“Who sent the flowers?” Chen Yan asked.
“No idea. These flowers are really expensive,” the delivery man said while shaking his head.
“Alright, I’ll deliver them.”
Chen Yan took the flowers, already calculating something in her mind.
By instinct, she felt CEO Su was probably in love, because she often stared at her phone and smiled lately. Maybe she was looking at chat records or photos.
These flowers were probably from that mysterious man.
She straightened herself up and knocked on the office door.
“Come in.”
Su Qingcheng’s voice sounded somewhat irritated.
Chen Yan carried the flowers inside, only to be scolded immediately by Su Qingcheng.
“Why did you bring flowers in here?”
“CEO Su, a man sent these for you. He said he hoped you wouldn’t stay angry.”
Very quickly, Chen Yan saw Su Qingcheng’s stunning face go from gloomy to bright. Pretending to stay calm, she said, “Leave them there.”
Chen Yan instantly understood. No matter how lofty and untouchable CEO Su appeared, she was still a woman. Of course she would be happy receiving a gift from someone she liked.
After setting the flowers down, Chen Yan left.
Su Qingcheng looked at the flowers and smiled. Her mood immediately improved.
“Did Xu Le send these? So he really does care about me.”
She had originally planned to open WeChat and message Xu Le, but then she noticed a small card attached to the bouquet.
It was filled with greasy love lines, even saying that the two of them would become an unbeatable power couple after getting together.
“Damn it.”
Su Qingcheng’s expression instantly darkened. Disgusted, she threw the flowers away. She had already guessed who sent them.
She immediately messaged Chen Yan to come back in.
“Step on these flowers a few times and throw them into the trash. If anyone sends me flowers again, tell him to get lost. Understood?”
Su Qingcheng spoke with obvious disgust and even went to wash her hands afterward.
Chen Yan became nervous. Hadn’t CEO Su seemed happy just moments ago?
“Qingcheng, I sent those flowers. I heard you were in a bad mood today.”
Li Hao walked in wearing a suit, looking refined and dignified. When he saw the flowers on the floor, he froze.
“You still dare to come here? Was that kick last time not in the right place?” Su Qingcheng said coldly.
Li Hao’s legs tightened in fear. He did not dare say another word and ran away immediately.
He was already considering giving up. What kind of godlike person could possibly tame a woman like Su Qingcheng?
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Chen Mo waiting eagerly for credit.
“Manager Li, was CEO Su very happy?”
Li Hao instantly vented his anger on Chen Mo, turning him into a laughingstock in front of many employees.
…
Xu Le also saw everything. When Chen Yan returned, he asked her what had happened.
“What else could it be? CEO Su refused Manager Li’s gift, and I almost got dragged into it too. Didn’t CEO Su’s expression improve a lot when she first saw those flowers?” Chen Yan asked in confusion.
A gift?
Xu Le rubbed his chin. Could this be another chance to farm rewards?
Maybe next time he could use this excuse himself.
Thinking about it, after farming another two or three rewards, the favorability would probably reach 60.
And 60 might be some kind of important threshold.
The favorability increased by the system was clearly not ordinary favorability. He seriously suspected that if Su Qingcheng liked him too much, she might directly throw herself at him.
He needed to be careful.
If she became obsessed with him, then with how jealous she already was, how would he continue farming rewards from other bad women?
…
Looking at the money sitting in his account, Xu Le happily got off work and headed home.
The rewards were getting larger and larger. Sometimes a single mission gave him 10,000 yuan!
He was already earning hundreds of thousands a month.
Just then, his phone buzzed with a text notification.
“Xu Le, this is Liu Ruyan. Can we meet?”
There was even a location attached.
Xu Le glanced at it and immediately shut off his phone expressionlessly.
He had already broken up with this ex-girlfriend many years ago. Although there had been some lingering regrets between them, he did not want to see her again.
They had dated after graduating from high school. She could be considered half a classmate of his.
But shortly after entering university, they broke up, leaving him somewhat disappointed in love.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from his old classmate, He Fang.
After hesitating briefly, he answered.
“Brother Xu, come out for a drink. Let’s reminisce about our youthful days. And if some beautiful girls come flirt with us, that’d be even better.”
Xu Le was sure He Fang had drunk too much. Beautiful girls flirting with them? What kind of fantasy was that?
Still, he and He Fang had always been close and kept in touch regularly. Besides, tomorrow was the weekend, so coming home late was not a problem.
By the time he arrived at the barbecue restaurant, He Fang was already waving at him.
“Brother Xu, over here!”
“You brat, drinking this much? Did you get dumped?” Xu Le glanced at him and sat down.
“Not exactly dumped. I was trying to pursue a goddess. I bought her plenty of gifts, but got absolutely nowhere,” He Fang sighed.
“You can’t win women over just by buying gifts. If it were really that simple, there wouldn’t be so many simps in the world,” Xu Le said while looking at him. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping(.)com.
No matter what, He Fang was still a mid-level executive at a company. How could he not understand something this basic?
“I refuse to believe there isn’t a single good woman out there,” He Fang said while lightly slapping the table.
“Brother Xu, have you ever met one? The kind who genuinely treats you well?” he asked curiously.
“No. Stop dreaming about impossible things.”
Buzz buzz.
“Xu Le, you’re not home. Great. I’ve taken over the house, so come back tomorrow instead!”
Xu Yi sent him a WeChat message, sounding rather pleased with herself.
This little sister of his… was she having some kind of gathering at home with her girlfriends?
Forget it. He would just go back later.
…
Late at night, Xu Le took a taxi home. Feeling drowsy, he almost fell asleep.
Thankfully, he had not drunk too much.
After reaching the apartment building he rented in, Xu Le pressed the elevator button and yawned before heading toward his home.
After unlocking the door, he turned on his phone flashlight and looked around. No one seemed to be in the living room. His younger sister’s room was shut, and he could even hear her faint snoring.
“I’ll lie down for a bit and sober up first.”
Still half-asleep, Xu Le walked over to the sofa and noticed a blanket there. He pulled it over himself and laid down.
Then he touched something soft.
Holy crap.
There was a woman here!
He jumped up instantly, a chill running down his spine. Why was there a woman in this house?
Had he gone to the wrong apartment? Impossible.
“Who is it?”
The voice sounded soft and sleepy, like cotton soaked in warm water.
Xu Le turned on the light and discovered it was Lin Xixi. His brain froze for a moment.
Her eyes were still misty with sleep, carrying a trace of confusion.
A few loose strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, making her already fair face look even softer with a faint blush.
“Huh? Why are you here? Don’t tell me you’ve been stalking me. That’s so creepy.”
As if suddenly realizing something, her back stiffened and she tightly crossed her arms over her chest.
Like a startled little deer.
Biting her lip, she vaguely felt that someone had touched her earlier.
“It’s a misunderstanding. Why would I stalk you?” Xu Le hurriedly waved his hands.
“Hmph. I didn’t expect you to be a bad person, just like those creepy stalkers in manga!”
Lin Xixi immediately looked at Xu Le with disgust in her eyes.
