Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't let them deliver it, telling them that her home was nearby and only a 3-minute bike ride away!
After seeing them off, Chen Xiao got into his Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a system notification popped up:
[Ding~ Mission complete.]

[Task objective: Eat for free for three consecutive days]

[Task Rewards: Constitution +2, Dedication +2, Endurance +2, Zhao Xiangjun's Constitution +2]

Thank goodness! At this point, Chen Xiao realized that tonight's drinks with Diao Nan at the bar were a freebie, and the system required him to do so for three consecutive days. During these three days, everything would count as a task.

That unreliable Diao Nan! If the company hadn't reimbursed him, he would have ruined his mission tonight.

Chen Xiao was eager to get back and see how Xiang Jun would react after her physique increased by 2. The car had barely stopped when, without waiting for the driver to open the door, he pushed it open and rushed home.

As soon as I entered, I ran into Wang Ping. She had accompanied He Qing to act as a "firefighter" these past two days. "Is Xiangjun resting?"

Shaking his head, "No, we have guests at home!"

Huh? Chen Xiao frowned. What kind of guests were still here at this hour? It was already 9:30 PM. Usually, Zhao Xiangjun would be resting by now.

In his haste, he didn't even ask who it was, rushing towards the living room. From afar, he could hear people talking about a luxury car and a high-end handbag.
The voice sounded familiar to Chen Xiao, so he quickened his pace and entered the living room to see Zhao Xiangjun yawning, looking slightly tired.
Chen Xiao felt a pang of heartache at that moment. This guest was so inconsiderate!
"Chen Xiao." Seeing him enter, Zhao Xiangjun's eyes flashed with joy, and at the same time, there was a sense of relief in them.

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Xiao also realized that the young woman sitting opposite Zhao Xiangjun and He Qing was actually Zhang Yi's wife, his cousin-in-law.

"Sister-in-law," Chen Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

"My cousin and his family have moved in, and my cousin's wife is coming to see me tonight," Zhao Xiangjun explained on behalf of her cousin's wife, sensing that something was off.

"Okay," Chen Xiao nodded without saying anything.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi's wife quickly stood up: "Mr. Chen, it's getting late, you should get some rest."

"it is good--"

After everyone left, Zhao Xiangjun pinched him: "What are you doing? How rude!"

"What's with the manners? It's so late, and you're still here. Don't you have any sense of propriety?" Chen Xiao was obviously doing it on purpose, to teach her a lesson. Even if she was visiting relatives, it was unreasonable for her to stay until now.

Zhao Xiangjun never liked dealing with these kinds of things, and besides, she was pregnant and couldn't overexert herself.

"When did you arrive?" Chen Xiao turned to ask He Qing, who was standing next to him.

"They arrived in the afternoon and had dinner together at home that evening."

"Damn it!" Chen Xiao cursed. "Xiangjun, are you going to stay with me the whole time?"

Zhao Xiangjun leaned against him, "Otherwise, people come to me, I can't just leave them standing there, can I?"

Before Chen Xiao could continue her outburst, she suddenly seemed to remember something, "Chen Xiao, I feel really good today. I've been sitting for most of the day, and I'm only just starting to feel a little tired. Normally, I couldn't stand sitting for more than two hours!"

Xiangjun's words reminded Chen Xiao of the +1 to her physique that he had been paying attention to. It seemed to be really effective. In that case, he must find a way to trigger system tasks with her more often in the future.

"Chen Xiao, what are you doing? Can't you find a word to praise me?" Zhao Xiangjun saw him staring blankly and couldn't help but scratch his waist.

Chen Xiao snapped out of his daze and whispered in her ear, "Xiangjun, you're really capable!"

Zhao Xiangjun initially thought he was praising her, but when she saw his wicked smile and eager expression, she immediately understood his "filthy thoughts."

"Pah! All you ever talk about is this kind of stuff!"

He Qing sat to the side, watching them play, a happy smile on her face. She truly loved this feeling; it was so warm and cozy.
"Alright, let's go upstairs and rest. It's almost 10 o'clock."

Back in his room, Chen Xiaoxing quickly took a shower and was about to drag Xiangjun into creating another system mission when Zhao Xiangjun pushed him away, saying, "Go to He Qing's place first."

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him: "Wang Ping is here today too. Aren't those two more capable?"

Chen Xiao was taken aback, then burst into laughter. He understood that Zhao Xiangjun wasn't just considering Wang Ping's feelings, but more importantly, she was worried that he wouldn't be satisfied.
Alright, let's see if He Qing can trigger the mission tonight. As for Xiang Jun, there's no rush; let's take it slow and steady!

The next day, Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center
Chen Xiao hadn't been over for a few days. He sat in his office again, enjoying the treatment of Ma Jing making tea and Zhang Ziqian massaging his shoulders. At this moment, he could be said to have reached the pinnacle of happiness in his life.

Last night, I had a passionate night with He Qing and Wang Ping. The system activated a mission, and it wasn't difficult. My consciousness entered the system:
[Task Content: Attend a charity gala and contribute at least 1 million to the auction proceeds]

[Task Rewards: Constitution +2, Dedication +2, Endurance +2, He Qing's Constitution +2]

He couldn't understand why, even though he had defeated two opponents last night, only He Qing received a reward while Wang Ping didn't.

Have Zhang Ziqian keep an eye out for any reliable charity auctions lately. Firstly, the items need to be of substantial value, and secondly, the charitable organization must be trustworthy. We don't want any of those people using charity as a front for making money; it would be disgusting if they pocketed a hundred million!

Zhang Ziqian didn't ask further. Logically speaking, the boss's Junxiao Charitable Foundation invests over 50 billion yuan annually in charity, making it practically the world's largest. Keep in mind, this is all the boss's personal money; they don't accept external donations. Many celebrity charity donations look impressive, but they're mostly from individual donors. And these charitable foundations still receive high salaries. That's not charity; that's business.

Chen Xiao picked up his phone. It was a message from Diao Nan: "Chen Xiao, I've been waiting and waiting, but I haven't received your payment QR code yet?"

This guy's gotten addicted to treating himself to breakfast?
She tossed her phone aside, too lazy to pay him any attention. A while later, Diao Nan sent another message: "Hey, Chen Xiao, I'm reminding you, my sister is going to MALI tomorrow, you'd better take advantage of today to treat her to a meal..."

This is real concern! It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is! However, he had nothing to do today, so he decided to go along with it and sent Diao Chan a message: "Do you have time today? I'd like to invite you to dinner!"

Then she sent another message to Diao Nan: "It's late. If you want to treat me next time, please make a reservation in advance."

Zhifei Aerospace, Low-Altitude Flight Research Institute

When Diao Nan saw Chen Xiao's reply, he almost laughed in anger. Chen Xiao was even more pretentious than him.
Knock knock knock!

A knock sounded on the door. Diao Nan put down her phone and said, "Come in!"

The person who came in was the finance chief, Yang Tao. He bowed as he approached, "Teacher Diao, this expense reimbursement from last night needs your signature."

This is normal; he's the one who made the purchase, so he has to sign for it. What surprised him was that Yang Tao actually came over in person for something like this, so he quickly got up.

"Chief Accountant Yang, you're too kind. Just let me know and I'll come over!" The finance department has assistants, so why should the chief accountant have to make the trip?

"Teacher Diao, I definitely need to handle this matter personally..."

Yang Tao's performance flattered Diao Nan, while Diao Nan's flattery made Yang Tao appear extremely apprehensive. Diao Nan took the expense report; the string of numbers on it made his pen tremble as he signed it, and he stopped: "Is this really possible?"

"How could it not work out with Teacher Diao?" Yang Tao said confidently. He had even called the group's CFO to confirm, so how could it be false? Besides, Dean Hu had called him early this morning to deal with what happened last night.

Relieved, Diao Nan casually asked as she signed the document, "Does the hospital often process reimbursements of this amount?"

Yang Tao came to cultivate a good relationship with Diao Nan, so he was naturally very open and honest. "Teacher Diao, let alone over a million, even a hundred thousand is rare. A million-plus is probably only something a chairman of the board could afford."

Ah ~!

Diao Nan suddenly raised his head and exclaimed in surprise, "Then, this..." How could he be one of only two people in the company to receive such a large expense reimbursement?

Yang Tao laughed and said, "That's why I say, Teacher Diao, you're amazing. Don't worry, the chairman has already approved it in the OA process. I'm just completing the formalities."

While relieved, Diao Nan was quite surprised, but he didn't ask, mainly because he was afraid that if he asked, the higher-ups wouldn't agree.

Fortunately, he didn't ask why. Yang Tao wanted to ask him the same question: who exactly was he, that the chairman would spoil him like this?

Zhifei Aerospace Headquarters
Tan Yun from the administration office was delivering documents to the finance office again when she overheard people whispering among themselves. She recognized the people and, out of curiosity, asked, "What gossip are you talking about now?"

"Hey, Tan Yun, did you know that a few days ago, a new employee at the Low Altitude Flight Research Institute got promoted several times and received a significant salary increase?"

How could she not know? Tan Yun has been thinking about how to win back Diao Nan these past two days, but unfortunately that bastard keeps refusing to accept her friend request.

"What happened? Did they find out he wasn't qualified for his position and reduced his salary?"

"."

The finance department colleagues who were talking had no idea why Tan Yun was cursing someone so viciously.

"Wasn't that right? I was right!" Tan Yun was a little happy. Seeing Diao Nan in trouble made her feel so good. She no longer had to pursue that idiot.

"Tan Yun, the situation is quite the opposite—"

Huh? Tan Yun's smile froze instantly. On the contrary? "Could it be another promotion?!"

"No, but he set another record. Last night he spent 146 million on entertaining clients at the bar!"

“.”, Tan Yun’s mouth was wide open, big enough to swallow an egg.

146 million? How dare he? Then she became happy again, "Isn't he going to be in trouble this time? The company definitely won't reimburse that much money!"

"How could that be? The bill was paid by our branch's finance department last night, so of course it needs to be reimbursed. The chairman approved it through the OA system as soon as we got to work this morning!"

“.” Tan Yun understood, turned and left the finance office. She took out her phone and checked the number of Diao Nan that she had gotten from the human resources department. It seemed she needed to be more proactive.

Diao Nan was in his office when the phone rang. It was an unknown number. He swiped to answer: "Hello, who is this?"

[Tan Yun: Junior, it's me, Tan Yun!]

Diao Nan picked up her phone and looked at it. She almost thought she was hallucinating, so she put the receiver to her ear again!

[Tan Yun: Hello, hello. Junior, can you hear me?]

[Diao Nan: I heard you, senior. What can I do for you? I have a meeting soon!]

Diao Nan's hands trembled with nervousness. He made up an excuse to go to a meeting. It wasn't that he was being cold to Tan Yun; on the contrary, he was just too concerned. He felt that he had embarrassed himself last time and was not good enough for her. He couldn't get over this knot in his heart!
Upon hearing that this guy was going to a meeting, Tan Yun also became nervous. She had originally planned to lay the groundwork, but that wouldn't work now, so she went straight to the point:
[Tan Yun: Junior, I want to date you!]

“.” Diao Nan felt like she was dreaming. She was initially overjoyed, but then her smile froze, and she sighed.
[Diao Nan: Senior, I'm not good enough for you.]

Damn it, you're addicted to bluffing, aren't you? If Tan Yun were here, she'd really like to smash her phone in Diao Nan's face.

[Tan Yun: What is it about you that makes you unworthy of me?] She asked through gritted teeth, and Tan Yun even felt that Diao Nan was being sarcastic.

Diao Nan fell silent. How could he possibly bring up that embarrassing incident again in front of his senior sister, whom he had admired for so many years?

[Diao Nan: Senior sister, I'm just not good enough for you]

"You bastard!" Tan Yun gripped her phone tightly. [Tan Yun: Junior brother, whatever it is, I don't mind!]

[Diao Nan: But, I mind!!!]

He let out a groan, then said, "Senior sister, I'm going to a meeting."

Without waiting for Tan Yun's reply, he hung up the phone, slumped weakly onto the reception sofa, and stared blankly at the ceiling. "Sigh, senior sister, my dream can only remain my dream!"

Tan Yun: "Diao Nan, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Chen Xiao didn't receive Diao Chan's reply until noon: "Come on over, you don't need to treat me, I'll treat you to lunch."

Clearly, Diao Chan thought she was going to get a free meal again.

[Chen Xiao: The takeout you order every day is worse than pig slop. Let's go out and eat!]

[Diao Chan: Come here, I'll strangle you! I worked so hard to earn money to treat you to a meal, and you complain? And you're eating pig slop, pig slop, with such relish!]

[Chen Xiao: Stop nagging, let's go out for dinner, are you coming or not?]

[Diao Chan: You should book the restaurant.]

Before Chen Xiao could reply, she added: [Diao Chan: You better tone it down. I only make this much money a month, so be careful with your spending!]

Chen Xiao was too lazy to explain to her; he had no intention of letting her pay for dinner at all!
"Ziqian, help me find a restaurant. Hmm, not too expensive, something with a nice atmosphere, suitable for two people..."

Affordable living, but also a good environment?

Zhang Ziqian considered for a moment, "I'll order you a private kitchen meal, the budget is 899, it's not expensive!"

"That's not expensive," he nodded slightly, then suddenly remembered something: "Any news from the side that chased Xu Jia's car on the highway last time?" (End of Chapter)
