Chapter 230 Sweet and Salty Perpetual Motion Machine
Shi Sui didn't die in the end; no, she didn't get the chance to eat Chi Yan's culinary disaster.
Because Xu Chaomu showed up with breakfast.
One second they were mortal enemies, the next they were living in peace and working together in perfect harmony.
They all called their housekeepers to arrange for breakfast delivery.
Shi Sui felt embarrassed to refuse the three people's kindness, mainly because she could eat them all.
Amidst the warm atmosphere, she enjoyed three breakfasts all by herself.
Ignore the system constantly yelling in her head; this will be an incredibly wonderful and satisfying breakfast.
[Host, the system has finished calculating the rewards~]
[Guess how many there are!]
[A true test of intelligence! Those who can guess correctly are geniuses!]
[Okay, host, you don't need to guess, you're a genius.]
[Guess! Guess!]
Shi Sui popped a sesame-filled glutinous rice ball into her mouth and asked, "[Will there be an extra reward for guessing correctly?]"
The system finally went quiet for a while.
After Shi Sui finished eating the glutinous rice balls, Pei Shuoxun removed the empty bowl and placed a bowl of wontons in its place.
A perpetual motion machine of sweet and salty.
The system weakly replied: [No.]
While eating wontons, Shi Sui replied: [If there's no reward, then I won't guess.]
The system let out a deflated whimper: [Host, you're so cold.]
Even if there were extra rewards, Shi Sui wouldn't bother guessing.
Since it wouldn't change anything anyway, she no longer cared about the reward.
More important than a reward is a meal.
Shi Sui didn't reply to the system; instead, she devoured 18 wontons, demonstrating her indifference through her actions.
But the system didn't give up: [Host, guess! Guess! This time the rewards are huge, you'll never guess how many!]
Just like Pei Shuoxun said, she's easily moved to tears; Shi Sui still can't remain completely indifferent. [A hundred million?]
system:[……]
Finally, it was quiet again. After Shi Sui finished her wontons, it was time for the custard buns.
I took a big bite of the lava bun.
System: [Less than one hundred million, but close. Host, keep guessing!]
The salted egg yolk filling burst with juice, and before Shi Sui knew it, her mouth was full of flowing sand.
Three tissues appeared in front of me at the same time.
Before the three of them could speak, the girl's face fell.
Shi Sui: "Don't make noise, don't disturb my meal!"
The three people at the table, who had been silently exchanging unspoken tensions, were speechless.
Shi Sui paused for a moment, realizing that she had accidentally let slip the system's conversation.
She covered her face and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean you guys."
Then he took the three tissues and said, "Thank you."
The system then came to its senses: [Host, are you complaining that I'm too noisy?]
Shi Sui searches for her next target.
The system took a deep breath and cut to the chase: [5000 million! The reward this time is 5000 million!]
Shi Sui blinked, picked up a bowl of beef noodles, and started eating.
I ate with extra care, making sure I wouldn't get hit by the noodles because of the system's tendency to startle me.
The system was bewildered, while the host seemed completely unfazed. Did the host no longer value 5000 million?
Then I remembered that Shi Sui had just mentioned a hundred million.
He was immediately frustrated, realizing that the host's standards were getting higher and higher, and he could only afford to look at 100 million.
The system fell completely silent.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, I don't have to go to school and I don't want to study.
After that, Shi Sui didn't know what to do.
There are three more people in the family now.
I felt bad about eating their breakfast and then kicking them out.
Moreover, Pei Shuoxun had already taken the initiative to tidy up the tableware, wipe the table, and throw away the trash, completely treating this place as his own home.
Chi Yan was already sitting on the sofa: "Come and watch TV with me."
Great, another person has come to treat this place as their own home.
Shi Sui sat down on the sofa, just about to ask what she was looking at.
Xu Chaomu picked up the remote control, sat down next to her, and turned on the news channel.
After receiving the urgent notification last night, the reporter went to conduct the interview early this morning, and it is currently being broadcast live.
The camera was focused on the Jiang family's company.
Although Shi Sui had only been there once, she would never mistake it for someone else.
They would not mistake Jiang Chenjin in the shot.
The man, dressed in a suit and looking radiant, clearly thought today was the day he was scheduled to interview an outstanding entrepreneur.
Before the reporter could even ask any questions, he had already begun introducing the company: its revenue was growing steadily, its profitability was strong, and it had an excellent management team…
Even the most professional reporter couldn't help but interrupt: "From Mr. Jiang's introduction, we can see that XX Health Technology Co., Ltd. has a bright future, but according to our understanding, your company has recently been reported for suspected false advertising."
Jiang Chenjin's expression changed slightly, but his answer was impeccable: "We have indeed received a lot of malicious reports from our peers recently. Our company has always maintained a sincere and cooperative attitude, and our products can withstand the test."
"I just want to say to those who report others behind the scenes: instead of spending time reporting, you should improve your own skills."
Reporter: "As we understand it, your company's flagship product, 'XX Health Drink,' is a multi-functional health product that can lower blood lipids, treat high blood pressure, improve sleep, prevent diseases, and treat other health issues. It is an essential product for ensuring health."
Jiang Chenjin: "That's right. Our company has been developing this health drink for over ten years. It's an authoritatively certified top-quality health product with multiple patented technologies..."
Reporter: "But as far as I know, XX Health Technology was founded by you, Mr. Jiang, after you graduated, and it has only been established for less than five years."
"According to our investigation, many elderly people have believed your advertisements and regarded 'XX Health Drink' as a miracle drug. It is illegal to make unproven medical claims."
The camera then cuts to uniformed personnel from the Market Supervision Administration entering the company gate.
……
The reporter was informed by the XX Market Supervision Administration that an investigation has been launched into XX Health Technology Co., Ltd. for suspected false advertising.
Next, the television program broadcasted a top lawyer explaining cases involving illegal health supplements.
After reading the news, Shi Sui was shocked: "I didn't know anything about the Jiang family's businesses. I never expected that the first time I learned about them would be through a legal education program."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang always praised Jiang Chenjin for his successful entrepreneurship when he first entered society, but they never expected that it was such an illegal success.
Xu Chaomu: "Besides these, this company is also suspected of pyramid scheme fraud. It will be transferred to the public security authorities for handling as expected."
"How do you know so much?" Shi Sui turned to look at him.
She quickly realized what was happening, her eyes crinkling into a smile. "Xu Chaomu, did you do this?"
Seeing Shi Sui leaning towards Xu Chaomu, Chi Yan immediately wrapped his arms around her from behind, saying, "I did it! I did it!"
He's the biggest contributor, okay?
Shi Sui turned to look at him, her eyes widening slightly, and raised an eyebrow: "You did this?"
"Why do you look so disbelieving?" Chi Yan asked, pursing his lips. "Xu Chaomu seems so happy doing it, but I'm starting to doubt it?"
Shi Sui reached out and patted his head, then quickly hugged him: "I'm so happy."
She had no connection with the Jiang family; she was simply overjoyed to see the unscrupulous company punished!
A simple and quick hug made the boy's heart race and his face flush uncontrollably.
The next second, a cushion appeared between him and Shi Sui.
Xu Chaomu tossed a cushion over and said calmly, "You didn't do anything, but the relevant departments have already received a formal complaint."
Chi Yan put the cushion aside and said slowly, "False advertising and suspected pyramid schemes are not a big deal. You can settle it by paying some money."
"Victims reported the incident two years ago, but nothing has happened since then."
Chi Yan tilted his head, raised his lips lazily, and said, "I was the one who asked someone to handle the report, okay?"
He worked through the night to handle reports, collect evidence, and contact the media... He did so much!
Xu Chaomu: "Besides this company, there is another charitable foundation under the Jiang family that has problems."
Shi Sui looked up and asked, "A charity foundation?"
Something flashed through my mind.
Chi Yan nodded, lowered his hand from the back of the sofa, and ruffled her hair: "Yes, it's being processed. If things go smoothly, we should have results today."
