God Hao: A Hundred Times the Cashback, White Dress School Flowers Secretly Love Me

100: Stirring up a hornet’s nestThat evening, Ye Ze didn’t go to any live streams. Tonight’s time belonged only to him.

After dinner, he went straight to the study. He had bought a wall full of books when he first moved in.

He felt his recent life was a bit too monotonous, and he needed to read to enrich himself.

【Ding, triggered a random challenge: Read until the candle goes out.】

【Challenge success reward: Lie detection. Challenge failure penalty: Hair outside the head grows 5 times more vigorously.】

Huh?

Hair outside the head grows 5 times more vigorously?

Does it want him to degenerate into a monkey? Or does it want him to cosplay a sea urchin?

But this reward is pretty good, lie detection. Won’t things go smoother in the future!

【Countdown starts. If the candle is not lit within 10 minutes, the challenge is considered failed.】

Damn it! This time there’s a time limit!

Ye Ze had no time to complain and quickly went downstairs to ask Gong Yi, ”Do we have candles at home?”

”Yes, I bought several before in case of a power outage.”

Seeing the red countdown, Ye Ze was extremely anxious: ”Where are they? I need one right now.”

Seeing this, Gong Yi quickly went to the utility room to look for candles.

Ye Ze thought: Please don’t tell me you can’t find them now!

Fortunately, Gong Yi and Auntie Zhen were very good at organizing, and they got the candle out in just 3 minutes.

The moment he saw the candle, Ye Ze swallowed.

”So big?”

Gong Yi: ”Yes, our house is big. A small candle wouldn’t burn for long if we really needed it.”

”I specifically chose this kind!”

Ye Ze twitched his mouth and forced a smile: ”Uh, well done...”

He wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart. Gong Yi! You’ve ruined me!

This is as big as the large candles used for weddings in Gong Yi’s era! Both sour and long! (Not a typo)

Wouldn’t watching this candle burn out mean staying up all night? He should have had the thought of reading tomorrow morning instead.

”Gong Yi, please bring a pot of hot tea and some food to the study later.”

”Okay!”

Returning to the study, Ye Ze took a copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude from the bookshelf, took a deep breath, and lit the candle.

He had read One Hundred Years of Solitude a few times before, but each time he couldn’t get past a few dozen pages.

Let’s see if he can get into it this time.

【Challenge starts.】

Ye Ze cast aside distracting thoughts and immersed himself in the book.

Unexpectedly, he got into it this time. The characters whose relationships he previously found complicated automatically sorted themselves out clearly in his mind.

Completely immersed, Ye Ze didn’t even know when Gong Yi brought in the tea and food...

......

Xiao Suxin didn’t stream today. After posting a message saying she was resting and wouldn’t stream today, she started researching how to start a company.

Her brother trusted her so much, she had to show her attitude.

The simplest thing would be to open a media company. She could let her brother vet the people she hired, giving him a sense of participation.

However, she was more inclined to create a comprehensive company. Short dramas are also very popular now, and the public acceptance of small web series with small investment and high returns is also very high.

She could start with these, and later, when the company is on the right track, she could even establish a dedicated film and television company to make movies.

As for TV dramas, that would be discussed later. Obtaining the relevant qualifications is quite troublesome.

She had worked for many years and knew several people who were diligent but were targeted in the company for not flattering their superiors.

After the preliminary plan is approved, she can ask for their willingness when recruiting.

The more she thought about it, the more motivated she became. Xiao Suxin was busy until the early hours of the morning before going to sleep.

And the poor Ye Ze was still struggling with the book! It was 3 AM, and the candle still had one-third left to burn.

It seems he really has to stay up all night...

He didn’t eat much in the evening, so Ye Ze was a little hungry and ate some snacks Gong Yi brought up.

She also thoughtfully sent a thermos of tea so he could drink something warm.

【Ding, detected task is halfway complete, rewarding 1 task point.】

Hearing the system’s voice, Ye Ze was happy. This was the first time there was a reward for completing half a task.

That little bit of dissatisfaction with the system immediately vanished...

He took another sip of strong tea to refresh himself and continued to bury himself in reading.

At 6 AM, his usual waking time, he finally heard the system’s voice.

【Task successful, Lie Detection has been issued.】

Ye Ze only felt a breeze sweep through his mind. It seemed he had already acquired this ability.

Excitedly, he walked out of the study, planning to find Tian Feng to try it out.

Tian Feng was already in the gym. He was startled when he saw his Boss with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

”Boss, didn’t you sleep well yesterday? Such big dark circles!”

”It’s nothing. Let me ask you a question, among the women around me, who do you think is the most beautiful based on your aesthetic?”

Tian Feng thought for a moment: ”The one who brought the child yesterday.”

A small panel appeared before Ye Ze’s eyes, displaying: Truth.

So that’s how it works! That’s really convenient!

This Tian Feng is okay, good taste. Xiao Suxin having the highest rating naturally means she’s good-looking.

He looked at Tian Feng with satisfaction: ”We’ll train again tonight. I’m going to catch up on some sleep first!”

Without even bothering to wash up, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep...

......

Mother Xu was idle every day. Besides shopping, she would go out to play mahjong.

Today was no exception.

However, as soon as she arrived, she felt the atmosphere was off, especially Liu Taitai, who had mocked her last time, looking at her with fiery eyes.

It made her feel completely uncomfortable!

Sure enough, after only 2 rounds of mahjong, Liu Taitai couldn’t hold back: ”Xu Taitai, how did your daughter do her self-media? Can you teach my daughter?”

”My daughter said Mo Mo is particularly amazing. She’s only filmed a few videos, and people are already asking her to shoot commercials.”

After saying that, Liu Taitai felt a little embarrassed herself and quickly added: ”You know, our family doesn’t lack money, we just want my daughter to have something to do.”

Mother Xu immediately became smug: ”I can’t make the decision for Mo Mo on this. Can’t you just let your daughter copy it one to one?”

Liu Taitai was anxious inside. This old woman, asking you was giving you face, and you’re putting on airs!

Of course, her daughter tried to copy it, but no one watched!

She’s already made 2 videos, and the total likes haven’t even broken 100...

That’s why she thought of asking Mother Xu.

Her daughter does nothing at home all day. It’s one thing that she can’t compare to the Xu family’s girl in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she can’t even compare in making videos.

She was fuming at home.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the other two Taitais smoothed things over: ”Oh, that’s a matter for the young people. Why don’t you just let your girl ask Mo Mo directly?”

But Mother Xu didn’t give face: ”This kind of thing, teaching the apprentice starves the master. I can’t teach.”

With words reaching this point, Liu Taitai completely lost face.

”Hmph, if you don’t teach, then don’t. My daughter isn’t incapable either. What are you being so arrogant about? Anyone who didn’t know would think you were the one who became popular!”

Mother Xu’s good mood today was completely gone. That dead girl Xu Momo had blocked her, where was she supposed to contact her!

Liu Taitai had just poked a hornet’s nest today, which is why Mother Xu didn’t even bother to keep up appearances.

In the end, the mahjong game ended unhappily before it was even finished. Mother Xu and Liu Taitai each took their bags and went home by car.

Leaving the remaining two Taitais in disarray on the spot...

They looked at each other: ”What’s going on...”

”Exactly, both of them are like they’ve eaten gunpowder.”
