Miler, who has a system for giving up
Chapter 21 Flattered
Ye Dongjun hung up the phone, still unable to calm down.
He walked to the window, gazed at the night view outside, and secretly marveled at this wonderful experience.
At this moment, Han Heng slowly sat up, clutching the mysterious fruit tightly in his hand, as if he were pondering something.
The next morning, I arrived at the company smoothly thanks to Sikong Feng's arrangements. Before leaving my bedroom, I called out to my little darling to sign in and had her announce it via voice. Since the journey was long, I didn't go to the restaurant for breakfast and instead had the driver Sikong Feng had arranged take me to the company.
At first, the driver would occasionally say a few words to me, but perhaps sensing that I needed to catch up on sleep on the road, he told me I could sleep for a while and then stopped talking, even turning the air conditioning temperature to 22 degrees Celsius.
I closed my eyes, as if I were asleep, but I was actually listening intently to my little darling's latest updates. Otherwise, if I were to draw lines in the air in front of others, they would think I was a super-sick person.
The little cutie probably sensed I was in the car, and her voice was a little low as she said, "My beautiful master is here so early today! Congratulations on successfully checking in! Congratulations on checking in for 11 consecutive days! Awesome! Keep it up! Rewards: 5 Peach Fragments, 3 Fragments of a 500-year-old Lightning-Struck Wooden Sword, Fortune: Special Auspicious, 9 Lottery Tickets."

"Huh?!" I was somewhat surprised, inwardly marveling, "So those two ancient books from yesterday were actually the Medicine God's Records of Medicine and the operating manual for my medicinal field!" No wonder those ordinary vegetables mutated; it turned out to be because of this. I couldn't help but recall my previous experiences, which made me even more interested in these ancient books.
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly realized something: the Sikong family didn't know that this ancient book was the Medicine God's Record of Medicine! This surprised me greatly, since such a precious book should be extremely rare.
When I used my divine sense to enter the medicine field space to check the warehouse, I found that the place where the ancient book was originally stored was empty. After some thought, I guessed that the book might have transformed into knowledge and been integrated into my mind.
I sighed helplessly, thinking that this was a real problem; I couldn't return the book now. It seemed I would have to wait for another opportunity to rewrite it from memory and return it to them.
Just then, the car slowly came to a stop, and I snapped out of my reverie. Opening my eyes, I saw we were already downstairs at the company. I quickly checked the time; there were less than fifteen minutes left before work started, and I was about to be late. I hurriedly thanked the driver and said goodbye, then rushed upstairs to clock in.
I finally arrived at the company and successfully clocked in and entered the office. However, as soon as I entered, I felt an unusual atmosphere enveloping the entire room. My colleagues, who were usually busy chatting, watching dramas, or eating breakfast, were now all whispering to each other, their eyes revealing curiosity and gossip.
This unusual atmosphere made me suspicious. I frowned in confusion, wondering what had happened, as I walked towards my workstation.
As soon as I reached my workstation, I was surprised to find that my once empty desk was now filled with things. The most eye-catching item was a beautifully packaged high-end meal placed in the center, with a card on top of it.
Beside me sat a bouquet of baby's breath, gardenias, and blue roses, carefully arranged with a card tucked into it. Just when I thought that was all, my gaze fell on the upper left corner of the workstation, where there was another exquisitely crafted gift box with a note inside that read "To Miler."
Just as I was about to pick up the two cards to examine them more closely, I suddenly heard three consecutive text message notifications. So, I put down the cards, quickly took out my phone from my pocket, and opened one of the messages.
The text message came from the bank, informing me that 14 billion yuan had been successfully deposited into my account. When I saw the long string of zeros after that number, I suddenly remembered that Sikong Feng had told me yesterday that I would receive 1 million yuan for each bottle of medicine.
I figured since I could help him, I'd just give him 12 bottles. But even if I added those 12 bottles to the half-empty bottle I'd used in the experiment, it only amounted to 13 bottles in total. So why did he transfer 14 billion to me?
I'll send a message later when I have some free time to ask what's going on. Then, I opened two more messages from unknown numbers. One of the numbers looked familiar, so I opened that message first.
That's when I realized the number belonged to Ye Dongjun. He had called me yesterday, which is why the number looked familiar. I quickly saved his name in my contacts and then continued reading the text message.
The text message read: "Little Lele, do you like the flowers you received? They should have been delivered to the office by now. See you after get off work, ?( ′???` ) Sending love." It wasn't until then that I realized the flowers were from Ye Dongjun.
I opened the card on the bouquet, and as expected, it was in his usual style, simply writing: "Hope Xiao Lele goes to work happily, hehe, this is Dongjun."
I opened another text message and looked at the unfamiliar number. I chuckled to myself; just as I suspected, this number belonged to Han Heng. I quickly saved it in my contacts and then went back to read his messages.
"Little Lele, I'm Han Heng. I hope you like the dress I prepared for you. After get off work, change into the dress I prepared for you. Tonight, I'll take you to a banquet and introduce you to some cultivators and seniors from our S City. I'll pick you up tonight; the other two are quite busy and will go directly to the banquet hall."
I looked at the message with some surprise, and at the same time, I noticed the exquisite gift box in the upper left corner of my workstation. Could it be the dress he mentioned? Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When I carefully opened the gift box, a snow-white dress was revealed before my eyes. The dress was simple yet elegant in design, with smooth and natural lines, and I fell in love with it at first sight. However, what attracted my attention even more was the card tucked inside the dress.
I gently picked up the card, opened it, and saw it read: "Little Lele, this is a return gift for you. I hope you like it. The size was chosen based on my feeling. If it doesn't fit, I'll take you to get it altered before the banquet. - Han Heng"
After reading the words on the card, it suddenly dawned on me. So, Han Heng gave me the dress as a return gift for that fruit! But why did he take me to meet those cultivators and seniors? Was there some special purpose behind it?
Perhaps, by getting to know these people, I can better understand the situation in the cultivation world, which will also help me collect more plants and refine more elixirs.
With that in mind, I decided to accept Han Heng's invitation. After all, making more connections with cultivators would be beneficial for me. So, I gently closed the gift box again, waiting for the end of the workday so I could change into that beautiful dress and attend this mysterious banquet.
My gaze fell on the card attached to the high-end food packaging, which read: "Little Lele, I guessed you wouldn't eat breakfast, so I ordered you a meal from the best five-star hotel under my family's umbrella. I hope you like it. Eat more, you're too thin. And as for that 14 billion, don't worry about it, it's all what you deserve - Sikong Feng."
Alright, since he's put it that way, I'll stop dwelling on what that 100 million is all about. After all, in the cultivation world, 100 million might not even buy the right or necessary rare and precious materials! With that in mind, I won't hold back.
Once I snapped out of my thoughts, my colleagues saw me open the fancy lunchbox and their curiosity was piqued, so they all crowded around. The two little girls, Xiao Wang and Xiao Xu, were especially eager, pushing and shoving, wanting to know what was inside. Finally, unable to contain their curiosity, they each asked a question, which raised the same question that everyone had.
Xiao Wang lowered his head and asked shyly, "Mi Le, what's the deal with all these gifts on your table? We're so envious!"
Xiao Xu asked excitedly, "Mi Le, these three gifts weren't sent by people who are pursuing you, were they? These three gifts were delivered one after the other, could it be that three people are pursuing you at the same time? Which one do you like? These three gifts are all very expensive. Take this meal, for example, it's from the Sikong family's five-star hotel. You can't get a seat without a reservation, and they haven't even offered delivery yet!"
Miler said helplessly, "Why are you even more excited than me? I don't know what to do."
At this moment, Zeng suddenly stood up and said, "Look at that exquisite gift box. The logo on it was exclusively designed by Luna, a world-class designer. I've seen it displayed online. Items of this caliber cost tens of millions each! And that seemingly simple bouquet actually comes from a florist under the Ye family, which provides services exclusively for the wealthy and powerful."
As I listened to their explanations, I realized just how expensive these gifts were.
After I gathered my thoughts, I began to answer their questions. I shook my head and said, "You're overthinking it. These three gifts were given to me by three of my good friends. I once helped them solve a big problem, so they gave me some items from their own companies as a token of their gratitude. To them, these are nothing of great value."
Upon hearing my explanation, my colleagues' eyes widened in disbelief as they exclaimed, "Wow, your friends are so generous!" Xiao Wang and Xiao Xu were even more excited, saying that I was a true winner in life.
Just then, the boss walked into the office, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the gift on my desk. He walked straight up to me, smiled, and said, "Xiaomi, it seems you have a wide network of connections in the industry. Even the Sikong and Ye families have connections with you."
I smiled a little awkwardly and quickly explained, "We're just ordinary friends." The boss nodded thoughtfully, then patted me on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, this is a good thing. Young man, seize the opportunity." With that, he turned and left.
Seeing the envious looks in my colleagues' eyes, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside me. These gifts truly flattered me, but they also made me realize that I seemed to have attracted some attention in this cultivation world. I secretly resolved to work even harder to improve my strength, so as not to disappoint my friends' expectations.
But Sister Lin walked over to me, bent down, and whispered, "Don't overthink it. They just love to gossip. Once the questions are asked, they'll stop gossiping. Besides, everyone's happy for you. We data people only care about the data. I just saw your dress; you must be going to a banquet or something tonight. Although my Xiaomi is naturally beautiful, it's still an invitation, so it's best to wear light makeup to show respect."
However, I'm now in a dilemma. The girl in my memory never knew how to wear makeup! In that world, I was focused on cultivation and work, and had never even touched makeup before. Looking at Sister Lin, I said helplessly, "Sister Lin, I really don't know how to do makeup, and I don't have any cosmetics. What should I do? If you hadn't reminded me, I would have definitely embarrassed my friends."
Sister Lin gently patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Don't worry, I'm very good at makeup! I have makeup products, they're right here at my workstation. Sometimes the company will suddenly notify me to attend meetings, so I keep a set in my dorm and at my workstation. I'll do your makeup for you after get off work."
Hearing this, I finally felt relieved and thanked Sister Lin gratefully.
At that moment, I noticed that several colleagues hadn't had breakfast yet. So, I warmly invited them to come and enjoy this high-end, five-star breakfast. Sure enough, it was delicious, and everyone ate with great relish, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
Everyone returned to their workstations and began another day of work.
