Being respectfully and attentively served by a stunning and sensual beauty—this was a fantasy many men had imagined.
But few could turn that fantasy into reality.
In today’s world, there were far more single men than women.
For most, simply having a wife or a girlfriend was already a great achievement—who would dare to dream of having such an alluring, seductive beauty serving them with such reverence?
So, many of the men around them cast envious and jealous glances at Mu Bai.
Some even whispered amongst themselves. But Mu Bai, with his sharp hearing, caught every word.
“Damn, that woman in business attire is too sexy and seductive.”
“Yeah, and she’s top-tier in looks too. She’s so young… hell, if I could have a girlfriend like that, I’d be willing to trade ten years of my life.”
“Tch, every beautiful woman has a man who’s sick of sleeping with her. Look at that guy—he’s barely even reacting, and she’s still sucking up to him like that.”
“Ugh, comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.”
…
Hearing these various exclamations of amazement and envy, Mu Bai couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Especially that one line—“Every beautiful woman has a man who’s sick of sleeping with her.”—it was such a classic that he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Still, he didn’t dwell on it. He continued eating, listening quietly to the murmurs around him.
About half an hour later, after finishing their meal, he and Jiang Wenwen left the restaurant under the gazes of many patrons.
When some of them saw that it was Jiang Wenwen who paid the bill, whispers of “gold digger” and “scumbag” could be heard in hushed voices.
But Mu Bai only chuckled lightly, completely unbothered.
At that moment, he turned to Jiang Wenwen and said, “Alright, take me to your manager.”
Right now, his priority was to complete the “Billionaire Aura” side quest as soon as possible. After all, the task had a strict 24-hour time limit, making it quite urgent.
However, the rewards were incredibly generous—especially since it would unlock new system features.
That alone was reason enough for him to push forward.
“Yes, of course, Mr. Mu. I’ll take you there right away.”
“Alright.”
With that, the two of them exchanged polite words as they stepped out of the hotel. Jiang Wenwen flagged down a taxi and took Mu Bai to her company’s sales office.
Even in the taxi, she continued providing the best possible service, making sure Mu Bai was as comfortable as possible.
The taxi driver couldn’t help but praise, “Young man, you’re really lucky to have such a sweet, gentle, and gorgeous girlfriend!”
Mu Bai merely chuckled softly and replied, “Heh, I guess so.”
He didn’t bother explaining. Nor did he feel like it.
Instead, he leaned back in the passenger seat, gazing out the window at the darkening sky.
Winter nights fell early.
Even though it was barely 7 PM, the sky was already pitch black, almost impenetrable.
Most businesses had already adjusted their schedules for the season, meaning employees had long since clocked out for the day.
But when Mu Bai and Jiang Wenwen arrived at their destination, he noticed that the sales office was still brightly lit, bustling with activity.
“Hmm? Your company doesn’t close at this hour?” Mu Bai asked curiously as they stepped out of the taxi.
“Nope,” Jiang Wenwen nodded. “For us salespeople, there’s no such thing as set working hours. Our base salary is low, and the majority of our income comes from commissions. So as long as there are business opportunities or potential clients, it doesn’t matter if it’s this late—or even midnight—we’ll get up and serve them. Our company’s philosophy is ‘customer first.’”
Mu Bai chuckled softly at that. “Customer first? Heh.”
Because he knew—what they really meant was “money first.”
In an era where money ruled all, having wealth truly meant receiving the highest level of treatment.
After that brief exchange, Mu Bai followed Jiang Wenwen into the sales office.
Upon entering, several salespeople greeted Jiang Wenwen warmly.
Many of them noticed Mu Bai and immediately began teasing her.
“Whoa, Wenwen! Is that your boyfriend? He’s so handsome!”
“Is he your client? Damn, he looks so young!”
Jiang Wenwen responded to their good-natured teasing with polite smiles and friendly replies.
Deep down, though, she really did wish she could be this charming young man’s girlfriend.
But she knew better.
A mysterious, wealthy young man like Mu Bai was completely out of her reach.
Even if Mu Bai didn’t end up purchasing a billion-yuan villa in Xuanwu Zhongshan and was just joking around…
The fact that he had casually dropped over two million yuan on an apartment in Shuimo Linju just a few days ago was already proof that he was on a whole different level from her.
Sure, in TV dramas, there were always those ridiculous plots where the domineering CEO fell in love with an ordinary girl.
But Jiang Wenwen was well aware that real life wasn’t a fairytale—there were no miraculous, Cinderella-like romances.
And sure enough, as she smiled and responded to her colleagues’ jokes, she turned to glance at Mu Bai…
She found that he showed no awkwardness, no reaction at all.
He didn’t even bother clarifying or saying a single word.
That’s when Jiang Wenwen realized—Mu Bai wasn’t staying silent because he agreed with them.
He was staying silent because he simply didn’t care.
It was like…
A soaring eagle wouldn’t waste time explaining itself to a flock of sparrows.
Because even if the eagle explained, a sparrow could never comprehend the vast sky the eagle saw.
Likewise, even if Mu Bai told them he was here to buy a billion-yuan mansion, these colleagues would probably just laugh it off in disbelief.
