16: Chapter 16: The Mixed-Race Secretary with a 9.5-Point Appearance
Chen Hao set the breakfast down casually and said.
"The location is good, right on the bustling Commercial Street."
"But I don't have that much money. I simply can't afford the rent."
Chen Hao said nonchalantly.
"I've already paid the first year's rent. You just need to sign the contract. Future rent will be up to you to earn yourself."
Zhang Menglu was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that she'd never seen money before, or that she'd never met a Second Generation Rich, but someone like Chen Hao, who spent money for her without a single word, was truly a first.
"You're so good to me!"
She rushed over to Chen Hao in a few quick steps, hugged him, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Right at that moment, a system prompt appeared.
*Ding*
*Zhang Menglu's Favorability has been detected reaching 100*
*System is issuing a special reward*
"Hey, you got it all over my face."
She grinned a silly smile, her mouth full of toothpaste foam, looking both foolish and adorable.
"Go wash up quickly. We have to go sign the contract later."
Zhang Menglu went to the bathroom. Chen Hao rubbed his hands together, ready to receive the body tempering pill, when a progress bar actually appeared.
*body tempering pill generating... Current progress: 0.01%*
*Note: After consuming the body tempering pill, the host's physical fitness will be greatly enhanced.*
This progress was even slower than a certain non-member cloud storage service.
He decided not to worry about it for now. It wasn't urgent anyway.
After the two of them ate together, Zhang Menglu started applying makeup and choosing slightly more formal clothes.
"Do I look good in this?"
She was holding the branded outfit Chen Hao had bought for her at the mall the day before yesterday.
"You look great. Remember to wear stockings. Black stockings would look even better with this outfit."
"I trust your taste."
After getting dressed, she propped her long leg up on a chair. The black stockings slid up from her foot, covering her entire slender, long leg. The whole process was a very pleasing sight.
After locking the door, the two hailed a taxi to meet with CEO Wei. The meeting place wasn't the storefront itself; the previous tenant hadn't vacated the premises yet, so the meeting address was a Starbucks cafe.
Wei Xinglong was an out-of-town investor with a lot of real estate in Jiangcheng. Many storefronts were his properties. Among the clients Chen Hao knew, he was one of the most powerful bosses.
Chen Hao had originally thought that meeting CEO Wei would inevitably involve polite small talk. Unexpectedly, CEO Wei didn't come himself. Instead, he sent a mixed-race female secretary.
Before the secretary even entered the coffee shop, Chen Hao received a system prompt.
*Ding*
*Detected a top-tier beauty approaching within a 100-meter radius*
*Appearance Score: 9.5*
*Attitude towards Host: Curious*
*Conquest Difficulty: Hard*
*Recommendation: Conquer her. Reaching 100 Favorability grants a rare special reward.*
A 9.5-rated beauty had appeared. Although the conquest difficulty was hard, it successfully piqued Chen Hao's curiosity.
The door opened, and in walked a professional beauty. In her right hand was a tablet, her left arm carried an LV bag. She wore a white blouse with the top three buttons undone, revealing a deep, blatant, and surging cleavage.
Below, she wore a black bodycon skirt with black stockings on her long legs. Compared to Zhang Menglu, she was not one bit inferior.
Her high heels clicked on the floor with a *tap-tap* sound. She walked with an air of confidence, turning heads with a 200% rate as she passed by.
As she got closer, he saw she had a standard oval face with very three-dimensional features: big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a small cherry mouth—a classic elf-like beauty. Just one look at her face told you she was mixed-race.
"Excuse me, I am CEO Wei's secretary. My name is Shayiva."
She extended a slender, delicate hand, introducing herself with great poise.
"Hello, hello."
Chen Hao shook her hand.
His guess was spot on. She was indeed a Chinese-Russian mix.
*Ding*
*Goddess has been bound*
*Shayiva*
*Age: 28*
*Height: 175 cm*
*Weight: 59 kg*
*Appearance Score: 9.5*
*Proficiencies: Master-level Russian, Proficient English, Administrative Expertise, Investment Specialization*
*goddess token: Money*
*Current Favorability: 10*
*System Evaluation: Greedy for wealth and pleasure, profit-driven, innately seductive*
*Note: When Favorability reaches 100, an additional rare reward, Golden Eyes, can be obtained.*
Sure, the mixed-race beauty was good-looking, her figure proportions were undeniable, but what did this goddess token, 'Money', mean?
Did it mean he had to make this 9.5-rated, top-tier mixed-race goddess willingly give him money?
High appearance scores really were different. Even the goddess tokens were so special!
Just as Chen Hao's thoughts wandered, a sharp pain shot through his waist.
Turning his head, he saw Zhang Menglu maintaining a smile while secretly pinching him.
Chen Hao immediately snapped back to attention. After inviting Shayiva to sit, he introduced Zhang Menglu as the tenant.
"CEO Wei is currently in a meeting. Today's meeting is very important, so I'll be handling the lease contract on his behalf. Do either of you have any issues with that?"
Zhang Menglu immediately said,
"Let's look at the contract first."
She took the contract out of her LV bag and handed it to Zhang Menglu. The two women began discussing the various terms.
Chen Hao kept observing the two women.
It had to be said, Zhang Menglu, taken alone, was undeniably beautiful with a great figure. But compared to Shayiva, her beauty seemed somewhat inadequate.
Sitting next to Zhang Menglu, Shayiva made her look like a green leaf next to a flower. Not just Zhang Menglu, but even some Female Celebrities on TV paled in comparison.
Shayiva's beauty was breathtaking, the kind men could never tire of looking at.
With such stunning looks and an impeccable figure, any man who saw her couldn't help but steal more than a few glances!
Shayiva also noticed Chen Hao's lecherous gaze fixed on her. She didn't mind, occasionally sending subtle flirtatious glances and making eyes at him.
"I don't have any issues. Do you see anything else that needs attention?"
Zhang Menglu handed the contract to Chen Hao. Only then did he snap out of it and start reviewing the contract seriously.
"The usage time and the time allotted for renovations need to be specified. This part needs some revisions."
Chen Hao offered his suggestions. Shayiva immediately made the adjustments. By noon, after signing the lease contract, the three parties shook hands amicably.
"Once the premises are vacated in the next day or two, you can proceed with the renovations. Pleasure doing business."
"Pleasure doing business."
"Director Chen, before I came, CEO Wei specifically instructed me to tell you something in private."
"I'll see you out."
Leaving Zhang Menglu behind, Chen Hao walked Shayiva out. Standing on the bustling street, she stated bluntly,
"Actually, it's not a very important matter. If you're willing to join CEO Wei's company, I can... let you experience a taste of foreign charm."
After saying this, she handed Chen Hao a pink, perfume-scented business card, giving him a smile that could topple a city.
"Think it over and give me a call."
Shayiva left, and Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
To poach him, CEO Wei was using a honey trap? He really would stop at nothing.
After signing the lease contract, Zhang Menglu dragged Chen Hao along, insisting on going to check out the new shop.
It was a branded clothing store. Because the lease was ending, they had to move out within three days. The store was having a massive clearance sale. As soon as they entered, they were met with a sea of people—dozens of customers frantically shopping inside.
Zhang Menglu loved shopping sprees. Happening upon a major clearance sale, she bought a huge pile of nice clothes, spending several thousand, all paid for by Chen Hao.
