156: Chapter 156 Lin Yuxi Takes the Initiative

Early the next morning, bright sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and shone into the eleventh-floor bedroom.

Zhang Qi slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and filled with energy throughout his entire body.

He turned his head to look, and Manager Chen Danni was still fast asleep beside him, with more than half of her body exposed outside the quilt.

Last night's madness had completely drained her of all stamina, and now she didn't even have the strength to turn over.

However, nourished by love and money, her mental state was actually quite good.

Her mature and charming face glowed with a healthy flush, and her skin was so supple it felt like it could drip water if pinched.

She looked younger and younger, losing some of the coldness from her professional life while gaining an air of mature femininity.

Zhang Qi got out of bed lightly, afraid of waking the woman who had been thoroughly exhausted last night.

He walked into the bathroom, freshened up, changed into casual clothes, and pushed the door open to walk out.

Walking down the bright corridor, he couldn't help but marvel internally at how monstrous his Physique had become after being strengthened by the system.

With a Physique reaching 108 points, he possessed recovery and endurance that surpassed the limits of humanity.

Today was an extremely busy day, and his schedule was packed.

During the day, he had to film a video for Lin Yuxi, and in the evening, he had to go to the Racetrack to race against Song Jun.

It was only because his Physique was high now; otherwise, after such exertion last night, he would still have to be busy filming videos today.

By the time he went to ride a heavy motorcycle in the evening, he would surely have turned into a weakling!

But now, his condition was still at its absolute peak, and he even felt more energetic than he had last night.

Zhang Qi walked to the elevator, pressed the button to go up, and arrived at the twelfth floor.

He walked straight to the door of Room 1202 and raised his hand to gently knock on Lin Yuxi's door.

Just at that moment, the door to Room 1201 next door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

Su Ran stepped out in exquisite high heels, wearing a capable professional outfit today.

A form-fitting white shirt tightly wrapped around her proud bust, with the collar slightly open.

On her lower half was a black skirt that hugged her hips, paired with ultra-thin black stockings.

This outfit accentuated her long, straight, and well-proportioned legs, giving her the charm of a mature woman.

She had originally intended to go to the Gym for work, as she had to interview several newly recruited personal trainers this morning.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Zhang Qi standing in front of Lin Yuxi's door knocking.

Su Ran was a smart woman and immediately understood her big boss's intentions.

Without even saying hello, she immediately retreated back into her room at top speed.

She shut the door tightly behind her with a motion as smooth as flowing water.

She certainly didn't want to go out and be a third wheel at this moment, ruining Zhang Qi's good time.

Zhang Qi heard the commotion and turned his head, just in time to see the door to Su Ran's room quickly closing.

He couldn't help but laugh; this Su Ran was indeed very sensible!

Being around a woman who knew how to read the room made him feel particularly comfortable.

Not long after Su Ran closed her door, the door to Room 1202 was opened from the inside.

Lin Yuxi stood behind the door, and the moment she saw Zhang Qi, a flash of panic crossed her cold, beautiful face.

She was wearing a pure white, long silk nightgown today, with a somewhat loose collar design.

Her delicate collarbones were faintly visible, and below that was a stretch of fair skin that made it impossible to look away.

The fabric of the nightgown was smooth, perfectly clinging to her tall and slender figure.

Although it was a long style, the hem had a high slit, and as she moved, her long, fair, and beautiful legs were vaguely visible.

She seemed to have just woken up, with her hair draped casually over her shoulders, carrying a hint of languor.

Combined with her face, which was unadorned by makeup yet still impossibly beautiful, she looked just like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

Lin Yuxi nervously pinched the edge of her nightgown with both hands, her eyes darting away, not daring to meet Zhang Qi's gaze.

"Brother Qi, you came so early?"

Zhang Qi looked at her shy appearance, nodded with a smile, and spoke in a very natural tone.

"My schedule is quite full today, so I thought I'd come over earlier to help you finish filming the video. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Lin Yuxi hurriedly shook her head and turned to invite Zhang Qi into the room.

"No, no, I've been awake for a while. Please, come in and sit!"

Zhang Qi changed into slippers, walked into the living room, sat directly on the sofa, and looked around.

Lin Yuxi walked quickly to the water dispenser, poured a cup of warm water, and carefully placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Qi.

After doing this, she stood there and took a deep breath, trying hard to make her voice sound calmer.

"Brother Qi, have some water first. I'm going to the bedroom to change; I'll be out in a moment!"

Zhang Qi picked up the cup, took a sip, and waved his hand at her, signaling that there was no need to rush.

"Go ahead, take your time changing. Time isn't that tight."

Lin Yuxi nodded as if granted amnesty and turned to rush into the bedroom.

She closed the door and leaned her back against it, panting heavily.

At this moment, Lin Yuxi clutched her wildly beating chest with both hands, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She had no idea how she would face Zhang Qi next, and she was extremely nervous.

Thinking of the tactics Tao Xiaoman had taught her last night about taking the initiative, her legs felt a bit weak.

Lin Yuxi hurried to the bedside and picked up the phone lying next to her pillow.

Her fingers trembling slightly, she dialed a voice call directly to her best friend, Tao Xiaoman.

The phone rang several times before it was answered, and Tao Xiaoman's somewhat dazed voice came from the other end.

"Hello, Yuxi? Why are you calling so early in the morning? I'm sleepy to death!"

Lin Yuxi stamped her feet in anxiety, lowered her voice, and spoke with a tone filled with intense urgency and helplessness.

"Xiaoman, stop sleeping! Help me! Brother Qi is already here. What should I do now?"

Tao Xiaoman on the other end of the phone instantly woke up, her voice rising by an octave.

"What? He went to see you this early? This man is definitely interested in you!"

Lin Yuxi's cheeks burned even hotter at her words, and she hurriedly covered the phone's microphone.

She was afraid that Zhang Qi outside would hear the commotion, so she lowered her voice even further.

"Stop guessing blindly! He said it's because his schedule is full today, so he came over earlier to help me film the video!"

Tao Xiaoman sighed on the other end, feeling frustrated at her friend's lack of progress, and her tone became very serious.

"Whatever his reason is, this is an excellent opportunity for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room!"

"You absolutely cannot mess this up; you must seize this opportunity to win him over!"

"Go pick out the most flattering outfit you have and put it on, preferably one with a little bit of 'subtle strategy'!"

Listening to her best friend's advice, Lin Yuxi's gaze involuntarily drifted toward her closet.

"A 'subtle strategy' style? But my closet only has those costumes for cosplay and regular clothes!"

Tao Xiaoman was so anxious she slapped her thigh; one could feel her agitation even through the screen.

"Then what theme of video are you planning to film today? Hurry up and put on the outfit for the shoot!"

"Remember what I told you last night. When you go out later, you must find an opportunity to create physical contact!"

"Don't be a coward! Show the spirit you have as an influencer!"

Lin Yuxi bit her lower lip, her mind recalling Zhang Qi's handsome face.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart, and her eyes gradually became firm.

"Okay, I'll try it. Wait for my good news!"
