The opulent villa was already filled with guests, who mingled and exchanged greetings with raised glasses and nods.
Each male guest was accompanied by a beautiful female companion.
The higher a man's status, the more stunning the woman by his side.
When Song Chuan entered with Zhu Suosuo, they immediately drew the attention of the crowd, heads turning in their direction.
Beside them stood another beautiful woman in a white dress—the day's host, Jiang Nansun.
Jiang Nansun took Zhu Suosuo's hand and pouted playfully. "I told you to come earlier! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
*It's all because of this guy, Song Chuan,* Zhu Suosuo thought, shooting him a resentful glance. She patiently explained, "Don't be mad."
"Didn't you want to meet my boyfriend?"
She released Nansun's hand and linked her arm with Song Chuan's, smiling sweetly. "Let me introduce him—this is my boyfriend, Song Chuan."
Jiang Nansun exchanged a glance with Song Chuan and her eyes lit up.
When Zhu Suosuo entered with Suo Suo, she had been so focused on her friend that she hadn't even noticed the handsome man.
"Not bad, you've got good taste."
"Suo Suo, I haven't seen you in days! I've missed you so much. Come upstairs with me and let's talk."
"But..."
*If Jiang Nansun drags her upstairs to talk, Song Chuan will be left alone down here.*
Zhu Suosuo glanced at Song Chuan reluctantly, not wanting to leave him.
Song Chuan patted her head. "It's fine. Go keep your best friend company. I'll wait here for you."
"Exactly! You two are living together anyway, you'll have plenty of time to be lovey-dovey later. I've finally managed to see you—come keep me company!"
"Nansun, won't it be rude to leave him alone here?"
"Don't worry, Yongzheng will be here soon. Let the two men wait downstairs for us."
Zhu Suosuo knew what kind of person Wang Yongzheng was.
He was very outgoing and friendly. With him around, Song Chuan wouldn't be bored at all.
With this thought, Zhu Suosuo nodded and followed Jiang Nansun into the room.
*Wang Yongzheng?*
Of course, Song Chuan knew him.
Jiang Nansun's first love had been Zhang Anren, a man from a poor background whom her father, Jiang Pengfei, had always looked down upon.
It was only when Zhang Anren's true nature was exposed that Jiang Nansun's heart grew cold, creating an opportunity for Wang Yongzheng.
Wang Yongzheng came from a wealthy family, and Jiang Pengfei naturally didn't object, so the two developed a romantic relationship.
As he watched them ascend to the second floor of the villa, Song Chuan also noticed the failure rates above their heads:
Love: 78%
Career: 40%
Life: 36%
*Just as expected from best friends.*
The probability of both of them experiencing relationship failures was extremely high, and Jiang Nansun's probability of failure was even greater than Zhu Suosuo's!
System has detected a bindable Failure Female Lead in your vicinity.
Female Lead: Jiang Nansun
Age: 23
Hobbies: Most enjoys grinding against her best friend Zhu Suosuo.
The system's descriptions of Failure Female Leads were random. Sometimes they provided more information about the host, making it easier for the host to quickly get involved and complete the task of causing the female lead to fail.
The system had never displayed the female lead's hobbies before.
Now, it was displaying Jiang Nansun's.
This genuinely startled Song Chuan.
*Damn it.*
He glanced at a tightly closed door upstairs—the same one Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun had just entered.
*No wonder Jiang Nansun was so eager to drag Zhu Suosuo upstairs. They were off to... you know.*
*Tsk tsk.*
Your mission is being assigned...
Please cause Jiang Nansun, the female lead, to make a mistake.
**Mission One**: Sit on the sofa 30 degrees southeast of you, open the investment app, buy a rising stock, and have Jiang Pengfei buy stocks with you (Difficulty: Four Stars).
**Mission Two**: After Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun finish... you know, enter Jiang Nansun's room (Difficulty: Two Stars).
**Mission Three**: At the start of the banquet, dance with Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo (Difficulty: Three Stars).
Please select a mission.
A blue panel materialized before Song Chuan's eyes. Out of habit, he instinctively clicked on the most difficult option.
Mission selection complete.
You have selected Mission One.
In the large living room, rows of sofas were arranged in the corner, serving as seating for guests.
Song Chuan walked over and sat down.
He opened his phone and checked an investment news app.
The first page of the app displayed a headline about the stock market:
Jingyan Group to be severely hit, company stock plummets
Song Chuan scrolled through the other news items. Tonight, all stocks except Jingyan Group's were expected to rise slightly.
Logically, such a large company as Jingyan Group shouldn't be so vulnerable to a major blow.
Unless there was an inside mole.
An inside mole...
Song Chuan pondered for a moment, a possibility coming to mind:
Yang Ke.
Yang Ke was Jingyan's sales manager. All of Jingyan's projects passed through his hands, and he was both ambitious and intelligent.
He wasn't content to remain just a manager.
Therefore, he must have betrayed Jingyan, causing the company to be severely damaged. This would later allow Ye Jingyan to gradually strip him of his power.
It seemed tonight would be the beginning of a betrayal.
Regaining his focus, Song Chuan was already selecting stocks.
Just as he was about to click "Buy," a video call came in.
It was Suo Suo.
He answered.
The video connected, showing Zhu Suosuo with flushed cheeks and a shaky upper body.
This was the same expression she'd had during their morning workout.
"What's up?"
"Nothing... I just... wanted to see what you were doing... So many female guests... I was afraid you'd be stolen away..."
"Don't worry, I've been sitting on the downstairs sofa the whole time."
Jiang Nansun's playful voice chimed in from the side: "Oh, Suo Suo, spread your legs a little wider~"
Song Chuan feigned ignorance: "What are you two up to?"
"Doing yoga stretches... Nansun said she'd help me stretch..."
"Then I'll continue my stretches..."
"Okay."
