She's My Girlfriend (3rd Update)

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player [Zhu*] for becoming the first player to have a comprehensive combat level exceeding 100,000. He will receive rewards: Achievement +12, Charisma +3!]

There are no extra rewards; the system is being stingy.

But if there are any additional rewards, the other players will probably lose their temper.

Hehe~~~

Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others all looked at me, exchanging knowing glances.

"Hey-hey!"

I grinned, then took out the Dark Cage Ring I had taken off. This thing has maxed out critical hit and damage increase, and also has a Dark Cage control skill.

Unfortunately, this crowd control Burst Skill overlaps with the effects of the Deadly Gravity Field and Star Vine Burst Skill. Since a player's Essence Points is limited in a short time, it is impossible for anyone to release several large Burst Skill at the same time, which results in a waste of resources. As a result, I have only used the Dark Cage Burst Skill a few times.

However, this is a pink ring, which is rare in itself, and it's even more precious because it has a control- Burst Skill.

Give it to the fat guy. The ring doesn't have any attribute requirements, and having a control-type ring will significantly improve his survivability.

Imagine many foreign players rushing towards the fat man. He should be weak and helpless, but if he has this ring, a dark cage will lock the enemy in place, and then he can unleash a barrage of bullets. The situation will change completely in an instant!

"Fatty."

He immediately opened the trade panel and traded the Dark Cage Ring over, while the fat man happily handed over 500,000 Star Coins.

This guy is getting stronger and stronger, with powerful firepower and a consistently high percentage of team damage. He's definitely not short of money now.

Afternoon.

Lin Qingying and Cheng Shuang both had meetings in the afternoon, so they left early.

Ruolin and Kou Mei went boating, Shen Yue picked up Fatty in her CC, and Cai Cai, Bingzi, and the others went for a foot massage. Before they left, I repeatedly reminded them not to get caught, as that would damage the team's image...

In the afternoon, Zhu Ting, Xiao Wen, and the chefs finished their work before they ate.

I sat to the side and said with a smile, "Business was quite good at noon. Keep up the good work and make our Stream City No. 1 a great success!"

Everyone nodded repeatedly, full of enthusiasm.

Just then, a voice came to my ear--

"Ding Han, Ding Han! Are you there? It's me, Xiao Xuanxuan..."

It's that damn Old Ma again!

"Old Ma, this is disgusting, what's up?"

"Our black market just received a Storm Core. You know how powerful that thing is, right?"

"Yes, create a five-minute Phase Barrier, got it?"

"Do you want it?"

Old Ma said, "This thing is a double-edged sword. If you become stronger than your opponent after using it, that's a good thing. But if you become weaker than your opponent after using it, that's a disaster. I feel like you're the most suitable person for this item in the entire Huaining City."

I currently have two Storm Core, but these are the hard currency for open-world PvP, the more the better!

So he laughed and said, "Yes, come right now!"

OK, I'll be waiting for you!

I don't even ask the price when I buy things anymore. What can I do? When you're rich, you can be this capricious.

Upon arriving at the Player Black Market, the S680 was as eye-catching as ever.

The Player Black Market was bustling with activity in the afternoon.

"This way."

Old Ma got up from a sofa in the black market and waved from afar.

"Ding Han, congratulations on your opening!"

Old Ma chuckled, "Is your Stream City No. 1 restaurant any good? I don't have an invitation, so I'm too embarrassed to go and freeload, hehehe~~~"

"You're too kind. You can come and try it anytime."

"No rush, no rush. It's embarrassing to eat out alone."

Old Ma said, "Once I find you a sister-in-law, I'll take her to Stream City No. 1 to try their food."

It seems that Stream City No. 1 won't be able to do business with Old Ma.

"What's the price of Storm Core?" I asked.

"I don't know, this thing hasn't become popular yet."

Old Ma said, "I bought it for 150,000. How about this, I'll sell it to you for 200,000. Anyway, you have the 20% discount from Glorious Comrade, so it shouldn't be too much for me to make a net profit of 10,000, right?"

That's really not excessive.

I nodded immediately, took out 160,000 yuan and handed it to him. "OK, I'll take it."

Storm Core +1, now totaling 3.

Since I'm already here and my storage space is empty, I've decided to just stock up on some weapons.

Finally, the number of Stinger missiles was replenished to 200, and they could be fired at will. In addition, a large amount of the three major consumable resources, namely Explosive Gun, Conqueror bullets, and Medical Box, were also replenished.

He spent 3 million in one go, and his savings reached 26 million.

Afternoon.

Stream City No. 1, General Manager's Office.

This office was designed specifically for me by Cheng Shuang. Although the space is not very large, the overall style is very high, and it is decorated in the same style as Cheng Shuang's office. The window overlooks East Lake, and there are green plants placed by the window, which makes it look very elegant.

I leaned back in my chair and checked the midday water flow.

It's alright. The profit and loss are basically broken even at noon. After all, the main private rooms are used to entertain guests, which is all free. We even have to pay for the food and drinks ourselves.

The real money-making opportunity comes at night, especially in the banquet hall. The R&D department of Yue Ning Group held a team-building event with ten tables, a very high-end event. Each table ordered king crab and geoduck. Shen Man quoted 10,000 yuan per table for the dishes and drinks, which would amount to 100,000 yuan for all ten tables.

After deducting costs such as ingredients, drinks, labor, and rent, the net profit per table at Stream City No. 1 is about 30%-40%, which is quite reasonable, much more so than the more than 50% profit margin of many restaurants.

Even so, the profits are already quite high.

To put it bluntly, restaurants aren't afraid of low profits; they're afraid of having no customers.

"Knock knock~~~"

Someone outside asked, "Is President Ding here?"

Although the voice was deliberately disguised, it was clearly Lu Xiaobei's.

"Lu Xiaobei, come in here!"

She pushed open the door, took off her sunglasses, and chuckled, "My promotional efforts have been pretty good, haven't they? I've also posted promotional videos for Stream City No. 1 on Weibo and Douyin, and many fans have said they want to travel a long way to come and check it out."

"The promotional efforts are definitely top-notch; the phone lines are ringing off the hook with reservations, and the private rooms for several days from now are already fully booked."

Hehe~~~

As usual, she sat on my desk with her bottom sticking out, patted the surface, and said, "This desk is really impressive. I like it; it's better than the desk at Feiyang Internet Cafe."

"Xiao Bei, is something wrong?"

Knowing her as I do, if she sticks her butt out, something's definitely wrong.

"Something has indeed come up."

Lu Xiaobei grimaced, "It's just my own business. The next concert is in Donghai City, and I'm going to be busy again. Oh my god... I've only eaten at Stream City No. 1 twice already!!!"

"Focus on building your business first; you can worry about food later."

I said speechlessly, "Stream City No. 1 is right here, it's not going to fly away. We welcome you back anytime. Even if there's no table when you come back, I'll arrange for the kitchen to cook for you, and you can go to the lakeside to eat!"

"..."

Lu Xiaobei paused for a moment, seemingly imagining himself by the lake eating a dish of food with steamed buns dipped in the soup, and then immediately gave me a thumbs up.

"Ding Han, you're so good to me. I'm truly your darling!"

"Xiao Bei, you're so shameless!"

"Heh heh, mind your own business."

Lu Xiaobei glanced at the time. "I have to go back to the company headquarters in BH City first. My flight is in two hours. Would you consider giving me a ride?"

"We've been through security for almost two hours, and you're still chatting away?!"

I jumped up, grabbed my keys, and yelled, "Let's get going!"

Hahaha~~~

Lu Xiaobei followed me, and I don't know why he kept smiling like an idiot.

They got in the car and sped away.

Arrive at the airport within half an hour and escort Lu Xiaobei through security.

Right after we passed through security, she took off her sunglasses, turned around, and looked at me.

This is bad!

Here we go again!

"Ding Han, I'm leaving now. Remember to miss me!"

She waved her sunglasses, laughing and shouting loudly.

This person is so recognizable. With her pink hair and casual clothes, she looks almost exactly the same as she does on stage at concerts, and many people recognized her immediately.

In the next few seconds after recognizing Lu Xiaobei, their eyes quickly darted around, searching the crowd for the person Lu Xiaobei had spoken to.

As for me, I have long since quietly disappeared into the vast sea of people, concealing my achievements and fame.

Return to Stream City No. 1.

Starting at 4:30, Stream City No. 1 became busy again.

The ten tables of dishes prepared by Yue Ning Group in the banquet hall were of utmost importance, and I repeatedly emphasized that there must be no mistakes.

So, in addition to personally cooking, Lao Chen also had to supervise the work of the other chefs to ensure that there were no problems whatsoever. As for the ingredients and seasonings, there was absolutely no way there could be any issues. After all, as the boss, I was also eating at Stream City No. 1, which was the same as the emperor guarding the country's gate.

At 5:30, people from the R&D department of Yue Ning Group arrived one after another.

I stood at the door to personally greet them.

Fang Tuo pulled a group of programmers aside and introduced them, spitting as he said, "This is the person who wrote the core algorithm." Immediately, the group of programmers looked at him with eyes full of awe.

Lin Qingying arrived a little later.

I was relieved only after Zhang Dayong and I repeatedly confirmed that the banquet hall's sound system and screen were working properly.

Shortly after, a banquet was held for Yuening's R&D department.

Zhu Ting personally oversaw the operation, while Xiao Wen was responsible for serving dishes to Lin Qingying at the main table.

First, Lin Qingying took the stage to speak, naturally thanking everyone for their efforts and saying that the achievements of Yue Ning Mall were inseparable from everyone present, which was a morale-boosting statement.

"Is that the CEO of Yue Ning Group?"

Zhu Ting stood outside the door, her eyes filled with longing. "I've seen her on the cover of an economics magazine, but I never imagined she'd be even more beautiful in person than in photos. She has such great charisma, and she's rich too..."

I was speechless, so I hid outside with her to peek at what was happening in the hall.

Soon after, Lin Qingying announced that dinner was served, and everyone clinked glasses and began the banquet.

Just a few minutes after I sat down at the main table, Lin Qingying noticed my dog lurking outside the door. She then stood up confidently and walked over to me, saying, "Would you like to come in and eat with us? Everyone knows you now."

"No thanks, I won't participate in the R&D department's team building activity. You should eat more."

"All right."

She leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek, then smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to hosting the banquet. There's a raffle and games coming up later."

"Good."

After Lin Qingying returned to her seat, I was left with a dumbfounded Zhu Ting in front of me.

She was in charge of the first floor at noon and had almost no interaction with Lin Qingying, so she didn't notice her.

"President Ding, what exactly is your relationship with Manager Lin of Yuening?"

She's my girlfriend.

Zhu Ting: "Huh???"
