How About We Get Acquainted Again?

"Brother Zhang, looking at me is nowhere near as good as looking at your future wife. Where is she? When will you bring her out for us to see?" Bei Wei didn't mind Zhang Yang's jokes.

The main thing was that in her eyes, Zhang Yang had always been like an older brother. There was never any possibility of anything more between them, so she didn't have her guard up around him and felt no distance. If it were any other man with ulterior motives, she would be incredibly vigilant.

Zhang Yang just smiled it off.

Future wife?

The mention of it suddenly reminded him of the blind date he'd been introduced to just yesterday. He had intended to chat with her properly, but looking at it now, yesterday's first conversation would likely be the last.

To be precise, neither of them had really put their heart into it.

Around four or five in the evening, Zhang Yang and Bei Wei finished up their work and began packing their things to head home.

Zhang Yang grabbed his car keys and walked slowly into the elevator with Bei Wei.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for the Japanese feast today." Bei Wei thanked him earnestly inside the elevator.

"What's there to thank? You helped me out too. If you liked it, I'll take you again next time." Zhang Yang didn't think much of it.

"How could I do that? That meal must have cost several hundred, maybe a thousand? If we keep eating like this, your future wife might have something to say about it." Bei Wei waved her hands lightly. "Once I get my paycheck, I'll treat you to a good meal too. To be honest, I'm almost broke this month."

"No need, earning money isn't easy." The elevator stopped smoothly on the ground floor.

Zhang Yang walked out of the elevator and headed straight for his new ride.

Bei Wei pursed her lips in a smile and followed him out, but after only a few steps, she stopped, staring blankly at the back ahead of her.

"Coming? Want a ride?" Zhang Yang stood by the Porsche, opened the door, and looked back at Bei Wei. He saw her standing in the wind, her long hair messy; that habit of hers of drifting off into a daze was truly enough to stir one's imagination.

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

Zhang Yang stood by the vehicle, his ordinary features unable to hide the confidence within. That sudden flash of high spirits actually made her pause for a moment.

"Just picked it up this morning. Come on, I'm still missing a passenger." Zhang Yang waved his hand and got into the car first.

Bei Wei clutched her bag, stunned for a few seconds before she snapped out of it and hurried over.

Inside the car, just as Zhang Yang sat down and buckled his seatbelt, the passenger door opened. Bei Wei sat down, bringing a faint, fresh fragrance with her.

"Brother Zhang, I don't even recognize you anymore."

"How about we start getting to know each other all over again from now on?" Zhang Yang started the engine, and with a light tap on the gas, he felt the steady yet surging power.

The Porsche certainly lived up to its reputation; the power was abundant, and the comfort was excellent.

"In the whole company, it turns out you're the most low-key and unassuming one, Brother Zhang." Bei Wei studied him for a long time; it was truly from this moment that she finally began to see Zhang Yang in a new light.

The confidence a good car gives a man is indescribable. Even a man with average looks can possess a different kind of charm when bolstered by wealth. Not to mention, Zhang Yang had a standard build, and even if his looks were ordinary, he still had the appearance of a man in his twenties.

His appearance wasn't his advantage, but it was no longer a disadvantage either.

Zhang Yang smiled it off and turned on the music.

The rich, immersive sound of the BOSE audio system filled the space. Bei Wei sat in the soft, comfortable leather seat and couldn't help but stretch out her long legs.

Bei Wei's home wasn't far from the company. Zhang Yang took a small detour and dropped her off by the side of the road outside her residential complex.

"Brother Zhang, drive safely!" Bei Wei got out of the car, leaned over by the window, and waved.

"Don't worry, go on in." Zhang Yang waved back and drove off with a flourish.

On the way back, he glanced at the rearview mirror by chance. In the reflection, he could vaguely see that figure still standing by the roadside, watching him leave, motionless for a long time.

Around six in the evening, Zhang Yang returned home and began preparing dinner.

He took out a piece of cod to steam, boiled broccoli with salt, and dressed it with olive oil and soy sauce. His staple food was a cold, boiled potato.

It wasn't exactly delicious, but it was definitely healthy and good for fat loss.

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

After refreshing, the suggestions began to roll in one after another.

"The fastest way is to change your hairstyle!"

"A hairstyle can definitely improve a person's overall image. It has to be a new haircut. Honestly, your current style is so stiff, it has no shape at all!"

"Right, and take off those glasses. Switch to contacts; it makes your eyes look more spirited!"

"Why am I getting so excited? This guy is so efficient, it feels like playing a cultivation game."

Zhang Yang scanned through them. The general consensus was quite consistent: change his hairstyle, take off his glasses, and switch to contact lenses. In their eyes, these were the changes that would yield the fastest results.

Ding!

[The system has adopted a new suggestion.]

Task: Change Hairstyle

Task Content: Please change your hairstyle to improve your image.

Task Reward 1: 3 Experience Points

Task Reward 2: Top-tier Hair Quality (Although you lack a handsome appearance, your hair is jet-black and silky, making it unforgettable.)

[The system has adopted a new suggestion.]

Task: Replace contact lenses

Task Details: Please remove your glasses and select a suitable pair of contact lenses for yourself.

Task Reward: 3 EXP

Task Reward II: Ocular Optimization (includes vision correction, eye shape refinement, and a special effect: when you are lost in deep thought, your gaze will be enough to make others overlook your appearance)

A new task had popped up, and it came with two objectives at once.

Zhang Yang's expression immediately lit up with joy.

Both tasks were exceptionally simple; he could easily secure six EXP points. With these six points, he would only be four away from leveling up, making reaching level three just a matter of time.

At level three, with a daily return of twenty thousand, his income would effectively double again!

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

Upon closer inspection, he could see that his hair was dry and dull, riddled with split ends. Then there were his eyes; long-term glasses wear had left them unfocused, and their shape was far from satisfactory.

If he were to obtain these two rewards?

With top-tier hair quality and refined eye shape, couldn't he just put on a mask and become a "masked heartthrob"?

The accumulation of flaws had created his current mediocre appearance, and by the same logic, the addition of various advantages would surely be the path to becoming a god-tier hunk.

At this thought, Zhang Yang's heart instantly felt enlightened and incredibly refreshed.

Although he had no obsession with becoming handsome, who wouldn't want to turn into a dashing guy popular with the ladies?

Beside him, Zhang Yang's newly purchased phone suddenly chimed.

He glanced at it, feeling a bit surprised; the person who had initiated the message was actually the girl from the blind date he had added just yesterday.

"Sorry about that, I was a bit busy yesterday and we didn't get to chat much. How about this, are you free tomorrow? Shall we meet up?"

At the same time the girl sent the message, his mother Song Wenqin was also pressing him on WeChat.

Zhang Yang understood immediately; the matchmakers on both sides were applying pressure.
