Tomorrow Noon, See You There

The reactions of his colleagues were surprisingly uniform; they all took Li Xian's words as a joke, and not a single one believed him.

These women typed at lightning speed, and the group chat immediately had over 99+ unread messages. The teasing was varied and endless, with no two messages alike.

Where was the trust between people?

To be honest, was it easy for me!

Sigh, you bunch of...

Never mind, I won't stoop to your level.

Li Xian rubbed his chubby face. He could actually understand their reactions. After all, the impression he had left on them was deeply ingrained. For him to suddenly claim to be a rich second generation, such a drastic change was unbelievable to anyone.

A wealthy second generation, hiding in a small educational institution, working as a telemarketer for nearly two years, making harassing calls all day, being cursed at endlessly, all under the guise of "training himself"... This kind of unbelievable plot wouldn't even be made into a TV show.

But, this was the reality!

I'm also wronged...

I'm also confused...

After being left to fend for myself by the System Daddy for 24 years, it suddenly tells you one day that you're rich!

What a move... Isn't that infuriating!

"Sigh, suddenly inheriting a family fortune, I'm actually quite desperate... Can you understand my feelings?" Li Xian sent the message and was immediately met with a wave of mockery. He had successfully drawn a lot of hatred.

"If you don't want to take a nap, go make calls. Don't make noise in the work group chat..." The team leader, Guan Yuhan, suddenly spoke.

As soon as she appeared, the group chat became much quieter. It had to be said that this team leader had quite a bit of authority.

Li Xian left the group chat. A few messages immediately came in via private message. Some were from colleagues, which he ignored for the moment. Instead, he opened Guan Yuhan's message.

"Had enough sleep this morning? Hurry up and come to the company this afternoon."

"... "

"What? You want to sleep all day!"

"Boss... You don't believe me either?"

"Believe you about what? Being a rich second generation?"

"Yes, I'm seriously laying it all out."

"Stop messing around, Li Xian. My period is here, and my tolerance is limited."

Uh... A period warning?

Why was telling the truth so difficult?

Li Xian was speechless and had to resort to some unusual tactics. He held up his phone and took a few pictures with a "click.. click.. click..", then sent them out along with his location. "I'm currently in the Presidential Suite of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, room 3908. You can come find me."

"Boring!"

"..."

Li Xian was a bit confused. Others who suddenly became rich desperately tried to hide it and were mistaken for tycoons, while he shamelessly tried to reveal it and no one believed him.

What was wrong with this world? Was he opening it the wrong way?

Li Xian couldn't be bothered to explain further. Just then, a call came in from Sister Gao. He answered it immediately.

As soon as the call connected, Sister Gao's loud voice made his ears buzz. He held the phone a little further away. After she finished yelling, Li Xian began to explain.

He had already prepared his speech, which was similar to what he told Wang Meng. It was essentially that his father had entrusted him with managing things for 20 years, and his father had suddenly come online and told him to return and inherit the family fortune.

Whether others believed these lies or not, he had to believe them himself.

"So... you're definitely resigning?" Sister Gao asked after a moment of silence.

"Mhm... Sister Gao, do you believe me?"

"How can I not believe you?" Sister Gao suddenly raised her voice and said, "If I don't agree to your resignation, maybe tomorrow you'll tell me you're going home to inherit the throne!"

"Heh heh..." Li Xian gave a dry chuckle. That wasn't impossible. If he couldn't spend all the salary the System gave him, he might just buy an island and become its leader.

"Alright... If you don't want to work anymore, I won't force you. Find some time to come and handle the resignation procedures."

"Okay... I'll do it in the next few days. I'll treat everyone to a good meal then."

After hanging up, Li Xian let out a long sigh of relief. The resignation matter was almost settled. His wonderful life was officially entering the next phase.

He sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen to grab a 2L bottle of ice-cold cola. He unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp. The feeling of coolness from head to toe was incredibly refreshing.

These fizzy drinks were the source of true happiness.

Eating, sleeping, playing games, ice-cold cola... None of them could be missing. Without any one of them, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Li Xian carried the "happy water" to the study and sat down in his chair, turning on his computer.

While the computer was booting up, Li Xian lit a 1916 cigarette and opened VX.

He had been so busy chatting in groups and making calls that he almost forgot about something important.

[I think you want to ask me out:(2)Initiate asking you out for a meal - incomplete, countdown 25 hours 10 minutes:20 seconds.]

A day had already passed since this task appeared, and Li Xian had made no progress.

He had sent many messages to tease the target of the mission, but unfortunately, the other party's reaction was lukewarm.

To be honest, Li Xian no longer held much hope for this mission, but the mission time hadn't expired yet, so he wouldn't give up.

He found Dong Linlin in VX and sent her a few messages.

"Have you had lunch?"

"I had a simple bowl of wontons for lunch today, and I don't feel full."

"Seafood soup + three-delicacy beef filling, the taste is not bad..."

After sending the message, he waited for a while. The other party didn't reply, so Li Xian sighed and exited VX.

Sigh, Miss Dong.

Don't blame me.

It's all the System's fault.

It insisted that you ask me out, isn't that forcing me to do something impossible?

There was no other way, so I had to resort to this.

Li Xian knew very well that even if he actively asked her out, she might not agree, let alone have her ask him out. That was a fantasy.

So, he had to use these unconventional tactics. Perhaps stimulating her a little could achieve unexpected results.

However, it was highly likely that she would hate him to the point of grinding her teeth.

He wasn't wrong about this. Dong Linlin glanced at VX during her free time and her expression turned very unpleasant after seeing Li Xian's messages.

If it weren't for the people around, she might have exploded on the spot.

This was too much bullying; people don't do things like this.

Li Xian didn't know how much Dong Linlin hated him. He was already happily farming monsters in the canyon.

It was a pity that he was playing solo and had no one to team up with.

Mengzi was on a business trip and couldn't accompany him, and a few other teammates were at work and didn't have time either.

He played a few boring ranked games and then browsed Bilibili for a while. In the blink of an eye, it was six or seven o'clock.

It was still drizzling outside, and the sky was almost completely dark.

Li Xian stretched lazily and stood up to move around. Just then, his phone suddenly buzzed.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was Dong Linlin's VX.

"Just got off work, haven't eaten yet."

"Oh, there's hope."

Li Xian's eyes lit up. Just as he was typing a message to send, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He deleted it, reconsidered, and finally sent her four words.

"What do you want to eat?"

Dong Linlin: "Japanese food. I've gained a little weight recently, so I need to watch my diet."

Li Xian: "Oh~ Are you coming to see me now?"

Dong Linlin: "Now? Better not. I'm very tired today and plan to go back and rest early."

Li Xian: "Uh... How about tomorrow?"

Dong Linlin: "Mmm~ Tomorrow at noon, I have an hour for my lunch break."

Li Xian: "OK, tomorrow at 11:30 AM, I'll drive to pick you up. Choose a place..."

Dong Linlin: "Okay..."

Li Xian: "By the way, remember to bring money! {smiley face}..."

Dong Linlin: "?????"

Dong Linlin stared blankly at the message. He hadn't replied: What did he mean by asking me to bring money!

ps: Please invest, I'm begging everyone to invest.
