Chapter 307: Chapter 204: Endurance Value Acting Up (Part 2)

’In her dreams.’ Just one look at her face was enough to extinguish every last spark of desire in Chen Xiao.

’I’m not even sure if I should thank her.’

When Chen Xiao didn’t respond, she asked again, "Are you here on business?"

"Just looking around," he said flatly.

’I feel like a king surveying my own domain, yet Li Man is treating me like some pretty boy looking for an "opportunity"!’

"How about I show you around the presidential suite?"

The implication in her eyes was completely undisguised. Chen Xiao got goosebumps. "No, thanks!"

He walked past her.

"Hey, handsome! Let me tell you, the big boss here is a good friend of mine. If you need anything, just look for me. I can even get you a discount on a room!"

’She didn’t actually know if she could get a discount, but since Gao Yue was the group’s CEO, it should be a piece of cake.’

But to her surprise, Chen Xiao said coolly, "A discount? I stay here for free."

Li Man froze for a second. ’Hmph. So he does have the looks to back up his arrogance. The woman must be paying for everything. Of course *you* don’t have to pay!’

Seeing Chen Xiao head for the staff-only corridor, she called out, "Hey! Hey, handsome! That’s the employee entrance! It leads directly to the office area!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t be bothered to answer her. He had been about to confirm the route to the office area, but her shouting just proved he hadn’t made a wrong turn.

Li Man stomped her foot. ’What’s that handsome guy doing in the office area? Did he get a job here? I remember last time he said he was in sales for some tech company!’

’Well, if he works here, that’s great! I’ll be coming by more often, so I’ll get to see him all the time!’

’And once he finds out how well-connected I am... Hehehe!’

Li Man smirked deviously. She had an important task from Gao Yue and couldn’t afford to dally. ’As long as I know you’re here, it doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, you’ll be mine for the taking!’

Wealth certainly does breed confidence, and Li Man’s was overflowing at that moment.

He took the elevator upstairs and told the front desk he was there to see Mr. Gao.

The receptionist stared at the handsome, refined young man before her, momentarily lost in a daze.

Still, she stuck to her professional duties and asked, "May I have your name, sir? Do you have an appointment?"

"My name is Chen Xiao. I don’t have an appointment, but could you please let her know I’m here?"

She looked troubled. "Mr. Gao is very busy. Without an appointment, I’m afraid..."

She hesitated for a moment—likely unable to bring herself to turn away such a handsome, classy man—before saying, "Alright, I’ll see what I can do."

She explained the situation to Gao Yue’s assistant, Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng agreed to inform Gao Yue but chided her at the same time, "Don’t bring me anyone without an appointment next time. Do you have any idea how busy Mr. Gao is? I’m the one who’ll get chewed out!"

Gao Yue was in her office reviewing documents. It was her first day on the job, and she felt like she held the world in her hands. She glanced at her reflection a few times and, noticing a hint of Xu Wu’s powerful aura about herself, felt quite satisfied.

BEEP BEEP.

"Come in!"

"Mr. Gao, there’s a man named Chen Xiao here to see you."

"Ah~!" Gao Yue’s exclamations were particularly melodious, so she was rather fond of making them.

She shot to her feet. Xiao Feng jumped, thinking Mr. Gao was angry.

The next second, Gao Yue announced, "I’ll go get him myself!"

The receptionist said softly to Chen Xiao, "Don’t worry, we should have an answer for you in just a moment."

Inwardly, though, she felt it was a long shot, since the assistant hadn’t gotten back to her yet.

Just then, he heard a CLICK-CLACK-CLACK. He turned to see a woman in a white blouse, a black, hip-hugging skirt, and a pair of stilettos.

Her long, slender, pale legs came into view. Chen Xiao glanced down at himself, still wearing a light down jacket.

’Do women who care about fashion not feel the cold?’

The heating in the office was cranked up, so you wouldn’t freeze even if you wore nothing. Besides, this was Gao Yue’s work attire; she would change into casual clothes before going out.

"Chen..."

Chen Xiao shook his head and walked toward her.

The receptionist stared after them in astonishment. ’That handsome guy must be a real big shot for Mr. Gao to come out and greet him personally!’

Walking beside Gao Yue, smelling her fragrance, watching the sway of her slender waist and her wide, perky ass, wicked thoughts began to bubble up in his mind again.

’I’m screwed. How am I ever going to work with female colleagues in the future? What do I do?!’

’Do I have to surround myself with coworkers like Li Man just to stay calm?’

’I don’t get it. Ever since my Endurance Value passed 100, every point I add to Endurance seems to have a much, much stronger effect than it did before.’

’Too bad the system didn’t come with an instruction manual. He’d just have to figure it out as he went.’

The result of his "figuring it out" was that poor Xiangjun had to suffer for it... and so did Comrade Chen Xiao himself.

During that time of the month, Chen Xiao used to find holding back uncomfortable. Now, it was becoming unbearable. He felt like he was about to go crazy.

At night, when he lay in bed with his "long spear" having nowhere to go, he felt like ramming it right through the ceiling and into Xu Wu’s room.

He knew Xu Wu’s bedroom was directly above his.

That’s why every time Zhao Xiangjun would finally yell, "Go find Xu Wu! Go find Feng Feifei!"

...his urges would become so intense. He even considered convincing Feng Feifei to buy the apartment below his.

’That way, I’d have Xiangjun in my arms, Xu Wu above me, and Feng Feifei below me. Wouldn’t that be paradise!’

The man was completely unhinged. A single glance at Gao Yue’s pale legs was enough to spawn a universe of such thoughts.

So much so that when they entered Gao Yue’s office and she suddenly stopped, he didn’t even notice and walked right into her.

The impact sent Gao Yue stumbling forward onto the sofa. Losing his own balance, Chen Xiao’s hand shot out instinctively to grab something as he pitched forward, landing right on top of her back.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle was instantly raised high!

Gao Yue panicked at the sudden collision. When she felt something press against her from behind, she let out a sharp cry. "Ah!"

The side effects of Chen Xiao’s Endurance Value kicked in, and he subconsciously thrusted his hips twice.
