Xu Chenghao looked disgusted, and was reluctant to praise a certain neurosis. Then he said in his heart: This is different, the other party robbed him of chili peppers on purpose, and even smuggling to Europe was an accidental product based on his careful thinking.

If it weren't for the influence of Mary Sue's halo, he would not have completed the mission, and he would still lose three peppers.

Therefore, there is no solution, no solution!

After Xu Chenghao strengthened his hatred again, he left someone behind and continued to check the third message.

The chili task is confirmed to be completed, and the cooldown time for automatic update is entered... Is there a cooldown time?

Xu Chenghao frowned at the message: System, if I harvest peppers during the cooldown time of the task, will they not be included in the cumulative quantity and belong to ordinary peppers?

[Ding—that's right, you're very smart. 】

Xu Chenghao said resentfully, "I'm pretty smart, but you're too humane.

[Ding——Please, the host, face up to my ability, don't deceive yourself. 】

Xu Chenghao: Hehe, I've never seen that system for my host, the gay king, halo! You can give a smart perspective eye or something better than this!

[Ding - these are all rewards later, as a chili quest, the host can get the halo only because of over-completion + quantity compensation + participation of plot characters + unlocking the effect of Mary Su's halo to get this excellent reward. 】

Xu Chenghao: ...When you say that, I'm even more angry. The excellent reward I finally got was turned into this by you. It's poisonous.

[Ding——As long as the host works hard to complete the task, there will be more rewards waiting for you in the future, please make persistent efforts. 】

Xu Chenghao:  …

It can only be like this, what else can be done.

Xu Chenghao was powerless to complain, so he could only rub his brows and continue to ponder about Little Pepper's mission.

The Chili Pepper 10 mission has been officially completed and entered the cooldown time. The system only takes his results, and does not recover the pepper seeds with a 10 result rate, so he still has more than ten pepper seeds in his hand.

What Xu Chenghao thought was that even if the results were not included in the cumulative number, he could still grow peppers to test how far the halo could work. So the large flower pot was temporarily stopped, and he tested it with a small yellow duck. It happens that the little yellow duck is easy to carry. He has been in contact with lunatics more recently because of project problems, which is very convenient.

Yes, just do it!

Xu Chenghao immediately gave up growing peppers in the large flowerpot, and returned to the living room with the kettle in his hand. The clock on the wall was ticking, showing that it was already two o'clock in the morning. Xu Chenghao put down the kettle and looked around, only to see that the house was in a mess, and there was someone next door purring like thunder.

He couldn't bear to open his mouth and yawn, tears were squeezed out, and he was drunk and sleepy. He walked to the bedroom in a daze, deciding what to do tomorrow, he just wanted to sleep now!

A good night's dream.

Today is an important day for the official operation of the project team. The originally scheduled meeting time was 9:30 in the morning. Jing Yicheng brought the team to the conference room early in the morning and waited for the start.

However, the president and special assistant of the Xu Group on the other side were both absent and did not appear until the appointed time passed. The people of the Xu Group were going crazy. While calling the two, they came forward to appease the project team members.

Jing Yicheng calmly flipped through the contents of the project book, without the displeasure or impatience that everyone imagined. As long as he has no opinion, the team he brought will naturally dare not say anything.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu's group took turns bombing, and finally got through to Li Nian's phone, wailing: "Brother Li, where are you, why didn't you and President Xu come? You forgot that the project team was running today. What happened? The partner has been waiting for you for half an hour!!"

After the phone was silent for five seconds, a high-pitched voice suddenly appeared: "What did you say!!!"

Everyone in the Xu Group was about to cry: "You don't really forget, do you?"

Li Nian: "...It's useless to say this now. Please inform them to move the meeting to 1:00 in the afternoon, let them move freely and familiarize themselves with the place, and ask for lunch to make amends. I'll be there soon!"

"Okay, come on! It's best to contact President Xu as well. The phone number of President Xu has not been through until now."

"Good good!"

Li Nian threw the phone on the bed, and staggered to the bathroom with his hangover-dazed head. After washing and changing clothes as quickly as possible, he started banging on the bedroom door.

"President Xu! Xu Chenghao!! Wake up!!!"

There was no movement in the bedroom, Li Nian twisted the handle, rushed in when the door was unlocked, and lifted the quilt: "Brother, don't sleep, we are half an hour late for the meeting, we have to hurry to work! !"

Xu Chenghao was almost dragged out of bed. He didn't start brushing his teeth and washing his face mechanically until a toothbrush was poked into his mouth. After cleaning up, he walked out of the bathroom, went straight to the big bed, and fell down again.

Li Nian looked at the sky speechlessly and shouted, "Your little yellow duck was lost!!"

"What!!" The man on the bed jumped up immediately, his eyes staring as big as copper bells.

Li Nian threw the clean clothes to him: "It's nothing, change clothes and go to the company immediately. Today is the day when the project team is running, and we are already late."

Xu Chenghao: "...Oh."

After a messy wake-up ceremony, the two finally arrived at the company to meet with the project team, have lunch together and have a meeting to discuss afterwards.

Because of the hangover and staying up late, Xu Chenghao's mental state was very bad. Most of them watched the speeches of the people, drank coffee with their heads supported, and forcibly cheered up.

Jing Yicheng sat opposite him and turned his pen, his eyes wandering between the little yellow duck flowerpot and Xu Chenghao's dark circles, slightly dazed.

The meeting represented the official operation of the project, as well as the analysis and arrangement of the next steps of the project. The workload was very heavy. As the person in charge, Xu Chenghao not only has to follow up the project throughout the process, but also coordinate everyone's work and take time out to arrange the affairs of the Xu Group.

With this busy schedule, Xu Chenghao almost didn't remember who Jing Yicheng was and had a grudge against him. Sometimes he would be busy with him, let him help manage the project team, and also hand over important positions to him, which caused Jing Yicheng to be surprised several times.

He thought that he would have another fat beating when we met today, but he didn't expect the other party to be so surprising, as he said, "public, public and private" are clearly distinguished.

In this regard, Jing Yicheng is also happy to see that as long as any task is given to him, he can solve it perfectly, and try to wash away his previous viciousness.

After a long time, the two even quickly developed a tacit understanding, and they got along more easily in business. Jing Yicheng even felt that if things continued like this, they might change from being enemies to friends.

However, it turns out that he still thinks too much.

Xu Chenghao started turning his face and ignoring people after work, holding his little yellow duck silently, even if he took an elevator, he was indifferent to the end, as if he couldn't see Jing Yicheng.

Jing Yicheng took the initiative to ask: "Still angry?"

Xu Chenghao didn't respond as if he didn't hear it, holding his little yellow duck.

Jing Yicheng: "Should I smash it for you?"

Xu Chenghao slowly raised his head.
