Ye Zhi’s eyebrows curved into a smile, and she didn't refuse him.
The tender kiss ended, and Ye Zhi raised his chin with a light smile, "So proactive? Then this kiss counts as making up for last night."
Qi Xuan: ...
Why did he feel a bit at a disadvantage?
"Quickly continue filling out the task list. For the second task, we need to determine the company's scale and start recruiting personnel, right?" Ye Zhi instantly entered the zone. After a moment of thought, she said, "How about giving them a week for this task?"
Qi Xuan let out a resentful sigh and chuckled helplessly, "That should be enough."
Afterward, they discussed task rewards together and meticulously broke down the larger tasks into smaller ones. In this way, they harmoniously set the goals for their first three months.
"Let's leave it at that for now. These are sufficient," Ye Zhi stretched. She looked at Qi Xuan, "Let's give them the first month's tasks as a trial period. Once completed, we can unlock the subsequent tasks. What do you think?"
"The plan is very detailed and reasonable." Seeing Ye Zhi yawn, Qi Xuan glanced at the time, "It's getting late. Let's stop here for today."
Ye Zhi nodded, "Then it's settled. Get some rest early."
Then, Ye Zhi escorted Qi Xuan to the door. Qi Xuan suddenly stopped.
He looked at her with a hint of melancholy, "Just sending me away like this? Aren't there any rewards?"
"Rewards?" Ye Zhi gave a mischievous smile. She grabbed Zhao Cai, who had followed them, and placed it in front of Qi Xuan, "How about the reward of kissing him?"
Qi Xuan: ...
He didn't want such a reward, thank you.
Zhao Cai meowed and immediately broke free from Ye Zhi's grasp, turning and running away.
Qi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said faintly, "The reward ran away."
"Then you should chase it yourself~" Ye Zhi said with a giggle.
Qi Xuan's eyes flashed, "You're right. I should chase after my own rewards."
The next moment, he moved closer to Ye Zhi and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, "I caught it, A Zhi."
Satisfied, Qi Xuan was about to leave when Ye Zhi suddenly pulled his hand.
Qi Xuan froze slightly, looking at her with surprise.
"You..." Ye Zhi extended her index finger, placed it on his chest, and slowly moved downward, "Didn't you want a reward?"
Qi Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded slightly.
"Then let's pick a time and go on a trip together?" Ye Zhi said with a smile. Her finger stopped, her palm flat against his chest.
"Really?" Qi Xuan asked in disbelief.
"Really, but..." Ye Zhi pushed him away with a mischievous grin, "I'm tired today. I'll tell you the details tomorrow!"
With that, Ye Zhi directly closed the door.
Qi Xuan: ...
Although he had a feeling that the trip Ye Zhi mentioned was definitely not what he was thinking, how could she just tease him and then run away?
He was so anxious, so angry!
How was he supposed to sleep tonight?
"A Zhi," he knocked on the door.
"There's no one in the door," Ye Zhi said with a smile from behind the door.
"I just have one question," he asked in a low voice, "Is what you said about traveling together true?"
"Yes..." Ye Zhi said with a hint of guilt, "If you agree to go together then."
"Okay, your word is enough," Qi Xuan chuckled and turned to leave.
Ye Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty. Was it not very good to deceive the innocent Qi Xuan like this? Uh... it wasn't exactly a deception, it was just not a two-person trip, but a 'group tour.'
"Meow~" Zhao Cai, who had somehow returned, walked towards the door, looking like it wanted to go out.
"You ungrateful little thing, I'll send you to the neighbor's sooner or later!" Ye Zhi picked it up, saying with a hint of amusement.

The next day, Ye Zhi sent the completed task plan to Liu Lingyu and Cheng Yi.
The enthusiasm of both of them was instantly ignited.
Liu Lingyu was completely clueless about running a company. She didn't know how to proceed at all, but Ye Zhi's workflow was so clear and simple that she only needed to complete each item.
As for Cheng Yi, she was of course no stranger to these matters. However, the limited initial capital and the step-by-step task list gave her a strong sense of playing a game and a sense of participation, and she immediately became excited.
Cheng Yi and Liu Lingyu quickly entered a game-like collaboration mode. They divided the labor and began to complete the tasks one by one.
With the housekeeping company running smoothly, Ye Zhi finally felt at ease.
She took out her phone and called Qi Xuan.
Yesterday, she had deliberately said some things that made Qi Xuan misunderstand, so she had to clarify today.
The call was quickly connected, and Ye Zhi asked with a smile, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight? I've booked a restaurant."
"Okay." Qi Xuan asked gently, "Shall I pick you up?"
Ye Zhi agreed.
In the evening, Qi Xuan drove to pick up Ye Zhi, and then they headed to the restaurant Ye Zhi had booked.
When they arrived at the private room, Ye Zhi sat down and looked out the window. She couldn't help but exclaim, "This restaurant was recommended by Ruo Qing. She said that besides the delicious food, the scenery is also very good. Look, you can directly see the outdoor big screen advertisement across the street."
Qi Xuan followed her gaze. Just then, the animated characters of "Meet the Journey to the West" appeared on the outdoor big screen advertisement, followed by the words "Yang Jian Husband, I love you!"
Qi Xuan: ...
Ye Zhi: !!!
"Your Taoxun Games... seems to be trying a very new promotional method," Qi Xuan's lips twitched.
"No! This absolutely could not be a promotional plan from Taoxun Games," Ye Zhi quickly denied, "Our promotional plans are at most about more advertising, not about such strong personal emotions. I think this is most likely fan-funded... Wait, Qi Xuan, you don't happen to think this is my idea, and you're jealous of a fictional character, are you?"
Ye Zhi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and leaned closer to Qi Xuan with excitement.
"Yes, I am jealous," Qi Xuan said in a low voice, "You've never called me by such an intimate name. You always just call me by my name."
Ye Zhi was slightly taken aback. She found it somewhat amusing that Qi Xuan's concerns were always so unique!
What he cared about was always their relationship and whether it was becoming closer.
"Then I'll change my address. Qi Qi? Xuan Xuan? Little Qi? Little Xuan? Brother Qi? Brother Xuan?" Ye Zhi pondered seriously.
Seeing her start to combine and arrange his name, Qi Xuan was torn between laughter and tears, "You can just call me by my name, it sounds a bit strange."
"Alright." Ye Zhi began to order food. While waiting for the food to be served, Ye Zhi's expression turned serious, "Qi Xuan, I want to talk to you about the trip."
