Chapter 106: Unlock the hidden quest?
"No need! Consider this a gift from me, please accept it!"
"But the ring is too expensive. My mother said I can't accept it."
Qi Long waved his hand, sincerely holding the blue crystal ring, about to hand it over.
The Xi Shi Ring was of no use to Lin Tian.
If they really take it back, it's hard to guarantee that Tang Shishi's feelings won't change.
If the changes are too drastic, it might arouse suspicion.
He didn't want to get himself into trouble again!
"Just keep it. Your aunt already has my contact information. If she has any concerns, just have her call me directly!"
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go now. If there's anything urgent, just have Auntie contact me!"
Qi Long watched Lin Tian leave, his hand hanging down as he looked at the blue crystal ring that shone with a unique brilliance, his thoughts slightly lingering.
At the same time, as Lin Tian left, the system's notification sound flashed through his mind:
[Congratulations, host! Hidden mission completed]
This hidden quest will be triggered unexpectedly.
[The specific details of this hidden mission: Help Tang Shishi, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, find her true love.]
In order to complete the mission, the host gave the reward 'Xi Shi Ring' he received last time to the target Qi Long.
[This cashback reward includes 200 Romance Points]
[Hidden Quest Reward: 500 Marriage Points]
[Current Marriage Points: 800]
[This hidden mission was mastered by the host without any instruction; the Red Thread System has been upgraded! A tiered upgrade system for the host's matchmaker level has been added.]
The higher the host's level, the stronger the items obtained from the shop.
[Current Host Matchmaker Level: 2 (250 points remaining to upgrade to 3)]
[We hope the host will continue their efforts and obtain even more powerful items.]
...
There's a hidden quest?
This system seems to be getting more and more interesting.
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, hummed a little tune, went directly to the business center to buy some clothes, and then returned to the hotel.
Ding--
Lin Tian's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw that it was a notification from the previously vacant house regarding the management fee and utility bill payment.
Lin Tian had money, but this time he didn't choose to deposit it in the bank. Instead, he paid the full year's management fee for the house as soon as possible, and also prepaid tens of thousands of yuan for water and electricity fees with the staff.
He specifically requested that a bill be provided for the amount deducted each month, and the other party quickly agreed. Lin Tiancai finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down to rest.
The next day.
Lin Tian continued working at Fang's Restaurant.
He didn't find his job particularly interesting when he was a vice president, but now... he's completely immersed in it.
According to Fang's father, the restaurant was completely empty on Saturdays and Sundays when Lin Tian didn't work.
Old Master Fang held Lin Tian's hand earnestly and said, "Lin Tian, don't blame me for being blunt! I really hope that even if my employees come back, you will continue to stay and work. You bring so many customers to my restaurant, and I really don't want to lose you."
"You can name your salary when the time comes. You can pay me weekly, and Uncle won't refuse you."
Old Man Fang's words were indeed very tempting.
Moreover, Lin Tian also calculated that, apart from the two or three days he needed to play matchmaker, the weekdays from Monday to Friday would definitely be incredibly quiet.
Besides, who would complain about having too much money?
He didn't earn tens of trillions!
However, he still needed to think about it and dared not agree to it so easily.
"Please let me think about it. If I really have time, I will definitely agree."
Old Master Fang instantly perked up, grabbed Lin Tian's hand, and squeezed it tightly: "No problem! It's settled then!"
Fang's mother stood to the side, looking helplessly at her husband's expression, then nodded and smiled at Lin Tian, feeling quite embarrassed.
At his wife's prompting, the old man stopped arguing and immediately went to open the door.
Little did they know that as soon as the iron gate opened, the group of housewives standing at the door gave Old Man Fang quite a fright.
They craned their necks, smiling, "We heard from the hotel owner that Chef Lin is back? We've been waiting outside for quite a while now, can we go in and learn from Chef Lin now?"
The one leading the group was still the same auntie from last time.
Old Master Fang straightened his face and greeted them with a smile.
"Sure, no problem, everyone please come in!"
After the women found their seats, they followed the rules they had agreed upon with Lin Tian and began to study in pairs.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
This past Saturday and Sunday, Lin Tian received a message from his secretary.
Tang Shishi has changed a lot this week. She is willing to listen to her father and, under the care of her nanny, is studying with her teacher and picking up her previous studies.
However, practicing piano on Saturdays and Sundays had to be postponed.
However, Tang Shishi took the initiative to suggest finding Qi Long.
So Lin Tian will take a break this week.
He was definitely taking a break from his busy schedule, because he was even more tired this week!
Previously, only some aunties from the neighborhood came to learn from him. Now, his reputation has spread far and wide, and some aunties from other places are even coming to him specifically to learn cooking skills. They are all imitating that auntie who wasn't particularly talented, bringing their families to sit outside, learning and eating at the same time.
Old Master Fang was happy.
Lin Tian, however, was extremely exhausted.
He was relieved that he could rest on Saturday and Sunday and was preparing to sleep in for a couple of days when Xu Mengyun sent him a text message.
[Lin Tian, how's that thing you told me about last time going?]
Lin Tian was somewhat taken aback by the text message sent by Xu Mengyun.
He had just woken up from his nap and was about to go out to find something to eat when he received a text message from Xu Mengyun.
He pondered for a moment before answering.
【Well done! Thank you for your concern.】
【That's good……】
After that, there were no more new messages between the two on WeChat.
Lin Tian originally wanted to divert attention.
But after thinking it over, he realized that if he hadn't run into Xu Mengyun, he wouldn't have been able to handle things so efficiently, so... he still had to treat her to a meal.
Lin Tian pursed his lips, and after some hesitation, sent her a text message.
Is it convenient for you? I'd like to treat you to a meal.
【Now?】
【right. 】
I'll send you the address.
Lin Tian looked at the address, quickly tidied himself up, and after making sure his appearance was in order, he took his car keys and car and left the hotel.
Lin Tian drove his car around and around until he arrived at the entrance of a self-service restaurant.
He went inside and looked around.
Suddenly, she heard an urgent shout from the side: "Let go of me! We're on a blind date, not married yet. If you touch me again, I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"Oh ho! You've got quite a temper. I really don't understand what you're hesitating about. I'm a resident who got a house after my property was demolished; I have several million yuan in my pocket. If you spend the night with me and we settle our relationship today, you won't lose out!"
"Besides, you have a secure job, and being with me makes me look good!"
"If I'm happy, I'd gladly give your family hundreds of thousands in dowry when we get married!"
