Chase Properly

"Huh?" Just as Zhang Yang was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a change in the progress of the system task in his mind.

You need to send Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes to at least three members of the opposite sex who have a 90% or higher level of affection for you.

As expected, the mission progress has increased by one...

Just as expected.

Zhang Yang looked into Lin Jingmin's affectionate eyes and his mood instantly improved.

Since it's Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll just send her a gift.

"Come on, pick one." Zhang Yang took Lin Jingmin's slender hand and pulled her to stand in front of the already opened trunk.

Duns is filled with luxury brands.

"Let me... choose?" Lin Jingmin was surprised, delighted, and even somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, a Mid-Autumn Festival gift," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"So it's customary to give gifts to girls during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Lin Jingmin suddenly smiled happily. "Then... I won't be polite!"

"Feeling sorry for them makes them seem like little dogs." Zhang Yang blinked.

"Then I'll take that one." Lin Jingmin was quite decisive, pointing to the Hermes in the distance. "I've always wanted a Hermes bag, but I've never been able to bring myself to buy one."

"Okay, here you go." Zhang Yang casually took out his bag.

How much did I pay for this Hermes bag back then? Was it over ten thousand or two hundred thousand?

I don't remember.

But it doesn't matter, it's not important. Aren't bags bought as gifts anyway?

Lin Jingmin hugged her bag happily, looking at Zhang Yang with tender and loving eyes.

"Tonight··"

"No plans tonight, I'm busy." Zhang Yang waved his hand.

Although the system didn't explicitly say so, this Mid-Autumn Festival gift box would only be effective if it were delivered today, so he had to hurry and complete the task first.

As for who I go to or who I live with after it's all over, that doesn't matter.

"Alright then." Lin Jingmin was a little disappointed. "How long will you be back this time?"

"That's been long enough." Zhang Yang smiled, walked towards his car, and said, "I'll come find you later..."

"Wait a minute." Lin Jingmin took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and hugged Zhang Yang's neck. "Let's collect some interest first."

Then came a passionate and lingering kiss.

Zhang Yang wrapped his arms around Lin Jingmin's waist and savored the sweet kiss.

Customers coming and going downstairs, employees of Jade Villa Decoration, and passersby—many people noticed the black Cullinan and the two people kissing next to Cullinan, their expressions varying.

Inside a Range Rover not far away, Meng Mingfeng watched this scene unfold, his fists clenching repeatedly before returning to their powerless state, his eyes finally filled with despair.

He himself didn't know what was wrong with him. He clearly didn't lack female admirers, but he was just infatuated with the chief designer of Jade Villa Design.

He clearly saw Lin Jingmin and Zhang Yang, his sister's classmates, shaking Cullinan last time, but he didn't care at all, and even harbored a sliver of hope.

Maybe Zhang is just playing around with her, not really dating her, not in a serious relationship.

But I'm different; I'm completely sincere and absolutely serious.

He certainly didn't dare compete with Zhang Yang, but he deluded himself into thinking that Zhang Yang was just playing around, and that he would still have a chance after Zhang Yang got tired of him and left.

But now... all illusions have shattered into nothingness.

"How come you're still not tired of it...?"

"I'm truly the number one simp..."

He muttered a few words to himself, glancing at the Mid-Autumn Festival gift box the passenger had specially brought, containing things he had carefully prepared. Now, all his efforts had been in vain...

He buried his head in pain, unable to bear looking any longer...

··

A moment later, Zhang Yang waved goodbye to Lin Jingmin, got into the Cullinan, and drove straight away.

Lin Jingmin stood still, watching Zhang Yang's car disappear at the end of the road, before reluctantly turning back to return to the company.

On her way back to the company, she was naturally very curious about the bag she was carrying.

Take the bag out of the shopping bag.

"Is that a crocodile skin Birkin Bag?" Lin Jingmin exclaimed softly, picking up the receipt from the shopping bag as she did so.

The price on the receipt was glaringly obvious and extremely conspicuous.

"Two hundred thousand? This bag is worth two hundred thousand?"

Lin Jingmin's heart pounded wildly, and she couldn't help but hug her bag to her chest as she happily returned to the company.

As soon as I returned to my seat, my colleague came over, giving me a strange look.

"You've got some nerve. It's all over the company. They're saying you and that General Manager Zhang were openly flaunting your relationship at the company entrance, completely oblivious to everyone else..."

She didn't say the second half of her sentence; her eyes were fixed on the bag in Lin Jingmin's hand.

"This is... Hermes? Did Mr. Zhang give it to you?"

"Hmm." Lin Jingmin was clearly overjoyed, but she pretended to be nonchalant in front of her colleagues.

"Could you... let me take a look?" My colleague's voice trembled.

"Go ahead and look," Lin Jingmin said generously, handing over the bag.

Holding a crocodile-skin Hermes bag in your hand is incredibly luxurious; every detail exudes an aura of wealth.

The female colleague, holding the bag, was incredibly envious.

"This Hermes bag... must be very, very expensive, right?"

"I don't know. Whether it's buying things or giving gifts, Mr. Zhang never cares about money, and neither do I. Talking about money when it comes to feelings is so vulgar," Lin Jingmin said with a smile. "Hey? Isn't the receipt over there? Can you check how much it is?"

The female colleague glanced down and her heart nearly stopped.

Two hundred thousand?

This is a bag worth 200,000!

Mr. Zhang's wealth is truly unparalleled; he gives away a 200,000 yuan bag without a second thought, and so on...

She suddenly paused, recalling the rumors her colleagues had just heard.

Could it be that Lin Jingmin and President Zhang are really dating?

"You and Mr. Zhang, you're not really dating, are you?" she asked incredulously.

"Don't spread rumors." Lin Jingmin didn't explain further, took back her bag, but her heart was stirred by her colleague's words, and she felt a sudden surge of joy.

She knew, of course, that Mr. Zhang's feelings for her were just a passing fancy.

But sometimes, while we may know something rationally, we often harbor a sliver of hope emotionally...

My colleague looked on in astonishment and was speechless.

Lin Jingmin smiled and continued working in a cheerful mood, while casually opening one of her private social media accounts.

Nobody knows this account. She usually uses it as a confessional, posting whatever she wants, since nobody knows her anyway.

[Besides mooncake gift boxes, there are also Hermes, double the joy for Mid-Autumn Festival.]

She also took some photos and happily uploaded them.

Before long, the post garnered numerous likes and comments, greatly satisfying Lin Jingmin's vanity.

Don't be surprised. We're all human, not otherworldly beings. It's normal to have a little vanity.

However, as Lin Jingmin casually scrolled through other people's updates, her gaze suddenly stopped.

This is a status update posted by a girl: [I know that's not my moon, but for a moment, the moonlight did shine on me.]

Lin Jingmin didn't know what had happened to her; her finger trembled, and she accidentally clicked "like."

Star City World Commercial Street

The Cullinan was parked quietly by the roadside.

"Meat processing plant? Is this Li Xiaoxuan's new store?" Zhang Yang looked at the store, which was already open for business, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The name is quite fitting."

I casually browsed through local review websites and short video platforms.

He suddenly realized that Li Xiaoxuan's shop was becoming increasingly popular.

Check out the reviews on review websites:

[Completely self-service, huge grill, very satisfying meal, the meat was incredibly fresh and delicious, especially the garlic pork chops.]

[Pure charcoal grilling, unlimited portions... all pre-marinated, I'd definitely go back for more.]

How long has this store been open? It already has hundreds of reviews on Dianping.

Let's look at the sales volume of single-person coupons.

The price is for 91 people, and sales have already exceeded 10,000.

Although not all those who buy vouchers will actually make a purchase, the restaurant's popularity is undeniable. After all, a similarly high-quality barbecue restaurant can easily cost two or three hundred yuan for two people, but here, the price for ninety-one people is definitely a bargain.

Li Xiaoxuan has also put a lot of effort into promoting herself on short video platforms.

There are multiple videos that also provide a simple and direct rebuttal to comments that question her restaurant's food.

Showing off the purchase order: 969 Blue Label Fatty Beef, Shuanghui Fatty Intestines, Anjing Shrimp Cake, Jinluo Pork Ribs, Aofili Lamb Chops, Xichang Miniature Pigs, Liuhe Chicken Wings...

Even if the ingredients aren't top-of-the-line, at a price of 90 yuan per person for a buffet, the fact that they use only branded ingredients speaks volumes.

The money-making strategy, simply put, is to make small profits but increase sales volume.

[We must support the beautiful boss lady!]

[Boss lady, I've tried many barbecue restaurants, and without exaggeration, your place is definitely the top choice at this price point.]

[The place isn't big enough; I've waited in line several times, but the wait was too long, so I didn't go to eat.]

--

Zhang Yang smiled slightly as he scrolled through the comments.

If things continue like this, as long as there's profit to be made, Li Xiaoxuan's shop might actually become very successful.

He looked up, about to get off the bus.

"Where did this Big G come from?" Zhang Yang frowned, just in time to see a black Big G parked at the entrance.

He recalled that there were no designated parking spaces at the entrance. What was the meaning of this car being parked there like that? Was it because it had a nice car that it acted arrogantly?

At this moment, on the second floor of the Meat Factory Barbecue Restaurant.

At a booth, two men were leisurely eating grilled meat.

One of them had his coat off to the side, and his Big G- Wagon key was gleaming on the table.

"Mr. Wang, how is it?" The man took a bite of the grilled meat, looked at the man sitting opposite him, and asked with a smile.

"It's alright, just a casual bite. At this price, you definitely can't compare to those high-end barbecue restaurants," the man called Mr. Wang said with a smile.

"That's not what I meant," the man with the Big G chuckled. "I meant the proprietress here."

"The proprietress?" Mr. Wang suddenly realized, raising an eyebrow. "I was wondering why you dragged me here to eat. So you were after me, huh? Hmm, no doubt about it, stunningly beautiful, incredibly feminine, a real gem."

The man with the Big G glanced at the slender, mature figure in the distance, and said while eating, "I heard... the proprietress is single and divorced. How difficult do you think it will be to get her?"

"How would I know?" Mr. Wang shook his head. "I think... if you're going to pursue her, then pursue her properly. If you're just looking for a fling, don't be so overconfident."

"You're so high and mighty," the man with the Big G scoffed.

A moment later, light footsteps approached; it was Li Xiaoxuan.

"Sir, is the Big G downstairs yours?"

"It's mine, so what?" The man with the Big G- Wagon rubbed the car keys on the table, smiling as he looked at the divorced, single female boss in front of him.

"Sir, it's inconvenient to park your car right in front of the door, could you please move it?" Li Xiaoxuan said politely.

"What's wrong? Is it affecting business?" The man with the Big G blinked, seemingly agreeing readily. "Sure, just a moment, we'll be done eating soon and come down in a bit."

"This..." Li Xiaoxuan glanced at the several plates of untouched meat laid out on the table, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then please hurry."

Li Xiaoxuan had just left.

"Are you kidding me? Why are you pulling this stunt?" Mr. Wang was speechless. "They're open for business, shouldn't you get out and move your car?"

"It was just a little joke." The man with the Big G chuckled, but didn't budge an inch.

Then, he continued to eat the grilled meat slowly and deliberately.

They grilled one piece after another.

Finally:

"If you don't want to move, I'll move it for you." Mr. Wang touched the Big G key on the table.

"Hey, you can't even sit still anymore? You wouldn't... have your eye on her too, would you?" the Big G guy said with a half-smile. "Developed feelings for her?"

"Don't joke with me, it's good enough." Mr. Wang avoided eye contact, somewhat displeased.

"You've never been one to take a joke." The man in the Big G pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth. "Alright, we've almost finished eating. Time to go move the car and add each other on WeChat."

He waved his phone.

"You..." Mr. Wang shook his head and stood up as well.

A moment later, the two left their seats and went down to the second floor.

The man with the Big G glanced at the graceful figure standing at the front desk, put on a smile, and prepared to go over and greet her properly.

You must have been quite impatient waiting for me to move my car, right?

This is called "suppressing first, then elevating," which is sure to leave a lasting impression.

"Wait... something's not right..." His expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the door. "Wait, where did that forklift come from? Who's touching my car?!"

He panicked and ran out in a few quick steps.

Li Xiaoxuan, who was at the front desk, was also taken aback.

"Forklift?"

Outside the store, the man with the Big G- Class was furious.

"Who gave you permission to touch my car?! Where's the driver?! I told you to stop!"

The driver ignored him and continued with his own business.

"Holy crap!" The guy with the Big G was so anxious that he kicked the forklift and even tried to climb on it, but he didn't dare.

Boom!

A moment later, the forklift moved the two Big G cars to the roadside a short distance away and drove off.

"Who is it! Who is it!" Big G shouted, bending down to check for any bumps or scratches.

Mr. Wang also came out and saw this scene, but he didn't know what to say.

"Excuse me, sir, I'm from Star City Plaza Property Management. Your car is parked here, obstructing our normal operations."

Finally, a figure stepped forward and spoke in a businesslike manner.

"It's the property management!" the Big G- Wagon choked. "No, shouldn't you have called someone to move the car first?"

Manager Chen from the property management company glanced at him but didn't bother to acknowledge him.
