Li Xian drove off in the G-Wagon with a flourish, leaving Chen Chao standing by the roadside with a dark expression. As the car disappeared into the traffic, Chen Chao muttered under his breath, "What's he showing off for? I drive a Mercedes-Benz too, like I don't have one."

"Who knows where he borrowed the car from, showing off in front of me."

It was clear Chen Chao didn't quite believe Li Xian could afford such a nice car, but his confidence was also visibly lacking. His voice was so low that only he could hear it, as if afraid someone else would overhear and laugh at him.

Compared to Li Xian's Mercedes-Benz G65, his GLC300 really didn't measure up. Not to mention the performance and price difference between the two cars, just the size alone made the GLC300 seem shorter by a head.

It was even more obvious when parked next to the G-Wagon just now; at a glance, it was like a grandfather standing next to his grandson.

Trying to show off failed, and instead he was...

Chen Chao's face was still burning. Thinking that Peng Mengke had been watching nearby, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He had lost so much face.

"Chen Chao, I have to go to work. I just sent you seven hundred via VX, please check your messages." Peng Mengke came up behind Chen Chao.

Chen Chao quickly turned around and said, "I'll drive you back... Wait a minute, I'll drive you right now."

"No, no, it's fine. I'll take a bus back... Thank you for your hospitality today," Peng Mengke smiled and refused. As she spoke, she quickly walked a few steps towards the roadside.

Just then, a bus stopped at the bus stop by the road. Without giving Chen Chao a chance to react, Peng Mengke got on the bus.

"Hey, Mengke, don't go..." By the time he chased after her, the bus doors had already closed and it was starting to move. "What a mess. Mengke, let's keep in touch by phone."

Watching the bus gradually pull away, Chen Chao's expression grew uglier. He fiercely kicked a trash can by the roadside and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, Li Xian, you ruined my good deed!"

He couldn't really blame Li Xian for this. He could only say that his behavior was something Peng Mengke couldn't stand.

He could only blame himself for repeatedly badmouthing Li Xian in front of Peng Mengke and then provoking him face-to-face. If Peng Mengke wasn't stupid, she would have seen that he had character issues.

No matter how well he had acted before, based on this alone, Peng Mengke would not continue to interact with him.

Outside the sales office.

Dong Linlin got out of the car and waved goodbye to Li Xian. The car slowly started and hadn't gone far when a group of young women surrounded her.

"Sister Linlin, what good thing did Mr. Li treat you to? Tell us!"

"Yeah, yeah, let us broaden our horizons."

Dong Linlin glared at them impatiently, "Get lost, get lost, all of you, go back to work... With this much free time for gossip, you could close a deal."

"Hehehe... We're just curious. Sister Linlin, is Mr. Li pursuing you?"

"What a stupid question, it's so obvious."

"Right, we should ask... Sister Linlin, what do you think of Mr. Li? Are you considering him?"

"It's not as complicated as you think, just a simple meal," Dong Linlin said helplessly.

As soon as she said that, the others became even more interested. The more Dong Linlin denied it, the more they suspected something was up.

"Am I usually too nice to you all?" Seeing the eager young women, Dong Linlin put on a stern face and said, "No one leaves tonight. I'm going to randomly check your performance. And who didn't pass last month's evaluation..."

"No, no, no... Sister Linlin, we won't ask anymore."

"Mmm, mmm... We were wrong..."

"We'll get back to work right away, don't be angry."

In an instant, the young women scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace.

Dong Linlin watched their flustered figures and shook her head slightly.

She herself didn't quite understand what Li Xian meant. He seemed to have some interest in her, but during the meal, he hadn't made any clear advances.

What did he want?

Forget it, forget it... Why bother thinking so much?

Dong Linlin had no plans to date anyone for the time being. Even if Li Xian explicitly wanted to pursue her, she wouldn't agree.

Of course, if Li Xian persisted, she didn't know if she would waver.

"Achoo~~~ Who's thinking of me again." Li Xian rubbed his nose and continued browsing Taobao on his phone.

As soon as he returned to his hotel suite, he took out the clothes he bought that day and looked them over. He found that he had tops, bottoms, and shoes, but he had completely forgotten about short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

The weather was about to get hotter, especially in July when the average temperature would be close to 30 degrees. Wearing long pants and long sleeves would be a bit much then.

So, he skillfully searched for the clothes he needed on Taobao and Tmall.

Online shopping had long become a part of people's lives, especially for someone like Li Xian who was too lazy to go out. It was an indispensable part of his life.

He was truly grateful for platforms like Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, and Pinduoduo; they were a blessing for the new generation of homebodies.

While drinking his favorite sugary soda, he browsed online stores and soon placed orders with sports brands like Puma, Nike, and Reebok.

Three Nike short-sleeved T-shirts for 597, two pairs of AJ sneakers for 3198, two pairs of Puma shorts for 256, two pairs of Reebok sandals for 1398, plus various other items like capris, shorts, tank tops, socks, slippers, and underwear, totaling over eight to nine thousand yuan in one go.

Having money was great; purchases started from the ten-thousand yuan mark.

And these were all sports brands; how much could he possibly spend at most?

Unlike those famous rich people who spent tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands on a pair of shoes, or tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands on an outfit.

The various accessories and trinkets on his body were worth hundreds of thousands or millions, and the watches on his hands were worth hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.

Not to mention the various sports cars and luxury homes.

His imagination was still limited by poverty; the path of spending money was long and arduous.

Li Xian, feeling a bit too full of himself, actually went to check his watch. He didn't know how to appreciate watches, but that didn't stop him from buying one to show off. Wearing a million-dollar watch, it felt pretty good to pull out his phone from his pocket to check the time.

Time slipped away quietly. While playing with his phone, it was already four or five in the afternoon. Li Xian had only a few yuan left in his bank card. He opened the System Mission panel and shouted, "I'm out of money, System Daddy! Hurry up and give me my salary."

10,9,7,62,1.

[Ding]

[LV2 Main Mission generated.]

[LV2 Level Main Mission: Spend 50 million, develop a career line. Time limit: 14 days. Automatically accepted. (Countdown started: 13 days 23 hours 59 minutes)]

[Note: Main Missions must be completed within the time limit, otherwise the mission will be judged as failed, and the game will end.]

[Note: The task requirements attached to the Main Mission must be unconditionally completed, otherwise the mission will be judged as failed, and the game will end.]

[Note: Mission funds can be allocated by the Host at will, but cannot be used for illegal activities, arms dealing, drug trafficking, or endangering social security. After the mission is completed, the System will evaluate the Host's score, which will affect the funding amount for the next level.]

"Buzz buzz."

The phone vibrated twice. Li Xian picked it up and saw a deposit notification.

"Your bank card ending in 6664 received a deposit of 50,000,000.00 on June 10, 2014, at 16:55. Current available balance: 50,000,051.56."

Seeing this string of numbers, Li Xian took a deep breath. He was as excited as he had been a few days ago, but more so, he felt relieved.

He was actually a little afraid that System Daddy wouldn't give him his salary. He had only been living it up for two days, and if he couldn't continue to do so, he would be incredibly depressed.

I have money, I have money! With money, how should I spend it!

Li Xian grinned smugly, but he still had to complain about the broken System.

Damn it, it's not playing by the rules.

Shouldn't it be spending 20 million in fourteen days?

The time doubled, why did the money increase fivefold?

And what the heck is this career line? Playing a broken game and increasing the difficulty.

Li Xian cursed as he stared at this career line. Pfft, he was staring at the attached task requirement, "B can squeeze out a career line, C can form a career line, E is a deep valley. Broken System, which one do you want?"

ps: Tomorrow it will be featured on the PC end category hot list, which is like being sent to the execution ground. This week is in God's hands. I don't know if getting the first place in recommendation data can save me. From Sunday to Friday is all torment. I beg all the big shots for your support, I'm begging.
