Chapter 5
"Su Su, he smells so good."
The system looked at Ye Yan, who was gradually shrinking in its field of vision, through the rearview mirror, and its mouth watered. It quickly slurped a few mouthfuls.
"Can we get a share of his luck points?"
Qin Su casually replied, while resting her chin on her hand and playing on her phone, "Of course."
This was her first time taking on a romance-related mission, and to her surprise, the luck value of the mission target far exceeded that of anyone she had ever met before.
She didn't recognize Ye Yan's location by the car at all; she saw the strong aura emanating from him at a glance.
With such a large piece of fatty meat right in front of her mouth, how could she just watch it slip away?
The system was a little worried: "But Ye Yan seems to lack nothing, so how can we obtain his luck points?"
“Everyone has desires, even those who seem to have everything,” Qin Su said calmly. “No rush, let’s slowly uncover his secrets.”
Seeing her confidence, the system felt relieved and gently leaned on her shoulder: "I believe in Su Su."
Qin Su gently stroked its head a few times while smoothing its hair, and the dog purred contentedly, sprawling out on Qin Su's shoulder.
It slowly wagged its tail: "Susu, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to King's Bar."
The cat's ears immediately perked up, seizing the key words: "King's Bar? Susu, you want to go for a drink?"
Qin Su: "No, I'm just picking someone up on the way."
The system asked curiously, "Who are you picking up?"
It has been almost a month since it and Qin Su landed in this world, but they have been in the foggy city the whole time. How could Su Su know anyone in China?
The car stopped at that moment. Before Qin Su could answer, a girl in tank tops and shorts spotted the license plate and ran over to yank open the car door.
She jumped into the car enthusiastically and hugged Qin Su: "Darling, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
Startled, the system meowed and jumped onto Qin Su's head, curling up into a ball and cautiously observing the newcomer.
Almond-shaped eyes, round face, twin ponytails—her appearance is the complete opposite of her personality; she's so well-behaved. Hmm, she looks familiar.
Qin Su hugged her, patted her, and then pushed her away: "Get up, Xiao Xiao, fasten your seatbelt."
Upon hearing the name, the system suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, she's the woman who met Su Su once in Chongqing."
It and Su Su had only been in this world for a few days when they ran into Xiao Xiao, who had lost her handbag, on the streets of the foggy city.
Xiao Xiao couldn't speak the language and tried to get help from people on the street by gesturing. She was almost scammed, but Qin Su helped her.
However, Xiao Xiao returned to China soon after, and the system was unaware that Qin Su was still in contact with her.
After getting in the car, Xiao Xiao chattered away to Qin Su like a lark. The car soon turned onto the front of a high-end beauty salon.
Xiao Xiao was clearly a regular here; as soon as the staff saw her, they took the initiative to lead them into a private room.
The system watched as the two women lay down on the massage bed, chatting and laughing. The beautician began applying serum to their faces, as if they were going to stay there for a long time. The system then asked in a low voice, "Su Su, are you really not going to the Ye family banquet?"
Today's family banquet at the Ye family is quite important. If Qin Su weren't present, Ye Yan would be the subject of all sorts of gossip and speculation in the media.
Qin Su chuckled: "When did I say I wasn't going?"
The system let out a confused "Ah".
Qin Su: "But when to go is up to me."
If everything were done according to Ye Yan's arrangements, what would be the point of her playing games?
"...Ugh, I'm so annoyed by these old fogies." Xiao Xiao lay on another massage bed and complained to Qin Su, "We're all in the media industry, shouldn't we keep up with the development of the internet? They seem to be living in the last century."
"My mom told me to do something big, something special, to intimidate these old fogies. She makes it sound so easy, but where am I supposed to find something big? Do you think I'll ever get a chance to do something big?"
The Xiao family is involved in the cultural and entertainment industry, especially in online media, where they are considered industry leaders.
Xiao Xiao is the only child in her family. She started getting involved in the family business at a young age and officially took charge of the company's affairs this year. Overall, things have been going smoothly, but there are inevitably some senior employees in the company who make things difficult for her.
She desperately needs an achievement to prove herself.
Qin Su was looking through her phone when she suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have some big news for you."
Xiao Xiao thought she was joking and teased, "What big news? Is the overseas-educated beauty returning to China?"
Qin Su patted the beautician's hand, paused the massage, walked to Xiao Xiao's bedside, and whispered something in her ear.
Xiao Xiao's pupils dilated in shock. She sat up abruptly and grabbed Qin Su, asking, "Are you... are you serious?"
Qin Su: "Would I joke about something like this with you?"
Xiao Xiao never expected that simply venting to a friend would lead to such explosive news.
She wanted to ask Qin Su how he knew, but when she thought of Qin Su's identity, she felt it was inappropriate to ask about such a confidential matter, so she swallowed her question.
She was so happy she wanted to jump on the bed, hugging Qin Su and grinning foolishly: "Great, great! Now I can not only gain a foothold in our company, but I can almost become famous all over the world."
"Susu, you are truly my lucky star. From now on, I will never share lucky koi fish images again. I will just look at your picture and worship it while eating and drinking. I will even offer incense to you..."
Qin Su stopped her as she got more and more outrageous: "Come on, even if I agree to this, your ancestors wouldn't agree."
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and grinned sheepishly, revealing her two adorable little tiger teeth.
She sidled up to Qin Su like some kind of small animal, asking expectantly, "How about we give Su Su a gift? What does Su Su like?"
Qin Su smiled and said, "No need for gifts, but I do have something I'd like you to help me with."
Xiao Xiao immediately patted her chest and assured her, "I'll go through fire and water for you, Su Su, just give me your orders."
Qin Su glanced at the beauticians, and the two beauticians, knowing the situation, tactfully withdrew.
Qin Su then said to Xiao Xiao, "The Ye family is having a family banquet today, and there will be media reports later, possibly including video footage. You just..."
Xiao Xiao listened intently, her mouth agape as she spoke: "Su Su, was this... was this something you and President Ye planned in advance?"
The prestigious Ye family truly lives up to its reputation; even when hosting a family banquet, they employ the "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" tactic.
Qin Su smiled knowingly, as if she had just thought of something: "I guess so."
Although Ye Yan was passively cooperating without being aware of the situation, all of his reactions were indeed within expectations.
Her hair was gathered and tied back by the beautician, revealing a fair complexion that glowed like jade under the indoor lights. When she smiled, her red lips and white teeth were stunningly beautiful.
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then murmured, "I really envy President Ye, he's so lucky."
