"Damn it! System sis, you're going to kill me. You just tore me apart, and now you're telling me my target is that woman in red! Isn't this harder than conquering a man?"
How could the system not understand Ren Yuanhao's little thought?
"Relax, girls, the more fierce and invulnerable they seem on the outside, the more tender and gentle they are inside."
"Man, that's only if I can break through her icy exterior. Otherwise, I'll just be a warm face against her cold hindquarters."
"You wish."
"Pfft, where did your mind go? I didn't mean that. I just feel like this kind of woman is like wearing an Iron Man suit. If I want to break through, I'll have to pay a price of rivers of blood to achieve anything, right?"
"Where did the fierce determination you had when you broke through Shen Lan Ni go?"
"That was luck, and because of that luck, those two guys are now my mortal enemies. You could say that was a river of blood too!"
"2000 points, difficulty four stars. You can do it. Oh, by the way, I need to continue fixing system bugs. Don't call me at critical moments; even if you do, I won't respond."
Ren Yuanhao gritted his teeth, wishing he could just die.
"Keep talking?" Zhao Yishu eyed Ren Yuanhao coldly. Just then, the female model invited for today finally arrived.
Zhao Yishu shot Ren Yuanhao a glare, making it hard for him to imagine such a woman clicking on the 'DiDi Date' link.
Ren Yuanhao let out a breath and silently cheered himself on: Ren Yuanhao, you can do it. When women become increasingly cold in their work, it affects the balance of the world, causing premature aging and isolation. Think about the male-female ratio imbalance! If you don't help guide their emotions, how many men will end up single because of it? This is a profession to be proud of!
With this thought, Ren Yuanhao's spirits soared.
However, Zhao Yishu's next words sent him plummeting from heaven to hell, a clear three strikes.
"It's 9:22 now, meaning you're twenty-two minutes late, which shows you don't care about this photoshoot at all." Zhao Yishu walked up to the woman. "Your makeup is very ordinary, and you didn't even apply your foundation evenly. This means you likely stayed up late last night and couldn't wake up this morning. It's a vicious cycle. With this attitude towards life, I'm sorry, you can leave."
Zhao Yishu, in her sky-high heels, was more than a head taller than the other woman. Under such overbearing pressure, the woman's pretty face turned ashen, and she fled the 13th floor as if escaping for her life.
"Hey, Zhao Yishu, now that you've chased away the only model, who will take responsibility for the fact that the magazine the client wanted can't be produced?"
The woman in purple seized on this small opening to confront Zhao Yishu, clearly unhappy with her overbearing behavior. At the same time, she was also resentful, as she had more seniority than Zhao Yishu. Why was Zhao Yishu in the position of second-in-command of the company?
"The magazine is due tomorrow morning, so what's the rush? If we don't have a model, we can find one, but using a woman like that, don't you think it's beneath us?"
Zhao Yishu strode to her desk and gulped down a large glass of water. The woman in purple continued her tirade, "This model was chosen from all the candidates as the one who best fit our theme for this issue. The competition in the industry is so fierce now, where can we find such a satisfactory model?"
Just as the two were about to engage in a full-blown argument, Ren Yuanhao suddenly interjected, "No, I think you might have a natural inferiority complex, or perhaps you're afraid of being in front of the camera? In my opinion, among you, there are those with outstanding looks, hot figures, gentle appearances, and pure cuteness. What kind of clothes can't you handle? And you're still looking for hired models? I think your company just has too much money and nothing better to do."
Ren Yuanhao sauntered into the midst of the women, hands in his pockets, and continued, "Besides, you designed these clothes yourselves. Who understands the elements and the inner meaning better than you? Who can interpret them better? I'm just curious. Society now advocates for T-shaped talent. Do you think your job is done once you've completed your assigned task? Do you think you stay up until 12 to come up with a perfect plan, only to have a model who only understands about 50% interpret your hard work?"
After he finished speaking, he walked directly to an extremely luxurious chair and sat down. Zhao Yishu and the woman in purple's faces instantly turned green. At that moment, a clear round of applause echoed from the doorway.
Everyone turned to look, their faces turning green.
"Stinky man, get up quickly!" Zhao Yishu frowned for the first time. The woman in purple retreated to her workspace, her body tensing, appearing extremely unnatural.
"It's just a seat. What's the harm in me sitting for a bit, old lady? Don't you agree?"
As soon as Ren Yuanhao finished speaking, he heard Zhao Yishu and the others softly call out, "Chairman, good morning."
Zhao Yishu's face was ashen, and she kept signaling Ren Yuanhao to get up. However, the Chairman looked at Ren Yuanhao with an expression she had never seen before.
"Idiot, the seat you're sitting in belongs to the Chairman~"
Upon hearing Zhao Yishu's whispered words beside him, Ren Yuanhao immediately sprang up from the seat.
"Good boy, all the women on our 13th floor are formidable, and you, a young man, have quite the nerve." The Chairman's gaze never left Ren Yuanhao. For some reason, all the women were secretly holding their breath for this man.
Ren Yuanhao cupped his hands and said, "Women aren't tigers. Am I, a grown man, afraid of women?"
"Kid, you're the first man to dare sit in my seat, and you're also the first man to see so many women and not be intimidated, but instead, talk them into submission. Interesting." The Chairman slowly walked to his seat and sat down. He then said, "Don't just stand there like statues, everyone sit down."
The others obeyed. The Chairman smiled and invited Ren Yuanhao to sit beside him. Then, in a tone she had never used before, she said, "Don't you think what this kid said makes a lot of sense?"
None of the women spoke, but the Chairman laughed and said, "When I first heard these words, I was shocked myself. Because lately, I've noticed that although our clothes are made very well, once they appear in print, they seem to have lost their soul. Your words today are like a sudden enlightenment, wonderfully profound."
Not only were the women amazed, but even the usually cold and arrogant "iceberg," Zhao Yishu, couldn't believe it.
After all, this decisive and enterprising Chairman had never praised a man like this before!
"Is this man really that good?"
Just then, Zhao Yishu suddenly froze, her mind flashing to a sudden realization—last night, while inexplicably enjoying the cool air in her villa, she had clicked on a link that was somewhat like a prank, 'DiDi Date.' According to the agreed time, it should have arrived by now.
