Chapter 15 We are all fellow sufferers
92 points of happiness.
A two million reward?
Su Jie began to understand the system's patterns.
That is, the higher the status of the triggering character, the better the reward.
The kiss he just gave the woman earned him a lot of points, making him feel great!
He kissed a woman who was worth at least several hundred million!
Sure enough, the bold get rich, while the timid starve.
Be bold as long as the woman doesn't explicitly refuse!
If you don't refuse to hold hands, then hug.
If you don't refuse a hug, then give me a kiss.
Just a series of rounds—the flower of wealth?
Charm boost?
In interpersonal interactions, first impressions are crucial. The more charismatic you are, the better the first impression you make on strangers.
First impression?
The system kept introducing new things, which fueled Su Jie's curiosity.
It seems I need to take some time to study this properly.
……
At seven o'clock in the morning, Su Jie woke up in the luxurious king-size bed of the Niccolo Hotel.
He picked up his phone, which was charging on the bedside table, and sent Xu Qingman a message: "Sister Man, are you up yet?"
I waited for a while, but there was no reply.
Su Jie didn't mind and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Today is May 15th, Wednesday, and it's also the third day since he received the system.
He still has a lot to do.
Without having breakfast, he took the subway to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
He's going to have a full body checkup today.
Treat illnesses if you are sick, and prevent illnesses if you are not sick.
After a series of checks, it was already 10:30.
Suddenly, Su Jie's phone vibrated slightly.
He initially thought it was Xu Qingman replying to his message, but it wasn't.
A cute cartoon little girl avatar, followed by a funny WeChat name: "No temper, only wealth."
It's Shen Ruoxuan!
A light tap revealed a cat emoji spewing profanities.
He tapped lightly and sent a question mark.
Then I received a response immediately.
"Su Jie, you've ruined me!"
"What's wrong?"
"Someone reported me for whispering to you yesterday morning. I just got called into my boss's office, yelled at, and then fired!"
"Are you really fired?"
"Mmm!"
"And you even got scolded?"
"Mmm!"
"Was the scolding harsh?"
"It's alright, I retaliated with my own insults. I cursed him and his ancestors for eighteen generations!"
"Did he settle your wages in full?"
"Settled!"
"Maybe they were afraid I'd ask you for help, so they called over your aunts again?"
"Ha ha--"
"You only make a little over two thousand a month. If it were me, I would have run away long ago without him firing me!"
"This is my first job, so I'm just trying to get by. I'll think about finding another job after I get my diploma."
"When are you going to get your graduation certificate?"
"Next month on the 20th, there's still more than a month to go."
"So what are you planning to do during this time?"
"have no idea!"
"I'm a bit tired from work lately, so I might just laze around in my dorm, or maybe I'll go on a trip?"
Suddenly, Su Jie typed a few words: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Ruoxuan replied with a message: "Do you own a house in Rongcheng?"
"I'm not a local, I don't own a house!"
"I'm not a local either, but I want to stay in Chengdu. My criteria for finding a boyfriend is that he owns a fully paid-off apartment of at least 100 square meters within the Third Ring Road of Chengdu."
"And a car, worth at least 300,000!"
"That way, I'll have face when I go back to my parents' home!"
Seeing the girl openly state her criteria for a partner, Su Jie asked again, "Have you ever been in a relationship before?"
"Never been in a relationship!"
"Why not talk about it?"
After a while, a message came back: "My health isn't very good, so I can only date one boyfriend."
Su Jie frowned. "What do you mean?"
He suspected yesterday that Xu Qingman was in poor health and might have a terminal illness.
I chatted with Shen Ruoxuan today, and she's not feeling well either.
Are there really that many diseases these days?
Shen Ruoxuan quickly replied: "You're not my boyfriend, why are you asking so many questions?"
Su Jie gently tapped the letters: "I'm here to treat you to a meal because I caused your expulsion. If you have a boyfriend, bring him along too."
The girl was very wary: "Don't waste your time on me. My standards for a boyfriend won't be lowered!"
But Su Jie was also very direct: "You are indeed quite pretty, but you're not my type."
"So what kind do you like?"
"I like girls who are pretty and have great curves!"
Shen Ruoxuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry. "Su Jie, are you deliberately looking for a beating?"
Thinking of the girl's figure, Su Jie's lips curled up slightly: "I'm just telling the truth, and my standards won't be lowered."
Where are you now? I'm coming to find you!
"Is it really worth coming all this way to cause me trouble over just one sentence?"
"Weren't you going to treat me to dinner?"
"Are you really coming?"
"I had nothing to do anyway, so I came over to hang out with you."
"Then come to Chunxi Road, I'll wait for you at Exit C!"
Looking at the last line of text on her phone, Shen Ruoxuan pouted and looked up.
The subway car was relatively quiet at this time of day, with few people in it.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly sent a message to Su Jie.
She was fired from her first job, and she felt quite lost.
There's a strange sense of loss and resentment, and I want to find someone to confide in.
Since they were both in the same boat, Su Jie was naturally the best choice.
Su Jie's sudden question about whether she had a boyfriend made her feel inexplicably flustered.
During this period, she had a lot of contact with Su Jie because of work, and she knew his personality and that he was quite good in all aspects.
He's 1.8 meters tall, has a strong physique, and is quite handsome.
Unfortunately, I don't own a house in Chengdu!
She's beautiful, and she's had suitors since high school.
When I got to college, even more people were pursuing me.
But she rejected them all.
She didn't want to date at school.
She knew very well that dating in college would not do her any good as an ordinary college student.
It's not too late for her to find a job after she graduates from university, depending on the actual job situation.
Having come to Chengdu and witnessed the prosperity of this modern metropolis, she no longer wanted to return to her small, run-down hometown.
Just like she said, she owns a 100-square-meter apartment within the Third Ring Road of Chengdu without a mortgage, and a car worth 300,000 yuan.
Solving the major living expenses will greatly reduce the pressure of life in the future.
Unfortunately, Su Jie had none of these things, so she could only ruthlessly eliminate the other party.
If you have someone to blame, it's that you were destined to be apart from your soulmate, and that he wasn't the one you were waiting for!
……
Su Jie never expected that Liu Zhiyuan, as a boss, would lack even the slightest sense of magnanimity and actually fire Shen Ruoxuan as well.
For the company, Shen Ruoxuan, who was still an intern, was both cheap and useful.
As a result, he fired her out of pettiness because she said one more word to him.
Liu Zhiyuan's initial success was purely by chance; he caught the wave of the times, rather than a result of his true abilities.
The physical examination is complete, but the report will be available tomorrow.
Su Jie took the subway back to Chunxi Road.
He didn't choose to drive because there were too many people at the hospital and parking was hard to find; taking the subway was much more convenient.
When he arrived at Chunxi Road, Shen Ruoxuan had not yet come over, so he found another place to eat something.
He was quite hungry because he hadn't eaten breakfast.
After waiting for half an hour, Shen Ruoxuan emerged from Exit C of the subway.
Her slightly wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a white sundress. Her long, white legs were perfectly complemented by white sneakers, giving her a vibrant, pure, and adorable look.
Upon seeing Su Jie waiting at the subway entrance, Shen Ruoxuan gritted her teeth and rushed forward to deliver a punch.
"You'd better die!"
