13: Chapter 13 Come Back Soon
Zhang Shan saw the long string of messages Miaomiao had sent, simply replied with a "Go for it," and then refocused his attention on the system panel.
As for the private messages on Douyin, he hadn't checked the app at all, so naturally, he had no idea that his inbox had exploded.
At this moment, the system panel was displaying Miaomiao's detailed information.
[Anchor: Miaomiao]
[Age: 20]
[Height: 168cm]
[Weight: 105 jin]
[Appearance: 76]
[Figure: 92 (D)]
[Charm: 84]
[Status: Healthy]
[Affection: 86]
Miaomiao's affection level had already reached 86 points; there was still a long way to go before reaching 100.
Most importantly, relying solely on tipping to reach 100 points of affection was still quite difficult.
It would require some sweet duo gaming sessions.
"Hmm, looks like it's time to set something up."
Zhang Shan closed Miaomiao's information panel and opened his own.
He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to see how much salary he would receive now that Miaomiao's affection had reached 86 points.
[Host: Zhang Shan]
[Age: 26]
[Height: 188cm]
[Weight: 175 jin]
[Tipping Amount: 999999980000000]
[Bound Anchor: Miaomiao]
[Reward Obtained: Nuclear-Powered Kidney]
Feeling his incredibly energetic body, Zhang Shan finally went to bed, satisfied.
Miaomiao had just finished sending the message to Zhang Shan and was about to head home for the day when Sister Chen called her into the office.
"Congratulations, Miaomiao. You won the weekly tournament, and you finally have a guardian of your own. Our Miaomiao is really starting to make it big."
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Miaomiao walked over, took Sister Chen's hand, and thanked her.
Sister Chen had always been very good to her; she was the one who had mentored Miaomiao when she first signed with the company.
Seeing how affectionate Miaomiao still was towards her, Sister Chen's smile grew even brighter.
"We're all family here, no need to be so formal. I didn't call you in for any other reason, I just wanted to ask how you're managing Brother Qingshan and if you need any advice from the company."
Hearing that the company wanted to get involved, Miaomiao quickly shook her head in refusal. "No, no need. I've known Brother Qingshan for quite a while now; I can manage our relationship just fine."
"Alright, as long as you're confident, that's fine. If you ever need anything, feel free to come to the company for help. Also, I have to remind you, don't take your familiarity with Brother Qingshan for granted and start slacking off. Brother Qingshan isn't the same person he used to be. You need to be more proactive and enthusiastic, and share more about your personal life. By the way, it seems like you haven't had a break in a long time. How about I give you two days off tomorrow to go out and clear your head?"
Sister Chen's words were loaded with subtext, and Miaomiao understood them perfectly.
A moment ago, she had said they were all family, and now she was trying to sell her out?
However, she also knew that relying on a few coquettish words of thanks wouldn't be enough to keep a big spender.
Perhaps some people could pull it off, but she certainly wasn't one of them.
But she wasn't willing to just give herself away so easily.
Although she had added Brother Qingshan as a friend, he usually only replied with "Hmm," "Ah," or "Okay" when they chatted.
She didn't know anything about Brother Qingshan's actual situation. Moreover, he didn't even post to his Moments, so she didn't even know what he looked like.
Whether he was old or young, ugly or handsome—she was completely in the dark.
Even if she didn't care about any of that, Brother Qingshan had just gifted her so much, and if she immediately begged to meet up, wouldn't that be a bit too mercenary? Would it make Brother Qingshan think she was that kind of girl?
What if she scared Brother Qingshan away?
Countless thoughts raced through Miaomiao's little head. In the end, she decided it would be better to get to know Brother Qingshan a bit more before doing anything else.
So, she played dumb and declined: "No, no need, thank you, Sister Chen. I've only just started to see some success, how can I take a break? I can still hold on. Besides, if I take a break and Brother Qingshan comes by and doesn't see me, it won't be easy to explain. It's very easy to lose a big supporter that way."
Sister Chen watched Miaomiao speaking with such earnestness, unable to tell if she really didn't understand or was just pretending.
Forget it, let it be. She had to walk her own path, after all.
"Fine, as long as you know what you're doing. Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. Go home and get some rest."
"Mm, okay. Goodbye, Sister Chen."
Miaomiao clutched her phone and hurried out. Brother Qingshan had just replied to her message.
She couldn't wait to open the message and take a look.
"What is this? He just replied with 'Go for it,' not even an emoji."
Seeing that Zhang Shan had only replied with the two words "Go for it," Miaomiao puffed out her cheeks.
"Hey, I've got it."
Miaomiao's eyes darted around, an idea forming. She grabbed her phone and ran into the dance studio.
The next day, 9:00 AM.
"Damn it, don't leave, come back!"
Zhang Shan let out a loud yell and fell straight off the bed.
After waking up with a start, he immediately called out to the system.
"System, System."
When he saw the system panel materialize before his eyes, he smiled and climbed up from the floor.
"That's good, that's good. It was just a dream."
Zhang Shan's sleep quality last night could be described as both good and bad.
It was good because he slept very soundly, straight through until dawn.
It was bad because he had a dream.
First, he dreamt that he was surrounded by all sorts of beautiful women, which made him incredibly happy.
Then, he dreamt that he was throwing money around like dirt and enjoying life in every way.
All of this was because he had the system, but before he could be happy for too long, the system suddenly left him, and he returned to his former self.
In his panic, he shouted and got up to chase after it.
As a result, he fell to the floor and woke up.
