Apollo EVO

As noon approached, Bai Xiaomi suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, there's an exhibition at the China International Import Expo this afternoon. Would you like to come along?"

"The China International Import Expo?" Zhang Yang looked at it.

The China International Import Expo (China International Import Expo) has thousands of participating companies, including Fortune Global 500 companies and leading enterprises from various industries. The products and services cover a wide range of categories, including food, consumer goods, and automobiles. Every year, many new products and technologies are launched at the expo.

The company had applied for the visit in advance, Bai Xiaomi just wanted to visit the museum on behalf of the company.

"Why don't you go take a look?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He knew that Bai Xiaomi was simply using the guise of representing the company to visit and see what was going on.

"Chairman Zhang, let's go together." Bai Jingyi gently tugged at Zhang Yang's sleeve. "Aren't you interested in cars? It seems like they've released quite a few new cars at the auto show. Why don't you go take a look?"

"A car?" Zhang Yang chuckled in disbelief.

Okay, I guess I'll go take a look. The company's car procurement plans are nothing new, so it might be good to see what happens; maybe I'll get some fresh ideas.

"Alright."

"Great! Mr. Zhang, I love you! Let's go eat now," Bai Xiaomi said happily.

A moment later, Zhang Yang and Bai Xiaomi walked out of the chairman's office together.

In the large office area, at noon, some new employees who had just joined the company were taking a break and drinking tea in the company's tea and relaxation area.

Many people watched as Zhang Yang and Bai Xiaomi walked out of the office.

"Is that the male god boss you were talking about?" A new female employee couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Yeah, the boss doesn't come often, it's pure luck if you run into him." A colleague chuckled softly, then lowered his voice, "Also, I told you not to look down on Secretary Bai's education behind her back. Take a closer look, do you see anything?"

The newlywed girl looked at it from a distance.

Looking at it this way, although Secretary Bai and her handsome boss seemed to be keeping their distance, as a woman herself, she could immediately see the sweetness in Secretary Bai's eyes and the subtle intimacy between them.

And then, thinking back to those rumors...

"It really is true," she murmured in amazement.

It's no secret that the boss and secretary have an affair, and some people even find it distasteful. However, that's all predicated on the boss being an overweight, middle-aged man.

The boss in front of me is practically a god among men.

They felt no disdain, only deep envy.

"The smart thing to do is to cultivate a good relationship with Secretary Bai. Look, smart people are already calling her 'Sister Jingyi' and 'Sister Bai' all the time."

"Okay, then I'll just have to try to please her more," the girl muttered to herself.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Zhang Yang took Bai Xiaomi to the hotel for a short rest.

After not seeing each other for several months, Bai Xiaomi proudly showed Zhang Yang the results of her workout, such as her clearly defined abs, her slender waist, and her increasingly perky buttocks.

It's clear she's working really hard.

To reward her for her hard work, Zhang Yang naturally treated her well and gave her a reward.

She naturally received a lot.

When they left the hotel, Bai Jingyi's pretty face was flushed and rosy, and she held onto Zhang Yang's arm the whole time.

Later that evening, the two drove straight to the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Qingpu.

Having applied for a visit in advance, the two walked straight into the venue.

Inside the National Exhibition and Convention Center, nearly 400,000 square meters of exhibition space were filled with more than 3,000 exhibitors from all over the world.

The two strolled around, enjoying the atmosphere.

Bai Xiaomi seemed uninterested in cutting-edge technologies and new products, lingering only in the 90,000-square-meter food and agricultural products exhibition area.

Peruvian desert blueberries, Ecuadorian dragon fruit, Australian Angus beef, Granmano estate olive oil, Honduran whiskey and coffee... and importantly, all these vendors' booths offer tasting sessions.

Bai Xiaomi took a bite here and a bite there, exclaiming that the trip was worthwhile. Her once flat and slender waist was now visibly bulging with a round belly.

"Chairman Zhang, Chairman Zhang, should we bring that Malaysian durian ice cream we just ate to the company break area? And that big blueberry, so crunchy and juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite—should we ask admin to follow up on purchasing it?"

"All you do is eat?" Zhang Yang glanced at her lower belly.

Damn it, anyone who didn't know better would think they'd gotten her pregnant.

"Don't look..." Bai Jingyi blushed and covered her lower abdomen, "How will you know if it's good or not if you don't try it..."

Then, she clung to Zhang Yang's arm, begging and pleading.

"How about we bring these brands back to the company? Those fruit snacks are all the same old stuff, and they're expensive..."

"The food here is inexpensive and delicious..."

To be honest, in order not to waste the 100 million yuan of operating funds, Zhang Yang went all out to spend money on all kinds of expenses throughout the company. He didn't even look at small things like food and drinks, and just picked the most expensive ones.

As for whether it was truly worth the price or whether it was really delicious, he didn't care.

"So, you're still contributing to the company?" Zhang Yang asked, amused.

"That's right, it's to save money for the company, um... actually, it's to save money for you." Bai Xiaomi said, clinging to Zhang Yang's arm. "It's not that I like to tattle, but seeing them waste money sometimes really hurts me."

"Okay, whatever you want." Zhang Yang nodded.

Immediately, Bai Xiaomi cheered and tiptoed to kiss him.

After visiting the food and agriculture exhibition area, the two went to another major exhibition hall: the automobile exhibition hall.

This is a hub for global automakers, many of whom launched new products and technologies, and numerous concept cars were also on display.

Bite!

As soon as Zhang Yang stepped into the car exhibition area, a pleasant notification sound suddenly entered his mind.

"What is this?" He walked slowly, but with great surprise.

Congratulations, host! A random event has been triggered: The first person to participate in the China International Import Expo Auto Show.

Event details: Please successfully acquire the most expensive car at this year's China International Import Expo Auto Show: Apollo EVO.

Reward 1: Invisible Umbrella Buff

This buff can be activated at will, with a 100% success rate.

Reward 2: 90% off property voucher (limited to properties valued at 30 million or less)

Zhang Yang paused.

This task...

The task was simple and direct: to acquire the most expensive car at this year's China International Import Expo, the Apollo supercar, hailed as the pinnacle of luxury cars.

To be honest, I didn't buy this car for its performance; I just bought it for its looks.

Looking at supercars around the world, there isn't a single one that can rival the Apollo in terms of avant-garde and exaggerated design.

To put it simply, this car has nothing to offer except for its cool design.

Moreover, since only ten were ever made worldwide, it is truly one of a kind.

As for the reward for this incident...

Zhang Yang was genuinely tempted, which was rare for him.

The second reward is a property voucher at a 90% discount, with a maximum of 30 million. Although this reward is quite substantial, it's just a token gesture for Zhang Yang.

The only reward.

The invisible little umbrella buff really struck a chord with him.

To put it simply, the system can directly grant you a non-existent little umbrella, which you can activate at will, entirely at your discretion.

What does it mean to have a 100% success rate after using it?

Don't even mention those products on the market that claim a success rate of 80%, 90%, or even 99%—that's all nonsense. Even if the success rate of interception is 99.9%, once it hits, it's practically 100%.

This buff boasts a 100% success rate, eliminating all worries.

Zhang Yang is going to be very happy from now on.

"Chairman Zhang, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly seem to be in a good mood?" Bai Jingyi suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Yang.

"It's really good news." Zhang Yang smiled, so handsome it was dazzling. "By the way, next time... I won't wear it, okay?"

"Ah?" Bai Jingyi's face paled.

"What, are you scared?" Zhang Yang looked into Bai Jingyi's eyes with an unchanged smile. "If you're scared, then forget it."

"No..." Bai Jingyi quickly shook her head, then took a deep breath, "What I mean is... okay, I'll just calculate the safe period then."

"What safe period?" Zhang Yang blinked.

"But... what if we get pregnant?" Bai Xiaomi looked a little nervous.

Zhang Yang immediately smiled.

"What are you afraid of? If you're pregnant, just have the baby. Are you worried I'll renege on the promise?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaomi was overjoyed and touched, and she stood on tiptoe to hug Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang hugged Bai Xiaomi and felt like a complete jerk.

Isn't this just taking advantage of the system's buff and promising someone something that can never be realized?

This buff is simply a powerful tool for winning over girls' hearts.

··

Walking through the car showroom, Zhang Yang truly felt the powerful imagination and innovation of today's car companies.

Domestic and international car companies have launched a variety of new technologies and products.

Each car dealer's booth was surrounded by crowds of onlookers.

If he had nothing else to do, Zhang Yang would have been happy to stop and take a look at the new products from these car manufacturers, but the key is that he has other things to do right now.

So he didn't linger and went straight to the Apollo booth.

The Apollo EVO made its global debut at this year's China International Import Expo.

Before even reaching the booth, Zhang Yang saw crowds of people gathered around it, seemingly watching something.

Upon closer inspection, a dazzling orange shadow appeared.

"This?" Zhang Yang was taken aback.

Even though his garage in his Beijing Manor is filled with luxury cars and he owns a private jet, he was still taken aback when he saw the design of the Apollo Sun God EVO.

The design of this Apollo EVO is truly exaggerated and futuristic.

Not to mention its sharp lines, the front features a pair of X-shaped daytime running lights, and the rear has six rows of red LED taillights and a triple exhaust pipe, making it look incredibly wild.

The entire vehicle is also equipped with a complete active aerodynamic system, including a large, deployable and adjustable rear spoiler, air winglets, and prominent triangular air intakes on the sides, along with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis.

Compared to today's supercars, this is an alien creation; it's practically from another dimension.

The legendary chariot truly lived up to its reputation.

Coincidentally, all the staff were there.

Although the manufacturer of the Apollo sports car originated in Germany, it has changed hands several times, and the current manufacturer is a company Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Yang stepped forward and asked, intending to buy it.

"What? There's already a buyer." Zhang Yang frowned, a little disappointed.

While disappointed, he also found it not surprising.

These are among the ten supercars ever made in the world, and their collectible value is incredibly high, so naturally they sell out as soon as they're released. Let alone this one, the other nine are probably already sold.

What should have been a sure thing was a mission, but...

The staff at the exhibition area had limited access and knew nothing else, let alone any information about the buyers.

"Chairman Zhang, are you interested in buying this car?" Bai Xiaomi asked quietly as she approached.

"I can't buy it, it's already taken." Zhang Yang waved his hand, intending to leave first and see if he could find other ways to purchase it later.

There's nothing I can do about it. The other reward is fine, it doesn't really matter.

However, this invisible little umbrella buff may seem insignificant, but it is actually of great importance and even more so related to personal happiness.

It's such a pity to give up like this.

He glanced at Bai Xiaomi beside him, having originally planned to give it a try if things went smoothly.

Now··

···

In the distance, several figures were walking and chatting. One of them, a fresh-faced young man, was Du Xiaochen, who had returned to Magic City with Zhang Yang.

"Xiaochen, could you part with that Apollo?" a slightly chubby young man asked with a smile.

"How much money can you offer?" Du Xiaochen asked with a smile.

"The car costs three million US dollars, including taxes. Name your price." The young man's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. "I really like this car."

Du Xiaochen looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly shook her head.

"No thanks, I won't make an offer either. Don't be envious; if there's a chance in the future, I can lend you my car."

"I knew it all along."

The boy seemed to have expected this, and lightly punched his chest.

After walking for a while, Du Xiaochen suddenly stopped and saw a figure standing in front of the Apollo booth in the distance.

"What is that?"

He looked somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong? Who did you see?" The young man next to him also looked over.

The exhibition booths in the distance were packed with people, three or four layers deep.

Hmm... there is indeed a figure who stands out from the crowd, possessing an indescribable charm and charisma.

"It's alright, let's go." Du Xiaochen shook her head and said nothing.

Later that evening, Zhang Yang returned empty-handed, but he didn't show any emotion whatsoever.

He has become increasingly adept at hiding his true emotions.

Bai Xiaomi, who was by her side, had a truly eye-opening half-day, and was still quite excited.

"Chairman Zhang, tonight..." her eyes were watery, "You don't have to wear it."

"Tonight?" Zhang Yang pinched Bai Xiaomi's cheek. "That's a bit unfortunate, I have plans tonight. How about we reschedule?"

He hasn't even gotten the buff yet, how could he really not wear it?

We'll just have to postpone it for now.

"Alright then." Bai Xiaomi muttered a couple of times, not too disappointed, and simply put her arm around Zhang Yang's arm to get the car.

On his way to pick up his car, Zhang Yang suddenly received a message on his phone.

He glanced at it casually, somewhat surprised.

The person who sent the message was none other than Du Xiaochen, whom they had only met once before.

"What does he want from me?"

Zhang Yang gave a polite reply and was just about to put down his phone.

"[Brother Zhang, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you out for a chat.]" Du Xiaochen stated her purpose directly.

Zhang Yang glanced at it twice and decided to go and meet it.

He always felt that Du Xiaochen seemed to want to talk to him about something.

Sure, where to?

A short while later, Du Xiaochen sent the specific meeting address.
