Xu Chenghao looked disgusted, not quite willing to praise a certain psychopath. He chanted in his heart: this is different. The other party grabbed his pepper to eat on purpose. Even the smuggling across Europe was the accidental product of his careful thoughts.
If it weren’t for the influence of Mary Sue’s halo, he would have failed the mission and still lost three peppers.
So, there was no common ground and no solution!
After Xu Chenghao again solidified his inner hate value, he forgot about the lunatic and checked the third notification.
The completion of the pepper mission had been confirmed, and the mission system was on cooldown time for auto-renewal….. There’s still a cooldown time, huh?
Xu Chenghao frowned at the message: System if I harvest peppers during the cooldown time of the mission, will they not be included in the cumulative quantity and hence counted as ordinary peppers?
[Ding——That’s right, you are very smart. 】
Xu Chenghao grumbled: I am quite clever. On the contrary, your degree of humanization is too lousy.
[Ding – Host, please regard my competency in a proper light and do not deceive yourself].
Xu Chenghao: Oh, I have never seen a system that gives its host a gay king aura! You could just give me a smart perspective eye or something better than this, ah!
【Ding – These are the latter rewards. The host could obtain this excellent reward from the pepper mission because of the over-completion of the task, quantity compensation, plot character participation and unlocking of the Mary sue halo.]
Xu Chenghao: …When you say that I’m even angrier, the excellent reward I finally got has been turned into this by you; it’s poisonous.
[Ding – As long as the host works hard to complete the task, there will be more rewards to claim in the future, please keep up the good work].
Xu Chenghao: ……
That’s all there was to it; what else could he do?
Xu Chenghao could not even air his complaints and could only rub his brows as he thought of the Little Pepper mission.
The Little Pepper 1.0 mission had been officially completed and entered the cooldown time. Currently, Xu Chenghao still had 10 pepper seeds in his hands since the system only collected his results, not the pepper seeds with a 10% success rate.
Xu Chenghao was thinking that even if the results were not included in the quantity accumulation, he could still grow peppers and test how far the aura effect could actually go. So, for the time being, he stopped planting the seeds in the large flower pots in favor of the little yellow duck flower pot. It just so happens that the little yellow duck was easy to carry, and he’d be in more contact with the lunatic because of their cooperation. This was very convenient.
Yeah, let’s do it!
Xu Chenghao immediately gave up planting peppers in the large flower pot and returned to the living room with the watering can. The wall clock was ticking, showing that it was already 2:00 a.m. Xu Chenghao put down the watering can and looked around. His home was a mess, and the person sleeping next door was snoring like thunder.
He couldn’t even bear opening his mouth to yawn. When he yawned, his eyes became watery. He was so drunk and sleepy that he walked to his bedroom dazedly. He decided he’d think about matters tomorrow. For now, all he wanted to do was sleep!
A good night’s sleep.
Today was an important day since it was the commencement of the project. The scheduled meeting time was 9:30 a.m. Jing Yicheng arrived at the meeting room with his team early in the morning, waiting for the meeting to begin.
However, the president and special assistant of the Xu Group were both absent. They didn’t even arrive at the appointed time. The employees of the Xu Group were going crazy, calling the two while trying to appease the other team members.
Jing Yicheng calmly flipped through the contents of the project book, completely devoid of the displeasure or impatience that the crowd had imagined. As long as he didn’t have an opinion, the team he had brought along naturally dared not say anything, either.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Xu group’s employees bombarded the two absentees with phone calls until they finally got to Li Nian. They wailed: “Brother Li, where are you? Why haven’t you and President Xu arrived? What happened? Did you two forget that the project is commencing today? Our partner has been waiting for half an hour!”
The phone was silent for five seconds before a high-pitched voice sounded: “What did you say?!!”
The employees of Xu group were on the verge of tears, “You didn’t really forget, did you?”
Li Nian: “…… It’s useless to talk about this now. Please move the meeting back to 1 p.m. and let them familiarize themselves with the environment of the Xu group. Also, buy lunch for them to make amends. I’ll be there soon!”
“Okay, hurry up and come quickly. It’s best to contact President Xu as well. We’ve not been able to reach his phone till now.”
“Alright, alright.”
Li Nian threw his phone on the bed and staggered to the bathroom with his hangover-dazed head. After washing and changing clothes as fast as possible, he started banging on the bedroom door.
“President Xu! Xu Chenghao!! It’s time to wake up!!!”
There was no movement in the bedroom.
Li Nian twisted the handle, saw that the door was unlocked, and rushed straight in. Lifting the covers off with one hand, he shouted, “Brother, brother, don’t sleep; we are half an hour late for the meeting; we have to hurry to work!!!”
Xu Chenghao was almost dragged out of bed. It wasn’t until his mouth was poked with his toothbrush that he began brushing his teeth and washing his face mechanically. After cleaning up, he walked out of the bathroom and went straight to bed.
Li Nian looked at the sky speechlessly and shouted, “Your little yellow duck has been stolen!!!”
“WHAT!!!” The man on the bed immediately jumped up, his eyes as wide as copper bells.
Li Nian threw the clean clothes at him, “Nothing, now change immediately and let’s head to the company. Today is the commencement of the project, and we are already late.”
Xu Chenghao: “…… Oh.”
After the chaotic waking-up ceremony, the two finally arrived at the company to meet the project team. The two parties had lunch together and then held the meeting afterwards.
Because of the hangover and staying up late, Xu Chenghao was in a very bad mental state. He mostly watched the crowd speak, propping up his head and drinking coffee every once in a while, trying his best to cheer up.
Jing Yicheng sat opposite him and turned his pen, his eyes wandering between the little yellow duck flowerpot and Xu Chenghao’s dark circles, slightly dazed.
That meeting was to declare the official commencement of the project and to analyze and arrange the project’s subsequent steps. The workload was very heavy. As the person in charge, Xu Chenghao not only had to follow the entire project process but also had to coordinate everyone’s work and still make time to manage the affairs of the Xu group. He was simply very busy.
This busy Xu Chenghao could barely remember who Jing Yicheng was and his grudges against him. With his busy schedule, he’d drag Ji Yicheng along to help him manage the project team at times and even entrust important positions to him, causing Jing Yicheng to be surprised several times.
He thought he would get another fat beating when they met today. But it turned out that the other party was surprising, as he said, “separate personal issues from work.”
In this regard, Jing Yicheng was also happy. Whenever he was given a task, he would handle it perfectly, trying hard to wash away his previous viciousness.
As time passed, a tacit understanding quickly developed between them, and they were more comfortable with each other in official matters. Jing Yicheng felt that if this continued, they might turn from enemies with distinct boundaries to friends.
But, it turned out he was overthinking it.
Xu Chenghao turned hostile as soon as he got off work, holding his little yellow duck in silence. Even when they took an elevator together, he acted as if he could not see Jing Yicheng, indifferent to the end.
Jing Yicheng took the initiative to ask, “Still angry?”
Xu Chenghao was unresponsive, holding his little yellow duck as if he hadn’t heard it.
Jing Yicheng: “How about I smash it for you?”
Xu Chenghao slowly looked up.
