The skyline of Jingzhou glimmered under a soft morning haze. Shen Moze sat in Qinglong Manor, coffee in hand, casually scrolling system notifications.
[System Notification: Suggested action — monitor competitor movements. Potential outcome: protect Qingzhou import-export firm from sabotage. Points +70.]
He smirked. Rivals thinking they can test me? Cute.
Across town, a group of business rivals, still smarting from his overseas villa and international deals, whispered over a plan to sabotage one of his Qingzhou import-export contracts.
"Once we mess with the logistics, he'll be forced to pull out," one said confidently.
They didn't know Shen Moze already knew.
Shen Moze leaned back, letting the system feed him real-time insights.
[System Note: Sabotage attempt detected. Suggested countermeasure: reroute shipments + adjust delivery schedules. Outcome: minimal risk, points +50.]
He tapped his phone lightly. Within minutes, the shipments were rerouted discreetly, suppliers notified, and delivery timelines adjusted.
No panic. No fuss. Just results.
By mid-afternoon, his family was gathered in the living room.
"Moze… you're too calm about these things," Shen Lin said, amazed.
"Relax," Moze said casually. "Rivals panic; we work smarter. It's fun to watch."
His mother chuckled. "You really are untouchable, aren't you?"
Charm points ticking quietly.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuxin scrolled social media. Rumors of a "failed sabotage attempt" and Moze's calm handling circulated.
Her eyes narrowed. He didn't even seem phased. The jealousy that had been simmering for weeks flared silently.
Later, Shen Moze attended a casual rooftop meeting with Vivian, the villa agent from Hong Kong.
"Another competitor trying to play games?" she asked, teasing.
"Yep," he replied casually, coffee in hand. "But the game's mine."
Their laughter carried easily across the terrace. Nothing was serious, yet the tension between charm, control, and subtle intimacy lingered.
[System Note: Romantic interaction ongoing. Charm +20.]
The evening brought him to the Qingzhou import-export warehouse, where rival trucks had attempted minor delays. He observed calmly, leaning against a rail, checking the system updates.
[System Note: Sabotage neutralized. Reputation +50, Points +100.]
Staff worked efficiently, unaware that the rival attempt had been preempted. Shen Moze didn't interfere unnecessarily. He let the system handle the logistics while maintaining casual, confident presence.
Back at Qinglong Manor, he reviewed profits from the day's trades:
Sabotage neutralized, rival plan foiled effortlessly
System-assisted trades executed: profit ¥1,500,000
Social / public impact: classmates, rivals, and Tang Yuxin buzzing quietly
Charm and reputation points: steadily increasing
Before bed, Shen Moze leaned on the balcony, city lights twinkling like scattered gems.
He didn't dwell on Tang Yuxin's jealousy, but he noticed it indirectly: social media comments, gossip from acquaintances, subtle hints of irritation.
Exactly how it should be.
