Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier

An affection rating of 80 meant she was already starting to consider it.

Whether she should pursue a more intimate relationship with Qi Sheng.

Treating Qi Sheng and Zong Rui to a lavish dinner before she came to a decision would ease her conscience a little.

"Well then, we won't be shy, Sister Man."

Qi Sheng didn't know many restaurants in Shanghai, so he simply let Qu Man pick the place.

Qu Man chose a well-regarded Western restaurant and sent the location to Qi Sheng.

Driving his Bentley with two beautiful women in tow, he arrived at Yanyan Western Restaurant, located next to the East Lake Hotel.

The decor was very American in style; it was an authentic steakhouse.

"Manman, this place is so expensive! The tomahawk steak is 3,280!"

Zong Rui suddenly felt hesitant to order it.

She knew how hard her best friend worked for her money.

"I'm not that broke. I can still afford to treat you two to a nice dinner," Qu Man said with a smile, reassuring Zong Rui.

"Besides, I'm about to start at Banyan Tree Group. My pre-tax annual salary will be 500,000."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot you were switching jobs. I should get used to calling you the boss's wife."

Zong Rui said, teasing Qu Man with a smile.

"If you don't call me the boss's wife, watch out. I might just make things hard for you."

"Oh yeah? Let's see how you like it when I tickle you..."

Watching the two of them horsing around, Qi Sheng had no choice but to take over the task of ordering.

"The pre-dinner bread, a tomahawk steak, slow-cooked salmon salad, French oysters, beef carpaccio, American-style thick-cut beef tongue, a sea urchin and butter rice bowl, and three fresh-squeezed orange juices."

As Qi Sheng ordered, he deliberately estimated the total cost, keeping it under 5,000.

As for the dining experience, it was decent enough.

It was worth the price, but nothing particularly amazing.

'And to think a restaurant like this, costing over a thousand per person, could be this popular.'

'If Yu Tu and Zifei opened a place with a buff from the system in the future…'

'…their business would probably be even more explosive.'

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qi Sheng and the others first accompanied Qu Man to her rented apartment to pick up her luggage.

Since she had changed jobs, she naturally had to change where she lived.

The apartment Qu Man was renting was only three kilometers from the Regent Hotel, where she used to work.

"China Real Estate East China Building?"

"Manman, this place you're living in is a bit too shabby, isn't it?"

After getting out of the car, Zong Rui curiously sized up the old-fashioned apartment building before her, which looked to be over a decade old.

It was worlds apart from the National Gold Mansion she lived in back in Chengdu.

"What, you think this is Chengdu? Rent for a place like this is 6,000 a month."

Qu Man rolled her eyes at Zong Rui and led them into the apartment building.

She pressed the button for the 11th floor. Watching the elevator shake, Qu Man felt a little embarrassed.

But this was the best place she could afford within her budget.

"Manman, you've really had it rough."

Zong Rui hugged Qu Man's arm.

Thinking of her own place, she couldn't help but feel her heart ache for her best friend.

To be so stunningly beautiful, yet live in such an ordinary residential complex.

If anyone found out, they'd find it hard to believe.

"This is actually pretty good. At least I live alone comfortably," Qu Man smiled. "The only thing is, it gets a little scary coming home at night. This building has two elevators for ten units per floor, so there are a lot of residents."

"That's too dangerous! Honey, you should get a room for Manman at the hotel. It'll save her the trouble of going back and forth."

The thought of Qu Man having to be on edge every time she came home made Zong Rui's heart ache for her even more.

"Yeah, I'll have someone set a room aside later. Besides, Sister Man won't be staying there for long anyway."

Qi Sheng had actually been thinking the same thing.

'A woman with Qu Man's looks, living in an old apartment building with so many different people…'

'…was like Little Red Riding Hood tempting the Big Bad Wolf.'

'If she ever ran into a drunk, she wouldn't even have time for regrets.'

"Thank you."

'I've already accepted the clothes, bag, and watch,' Qu Man thought. 'A place to stay isn't much different.'

'If it comes to it, I'll just have to work harder for Qi Sheng.'

Apartment 1304.

Qu Man took out her key, opened the door, and got two pairs of women's slippers from near the entrance.

"I don't have any men's slippers here. You'll have to make do."

"It's fine. Ruirui, why don't you help Sister Man pack?"

Qi Sheng smiled, put on the slippers, and sat down on the living room sofa to play on his phone.

Meanwhile, Qu Man and Zong Rui started packing clothes.

When it comes to women's things, it doesn't take much packing before you have a huge pile.

But since she was moving into a hotel this time, she couldn't bring too much.

Things like her hair dryer could just be left behind.

In the end, they packed four cardboard boxes, and Qi Sheng personally moved them.

He stuffed the Bentley's trunk and front passenger seat until they were completely full.

The landlady was very polite and readily returned Qu Man's security deposit.

From her words, it was clear she was sorry to see Qu Man leave.

She kept emphasizing how outstanding her own son was.

She clearly had ideas about making Qu Man her daughter-in-law.

"Ma'am, see that handsome guy over there? He's a big boss who drives a Bentley, and he's Manman's boyfriend."

Zong Rui pointed to Qi Sheng, who was on the phone, and gave Qu Man a suggestive wink.

"Huh? So Manman has a boyfriend?"

The landlady gave an awkward laugh and quickly made herself scarce, not daring to mention making Qu Man her daughter-in-law again.

"Ruirui!"

Qu Man shot Zong Rui an embarrassed, annoyed glare.

'This best friend of hers is really sparing no effort to set her up with Qi Sheng.'

"I'm just telling it like it is. Is there any man in your life more outstanding than Qi Sheng?"

Zong Rui knew Qu Man exceptionally well.

She knew perfectly well that Qu Man and Qi Sheng were on the verge of getting together.

"How about this: when we get back to the hotel, I'll go to the spa, and you two can have some free time."

Seeing Qi Sheng walk over, Zong Rui quickly advised Qu Man.

"We're best friends. I would never steer you wrong."

Qu Man looked at Qi Sheng, recalling the many things Zong Rui had told her about him.

'Sure, he was a playboy, but he treated every one of his girlfriends very well.'

'In terms of companionship and material possessions, he was the model of a perfect boyfriend.'
