Hao Ren was inside the taxi when he heard a sound in his mind, *Ding: Host completed the task. Issuing Rewards.*
After a few seconds, he heard a notification go off on phone, "Dear Hao Ren, your savings account ending with number 7302 has been credited with 100,000 yuan. Your current balance is 101,000."
Hao Ren was shocked and mumbled, "Such an expensive smile?"
The system replied, *Ding: It is advised that the host should not compare the rewards with the happiness of his wife.*
Hao Ren woke up and nodded, he realized that it was very easy for him to go astray. He realized and then cald down a bit. As he was thinking about what to do with the money, the cab reached to his residence.
Hao Ren paid the money and made his way up a building where he lived in a rented apartnt. He found his landlord standing in the corridor, probably waiting for him.
Hao Ren greeted the middle-aged man, "Uncle Yang, why did you co up by yourself? I was about to send you the rest in the morning only."
Uncle Yang turned to look at him and hesitated for a bit, before he said, "Xiao Ren, I did not co here for the rent. Actually, I wanted to tell you that I will be needing the apartnt to be vacated."
Hao Ren was shocked and asked, "Uncle Yang, what happened? Did I make a mistake? I have been paying my rent on ti."
Uncle Yang sighed and replied, "Hao Ren it is not that you are in the wrong. My son is getting married two months later, and I need to get this place renovated for the new couple."
Hao Ren was left speechless, but since he could do nothing else, he asked, "Uncle Yang, congratulations! Can I take a week before I move? I would have to find a new place to live. It will take so ti."
Uncle Yang understood the situation and agreed to him. He said, "I will return you the deposit."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Give a discount on the rent this month and the deposit can be considered as my gift to your son's wedding."
Uncle Yang was surprised but Hao Ren was smiling. He did not understand what happened just now, because in his eyes, Hao Ren was a money grubber. Spending five hundred yuan of deposit was a big expense, Hao Ren had been living in this house for seven months, and being the neighbor, Yang had never seen him splurge on anything.
Hao Ren took out his phone and made a paynt, with only half the rent that was two hundred and fifty yuan. He said, "Uncle Yang, is it okay, if we catch up later? I am very tired today."
Uncle Yang nodded, and Hao Ren went inside his one bedroom apartnt. He changed his clothes took a shower, and fell asleep.

Han Lingshi had gotten back to her villa and was reading a book after dinner and freshening up when her gaze fell onto the flower package. She smiled and decided to place them in a vase. Many people gave her a lot of gifts, all expensive and extravagant, which included rare flowers. However, the reason she liked these flowers was because of how mundane they were.
The flower Hao Ren bought her was the most commonly found in their country, Fortune Marigold. It grew white in color and had a very light and soft fragrance. These could be found in almost any nursery, but they are not sold prominently. Reason? Because these flowers were presented by the people to each other when they were in love.
She thought that Hao Ren was trying to get chummy with her and she did not like such people. However, when she realized that the gift was sothing that did not cost more than ten yuan, she was relieved. Hao Ren was just expressing his goodwill in a kind fashion.
She looked forward to eting him in the morning and signing the contract. She had never been so curious about anyone, but this in-na husband of hers, she wanted to know more about him.
...
The night passed quickly and in the morning, Hao Ren woke up in a daze. Then after a few minutes he realized what happened the day before and called out, "System."
*Ding: Good morning to you, Host. Issuing the daily tasks."
Hao Ren was surprised and asked, "What do you an daily task?"
*Ding: Daily task program is to instill the host with discipline and it will also allow you to improve your stats in the long run."
Hao Ren was speechless, and stretched his arms, when the system continued, *Ding: Daily Tasks are as follow : Hundred push-ups, five kiloter running, and hundred squats.*
Hao Ren wanted to curse and yell, when his cellphone rang. He looked over and found it was Han Lingshi, he quickly picked up the device, and greeted, "Hello, Miss Han? Good morning."
Han Lingshi replied, "Good morning, Mister Hao, would you be free in the noon?"
Hao Ren replied cordially, "I will be free, Miss Han, also, can you please address as Hao Ren? I am just not used to the formal address."
Han Lingshi nodded and think that he was younger than her, she agreed and said, "Alright, I will schedule a proper appointnt this ti, and you can call if you face any trouble."
Hao Ren nodded and after wishing her well the call was disconnected. He got up and decided to tackle his daily tasks first. It took him two hours to finish them, and when he ca in the house, he sprawled on the ground in the doorway.
The system announced, *Ding: Daily Task finished, reward: a set of professional suit has been placed in the Hosts bedroom."
Hao Ren jumped off the ground to check the reward. He was going to the eting and did not wish to look like a fool.
...
In the noon, Han Lingshi was frowning as she looked at a file when her assistant ca in and said, "President, it is ti for the eting. Mister Hao Ren is waiting for you."
Han Lingshi was surprised and checked the ti as she said, "When did he arrive?"
The assistant replied, "He arrived at the reception five minutes ago, and as you instructed, he was guided to the conference room below."
Han Lingshi nodded and then she picked up her file and said, "The agreent has been re-checked, right?"
The assistant nodded and then the two left the cabin on their high heels. A few minutes later, when Han Lingshi spotted Hao Ren looking at the view for the city from the window, she was dazed. Her assistant noticed this and was shocked. The ice cold beauty Han Lingshi was ogling at a man.
Hao Ren saw them through the corner of his eye, and quickly turned around and greeted them. Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Take a seat, let us begin."
They both were going to sign the contract. Hao Ren received the dossier and began to read. However, after a few minutes, his brows furrowed hard as he said, "This does not seem to be right, Miss Han."
