Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Su Xuan Full of Fighting Spirit Starts the Second Phase Mission_1
"What is it? Please, go ahead." Su Xuan calmly watched Richard, waiting for him to speak.
Richard took a sip of whiskey, glanced at Alice, then back at Su Xuan. "If you..." he said slowly, "can achieve a net worth of one hundred billion US dollars within three years, I will never again interfere in your affairs with Alice. I will even support you two!"
"And if I can’t?" Su Xuan asked.
"Then there’s nothing to be done." Richard leaned back in his chair, clasping his hands behind his head. "Alice is my only daughter, and I will give her everything I have. If you can’t reach a net worth of one hundred billion US dollars, you are not worthy of her. I will not allow you to continue seeing her!"
"Dad!" Alice immediately protested. "You’re asking the impossible! At what age did you reach a hundred-billion-dollar net worth? You’re just trying to make things difficult for Su Xuan!"
Richard ignored Alice and looked at Su Xuan. "Do you dare accept my condition?"
Su Xuan shrugged. "Why wouldn’t I?"
He already had a net worth of ten billion US dollars. Reaching a hundred billion shouldn’t be too difficult, and it probably won’t take that long either!
Little did Richard know he was dealing with someone whose life might as well have had cheat codes enabled.
He nodded at Su Xuan with a hint of appreciation. "Also, Alice must leave with me today. I’m getting old, and I’m finding that some things are becoming too much for me. I need to train Alice to take the helm of my business empire as soon as possible. She can’t waste any more time out here. You can understand that, can’t you?"
Su Xuan pursed his lips. "I understand."
"Let me reiterate," Richard said. "Until you reach a net worth of one hundred billion US dollars, you cannot see her, contact her, or disturb her peace of mind. Can you accept that?"
Su Xuan, with his uncanny advantages, simply nodded.
Satisfied, Richard stood up and walked toward the rear of the cabin. He waved a hand with his back to them. "I’ll give you two some time. Just pretend I’m not here."
"Su Xuan, you shouldn’t have agreed to my father’s terms!" Alice, like a bird freed from its cage, flung herself into his arms.
"It’s alright. You have to believe in me." Su Xuan cupped her face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t cry anymore?"
"When I see you, I just cry from happiness," Alice said shyly.
Su Xuan’s tone turned mischievous. "You woke up too early this morning. I didn’t get enough sleep."
Alice’s face instantly flushed red. In a tiny whisper, she said, "I... I didn’t get enough sleep either."
"Shall we catch up on some sleep together?" Su Xuan asked.
Her voice became even quieter, her face an even deeper shade of crimson. "Okay..."
What happened next was a scene that made Richard want to gouge his own eyes out.
Su Xuan actually lifted his daughter, laid her down on one of the private jet’s luxurious seats, and pressed his lips to hers...
Good heavens! Even if you do reach a hundred-billion-dollar net worth someday, you can’t be this outrageous! How can you so blatantly disregard me, your future father-in-law?
"All of you, turn your damn backs!" Richard bellowed at his stunned subordinates in the cabin. "I’ll fire anyone who dares to peek!"
He turned around himself, refusing to watch the cringe-worthy display any longer.

"Hahaha! The kid’s finally gone!" After Su Xuan and Alice’s passionate farewell, Richard suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Dad, why are you so happy?" Alice straightened the stray hairs at her temple, chiding him. "I don’t get the feeling you hate him that much!"
"Haha, you’re right, I don’t hate him!" Richard stroked his chin with a mysterious smile. "In fact, I’m starting to like him!"
Because he’d noticed something. After that kid had swaggered off the plane, the ten-billion-dollar check Richard had written earlier was gone! It goes without saying that the kid must have secretly swiped it. A guy who never leaves empty-handed! He liked that!
***
VROOM!
With a roar, Richard’s private jet carrying Alice shot down the long runway, soared into the sky, and quickly vanished into the clouds.
"Goodbye, Alice..." Su Xuan stood on the tarmac, gazing up at the sky and seeing her off in silence.
Then, he lowered his head and sniffed his shirt, catching the lingering scent of her perfume. He touched his cheek, where the faint trace of her saliva had yet to dry.
Hehe! Now this was the kind of farewell he liked! Saying goodbye to the girl you love... if you don’t leave with a bit of her scent and her saliva on you, can you even call it a proper farewell?
There wasn’t a hint of sadness in his heart. Instead, he was filled with boundless fighting spirit!
A net worth of one hundred billion US dollars! A trillion-yuan net worth! I have to achieve it in the shortest time possible! And then... hmph! I’ll go find Alice! And I’ll rub it in that old geezer Richard’s face!
"Old man Richard, hehe!" Su Xuan scratched his head with a mischievous grin and muttered to himself, "You’ve only got one daughter. You’re destined to work for me for the rest of your life!"
He stealthily opened his palm, revealing the very check Richard had written.
Thanks for the assist from my future father-in-law! And for the free experience points! Hahahaha!
Just then, a series of system prompts chimed in his mind.
"Ding. Host’s mindset detected as extremely suitable for the next stage of missions!"
"Ding. Registering Didi identity!"
"Ding. Didi identity registration complete!"
"Ding. Stage Two missions officially initiated. Super Didi Order Progress: 0/10."
Oh! Su Xuan’s eyes lit up.
So, the second stage of missions really is about experiencing a new lifestyle! And it’s a fun ride-sharing mission on Didi! Getting customers to their destinations in a timely manner must be a really fulfilling job! Plus, I can chat with them during the ride, listen to their life stories, and experience their joys and sorrows. Isn’t that interesting?
Su Xuan quickly pulled out his phone and opened the Didi app, where he discovered he was already registered as a driver. This made him eager to get started. He was also incredibly excited to see what rewards the Stage Two missions would bring, and whether they would help him achieve a hundred-billion-dollar net worth in one fell swoop!
ROAR! Come on, send me an order! I’m ready to drive for Didi!
