Tao Zhizhi, who just graduated from university, suffered a crushing blow from society! It wasn't just that she couldn't find a job, she was also scammed by an old classmate. "Ding—"...
Tao Zhizhi cupped his cheeks and shook him, saying sweetly, "Fu Aifei, how can you be so cute? I remember coconuts, not lemons, are abundant by the sea."
The photographer nodded repeatedly, bending over and snapping away at the shutter button until he had taken dozens of beautiful photos before raising his hand to give an OK sign: "Alright! Newlyweds, we can go take the next set of photos!"
To help Tao Zhizhi adapt to the pace as quickly as possible, Fu Jue arranged one outdoor and one indoor shoot today. In the following days, the two went to different areas to continue filming, which still exhausted her.
These past few days have felt like a dream to her. The accumulated work brought her back to reality. Looking at the documents that Lan Xin had brought over, she sighed deeply.
Seeing this, Lan Xin teased, "My dear President Tao, President Fu has finally decided to let you go after keeping you around for a week."
"Suddenly I don't want to work anymore." Tao Zhizhi leaned back with a headache and spun around in her chair.
"Good luck, host!"
The long-lost child's voice quickly jumped out as Tao Zhizhi opened up, encouraging her in time. The system had bought her many skins, and now she was wearing a grass skirt, a flower crown, and two flower balls floating in the air to cheer her on.
In Tao Zhizhi's eyes, although it looked a bit comical, the emotional value was still there. She poked the ball to the ground and let it roll a few times, revealing a gratified smile.
One hundred million obediently got up from the ground, his face flushed with anger: "You're not allowed to play like that!"
Knock knock—
"President Tao, the meeting is about to begin!"
The assistant woke Tao Zhizhi up on time, and she picked up the documents and strode out.
Three years later
"Thank you so much, Mr. Tao, for taking time out of your busy schedule to grant us this interview!"
Tao Zhizhi was sitting upright in the reception room, facing Li, a reporter from Qingshui Financial Report. Tao Zhizhi smiled and nodded.
"Ms. Tao, as an outstanding female entrepreneur in Qingshui, could you share your entrepreneurial journey with us?"
"Actually, at the beginning, I was just running a small restaurant, but I was lucky enough to be loved by many customers."
"I've also had the pleasure of dining at Nuan Shi Xiao Pu (a food stall), and the food was indeed delicious!"
Reporter Li also thought of the delicious food in the small shop and couldn't help but swallow.
An hour had passed since the interview began, and the two had been chatting very amicably. Near the end, reporter Li cheerfully asked:
"Is this your husband? He's been handing you things all hour, and his eyes are brimming with pride."
Tao Zhizhi exchanged a loving glance with Fu Jue, took his hand, and introduced him: "Yes, he is my lover and also an outstanding business manager."
"And—we're getting married soon, and you're welcome to come and attend!"
Reporter Li laughed heartily: "That would be a great honor. I wish Mr. Tao and his wife a long and happy marriage!"
The two watched the reporter leave, and Tao Zhizhi instantly slumped onto the sofa: "Fu Fu, I've really made something of myself, even financial reporters are asking me for interviews!"
Fu Jue watched the whole thing. Tao Zhizhi had been sitting upright at first, like a student preparing to answer a teacher's questions. She only relaxed after he "interrupted" her. Fu Jue couldn't help but chuckle: "Zhizhi has managed to grow the company to more than a thousand people in just five years. It's truly remarkable."
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission—financial freedom!]
"Hooray! Hooray!"
"Host, you did it! Haha, you really are the host I chose with a hundred million. I have good taste!" A mature, older man's voice rang in Tao Zhizhi's ear.
"One hundred million? Out of so many voices, why did you focus on this one? And the tone you used to say it was strange." Tao Zhizhi sighed, expressing her dissatisfaction with the new voice from the one hundred million voice.
Yi Yi calmly tugged at his non-existent collar and cleared his throat: "Host, as a successful ruler, you need a steady voice, and I liked it at first listen!"
"Wait a minute, I completed the task but didn't get a reward?"
"Ahem, no, it's because you're already financially independent, host!"
Tao Zhizhi frowned, somewhat saddened: "Are you leaving?"
One hundred million was the key to her turning point in life. Without it, she would not have gotten to where she is today, nor would she have met Fu Jue. After five years of getting along, they had already developed an emotional bond.
"NoNoNo! Our training taught us that we must be responsible for our hosts to the end. Even if I have a new host in the future, I will still be there when you die."
Yibai proudly patted his chest and belly, making a loud thud: "Don't worry, host, I won't leave you for now!"
Tao Zhizhi smiled, clearly in a good mood.
Fu Jue placed a glass of water on the coffee table and pulled Tao Zhizhi, who was staring blankly, onto his lap: "We're flying to Country A tonight, it's a long journey, Zhizhi, do you want to rest for a while?"
That's right, the two have set up their wedding at a private estate in country A. In this country where divorce is rumored to be impossible, the wedding is being held. All their relatives and friends have already been arranged by Fu Jue. If it weren't for this sudden interview, the two would be at the estate right now.
"No! I'm wide awake right now and can't sleep."
In the blink of an eye, the two had boarded a flight to country A. Tao Zhizhi turned her head and fell fast asleep, while Fu Jue whispered, "Could you please give me a blanket?"
Fu Jue smiled gently, carefully covering her with a blanket, and placed a loving kiss on her brow: "Sweet dreams, my bride!"
The long journey was so relaxing that Tao Zhizhi slept so well. She landed as soon as she woke up and instantly revived, joining Lan Xin. Cen Lin took the luggage from her and nudged Fu Jue with his elbow.
"Watch me tomorrow! Brother, my skills are unmatched—I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
That evening, Tao Zhizhi and Yi Xiang were having a late-night chat on the bed with Lan Xin when Lan Xin asked curiously, "Do you know what kind of wedding dress Fu Jue prepared for you?"
Tao Zhizhi still shook her head. Long before the wedding date was set, Fu Jue had already found a well-known designer in Y country to customize a wedding dress and rushed to L country to attend an auction. But he kept it a secret very well. No matter how much Tao Zhizhi pressed him for answers, he kept his mouth tightly shut. Even when he was in a daze, he was unwilling to reveal a single word.
"You kept it a secret so well! You couldn't even get the information out of me with my secret weapon!"
Speaking of this, Tao Zhizhi gritted her teeth, her cheeks flushed red, and threw the down pillow she was holding at someone.
"You dare say that? I can forgive you the first time, but you actually secretly bought me a whole box of them!"
She remembered the mocking look in Fu Jue's eyes when he looked at her, and she felt utterly humiliated.
Lan Xin picked up a cushion in protest, then replied with a playful laugh, "That's all my love for you! How can you blame me!"
They found it fun as they played, using their pillows to determine a winner as they always had, until Lan Xin got tired and cried out, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm so tired—"
Lying flat on the soft bed, the two looked at the ceiling and said, "Wow, time flies! In the blink of an eye, my darling Zhizhi is getting married. Hehe, it's good that I'm still here with her!"
After chatting for a while, there was a sudden silence beside her. Tao Zhizhi turned her head and found that Lan Xin had already mumbled and fallen asleep.
"Zhizhi! Get up and put on your makeup!"
Lan Xin was practically beating drums to echo her actions. It was still dark outside when Tao Zhizhi was pushed into the hair and makeup room by the passionate Lan Xin, mechanically chewing and swallowing her breakfast.
Wow! This is blinding my titanium alloy eyes!
Fu Jue sent someone to deliver the wedding dress to them. Tao Zhizhi put on this elaborate wedding dress, the price of which she didn't know, but it was very expensive, and it perfectly accentuated her slender waist.
After rushing to finish her makeup, Tao's mother came in and personally put the crown that Fu Jue had instructed on on her head. Upon arriving at the venue, as the music started, Tao's parents, just like when she was a child, each took her hand and handed her over to Fu Jue step by step.
"It's even more stunning than I imagined!" Fu Jue bent down and kissed her hand with gentlemanly grace, his eyes filled with affection, and together they completed the wedding ceremony.
