I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

Time hardly moves in the outside world.

He picked up the repaired dress and examined it carefully under the light.

The tear at the waist has disappeared, and the lotus pattern is perfectly integrated, with almost no trace of repair.

Only when touched can one vaguely feel that the small area is slightly thicker due to the stitching, but visually it is already seamless.

Chen Fei didn't go out immediately; fixing it in one minute would be too shocking.

So he played on his phone inside for more than an hour before pulling back the curtain and going out.

Sister Zhou and her assistant, who were pacing anxiously outside and checking their watches every now and then, immediately surrounded them.

When they saw the perfectly intact waist, their eyes widened instantly.

Especially Sister Zhou, she took the clothes, touched them in disbelief, looked at them against the light, and even took out her magnifying glass to examine them carefully.

"My God... this... how is this possible?!" Sister Zhou's voice was filled with shock and ecstasy. Her gaze towards Chen Fei had completely changed, filled with disbelief and heartfelt admiration. "Perfect... it's a perfect repair! Mr. Chen, how... how did you do that? In less than two hours!"

Chen Fei smiled and wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead: "I used a special technique and managed to succeed by sheer luck. Looks like I didn't delay your business."

"You didn't just not delay us! You saved the day!" Sister Zhou was overjoyed. She quickly asked her assistant to pour water, and tightly grasped Chen Fei's hand, her voice filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much! You really can't judge a book by its cover! President Jiang has excellent taste, having such a capable partner like you!"

She was incredibly glad that she had chosen to believe in this young man.

After the initial excitement subsided, Sister Zhou looked at the dress in her hand, then at the composed Chen Fei, and her mind began to race.

Although she didn't reach an agreement on the price with Jiang Che yesterday, she is optimistic about the emerging brand "Lemon Tree" and Jiang Che himself.

Now that we've witnessed Chen Fei's incredible restoration skills, everything can be discussed again.

She lowered her voice, her tone much more sincere and enthusiastic than yesterday: "Mr. Chen, please give my regards to General Manager Jiang when you get back. As for yesterday's price..."

She hesitated for a moment, then decisively said, "In that case, if Mr. Jiang is truly interested in becoming the distributor of our new Chinese-style collection, we can discuss the price further. The company can offer a minimum of 25 yuan!"

25! That's 5 lower than the target price Jiang Che mentioned yesterday!

Chen Fei was overjoyed. This "unexpected" intervention not only provided him with a deep understanding of the functions of the [Delay Bubble], but also helped Jiang Che solve the price problem.

He remained calm and exchanged contact information with Sister Zhou, agreeing to discuss the matter in detail after Jiang Che recovered.

He took out his phone from his pocket, intending to send the good news to Jiang Che, but after thinking for a while, he decided to tell him in person and see Jiang Che's reaction.

Because he had thoroughly enjoyed using the "Skillful Tailoring" skill, Chen Fei lingered at the clothing exhibition for quite a while before heading back.

When I got back to the hotel, it was almost 4 p.m.

Chen Fei did not return to his room, but went straight to the hotel's buffet restaurant.

At this time of day, there are only a few customers in the buffet restaurant, with only a handful of tables occupied.

Chen Fei grabbed a plate and headed straight for the barbecue area.

Grilled lamb chops, pan-fried steak, chicken breast, prawns, salmon... his plate quickly piled up into an eye-catching little mountain, and he even put a few pieces of fruit on another plate at the end.

As he carried these two "mountains of food" toward the window seat, the chef, who was preparing dinner ingredients, couldn't help but peek out and glance at Chen Fei in surprise, his eyes clearly saying:

Didn't this gentleman just have lunch here? This appetite... is truly astonishing!

Could he be a buffet blogger like the "Three Warriors Who Never Get Enough to Eat"?

Chen Fei saw the chef's shocked expression and could only manage a bitter smile.

He can't exactly explain to people that he just worked tirelessly for eight hours straight in a "bubble" with a different time flow, can he?

He could only sit down with a normal expression and begin to eat.

Thinking to myself, this [delay bubble] is useful, but I've consumed a lot of it.

Chen Fei ate meat with a fork in his right hand and picked up his phone with his left hand to check his bank app balance.

He had turned off the instant notifications because the system kept popping up notifications about his "charm points gained," and he could just check the history when he wanted to.

He opened the system interface that only he could see, brought up his recent earnings records, and scrolled through the messages one by one:

[Daily tidiness reward: 500 + 500 yuan]

[Through in-depth exchanges with Lin Jingyi and Shen Shaoting, I achieved a spiritual resonance, gained charm, and acquired wealth: 188888 yuan]

[Last night, taking care of the sick Jiang Che demonstrated a sense of responsibility and compassion, gaining charm and wealth: +88888 yuan]

[Today, I repaired a precious sample garment at the exhibition, solving someone's urgent problem. I received amazement and gratitude, gained charm, and earned a fortune of 30000 yuan.]

......

All things considered, combined with his previous savings, his current available funds have quietly approached two million yuan.

Chen Fei looked at the string of numbers on the screen and let out a slight sigh.

He hasn't been in this world for very long, but the change from a penniless "spirited young man" to now having more than a million yuan in cash is nothing short of earth-shattering.

With a little more time to save up, the down payment for a decent house in this city no longer seems like an unattainable dream.

After checking the balance and satisfying my appetite, the next challenge is to reply to messages.

Chen Fei put down his fork and rubbed his temples.

Knowing a lot of girls is definitely a good thing.

But replying to messages, especially those that require careful attention, is indeed a physically and mentally demanding task.

I was so busy taking care of Jiang Che yesterday that I didn't even have time to go to the gym.

My mind is also on the exhibition and repairing clothes today. The number of unread messages on WeChat has unceremoniously reached "99+".

The "Lucky Three Treasures" group chat had the most messages, with over a hundred messages, mostly from Shen Shaoting chattering about her daily life and internet jokes.

Lin Jingyi occasionally chimed in, the conversation shifting from everyday sharing to a subtle longing.

Meng Sixian also posted more than twenty messages, including previous photos and screenshots, two photos of her having a late-night snack with Lu Ziyue, and asked Chen Fei how he was doing in Hangzhou. The rest were her chats with the male photographer.

Chen Fei took a closer look. Although it was supposed to be a chat, Meng Sixian was clearly aloof and distant, which was completely different from the enthusiasm and initiative he had shown when they chatted.

Clearly, Meng Sixian sent these chat logs simply to make Chen Fei jealous.

Compared to others, Lu Ziyue's chat box lay quietly in the list, with only 10 unread messages.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and then clicked on Lu Ziyue's profile picture, which had the fewest messages.

This quirky and unpredictable girl always manages to surprise Chen Fei whenever she sends him a message.

Lu Ziyue's message was very brief; the first sentence was:

"These photos are a nine-grid collage I took for Xiaoxian in her hotel room~ We agreed to keep them as a memento and not show them to anyone else, so don't sell me out! [Shh]"

Chen Fei swiped his finger and tapped it.

The moment the image loaded, his chewing motion stopped.

It was all Meng Sixian.

And what's more, it's a swimsuit cosplay!
