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

Looking into Jiang Che's smiling eyes, Chen Fei felt that uneasy feeling welled up again.

This girl is too smart, and her observation skills are frighteningly sharp. Just now in the conference room, she was staring at him so intently that he felt uneasy. Now, with her smiling face, Chen Fei felt that she hadn't given up on finding out his secrets.

We need to change the subject quickly!

Chen Fei's mind raced, and he followed up on her words, saying, "I'm looking forward to it too. By the way, after you help me put together the outfit, would you mind if I filmed it? I plan to make it into a video and use it as today's update for my Xiaohongshu account."

He thought that it would be safe to steer the conversation toward a matter of mutual concern.

"Of course! There's nothing to worry about," Jiang Che agreed readily. "Your account leveling up will also help me."

As she spoke, she magically produced a black gimbal from her bag and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked closely and saw that it was DJI's Pocket 3.

"Here, this is for you." Jiang Che's tone was as relaxed as if he were handing over a bottle of water. "It's not company property. I bought it myself to make videos for fun. I don't use it much usually, but since you're going to be a blogger, I'm giving it to you."

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to refuse.

This item costs around three thousand yuan. Although it's not very expensive for either of us, it's definitely not a gift that can be accepted casually.

He didn't want to owe such a favor; after all, cooperation is one thing, but involving too many personal gifts could easily taint the relationship.

"This is too expensive, no, no." Chen Fei quickly waved his hand, "I'll just buy one myself, how can I accept your gift?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow slightly. Instead of withdrawing his hand, he pushed the Pocket 3 forward further.

"Just accept it, don't be so polite. Besides, this is the first time I've given a gift to a guy, and if you just refuse like this, I'll lose face, okay?"

Her tone was somewhat joking, but the determination in her eyes was genuine.

Seeing her posture, Chen Fei could only smile helplessly and take the small camera, which still held the warmth of her palm: "Then thank you for your generous gift, Boss Jiang."

"That's more like it." Jiang Che smiled with satisfaction, his eyes curving into crescents.

But the next second, she changed the subject, leaning closer with a smile: "You've accepted the gift, so how are you going to repay me?"

Chen Fei was momentarily stunned: "??? No! Wasn't this something you insisted on giving me?"

"Yeah, I practically forced you to accept it?" Jiang Che looked smug, as if his scheme had succeeded. "Then why wouldn't you tell me what you used to do?"

Sure enough, they were waiting here!

Chen Fei inwardly groaned, but could only put on a wry smile. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond to the conversation.

Just as his brain was racing, racking his brains for an excuse, Jiang Che, seeing his embarrassed look, suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers:

"Oh—! I understand!"

She made the same expression as the "scheming frog that keeps touching your belly" and said seriously:

"You must have had a proper job before! And most likely it was in operations, planning, or directing, right? But then you lost your job! Was it because of company layoffs? Or did the project fall through?"

As she spoke, she carefully observed Chen Fei's expression, trying to find corroborating evidence.

"After losing your job, you couldn't find a suitable one right away, so you started to feel down and just gave up, which is why you became a 'spirited young man'!"

She gestured with her hand towards Chen Fei's blond hair, seemingly teasing him, "The reason you haven't mentioned it is because you're embarrassed? Is it your male pride that's bothering you, making you too ashamed to admit you're unemployed? Am I right?"

Chen Fei was stunned!

Genius! Jiang Che, you're a true genius!

This ability to fill in the gaps in his imagination, this level of logical consistency, is simply amazing! It completely filled in the most reasonable "persona" for him!

Almost instantly, he decided to go along with it, his face immediately adopting an expression of embarrassment and slight sadness at being caught off guard, lowering his head slightly and softly humming in agreement.

"Yeah, that's about it... I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

To increase credibility, he even tried to recall the state of several colleagues in his previous life when they drank and complained to him after being laid off, and imitated their sense of loss and resentment to a degree of five or six.

When Jiang Che saw his reaction, he thought he had really guessed right. His face immediately showed an expression of "I knew it", which then turned into an expression of empathy and comfort.

She reached out and patted Chen Fei on the back naturally: "It's okay, it's okay, I understand. That's just how things are right now. You're so capable, losing your job definitely isn't a matter of your ability!"

Her tone became exceptionally sincere: "Really, Chen Fei, with the abilities you demonstrated today, I believe you can definitely succeed in starting your business! The outfit I've put together later is a gift to celebrate this new beginning in your career, so don't refuse!"

Having said all that and built up the atmosphere, Chen Fei knew that refusing again would be too fake.

He looked up and gave Jiang Che a grateful smile: "Okay! Thank you then, Jiang Che. I appreciate your kind words, let's work hard together."

"That's right!" Jiang Che smiled happily, as if a major worry had been resolved.

The atmosphere between the two immediately relaxed considerably.

Amidst laughter and conversation, we arrived at the entrance of a small but trendy menswear store inside the park.

"Xiao Nian, are you busy?" Jiang Che pushed open the glass door and greeted him familiarly.

A girl wearing black-rimmed glasses and with two neat braids looked up at the sound of the voice. Seeing Jiang Che, she smiled and said, "Oh, Boss Jiang, what brings you here today? And you brought a friend?"

Her gaze fell curiously on Chen Fei.

"You brought a friend to patronize your business," Jiang Che said with a smile. "This is Chen Fei, the company operations helper I invited. Chen Fei, and this is Xu Xiaonian, the short video director for this men's clothing brand, he's really talented."

"Hello." Chen Fei nodded politely to the other person.

Xu Xiaonian adjusted his glasses and joked with a smile, "Jiang Che, you're really something. Every time a male employee in the company gets promoted or makes a contribution, you bring him here to buy clothes as a reward. You're here again today. It's like this place is your company's employee welfare distribution point."

Jiang Che laughed at her words: "What can I do? My company only sells women's clothing! By the way, Xiao Nian, I remember your store is currently promoting that trendy men's outfit, do you still have it in stock? I'd like Chen Fei to try it on."
