out and gently hugged her soft waist, gently caressing her soft hair, and whispered in her ear, ¡°I¡¯ll protect you from now on.¡± There were obvious reasons why a mature beauty asked you for a walk in the middle of the night. It was why he was hugging her. Su Shijia¡¯s face was slightly red as she leaned into Cao Su¡¯s arms. She lowered her head and said softly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take it for real?¡± Cao Su gently patted her. ¡°Jiajia, don¡¯t put yourself too low. Do you still remember your dance at the welcoming party? She was so sexy and beautiful that it was hard to forget. You are my dream lover.¡± She was warm and soft in his arms, and the touch was extremely ravishing. It gave off the feeling of fulfilling one¡¯s youthful dream of the past. Su Shijia couldn¡¯t help but purse her lips into a smile. She looked up at Cao Su, her big eyes filled with the charm of a young woman.¡±Did you miss me?¡± Cao Su smiled and nodded at her elegant face. She was the hand-to-hand wife in the dormitory. He continued to walk forward with his arms around the slim and graceful young woman. Seeing her meek and submissive demeanor, he could not help but lower his head and kiss her. Su Shijia was a little shy and hesitated to dodge. In the end, she obediently kissed Cao Su and snuggled into his arms. Cao Su glanced at the path leading to the forest. Su Shijia received a call from Yuan Si. ¡°Jiajia, it¡¯s so late. Why aren¡¯t you home yet?¡± ¡°Sisi, I¡¯m not in a good mood, so I¡¯m wandering outside alone. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Alright then. The security here should be pretty good. Call me if you need anything. My phone isn¡¯t on silent or switched off.¡± ¡°Sisi, thank you for your concern.¡± After Su Shijia finished the call, she took out a small bottle of mineral water from her small bag and rinsed her mouth. Then, she walked back with Cao Su. The two of them had gone too far. Joking with Su Shijia, Cao Su was happy and satisfied, suddenly remembering his random mission. [Thoughts on Reading] was a task that required him to share his thoughts on reading and gain the recognition of others. Since Su Shijia was so obedient, didn¡¯t that mean she would agree with whatever he said? F*ck. Was it okay to complete the system mission like this?

Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The stars shone brightly, and the lake was silent. In the middle of the night, the Xili Lake Resort was so tranquil that only the bright moonlight seemed alive. After being chased by the college students, Cao Su held Su Shijia¡¯s hand and strolled along the two-lane wide cement road towards the hotel at the resort¡¯s entrance. His body felt serene, and his heart was satisfied. Perhaps all men hoped to have such a reversal in their lives, to have their youthful dreams come true! His past was ordinary, but today, he had achieved his old aspirations. This kind of happiness was too refreshing. All of this was brought to him by the System. Looking at Su Shijia¡¯s charming smile, holding his hand, and briskly taking small steps as she reminisced about her university days, Cao Su suddenly understood why he had ¡°won.¡± ¡°Jiajia, it is because I gave you a two-ball handicap when I played table tennis?¡± Wealth and ability were the basics. When they were playing table tennis, she would chat with Dou Tianshuo for a long time, so there was a high chance that she would know about the financial resources that he had displayed to the public. Su Shijia smiled elegantly and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough? You¡¯re trying to see the big picture.¡± Cao Su caressed her hair tenderly and pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her gently and pressed his face against her beautiful and fair face. He understood her thoughts. Leaving university and entering society: If her beauty could be considered capital, it would depreciate rapidly as she grew older and got married. In front of a wealthy man, she was as insignificant as duckweed. Who would value and cherish her? There were many girls younger and more beautiful than her! Therefore, in front of him, she actually felt very inferior. She would no longer consider herself the department belle and goddess of her university days. It was just like how she had realized that Wei Haocheng was only pursuing her to fulfill his dream and not to pursue her for real. She wanted a man who treated her gently. This was really a beauty who had suffered a lot in life! He couldn¡¯t help but feel pity for her and wanted to protect her. However, Cao Su did not say anything at this time. He could not speak empty words. Let¡¯s talk about this later in the parking lot. Su Shijia gave Cao Su a gentle hug. Her heart was filled with tenderness and happiness. But seeing that Cao Su did not say anything in the end, she could not help but feel a little disappointed. She knew that Cao Su was not married yet, so she did not expect this. Cao Su brought Su Shijia along the winding road and continued on, changing the topic to his impressions of reading ¡°Gold.¡± ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be confused by these three things in Shi Cai Hong Fen Ge Restaurant? ¡°If money comes from the world, how is there long-term poverty? ¡°Once the horse dies, all the gold is gone, and the relatives become strangers.¡± Su Shijia agreed with Cao Su. She was still a worker, so how could she have any experience with wealth? After another ten minutes, they arrived at the parking lot outside the resort. The two of them loosened their hands. It would be a little awkward if his classmates saw it. Cao Su brought Su Shijia to his sky-blue Bentley. ¡°Jiajia, I have a gift for you.¡± He took out an exquisite sandalwood gift box from the trunk. When he opened it, there was a very exquisite jade Buddha pendant inside. Its entire body was dark green and glowed under the moonlight. It was in excellent condition! The legendary imperial green jade. ¡°Ah!¡± Su Shijia gasped and covered her mouth in surprise. She didn¡¯t need to look at the price to know that it was very expensive. Cao Su smiled as he hung the jade Buddha on Su Shijia¡¯s snow-white neck. The jade Buddha hung on the outside of her yellow T-shirt. She nodded in satisfaction. ¡°It fits you like a glove.¡± Su Shijia couldn¡¯t help but take the initiative to hug Cao Su and snuggle in his arms. She listened to his heartbeat and stuck close to him. The depression and disappointment in his heart had all dissipated, followed by comfort and happiness. She would definitely not believe him if he said that she was still his goddess. His assistant, Song, was so beautiful! Who was she? However, giving her such an expensive gift meant that she still held some status in his heart. She was very happy. Cao Su smiled. How could he not feel Su Shijia¡¯s downcast mood on the way? However, some things couldn¡¯t be said with just words. They had to be done. He gently caressed the beautiful young woman¡¯s hair. ¡°Jiajia, do we have something important to talk about?¡± Su Shijia buried her head in Cao Su¡¯s arms and hugged him tightly. She said softly, ¡°Whatever you say. I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Cao Su faintly smiled as he tenderly hugged the soft, tender, beautiful young married woman and said, ¡°Jiajia, I can¡¯t give you a status. But I will take care of you for the rest of your life. If you agree, say, ¡°Brother Cao, 666!¡± Su Shijia was amused by Cao Su¡¯s words. She covered her mouth and giggled. This topic was originally a little heavy. She raised her head and looked up at his face, smiling like a flower. Under the moonlight, she whispered beside the car, ¡°Brother Cao, 666!¡± Cao Su laughed. ¡°You only know how to bully me.¡± Su Shijia pouted as she lightly punched Cao Su¡¯s chest a few times. She was like a charming little woman. It was a little embarrassing to shout 666 for him. ¡°Then, are you willing to be bullied by me?¡± Cao Su stretched out his hand and smoothed out the hair on Su Shijia¡¯s forehead as he asked with a smile. Su Shijia looked at Cao Su with her big beautiful eyes and nodded shyly. The happiness in her heart was almost overflowing. She couldn¡¯t help but tiptoe and whisper in Cao Su¡¯s ear, ¡°Cao Su, bring me to the forest by the lake again!¡± Cao Su treated her gently. She wanted to treat him better. ¡°There are too many mosquitoes by the lake. Go to your room in the hotel. I¡¯m afraid that Brother Tiger is waiting at the door of my room.¡± Su Shijia lowered her head and replied in a charming voice. The Xili Lake Resort had a total of seven floors. Su Shijia lived on the fourth floor. This was a lake-view room with a large bed. The room was well-furnished, and the environment was clean. Cao Su took the remote control and turned down the volume of the television. The soundproofing of the room was good, but the surrounding environment was too quiet. It was better to turn on the television to cover up the commotion. ¡°Brother Su, what time is it?¡± Su Shijia asked lazily. ¡°It¡¯s three in the morning.¡± Cao Su picked up his watch and looked at it. He turned around and admired Su Shijia¡¯s beauty. ¡°Jiajia, go to sleep. I¡¯m going home.¡± When their eyes met, Su Shijia thought of what had happened just now and blushed. She couldn¡¯t help but look at him lovingly with her big, charming eyes. ¡°Yes,¡± she replied submissively. He definitely couldn¡¯t stay overnight in her room, or all the students would know the next day. Wei Haocheng took the bus back to Xili Lake Resort at around 9:30 in the morning. He received a call from Brother Tiger, telling him that Su Shijia and Yuan Si had already eaten breakfast and were preparing to return to Hui City. Cao Su¡¯s assistant was arranging a car to go to Hui City. He yawned as he returned home and took a big bag of Jiangzhou¡¯s specialty, Zhou Hei Duck, which his friend had sent him. He quickly went over to give it to Su Shijia. Su Shijia had changed her clothes today. She was wearing a white shirt with the corners tied together and a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans. It accentuated her 1.67-meter-tall figure, slender and graceful figure, as well as her round butt and long legs. It was a beautiful and charming young woman. ¡°Brother Wei, thank you.¡± Su Shijia couldn¡¯t reject him, but she couldn¡¯t argue with him in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, so she could only accept it helplessly. He quietly looked at Cao Su, who was talking to his assistant in the distance. She didn¡¯t want him to misunderstand her. Yuan Si covered her mouth and giggled. ¡°Brother Wei, why don¡¯t we have any?¡± ¡°If you want to eat, I¡¯ll send you some later,¡± Wei Haocheng said generously.¡±This thing was sold online. Express delivery was not a waste of time. It was more affectionate to send it in person. He felt that Su Shijia seemed to have become more beautiful after not seeing her for a night. The moist and charming young woman¡¯s charm was inadvertently seen flowing. Her laughter was like a cup of tea, and a faint fragrance wafted by! He laughed at himself in his heart. He had also become a young man. He had not seen her for a day and had automatically given points to the department belle he admired. As they spoke, Cao Su¡¯s assistant Song Jingying came over and arranged for a car to arrive at the hotel entrance. It was a black SUV with a spacious interior. Su Shijia¡¯s small suitcase was naturally placed in the trunk by the attentive boys. She was bidding farewell to her classmates by the car when her phone suddenly rang. It was a WeChat message from Cao Su. ¡°Jiajia, I saw it. The duck neck is fine. Bon voyage!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but smile, feeling relieved. This sudden beautiful smile made many boys lose their minds on the spot. ¡°Brother Wei, Brother Lei, Brother Hu, Zheng Shaoning, Dou Tianshuo. Thank you for sending me off in the morning. Thank you, everyone. Let¡¯s meet again!¡± Su Shijia waved her hand and sat in the car. He left under everyone¡¯s gaze. ¡°Su Shijia is getting more and more beautiful!¡± Yu Lei sighed. ¡°It feels a little dazzling.¡± Wei Haocheng suddenly reacted. He had rolled around in the flowers before, and his heart was filled with bitterness. F*ck! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The students who attended the gathering left the Xili Lake Resort one after another in the morning. Cao Su sent off most people in the lobby and went to the second floor for breakfast. He had not eaten yet. The rest of the students either sent WeChat messages or called him to thank him before leaving the resort. From the window, he could see the blue waves in the reservoir. In the middle of summer, flowers were still blooming in the remote mountains, and the reservoir¡¯s banks were colorful. Just like Cao Su¡¯s current beautiful mood! Last night, he had completed the system¡¯s random mission [Thoughts on Reading]. He had already consumed the reward [Age Reduction Fruit] when he returned to his hotel room at 3:30 last night. [Effect: Age decreased by two years.] He felt much younger now, full of the vitality of a 28-year-old. The additional benefit brought by this was his appearance had increased by +2. The various physical attributes that were not parametrized by the system would definitely be strengthened as well. Don¡¯t ask him how he interacted with Su Shijia for more than two hours before 3:30 in the morning. Brother Crab is looking at you. It could only be said that he didn¡¯t send Su Shijia off in person at 9:30 in the morning because he was worried that the beautiful woman in the department couldn¡¯t help but stare at him. It wasn¡¯t a big deal if their relationship was exposed. The man and woman weren¡¯t married, but it was too enviable! You held a class reunion and ended up with the goddess that everyone had a crush on. Jungler in the grass! This was completely unnecessary. At around 11 am, Cao Su¡¯s assistant, Song Jingying, finished her work and went to the Cantonese restaurant on the second floor to meet him. Song Jingying was still dressed professionally, in an apricot silk shirt, a black skirt, and flesh-colored stockings. Still elegant and intellectual, she sat elegantly at the round table by the window and reported,¡± President Cao, all the rooms have been checked out. The bill has been settled. Yesterday, your classmate Zheng Shaoning transferred the remaining deposit to me.¡± Cao Su put down his phone and nodded at her with a smile. No matter when one saw this exquisite and classy young woman, they would feel that she was a beautiful scenery pleasing to the eye. He stretched out his hand and gestured. ¡°Order whatever you want to eat. You¡¯re from Yangcheng, so you should be familiar with morning tea. Let¡¯s talk while we eat.¡± Song Jingying was twenty-six years old, extremely beautiful, and the same height as Su Shijia, but she was a completely different type of beautiful young woman than the Su family¡¯s treasure. Moreover, her appearance, figure, and uniqueness were much higher. ¡°Okay, President Cao.¡± Song Jingying poured herself some chrysanthemum tea, then picked some breakfast snacks from the waiter¡¯s cart. She ate her breakfast elegantly and went straight to work. ¡°President Cao, I¡¯ve read the email you sent me last night.¡± Cao Su smiled. He ate a spoonful of pineapple fried rice and leisurely drank his morning tea. The fragrance circulated in his mouth. The class reunion had ended. The fragrance of Su Shijia, the prettiest girl in the university, seemed to linger on his fingers. But it was indeed time to continue working! Last night, he was talking about wealth with her on the road. After enjoying the benefits of money, who would want to live without it? Didn¡¯t you know that once the horse dies and the gold was gone, relatives became strangers? Therefore, the mindset of an adult was to work hard and protect everything that they had. He had to do his work and complete the system¡¯s main mission. His body had just recovered, and it was perfect for him to finish [Main Mission 1] in one go and increase his daily system income. ¡°Jingying, you have two assignments this week. First, complete the recruitment of the company¡¯s staff as soon as possible. I have two foreign investment projects: A real estate agency and a mobile phone agency. Financial and legal personnel are to be in place as soon as possible. ¡°Secondly, change the company¡¯s registered address and move the company¡¯s bank account over. The bank registered by the intermediary is too far away from our company¡¯s office.¡± Song Jingying nodded slightly.¡± President Cao, you also mentioned the renovation of the 31st floor in the email. You also mentioned that you need me to help you manage the related assets. How should we deal with these two matters?¡± ¡°The renovation isn¡¯t urgent,¡± Cao Su said. ¡°The 32nd floor is good enough for now. I¡¯ll see if Changya has any new candidates for her assistant this week.¡± ¡°President Cao, you said in your email: The World Incorporated¡¯s main priority is to start a business in the live broadcast industry. What you¡¯re doing now is basically unrelated to this. How are you going to cut in?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t blame me for not starting the project!¡± Cao Su laughed. The headhunters haven¡¯t even found me a general manager yet.¡± ¡°President Cao, forgive me for being blunt,¡± Song Jingying said. ¡°Jincheng might be strong in Shencheng, but not in the country. If you want to do a live broadcast, you can do it in Yangcheng, 9518 in Hangzhou, and Six Rooms in Beijing. You¡¯ll need to find a better headhunter!¡± Cao Su was slightly surprised. Other than her beauty, Song Jingying was quiet, and he knew that she was scheming and was ready to leave at any time. It was rare that she¡¯d plan for the company¡¯s wellbeing. On the first day he received the God Tycoon System, he made it clear that he wanted to live a life of pleasure. Who didn¡¯t love wine and beauties? These days, his days were really carefree. This morning, he even let the goddess of his youth dream to sing a melodious song. This caused him to not pay enough attention to the matter after he handed it over to the headhunter. Cao Su knew his mistake and corrected it, and he said smoothly, ¡°Jingying, thank you for your advice. I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. We¡¯ll negotiate with a few headhunters and hire a general manager candidate for the company as soon as possible.¡± ¡°For the small matter of the company¡¯s registration and relocation, hire the staff this week and let the underlings run the errands.¡± Song Jingying was a little surprised by Cao Su¡¯s reaction. He was a rich man, and sometimes he would care about his reputation and might not listen to others. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It is duty and loyalty to the people.¡± Cao Su smiled. ¡°This is a good idea! Actually, it¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t thought about the company¡¯s future during this period of time. ¡°When we do live streaming, we must first make it clear that we are not a guild of the major live streaming platforms. That kind of company was only worth tens of millions at most. Instead, he would directly make a live broadcast platform, and definitely not on the PC. ¡°The launch of YY and 9518 marked the end of the PC live-streaming industry. Our focus is on mobile. ¡°Let me show you this.¡± He hadn¡¯t been enjoying life this week. He found a reputable information company and negotiated a deal. He paid them to produce a research report on the situation of the live broadcast industry. He was assessing whether the current market could accommodate a new live-streaming platform. Which direction should this new live-streaming platform direct the live-streaming content towards? Wait a minute. He hoped that after the company¡¯s team was recruited, the platform would be online, and the relevant work could be carried out immediately. Song Jingying took over Cao Su¡¯s iPhone and looked at his email interface, checking his emails with ¡°Youda¡¯s¡± manager. She knew that President Cao was trying to regain some face in front of her, so she looked at it seriously. Although it was a temporary job, she didn¡¯t want her boss to be an idiot! Song Jingying roughly browsed through it and was about to praise President Cao when a WeChat notification popped up on her phone. [Brother Su, I¡¯m home! I¡¯m so tired. I want to catch up on my sleep in the afternoon! I¡¯m going to fall apart because of you. I¡¯m begging for mercy, and you¡¯re still like that.] Song Jingying¡¯s beautiful face suddenly turned red. She returned the phone to Cao Su and criticized, ¡°President Cao, you¡¯re really ridiculous!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Cantonese restaurant on the second floor of the Xili Lake Resort Hotel provided morning tea. It was close to noon, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was still leisurely. Cao Su took the phone and unlocked the screen. When he saw the WeChat message from Su Shijia, he was delighted. The Su family flower was indeed an interesting beauty. She knew the meaning of ¡°rush¡± and seduced him with this message. She was obedient, gentle, sensible, and doting when she was with him. Other than the happiness brought by her identity as the department belle in her youth, he could also deeply experience the mature charm of a beautiful 30-year-old woman. He couldn¡¯t help but think of the eternal technical topic of the old geezer: Which was better, a young girl or a thirty-year-old woman? Cao Su placed his phone on the round table covered with a white tablecloth and said shamelessly, ¡°Jingying, I¡¯m sorry, this is a private message.¡± ¡°Even if I¡¯m not embarrassed, others might.¡± After speaking, he saw Song Jingying¡¯s pretty face flush, making her look even more charming and beautiful. She was looking at him with a speechless expression, so he could only change the topic. ¡°Actually, Jiajia and I talked about ¡®Gold¡¯ last night.¡± Song Jingying was a top graduate from the Chinese Department of Beijing University and had naturally read the famous novel ¡°Gold¡± during her university days. She subconsciously commented, ¡°President Cao, read Gold. Those who have compassion are Bodhisattvas, and those who have fear are gentlemen. Those who have a heart of joy are villains; those who have a heart of imitation are animals!¡± F*ck! Cao Su was not interested in being beaten into a beast. He put away his intention to joke with her and said, ¡°Jingying, when you judge a person¡¯s character based on what you think while reading a book, there¡¯ll be a problem with the logic itself! ¡°The law did not support it. Zhang San said that he was going to bomb the police station, but he didn¡¯t carry it out. This could only be considered a joke! Since ancient times, one¡¯s heart has always been the only thing that mattered. ¡°I read for two hours the day before yesterday as a pastime. A sentence in the book left a deep impression on me: Who is not fascinated by these three things of the world: Power, Property, and Good Food? What do you think of this?¡± Song Jingying looked at Cao Su with her big, bright eyes, having completely no idea what to say. First, what did it mean to judge one¡¯s actions without considering one¡¯s heart? The problem now was that he did it with a married female classmate. She had registered her yesterday afternoon, so she naturally had an impression of his classmate¡¯s name. Su Shijia was the prettiest girl in their university. She was a beautiful young woman but wore a wedding ring on her ring finger. Secondly, the comments she had just recited were indeed a little overboard. No matter what she was thinking, there was no reason to accuse President Cao of being a beast. Now, President Cao¡¯s ¡°counterattack¡± had arrived! He did not let her off just because she was a beauty. It was obvious that the following conversation would be filled with language traps. ¡°President Cao, there are two meanings to this sentence. The so-called Shi Cai Hong Fen Ge Restaurant referred to money, beautiful women, good wine, and delicacies. Who in the world would not be confused and attracted by these three things? Therefore, Zhang Sheng loved Xue Er. ¡°The second meaning is that only by not being confused and attracted by these three things would one be a true expert!¡± Cao Su drank a mouthful of tea and asked, ¡°Then how do you think you can reach the second level?¡± ¡°President Cao, there¡¯s actually an answer in the book,¡± Song Jingying replied. ¡°Damage to the body, harming life, being more delicate, don¡¯t miss this, nourishing the Dantian, and those who have few desires will live a long life.¡± ¡°Cao Su smiled and happily ate the shrimp dumplings. ¡°This is what I don¡¯t agree with. I¡¯m a simple man who likes money, beauties, and delicious food! If I wanted to quit all these pleasures, what fun would there be in life? ¡°Even if a secular person had a pure heart and few desires and lived a long life, he cannot be called an expert. What¡¯s the difference between a real man doing nothing and rotten wood and grass? ¡°For example, Cao Cao loved wine and beauties all his life, but it didn¡¯t affect his achievements and historical evaluation. He defeated the Yellow Turban Army, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Yuan Shao, went deep into the north of the Great Wall, reached Liaodong, and dominated the world. He didn¡¯t let down the ambition of a real man! ¡°Therefore, when evaluating a person, one should never use his lifespan or his reading of Gold. One should see what he had done for this nation! ¡°Being greedy and lecherous is just a small part of it. The key is that it cannot affect the proper business. It is a pity that the emperor would perish because of this, and it is a pity that the generals and generals would destroy the state. That¡¯s a crime punishable by death! ¡°As the saying goes, a real man¡¯s ambition should be like the Yangtze River that flows east to the sea!¡± Song Jingying, the classically intellectual woman, silently picked up her delicate teacup and sipped on her tea. President Cao had already uttered the words of a maestro. What else could she say? Of course, those who were famous would read the history books! No one would look at the small fry. There were no records of them, even if he wanted to see them. In other words, she was now rendered speechless by President Cao¡¯s counterattack. Cao Su smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He stood up and said, ¡°Eat slowly. I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs. In addition, Su Shijia is divorced.¡± He knew that Song Jingying would think he was bragging, but that was what he really thought! He had once read ¡°King.¡± After reading it, Cao Su believed that he would definitely not quit! The sage said that when you are young, your blood and qi are unstable, so you should be cautious about your appearance. He was already in his thirties. The important thing was to make a career out of it so that he could live up to his life! In particular, he had the support of the Godly Tycoon System. Therefore, his main goal now was to find a way out. It was not to cultivate one¡¯s character and suppress one¡¯s desires, but to follow one¡¯s heart in order to make one¡¯s thoughts clear and push one¡¯s career to the peak! To be able to realize all the boastful things; that would really be awesome! Only then would he become the true God of the world! Song Jingying stared blankly as Cao Su¡¯s tall, well-crafted figure disappeared from the restaurant¡¯s entrance. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to call out to him, but she didn¡¯t make a sound in the end. For a moment, her thoughts were a little complicated. She believed that Cao Su would not lie to her about something that could be verified. So, she was the one who ¡®stirred up trouble?¡¯ Uh¡­ Cao Su was sitting in the hall on the first floor, replying to the message on his phone. Su Shijia came first, followed by Lu Zi¡¯s WeChat message. Da Lan Corporation was a single company. It was Sunday, and the gentle, fair, and fierce beauty was resting in the dormitory. However, when she found out that he was having a class reunion, she said, ¡°Brother Cao, are you busy? I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Little Zi, I¡¯ll treat you to a meal at the company in two days.¡± After chatting for a while, Song Jingying walked out of the elevator in her high heels and said calmly, ¡°President Cao, I¡¯m done.¡± They were both adults. Even if she knew she had made a mistake, she could not specifically apologize to him. Her opinion of him naturally turned positive. Cao Su nodded slightly and ordered, ¡°Jingying, I¡¯ve called a designated driver. You can hand over the car to her here, and she¡¯ll drive my car back to the hotel. I¡¯ll walk back.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Song Jingying was confused. Cao Su gently smiled and waved his hand. He told the intellectually beautiful young woman, ¡°Jingying, it has nothing to do with you. This is my own training plan.¡± He was in his thirties and had been practicing traditional arts too much, so his body was very weak. However, he had been exercising in the hotel gym daily this week. Together with Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying, the two real estate agents, he had been running around looking at and buying houses, and his bodies had recovered to a certain extent. His little belly was now gone. There was also the ¡°age-reducing fruit¡± that he had consumed this morning. He was confident he could complete [Main Mission 1] and walk ten kilometers without stopping. It was time to level up!

Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cao Su summoned He Che Mo. The night before yesterday, Cao Su asked Xia Ya, the butler of the presidential suite at the Kempinski Hotel, to call a designated driver. The driver happened to be He Che Mo. She left her contact information. Shen University wasn¡¯t far; it was Sunday noon, so he called her to drive. She was really a driver, though. Don¡¯t get the wrong idea. He Xueqian was tall and slender, standing at 1.72 meters tall. She walked on the road at the entrance of the resort in her 10-centimeter high heels. She wore a short-sleeved T-shirt and a short white skirt. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked youthful and beautiful. The men who came in and out looked at the sexy girl who was walking over and their gazes were instantly glued to her. Who could withstand the hypnotic motion from that pair of lanky legs? He Xueqian walked into the lobby of the hotel and saw Song Jingying on the phone. She finally understood why Brother Cao had said, ¡°You¡¯ll know who my assistant is when you get to the hotel lobby¡± over the phone. She stood in the distance and waited for a moment. When the elegant, intellectual, and beautiful woman in stockings finished the call, she said, ¡°Hello, Sister Song. I¡¯m He Xueqian. Brother Cao asked me to drive him.¡± Song Jingying was on the phone with her sister. She came to Shencheng to find a job, so she naturally had to explain the situation to her family. ¡°Oh, hello!¡± Song Jingying shook hands with the tall and beautiful girl before her, handed her the Bentley keys, and sat back in the titanium grey BMW 740Li. She started the engine and drove away. She was very curious about why Cao Su suddenly wanted to walk back to the hotel. She didn¡¯t believe that he had a ¡®training plan.¡¯ Besides, she also wanted to see if he was merely bragging. Although she didn¡¯t say anything after being refuted by Cao Su, she didn¡¯t believe a single word of it. A 30-year-old man still talking about his dreams¡­ it felt like he was being frivolous. President Cao¡¯s mouth was full of ¡°ideals,¡± but he was probably full of ¡°business.¡± After all, it was one of the necessary skills for a boss to ¡°draw a pie¡± for his employees. Da Lan Corporation provided dormitories for the production line employees and lower-income employees. The dormitory was in the industrial park. Meanwhile, accommodation subsidies of 500 yuan per month were provided to employees at C1 grade and above. Jiang Ran, the manager of the digital and electronic products business unit, rented a house in a small district that was 15 minutes away from Da Lan Group¡¯s industrial park. On Sunday afternoon, Jiang Ran and her HR colleague, Sister Zhang, checked into a hotel room to play mahjong. The 25-year-old Sichuan girl¡¯s mahjong skills were almost maxed out. The other two were also female colleagues from Da Lan Corporation. Sister Zhang was a very beautiful woman. She was thirty years old, with delicate skin, fair skin, and a stunning figure. She was 1.66 meters tall. She was large in spots that should be large and round in places that should be round. It was extremely romantic. A few years ago, she went to Jiangzhou to recruit Jiang Ran and recruited her into Da Lan. Jiang Ran was currently developing at a rapid pace. She worked in the president¡¯s office, a connection that enabled them to share a good personal relationship. ¡°Ranran, didn¡¯t you say you were going to exercise today?¡± the first female colleague asked curiously. ¡°Where did you get the time to play mahjong with us?¡± Sister Zhang touched her cards and smiled. ¡°He stood Ranran up. She¡¯s still angry.¡± Jiang Ran nodded and played a card. ¡°Fifty thousand.¡± At noon on Friday, the day before yesterday, Cao Su invited her to go hiking on WeChat. She agreed to the senior¡¯s invitation after twenty minutes. It had been a long time since she had agreed to a man¡¯s private invitation. With such an outstanding man, of course, she was willing to date him. In the end, about the date that she had been looking forward to, he sent her a WeChat message last night: He would be attending a class reunion and was only free the following afternoon. Naturally, she took the initiative to push the date to the weekend. However, she had made up her mind to find an excuse not to go. ¡°Who is it?¡± the second female colleague asked with a smile. ¡°How dare you stand us up for him! Drag him away and kill him.¡± Everyone laughed. Jiang Ran smiled as she picked up her vigorously vibrating phone and looked at the messages. Someone had sent a message in the Da Lan schoolmates¡¯ group chat. ¡°F*ck! It appears our Da Lan Group has produced a real maestro among Jianghai University¡¯s alumni! Cao Su, from the art design team of the product department under the digital electronics department, has just resigned.¡± Next, there were several pictures. One showed Cao Su¡¯s sky-blue Bentley. Some boys in the group estimated that the car¡¯s final price would come up to more than 6 million. There was also the silhouette of an extremely beautiful woman in office attire. It was said that this was Cao Su¡¯s assistant. Jiang Ran was surprised. On Friday morning, Cao Su drove a red Ferrari sports car to work. It was the day the project manager, Yu Ping, apologized to him in public. The news had already spread around Shencheng. However, she had no idea that this senior possessed another luxury car. Senior Cao, just how many secrets were you hiding? Many people in the WeChat group were flabbergasted. Someone asked, ¡°Are there any software engineering students from 2001 in the group? Come out and tell me.¡± ¡°No, there aren¡¯t. The President of Jinzhong Communication, Wei Haocheng, is the leader.¡± What he meant was that no one in the Da Lan Corporation could get into this group. ¡°Yesterday, Cao Su was at Xili Lake Resort to entertain over 20 alumni of 2001 who majored in software engineering. That night, they finalized a ten-million-dollar investment project, which President Wei praised and followed. His wealth and ability were all first-class. Very awesome!¡± ¡°Does anyone have his WeChat? Pull him into the group.¡± Of course, Jiang Ran wouldn¡¯t say that she had Cao Su¡¯s WeChat. The group chat was a mix of good and bad! It couldn¡¯t even compare to the class group chat. She took out her rose-red iPhone, opened Cao Su¡¯s WeChat contact, and sent him a message. It was noon in the middle of summer in Shencheng. The sun was so hot that it could roast people. On both sides of the empty road, the trees were listless from the beating sun. Cao Su carried two bottles of mineral water that he had bought from the resort¡¯s small supermarket. His phone was thrown into a plastic bag. He regretted it after walking less than a kilometer. Damn it, they should be hiking at night, or under a shady, tree-lined path, at least. The system¡¯s mission rules were also very strict: 10 kilometers uninterrupted. He couldn¡¯t stop to rest, or he would have to begin all over again. He gritted his teeth and soldiered forward. After about an hour, Song Jingying appeared beside him in her car. She was wearing a pair of big sunglasses to cover her classic and beautiful face. She drove to prevent the sun from shining on her eyes. She said softly, ¡°President Cao, do you want to rest?¡± Looking at Cao Su, who was sweating profusely as he walked along the empty suburban streets, Song Jingying had a different feeling in her heart. She really didn¡¯t expect President Cao to be serious. She had gone the wrong way just now and did not find him. She thought that he was talking nonsense and could not help but snort. However, she couldn¡¯t help but drive around again and find him. ¡®Tell me, what are you after? Is this some kind of performance art? I don¡¯t see you live-streaming on your phone.¡¯ Cao Su waved his hand and panted. ¡°Jingying, go buy me some cold mineral water. Help me hold my phone.¡± He still had one bottle of mineral water left. He had to lighten his weight. When people were tired, their phones were also a burden. ¡°Okay, President Cao.¡± There was a gentleness in her voice that she did not notice. She took Cao Su¡¯s phone and went to the small newspaper stand in front to buy water.

Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If a man said that he wanted to walk a long distance and did it under the scorching sun at noon in the deep city, then he had to be able to do it. How could Song Jingying not feel touched after witnessing it with her own eyes? No matter who saw it, they would think that this man was really something! Quality, Will, Tenacity. Therefore, when she was escorting President Cao in the afternoon, she helped him to keep his phone safe. When a girl sent him a WeChat message, she even typed a reply for him. Around three in the afternoon, a girl sent him a WeChat message: ¡°Brother Cao, the picture of your class reunion has been circulated in the group chat.¡± How could she not understand what was going on? At least this girl had a good impression of him. President Cao asked her to help him reply, ¡°Little Ran, I¡¯m exercising. I¡¯ll call you later.¡± There were no rich men who didn¡¯t flirt around! Song Jingying was holding a coffee cup and sighing in front of the French window in the living room of the presidential suite of the Kempinski Hotel. When she heard the noise coming from the Spa room, she couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. ¡°Harder¡­ Harder!!!.¡± ¡°Give me some on the left.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± The housekeeper of the suite, Xia Ya, was a slightly plump but beautiful woman. She was elegant and dignified. She arranged for two technicians to massage President Cao to relax his body. Hearing this commotion, those who didn¡¯t know better would think that something was going on inside! Song Jingying looked out of the window. It was around five in the afternoon, and the summer sun had yet to set. The outer walls of the tall buildings outside were glowing with white light. The number of vehicles and people on the seaside avenue gradually increased. A cool summer night was coming. Cao Su¡¯s meridians were fully activated. His entire body was clear and warm. He even took a nap in the middle. He signed two more hours on the bill to let Yue Xi and the other woman, who had worked hard, rest. He also gave them three 100-dollar bills each as tips. Yue Xi was a very beautiful young female technician. She wore a soft light purple suit and was very charming. She smiled sweetly and said, ¡°President Cao, thank you! Do you need any other services?¡± President Cao had never ¡°tipped¡± her before. Naturally, she did not cross the line. He couldn¡¯t help but ask. It was fine if President Cao didn¡¯t give it, but it would a lot once he did! Cao Su smiled and waved his hand. He was exhausted, so where would he have the mood to play? Besides, his beautiful assistant was still waiting outside. After taking a quick shower and changing his clothes, Cao Su came out of the bedroom and saw Song Jingying sitting alone in front of the French window, drinking coffee and enjoying the sea view. He waited for her for a while. It had to be said that the back view of her sitting quietly was a piece of art on its own! Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was wearing an apricot silk shirt. From her side profile, she looked straight and curvy. The black dress accentuated her perfectly round curves. Her jade-like legs were wearing flesh-colored stockings, and they were elegantly folded together. Exquisite and intellectual beauty, but still in the air. It gave everyone the urge to approach her and kiss her. ¡°President Cao, you¡¯ve recovered!¡± Song Jingying turned around and asked with a smile. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the commotion inside just now. ¡°Yes.¡± Cao Su smiled and walked over. ¡°Jingying, thank you so much for this afternoon. I¡¯ll treat you to dinner. I¡¯m just expressing my gratitude.¡± Many had claimed that his body was weak. A 30-year-old man couldn¡¯t even walk 10 kilometers? Whoever tried would know! That feeling was very sour and refreshing. Fortunately, he managed to pull through. When he was lying down and getting massaged, he was relaxed and happy because he had successfully completed the mission. The upgraded godly tycoon system even gave him a [Random Mission: Physique Enhancement]. Song Jingying agreed, ¡°Okay!¡± There was a dining room in the presidential suite. Xia Ya, the butler of the suite, received Cao Su¡¯s instructions and would serve a meal for two that would be prepared by the French restaurant later. They chatted casually with Song Jingying about the company, the livestream, and the future of Shencheng¡¯s real estate. The meal was very harmonious. After dinner, Cao Su sent Song Jingying back to the elevator. ¡°Jingying, watch yourself, eh! Send me a message when you arrive.¡± During dinner just now, the two of them drank some red wine. Cao Su asked the hotel to send a car to send her back. Song Jingying nodded and stood elegantly in front of the elevator in her high heels. She said hesitantly, ¡°President Cao¡­¡± Just then, the elevator came up. ¡°Forget it¡­¡± She smiled and waved her hand, then walked into the elevator with Xia Ya. Cao Su looked at the closed elevator door, blocking the faces and figures of the two beauties. Walking back to the luxurious and spacious suite, he suddenly understood that this elegant and intellectually beautiful young woman was probably misunderstanding something. She had thought that he was trying to show her his determination and build up his image by walking this afternoon! He also wanted to make her feel good about him. After all, at noon, he was like a rooster flying on the roof, singing high and mighty songs! This would ruin his character and image! The old geezers were shaking their heads in front of the screen. As a tycoon, it was normal for people in Guangdong to lose their connections! What was with that ¡°Gold?¡± But in fact, he was not. He didn¡¯t. Don¡¯t think too much. He was only completing the system mission! In the week that he had become a tycoon, he had become mesmerizing. In fact, he enjoyed the feeling of being a hardworking bee. However, he didn¡¯t have any intention of plucking Song Jingying. He had always known his limits. For example, he knew that Jiang Ran wanted to be in a relationship with him, but he couldn¡¯t give her love. He had to be a little less romantic to her. With his current ambitions, it would be very difficult to attract a beautiful young woman like Song Jingying! A man¡¯s wealth would give him extra points, and so would a successful career! However, he had to eat the rice bit by bit, right? How long had it been since he became a tycoon? Of course, this misunderstanding seemed pretty wonderful now! When he was recruiting this beautiful young woman yesterday, he did not expect that his relationship with her would progress so much in just one day. Cao Su laughed. There had to be a sense of urgency in doing business. Time waited for no one. However, he had to remain calm. He took a walk in the presidential suite to digest his thoughts. He sorted out his plans in his mind before falling asleep. The next morning, Cao Su woke up. After washing up, he did twenty push-ups in the presidential suite and easily completed the [Random Mission: Constitution Enhancement, Received reward: Constitution +3.] This was a hidden attribute. He couldn¡¯t see the specific value on the system panel, but he did feel much more relaxed and refreshed. He could not complete the random mission issued by the God of Tycoons system. The difficulty was how to trigger it. He had previously lamented that the longer he became a tycoon, the higher the threshold of his joy. The night before last, he ¡®got what he wanted¡¯ and had a conversation with the goddess of his dreams in university, the beautiful and elegant young woman Su Shijia, but he did not trigger the mission! He might have to make three in the future. On the contrary, he felt very good after a lot of exercises on this hiking trip! The core factor should not be the feeling of happiness after exercising. It was because he had finally completed the mission through ¡°hard work.¡± It was a little trick he had to remember. After breakfast, Cao Su drove out. Today, he would have an appointment with Jiang Yingying, Chen Wu, and a group of real estate agents to go through the transfer procedures of several houses in the housing management service hall. With Shencheng¡¯s purchase restriction policy, he definitely couldn¡¯t buy that many. They were all purchased in the name of ¡°The World.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the morning, the district property rights registration center was crowded with visitors who came to handle various matters. Accompanied by Jiang Yingying and Chen Fu, Cao Su sat in the hall on the second floor and waited. A few interested real estate agents were busy. 2% of the price of the house would be taken as the intermediary fee, so they naturally worked hard. This cost was usually borne by the buyer rather than by both parties in the legal sense. Cao Su had to pay nearly 1.2 million yuan just for the agency fees. He also had to bear the taxes and fees for the transfer of ownership. Sigh. The real estate industry was really booming! Those who were exploited were the buyers who were willing to empty their wallets. Ten days ago, he was just another cog in the rat race. Of course, he was also at a disadvantage, but he had more than enough funds, so he felt different. At around 11:30 in the morning, Cao Su finished the procedures for the third house that needed to be transferred today and drove Jiang Yingying and Chen Wu to find a place to eat. Jiang Yingying was 1.66 meters tall. She had a delicate face and fair skin. She wore a black dress that accentuated her exquisite figure, making her look sexy and charming. She and Chen Wu sat in the back of the car and smiled. ¡°Congratulations, President Cao. Tomorrow, the ownership of the 12 houses would be completed, and all they need is to wait for the certificate to be issued.¡± Cao Su drove skillfully. No matter what car it was, one would naturally be familiar with it after driving for a long time. When the engine was given a little gas, it would roar. ¡°Yingying, you flatter me! I¡¯ve been sick of doing the transfer of ownership for the past two days.¡± ¡°President Cao, you can punish me later!¡± Jiang Yingying smiled. She had been in sales for nearly three years and was still very lively. Moreover, President Cao was holding a big order with a commission of one million yuan. She had gotten along very well with him these days. He was a very nice person. She did not mind joking with him. In fact, she did not mind undressing President Cao to accommodate his shock. It wasn¡¯t just a hint. She had hinted at him several times these past few days, but President Cao wasn¡¯t willing to eat her. However, Cao Su¡¯s attitude was completely different from before. He smiled and said, ¡°Alright! We¡¯ll sign the contract during dinner later. I¡¯ll take you to a hotel in the afternoon to enforce the family law. Xiao Wu, did you bring the contract?¡± The week before, he had told them to help him for a few days. Today, the villa at Shengshi Residences had to be settled. Jiang Yingying covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes rippling. Chen Wu wore a white shirt and a pair of tight-fitting blue jeans, revealing her 1.7-meter-tall slender figure. Her pair of beautiful legs were very eye-catching with the jeans. She was wearing no makeup, giving off a very original feeling. The two of them were employees of the developer¡¯s sales department, not the intermediary company. Therefore, they hadn¡¯t worn the professional attire that they had been selling for the past few days. Of course, the 2% sales commission had nothing to do with them. Otherwise, as the salesperson who brought the customers here, she would also get a share. Chen Wu sat quietly in the back seat and smiled, ¡°Take the valet. President Cao, you are the legal representative of your company. You must sign the transfer procedures.¡± Cao Su turned the steering wheel and pressed the horn, sighing, ¡°That¡¯s why we have to give out the legal representative.¡± The 66th floor of the Chunsun Building was more than 300 meters tall. The 50th floor and above are not open to the public. Cao Su brought Jiang Yingying and Chen Fu to the Chinese restaurant on the 56th floor. This was a luxurious and high-end private club that mainly served the bosses and executives of the building. Sometimes, a suitable place was needed to discuss business. Of course, the property owner would provide services. This was a business opportunity. Cao Su had rented two floors of office in the Chunsun Building, so he had naturally obtained the qualification to enter this club. He had brought Song Jingying here to eat yesterday as a reward, and the Cantonese food was really good! Song Jingying¡¯s recruitment efforts were very effective, to say the least. She first hired a few HR managers, who went on to recruit employees from other departments. The structure and framework of the company were quickly built. She went to work at the company yesterday. The front desk and administrative department of the company were almost fully equipped. The printer, pantry, and refrigerator were all set up. At the very least, the office area was running smoothly. As for the hasty and large-scale recruitment, were the employees suitable? Wasn¡¯t there a three-month probation period? At that time, a batch would definitely be cut. ¡°Ah¡­ President Cao, the scenery here is really good!¡± Jiang Yingying exclaimed with her exquisite figure, standing in front of the French window. She bent over to take a photo with her phone. She was wearing an exquisite black dress that wrapped around her hips. Seaview, high-rise buildings, and luxurious private rooms: This dining environment was indeed very nice and beautiful. Chen Wu, who had always been demure and dignified, couldn¡¯t help but take photos by the window like Jiang Yingying. Cao Su ordered the dishes and handed the iPad to the waiter. He smiled and drank Pu¡¯er tea, admiring the beauty of the two girls. One was delicate and pretty, while the other was pure and gorgeous. One wore a black dress, while the other wore a white shirt and jeans. He hadn¡¯t played shooting games for a few days and wanted to play a few rounds. The dishes were served very quickly in the restaurant. First, two sets of peanut bean chicken feet soup for women¡¯s beauty were served. Cao Su¡¯s dish was naturally the nourishing ginseng pigeon soup. They chatted while enjoying the meal. Next, three large lobsters were served. They were steamed lobsters with garlic vermicelli. He chose the Australian dragon, which tasted very good. Then, there was the famous Cantonese dish, Braised Sea Ginseng, in Abalone Sauce. He continued to serve steamed Eastern Star Spots, bamboo lamb brisket in casserole, shredded chicken, roasted goose platter, and grilled oyster. ¡°President Cao, you ordered too much,¡± Chen Wu couldn¡¯t help but say. Delicious food was indeed tempting, and she ate heartily. Cao Su smiled and poured tea for her, ¡°Little Wu, it¡¯s fine to eat more seafood. You won¡¯t put on weight.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The meal was very harmonious and enjoyable. It had to be said that the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women were indeed refreshing and in a good mood! [Host is in a good mood. Random mission triggered: Gym.] After the meal, Cao Su took the contract for the Shengshi Residence and signed it with the two beauties beside him. Jiang Yingying, who was on his right, touched him softly. The commission of nearly a million yuan would be split equally between the two of them in the end. After signing the papers, Cao Su asked the question that he had always been curious about, ¡°Xiao Wu, you¡¯re a graduate of Sun Yat-sen University with an accounting major, so you shouldn¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find a job?¡± Of course, I didn¡¯t mean to say that her current job wasn¡¯t good. Of course, adults had to be more mellow when they spoke. After eating the delicious food, Chen Fu was a little relaxed and said, ¡°President Cao, after I graduated, I was recruited by the university to work for a big company in Shencheng. After working for less than half a month, the head of the department threatened me, asking me to be his lover on the grounds that I was on probation. I left.¡± Cao Su was a little surprised, but he also felt that it was not strange for such a thing to happen to her. Her looks and figure were too good. ¡°I¡¯ll let you vent your anger another day!¡± Chen Wu¡¯s heart jumped. She came from an ordinary family, so she was lucky that she didn¡¯t suffer any losses. She didn¡¯t even dare to think about revenge. However, it would be a lie to say that she was not angry at the old man who ruined her career. ¡°President Cao, thank you!¡± After the contract was signed, Cao Su called his personal secretary assigned to him by the Shen City Commercial Bank and arranged for the down payment to be transferred over. He would go through the loan process to buy this villa. Jiang Yingying assured him that there would be no problem. Looking at Jiang Yingying¡¯s smiling face as she put the documents into the document bag, Cao Su took a sip of tea and said, ¡°Yingying, I want to talk to Xiao Wu alone.¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The private room on the 56th floor of the First Bamboo Club was filled with a modern atmosphere. The gorgeous chandelier, the sculptures in the corner, and the soft and luxurious golden carpet all displayed a luxurious atmosphere. Chen Wu saw Sister Ying take the document bag and bag out and close the door of the private room. She inexplicably panicked and looked at Cao Su with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her legs tightly closed. She was 1.7 meters tall and had a tall and slender figure. He was wearing a white shirt. The aqua blue slim-fit jeans made her legs look very sexy. The 22-year-old girl was delicate and beautiful, like a piece of unpolished jade. Cao Su picked up his teacup and smiled, ¡°Little Wu, do I have to take the initiative to say it?¡± Chen Wu¡¯s beautiful face instantly turned pale as she forcefully pursed her lips. She felt as if something in her heart had collapsed. She used to think that President Cao was more gentlemanly than He Xiaohui, who was pursuing her, and that he would not do anything indecent. She had once felt shy when she recalled how President Cao had treated her to Western food and asked her how it tasted. She had honestly replied that it was very good. Her heart was beating faster just now because President Cao casually said he wanted to stand up for her. In addition, after spending more than ten days together, the good impression President Cao had left on her was like a hypocritical mask. Unmasked then were the ugly human nature and unspoken rules of society! At the end of the day, he still wanted to sleep with her! Cao Su was a bit surprised by Chen Wu¡¯s reaction and put down his teacup, preparing to ask her with concern. Chen Wu gritted her teeth and said, ¡°President Cao, I¡¯m not here to sell myself! If you want to break the contract, then so be it. At most, I¡¯ll resign.¡± As she spoke, tears fell. She had worked hard for more than ten days, but it was all for nothing again. Cao Su was stunned for a moment before he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. This little girl¡¯s vigilance was really strong, ¡°Little Wu, what are you thinking? I¡¯m asking if you want to work for me. Real estate sales won¡¯t last forever.¡± Chen Wu¡¯s brewing mood was interrupted, and she felt like time had stopped. She looked at Cao Su in a daze. Her clear almond-shaped eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, confusion, and other emotions. So, she was completely wrong? This¡­ Her mouth was slightly open in shock, and tears continued to flow down her face. Cao Su found it funny and felt pity for her. He handed her a tissue on the dining table and said gently, ¡°Xiao Wu, I¡¯ve already made it so obvious. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to apply for a job with me? I, the boss, have to take the initiative to ask you! I still have a lot of money to buy a house, and I need to find a bank loan. I certainly don¡¯t want to deal with these trivial matters.¡± Chen Wu took the tissue, feeling embarrassed for misunderstanding him, and sobbed, ¡°President Cao, isn¡¯t applying for a job with you like throwing a sheep into a tiger¡¯s mouth?¡± Under the agitation of her emotions, she told the truth. Cao Su couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Xiao Wu, I won¡¯t force myself on you. I still have this bottom line.¡± With your beauty, no matter where you go to work, there will probably be no lack of suitors and men who have all kinds of thoughts about you. With me, at least you don¡¯t have to worry about those messy things. You only need to guard against me.¡± Chen Wu wanted to laugh at his self-deprecation, but her eyes were filled with tears, so her smile would definitely be very ugly. She could only restrain herself and wipe her tears with a tissue. Actually, she was convinced. She had only worked two jobs after graduating from university and could not avoid men pestering her. Who could treat her as gracefully as President Cao? Cao Su smiled as he took a sip of tea and said in a half-teasing manner, ¡°Xiao Wu, after you work for me, you must be more vigilant. I¡¯ll make you fall in love with me.¡± Chen Wu couldn¡¯t help but laugh, her eyes sparkling as she coquettishly said, ¡°President Cao, you¡¯re so narcissistic!¡± She wanted to throw a tissue at him. Cao Su laughed out loud, knowing that it was settled. If she didn¡¯t reject it, it meant that she agreed. ¡°Little Wu, give you ten minutes to go to the bathroom to fix your makeup. I¡¯ll take you downstairs to my company to have a look.¡± ¡°A little faster. Yingying was still waiting outside. Otherwise, she¡¯ll think that we¡¯re doing something good in the private room.¡± Chen Wu couldn¡¯t help but think of Sister Ying giving him benefits when they signed the contract: She dawdled and opened her collar. She could see that President Cao was admiring it. Otherwise, why would she think in that direction just now? She couldn¡¯t help but blush as she looked at her again and said coquettishly, ¡°I didn¡¯t. President Cao, you¡¯re so horny!¡± She took her bag and got up to go to the bathroom in the room. She walked briskly. The World Incorporated was located on the 32nd floor of the Chunsun Building. After exiting the elevator and turning left, there was a lobby with the nameplate saying ¡°The World Inc.¡± There was a beautiful girl in a professional outfit sitting at the front desk. Behind her was an elegant floor-to-ceiling window. The blue sea of Shencheng Bay entered her eyes, making her feel relaxed and happy. The surroundings were extremely quiet. The ¡°high and mighty¡± office style instantly hit her. Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying both took a deep breath. ¡°Hello, President Cao!¡± The girl at the front desk naturally remembered her boss¡¯ appearance. His characteristic was his size. If it was written wrongly, cross it out. He was tall, handsome, and liked to carry expensive bags. Cao Su nodded with a smile and led Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying into the spacious and transparent office. The office area was slightly empty, and the staff was not full yet. Everyone was busy. They walked straight to the chairman¡¯s office. Naturally, Song Jingying had changed the nameplate of the ¡°CEO¡¯s Office.¡± She knew that Cao Su would not manage the company in detail and was only responsible for the general direction. Song Jingying was working in the secretary¡¯s office when she saw Cao Su come in with two beautiful young girls. One of them had a slender figure and was very beautiful. She was a little surprised. ¡°President Cao.¡± She was still wearing her business attire today. She was wearing a white shirt and a dark blue skirt. The elegant and intellectual young woman¡¯s charm flowed. ¡°Jingying, arrange for someone to help Xiao Wu with the procedures.¡± Cao Su smiled. Arrange for someone to show them around our company. Then, I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°Okay, President Cao.¡± Cao Su brought Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying to his extremely luxurious and spacious office for a while before Song Jingying brought the HR manager over and brought them to a small meeting room. She took the coffee that Cao Su made for her and took a sip. She said in amusement, ¡°President Cao, what¡¯s going on?¡± Cao Su made a gesture and invited Song Jingying to accompany him to the French window to see the sea. He explained, ¡°Jingying, they¡¯ve been helping me buy property these days. You can¡¯t let people work for free. You have to pay them.¡± The matter of investing in real estate would be handed over to Chen Wu. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the trivial matters here.¡± His words were actually meant to explain to her. He had a good relationship with Song Jingying. This beautiful young woman was willing to eat with him and even accompany him to some wine during the meal. Song Jingying stood before his wide desk and nodded, ¡°Oh.¡± She felt a little helpless. President Cao liked beautiful women! Do you need such a beautiful girl to find an assistant to help you buy a house? Shouldn¡¯t ability be prioritized? Cao Su smiled and said, ¡°Jingying, I¡¯ll transfer the legal representative of The World to you! Arrange this.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Song Jingying walked to Cao Su¡¯s side and said, ¡°President Cao, you¡¯re too thorough. Do you trust me that much?¡± A fragrant wind blew, and the dark fragrance was pleasant. It made people feel beautiful! Cao Su smiled slightly and turned to admire Song Jingying¡¯s beautiful face. ¡°If I can¡¯t even trust you, who else can I trust?¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cao Su¡¯s office was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides. The view was wide, and the scenery was excellent. The blue sea and sky entered his eyes. In the afternoon, Song Jingying stood in front of the French window, accompanying her boss to enjoy the scenery. Her big and charming eyes hid a smile as she heard his compliments, and her beautiful eyelashes fluttered gently. She wasn¡¯t an 18-year-old girl. How could she be so easily deceived by President Cao? However, with her quiet personality, she would not ask, ¡°President Cao, are you trying to hit on me?¡± Some things were obvious. In order to prove to her that he was a man of his word, President Cao was willing to walk ten kilometers on a hot afternoon. Song Jingying took a sip of coffee. It was a very authentic Mandanning coffee. She bought the coffee machine and beans for President Cao¡¯s office. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll arrange for the change of legal representative.¡± Cao Su nodded and raised his coffee cup to her. Song Jingying wanted to laugh. She looked at Cao Su with watery eyes and raised her coffee cup in response, ¡°President Cao, coffee is not yellow wine!¡± There were coffee beans on the market that could be ground into coffee that tasted like yellow wine. Cao Su laughed. ¡°Who cares? Drink as much as you feel comfortable!¡± It was just like exercising. He could do whatever he wanted. You still care about the knowledge taught by the female teachers? Song Jingying shook her head helplessly and got down to business, ¡°President Cao, we have to put the renovation downstairs on the agenda. Considering the renovation period and a month¡¯s ventilation, it would take two to three months to put it into use. ¡°I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be enough office space.¡± Cao Su agreed. ¡°Jingying, I¡¯ll handle this!¡± He knew what to do. Song Jingying felt relieved. Her assistant was not omnipotent. She was meticulous, serious, and responsible for recruitment and daily affairs. However, there were some things that she could not grasp. She did not want to discuss the renovation with her newly recruited subordinates. She did not trust them for the time being. If these old foxes were to recommend a renovation company, it was bound to involve an exchange of interests. ¡°President Cao, the administrative, financial, and legal staff should be ready in two weeks.¡± You need to consider hiring a technical team. You just happened to graduate from software engineering, so you¡¯ll be interviewing engineers.¡± She had already entrusted the general manager recruitment to three top headhunting companies in the country. There would definitely be no results in two or three days. She did not report it. Cao Su laughed and said, ¡°Shadow, my skills are probably not good enough for an interview.¡± They were not in the same domain. I didn¡¯t study computer science in the past few years. I studied how to make money. To put it bluntly, he was daydreaming. To put it nicely, he had to bend his body and wait for the right time. However, this matter was easy to resolve. ¡°We need to hire a Chief Technology Officer first. Then, he would build the software development team. I¡¯ll handle this matter.¡± Jianghai University¡¯s computer science department wasn¡¯t the best in the country. However, there were definitely some outstanding people among his classmates and schoolmates. It was not a big problem to develop a live streaming software. Song Jingying heaved a sigh of relief and suggested with a smile, ¡°President Cao, if you want to use The World Inc. to purchase real estate, I suggest you register another company as the operating entity of the live broadcast business. In the future, he would need to raise funds and give shares to the team. It was not appropriate to include his own property in the list. He would have trouble splitting up when the time came. She majored in Chinese as an undergraduate and finance as a postgraduate. Cao Su really hadn¡¯t thought of this. He clapped his hands and said, ¡°Jingying, that¡¯s a good suggestion. Then, I¡¯ll register the new company as a subsidiary of this company. Later on, I will dilute my shares and leave this company.¡± Song Jingying smiled and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the name of the new company?¡± Cao Su put down the coffee cup in his hand and said, ¡°You¡¯re a top student in the Chinese department.¡± He had heard that someone named it Jiu Yi Network Technology Co. Ltd., which had a beautiful meaning. And then he was reported. Song Jingying followed Cao Su back to the large desk and sipped her coffee, ¡°In ancient times, the names of trading companies had fixed characters. For example, in the famous chapter Kong Yiji in our text, the Xianheng Hotel was mentioned. ¡°You take a character and then take a character from your name. Put them together.¡± Cao Su pinched his chin and muttered, ¡°Jingying, isn¡¯t it too old-fashioned?¡± While the two were discussing the company¡¯s new name, the HR manager brought Chen Wu in. She was done with her employment procedures. ¡°Jingying, let¡¯s brainstorm again later. I told Xiao Wu about her work.¡± Jiang Yingying was holding her handbag and document bag. Under the shade of a tree on the first floor of the Chunsun Building, she called her good friend Tan Yulu to complain about her depressed mood! ¡°Xiao Lu, I¡¯ve suffered a great loss. The big boss has taken a fancy to my subordinate, who¡¯s a beautiful girl. It decreased my value in front of him.¡± ¡°Have you finished negotiating that big deal?¡± ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± Jiang Yingying said. ¡°Each person would get 500,000 yuan but only after a few months.¡± ¡°Jiang Yingying, I suspect you¡¯re showing off!¡± the girl on the phone shouted. ¡°Treat me, of course. I want to rip you off! Do you know that I¡¯m working my ass off?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Jiang Yingying giggled. See you at Four Seasons Peak tonight. Xiao Lu, do you know where he took us for lunch? In a high-end clubhouse.¡± ¡°Such a man really attracts people to have a relationship with him. Unfortunately, he took a fancy to my disciple and was worried about her reaction, which means he¡¯s not enthusiastic about me.¡± The girl on the phone smiled. ¡°I saw it. It¡¯s a photo you posted on your WeChat Moments. Yingying, how long has it been since you did it? Why do I feel like it¡¯s because of your psychological block? Did you hook up with him? Giggle.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t. Can¡¯t I like rich men?¡± Jiang Yingying was chatting with her good friend when she heard a WeChat notification. Seeing that it was from Cao Su, she said goodbye to her good friend and hung up. ¡°Yingying, come to my office.¡± ¡°Okay, President Cao!¡± Jiang Yingying returned to the Chunsun Building and used the temporary visitor card of The World Inc. to open the door and take the elevator to the 32nd floor. She walked into Cao Su¡¯s office and saw him sitting behind his desk on the phone. She stood there and waited. Cao Su was on the phone with Bian Lan. It was Wednesday. Cao Su was on the phone with Bian Lan. Today is Wednesday. The little beauty told him that Ren Jiayu, one of the four beauties in Dalan Group¡¯s industrial park, told her she had something to do and wouldn¡¯t attend the evening party. ¡°Xiaolan, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll be there on time. You book the seats first. I¡¯ll transfer some money to you.¡± After hanging up the phone, Cao Su saw Jiang Yingying standing there in an exquisite black dress. Her skin was fair and bright, and her figure was curvy and sexy. The 1.66-meter beauty was as delicate as silk. The feeling of wanting to play shooting games during lunch came back. He gestured for her to sit on the soft chair before the desk. He stood up and walked out to admire her beauty. He gently stroked the hair by her ear and asked, ¡°Yingying, what do you want to drink?¡± Jiang Yingying raised her head and smiled like a flower. ¡°Milk.¡± She sure was sensible.

Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cao Su¡¯s pen fell under his desk, and Jiang Yingying obediently picked it up for him. At this time, Chen Wu called Jiang Yingying and asked, ¡°Sister Ying, are you still in Brother Cao¡¯s office?¡± ¡°Little Wu, you¡¯re calling him Brother Cao now?¡± Jiang Yingying teased. ¡°How did President Cao talk to you?¡± She accompanied Chen Wu to go through the employment procedures. After that, Chen Wu was called to President Cao¡¯s office by his beautiful Assistant Song to arrange work. She went down to call her best friend, Tan Yulu, to complain. Chen Wu was a bit embarrassed. However, when she thought about the misunderstanding she had towards him after lunch, the shock she felt when she first entered his company, and the guidance she had received in the office after she had joined, she was willing to call him ¡°Brother Cao¡± in her heart. She said, ¡°Sister Ying, Brother Cao asked me to help him settle down first. He is still staying in the hotel. Then, I continued to help him buy a house and apply for a loan. He would only move after receiving the commission from Shengshi Residence.¡± ¡°That will have to wait until after the 12th of next month,¡± Jiang Yingying joked. ¡°Xiao Wu, President Cao really cares about you! Are you interested in him?¡± ¡°Sister Ying, don¡¯t joke with me!¡± Chen Wu touched her slightly hot face and quickly changed the topic. ¡°Sister Ying, Brother Cao¡¯s contract and downpayment for the villa have arrived. Do I still have to go back to Shengshi Residence this afternoon?¡± ¡°No need,¡± said Jiang Yingying. ¡°I¡¯ve already informed the finance department. I¡¯ll bring the contract back later. Xiao Wu, you have something to do. I¡¯ll help you look after Shengshi Residence for half a month.¡± ¡°Thanks, Sister Ying!¡± After the conversation ended, Cao Su asked Jiang Yingying what she thought of this business and Chen Wu. He stroked her hair and asked, ¡°Yingying, give half your commission to Xiao Wu. What do you think?¡± Jiang Yingying leaned into Cao Su¡¯s arms and said, ¡°President Cao, from the commission¡¯s perspective, I have indeed suffered a loss. But without Xiao Wu, you wouldn¡¯t have bought a villa worth 120 million yuan; not even if I recommended it to you! ¡°Actually, I also thought about taking this order alone, but didn¡¯t I fail?¡± How could she not be tempted by a commission of nearly a million yuan? Hadn¡¯t she been hinting at President Cao for the past ten days? However, President Cao was very patient. He only interacted with her after he settled his relationship with Chen Wu and took Xiao Fu to his side. Cao Su could not help but laugh. This fair and delicate beauty was authentic. This black dress really matched her fair skin. The afternoon sun shone into the bright office, and he couldn¡¯t help but want to see a more real side of her. ¡°Yingying, let¡¯s go upstairs to the Chusun clubhouse.¡± At around five in the evening, the setting sun began to sway. The night was slowly falling on the streets and alleys. Brother Tiger drove a black BMW X5 and parked it steadily in the second-floor basement parking of the Chunsun Building. He got out of the car and lit a cigarette. He looked at the underground garage of the prestigious commercial building. There were all kinds of luxury cars. Around him was a Mercedes-Benz G500, a Porsche Cayenne, an FJ Cruiser, a Bentley Continental, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, an Audi A8, and a BMW 7-series. There were also people carriers for business purposes, such as Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Alphards, Buick GL8s, etc. There were usually people waiting inside the MPVs and cars driven by ordinary white-collar workers. After a while, Brother Tiger saw an elevator door opening not far away. Cao Su came out with a beautiful girl in a black dress in his arms. The beauty was of average height, had fair skin, and was young and beautiful. She had a kind of delicate and laid-back charm as she leaned against Cao Su, who helped her carry her handbag and document bag. ¡®F*ck! One can¡¯t imagine the happiness of a rich person! I, Brother Tiger, am willing to respectfully address you as the God of War in the office.¡¯ He received a call from Cao Su in the afternoon, asking him to send an inconspicuous car over. He thought about it, and when putting Brother Cao¡¯s wealth into consideration, he chose this 2013 BMW X5 xDrive35i, with a selling price of 1.05 million. ¡°Brother Cao, I¡¯ve sent you the car.¡± Brother Tiger didn¡¯t even glance at the charming, fair girl, Jiang Yingying. He knew this rule. He smiled and greeted her, respectfully handing Cao Su the car keys and purchase documents. Brother Tiger was very busy and attentive during the class reunion last weekend. Cao Su took care of his sales and asked him to send a low-key car over. Later that night, he would go to the Wan Xiang Center at the east gate of the industrial park of Da Lan Corporation to invite Bian Lan and her friends from Qianzhou for dinner. It was not appropriate to drive a Ferrari or Bentley over. Those things were a little too flashy. ¡°Brother Tiger, thank you for your hard work.¡± Brother Tiger quickly said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t a huge deal.¡± Cao Su smiled and patted his shoulder. He carried the lazy and soft Jiang Yingying to the front passenger seat, signed the car purchase documents, swiped his bank card, and drove away. Jiang Yingying and Chen Wu both lived in a farmer¡¯s village on Nanshan Hill, and they arrived very quickly from Houhai. ¡°Brother Cao, this is the rush hour traffic jam. Drop me at this intersection. I will cross the road to go back,¡± Jiang Yingying said gently, her voice a little hoarse. ¡°Alright.¡± Cao Su was a little pressed for time. He gently caressed her hair. This fair and delicate beautiful girl was really nice. ¡°Yingying, send me a WeChat message when you arrive.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yingying, who was wearing an exquisite black dress, smiled. She was as beautiful as a flower after the rain. She kissed Cao Su¡¯s face and said, ¡°Brother Cao, goodbye.¡± Cao Su could feel her longing and affection. He smiled and patted his chest, saying gently, ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll invite you to dinner in two days.¡± He then left Jiang Yingying by the roadside and drove to Da Lan¡¯s industrial park. ¡°Ah!¡± Jiang Yingying watched as Cao Su¡¯s black BMW merged into the traffic and disappeared. She couldn¡¯t help but cover her face. She was done for. She might have fallen for him. In fact, her relationship with Brother Cao had been that of a customer and a salesperson from the beginning. On the other hand, Brother Cao was generous, gentlemanly, and not greasy. She really did not mind having negative contact with him. For a girl like her, who had begun work in her third year of university and attended a second-tier college, she understood the cruelty of society very early on. Therefore, she would tell her best friend, Tan Yulu, that she liked rich men. Brother Cao was generous to her, his assets far exceeded her expectations, and he had a successful career. His company was in the Chunsun Building. Very good, and very powerful. It seemed reasonable for her to fall for him! The only flaw was: Brother Cao, how many good ¡°lil¡¯ sisters¡± did you have? Jiang Yingying walked slowly toward the village. She usually had dinner in a small shop in the village. She called her good friend Tan Yulu. As soon as the call went through, Tan Yulu was about to explode. ¡°Jiang Yingying, I¡¯m going to suck you dry. You asked me out for lunch in the afternoon, and I¡¯m already at Four Seasons Peak.¡± ¡°Xiao Lu, I really can¡¯t make it!¡± Jiang Yingying smiled apologetically. ¡°I have trouble walking now. He almost killed me in the afternoon. I¡¯m dead.¡± ¡°What?¡± Tan Yulu extracted a large amount of information at once and said gossipily, ¡°Yingying, what¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Yingying felt shy and sweet when she recalled the scene. She smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the situation. How about me hooking you up with a deal? His company has rented a nearly 4,000-square-meter office that needs to be renovated¡­ at Chunsun Building! Are you interested?¡± ¡°Of course! Sister Ying, you are awesome! Although our design studio is large, I¡¯m just a newbie, though!¡± ¡°Stop it, stop it,¡± Jiang Yingying said. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the address and contact number later. Hurry up and investigate. Remember to bring along your company¡¯s awesome person. His assistant is not someone easy to talk to. Don¡¯t blame me if you lose the deal.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Yingying, let¡¯s not talk about what¡¯s good for you. I¡¯ll give you some points according to the rules!¡± Jiang Yingying hung up. The summer night slowly fell, and Shencheng¡¯s streets lit up with bright lights.

Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was past six in the evening in Shencheng, and some of the main roads began to get congested. Although Cao Su drove out before he got off work, he was still stuck halfway. He called Bian Lan from his hometown in Qianzhou and asked them to eat first. He was still stuck in traffic. As he sat in the black BMW BMW, Cao Su hung up the phone and was not in a hurry. In the afternoon, he played an online game with Jiang Yingying for two hours. It was a mobile game based on the Three Kingdoms. Imitating the most classic LOL gameplay. The Silver Spear he chose, Zhao Zilong, had a lot of health and mana, and he was able to defeat the enemy. The emotions that had been accumulated for the past few days were released, and his heart was relaxed and comfortable. The high-rise buildings on both sides of the main road were brightly lit, bringing with them a prosperous image. The evening breeze blew through the green trees, and the crowd at the subway entrance was like a massive tide. His life this week was simple and regular. Every day, he would go to the real estate center to transfer ownership. In his free time, he would exercise and watch live broadcasts on his phone. After a few days of relaxing ¡®work,¡¯ he would interact with beautiful women after resting. Conquering a beauty was very satisfying. He had Lu Zi, a colleague from the previous team, Su Shijia, the prettiest girl in the university, and Jiang Yingying, the villa salesperson. In times of peace, a man¡¯s sense of conquest was in his career and beauty. There were also fish in his pond: His beautiful young assistant Song Jingying; Chen Wu, a freshman from a famous university; Xia Ya, a suite butler from a five-star hotel; He Xueqian, a long-legged car model from Shencheng University, and Jiang Ran, a beautiful former colleague from Sichuan who was a junior in Jiangnan University. These beautiful flowers were all waiting for him to pick them. It was cutting the queue. After doing this for too long, the player would naturally reach his peak. The life of a tycoon was so monotonous and boring! However, the old veterans were shaking their heads at this cycle! Overdoing it would always make the threshold higher. He shuddered a few times and felt sick of things. He still had to add some condiments to his life. How could he describe his current situation? His career was about to be developed but not quite, and his reputation was about to rise, but he wasn¡¯t nearly there. There was no media to disturb him, and no relatives or friends came to ask him for help in his daily life. It was a little like ¡°building high walls, accumulating food, and slowly becoming kings.¡± Therefore, he had to make use of his free time to upgrade his system as soon as possible! There would be a time when the one billion yuan from the beginning would be spent, right? He had to get more money from the system! It was unrealistic to rely on the business to earn money for the time being! It was the era of the mobile internet and it was getting harder and harder to make money in the early stages. It was unlike in the past, when he could make ringtones, bidding rankings, Taobao, and Alipay. ¡°System.¡± Cao Su called out the system in his mind. [System¡¯s current level: Level 2.] [Main Mission 2: Accumulate 2000 kilometers.] [Note 1: You have the ¡°Heartbeat Generates Power¡± buff. Each heartbeat gives 0.1 yuan. Note: This buff can be increased as the system level increases.] [Random Mission: Gym] [Do the second set of National Broadcast Gymnastics for Middle School Students, ¡°The Era Calls.¡± You will receive the system reward: Moulding.] [Random Mission: Taichi.] [If you skillfully perform a set of standard Taichi movements, you will receive the system reward: Taichi (Master).] [System store.] [Items available for purchase: Cashew nuts.] [Price: 300,000. It can enhance the waist and kidney function of the user by 200%.] The first Random Quest [Gym] was triggered when he had lunch with Chen Wu and Jiang Yingying at the Chusun Club. Beautiful women, beautiful scenery, and delicious food made one happy! The second Random Mission,[Taiji Fist], was triggered when he talked to Jiang Yingying in the office in the afternoon. Outside his office was Song Jingying¡¯s office, and she could come in at any time. If she came in and saw him¡­*Cough cough* Everyone knew why the random mission was triggered. He had to do these two Random Missions well. Normally, the Random Missions given to him by the system were not difficult to complete. However, it could be predicted that the random missions of the Level 2 system would still be slightly more difficult than those of the Level 1 system. Shouldn¡¯t the estimated movements be standard? He really had to find the video of ¡®The Times are Calling¡¯ and take a good look at it. Unlike Level 1, where he could do 20 push-ups after a nap, the new item in the system store was a reward for leveling up. The effect was indeed potent. What was the slogan for Huiren Kidney Treasure again? Looking at [Main Mission 2], he had now ¡°repaired¡± the system, and his physique had improved. It was not a problem for him to ride a bicycle. He realized that the rewards the system gave were aimed at repairing his bodily functions. This was good! The body was the capital of the revolution. He just didn¡¯t know when the System was going to enchant his ¡°weapon.¡± *Cough cough* [Main Mission 2] The distance required was really great! Fortunately, it was to be completed by ¡°accumulation.¡± He had a vague impression that the better the bicycle, the more kilometers it could cover per hour. Just as Cao Su was about to take out his phone to check the Internet, he finally passed through the most congested area after nearly an hour of traffic jam. The road to the industrial park of Da Lan Corporation was smooth. Outside the east gate of Da Lan¡¯s industrial park was a seven-story central business district. Of course, other commercial apartments, hotels, and office buildings were also around. The branches of all the main banks were basically located in this area. Bian Lan and her friends were having dinner at the seafood buffet restaurant Le Chef on the fourth floor. She invited all her good friends from the company and a few family members brought by her friends on the pretext that it was her birthday. There were a total of twelve people. It was evident that Bian Lan had dressed up meticulously. She was wearing a light pink short-sleeved shirt, and the skin on her arms was as fair as snow. She was slender and wore a high-waisted dress. Even though she was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, she still looked slim and elegant. The seventeen-year-old girl still had some baby fat on her face, filled with the feeling of colloid. However, she had already opened her mouth. Even though she was not as beautiful as Ren Jiayu, she was still a pretty little beauty. 90+. At this moment, the little beauty¡¯s pure and fair face was filled with worry as she looked at her phone from time to time. It made the little boys with family members itch and want to comfort her. Among the group of girls, she was the most beautiful. Her good friend whispered in her ear, ¡°Xiaolan, did Brother Cao stand you up? Actually, he doesn¡¯t treat you as a fellow countryman. If you ask me, this is all fake. He lied to his fellow countryman, and his eyes were filled with deceit.¡± ¡°We should eat and sing later. Don¡¯t worry about him.¡± ¡°Tong Tong, he transferred 10,000 yuan to me.¡± Bian Lan widened her eyes. He was the one who treated us to the buffet. Otherwise, how could I have the money to invite you to eat here? It costs 500 yuan per person!¡± Tong Tong and Bian Lan were about the same age. Both of them were employees of Da Lan¡¯s production line Corporation, but because of their stunningly good looks, their work was easier. She opened her mouth in surprise. How much did he earn in a month? ¡°Then he¡¯s really stuck in traffic!¡± This time, it was Bian Lan who shook her head gently and said in a low mood, ¡°He should treat me as a fellow villager. However, I¡¯m afraid that my fellow countryman doesn¡¯t have much sincerity in his eyes! He might be coming over from another dinner.¡± She didn¡¯t invite Ren Jiayu, whom Brother Cao wanted to see, so it was normal that he didn¡¯t plan to come over to have dinner with these little girls. Brother Cao already had a good character, considering he bought them the meal. Tong Tong also sighed along with her friend. She hugged her friend¡¯s shoulder and comforted her silently. This was the most reasonable speculation. Therefore, why should they want to make friends with the rich? It was better to earn an honest wage. It wasn¡¯t easy to change fate!
