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

Jiang Che originally wanted to meet near the Jitao Building, planning to go see his future new office after dinner.

But not long after the message was sent, Chen Fei replied, saying that the area was either full of fast food, light meals, or low-value business restaurants.

She had just recovered and needed to eat something substantial, so she sent me the location of this old town teahouse, saying that its morning tea was light, nutritious, and had a great reputation.

Jiang Che looked at his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

No wonder her parents urged her to date; it turns out this is what it feels like to have someone other than her parents care about her in her daily life.

Upon reflection, this was indeed their first formal date since returning from Hangzhou.

The teahouse is quite nice; it's not noisy, offers privacy, and has an elegant ambiance.

She replied, "Okay, whatever you say."

At 9:30 a.m. sharp, the two met in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

Chen Fei wore a light gray shirt today, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, and dark casual pants. He looked refreshing and energetic, with a more relaxed feel than usual.

"Your outfit looks good today," Jiang Che said with a smile, glancing at him.

"After all, we're having dinner with President Jiang, so I should dress presentably." Chen Fei smiled, his gaze sweeping over her and landing on her fitted dark blue jeans. "These jeans of yours look quite nice; they suit you."

"Really? Thank you." Jiang Che smiled politely, but a slight thought stirred within him.

He noticed the jeans, but... did he notice the "little secret" hidden inside them?

For this date, she didn't just wear jeans today; she also wore the best stockings in her wardrobe.

Unfortunately, after praising the jeans, Chen Fei naturally shifted the topic to the teahouse's specialty snacks, seemingly not giving her shoes a second glance.

Jiang Che wasn't in a hurry; she still had her "trump card."

According to Chen Fei, the 26th floor of Jitao Building still retains the previous company's decoration, and it is currently empty because no decoration team has been hired yet.

After dinner, they went to see the office together. In the top-floor space of more than 1,000 square meters, empty and deserted, with only the two of them, that was the best stage to show off their black stockings.

Romantic and unique.

Just imagining that scene made her heart flutter, and she quickly took out her laptop and opened the cooperation proposal.

The two quickly got down to business.

Jiang Che carefully explained the details of the company merger. Chen Fei listened attentively on the surface, but he was somewhat absent-minded.

The reason is simple—the system has no new tasks.

Since completing the task of "recruiting 5 employees" and receiving the amazing reward of the 26th floor of Jitao Building, that familiar ringing sound and task prompts have never appeared again.

Currently, only two permanent favorability progress bars are displayed on the interface:

Meng Sixian's favorability rating: 54%

[Li Yunyao's favorability rating: 28%]

Apart from that, it was completely blank.

With his daily routines of "cleanliness and rent collection," "a new day," and charm rewards all hidden, he was just like an ordinary person without a system today.

However, this period of inactivity did not cause Chen Fei anxiety.

On the contrary, looking at the activated skills in the system panel, Chen Fei felt an unprecedented sense of security and a faint sense of invincibility!

Yes, invincibility is not in the sense of military strength or power, but rather the confidence that "given time, I can steadily climb the ladder of success."

The team has a solid financial foundation, including system skills and fixed assets like the 26th floor of the Jitao Building. Their personal skills include professional expertise in clothing, home appliances, and auto repair, as well as a bug-level auxiliary tool like the "Delayed Bubble" for crucial moments.

What he needs to do now is to make good use of the resources at hand, find a suitable project for the company, recruit employees, and use the constraints of salary to pay more wages and make more money.

After a few months, I estimate I'll be financially independent.

So when Jiang Che presented the plan, Chen Fei read it quickly and thought about it just as quickly.

Jiang Che's abilities are beyond doubt, and combined with his resources, they can easily produce an effect greater than 2.

Besides, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Jiang Che has already dared to kiss her forcefully in front of Shen Shaoting to prove his status as her girlfriend, so he probably wouldn't harm her.

"Okay." Chen Fei reached out and closed his laptop. Under Jiang Che's nervous and expectant gaze, he nodded. "We'll do it your way. You're my girlfriend now, so you can handle the execution."

He agreed readily, even more readily than Jiang Che had expected.

They didn't haggle over every penny or try to drive down the price; instead, they showed great trust and authority.

This caught Jiang Che off guard, who had prepared several sets of arguments and concessions.

Looking at Chen Fei's calm face, the tension in her heart eased considerably, followed by a surge of more complex emotions:

He trusts me so much, I definitely need to work even harder! Whether as a partner or a spouse, I must do my best!

Just as the two finished chatting about work and completely relaxed, preparing to order their food, a sweet, almost deliberately sweet voice appeared: "Hello, Chen Fei, what a coincidence."

Jiang Che and Chen Fei turned their heads at the same time.

A young woman in a light green cheongsam pushed open the door, carrying a teapot, and looked at Chen Fei with a smile.

"Hello, beautiful lady," the girl walked in and naturally sat down in the empty seat next to Chen Fei. She extended her hand to Jiang Che with an impeccable smile. "My name is Lu Ziyue, and I'm Chen Fei's... fan."

Jiang Che's brow twitched.

Fans? With that kind of demeanor and style, she'd be more like a rich heiress or a top-tier internet celebrity.

She reached out and gently shook his hand, her voice steady: "Jiang Che. Chen Fei's partner and girlfriend. What do you mean by 'fans'? I don't know anything about that."

"Sister Jiang, don't worry, I'll explain it to you right away," Lu Ziyue withdrew her hand, took out her phone, opened the photo album and handed it over, "Look, these are photos that Chen Fei took for me. His photography skills are amazing, so I became his fan."

Looking at the photos on the screen, Jiang Che noticed that the shooting techniques and composition were indeed somewhat similar to Chen Fei's style.

Fortunately, she already knew that Chen Fei was never short of girls, so she easily maintained her composure and smile: "I understand, I understand. Chen Fei has had many photos taken in my photography studio, and I know he's a good photographer."

These words startled Lu Ziyue. A photography studio?

It seemed that the girl in front of her was not as simple as Meng Sixian. Lu Ziyue steadied herself and began to think about how to respond.

Taking advantage of the pause in the two girls' jealous conversation, Chen Fei quickly asked Lu Ziyue, "What are you doing here?"

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Sixian and Lu Ziyue became good friends, Chen Fei would have preferred to stay away from Lu Ziyue.

If she finds out that I have a system, who knows what she will do.
