Chapter 11: Eleven Hundred Million "I haven't done anything, why is my favorability so low..."
Xin Jingli could hardly suppress the smile.
Is this card some kind of imperial decree? Not only can you spend money without any restrictions, but it also attracts free lunches. Free is always great!
I was so happy inside, but I had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
She took a sip of red wine and replied calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin. I like this place very much. I haven't had dinner yet. Can you recommend some dishes to send over?"
"OK."
Xin Jingli watched Xiang Dun and the waiter leave from the corner of her eye. After making sure the door was closed, she put down her wine glass and jumped onto the sofa.
“It’s so! Cool!!”
What’s even better than getting rich overnight is the free life of luxury that comes with getting rich overnight!
This is simply the treatment that an emperor receives when he is recognized during his incognito visit!
She waved her pillow, danced and shouted, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then staggered and saw stars...
Tsk, this physique is really annoying.
Xin Jingli rubbed his temples and sat down on the sofa carefully.
The system says that physical fitness can be increased through exercise. There happens to be a gym here, so I might as well give it a try during this time.
Just as she was thinking about it, a group of waiters came in with a dining cart, and the woman in the lead politely called her, "Miss Xin, please go to the dining room and enjoy your meal."
Xin Jingli walked over and the waiter opened the lid. The aroma immediately hit his nose. There were squirrel fish, red wine foie gras, seafood sashimi... There was a wide variety of dishes, covering the entire long table.
“This is all our high-quality dishes, so you can take your time to savor them.”
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the waiter came in to clear the dishes and said, "Miss Xin, the bathtub is filled with water and is kept at a constant temperature. You can take a bath anytime."
"Okay." Xin Jingli leaned on the sofa, feeling dizzy from eating.
I sighed and marveled that everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation was included.
Later that night, she took a rose petal bath, put on soft skin-friendly pajamas, and lay on the soft big bed, kicking her legs with excitement.
Everything felt like a dream.
The next day, Xin Jingli went to the mall to buy clothes.
Most of them are sportswear. I'm weak now, so what if I faint again in a skirt and high heels? It's not safe. I'll wait until I recover and have the staff send it to my villa so I can take my time to choose.
Afterwards, Xin Jingli worked out in the suite's gym in the morning, watched a movie in the suite's cinema in the afternoon, took time for a beauty spa and hair care, and swam in the rooftop swimming pool at night accompanied by the neon lights in the night sky.
After all this work, the oiliness of my facial skin has decreased and it doesn’t look as messy as before.
System update data: [Host name: Xin Jingli
Age: 23
Health: 1
Constitution: 46
Appearance: 46
Charm value: 0
Career: 1
Skills: 0
Enhancement Points: 0
No, I tried hard to change my hairstyle, remove hair all over my body, do hair care and beauty care, and sweat during exercise. I did everything I could, and only then did my appearance score increase by... 1?
If I want to increase it later, won’t I have to get plastic surgery? Forget it, it’s time-consuming and laborious.
Xin Jingli came out of the swimming pool, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and collapsed on the bench, his limbs limp.
I exercise for so long every day, but why doesn’t my physical strength improve at all? Instead, I feel more and more tired?
"Little system, you won't lie to me, will you? I run and swim, why haven't I grown at all?" She asked while rubbing her sore shoulders.
The system popped up and explained aggrievedly: [The host has wronged me. It takes seven days of self-training, six hours a day, to increase one physical value.]
Xin Jingli: ...Then let’s collect favorability points.
Buzz-
WeChat on my phone rang, and it was a message from the company group complaining about my boss.
Why do I have so much work today? It's already 9pm. Can I still leave work?
[That's right, I've already finished my normal workload, why are you still assigning me tasks?]
Because we lost two workers this week, we have to work extra hours.
Where did these two come from?
[When one person leaves, the tide recedes, and those swimming naked are exposed.]
[I'm so fed up. I was thinking of going on a date, but this is a crappy company. The pay is low and the work is heavy. I can't stay here any longer.]
…
In a moment, I received over 999 messages, all complaining about the workload.
At this time, the lights in the company were on. Zhou Xuhui was busy in front of the computer with an expressionless face, even though there was an urging message from her boyfriend on her mobile phone.
"Honey, why are you working so late these past two days? I've been waiting for you at the cinema for an hour, and I wasted two movie tickets."
Zhou Xuhui felt hopeless. She didn't want to leave either. Just as she was about to pack her bag and leave, her supervisor came over with a fierce face and assigned her tasks, refusing to let her leave until she completed them.
"I say, can you please coax Xin Jingli back?" She grumbled to Zhang Ziyang, who was also stuck working overtime. "She's our only pillar of support, and she's very capable. She was the only one working overtime at this time, and now, if she leaves, everyone will suffer."
Zhang Ziyang hadn't been able to accompany his girlfriend for two days. He was already annoyed, and when he heard that Xin Jingli was the pillar of the family, he became even more annoyed.
He glanced at Zhou Xuhui without saying anything.
He is just a bootlicker, and the dumbest one among all his bootlickers. Yet he is called the pillar of the family. What a joke.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Will you die if you send a message to someone?" Zhou Xuhui pushed his arm.
"Get lost." Zhang Ziyang slapped her hand away in disgust.
Asking him to send a message to Xin Jingli for help? He would never do that.
"you……"
"Zhang Ziyang, come in for a moment." Coincidentally, the supervisor called him remotely from the office, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
Zhang Ziyang threw away the mouse, stood up, bumped past Zhou Xuhui's chair and walked inside.
Zhou Xuhui frowned, clicked her tongue, and cursed softly, "Who is this guy? He's like a gangster."
Inside the office.
The supervisor turned the computer around and pointed at the screen. "What a piece of crap is this model you made? I've been here for a year, and this is the level of it."
Zhang Ziyang looked at his awkward work, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He had no way of refutation.
When Xin Jingli was around, she helped him with the details, and he got used to it. He lived in a daze for more than a year and didn't learn anything at all. His abilities remained at the level of a novice graduate.
"Can you do it now? Xin Jingli left and took your brain with him?" The supervisor was so angry that his face turned red.
The last time Xin Jingli openly provoked him in the public office area, he also vowed to fire her, and the company immediately issued a recruitment notice.
But how easy is it to find a slave like Xin Jingli who is quiet, capable, hardworking and has a low salary?
When she left, her subordinates complained bitterly. The supervisor felt sympathy for her and, for the sake of face, wanted to find an opportunity to let Xin Jingli admit her mistake and give her a way out, thus achieving the best of both worlds.
The opportunity was Zhang Ziyang. Xin Jingli only listened to Zhang Ziyang. As long as Zhang Ziyang coaxed him, everything would be easy to discuss.
But Zhang Ziyang didn't think so. "Xin Jingli is nothing. Didn't you say she had to go? Why are you still mentioning her?"
Seeing that Zhang Ziyang didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words, the supervisor felt very disappointed with him. Why did he hire this tactless guy in the first place?
"Okay, she's nothing, then you're even worse than nothing. Go back and work overtime. I want to see what kind of shit you can produce!"
Zhang Ziyang returned to his workstation and pulled his chair, bumping into the colleague's chair behind him with a bang. Everyone looked up and saw that his face was ashen. They probably knew what had happened and buried their heads in their phones again.
When Zhang Ziyang just arrived at the office, several colleagues could no longer tolerate it and created a group called "Cricket Waste Alliance".
[I can't stand him anymore. He's so pretentious and incompetent.]
I used to think he was quite handsome, but last time, when Xin Jingli confronted him, he was immediately stunned. He stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do. His filter was shattered to the ground. He really is a coward and a waste of his face.
[That's right, although Xin Jingli isn't good-looking, she's not ugly either. How could she have hanged herself on a tree, a crooked tree with no ability and bad character?]
[Don't mention it, when Zhang Ziyang first came in, I did sneak a peek at him for a while. He's a bit handsome, but he's too pretentious. Now, in my opinion, his looks are no more than a 3.]
[I'm starting to feel sorry for Xin Jingli, after being deceived by Zhang Ziyang for so long.]
I just took a look at the model he made. Oh my god, Xin Jingli was Iron Woman back then, doing the work of two people.
…
Nearing 12 o'clock in the evening, colleagues finished their work and left one by one, pounding their arms and rubbing their eyes, looking tired. Zhou Xuhui also finished her work and walked into the elevator with everyone else.
"Hey, I just saw that Zhang Ziyang still has more than half of the task left. Do you think he will work all night?" she asked while yawning.
A colleague agreed, "Not necessarily. He's all alone now, so he's probably gone to look for Xin Jingli again."
"No way? I asked him to find it, but he scolded me."
"This kind of man is the most cowardly. He only cares about his reputation. You bet or not, the results we see tomorrow must have been created by Xin Jingli."
Everyone chatted and laughed, and agreed that whoever lost would treat the other tomorrow, and then they each took a taxi home.
Inside the office, it was pitch black except for the light above Zhang Ziyang's head. It was quiet and peaceful. His once sunny facial features had lost their color due to continuous overtime work. Under the sharp overhead light, his facial contours looked as if all energy had been drained away, becoming uneven and jagged.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and opened a WeChat dialog box: [Two days of leave is fine. Now, back to work.]
Xin Jingli, who saw this message, was lying on the bed in the top-floor suite, applying a facial mask and sipping red wine.
Tsk, it's an eyesore, unlucky, and affects my mood.
Xin Jingli ignored him.
After putting down the phone, Xin Jingli suddenly discovered something. The system had never reported Zhang Ziyang's information. Could it be that his appearance was not more than eight points?
No way? Although he was indeed hated, if it weren't for his face, the original owner wouldn't have been so devoted to him.
"Little system, why?" Xin Jingli held up the wine glass and toasted the system.
[Because Zhang Ziyang's character is not good, he does not meet the host's goal of "gaining favor", and also to prevent the host from following the original owner's path and falling for Zhang Ziyang.]
"Bah!" Xin Jingli jumped up in anger. Because she was weak, her chest felt a little painful. She patted her heart to comfort herself.
You still can't be too arrogant now.
"I'm not a fool." Xin Jingli curled his lips and lay back down.
System: [Name: Zhang Ziyang
Age: 23
Height: 183cm
Weight: 70KG
Appearance: 8.1
Poor character
Current favorability towards the host: -80]
-80? How dare he? He hated the original owner so much, yet he still made her work for him? Damn it!
Xin Jingli's facial features wrinkled and he rolled his eyes to relieve his anger.
Over there, Zhang Ziyang looked at the chat box that hadn't been replied to for a long time, his brows furrowed.
Was she asleep? Didn't she see the message? Logically, she would be delighted to see it. Was she already on her way?
Zhang Ziyang began to look through the previous chat records.
Every time he asked her to help with overtime, she replied "OK!" within three seconds, looking impatient.
At the beginning, he complained that the work was too difficult and boring, and he hated dealing with details the most. Xin Jingli would immediately say that she would take care of it and she could do all the work.
It was as if he took his words as an imperial decree.
Zhang Ziyang inadvertently curled up the corners of his mouth.
After reading these chat records, there was still no reply from the other party.
This is the first time that I haven't responded in such a long time.
Zhang Ziyang sighed.
Xin Jingli was about to take a sip of red wine when the system announced: [Zhang Ziyang's favorability has changed. His current favorability towards the host is: -40]
Huh? What's going on? Why did it suddenly increase by 50 points?
Even though it was still negative, it was unexpectedly increasing? And she didn't do anything?
After a while, the system broadcast again: [Zhang Ziyang's favorability towards the host has changed to: -20]
Xin Jingli:?
