151: System quests first appear in Chapter 151.
Chen Hao quickly explained.
"I don't come here often. Isn't today a special case?"
The doctor didn't argue further and said with a stern face.
"Whatever you say. If you go blind, don't blame me for not curing you."
The instruments covered Chen Hao's face, with supports propping his eyelids open so he couldn't blink. Then began the series of eye-washing procedures.
Cai Fenghua took a few glances, but she couldn't stand the sight. She took the initiative to sit on a bench in the hallway, using her phone to reply to messages.
Her boss, Brother Li, sent a message asking.
"Did you two get down to business?"
She replied to him: "Not yet. Chen Hao came to the hospital to treat his eyes first. I reckon we won't be able to go to a hotel until after midnight."
"Did he say anything strange to you?"
"Just like any other scumbag, he asked if I wanted to change careers and wanted to introduce me to a proper job. It's all the same tricks men use to deceive women; I've seen it all before."
After a long while, Brother Li spoke again.
"If he mentions that again, pay a bit more attention. Ask him if he has any ways to make money."
Cai Fenghua was a bit puzzled and typed back.
"Brother Li, he's just an ordinary real estate agent. What kind of connections could a person like that have?"
"He's no ordinary salesman. I just heard that he's a very famous Sales Champion in Jiangcheng. Do you understand the weight of that title?"
Cai Fenghua's eyes darted around as she asked again.
"Aren't you afraid that if I listen to him, I'll actually run away?"
"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged women. If you really do run off with him, keep in touch with me. I still want to learn about his business through you."
"Then I'll chat with him."
Cai Fenghua put down her phone and looked back into the doctor's office. She walked in and stood by the treatment machine to observe the eye-washing.
"Hiss, that's scary."
The attending physician glanced back at Cai Fenghua.
"If you're scared, then take good care of your eyes. The eyeballs are the most fragile part of the human body. Once you get sick and go blind, you'll know how much suffering it is."
After the follow-up examination ended, Chen Hao wiped his eyes with a medical wet wipe and asked casually.
"Doctor, when will my eyes be fully recovered?"
The attending physician said while washing and disinfecting his hands.
"Try not to drink or smoke lately. Go to bed early and wake up early. Protect your eyes, and you should recover in about a week."
Chen Hao sighed; he would have to endure a week with dark circles under his eyes.
Shayiva really is a loathsome jinx!
"Thank you, doctor."
As Chen Hao was about to leave, the doctor hurriedly said.
"Exercise some restraint these next few days. Don't let your private life be so chaotic."
These words were clearly said for Cai Fenghua's benefit, leaving Chen Hao truly speechless.
Leaving the hospital, Cai Fenghua took the initiative to ask.
"Let's find a place to have a good talk and pick up that job you mentioned to me in the taxi."
Chen Hao said half-jokingly.
"I thought you would be impatient to go to a hotel."
Just as he finished speaking, a system notification suddenly arrived.
[Warning: If you go to a hotel with her, the 'Persuade Others Toward Goodness' mission will fail!]
Chen Hao was stunned. This meant he couldn't have a relationship with her yet. Rejecting vice—this system was quite full of positive energy, huh!
Cai Fenghua followed up by saying.
"A hotel is fine too; it's quiet and convenient."
"I was joking. Come on, I'll take you somewhere first."
Chen Hao hailed a taxi and headed straight for the bustling commercial street.
He spent the entire way sending messages, notifying Zhang Menglu in advance. He told her the cause and effect and explained that he had scouted a stunning employee for her.
At first, Zhang Menglu couldn't understand, and her replies were all questions.
"Why are you telling me about your fooling around? Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"
Chen Hao hurriedly explained.
"No, nothing happened between us. I just think she's decent and would be a good fit as a shop assistant for you."
"What do you take me for? A shelter for loose women? I heard that Wang Lichun is coming over in a couple of days. What exactly do you mean by this?"
"My dear, can you stop overthinking? Our business is meant to serve women. If we don't capture our target audience, who do you think we're selling the 'Pure Desire' style to?"
Zhang Menglu stopped talking, and Chen Hao continued to explain.
"You're going to be a big boss; a prime minister's heart should be broad enough to sail a boat. Besides, how can your thoughts be so filthy? If I really wanted to do something behind your back, would I need to bring her right under your nose? Use your head."
Zhang Menglu sent a pouting emoji with the text.
"What do you need me to do?"
Settled. Chen Hao smiled confidently and typed his instructions.
"Coordinate with me. Don't you know about 'persuading someone to come ashore'? Make her envious with the earnings from a proper job."
"Let's wait until you get here. I'm afraid I won't do it right."
While the two were chatting on WeChat, the taxi had already arrived at the commercial street and stopped in front of the goddess token hosiery shop.
After getting out of the car, Cai Fenghua said with a look of surprise.
"Why did you bring me here? Is this a newly opened shop? I've never seen it before."
Chen Hao said as he walked.
"I'm taking you to meet someone to open your eyes. Doing legitimate business can also be very profitable."
Cai Fenghua became interested. When the door opened and she saw Zhang Menglu, she subconsciously marveled at how good the female boss's figure was.
Zhang Menglu was about to give a warm welcome when she saw Chen Hao's eyes and asked nervously.
"What happened to your eyes? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just an eye irritation these past two days. Don't make a fuss."
After entering, Chen Hao introduced the two women.
"This is the lady boss of this shop, Zhang Menglu. Her name is Cai Fenghua."
The two women shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. Zhang Menglu performed well enough, as Chen Hao had briefed her beforehand and she knew Cai Fenghua's background.
But Cai Fenghua was a bit dazed. She could tell that Chen Hao and Zhang Menglu had a close relationship, but she didn't understand why he would bring her to such a luxury shop in the middle of the night.
"Lady boss, get her a set of undergarments first. Put it on my tab."
Only then did Cai Fenghua realize—she was currently going commando, with only that one wrap of cloth on her body. It turned out Chen Hao was doing this to look after her.
[Cai Fenghua's Favorability +10, Current Favorability 80]
"Follow me."
Zhang Menglu personally introduced her products to Cai Fenghua. The 'Goddess Three-Piece Set' was all in the 'Pure Desire' style, which happened to be the style Cai Fenghua liked.
"How about this set? Do you like it?"
Looking at the three-piece set on the plastic model, she subconsciously blushed.
"This quality certainly isn't cheap, right?"
"You don't have to spend any money. You can pick whatever clothes you want in my shop. If you like them, it's no problem even if you take them all."
Cai Fenghua looked suspiciously at Chen Hao in the distance and asked in a low voice.
"The relationship between you two isn't simple, is it?"
Zhang Menglu smiled.
"Our relationship is very complex. How should I put it? Without him, this shop wouldn't exist."
Zhang Menglu took down a brand-new set and handed it to Cai Fenghua.
"I used to be a street vendor at the night market. Fortunately, I met him. In just one month, I earned enough for this shop. Impressive, right?"
"One month?"
Cai Fenghua's eyes widened in shock.
"Go and try it on first. If you don't like it, you can try on something else."
