Chapter 3

The system was confused. Although it was responsible for the otome game, it was just a string of data and could not understand human emotions.

After thinking for two seconds and realizing that it couldn't understand, it stopped struggling and focused its thoughts on the plot: [Then why did Gu Ci hand over the film and television business to you so casually? ]

Although the game "Surge of Love" is very flexible, the plot development is something the system has never seen before.

[According to character design, Gu Ci is thoughtful and should not have such a reckless character. ]

Qi Zhao heard the system's confused voice, and now he was even more convinced that this was the first time it had connected with a player.

Qi Zhao explained: "He's not reckless, he doesn't take the film and television business seriously at all."

Qi Zhao turned around and looked at the scenery outside through the window. The high-rise buildings that had to be looked up from the ground now looked like toys from the top floor.

There are no thick walls on the top floor of Linchuan Group, instead they are made of highly transparent glass that looks like nothing.

Qi Zhao glanced at the open and unsafe design on the top floor, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled.

"A young and promising business tycoon will receive funds from all walks of life every day, so it is no longer important to him whether he makes money or not." Qi Zhao continued to explain, "He made his fortune from stocks. Then he would definitely prefer a high-risk, high-reward plan to a steady approach. As for the success rate of this plan, he probably doesn't care."

Qi Zhao didn't know what he thought of, and sighed softly: "But I just said. I temporarily aroused his interest with a bold plan. When his enthusiasm dissipates, I might be fired directly. "

Whether it is in the past or in the future, the word "unemployment" still has a strong impact on her. .

The system listened and was truly anxious for Qi Zhao: [What should we do? If you're fired, you won't be able to conquer Gu Ci. 】

Qi Zhao curled his lips when he heard this, and said in a leisurely and contented tone: "Don't worry, I will take him down before he is fired." As

soon as Qi Zhao finished replying to the system, Gu Ci's assistant came over.

The man wears glasses, is smartly dressed, and has an elegant and easy-going temperament: "I am Ye Zhiyuan."

Qi Zhao stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ye Zhiyuan: "Ye Zhu, please give me some advice."

Ye Zhiyuan told Qi Zhao briefly and concisely What she does next. He didn't mention much about the specific content of the job, except that he transferred her from the marketing department to the management department, and her annual salary doubled.

Qi Zhao, who had just heard in Gu Ci's office that he was going to hand over the film and television business to him, was not yet excited to hear Ye Zhiyuan say double the annual salary.

After Qi Zhao signed the contract with a smile that he couldn't hide, he returned to his original work station to pack his things and prepare to move.

Everyone who had come to get off work delayed their departure because of Qi Zhao's gossip. Seeing Qi Zhao coming downstairs, everyone gathered around him.

The boy who had been teasing Qi Zhao in the conference room before saw Qi Zhao start packing his things, raised his eyebrows and asked with a gossipy face: "Did you really get promoted?"

Qi Zhao nodded, grinning from ear to ear when he thought of his double annual salary: "I'm treating you tonight."

Everyone immediately became excited after hearing Qi Zhao's words.

"The boss is so awesome!"

"How about singing? I know the owner of a KTV, and I can give you an inside price!"

"I know a very delicious restaurant, and the wine there is all home-brewed. Do you want me to order it? A table?"

...

Qi Zhao didn't express much opinion throughout the whole process, but his eyes lit up when he heard that a restaurant had home-made wine: "Home-made wine?"

The man took a few steps closer to Qi Zhao and started talking. Juedao: "The self-brewed wine in that restaurant is definitely the best wine I have drunk this year! I heard that the owner used to open a winery, but it closed down due to other reasons, and then he opened a restaurant. After the business got better, He started selling his own wine in restaurants... Oops, I can't describe how delicious it is, but anyone who has tasted it can't say it tastes bad. "

In addition to being in love, Qi Zhao went to college. My biggest hobby is drinking.

When she heard him say this, she could no longer hold back the greed in her stomach.

Everyone also noticed Qi Zhao's obviously interested eyes, so they immediately decided to go straight to that restaurant.

When a group of people arrived at the restaurant, it was just dark and there were not many people inside.

Qi Zhao asked for a private room and didn't read much of the menu, but he looked at the wine list very seriously.

When the wine was served, Qi Zhao realized that the man had not told any lies.

Every kind of wine Qi Zhao wants is so good that she can give up her mission and stay in this world.

It's just that the alcohol content of the wine is not low. After three rounds of drinking, Qi Zhao felt a little dizzy.

"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom first."

Qi Zhao originally planned to get some cold water to wash her face and sober up, but as soon as she took a few steps out of the room, she discovered an area that seemed to be specially built for people to sober up.

The place faces the street, and through the window you can see the dimly lit night scene outside. There is a bench against the wall, and the vending machine next to it contains a variety of milk and fruit and vegetable juices.

Qi Zhao walked over, took a bottle of milk from the vending machine, and sat down on the bench.

The cold liquid slid into his stomach, and Qi Zhao felt a moment of coolness, but as soon as the coolness faded away, Qi Zhao felt that he was even hotter.

She took off her coat, leaned her head back against the wall, and stared out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps coming from far and near broke into my ears, followed by a systematic and formulaic sound.

[Ding dong——]

[Congratulations to the player for meeting the second playable character! ]

Qi Zhao turned around and saw only a gray sweatshirt and a black jacket at first glance.

Qi Zhao raised his head some more before seeing his face.

The boy has strong features and an indifferent expression. The skin is somewhat dark, tall and in good shape. The hair behind the ears and on the back of the head is shaved very short, like thorns.

Those eyes were slightly enlarged after looking at Qi Zhao.

The boy also accidentally discovered a sobering area. When he was about to come over and enjoy the wind, he saw the back of a woman.

"Sorry, I don't know here..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman turned her head and looked over.

They were a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, their eyes were a little misty, covered with a thin layer of mist.

The makeup on her face is very light, but the color is rich. Her long, slightly curly hair lay in front of her body, and her slim-fitting black turtleneck made her face as fair as jade, and the hint of rosy color on her cheeks added a bit of charm to her.

When he saw the woman moving inside, he shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'm here to blow some air too."

The boy who was planning to leave when he saw someone was somehow seduced by this sentence and sat down.

The atmosphere was quiet, but the boy uncharacteristically wanted to take the initiative to talk.

He saw the milk in the woman's hand and asked, "Are you feeling sick to your stomach?"

Qi Zhao looked at the milk in his hand, raised it and shook it in the direction of the boy, letting him see the layer of condensation on the outside. Steam: "This is ice milk."

Qi Zhao smiled at him and explained: "I just drank too much wine, so I wanted to change my taste."

When the boy saw Qi Zhao smiling, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Come to join the drinking party?"

Qi Zhao thought . He shook his head for a moment: "It doesn't count as a drinking party, it's a celebration party."

The boy smiled even more when he heard this. He felt that Qi Zhao was completely drunk: "The celebration party doesn't count as a drinking party?"

"It doesn't count." Qi Zhao remembered it again His double annual salary, he drank a sip of milk and rolled his eyes, "Because it's my celebration party."

Qi Zhao didn't know if he was really drunk, his expression was defenseless, and his tone was innocent and cheerful.

The boy stared at Qi Zhao and was silent for a while before speaking: "...your celebration party? Promotion or salary increase."

"Promotion and salary increase."

Qi Zhao finished speaking and explained himself. He said: "I got promoted, so I want to treat my colleagues to dinner."

The boy smelled the smell of alcohol on Qi Zhao's body, and saw that she looked obviously drunk, so he couldn't help asking: "Why do you treat me to dinner?" "Did you drink so much?"

"I didn't get drunk," Qi Zhao said after denying, "I drink so much because I like drinking."

She looked at the boy and leaned closer, not smelling much from him. The smell of alcohol: "Aren't you here to drink?"

The boy was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Zhao approaching, then shook his head, looked at Qi Zhao and suddenly laughed for some reason, "No, I'm here to give people It's a 'celebration banquet.'"

Qi Zhao responded and laughed after two seconds: "Promoted?"

"It's my birthday."

Qi Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Why do you hide from your friend's birthday? Come out?"

The boy leaned against the wall, put his hands in his pockets and sighed, feeling relaxed: "There are too many people I don't know."

The boy's voice was very soft, as if he was walking in through the window. Night breeze.

The whistle outside the window and the noise of passers-by also became the background sound at this moment.

This kind of atmosphere makes the boys' tense nerves relax a little bit.

It's not necessarily the case with Qi Zhao.

"How's it going? How much has his favorability level increased?"

Qi Zhao asked the system in a tone where he could hear a hint of drunkenness, and every word was filled with eagerness to try.

The system was completely excited after seeing the data, and the sound seemed to explode in Qi Zhao's mind through ten speakers: [Twenty! ! ! ! ! A full 20 percentage points, more than twice Gu Ci's favorability score! ! ! 】

【Qi Zhaoah ah ah ah ah! ! ! You are definitely the player whose popularity with the male protagonist has increased the fastest I have ever seen! ]

Qi Zhao thought that this boy's favorability would be higher than Gu Ci's, but he didn't expect it to be so much higher.

If she can develop at this pace, she seems to see an eight-figure bonus waving to her.

Before Qi Zhao could feel happy for a few seconds, his attention was attracted by a man and woman on the opposite street.

Since this restaurant is famous for its home-brewed wine, several bars have been built around the restaurant to get a share of the pie.

Qi Zhao saw a woman coming out of the bar, taking out a lighter and lighting a cigarette. A man came not far away and wanted to borrow the light, but he had just taken a puff. The two looked at each other through the hazy smoke for a few seconds and then suddenly kissed. got up.

The boy also noticed the movement over there. He glanced at Qi Zhao, who was staring out the window motionless and not knowing where he was floating, and asked: "You think it's strange?"

Qi Zhao came back to his senses after hearing this and shook his head: "You There's nothing surprising about the fact that we both love each other."

Qi Zhao was already more open about relationships between men and women, so he wasn't surprised.

The boy was a little surprised by Qi Zhao's reaction, and asked with a smile: "You seem to think it's normal to strike up a conversation like that."

Qi Zhao smiled: "I think it's normal because it's not called a conversation."

The boy was quiet for two seconds after hearing this: "...Then what do you think is a normal strike-up?"

Qi Zhao thought of his experience in striking up a conversation when he was in college, and said, "At least you have to know the name first."

After all, she had done something that she didn't know. It's like admitting the wrong person by name.

As soon as Qi Zhao finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated. She picked up the phone and found it was a colleague calling.

"Qi Zhao, why did you take so long to go to the toilet? The wine you ordered is here. Everyone is waiting to have a few more drinks with you!"

"Come here."

Qi Zhao hung up the phone and stood up to leave: " I have to go back first."

Qi Zhao raised his feet and just passed the boy's position, when he saw him standing up from the corner of his eye, followed by a pulling sensation on his wrist.

Qi Zhao turned around and saw the neon lights flashing behind the boy, and he smiled brightly.

"My name is Qin Zhuo. Zhuo Zhuo."

Qi Zhao didn't know why he suddenly introduced himself, but he still replied: "Qi Zhao."

"Qi Zhao,

can you tell me your contact information?"
