"what!"

Lin Xi jumped out of bed with a start. Taking back her money was tantamount to taking her life. She immediately made a phone call.

"Xixi, what's wrong? Why are you calling so late?" Yan Lu's voice was somewhat deep and strangely pleasant, perhaps because of the night.

Lin Xi picked up her phone and looked at it.

Oh! It's already 11 o'clock!

It is indeed a bit late...

"How's things going on your end? Mainly, do you have enough money?" Lin Xi asked directly.

"It's definitely enough, it's only been a day or two!"

"Oh, not enough, okay, wait!"

Before the other end could react, Lin Xi hung up. She then handed the rest to her "treasurer"...

Huh? There's still 9 million left? Oh right, we only spent 1 million today. We really need to work harder!

Well, she calmly transferred the remaining 9 million to Jiang Jinfeng, who then passed it on to Yan Lu.

Congratulations on the cashback being credited to your account! Total balance: 30.28 billion.

100% cashback, isn't that her personal finance expert?

Looking at the numbers in her mobile bank account, Lin Xi was incredibly excited! She was determined to treat her family to something nice when she went home next week!

Lin Xi grinned, then fell asleep while still holding her phone.

The system looked at her greedy expression and thought to itself that its little one hadn't seen enough of the world. Getting so excited over just 30 billion was not good; it still didn't have enough money.

The system quickly went to the central control center in the system space and started fiddling with it.

After a while...

Finally, it was all done. Looking at its sleeping host, who wasn't even covered by the blanket, it turned into a white cat, exited the system, jumped onto her bed, and laboriously pawed at her blanket with its little paws.

Her blankets were all made of silk, which were light but also very slippery. The system finally managed to cover Lin Xi's body with the blankets after a great deal of effort.

"Hoo... Meow..." The system, exhausted, lay down beside its host and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Yan Ziqi looked at the extra 9 million in his account balance and fell into deep thought...

Why did it feel like he was being given a hot potato?

The next day, Lin Xi's alarm clock rang as usual. She groggily reached for her phone and touched a soft patch of fur. Lin Xi, who was still a little sleepy, was instantly awakened.

what the hell!

"What the hell? It's this system! Not a ghost!" The system angrily returned to its system space.

Hmph! She can forget about me covering her with a blanket again, you heartless host.

"Oh dear, that's not what I meant. I just didn't know it was you. If I had known it was my system baby, I would have petted it a couple more times, since it's so cute." Lin Xi had long seen through its childlike nature and immediately coaxed it.

"Alright, then this system will take pity on you and forgive you!" the system replied haughtily, its tone indeed soft, like a little dumpling.

Five minutes later, the alarm clock rang again.

"I need to hurry up and wash up."

After saying that, Lin Xi quickly got out of bed and got busy.

Arrive at the training location promptly at 6 o'clock.

"Young Miss, I can no longer teach you starting today," Shi Xiaochi said apologetically as she walked over.

"Oh, it's alright. After all, the company is up and running, so there's a lot to do. I understand."

"No, it's just that... I don't have anything left to teach you." Shi Xiaochi's tone was a little embarrassed, but her expression remained somewhat cold and hard.

“I see, that makes sense,” Lin Xi replied with a look of agreement.

Wouldn't that mean she got up so early for nothing? No, she needs to go back and catch up on her sleep.

Lin Xi ran upstairs quickly, entered the bedroom, closed the door, and fell into silence...

She can finally sleep until she naturally wakes up again; it's been such a long time coming.

Shi Xiaochi stared blankly at her series of actions.

He... he probably didn't say anything bad!

Still puzzled, Shi Xiaochi received a message at that moment.

[XiXi: I've had someone transfer money to you. Get all your buddies the same kind of car as you, one for each of them. Don't try to save money for me.]

He opened his phone's text messages and saw that 2 million yuan had been deposited into his bank account. He opened his previous chat and was about to type when he saw her message again.

[XiXi: I'm asleep, don't reply.]

Shi Xiaochi chuckled softly, her face, like a melting iceberg, curving into a joyful smile, her eyes brimming with emotion.

He looked up in Lin Xi's direction, his eyes sparkling.

The luckiest thing in his life was meeting her!

Lin Xi was unaware of Shi Xiaochi's thoughts at that moment; she was fast asleep.

Around noon, Lin Xi finally woke up from her sleep, stretched, and yawned.

Ah, that was a really good sleep!

After staring blankly for a while, she slowly went back to the bathroom to wash up.

After she finished cleaning up, her stomach started growling. She dragged her heavy, sleepy steps toward the kitchen.

I go!

Lin Xi was startled and looked at the scene before her again.

In the kitchen, a tall, slender man stood, wearing the cute little apron she had impulsively bought that evening. He smiled as he skillfully chopped vegetables, seasoned, and tossed the wok, each movement fluid and powerful. His delicate profile appeared even more hazy and beautiful in the steam.

This is so pleasing to the eye! The only downside is that they're wearing too many clothes. How can they be so covered up?

A fragrant aroma gradually filled the air. Lin Xi took a deep breath, and her stomach growled even louder.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jinfeng turned to look at Lin Xi, his eyes full of smiles. He said softly, "Are you hungry? Wait a few more minutes, it'll be ready soon."

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded obediently and sat down at the table, looking at the dishes that looked and smelled delicious, especially the tempting chili peppers.

Lin Xi swallowed hard, forcing herself to look away from the dishes. Watching Jiang Jinfeng stir-frying the food, a warm feeling washed over her, a simple and peaceful sensation.

"Alright, the last dish is finished. Miss, please try it!" Jiang Jinfeng placed the last dish on the table and looked intently at Lin Xi.

He learned about her preferences by observing her eating habits over the past two days, but he didn't know if it would suit her taste.

Under his expectant gaze, Lin Xi picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of chicken, and put it in her mouth.

"How about it?"

Lin Xi shook his head, but when he saw that Jiang Jinfeng's expression was somewhat downcast, he gave him a thumbs up.

She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and exclaimed, "It's so delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a spicy flavor that fills your taste buds. It's really amazing!"

"Is it really that delicious?" Jiang Jinfeng looked at her with sparkling eyes, his face full of joy.

"Really, you don't know, I can't live without spicy food. Lately, I've been eating with the locals, and it's really not spicy at all for me. Your home-style dishes are still the best. Get me some rice. Good food is only as good as rice."
