Chen Xiao quickly grabbed her hand and said gently, "Xiangjun, it’s just a villa. Why are you so worked up?"
’Just one villa? That’s 9.3 million! Man, do you really have no concept of money?’
"It’s fine, Xiangjun. I bought two, one for each of us. The building has two units per floor, so we can be neighbors just like we are now!"
’He bought two?!’
Zhao Xiangjun’s eyes widened. She rapped herself on the head, and the jolt of pain confirmed this wasn’t a dream.
It wasn’t that he had actually bought two. Rather, as long as Zhao Xiangjun accepted this villa, the system’s task reward would grant him a unit in the same complex and on the same floor. Since there were only two units per floor, it was guaranteed to be the one right next to hers.
It was a long while before she finally calmed down. "Where did you get so much money?" she asked Chen Xiao. "Two villas are nearly 20 million. Do your parents know?"
"Don’t worry, it’s all my own money. I have full control over it."
Seeing she was still skeptical, he continued, "I told you, I’m very rich. I own a whole floor of office space in Yunfeng Building, and I collect two million in rent from it every year!"
She just stared at him without a word, making him a little nervous. ’I hope this doesn’t create distance between us,’ he thought. ’That would make this whole thing not worth it.’
"Xiangjun, are you okay? Even though I have money now, the way we interact can stay the same."
"Why would anything be wrong? I’m just surprised that for a rich guy, you don’t have the slightest air of wealth. You’re still a total dork!"
Her words put him at ease. ’Yep, that’s the same old Xiangjun!’
He pulled her into his arms and murmured, "You’re asking for it, mocking me like that!"
Hmph. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved. While she wasn’t a materialistic person, the way he had unhesitatingly spent tens of millions on her, all while terrified she might refuse... that level of devotion made her heart flutter. Besides, she already liked him quite a bit.
She leaned on his shoulder without a word. The atmosphere under the dim, warm light was exceptionally cozy, and a gentle feeling flowed through her heart.
"DING! Task Complete: Zhao Xiangjun has accepted the villa at Bihu Twin Seals purchased for her by the Host."
[Task Reward 1: Granting Host one residential unit in the same complex, on the same floor.]
[Task Reward 2: Granting Endurance +5, Health +5, Charm +3.]

The great thing about a property from the system, as opposed to a regular purchase, was that it came fully furnished and equipped. He wouldn’t even have to buy his own toilet seat cover!
The property deed was already processed and waiting in his mailbox. He could just grab it on his way out.
He was most excited about the +5 to Endurance. As a man, it was a huge confidence booster. And a confident man is naturally charming—he wondered if the +3 to Charm was related.
As for the +5 to Health, he felt a warm current surge through him. His whole body felt instantly refreshed, and it was as if his chronic neck pain had vanished in an instant!
He checked his system panel:

’That’s a gorgeous stat sheet. I’m pretty much set for life!’
"Oh, right, Xiangjun, I also bought you a car. One that’s perfect for you!"
After the shock of the villa, a car barely registered. She’d never cared much for material possessions anyway. She just hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "What do you mean, ’a car that’s perfect for me’?"
"It’s a car with smart-driving capabilities. It can drive itself from the parking garage here to the one at your office. All you have to do is rest your hand on the steering wheel."
"So what you’re saying is my driving sucks, and that’s why a car that drives itself is ’perfect for me’!"
She shot him a sideways glance so seductive it nearly stole his soul.
"That’s not what I meant! But you should still get some practice. We can find some time to work on your driving in the next few days."
"Mmm... Chen Xiao, I’m tired."
He knew she was kicking him out. Without asking, he planted a quick kiss on her forehead and said, "Get some sleep."
She didn’t react. It seemed she was already getting used to these intimate gestures from him.
On his way out, Chen Xiao stopped by the mailbox to pick up the keys and deed to his own Bihu Shuangxi Villa, along with the keys and documents for the Wisdom Realm R7. Then he returned to his apartment for a wonderful night’s sleep.
The next morning, he and Zhao Xiangjun agreed to check out the villa and pick up the car at Bihu Twin Seals after work. Then, they both headed off to their respective jobs.
He noticed something interesting: he hadn’t set foot in the office for two days, yet his daily basic stipend had been issued as usual. In other words, as long as he held his current position, the system didn’t care if he was grinding away at his desk—it was all about the results, not the process.
Realizing this, Chen Xiao knew he could really cut loose from now on. ’A purely results-oriented system? I love it!’
When he got to the office, the first thing he saw was a resentful-looking Ma Jing.
"Brother Chen Xiao, you haven’t been to the office in two days and HR doesn’t say a thing, so how come I get fined 50 yuan for being three minutes late?!"
"Then go land a 15-million-yuan order for the company."
"Fine, I’ll go pay the fine," Ma Jing said, obediently heading to the finance department.
"Chen Xiao’s here..."
"He’s looking more and more energetic!"
"Chen Xiao, want me to set you up with a girlfriend?"
Even on a trip to the bathroom, a crowd of people greeted him. He was in a league of his own at the company now. Even Feng Feifei would practically press herself against the wall to let him pass first whenever they crossed paths.
The cheat-code life of a sales champion: 15 million in orders and a 750,000 bonus in a single week. The entire company was green with envy, their jaws on the floor.
Ever since the people from Inspection Equipment had visited, Yuan Kai had become much quieter around the office. He was either working hard to improve himself, or maybe he was just smearing feces on the walls.
He didn’t bother Chen Xiao anymore, knowing he couldn’t control him anyway and was too lazy to court humiliation. He didn’t even dare to raise his voice when ordering Ma Jing around. His life as a supervisor had become utterly pathetic.
Crucially, even Feng Feifei didn’t seem to care for him much anymore, which made him feel like he was treading on thin ice.
The company was growing, with new faces appearing almost daily. At this rate, they were about to run out of office space. The previous 200-square-meter office had been plenty for about twenty people, but now it looked like they would have to expand or move very soon.
"Brother Chen Xiao, were you out negotiating deals these past two days? You didn’t land another multi-million-yuan order, did you? You did more business in one week than other people do in a year, or even several years! If you keep bringing in deals like this, you’re not a sales champion, you’re a monster!"
"DING! New Task Issued: Host must secure a new order within one week. Reward: 1x Random Gift Pack. The contents of the gift pack will be determined by the task completion rate. An order of 5 million yuan will count as 100% completion."
