Chapter 185 Questioning the Prime Minister, Understanding the Prime Minister, Envy the Prime Minister
Yang Muye gestured for Chen Xi to hold the phone closer to him.

"I am coming over now."

After the call ended, Chen Xi put down her phone and then told Yang Muyi that the car ahead was parked and she wanted to get out.

"What, my plan just now didn't convince you?" Yang Muye asked, puzzled.

"I'll say it again: I'm not as rich and free as you. I'm unemployed now, and more important than getting revenge on that bastard Chen Wei is finding a job to support myself."

Chen Xi explained rationally.

As the car continued driving, Yang Muyi, with his hand on the steering wheel, said, "How about I introduce you to a job?"

"I'm a designer, but I don't know anything else besides interior design."

"I have one house that needs renovation, and another courtyard house that needs remodeling—"

Before Yang Muye could finish speaking, Chen Xi turned to look at him:
"You don't actually think that such a small job is enough to support a designer, do you?"

"I plan to turn my courtyard house into a pilot project for a popular homestay. If it is successful, I will promote it nationwide. The next stop will be my hometown, Dali."

As Yang Muye drove, he said, "If you think this isn't enough, I have two other popular milk tea shop brands. I'm going to take you to the first one now. It opens on the 7th of this month."

“As long as we can make it work, I’m confident we can secure Series A funding and expand these two milk tea brands to the entire Yanjing city area, with at least fifty stores. If you handle all the design, your income should exceed what you’d earn working for a company, right?”

Income is one aspect, and another is that you won't face workplace harassment.

Female designers and salespeople are naturally at a disadvantage in this regard, and clients like Yang Muyi are extremely rare.

Chen Xi was indeed tempted.

But the attitude remains cautious.

How can I be sure you're not just making empty promises?

Yang Muye shrugged and said bluntly:
"To be precise, I'm just giving you empty promises, because no business is 100% guaranteed to succeed. If you choose to trust me now, it's like making an angel investment."

"The key is that even if my promises fail, you will only lose a month or so. To be frank, that month might not even be enough time for you to find a satisfactory job."

Chen Xi was completely convinced.

Half an hour later, Yang Muye brought Chen Xi to the pedestrian street in front of Yanjingmao.

Even from a distance, you can see the eye-catching signs of Cainiao Station and Bawangchaji.

There are six shops, one above the other.

The shop at the top of the first floor serves as the operating room for BaWangChaJi, with a long bar counter along the wall.

The three shops on the second floor have been combined to serve as a seating area for the milk tea shop, and also function as a board game area for Werewolf.

The remaining two shops on the first floor were combined to open a Cainiao Post Station.

Yang Guang and a fat man stood at the entrance of the pedestrian street. When they saw Yang Muye and Chen Xi, they took the initiative to come up to them.

Yang Guang was still wearing his work clothes, but he wasn't covered in dust like he was yesterday.

Upon meeting, Yang Muye introduced the two parties:

"This is Yang Guang, the person in charge of renovating my shop. He owns a small renovation company."

"This is Chen Xi, a designer from Winner Design & Decoration Company. She just resigned."

Yang Guang immediately extended his hand to Chen Xi.

"Nice to meet you."

Chen Xi initially thought Yang Guang was just a construction foreman, and the handshake was just a perfunctory gesture.

After following Yang Muyi through the entire renovation of the two shops, checking all the lighting, plumbing, electrical work, and interior decoration, they realized that Yang Guang and his team had done a pretty good job.

From a designer's perspective, Chen Xi couldn't find any major flaws.

It was only then that Chen Xi realized that Yang Muye's trust in Yang Guang was not without reason.

After the inspection was completed, Yang Muyi immediately gave Yang Guang the keys to the duplex apartment and the courtyard house in Jiahao New City.

At the same time, he also told Yang Guang about asking Chen Xi to do the design.

Yang Guang also noticed that Chen Xi and Yang Muye had a special relationship, and immediately stated, "I will definitely cooperate with Designer Chen and strive to achieve 100% of the effect of her design."

Chen Xi added that when she does designs, she listens carefully to the opinions of the workers and does not act arbitrarily.

Seeing that the two got along fairly well, Yang Muye joked:
"Why don't you two team up? One of you can be in charge of the design, and the other can be in charge of the construction."

Neither Yang Guang nor Chen Xi immediately expressed their opinions this time.

It's no use just to say you get along; you have to see if you can actually get along in the workplace.

Yang Guang asked Chen Xi when they would have time to go house hunting and take measurements together.

Chen Xi glanced at Yang Muye:

"Today won't work, how about tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Guang then looked at Yang Muye as well:

"Mr. Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

After Yang Guang left, Yang Muye and Chen Xi returned to the car together.

"Didn't you want to take pictures? Take me home first, I'll go change my clothes," Chen Xi said while fastening her seatbelt.

"Do you know what clothes to wear?"

Chen Xi raised her head in annoyance, looking at Yang Muye who was pretending to be stupid.

"I don't know what to wear, but I know what you men like: stockings, high heels, low-cut tops, tight miniskirts, right?"

Yang Muye looked at Chen Xi with some surprise.

"I didn't realize you were so good at this?"

Chen Xi smiled politely at Yang Muye:

"Don't worry, I just said none of those things exist, don't even think about them!"

Although he was a little disappointed, Yang Muye generously said it was okay and that everyday wear would be fine.

Anyway, having Chen Xi's face is enough.

Around 3 p.m., Yang Muye returned to his dormitory with his camera.

As soon as he entered, Cheng Feng, who was sitting in front of the computer, turned around and asked:

"Is it done so quickly?"

Yang Muye put the camera on the table and replied while changing his shoes:
"How long will it take to take just a few photos?"

"A few pictures aren't enough. Do you know how many views that clarification post I made for you has? It's almost 800,000, and there are already more than 3,000 comments. The atmosphere has been built up to this point. A few pictures aren't enough to make it more interesting."

Before Cheng Feng could finish speaking, Yang Muyi had already taken the memory card out of the camera and tossed it over.

"You choose one, ten should be enough."

As Cheng Feng inserted the card, he asked curiously:

"Teach me, how did you convince that female designer to cooperate with you for a photoshoot?"

Yang Muye replied to Cheng Feng with eight words:

“It is known with emotion, and moved with reason.”

Cheng Feng scoffed and turned his head back to the computer screen.

Open the memory card in "My Computer".

Upon seeing the first photo, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Tsk!"

In the photo, Chen Xi is wearing a black dress, bright red lips, wavy hair, and a pair of gold earrings.

He leaned lazily against the passenger seat of the G-Class, his legs stretched out on the center console.

She revealed a section of fair and smooth calf and delicate jade feet adorned with nail polish, wearing strappy high heels.

"A royal flush right off the bat!" Cheng Feng stared at the photo for over a minute before reluctantly switching to the next one.

The second photo is a half-body shot of Chen Xi lying on the steering wheel. It's not as visually striking as the first photo, but it clearly shows her almost flawless face up close.

The kind of thing that gets better the more you look at it.

Cheng Feng had moved his mouse over the "Next Page" button, but he hesitated to click it.

The third photo is another full-body shot.

Chen Xi stood in front of the G-Class, headlights on both sides, like a beast lurking in the darkness, the camera tension was at its peak.

This could be used as an advertisement for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng couldn't help but turn around and ask Yang Muyi how he came up with these posed photos.

This is on a whole different level from those "wife as car model" photos on the Autohome forum.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dimensional reduction attack.

Yang Muye didn't explain much, but simply asked Cheng Feng to pick out ten photos and process them with Photoshop before sending them out.

Cheng Feng continued reading.

The fourth photo shows Chen Xi lying on the hood of the car.

The fifth photo shows Chen Xi sitting in the open trunk.

……

There were more than twenty photos in total, and Cheng Feng was overwhelmed with choices, feeling that every one was suitable.

He went through all the photos again and finally selected fifteen to drag to his computer desktop.

It was only at this moment that Cheng Feng noticed a detail he had not paid attention to before.

"Were these photos taken in the underground parking garage of Jiahao New City?"

"Did you just find out?"

Yang Muyi felt that Cheng Feng's eyes really could be donated.

Cheng Feng was too embarrassed to admit that he had been so focused on looking at the beautiful women that he hadn't paid attention to such details.
However, it must be admitted that Yang Muyi's move was truly ruthless.

At the spot where Chen Wei revealed he was blocked at the car door, he took this set of photos in the car with what he called his "wife".

That's definitely rubbing salt into the wound.

It is not only extremely harmful, but also highly insulting.

Even Cheng Feng wanted to send Chen Wei a song called "Hulunbuir Grassland," which shows how "green" Chen Wei's head was.

Cheng Feng vacated the computer for Yang Muyi and did some post-processing on the selected photos.

Following Yang Muyi's lead, I logged into Autohome and registered a new account.

Username: Scumbag Driving a G-Wagon
Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng joked that it would be more appropriate to call Cao Cao driving a G-Wagon.

Yang Muye ignored Cheng Feng and opened the forum to start editing the post.

The title itself is quite interesting.

If you were young and successful, driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, there would be no arguments in your love life!

After selecting the #WifeAsCarModel# section for submission, Yang Muye began typing the main text:
Hello everyone, I'm the G-Class owner who was the subject of much discussion on the forum yesterday.

You may not know me, but you must have seen the photos of my car 'occupying' three parking spaces.

My friend explained the incident of blocking the gate yesterday afternoon in a post, so I won't say much more, here are the pictures.

The fifteen processed photos were uploaded all at once.

After uploading the photo, a separator line was added below.

Then Yang Muye added a paragraph in Chen Xi's voice:

Hello everyone, I'm the woman in the photo, and I'm a house designer.

First of all, I want to clarify that I am just a regular friend of the G-Class owner, and before today, we didn't even know each other.

The reason I agreed to take these photos is probably known to everyone: yesterday, a user with the forum ID "Mr. Mighty" posted photos of me without my consent, infringing on my portrait rights.

Out of professional ethics, I cannot reveal his real name online, but he must delete the post and apologize to me within 24 hours, otherwise I will report the case to the police.

The article also included a picture of a designer's qualification certificate with the name blurred.

After checking and finding no errors, Yang Muyi clicked the mouse and posted the thread.

After getting up to make way for his seat, Cheng Feng returned to his computer, logged into his account, and posted a message.

To attract traffic, the headline is designed to be very catchy.

"It's green! Mr. Muscle has turned green! The G-Class owner speaks out, and here's the follow-up everyone's been waiting for!"

The main text is just one line—

You took my parking spot, so I'll steal your wife. This move is truly gratifying!
The link to Yang Muye's post is attached.

Click "Publish," and you're done!
At the same time, in a residential community in Yanjing.

Chen Xi changed into comfortable loungewear, sat cross-legged on the bed, and had an Apple MacBook in front of her.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Chen Xi placed the mug on the bedside table, used the touchpad to log into the Autohome forum.

Judging by the time, Yang Muyi should have already uploaded all the photos, right?
As Chen Xi was thinking this, a post with a flame icon in front of its title caught her eye.

It was Cheng Feng who posted the message.

When Chen Xi saw the words "Mr. Muscle has been cuckolded," his expression immediately became a little unnatural.

After clicking in and glancing at the main text, Chen Xi felt her cheeks burning.

When did I get snatched away by the owner of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to be his wife?
Chen Xi quickly clicked on the link in the post, and the page then redirected to the post made by Yang Muyi.

Before scrolling down the page, Chen Xi glanced at the post's publication time and number of views.

Less than half an hour after it was published, it had already received over 500,000 views.

The replies alone have already reached hundreds of pages.

Even though Chen Xi had never been on the Autohome forum before, he knew what this terrifying data represented.

Chen Xi quickly scrolled down the page and skimmed through the post's content.

The good news is that Yang Muyi kept his promise and clarified the truth for himself in the post.

The bad news is, it seems to be of little use.

Chen Xi flipped through several pages of replies, and everyone was discussing Mr. Muscle being cheated on.

2nd floor: After seeing the female lead's photos, I feel that Mr. Muscle's 300,000+ RMB Coolpad is really not worthy of such a beautiful wife.

13th floor: Never take a parking space belonging to a G-Class owner again, or your wife will be in danger.

18th floor: The G-Class owner is really something, he stole the wife from the Coupe the very next day, awesome!

210th floor: G-Class owners are starting to appear on the forum. Let's see if you guys who drive cars worth tens or hundreds of thousands will still dare to show off your beautiful wives on the forum.

321st floor: Questioning the Prime Minister, understanding the Prime Minister, envying the Prime Minister, this is the reputation of G-Class car owners!
……

Chen Xi became increasingly frustrated as he looked at the screen.

What kind of nonsensical replies are these?!
Suddenly, footsteps came from the doorway.

When her mother, Xie Shuna, pushed the door open, Chen Xi was so startled that she immediately closed her laptop and looked up in a panic.

"Xixi, why are you off work so early today? And what's with those cardboard boxes in your living room?"

Faced with Xie Shuna's concerned gaze, Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth after all.

"Mom, I quit my job today!"
