After finishing his meal, Zhang Wei politely excused himself and made his way to his room.
"Good night, Father," he bid with a smile as his father nodded in response.
As he approached his door, he spotted a towering bald man in a suit standing outside. This was Munki, Zhang Wei's personal bodyguard and driver. Despite the Zhang household having an entire security team, Zhang Wei was the only one with Munki as his protector.
Remembering from his past life, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel suspicious of Munki. Perhaps he was his father's spy or even planted by his stepmother. Despite these doubts, he maintained a cordial smile and made his way to his room.
"Good to see you, sir."
Munki greeted him, holding open the door. Zhang Wei beckoned him inside and Munki stood at attention.
Since Zhang Wei was new to the household and had nobody else to rely on, he decided to take advantage of his situation and learn from his enemy. "Munki, do you know of any nearby Buddha statues?" he asked, noting that the system required him to clean one daily.
Munki was confused by Zhang Wei's request. "Does Young Master want to become a monk?" he wondered aloud.
"We don't have any statues in the mansion, but there is a temple on the outskirts of the city."
Zhang Wei was relieved to hear that there was a statue nearby.
"Great, tomorrow prepare a car for me at 6 AM sharp. We'll be going to the temple. And don't forget to bring a bucket and cleaning cloth."
Munki didn't question Zhang Wei's unusual request and obediently replied, "Understood, Young Master."
Satisfied that his statue-cleaning duties were sorted, Zhang Wei shifted his attention to his physical fitness. In his past life, he had struggled with obesity and knew he needed to start exercising. He noticed Munki's impressive muscles and asked.
"Do you work out often?"
Munki blushed slightly at the compliment.
"Yes, Young Master. I work out every day."
Zhang Wei grinned. "Excellent. From tomorrow, I will be working out with you. I have decided to lose some weight."
Munki couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Really?!" he exclaimed, thrilled at the prospect of training Zhang Wei.
"Young master always feared working out due to his trauma, but he is taking a step to overcome it. I have to prepare him properly," Munki thought to himself, feeling genuinely happy. He promised to prepare everything for Zhang Wei and bid him goodnight before exiting the room.
"Understood, Young Master. Good night. I will prepare everything for you," Munki bowed respectfully and left the room.
Zhang Wei felt satisfied with his productive day and settled into bed, ready for a good night's sleep. "Finally, I've had the most tiring day. Let's sleep," he muttered as he drifted off into a deep slumber.
