How about we get to know each other all over again?

"Brother Zhang, instead of looking at me, you should look at your sister-in-law. When are you going to introduce her to us?" Bei Wei didn't mind Zhang Yang's teasing.

Mainly because, in her eyes, Zhang Yang had always been like an older brother. There had never been any chance of anything romantic between them, so she felt at ease around him and didn't keep her distance. If he'd been some other guy with ulterior motives, she would've been much more wary.

Zhang Yang just smiled.

Sister-in-law?

That reminded him of the woman he'd been introduced to just yesterday. He'd planned to have a good chat with her, but it seemed that their conversation yesterday had been both the first and the last.

To be precise, neither of them had really been invested.

It was around four or five in the afternoon. Zhang Yang and Bei Wei had nearly finished up their work, and they packed their things one after another, ready to head home.

Zhang Yang took his car keys and strolled into the elevator with Bei Wei.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for treating me to that amazing Japanese meal today," Bei Wei said earnestly in the elevator.

"What are you thanking me for? You helped me out too. If you liked it, I'll bring you more next time." Zhang Yang didn't think much of it.

"How could I let you do that? That meal today must've cost several hundred, maybe even over a thousand yuan. If we keep eating like this, your future wife will have something to say about it." Bei Wei waved her hands repeatedly. "Once I get paid, I'll treat you to something nice too. To be honest, I'm nearly broke this month."

"No need. It's not easy to earn money." The elevator came to a smooth stop on the first floor.

Zhang Yang stepped out and headed straight for his new car.

Bei Wei smiled, pressed her lips together, and hurried out after him. But after only a few steps, she stopped and stared blankly at the figure ahead.

"Come on, want a ride?" Zhang Yang stood beside the Porsche, opened the car door, and looked back at Bei Wei. She stood in the breeze, her long hair tousled. The way she kept zoning out really got the imagination going.

"Brother Zhang, is this... your car?" She looked at the car, then at him.

Standing beside the car, Zhang Yang had ordinary features, but an inner confidence shone through. In that moment, his spirited air made her pause.

"I just picked it up this morning. Come on, I'm missing a passenger." Zhang Yang beckoned to her and got in.

Bei Wei clutched her handbag in both hands, stunned for a few seconds. Then she came to her senses and hurried over.

Inside the car, Zhang Yang had just settled into his seat and fastened his seat belt when the passenger door opened. Bei Wei climbed in lightly, bringing with her a faint, fresh fragrance.

"Brother Zhang, I feel like I don't even know you anymore."

"How about we get to know each other all over again, starting now?" Zhang Yang started the car and lightly pressed the accelerator, feeling its smooth yet powerful response.

The Porsche lived up to its reputation. It had plenty of power and was comfortable, too.

"Out of everyone in the company, you're the most low-key, Brother Zhang. You really keep a low profile." Bei Wei studied Zhang Yang for a long time. It was only now that she felt she'd truly gotten to know him all over again.

It was hard to describe the confidence a nice car gave a man. Even an average-looking guy could have a different kind of charm when backed by wealth. Besides, Zhang Yang had a well-proportioned build, and even if he was somewhat ordinary-looking, he still had the youthful air of a man in his twenties.

Looks weren't his strong suit, but they weren't a weakness anymore, either.

Zhang Yang just smiled and turned on the music.

The rich, immersive sound of the BOSE speakers filled the car. Surrounded by the soft comfort of the leather seat, Bei Wei couldn't help stretching out her long legs.

Bei Wei didn't live far from the company. After taking a small detour, Zhang Yang dropped her off by the roadside outside her residential complex.

"Brother Zhang, drive carefully!" Bei Wei got out and leaned down to wave beside the car window.

"Don't worry. Head on back." Zhang Yang waved and drove off in style.

On the way home, he glanced at the rearview mirror without thinking. In it, he could still vaguely see her figure standing by the roadside, watching him go. She remained there, motionless, for a long time.

It was around six in the evening when Zhang Yang got back to his place and started preparing dinner.

He took out some cod and steamed it, boiled the broccoli in salted water, then dressed it with olive oil and soy sauce. For his main, he had boiled potatoes that had been left to cool.

It wasn't exactly delicious, but it was definitely healthy and low in calories.

"The suggestions should be coming in by now, right?" Zhang Yang opened Little Blue Book to check the latest replies.

After refreshing the page, the suggestions started coming in one after another, just as expected.

"The quickest fix is a new hairstyle!"

"A hairstyle can absolutely improve your overall appearance. You definitely need a new one. By the way, your current style is so stiff, bro. There's no shape to it at all!"

"Oh, and take off your glasses and get contacts. They'll make your eyes look brighter!"

"Why am I getting excited too? Bro's so good at following through. It feels like playing a character-building game."

Zhang Yang skimmed through the comments. The general consensus was pretty clear: get a new hairstyle and ditch the glasses for contact lenses. They thought those changes would make the biggest difference the fastest.

Ding!

[The system has accepted a new suggestion.]

Task: Change your hairstyle

Task details: The host must change his hairstyle to improve his appearance.

Reward 1: 3 experience points

Reward 2: Top-tier hair (Though you don't have handsome looks, your hair will be jet-black and silky smooth, leaving a lasting impression.)

[The system has accepted a new suggestion.]

Task: Switch to contact lenses

Task details: The host must take off his glasses and choose a suitable pair of contact lenses.

Reward: 3 experience points

Reward 2: Eye enhancement (Includes improved eyesight and eye shape. Additional effect: When you're deep in thought, your gaze will be captivating enough to make people overlook your appearance.)

Two new tasks had appeared at once.

Zhang Yang was delighted.

Both tasks were exceptionally easy. He could finish them in no time and earn six experience points. With those six points, he'd only need four more to level up. Reaching Level 3 was just a matter of time.

At Level 3, he'd earn twenty thousand yuan a day. That would double his income again!

As for the other two rewards? Zhang Yang looked at himself in the mirror.

A closer look revealed that his hair was dry and dull, with plenty of split ends. And his eyes, from wearing glasses for so long, didn't look bright enough; their shape wasn't very pleasing either.

What if he got both rewards?

Top-tier hair and enhanced eyes. Wouldn't he be able to wear a mask and pass for a handsome masked man?

A pileup of flaws had given him his average looks, and by the same logic, a whole host of advantages could set him on the path to becoming a heartthrob.

The thought suddenly made everything click for Zhang Yang. He felt wonderfully clear-headed.

He wasn't particularly fixated on becoming handsome, but who wouldn't want to become a heartthrob whom girls adored?

The new phone Zhang Yang had bought suddenly chimed beside him.

He glanced at it, a little surprised. The message was from the girl he'd been introduced to on a blind date yesterday, whom he'd just added.

"Sorry, I was busy yesterday, so we didn't get to talk much. How about this—are you free tomorrow? We could meet up?"

At the same time as the girl sent her message, his mother, Song Wenqin, was also pressing him for an update on WeChat.

Zhang Yang understood right away. The people who'd introduced them were both putting pressure on them.
