18: Stunning diva, what are you panicking about?
He didn't know.
After being warned, would Lilac still slip?
If she really did slip... tsk tsk... Chen Yang was a bit worried.
"She won't blame me for having a jinxed mouth, right?"
[Ding!]
[Obtained 10 points. Current accumulated points: 40 points.]
[Keep up the good work!]
These points were so easy to earn!
Seeing the points increase, Chen Yang felt restless again.
Especially after tasting the sweetness of the marrow cleansing pill, he couldn't help but want to try the lottery again.
He decided to act immediately!
"Activate Random Lottery."
[You currently have 40 points and can participate in the lowest tier: Unreliable Level Lottery.]
[10 points will be deducted for each draw.]
[Do you want to draw?]
Hearing the three words "Unreliable Level" gave Chen Yang a headache.
This damn system was utterly useless!
Why create something just to annoy people!
"Draw!" Chen Yang made the decision, holding his nose.
[Ding!]
[Draw complete!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the massage skill, Entry Level: Soul-Captivating Hand!]
[10 points deducted. Current remaining points: 30 points.]
Immediately after, Chen Yang's head felt hot and his hands tingled.
A massage skill had been learned.
"Soul-Captivating Hand?"
Chen Yang was speechless.
What did he need a massage skill for?
To switch to working night shifts?
To become a gold-medal technician at a foot massage parlor or bathhouse?
How much money could he earn per hour?
This skill... was not only useless but also embarrassing.
Chen Yang was disgusted.
What kind of "Unreliable Level Lottery" was this? Not only was it unreliable, but it was also utterly indecent!
He buried his head and slept.
Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast, Chen Yang went to the ward to visit his father, Chen Zhongshi.
Suddenly, he received a call from Han Feixue.
"Mr. Chen, there is something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Chen Yang was slightly surprised.
"Please speak, general manager Han!"
Han Feixue continued:
"I have a close friend named Feng Danqing. She and her fiancé, Chang Xiaotian, started a company together called Changqing Decoration Design Company."
"The two of them are preparing to get married, and Chang Xiaotian is persuading my friend to step down from the company management, go home to support her husband and raise their children, and become a full-time wife."
"This matter seems a little unusual. My friend suspects there's a hidden motive and told me about it."
"So I recommended you to her to investigate Chang Xiaotian."
"We need to see if his love is genuine or if he has ulterior motives."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment.
He hadn't found a job yet.
If he could use the intelligence system to earn some extra money, that would be great.
Otherwise, how could he afford to buy a house and a car?
"Alright, since you trust me, I accept the task."
"However..."
Han Feixue was perceptive and immediately interjected.
"You don't need to worry. I know the rules; the remuneration won't be small."
"How about this: fifty thousand yuan as a preliminary deposit, with additional compensation upon completion of the matter."
"What do you think?"
Chen Yang was delighted.
Fifty thousand yuan?
That amount was quite good!
Investigating one person wouldn't take many days, and he could potentially earn around one hundred thousand yuan.
This rate of making money was very considerable!
"Alright, it's settled then. I will start the investigation today."
He hung up the phone.
Chen Yang greeted his parents and left the hospital, preparing to go to the Changqing Decoration Design Company to scout the location...
Linjiang Feixue Advertising Company.
President's Office.
Han Feixue was chatting with an exquisitely beautiful woman.
It was her close friend, Feng Danqing, one of the founders of Changqing Decoration Design Company.
"Feixue, do you think this person... can handle it?" Feng Danqing clearly lacked confidence in Chen Yang's ability.
He was just a young man.
He didn't even have a formal job, had no foundation in Jiangcheng, and no backing.
Could he possibly uncover the secrets of the general manager of a large company?
They were clearly not people from the same world!
Han Feixue smiled slightly.
"Danqing, don't worry. The person I introduced definitely has no problem with ability."
Feng Danqing was still uneasy.
"Our Changqing Decoration Design Company is currently in a growth phase. If any bad news leaks out, it could affect the company's development..."
Han Feixue smiled reassuringly.
"Chen Yang is very steady and absolutely reliable. He won't speak carelessly."
"Just wait patiently for the good news!"
Feng Danqing nodded slightly.
Between her brows, a faint worry was still hidden.
It was obvious that she didn't think highly of Chen Yang.
If there hadn't been a better candidate available at the moment, she definitely would have swapped him out.
After all, investigating Chang Xiaotian was a major undertaking, concerning her lifelong happiness and the future development of a large company valued at over a hundred million yuan...
On the way to the Changqing Decoration Design Company, Chen Yang stopped by a clothing store and bought several sets of casual wear.
There was no other choice.
After taking the marrow cleansing pill, he had grown significantly taller.
All his old clothes were now a size too small, so he had to buy new ones.
The sales assistant felt complicated emotions.
This young man was handsome and had a great physique, but he seemed to have no money.
The clothes he bought were all cheap.
He was so stingy.
He might be okay for dating, but living with him would be miserable!
What a pity!
Chen Yang paid no mind to the sales assistant's "improper thoughts."
Although he was already worth millions, he still maintained a normal mindset.
He hadn't bought a house or a car yet, so what right did he have to be extravagant?
Actually, as soon as the call ended, Feng Danqing had transferred fifty thousand yuan.
His total assets had already reached 1.3 million yuan.
He was a proper nouveau riche!
Tengfei Building.
19th Floor.
Changqing Decoration Design Company.
Chen Yang stood at the company entrance, carefully examining the company profile on the promotional poster.
Founders: Chang Xiaotian, Feng Danqing.
Employees: 350 people.
Company Assets: 120 million yuan.
Business Scope: Construction, decoration, design, materials, etc.
The promotional poster featured portraits of the founders.
Chen Yang looked at Feng Danqing.
Sure enough... beauties' friends were also beauties.
Han Feixue was peerlessly beautiful, and Feng Danqing was no less stunning.
One was cold and dominant, the other had an elegant and refined temperament.
Then he looked at Chang Xiaotian.
He was handsome, and there was a hint of ambition and dominance in his brow.
At first glance, they certainly looked like a perfect match, a gifted couple.
However, whether they were truly compatible depended on the investigation results.
Chen Yang waited outside the company entrance.
Of course, he wasn't there to peep or loiter, but to engineer a chance encounter.
According to the intelligence system's trigger principle, the deeper the contact with the relevant person or event, the greater the likelihood of obtaining intelligence.
Chen Yang came today precisely to make close contact with Chang Xiaotian.
Perhaps he could trigger today's intelligence and complete the commissioned task within half a day.
Sure enough, after waiting for over an hour, Chang Xiaotian came out of the company, preparing to get onto the elevator.
Chen Yang pretended to be careless and bumped into Chang Xiaotian.
Chang Xiaotian frowned but maintained his usual civility, murmuring, "Excuse me!"
"Are you blind? Couldn't you see me? What rotten luck!" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow and immediately lashed out.
After speaking, he even patted his clothes with his hand, looking extremely disgusted.
Chang Xiaotian's expression changed, and his eyes held a hint of coldness.
He gave Chen Yang a deep look and hurried away.
Watching his retreating figure, Chen Yang was a little disappointed.
He had intended to provoke Chang Xiaotian into trading insults in the street, or even coming to blows.
That way, the contact would be deeper and the entanglement greater, increasing the possibility of triggering intelligence.
Unexpectedly, Chang Xiaotian actually showed some restraint.
He didn't say a single word.
However, the look in his eyes was quite fierce, not like a good person.
With no immediate gain, Chen Yang had no choice but to head back.
As he rounded a corner, a woman wearing a mask and a hat, tightly wrapped up, suddenly bumped into him.
"Sorry!"
"Sorry!"
Both of them blurted out the apology almost simultaneously.
The woman seemed panicked, glanced back once, and immediately rushed away.
[Ding!]
[Today's Intelligence Triggered!]
[Intelligence 4]: The great singer Liu Sisi is being followed.
At noon today, in the underground parking lot, she will be hit by a car.
Chen Yang was greatly shocked!
That masked woman just now—was actually the peerless beauty, the Music Queen... Liu Sisi?
