To Zhang Heng's surprise, preparing a gift for Sai Ji was unprecedentedly easy.
Initially, he thought it wouldn't be as troublesome as looking for the Golden Fleece, but all he had to do was pay for it.
Miss Succubus brought him to the largest luxury department store in the city. She bought him a pair of shoes, two bags, and three lipsticks. She also bought herself a bottle of perfume, spending a total of about 50,000 yuan. Zhang Heng even suspected that she wanted to go shopping at the mall.
"Don't be so surprised. Bags and shoes are universally attractive to women, whether they are mortals or gods," Miss Succubus chuckled. Miss Succubus chuckled. "Besides, Sai Ji is someone who loves beauty. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for Cupid."
"…"
Seeing that Zhang Heng did not speak, Miss Succubus continued, "I don't know what kind of trouble you are in, but I can feel that you are in a hurry. Otherwise, you wouldn't have hesitated when I proposed to prepare a gift."
"I did encounter some trouble," Zhang Heng admitted.
"Is it from the organizing committee?" Miss Succubus asked again, "Because you seem to pay special attention to the news from the organizing committee."
"Yes, but it's not just the organizing committee. At this stage, it might be the organizing committee who made the first move because I met Ann and had a small conflict with her," Zhang Heng said.
"Ann? The god of Sumerian mythology? The presiding judge of the organizing committee? " Miss Succubus frowned, but she immediately relaxed. "Forget it. You don't have to explain to me. I'm just a little succubus. Other than providing you with all kinds of information according to the agreement, I can't help you much even if I want to. I don't want to get into too much trouble because of this."
"Don't worry. If big trouble really comes to my door, I will also terminate the oath with you in advance," Zhang Heng said.
"It's not that easy to terminate a succubus' oath," Miss Succubus sighed. "Forget it. Let's not raise any flags. Let's go and meet Sai Ji first."
Zhang Heng nodded.
The mall was not far from the destination of their trip. Zhang Heng hailed a taxi and arrived at the destination in no time.
It was an office building located in the prime location of the development zone. It had a total of 32 floors and was subleased to different companies.
The place Zhang Heng and Ms. Succubus were going to was the fifteenth floor of this office building. There was a young Internet company called Single Bottle Free. It was established less than half a year ago, and its main focus was online dating.
Get Single Bottle's gameplay was a bit like a mix of Floating Bottles and Sounders, which were popular on QQ in the early years. The website's customers would first answer 12 questions and then shoot a video to introduce themselves. This video would be placed in a Floating Bottle, but it was different from the previous QQ Floating Bottles. Get Single Bottle's own set of very powerful algorithms would match the customer with the right person based on the customer's previous answers. Then, they would exchange bottles with each other and make friends.
Zhang Heng also looked at Single Bottle Free's official website. From the description alone, it didn't seem to be anything particularly novel. However, it had recently become a new force, and the number of downloads had skyrocketed. According to the feedback from the first batch of registered users, this app was really useful. Many people even felt like they had finally met their long-awaited soul mate the moment they opened the bottle. The first day they met, the next day, they couldn't help but ask each other to get married.
Even those people who had failed dozens of blind dates, who were getting older and were angrily reprimanded by their parents for being unfilial children, or women who had kept their chastity for forty years just to marry into a wealthy family and fulfill their childhood dreams, or even young accountants who were secretly in love with a female streamer and were willing to spend all their money to help their company lose all their money, were happily proposing life partners with the help of the single bottle. It would be strange if the app was not taken down.
Miss Succubus sneered at it, "What kind of bullsh * t algorithm is this? This thing is obviously created by Cupid. It's impossible for the success rate to be low. Anyway, as long as you get hit by his arrow, you'll be able to marry a tortoise."
Zhang Heng didn't comment on it.
The elevator soon reached the 16th floor. Originally, Single Bottle Free shared this floor with five small startups. After it became popular, they rented the entire floor, and the corridor was still under renovation.
Miss Succubus walked around a scaffold, walked to the front desk, and registered with the administrative girl there. Zhang Heng took the opportunity to look at Single Bottle Free's lobby.
On the big screen on the right-hand side of the front desk, an advertisement for Single Bottle Free was scrolling. The female protagonist of the advertisement was a beautiful girl who looked a little confused, filming her day with her mobile phone. Zhang Heng looked at it twice and then moved his gaze to the left side. There was a poster there, and the photo of the girl in the advertisement was also on it. There were also some promotional materials placed on the shelf for visitors to access, all with the same person on the cover.
Obviously, the woman in the advertisement was the spokesperson of Single Bottle Free. Seeing Zhang Heng looking at the photo, the administrative girl who was in charge of sorting out the documents also raised her head and said, "This is President Gu's new advertisement. President Gu is really beautiful. With her advertisement, the number of downloads of our app will definitely go up to another level."
Zhang Heng could tell that she was sincere when she said this. It wasn't just a subordinate flattering her superior. Upon hearing what she said, a male employee who passed by nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus looked at each other, knowing that this should be the main character.
After all, in the story, Sai Ji was famous for her beauty that even Venus was jealous of. Although the girls in the advertisement were also very beautiful and even surpassed most of the A-list female celebrities, they were not as beautiful as the legends said. Before Sai Ji came to China, she must have made some changes to her appearance so that it would not be too shocking.
At this time, the administrative girl on the other side had put down the phone in her hand and said to Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus, "President Gu is in the office, and she has canceled the morning meeting. I will take you there."
"Thank you," Zhang Heng said.
The two followed the administrative girl to an office on the right-hand side. The administrative girl reached out and knocked on the door, "President Gu, the guests are here."
After that, a gentle and soft voice came from inside, "Okay, let them in."
To be honest, the voice sounded more like a kindergarten teacher than a white-collar woman in an office building, especially a company executive. After all, it was difficult to control and manage her subordinates well if she was too gentle.
