Chapter 1: System? Mature Woman?

Rongcheng.

Qinda Plaza Office Building.

Su Yunzhou looked at the successfully bound mature woman panel in front of him. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gathered his courage and spoke.

"Sister Liu, I dropped and broke my phone when I left home this morning. Could you help bring me some lunch at noon?"

Liu Yiyi was a graceful and charming young woman. Her features were delicate and exquisite, and her shiny black hair cascaded down to her waist.

She possessed the delicate beauty typical of southern women. Even though she was just wearing an ordinary white short-sleeved shirt, she exuded an extraordinary elegance. The curves of her chest were perfect, and her waist was as slender as a bound sheaf of silk. Her tight, perky peach-like bottom stretched her dark trousers until they were taut and plump.

A hint of surprise flickered in her eyes as she noticed the unnatural expression on the handsome young man's face. She teased, "How did your phone break? Don't tell me you smashed it during an argument!"

"Yeah! We broke up!"

"Ah!" Liu Yiyi covered her cherry-like small mouth, a look of disbelief appearing on her face.

As the HR Director, she had heard a thing or two about Su Yunzhou and his girlfriend. Word had it that they were college sweethearts with a very deep relationship, having already reached the stage of discussing marriage. She wondered how they could suddenly break up.

A trace of apology appeared in Liu Yiyi's eyes. "Let's go! I'll treat you to lunch today."

The two of them took the elevator downstairs together. The narrow space was filled with the pleasant fragrance of the young woman.

Su Yunzhou exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling somewhat agitated. As long as he ate this meal, he would be able to verify whether the billionaire system in his mind was real or not.

The system had appeared on the seventh day after his breakup. That night, he had gotten dead drunk and bid farewell to his past self under the pitch-black night sky. When he woke up the next day, a billionaire system had materialized in his head.

As a young man who frequented web novel sites, he was no stranger to Tong. He just never expected such immense, overwhelming wealth to fall into his own lap. It really was a case of "when the heavens bestow a system upon a person, they must first subject them to blows"—being cheated on, breaking up, and suffering humiliation at work...

Furthermore, he found the cashback requirements slightly strange.

[Cashback Requirement: After binding a mature woman, receive a doubled cashback reward based on her Affinity level relative to the amount she spends on the host.]

Mature women. Affinity. Doubled cashback.

The combination of these three terms couldn't be simpler to understand. Tong knew he had been hurt by a young girl, so it was sending older women to comfort his wounded body and mind.

When he went to the HR office to get some documents that morning, the system had suddenly reacted and bound HR Director Liu Yiyi, which led to the previous scene.

[Name: Liu Yiyi]

[Attributes: 32, 163, 108, 86, 60, 90]

[Affinity: 19]

[Friendly Reminder: The bound target is actually already divorced. In the dead of night, she loves to freely speak her mind with others on Little Blue Book.]

While his imagination was running wild, the elevator doors opened.

Liu Yiyi asked, "Su, what do you want to eat?"

"Sister Liu, whatever you usually eat is fine with me," Su Yunzhou replied.

"Me? I'm usually on a diet, so I just eat light salads. But since you're not in a good mood today... let me treat you to Thai food! I even got a flyer yesterday. A new place just opened in Qinda Plaza and they're having a grand opening promotion."

Hearing this, Su Yunzhou was overjoyed. He vaguely remembered this new restaurant handing out meal vouchers in nearby office buildings a couple of days ago. Besides, it was Thai food. A single meal there would surely cost at least a few hundred RMB!

He put on an embarrassed expression. "Sister Liu, you don't have to spend so much..."

Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "Oh, it's fine. There's a discount. Don't be so polite with me."

"Well... okay then." Su Yunzhou nodded and followed Liu Yiyi out.

Her walking posture was elegant and dignified, carrying a unique charm.

"Ouch!" Liu Yiyi cried out in alarm as her high heels slipped on a smooth patch of floor that still had some water stains. She lost her balance and pitched forward.

"Careful!" With quick reflexes, Su Yunzhou grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace. "Sister Liu, did you sprain your ankle?"

The thrilling moment combined with his solid chest brought a blush to the recovered Liu Yiyi's pretty face. She stood up straight and rotated her slender ankle a few times.

"I'm fine. Thank you!"

Su Yunzhou felt a bit of regret over the fleeting, voluptuous sensation, but the notification chime in his ear made him extremely happy.

[Affinity +5]

He marveled at how it had jumped to 24 points just like that.

Man Nai Thai Cuisine.

The occupancy rate at noon was quite high. The two were lucky; a small table had just freed up. After Liu Yiyi selected a discounted meal for two priced at 198 RMB, the waiter led them inside.

It was a small table by the window. They sat opposite each other, and Su Yunzhou carefully wiped down the table once more.

[Affinity +1]

He realized it really worked. Women actually cared a lot about these little details. Of course, it also depended on who was doing it—it mostly had to do with one's looks.

After the food arrived, the two ate and chatted. The atmosphere was cheerful, but the Affinity didn't change.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi asked, "Su, pardon me for asking, but weren't you two doing great? Why did you break up?"

Su Yunzhou paused in the middle of picking up food, his memories instantly triggered.

"I've been with you for three years, and we're just living in this crappy rental place!

"I asked you to buy me a bag, and you told me you needed to save money for a house?

"The bride price is only one hundred and sixty-eight thousand! And you still wanted me to ask my mom if we could lower it?

"Tell me, what do I even get out of being with you?

"Yes, I cheated! But I don't regret it.

"Let's break up!"

These words had been like sharp arrows, piercing him until he was covered in cuts and bruises in the days leading up to their breakup. But life had to go on.

He sighed and said, "It's a multiple-choice question where the vast majority of girls would make the same choice. I come from an ordinary family, while she met a wealthy local second-generation heir who got rich from demolition compensation through her work. I don't even know how long they were seeing each other. After I found out, she broke up with me..."

Su Yunzhou's deep, somber voice made Liu Yiyi, who had recently divorced, feel a sense of empathy. Her husband had also cheated, yet he had sugarcoated it by blaming it on her, saying she was solely devoted to her work and had neglected both their family and his feelings. This was something Liu Yiyi couldn't accept. They had no children, so she had decisively filed for divorce.

Only those who had been through it could understand the sheer amount of bitterness contained in those few short words.

Liu Yiyi picked up her teacup, looking into his somewhat haggard eyes, and said, "I'm not very good at comforting people, but since you can talk about it now, it means you've moved past it. Let's toast with tea instead of wine!"

Seeing his Affinity increase by another 5 points—likely out of sympathy—Su Yunzhou raised his cup and lightly clinked it against hers.

"Thank you, Sister Liu. I feel a lot better after talking about it."

Liu Yiyi smiled and joked, "In the words of you young folks, you now have an entire forest to choose from."

The meal lasted for more than half an hour. When the waiter left with the POS machine and the payment was successfully processed, a system notification chimed in Su Yunzhou's ear.

[DING!]

[The mature woman has spent 198 RMB on you. Current Affinity is 30. Cashback rewarded: 5,940 RMB.]

The next second, the phone tucked in his pocket vibrated.

Su Yunzhou hurriedly said, "Sister Liu, I need to use the restroom."

In a toilet stall, Su Yunzhou looked at the text message, his entire body trembling. The gloom weighing on his heart completely vanished in that moment.

"Your bank card ending in 9527 received a transfer of 5,940.0 RMB on June 10, 2025. Balance after transaction: 85,940.00 RMB."

This wasn't a dream. The system had actually deposited the money!

At the same time, Su Yunzhou made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't waste this opportunity. After a moment of thought, he walked out.

"Sister Liu, sorry to keep you waiting!

"I just remembered that I have a video conference with a client this afternoon.

"So... could I trouble you to help me buy a phone? I'll transfer the money to you the second I turn it on."
