At seven o'clock in the evening, Suiyi changed into a formal dress and got into the car with Lin Xiao to attend the banquet.
Inside the car, Suiyi sat in the back, and Lin Xiao took out a face towel from somewhere and handed it to her.
“?” Suiyi looked at him in confusion.
"Miss Tao, don't you have any self-awareness at all?" Ah Xuan, who was driving, couldn't help but speak up when he saw Sui Yi's puzzled expression.
"What? Is there something wrong with me?" Sui Yi looked at herself. It could be said that this dress was conservative.
"Hmph, the boss means you should cover your face."
"Oh!" Only then did Sui Yi remember her stunningly beautiful face, but although it was beautiful, it still lacked a certain charm compared to her original face, so Sui Yi didn't feel anything about it. Besides, she usually didn't like to dress up, which avoided a lot of trouble.
Suiyi took the towel and put it aside. "By the way, is there anything I should be mindful of at the banquet?"
"No need, do whatever you want," Lin Xiao replied to Sui Yi.
"Oh, so if I kill or set fires, you won't care?" Sui Yi asked with a smirk.
"As long as no one sees that you did it, it's fine!" Lin Xiao's voice was as pleasant as ever, especially when he said those words.
"Good! That's manly enough!" Sui Yi reached out and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.
Lin Xiao turned his head, looking at the hand on his right shoulder, his eyes slightly narrowed. Sui Yi shivered. Looking at the central air conditioning unit beside her, Sui Yi awkwardly lowered her hand. Damn, she'd gotten carried away! "Um, could you tell me about today's banquet?"
"This is a business event, hosted by Zhao's Technology, to celebrate the company's listing. The people invited to the banquet are all well-known entrepreneurs."
"Zhao's Technology? Never heard of it."
"Just follow me for a while."
"Oh! Okay! How much longer? I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get there," Suiyi said casually.
"Go to sleep, there's still half an hour left," Lin Xiao said, glancing at Sui Yi.
Upon hearing this, Sui Yi closed her eyes, preparing to go to sleep. Actually, she wasn't sleeping; she was chatting with the system in her mind.
"Tong'er, do you think I'll encounter my mission target today?"
"That's possible."
"What do you mean by 'possibly'? Can't you give me some useful information?"
"Master, I can only activate the detection system if I reach level two. It's because you're in debt and don't have any points to upgrade me. Sigh! There's nothing I can do."
"You idiot, you're completely useless. I'm asking you, if you encounter a mission objective, can you get any useful information?"
"Your task doesn't require all that. All you need to do is figure out how to steal that person's red underwear, right?"
"Damn, what if they don't have red underwear?"
"Uh, that's your problem!"
"My question? Okay, then I can buy one, throw it in the quest taker's house, and then steal it. Does that count?"
"No, you have to go through it."
"Damn, you have no integrity at all. Don't let me find out who sent this mission, or else..." Before Sui Yi could finish speaking, she heard a cold voice in her ear.
"Wake up, we're here." It was Lin Xiao who called Suiyi. Suiyi opened her eyes. The car had already stopped, and Ah Xuan had already gotten out and opened the car door.
"Oh!" Suiyi got up and got out of the car, but her wrist was grabbed. Suiyi looked over, somewhat puzzled.
"Put this on." He then handed her the face mask.
Sui Yi forgot all about it, thanked Lin Xiao, put on her face mask, and got out of the car. After they got out, Sui Yi reached out and hooked her arm around Lin Xiao's. Lin Xiao froze, but quickly covered it up, though Sui Yi noticed.
[I didn't expect this man to be so innocent!] Sui Yi exclaimed.
"You think everyone is like you, with a head full of lewd thoughts?" the system said, sensing Sui Yi's thoughts.
[Commander, what gave you the courage to talk back to me?]
"Guess?" the system chuckled slyly.
[...]
Ignoring the system, Sui Yi looked straight ahead and followed Lin Xiao to the gate, where the two sons of the Zhao family stood to greet the guests. Upon seeing Lin Xiao, they quickly came over to say hello.
"Mr. Lin, you've arrived. Please come in." Zhao Yundong, the eldest son of the Zhao family, gestured for the two to come in.
"Okay!" Lin Xiao responded simply and led Sui Yi inside.
