Tianyuan Wang Real Estate Company.
The handsome and dapper Wang Kun, just arrived at the general manager's office and before his seat even got warm, received bad news.
Tang Xiao fell in love!!
How... How could this be?
Wang Kun's brow furrowed, his handsome, chiseled face instantly twisted.
"No way, how could this happen? Just the night before last, my dad was still having dinner with Uncle Tang, and he heard with his own ears Uncle Tang complaining about his daughter's reluctance to date; it was a real headache for the old couple, so how could she be suddenly in love today?"
Wang Kun asked anxiously, squirming in his seat as he awaited Xie Wanjun's reply after sending the message.
Xie Wanjun replied quickly, "No concrete evidence for now, but I and the other secretaries saw her looking particularly happy today, laughing and chatting away. Someone even heard her mention the word 'marriage', I think it's almost certain she's in love!"
After hearing the reply, Wang Kun's brows tightened even more.
Looking very happy? Just heard it?
"But who on earth was she talking to that led to the mention of 'marriage'?" Wang Kun asked urgently again.
Xie Wanjun replied, "We probably won't know unless we hack into her phone... Someone's coming, I've got to stop chatting now!"
Wang Kun, in his urgency, slammed his fist on the desk with a bang.
"Damn it!!!"
Wang Kun gritted his teeth but immediately sent several red packets to Xie Wanjun.
This was an agreement they had from before.
Every time she provided information about Tang Xiao's whereabouts, feelings, and such, she would be rewarded with red packets.
Xie Wanjun didn't immediately accept them; it seemed she indeed had someone come up unexpectedly.
Setting down his phone, Wang Kun stroked his chin, feeling more and more that he couldn't take this matter lightly.
Who is Tang Xiao?
Known as the icy, iron-hearted, domineering President!
With whom could she be chatting and laughing? And even talking about marriage?
Could it be her comrade-in-arms? A classmate? Or perhaps a female client?
Wang Kun's thoughts were in turmoil, and he no longer wanted to attend the creative design meeting for the new property; all he could think about was Tang Xiao.
Grabbing his Porsche keys, Wang Kun had his secretary order a bouquet of roses and asked the vice president to chair the meeting in his stead, then he hurried off.
...
The shameless Cao Bin, cheerfully carrying a box of fruit, walked straight from the elevator to the president's secretarial area.
Xie Wanjun quickly put away her phone and, feigning composure, put on an indifferent face.
"What are you doing here during working hours?" she asked.
Cao Bin laughed and said, "I'm here to report this month's marketing department work to President Tang and, by the way... here, I brought you some fresh fruit!"
Xie Wanjun glanced at it, noted the expensive imported fruits, and reached out to take them.
"Not bad at all! You're quite considerate! However, President Tang is in a meeting and won't be free until after eleven!"
"Ah, look at my pig's brain, just thinking about bringing fruit; I should have called ahead to inquire, how silly of me!"
Cao Bin self-deprecatingly scolded himself, and seeing Xie Wanjun smile, his heart blossomed.
"There are several blockbusters coming out recently, how about we watch one tonight?" Cao Bin asked with a beaming smile.
Xie Wanjun snorted, "You think bringing a box of fruit is enough to ask me out to a movie? That's hardly any sincerity at all!"
Cao Bin laughed, "The fruit is just for breakfast, aren't we going to have dinner when we go to the movies tonight? How about some coffee and shopping before and after the movie? Sounds great, doesn't it?"
"Sure!" Xie Wanjun said, carrying the fruit into the office. "Come on, girls, stop gossiping about President Tang's love life and hurry up and eat some fruit!"
President Tang in love?
Cao Bin immediately started to dig for details.
...
Downstairs in the marketing department.
Wu Jie had just finished sending a proposal to a client and hadn't had a chance to rest when a message popped up on his system.
Ding!
[Host's current status read successful, triggering the second task: earn a million energy points within one month]
[Task reward: One million bonus, bodily awakening, three lottery draws]
[Failure Penalty: Clear the host's energy point balance]
Wu Jie was a bit astonished.
If he had a month to earn a million yuan in cash, it would nearly be impossible to accomplish.
But energy points... that had a much higher chance of success!
After all, last night on the live streaming platform, I pulled in quite a bit of cash after a few rounds of attracting hatred.
Swapping out some anchors, looking for various platforms… there shouldn't be a problem.
So Wu Jie didn't hesitate to accept the task and immediately got to work.
No matter the streaming app, as long as the streamer was popular and had lots of fans, he'd dive in and spit a few snide remarks.
There weren't many viewers on workdays during the day, but those internet celebrities still had plenty of fans watching their live streams.
Persistence pays off!
Wu Jie was busy until nearly the end of the workday, got muted in dozens of live rooms, and had several accounts temporarily suspended due to excessive complaints.
As for the gains…
Do I even need to say it? Made several thousand energy points.
System energy points could be directly exchanged for money at a one-to-one ratio, so in just half a day, he earned several thousand.
Right after getting off work, Wu Jie let the system cash out ten thousand energy points.
In less than ten seconds, his phone pinged with a notification.
"Your account ending in 9537 has received a network transfer deposit of 10,000.00 yuan at 12:01 PM, with an available balance of 10,572.32 yuan..."
Holy cow!
It really works!!
Wu Jie was instantly thrilled and quickly looked around him.
No one noticed!
His colleagues formed groups and chatted merrily on their way to the company restaurant on the eighth floor as soon as they were off work.
"Integrity, let's go eat!" Sun Liang, sitting next to him, knocked on the partition, "Look at that smug smile. Who messaged you? Is it your landlord demanding the rent, or a text from the mobile company saying your phone's overdue?"
Wu Jie put away his phone and stood up with a snort, "Don't look down on people, can't a brother chat with a beauty?"
Sun Liang sneered and shook his head, "Chat with you? If it's not someone selling tea leaves, it's a scammer inviting you to a pricey feast!"
Just as he arrived at the restaurant, Wu Jie's phone rang.
Expecting a message from Tang Xiao or Tang Xin, he was surprised to see it was from a female user with a pretty avatar who had added him using the nearby search feature on the messenger app.
"What did I tell you? That type… no need to accept!" Sun Liang advised.
Wu Jie scoffed and shook his head, immediately accepting the request.
"Hello, brother, need any services?"
Sun Liang handed Wu Jie a tray and glanced at the message, bursting into laughter, "I knew it, not a good person at all. The one sending messages might just be a foot-scratching hulk!"
Wu Jie quickly replied with one hand, "Need it, can it be done in the car?"
"Of course, but you'll need to pay for the taxi fare!"
Wu Jie, "Then come by the 250 bus, I'll wait for you!"
When he saw the reply "Scram!" Sun Liang could no longer hold back his laughter, bursting out loud.
His laughter was hearty and incredibly loud!
In an instant.
In the vast company restaurant, everyone's gaze turned in unison.
"Look! The guy with the phone, that's the one who got hit by President Tang yesterday."
"He didn't get hit hard enough! He seems fine. If it were me driving, it would be at least half a year in the hospital!"
"That guy really turned bad luck into good fortune! I heard President Tang personally called him up to show concern, and might have even given him money!"
"Damn! Why don't I ever get that kind of luck?"
"Go wait in the underground parking lot! When you see President Tang's car coming, just dart out!"
"Playing hit-and-run with President Tang? That's seeking death!"
...
Amid the envious, jealous, and resentful glances of many, Wu Jie took his meal and found a place to sit, hardly able to keep from chuckling as he ate.
Couldn't help it!
The system kept bringing good news!
So many people hated him, energy points streamed in non-stop, and he made over a thousand in a matter of minutes, how could he not be happy?
But his joy didn't last long before the system stopped delivering good news, and the restaurant suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's gaze shifted again, this time towards the entrance.
As Wu Jie turned his head to look, he spotted the domineering CEO Tang Xiao entering, accompanied by her beautiful secretaries…
