Qiao Zhen looked at the calendar on her phone. There were still three or four days until her return to China, and the incessant ringing of her father's phone was driving her crazy. Moreover, she hadn't dared to go out these past few days, for fear of running into Chu Zhao.
【Zhenzhen, why don't you just go for it? (〃'▽'〃)】
【impossible! 】
We need to learn to be flexible. He's tormenting you like this; don't you want to get back at him later?
How many candies did you receive from Taibai?
Not...not many (????)
【Um? 】
Okay, one sachet, about 25 pills.
"Give me 24 pills, and I'll submit to Chu Zhao."
【20 capsules(o°ω°o)】
[23 pills.]
[21 pills, is that good or not, Zhenzhen030]
【Alright. 】
Qiao Zhen looked at the brocade pouch that had appeared out of thin air in her hand. She counted it carefully again, and there were exactly 21 grains, no more and no less.
Okay, I'll do it for you with candy beans. I'm a man of my word.
【Mmm (???ω???)】
Qiao Zhen looked through the peephole at Chu Zhao, who was still standing outside the door. She put Tang Doudou into her invisible Qiankun bag. Speaking of which... she seemed to have forgotten to pick up the souvenir from her last mission.
Coming to her senses, she saw Chu Zhao's face magnified through the peephole, staggered back a few steps, and then caught her breath when Chu Zhao couldn't see her before opening the door. "Come in."
Chu Zhao was clearly surprised. He went in, feeling flattered, and then stood at the door, unsure of what to do. Qiao Zhen took out disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet. "Here, remember to close the door after you change."
Qiao was a straightforward person, or rather, she was someone who didn't beat around the bush. When she saw Chu Zhao standing by the table, she raised her chin and gestured to the seat opposite her, "Sit down."
Chu Zhao sat down silently, like a primary school student facing a strict homeroom teacher, sitting upright with his arms neatly crossed on the table, creating an inexplicable harmony.
Many comments flashed across Qiao Zhen's mental screen. She could only pretend to look at Chu Zhao with a deep expression, and then organize her thoughts, "If you are really insistent, I can give it a try with you."
Chu Zhao's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Qiao Zhen, and Qiao Zhen looked at him as well, as if two armies were about to clash and first test their morale.
Qiao Zhen was defeated first. She bent her arms and rested them on the back of the chair, kicking out from under the table. "Hmm?"
Chu Zhao seemed to wake up from a dream. The happiness came too suddenly and he could hardly believe it. "You chose to come to my side, so you have no right to leave."
Qiao Zhen raised an eyebrow, carefully considering the meaning behind his words, "The time limit is a lifetime."
Chu Zhao felt he might be blessed by Lady Luck; otherwise, how could such a good thing happen to him? He clenched his fist on the table, then loosened it, then clenched it again. "I...can I hug you?"
“Okay.” Qiao Zhen nodded, then got up and walked over. She sat down next to Chu Zhao, then opened her arms and hugged him. Feeling Chu Zhao’s tight embrace, she said helplessly, “Relax, okay? We’re both over fifty years old combined. We’ve done everything we could. Don’t seem so naive.”
Chu Zhao rested his head on her shoulder. Although he was already twenty-five years old and a decisive person in the business world, he was still as naive and immature as a young boy when facing Qiao Zhen. "I...I'm so happy. You don't know, I never thought this day would come. Even if you lie to me or deceive me, at least you should deceive me for a lifetime, deceive me for a lifetime."
Having finally succeeded in his rise to power, President Chu walked with a confident stride, his face always adorned with a gentle, warm smile, softening even his previously cold and hard facial features.
[Mission is here! A non-mandatory side quest. 1. Deliver lunch to Chu Zhao for a week (the seven days forming a week are up to the quest members), reward: two candies; 2. Give him a hug every day (except in special circumstances), reward: three candies at the next quest settlement; 3. Show defiance to the slut from Real Group (and let Chu Zhao accidentally see it), reward: four candies.]
Are candy beans really that cheap now?
[No, it's because the target's identity is too high-level. You might not know, but he's—oh, that's a forbidden word. Anyway, compared to the target, Tang Doudou is completely insignificant.]
[Alright, I'll split Tangdoudou's 80% with you, 20%? Any objections?]
【No (*^﹏^*)】
Qiao Zhen made a plate of fried rice with eggs. To show her care, she added ham, cucumber, and corn kernels to the fried rice. Although it was a little burnt, the task only required her to deliver lunch to Chu Zhao for seven days, and there was no requirement for Chu Zhao to eat it.
She was stopped at the front desk because she and Chu Zhao had not made an appointment in advance. Fortunately, the scene in the novel where the receptionist kicks people out did not happen. Qiao Zhen then sat on a bench downstairs and called Chu Zhao.
At this moment, Chu Zhao must end the meeting to answer Qiao Zhen's call, and show a doting and gentle smile. There must be subordinates below who stare wide-eyed in surprise, so as to fully demonstrate Chu Zhao's special love for Qiao Zhen.
Chu Zhao gestured to everyone, "Ten-minute break." After saying that, he stood up and strode into the elevator.
"Zhenzhen!"
"Still pretending!"
The receptionist will definitely be stunned to see this, to show how Chu Zhao treats Qiao Zhen in a special way.
Qiao Zhen handed over the lunchbox in her hand, "Here, this is your lunch."
Chu Zhao's eyes seemed to hold a dazzling galaxy as he looked at Qiao Zhen with tenderness. He took Qiao Zhen's hand and then greeted the receptionist, "She won't need an appointment next time."
