"Boss, didn't you sleep in the office yesterday?"
He Yi, who rushed to work early in the morning, looked at Lou Junxuan, who was covered in cold air, with a blank expression as he walked out of the underground parking lot.
He Yi rubbed his eyes at the elevator entrance, confirming again and again that it was indeed his boss, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Following Lou Junxuan into the elevator, He Yi realized what was happening when they were almost at the top floor. She asked in surprise, "Boss, where did your coat go? Don't tell me you left it in the office. It would be so embarrassing if I didn't see it when I went in."
Lou Junxuan turned around and stared at He Yi intently, making him shut his mouth in embarrassment before nodding and saying, "Having a girlfriend is certainly an improvement. But don't use the same tricks you used on me, or I'll just think you're too idle as an assistant."
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Lou Junxuan stepped out first. He Yi, realizing what was happening, quickly reached out to stop them as the doors were about to close, begging for mercy as he ran.
Back in her rented room, Xiang Wan took a hot shower, then asked her counselor for a few days off and got a membership at a fighting club.
After joining the male model club, the original owner wasn't actually short of money, but he disliked extravagance. Aside from buying some professional books and covering necessary living expenses, he saved everything else.
It's unclear what the original owner was thinking; despite having artistic talent, he insisted on applying for a management major. He put in a lot of effort to get into E University, barely making it in with the lowest score, and is now a sophomore.
To achieve good grades in a subject you're not particularly good at, you absolutely have to put in a lot of hard work. The original owner of this body had to earn money to support herself while also wanting to excel in her studies; the challenge was truly immense.
Her body can handle the constant sleep deprivation and lack of sleep now, but it will definitely cause problems in the long run. She needs to secure her resources before considering anything else.
Besides, it's just an exam. With this system as a cheat code, I'm sure I won't fail.
System: ...This function exists? How come this system didn't know about it?
Of course, it's not about letting the system cheat; it's just about having it play relevant key knowledge points in your mind during evening exercise, which also saves you time from attending classes—killing two birds with one stone.
In the fighting arena, Xiang Wan was not willing to waste a single moment, sweating profusely. Even Coach Wang, who initially did not have high hopes for her, began to take her seriously and teach her real skills.
Cui Shiwan woke up naturally, picked up her phone, looked at it, and dialed her assistant's number.
"Sister Zhang, please order some food for me, and while you're at it, show me the work process from the past few days."
"Okay. Mr. Cui, Guan Xin'an from Lou's Group has already called to ask why we didn't stay at the hotel they arranged. I've already made an excuse to decline. Also, An Bowen, the president of An's Group, has invited you to dinner at Shengting tonight, and Liu Jianping from Green Union Group has invited you to play golf tomorrow."
“I’ve turned them all down,” Cui Shiwan said outright, then added, “If Lou Junxuan invites me personally, just let me know.”
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Cui Shiwan washed up and sat on the bed scrolling through her phone to read the news.
Zhang Jing, accompanied by a waitress, arrived at the door. Just as she was about to knock, she saw Cui Shiwan already dressed up, holding a handbag and ready to leave.
"Mr. Cui, what's wrong...?"
"I'm going out for a bit. Contact me anytime if you need anything. I won't be eating; you can enjoy yourself."
Patting Zhang Jing on the shoulder, Cui Shiwan smiled and walked towards the corridor.
Zhang Jing frowned as she looked at the pile of documents in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she asked the waiter to leave the trolley behind. Then she closed Cui Shiwan's room door, turned around and went into the next room, taking the trolley with her.
Cui Shiwan, who had been waiting at the corner for a long time, peeked out and saw Zhang Jing's figure disappear at the door. She then raised her hand and dialed the phone.
"Find out where Lou Xiangwan is right now. Yes, right now, within an hour."
After going downstairs and eating at a nearby restaurant, Cui Shiwan's phone lit up.
She picked up the message, glanced at it, then deleted it, paid the bill, left the restaurant, and took a taxi to the Owen Fighting Club.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Xiang Wan, who was about to go home, encountered her in the front hall.
"What a coincidence, you're here too."
Cui Shiwan greeted Xiang Wan first, but her surprise didn't quite come across.
Xiang Wan walked over, took her wrist, led her to the corner, and asked in a low voice, "May I take it that you miss me terribly after not seeing me for a day?"
When it comes to men, everything is great, especially their height. In front of Cui Shiwan, who wasn't wearing high heels, she felt like a superior being, and the feeling of looking down on her was very satisfying.
Cui Shiwan took a step back without changing her expression and joked, "Doesn't that mean we're destined to be together?"
With his arm over her head, he pressed it against the wall behind her and said nonchalantly, "I don't think so. It's more like you're deliberately stalking me."
"You're overthinking it." Cui Shiwan glanced to the side, changing the subject. "Do you also like fighting? Want to have a match?"
"Want to see my strength?"
"What, you don't dare?"
"Heh, what's there to be afraid of? I'm just afraid you'll look down on me because I'm a newbie and won't find it fun to play."
How do you know this isn't my first time here?
"intuition."
After a few words, Cui Shiwan got a yearly membership and went to the changing room.
Knowing that she was not so simple, Xiang Wan still wanted to see her strength.
He changed back into his professional fighting gear and stood in the training area, facing a woman who was a head shorter than him, whereupon onlookers gathered.
In fights, most people are men. When a beautiful woman suddenly appears, she becomes the focus of attention. How can people not be interested in watching a grown man fight a beautiful woman?
