Maintaining a good figure is really difficult.
But the system directly treated it as a task reward.
So I had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, Aunt Shen."
Li Zhiyan knew that most women born in the '80s preferred using voice messages when chatting on WeChat.
So he sent a voice message to Shen Hongmei too.
"I'll message you tonight, then we can have dinner together."
Afterward, Shen Hongmei sent a smiling emoji and didn't reply further.
Looking at that emoji, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel like he'd been scolded.
But considering a mature woman at 42, sending such an emoji probably just meant a sincere smile.
After Shen Hongmei sent him the message, Li Zhiyan lost the mood to keep gaming.
By around seven in the evening.
He received a video call from Shen Hongmei.
When Shen Hongmei's slightly time-marked yet charming face appeared on the screen.
Li Zhiyan couldn't help but recall last night's madness in his head.
42-year-old Shen Hongmei truly knew everything.
She taught him so much and completely opened the door to a whole new world for him.
"Aunt Shen."
"Li Zhiyan, come to Spicy Manor Hot Pot, Auntie will send you the location."
Li Zhiyan couldn't quite figure out Shen Hongmei's intentions, but he was indeed hungry, so he grabbed a Qingju bike and headed straight to Spicy Manor.
...
Walking into the hot pot restaurant, Li Zhiyan saw Shen Hongmei sitting there from afar, waiting for the divided pot to boil.
At that moment, the system's task reward was granted!
Li Zhiyan immediately activated the Body Enhancement.
He distinctly felt his body becoming a lot stronger, and when he touched his stomach, he even had abs!
This system's rewards were truly powerful!
When he approached Shen Hongmei, he noticed a slightly tipsy woman sitting next to her.
Perhaps because she was drunk.
The delicate face of this somewhat frail-looking woman was flushed, making her appear stunningly attractive.
Though her height looked to be only about 160 cm.
But she truly was a fine branch bearing ripe fruit—a rarity.
Her classic alluring housewife beauty differed from Shen Hongmei's elegant femme fatale looks, yet both mature women brought a tremor to Li Zhiyan's heart.
"Aunt Shen."
"Xiao Yan, take a seat."
"Let me introduce you. This is Aunt Lai Feifei."
"She owns over a dozen properties and specializes in collecting rent."
The envy in Li Zhiyan's eyes was impossible to conceal. Over a dozen properties in Shanghai?
This was a true wealthy woman!
Indeed, wealthy women's friends were all wealthy women. Now *this* was the real Shanghai Aunt crew.
"Hi, Li Zhiyan, your Aunt Shen specifically asked me to introduce you to a job."
"Besides, I'm also your landlord."
As she spoke, she raised her wine glass and took another sip.
"Stop drinking, you drunkard. You get wasted every day."
Shen Hongmei's tone was helpless. Her bestie really could drink like a fish.
"That's just me…"
"You know how it is—there's no man around. My ex-husband was useless, and now life's just lonely."
She said while grabbing Shen Hongmei's hand.
"Hongmei, be honest now."
"Is this Li Zhiyan your boyfriend?"
"Your taste is spectacular nowadays."
"You're really living the life, huh?"
"Are you feeding Li Zhiyan every night?"
Even though Shen Hongmei had a remarkably strong heart, she found it hard to handle at this moment. Her drunken bestie had always been rather uninhibited with her words.
"Aunt Lai, feeding what?"
For a moment, Li Zhiyan couldn't quite grasp the meaning.
"What are you even saying now?"
"If your Aunt Shen doesn't mind…"
"Why don't you follow Auntie to the restroom later and find out?"
"Auntie doesn't mind anyway."
"I'm just afraid your drinking tolerance isn't great, so you might get drunk."
Shen Hongmei pulled her back.
"Tone it down, Lai Feifei. It's one thing to be full of wild talk with us normally, but there's a kid here now."
"Hurry and discuss the job situation!"
Lai Feifei got up and sat down next to Li Zhiyan.
She was still holding her wine glass.
Li Zhiyan could sense it—she was indeed a tenth-level drunkard, and one who spoke wildly at that.
Still, despite the amount of alcohol she consumed, she smelled wonderful, with an especially enchanting fragrance…
