I’m so jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got a lot of free time today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu poured her a cup of coffee. \"I can’t believe you have time to run over here for a chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really. I just finished up a contract negotiation with a client. I was driving by your building, so I thought I’d pop in and say hi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu said, \"I was actually thinking that since I’m free today, I could take Xu Yun over to Junhao Law Firm to get that agreement signed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s not in today. He took the day off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu asked, \"What for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you his supervisor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu shot her a look. \"A supervisor doesn’t get involved in personal lives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu teased meaningfully, \"Then why did he order you that brown sugar ginger tea when you were on your period? How was it? Did it warm you up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all your fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu said helplessly, \"I’m honestly afraid you’re going to sell me out one of these days. You even told him about my period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m doing this for your own good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu laughed. \"You’ve been divorced for almost two years. A woman who’s... been around the block, let’s say. You need a little romance to keep you vibrant, or the flower will wilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should worry about yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu retorted, blushing, \"I’m not as desperate as you are. I’m perfectly fine on my own, thank you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu tried to persuade her. \"Look, Xu Yun is handsome, he has money, he’s a nice guy, and he’s a little into you. You could have a secret office romance. A little behind-the-scenes flirting at work... just think how exciting that would be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re that horny, go find a man for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu shot her another look. \"Don’t come here with all your lewd talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two of them were chatting, Xu Yun walked into the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t just some nobody anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After buying coffee for everyone a few times, their attitudes toward him had warmed up considerably. People kept greeting him all the way to his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned each greeting and said with a smile, \"I ordered coffee. Don’t forget to grab some for yourselves later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His announcement was met with a chorus of \"thank yous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made his way to Su Mu’s office and knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he walked in, he said, \"Sister Su, at worst this counts as being late, not taking a day off. You can’t dock too much of my pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just finished speaking when he saw Li Jinshu sitting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came here just for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu stood up and said with a smile, \"Why don’t you just take the day off? I’ll take you to the law firm to sign that agreement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works, but I’ll need Manager Su’s approval.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun looked at Su Mu and sighed. \"Otherwise she’ll dock my perfect attendance bonus again. It’s not easy for me to make a living, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on. I’ll let it slide this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu said, feigning a cold and professional tone, \"But not again. The company has rules and regulations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Manager Su.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Mu’s strictly business attitude today, Xu Yun wasn’t foolish enough to believe it was just because of her period anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She clearly has a problem with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But I haven’t done anything to offend her!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s her problem?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Before, I might have wondered where I went wrong and tried to smooth things over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now, I’m not going to put up with this from any woman.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t care who she is.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, without saying anything more to Su Mu, he turned directly to Li Jinshu and said, \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s gotten into these two?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the office, Li Jinshu drove the company car with Xu Yun toward Junhao Law Firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Li Jinshu asked curiously, \"What’s going on between you and Su Mu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I know? She just suddenly started acting this way yesterday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shot back, \"You don’t know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun chuckled. \"Isn’t it because of her period?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A period might make someone irritable, but it wouldn’t completely change their attitude.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The way Su Mu treated Xu Yun just now was like he was a regular colleague, or even a stranger. Not like a friend.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mind her. She can be a bit of a contradiction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu thought for a moment before offering an analysis. \"She probably thinks you’re interested in her, but since she doesn’t want to be in a relationship right now, she’s deliberately drawing a line between you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Xu Yun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This just shows you don’t understand women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu said deliberately, \"A woman only acts like this when she starts to care about someone. So, maybe she has feelings for you, too. You should be a little bolder sometimes, show your manly side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, next time you could just charge into her office and forcefully kiss her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun rolled his eyes. \"You’re a real great best friend to her, aren’t you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s not being manly, that’s committing a crime!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I actually listened to her crazy advice, I’d be kissing her in the morning and getting locked up in a cell by the afternoon!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two of them arrived at Junhao Law Firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firm occupied an entire floor of a luxury office building in the Jiangcheng CBD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had called ahead, a receptionist led them to Luo Dongxu’s office as soon as they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lawyer Luo, I brought him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinshu gestured to the man beside her. \"This is Xu Yun, the client I mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Xu, a pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Dongxu stood up. \"I’m one of the lawyers here, Luo Dongxu. I believe Jinshu has already told you about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun smiled. \"Lawyer Luo, when can we sign the agreement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can do it right now. Just a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Dongxu hadn’t expected him to be in such a rush. He immediately asked his assistant to fetch the agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, two copies of the agreement were brought in and placed in front of Xu Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun picked one up and signed it without even looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Dongxu asked with a smile, \"Mr. Xu, aren’t you going to read it first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun replied, \"Besides, if top-tier lawyers like you really wanted to screw me over on the contract, a layman like me wouldn’t be able to spot it anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s absolutely not going to happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Dongxu said, \"I have a general understanding of your case. I happen to be free for the next few days, so I’ll get right on it. My assistant may contact you from time to time for some case-related documents. I hope you’ll be able to provide them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. Any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, \"I only have one demand: one hundred sixty-six thousand. I want every last cent of it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Dongxu said confidently, \"Don’t worry, Mr. Xu. I’ll make sure it gets done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the agreement, Xu Yun transferred 500,000 to the firm’s account as stipulated in the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Faced with one of life’s trivialities, the Host chose to Do as You Please by purchasing exclusive personal legal services.

It was a text from his bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun looked at the 1,830,000 balance on his card, his heart filled with sweet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Other than the time I bought the house, this was the second major cash reward from the system.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does this mean...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can start thinking about buying a car?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1386,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:07.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ba0ed1d622d76852f84c55f4f88abc024a3a5eafdd61f9b66e4bbdc6dae311b","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-22","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-20",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
