yes, I'll accept it

[Time Remaining: {@0 TR} Hours]

{if GM==1}I smile and nod. "Yes, sir!" I say with confidence.

Dr. Zhang rises and shakes my hand. "Wishing you all the success and the good luck you need! You now have only 720 hours remaining before you will be declared a success or a failure."

"Thanks." I say, feeling proud of myself. However, a slight feeling of dread seemed to offset my excitement as I think about the consequences if I failed.

"And here's the key to Room 101, which is currently unoccupied." Seeing the confused look on my face, he adds, "You have to be there to manage it, right?"

I pocket the key and ask, "How about the financial records, the legal documents, the...."

"I was expecting you'd ask that. My sister-in-law has an assistant. The name's Maria. She's an office management student here in this university, studying part-time. She does not have any salary but her schooling expenses are shouldered by the business."

I nod at the added information. "How can I contact her?"

"I'll let her know after this that you're now in charge. And you can visit her in Room 301."{elseif@ GM==0}Please turn on GAME MODE.{endif}

{if Jennifer == 5}I watch Dr. Zhang leave the library as I try to ponder what I would be doing next.

"I cannot make any plans without any information about the apartments, so my first priority should be finding Maria," I say to myself.{elseif Jennifer == 15}I leave the office of Dr. Zhang feeling somewhat lightheaded. As I exit the door, Jennifer is waiting, her fingers busy with her phone. "How was it?" she asks excitedly.

"You were right! I was not scolded, but neither was I given a reward."{elseif@ Jennifer == 0}Please turn on GAME MODE.{endif}

{if Jennifer == 5}Maybe I should head up to the office management wing of the College of Business. Or maybe I should just proceed to her apartment.

I proceed to the College of Business but realize that classes for the next period had already started and I didn't know in what room Maria was. "I guess I'm being impatient," I say to myself.

I decide to start moving my few belongings from my old apartment to Room 101. I phone my landlady of the sudden change and after hiring a taxi to transport my bags, I am soon settled in my new surroundings.{elseif Jennifer == 15}"So it's a responsibility!" She says. "What was it about?"

I explain to her what Dr. Zhang had said to me. "And he has allowed me to get a partner."

"What?!" she yells, hugging me in a tight embrace. The feeling of her boobs against my chest gives me a hard-on. "Thanks for making me part of this challenge. You'll not regret it." She says, finally letting go of me. "But we'll talk about that during our first board meeting. Where to next, Chairman?"

"An apartment business is boring, not challenging," I say, trying to sound like someone with authority. "But since you asked what should be done next, I guess I have to move to Room 101 the soonest," I say, ignoring her last word.{elseif@ Jennifer == 0}Please turn on GAME MODE.{endif}

{if Jennifer == 5}The excitement of the new challenge has not yet rubbed off me. Now that I have moved to my new apartment, I felt I had to see Maria next. However, it is somewhat late in the evening.{elseif Jennifer == 15}"I have a car, I can help with your bags." Jennifer volunteers. I phone my landlady of the sudden change and we are soon hauling my bags into Room 101.

"I'm really indebted to you, Jen," I say, as I lean on the door to catch my breath.

"Don't be," she says, taking off her tight sweater. "We're in this together, fifty-fifty. You're the chairman of the board, and I'm the president," she says with a sly grin. "I'll do anything the chairman says. Anything."

The sight of her form-fitting racerback shirt sends my rod to attention as I realize where this might lead. "We should keep this on the level, Jen," I say, trying to diffuse my tension.

"Yes, Chairman," she replies sarcastically, suddenly giving me a kiss on the lips and intentionally rubbing her thighs against the tenting on my crotch. "Bye, see you tomorrow," Jennifer says, as she heads to her car.

The excitement has not rubbed off me yet and the feeling of impatience at the slow passage of time makes me feel I should see Maria next. However, it is already late in the evening.{elseif@ Jennifer == 0}Please turn on GAME MODE.{endif}
