Sleeping was basically a mission for Xu Changqing right now!
Because the system needed to cleanse his body, which made Xu Changqing a bit excited.
If he could level up to Level 1 after waking up… wouldn't that mean he could finally play freely?
Thinking was thinking, but Xu Changqing still decided to complete the first mission first!
"Ding! System notification: Current level upgraded to -7.99… A special mission has appeared. Do you accept?"
Xu Changqing hadn't even fallen asleep yet when the voice in his mind woke him up.
"What the heck? It actually got stuck?"
From -8 to -7.99…
Xu Changqing needed a moment to process this.
"I accept!"
He chose to accept in the end.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully obtained a villa in Xiangxi Meidi!"
"Current mission requirement: Bring a woman you've never met before into the villa. Follow system prompts for the next step!"
Hearing this prompt—and the fact that a whole villa was being given for free—Xu Changqing was stunned.
"What kind of shitty system is this? This isn't a blind date system! It's clearly a tycoon system!"
He was excited, but still wanted a car to drive.
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai! Is there a way to get me a sports car?"
Back when everyone thought he was crazy, Xu Changqing had actually been dealing with Xiao Ai the whole time.
"Sorry, Host. The Blind Date System does not give mission rewards of that type."
Xiao Ai really was mysterious.
Since Xiao Ai said that, Xu Changqing had no choice but to give up for now and head to the villa at Xiangxi Meidi.
Xiao Ran had brought him back here, but obviously everything looked even nicer than before.
"Didn't expect the Love Apartment near Zhantai Lake Bridge… it's about to become history."
"As for work… I'll wait for my parents to get here before deciding."
Using the free time, he wanted to figure out exactly how this Blind Date System worked.
"Hello? Huahua, it's me."
"Yeah, I'm awake. By the way, I need to borrow your car. Where are you?"
Xu Changqing called Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran was shocked at first, then happy.
"I'm at Ao Group. Come here! You can pick any car in the underground parking lot!"
"If you like one, I'll just give it to you!"
Xiao Ran was generous—well, only toward Xu Changqing.
"Alright, we'll talk when I get there! I've got things to handle first."
Xiao Ran was taking notes for a meeting, but he still answered Xu Changqing's call in front of everyone.
"Director Xiao, how many times have I said this? Silence your phone during meetings!"
Gu Tianhe had been feeling himself lately—after Chairman Xiao Shengwei authorized 50 million yuan, he felt like an emperor.
"Is it your turn to talk?"
Xiao Ran completely ignored Gu Tianhe's pretentious attitude. If Xu Changqing was coming, he couldn't care less about this meeting.
"Enough, Gu! Don't make a scene."
"Xiao Ran, the meeting minutes are important. If you have something urgent, handle it first."
Gu Tianhe played bad cop, while Xiao Shengwei played good cop.
"It's fine. Let's continue the meeting."
Xiao Ran smiled. In his impression, Chairman Xiao Shengwei was never this kind.
Xu Changqing took bus 633 from Zhantai Lake to the Ao Group entrance.
"Didn't expect Huahua to be a real rich second generation…"
If Xiao Ran were here, he would've laughed—rich second generation was just the surface.
His true identity was red third generation.
Only two people in Ao Group knew: Xiao Zheng and Xiao Ran.
"When your eyes squint as you smile…When you drink Coke and fuss around…I still can't forget thinking about you…Missing you, missing you, missing you…"
Xiao Ran's ringtone rang again. He immediately stood up and walked out.
"You all continue. I need to handle something. Xiao Feng, help me take notes."
Feng Xiaoxiao was more than happy—Xiao Ran was the young master of Ao Group!
"Of course, Director Xiao! I'll record everything beautifully!"
Xiao Ran smiled at her, and Feng Xiaoxiao felt like spring had arrived.
"Where are you? I'll take the elevator down to get you."
To Xu Changqing, this was the largest company he had ever seen.
Comparable to Penguin Group.
"I'm at the entrance. The security won't let me in."
Middle of the night, a random guy trying to enter—security letting him in would've been weirder.
"Wait for me. Five minutes."
Xu Changqing tried sneaking in, but security obviously wouldn't let him.
"You sneaky brat, you don't look like a good person."
"Look around. You think this is a place you can enter? No way you know Young Master Xiao!"
Security laughed. Plenty of people tried to get in daily.
"I really know him! He's my brother!"
Xu Changqing was helpless. He really intended to enter through Xiao Ran's help.
"Enough bragging. We'll pretend you're telling us a joke."
Xu Changqing was speechless. Why did they automatically think he couldn't be Xiao Ran's brother?
"Xu Changqing, come in."
Xiao Ran came out and greeted the guards.
"See? This is your Young Master Xiao, right?"
Xu Changqing slung his arm around Xiao Ran's shoulder, chin raised proudly.
"T-this… Director Xiao, we…"
Security looked terrified.
"You were just doing your job. No fault—and even merit. Go to accounting and get a reward. Tell them I said so."
Security felt warmed—Young Master Xiao didn't blame them but rewarded them instead.
"Huahua, why not just fire them?"
Xu Changqing was confused—why reward them?
"Fire them? Do you have any idea Ao Group is under attack from all sides? And I've wasted so much time taking care of you?"
"Now that you're awake, at least you have some conscience, or I would've had to babysit you even more!"
Xiao Ran said grumpily.
"Ao Group has been busy these days, and thanks to you, I've been running around non-stop."
"And I know what you're about to ask—Yu Jingjing already went back to Country M to find a miracle doctor for you!"
Xu Changqing originally planned to ask about Senior Yu Jingjing.
"She went back to Country M? Is she really an assassin?"
He thought about it—so what if he had the Blind Date System and she was an assassin?
"You think she lied?"
"Oh right—during the days you were unconscious, she was the one taking care of you."
"You better think hard about how to marry her!"
Xiao Ran walked ahead while Xu Changqing followed.
"Of course I'd marry her after going home, not in SZ!"
Xiao Ran was speechless.
"And Xu Changqing—why is your hair suddenly white? You nearly scared me to death that day!"
He would never forget the crazy white-haired Xu Changqing.
"I don't know either. I just… wanted to go crazy once."
Xu Changqing didn't want to tell him the truth—Xiao Ran might use him as a lab rat.
"You brat. Luckily you woke up. You must call Yu Jingjing later."
Xiao Ran didn't want to waste time. He still had a board meeting upstairs.
"This is the shutter key for B2 parking. Inside the safe are car keys. Pick whichever you want."
"And don't bring it back. It's yours. Consider it your dowry!"
Xiao Ran handed him the key and left for the boardroom.
"Rich people really speak boldly…"
Xu Changqing took the elevator to B2.
The shutter door was closed—inside was Xiao Ran's supercar collection.
Opening it, he saw… a yellow Ferrari 488!
"Holy—this is worth billions!"
He immediately took pictures for his friend circle.
"Today's parking lot! Brother's private garage! Oh yeah!"
He took selfies beside every car.
Far away in TZ, cousin Qin Xinrui saw the post and shouted for her parents.
"Look! Brother's fine!"
She showed them the photos.
"Xinrui, where is your brother? Why so many cars? Did he get kidnapped?"
Her mother was worried.
"My brother captioned it clearly—it's his friend's private garage. Why would he lie?"
"If you don't believe it, you'll know when we visit him."
"Alright, alright. Go to sleep. Goodnight!"
"Cover yourself well so you don't catch a cold," her mother said.
Her father echoed the concern.
"Honey, we should go earlier. Our son must miss us too."
They hadn't seen him for half a year.
"Let's clean up tomorrow and go to SZ with Zhang Mengmeng the day after!"
They returned to their room.
