The system in her space looked blankly at its incredibly powerful host.
System: ...?! Host, could you be a little more low-key, please?
After finishing her instructions to Qin Yue, Ming Li left. As soon as Ming Li stepped out of the cafe, her phone rang.
Ming Li took out her phone and glanced at it, seeing an unfamiliar number. She casually rejected the call and put her phone back into her bag.
A moment later, the phone in Ming Li's bag rang again.
Ming Li frowned, took out her phone again, glanced at the number on the screen, and pressed the answer button.
Ming Li put the phone to her ear and heard a pleasant voice say, "Xiao Li, do you have time now?"
Ming Li was slightly taken aback. The voice sounded familiar. After searching her memory, she realized it sounded like her deskmate.
Ming Li replied in a flat tone, "Yes, what is it?"
After Ming Li finished speaking, there was a long pause before Xie Nanchu's slightly unusual voice came through the phone, "Xiao Li, could you explain those few problems to me from last time?"
Before Ming Li could reply, the system in her space became agitated.
System: ...?! This guy definitely has intentions towards our host! No way! Absolutely not!
Host, don't agree to him! He's deliberately approaching you! There's definitely something fishy going on! You absolutely cannot agree!
Ming Li: ...?! A slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. What was this system acting up about now?
Seeing Ming Li's silence, Xie Nanchu on the other end of the line asked nervously, "What's wrong, Xiao Li? Don't you have time? If you don't have time, it's fine."
Ming Li snapped back to attention, her tone still flat, betraying no emotion, "It's nothing, I have time. Go ahead, which problems?"
The person on the phone seemed relieved. "Then Xiao Li, please accept my WeChat friend request. We can video call, it'll be more convenient."
Upon hearing this, the system in her space was about to explode. "Host, you can't agree to him! This guy is definitely after you... with ill intentions!"
Before the system could finish, it found itself silenced again by its host.
The system felt extremely wronged and retreated to a corner to draw circles.
Ming Li: ...?! Seeing this scene, the corner of her mouth twitched. This idiotic system really knew how to play along.
Ming Li spoke a few more words with Xie Nanchu and hung up the phone.
Upon returning home, Ming Li remembered something. She took out her phone from her bag, unlocked it, and tapped on WeChat. Sure enough, she saw a friend request. Ming Li casually clicked accept, then placed the phone on the table before opening her tablet to continue her efforts to earn money.
Just as Ming Li's gaze was intently fixed on the brightly lit computer screen, the phone on the table rang.
Ming Li put down her mouse, picked up the phone on the table, and glanced at it. It was a video call from Xie Nanchu. Ming Li closed her laptop and answered the call. A handsome face appeared on the phone screen, smiling brilliantly at Ming Li.
Ming Li placed the phone on her desk, orienting the screen towards herself. She took out a practice workbook and said to Xie Nanchu on the phone, "Alright, tell me, which problems are they?"
