The skyline of Hong Kong glimmered under the early morning sun as Shen Moze stepped off his private jet, sunglasses on, leather jacket casually slung over one shoulder.
[System Notification: Suggested action — inspect overseas property investment. Potential profit: ¥15,000,000–¥20,000,000. Points +300. Optional Charm +5.]
He smirked. Let's see what this place has to offer.
The villa was breathtaking: modern architecture blending traditional Chinese elements, panoramic bay views, and an infinity pool reflecting the setting sun.
Shen Moze walked through the rooms casually, imagining future gatherings, private meetings, and social leverage this property would bring.
[System Note: Overseas villa acquired. Profit potential: ¥18,500,000. Points +300.]
He tapped his phone to check system notifications. Suggestions for future investments appeared, all perfectly aligned with his next moves.
Vivian, the villa agent, was waiting with a professional smile and a hint of intrigue.
"Mr. Shen, welcome," she said, her tone playful yet professional.
"Nice work on the villa," he replied casually, eyes scanning the space. "Everything looks perfect."
She laughed softly. "I didn't think the old taxi driver could move like this."
"Some things are better noticed up close," he said, smirking faintly.
Charm points ticking up quietly.
After inspecting the property, Vivian suggested a celebratory dinner at a nearby rooftop restaurant. Shen Moze agreed, casual as ever.
Dinner was relaxed: playful banter, teasing remarks, and shared laughter. Nothing clingy, nothing forced — just chemistry, light and natural.
By the time they returned to the villa, the system pinged:
[System Note: Romantic interaction complete. Charm +50, Reputation +30.]
Morning sunlight filled the villa the next day. Shen Moze sipped coffee on the terrace, watching the bay. Vivian was in the next room, laughing quietly at some joke from the night before.
He didn't linger on the details. This is part of life, he thought. Casual, enjoyable, and completely under his control.
Back in Jingzhou, social media buzzed. Photos from the villa dinner and evening with Vivian had been posted.
Tang Yuxin scrolled through them, eyes narrowing. She didn't see him thinking about her. She only saw results, status, and charm, and that quietly stoked her jealousy.
Later, Shen Moze reviewed system recommendations over breakfast.
[System Notification: Suggested high-yield stock trading. Potential profit: ¥2,000,000. Points +150. Optional skill upgrade: Negotiation +5, Physique +3.]
He tapped the trade casually. Within minutes:
[System Note: Trade executed. Profit potential: ¥2,100,000. Points +150.]
No celebration. Just calm, relaxed coffee sipping.
Afternoon brought a casual tour of the villa with Vivian, joking about hosting small parties for investors.
"Do you always do this with clients?" she teased.
"Not really," he said lightly, smiling faintly. "Only for things worth noticing."
Charm points +10.
Evening fell. Shen Moze leaned on the infinity pool terrace, city lights sparkling across the bay.
System sign-in completed:
Daily reward: ¥500,000 deposited. Points +200. Optional upgrade: Charm +5, Negotiation +5.
He ignored the notification, letting the calm wash over him.
Tang Yuxin's jealousy lingered indirectly, like a shadow — subtle, sharp, but entirely irrelevant to him.
Old classmates and rivals had noticed the overseas villa via social media. Whispers and comments buzzed:
"That taxi driver… now a tycoon with overseas property?!"
"How is he so calm, so… untouchable?"
Before nightfall, Shen Moze reviewed the day:
Overseas villa acquisition: completed, massive profit potential
Romantic encounter: implied, playful, Charm +50
Trades executed: system-assisted, smooth
Public / social: classmates and rivals buzzing, Tang Yuxin jealous indirectly
He leaned back, coffee in hand, city lights reflecting off the bay.
