Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at his refrigerator, which contained only some fruit, drinks, and beer—clearly not presentable enough to entertain guests.

So he took Tao Jiayi with him, drove to a nearby high-end tobacco and liquor store, bought a few cartons of Tianye liquor to keep in the car, and also selected two bottles of Zodiac Moutai to entertain Wu Zhe.

I also selected two bottles of Château Latour 2018 dry red wine from France. This red wine has fine tannins, a full-bodied taste, and subtle aromas of blackberry and vanilla, making it perfect for entertaining ladies.

When the two returned home with the cigarettes and alcohol, the private chef had already arrived with his assistant, carrying several bags full of fresh ingredients, including live lobsters, sea cucumbers, freshly cut steaks, and fresh vegetables, all of which looked very exquisite.

The private chef and his assistant skillfully entered the kitchen, with a clear division of labor. Soon, the sounds of chopping and preparing vegetables could be heard, and a rich aroma gradually filled the room.

At 7 p.m. sharp, the meal was ready on time, and a table full of exquisite dishes was placed on the table, with tempting colors and a fragrant aroma.

Cao Xu and Tao Jiayi straightened their clothes, walked together to the opposite door, and gently knocked on the door.

This time, it wasn't Wu Zhe who opened the door, but a woman.

She looked mature and intellectual, with a gentle yet somewhat aloof temperament. She wore a champagne-colored silk dress with excellent drape, which accentuated her shapely and graceful figure, making her appear exceptionally elegant.

She wore a pair of beige strappy sandals, revealing her fair and delicate feet with rounded and full toes, painted with retro black nail polish, which contrasted sharply with her fair skin and was particularly eye-catching.

Her chestnut brown wavy hair fell naturally over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled, making her face appear even smaller and more delicate. Her eyes and brows carried a hint of aloofness, yet her outstanding looks and temperament were undeniable.

At this moment, a notification appeared on the system panel:

This attribute is amazing; he is willing to carry forward the surname.

At this moment, Hulk Wu Zhe came out of the house with a bottle of red wine and introduced with a smile, "Wife, this is our new neighbor Cao Xu." Then, he turned to Cao Xu and pointed to the woman beside him, "Cao Xu, this is my wife Wen Ya, she is a teacher at Jinling University."

Cao Xu quickly greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Wen, I'm Cao Xu, and this is my girlfriend, Tao Jiayi. You've met before. Thank you so much for the fruit."

Tao Jiayi quickly nodded and greeted them, "Hello, Teacher Wen, hello, Brother Wu."

Wen Ya nodded slightly, her face expressionless, and greeted them in a calm tone, "Hello."

After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them went inside together and sat around the dining table.

Cao Xu opened the Zodiac Moutai and poured a glass for Wu Zhe and himself. The rich aroma of the liquor instantly spread.

Then, I brought out some red wine that had been decanted beforehand and poured a small glass for Wenya and Tao Jiayi each. The aroma of fruit and wine mingled together, creating an exceptionally intoxicating fragrance.

At the dinner table, the group ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Wu Zhe raised his glass, clinked it with Cao Xu's, and said with a smile, "I opened a gym in Xianlin University City, which is kind of like running my own small business. Here, take these two monthly passes. Bring your girlfriend over when you have time. Feel free to work out as much as you like, don't be shy."

As he spoke, he took out two monthly passes with the logo of the Jiuxiaomengtiandi gym printed on them from his pocket and handed them to Cao Xu.

Cao Xu quickly accepted the monthly pass and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wu. I won't be polite then. I'll definitely come over when I have time."

He also briefly introduced himself: "I am currently a junior at the University of Finance and Economics, and I haven't graduated yet. I do some financial investment in my spare time, which is enough to support myself."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhe's eyes showed a hint of surprise and admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, brother, you're so talented at such a young age!"

"You can buy a house here even before graduating. Houses in this complex are hard to find; there's a very low supply. Over 70% of the residents are faculty and staff from Jinling University. This house was originally allocated to my father-in-law, who is also a professor at Jinling University."

Cao Xu smiled and then proceeded to recount his methods for making money in the financial markets. He had used this same excuse countless times, and now he described it with ease.

She demonstrated how accurately she judged market trends and planned her investments. Now, she has not only bought a house and a car, but is also considering investing in real businesses to expand her business empire.

Wu Zhe nodded repeatedly, his admiration growing even stronger. He kept praising Cao Xu for being young and promising. The two chatted more and more congenially, drinking one cup of Moutai after another.

Meanwhile, Wen Ya's originally indifferent gaze gradually shifted, and her eyes held a hint of inquiry and appreciation as she looked at Cao Xu. She taught at Jinling University, one of the top ten universities in the country, and the undergraduates she usually encountered were either innocent or foolish, none of them as outstanding as him.

[System notification: Wenya's favorability has increased by 5 points, currently at 11 points.]

Tao Jiayi sat quietly to the side, just listening to their conversation. She had dropped out of school early. The couple next door were a university teacher and a gym owner. Cao Xu chatted and laughed with them, but she had nothing in common with them.

She knew that without Cao Xu, she and this couple would never have crossed paths.

From the moment she met Cao Xu, she knew he was a big spender and extravagant, but she always assumed that the money came from his family. This was the first time she realized that Cao Xu had earned all of it himself.

Looking at Cao Xu, who was calm, confident, and eloquent, and who was so capable, occasionally taking care of her by serving her food and pouring her drinks, and even introducing her to others as his girlfriend, her admiration and love for him grew even stronger.

[System notification: Tao Jiayi's favorability has increased by 2 point, currently at 80 points.]

"Congratulations, host. Tao Jiayi's favorability has been unlocked to 80. The reward is a BMW S1000RR motorcycle, professional driving skills, and a driver's license. You can go to the Tieqi BMW Motorcycle 4S store in Jiangning District to collect it at any time."

In an instant, a vast and complex body of professional motorcycle driving knowledge flooded into Cao Xu's mind like a burst dam.

It was as if he had devoted himself to studying motorcycle driving for more than ten years and had long since become a seasoned professional rider.

From basic vehicle handling to advanced emergency techniques, including shifting rhythm control, core braking skills, cornering, straight driving, hill parking, and routine vehicle inspection and maintenance.

The feeling wasn't a rigid indoctrination of knowledge, but rather an innate sense of proficiency, as if he had already mastered these skills, only they had been temporarily sealed away and were now being fully awakened.

Cao Xu couldn't help but marvel at the system's power.

Tao Jiayi's favorability rating instantly increased, the system rewards were instantly distributed, and the skill infusion was also completed instantly. The aroma of wine and laughter mingled at the dinner table, and no one noticed his unusual behavior. The friendship between the new neighbors also quietly warmed up during this meal.

After enjoying the meal to their hearts' content, the group exchanged contact information. Wu Zhe and Wen Ya then said their goodbyes and went home. Wen Ya's favorability rating had reached 30 points, which was considered polite, normal social interaction, and at the level of ordinary friends.

[System notification: Wenya's favorability has increased by 1 points, currently at 30 points.]
