After watching Zhao Anguo and his group walk away, Jiang Chen glanced at the card in his hand, noting the number on it. He took out his phone, snapped a photo of the card, then headed to the kitchen and tossed the card onto the gas stove, setting it ablaze.
"Just need to remember it," he thought.
Jiang Chen then left his apartment and went next door to Xia Rui'er's place. The door was ajar, and he could see Xia Rui'er sitting at the table in the living room, looking worried.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Jiang Chen said as he quickly entered.
"Jiang Chen, are you okay? Who was that person just now?" Xia Rui'er asked immediately.
"I'm fine. That was a friend of mine," Jiang Chen replied.
"Really a friend?" Xia Rui'er looked surprised. "Wearing a cloak in the middle of summer is pretty strange."
"Uh, let's not talk about that," Jiang Chen changed the subject. "By the way, why haven't I seen you online lately?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, not needing to work?" Xia Rui'er retorted.
"So you really are working," Jiang Chen said seriously. "You should quit."
"And who's going to support me if I quit?" Xia Rui'er said irritably. "My mom's health isn't great, and we always need money. How could I not work?"
"I'll support you," Jiang Chen said directly.
Xia Rui'er was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Stop joking."
"I'm not joking. How much do you make a month?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Are you serious?" Seeing Jiang Chen's earnest expression, Xia Rui'er's eyes widened.
"I'll give you twenty thousand a month to help me design outfits. Plus, for every outfit sold, I'll give you a 10% commission! I'll cover all the costs," Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
"Do you have too much money?" Xia Rui'er blinked. Twenty thousand a month would be 240,000 a year.
With her current job, including the year-end bonus, she only made 150,000 a year.
"I'm serious. We can sign a contract!" Jiang Chen said earnestly.
"But if it doesn't make money, then you..." Xia Rui'er hesitated.
"You know I'm not short on money. Those two gold-level pieces of equipment you sold yourself for over fifty thousand gold coins, which is over five million RMB!" Jiang Chen said, exuding wealth.
"That's true..." Xia Rui'er pondered.
Fashion design had always been her dream, but she had to bury this passion for the sake of making a living. Now, it seemed like an opportunity had presented itself.
After a brief hesitation, Xia Rui'er made up her mind and said, "I'll resign tomorrow, but I don't need the commission. Twenty thousand a month is already a lot."
"You don't want the money?" Jiang Chen said helplessly. "Do you know how big the profits from fashion can be? A 10% commission would be more than you imagine!"
"Then I definitely can't take it," Xia Rui'er said firmly.
"This is to motivate you. With a commission, you'll work even harder, right?" Jiang Chen argued.
"Then make it 5%, or I won't do it," Xia Rui'er said seriously.
"Alright!" Jiang Chen agreed without fuss, then added, "By the way, I might be moving in the next couple of days."
"Moving?" Xia Rui'er was surprised. "Where to?"
"Not sure yet, just find a place," Jiang Chen hadn't decided where to move.
"Can I come with you?" Xia Rui'er thought for a moment and asked.
"Why would you come with me?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.
"You're my boss now. Isn't it normal for me to work where you are?" Xia Rui'er moved closer to Jiang Chen, a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Alright," Jiang Chen nodded, thinking to himself, "It might be safer this way."
"Huh?" Xia Rui'er looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief. "You actually agreed?"
"What else? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to come with me?" Jiang Chen was confused by her change of heart.
"I..." Xia Rui'er had intended to tease him, but now it seemed she had gotten herself involved.
She was momentarily speechless. After four or five seconds, she continued, "I'm just afraid you'll run off without paying, don't overthink it!"
"I'm not overthinking anything. You're the one acting strange," Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, I'm heading back. Let me know after you resign tomorrow."
With that, Jiang Chen left the room.
"Hmph!" Xia Rui'er stood there, stomping her foot in frustration.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen returned to his bedroom, locked the door, and put on his gaming helmet. If he was going to move, he needed to sell some gold coins to improve his living conditions.
"Identity verified, welcome back to the World of Gods!" As an electronic voice sounded, Jiang Chen found himself back in his small chapel room.
In front of him stood Eilili, looking innocent. The problem was, she was completely naked, gazing at her delicate body and murmuring, "Why doesn't the master like me?"
