The sage time came, Qingyou felt his waist a little weak and his hands a little sore.
There's nothing you can do about sore hands, the hero in this world has a strong body.
If it weren't for Mira's voice to help, pure DIY would have taken several times longer to complete.
Of course, if it was a real fight with guns, the duration would be much shorter, just like at the bar, when I was almost captured by Kitahara Ayano's fleshy buttocks.
"Host, since you are so eager, why not find a girl who is absolutely safe and form a combat partnership, just like your cooperation with Aili." The system suggested at the right time.
"That makes sense, but why do I feel like you're taking this opportunity to trick me into opening an extra quest line?" Qingyou's vigilance instantly skyrocketed.
"Woo woo, Master Host, you are slandering my innocence out of thin air. I am clearly concerned about your physical and mental health... To be honest, I have already selected potential partners from your circle of friends who are less yandere threatening..."
"Wait." Qingyou suddenly discovered his blind spot. "I remember you said that you don't have the ability to judge the potential of female yandere?"
"Well, it's true that there isn't one. However, we have connected this world's network and integrated it with the artificial intelligence perception and decision-making technology of this world. After a long period of computational iteration, we have aligned and refined the granularity, enabled the system to optimize the gripper, and realized the top-level design closed loop..."
"Fuck, who are you trying to fool here? It's like I never worked in a big internet company in my previous life!" Qingyou rubbed his temples, eliminating the useless information that was being chattered about, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
I called upon the AI function in this world... I'm awesome!
Qingyou immediately asked sharply, "When you calculated the yandere threat level, did you use my advanced AI account membership?"
"Ahaha!" The system's eyes flickered, and it whistled innocently, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from the host, wupupupu~"
"Pfft! I was wondering why I spent so much data last month, and the Chihaya family's finance department thought it was a suspicious bill and sent it to the young lady for review. She even suspected that I was using advanced AI to run pornographic pictures... It turned out to be you!"
"Listen to my explanation, my host. I am doing this for our bright future..."
[The system has been banned by Qingyou for 12 hours]
Qingyou shook his head helplessly, his eyes returned to the computer screen, he chatted with Mira for a few words, and then logged off.
Now is the best time to fall asleep. Qingyou is going to drink a cup of hot milk and then fall asleep when he comes back.
Passing by the corridor on the second floor overlooking the main hall of the mansion, I saw Airi sitting there, facing the window, holding what seemed to be sweet wine in her hand?
The bright red skirt fluttered in the wind.
startled.
In the middle of the night, someone wearing an elegant dress and drinking alone can only have two possibilities for the red-eyed devil: she is in a very good mood, or she is in a very bad mood.
"Hey, Qingyou-kun, you haven't slept yet. Did you get too excited by massaging my feet?"
Well, it should be an option that makes you feel very good!
Qingyou was in sage mode, calm and unaffected by the teasing. She went to the kitchen to get some hot milk, then yawned and returned to the bedroom.
"I'm talking to you, how dare you ignore me?" Ai Li's fierce voice came from behind.
"It's private time now, miss."
"But you came out of the private room."
"Just a glass of milk, I'll be in bed soon. Good night, miss."
"Don't sleep, come here!"
Ai Li gave a strong order - but it was not just a temper tantrum, she opened her mobile account and transferred 100,000 yen to Qingyou in real time, noting "late night chat fee".
She was a little sleepy after Qingyou's foot massage, but after lying down for a while she wanted to talk to Qingyou. Due to the agreement, she couldn't break into Qingyou's room, but now she was caught by Qingyou.
After a moment's hesitation, Qingyou accepted the transfer and walked down the stairs to Aili's side.
Although the eldest lady has a bad temper, she has money. Since she is willing to be the money-spending sister, Qingyou doesn't mind playing the role of a gentle fiancé.
The son-in-law needs money in the early stages!
Seeing Qingyou coming over with a nonchalant look on his face, Ai Li, who was observing the details of Qingyou's expression, was 90% sure that Qingyou... was not angry.
When the evil and twisted impulse receded and she calmed down, Ai Li, who was alone in her boudoir preparing to fall asleep, suddenly realized...
She crossed the line.
Asking Qingyou to lick her feet was... too submissive and did not conform to the agreement.
Qingyou was right. Essentially, they were in an employment relationship, so of course he wouldn't do such a thing for her. Normally, Qingyou was not the type to be servile, but rather an equal exchange.
In fact, Ai Li usually pays attention to this aspect. She knows that Qingyou is completely different from those unscrupulous guys who just want to lick her... This is one of the reasons why she decided to cooperate with Qingyou.
When in the fitting room, Ai Li called Qingyou a piggy. Sometimes she felt that he was a kitten, but she didn't call him a puppy. Puppy is flattering and can be completely adjusted, but Qingyou is different.
Ai Li understood the reason, but she was just too excited just now. She just wanted to make Qingyou her own. Thinking back to that state, she was so scared, as if she was not herself anymore. All that was left in her eyes and mind was Qingyou, Qingyou, Qingyou...
However, let’s look at Qingyou-jun.
I just used a little trick to make her suffer a little. I didn't lose my temper or go into the cold war with her.
Look at him now, the face of a typical office worker working overtime to earn extra money.
Qingyou is like a pool of calm and clear spring water, which makes people who live by the spring feel particularly safe.
This kind of atmosphere made Ai Li's heart itch, and her usually hard mouth softened inexplicably.
"I apologize for my previous behavior."
"……what?"
"I shouldn't have asked you to lick my feet."
Qingyou rubbed his ears in disbelief. No way, the eldest lady was apologizing seriously. Did I hear it right?
You have to know that Aili has always been known for her abnormal desire for control and her condescending queen-like demeanor, and she is also the type who is extremely stubborn and refuses to repent.
After his brain circuits overclocked for a few times, Qingyou suddenly realized, "I understand! Indeed, the young lady's noble feet should not be tainted by the saliva of a mortal like me."
This reasoning almost choked Ai Li to death.
No, man.
I apologized with good intentions, but you actually interpreted me as such a vulgar person!
Ai Li's eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth a little: "Are you being sarcastic?"
"Not really. Since the young lady wants me to chat with her so late at night, it should be more than just these things. Let me guess, is it about work?"
It should be said that Qingyou understands Aili's temper well enough.
If she just regretted her own behavior, Ai Li would just stay in her room and sulk, and she would be able to control her emotions soon.
What really made her lose sleep was the complicated situation within the Chihaya Group.
It just so happened that Ai Li didn't want to continue talking about feet, to avoid Qingyou saying anything outrageous that would make her panic.
"During the meeting at the headquarters this afternoon, some blind guys brought up Takagi Akane's case and accused me of not being able to discipline her... It was so funny. It was obviously for the family business that I allowed Takagi Akane to return to Tokyo, but now it's my fault."
"interesting."
"Hey, I paid you to be with me, not for you to hem and haw and act like an ostrich."
"If Miss wants to hear a rational analysis, it's actually a very simple matter." Qingyou took a big sip of hot milk and sighed with satisfaction, "The executive who attacked you must have had a business dispute with you recently. Considering the poor business performance of the consortium recently... it should be Genichirō who ordered that a certain business that originally belonged to the executive be handed over to you."
Ai Li's eyes flickered and she moved her lips: "...Yes."
"Then he will definitely attack you. It would be best if you mess up the business, so that he can jump higher and shout even more happily."
"But it's clearly Director Kuroda's own fault! If it weren't for his mismanagement, which led to product quality control issues and delayed orders, how could it be my turn to put out the fire?"
Chapter 43 Qingyou skillfully uses the method of diverting trouble
Ai Li spoke indignantly, the sweet wine in the glass swaying with her emotional fluctuations.
According to Genichirō's request, Airi is not allowed to show her true personal emotions in public. A leader should be mysterious and unfathomable so as to win the respect of his subordinates.
But Ai Li was indeed very angry about this matter. She felt that she had done nothing wrong, so why was she being targeted?
Qingyou didn't find it strange: "As long as there is a conflict of interest, they can target you. It doesn't matter who you are right or wrong with."
"Humph... Really, everyone is only thinking about their own petty gains. How can we run the Chihaya Group if we are with this bunch of insects?"
"There aren't many people who want to run the Chihaya Group. They just formed a temporary group for their own benefit." Qingyou complained, "After all, its name is 'Chihaya Group' instead of 'People's Group'. By the way, who is the head of the Kuroda Group? I forgot who it is. Is it the one who looks like a sea bass?"
"Hahaha, Bass!" Ai Li laughed loudly, "It's him."
"He is just a director of the district, and he is in charge of production management. If he doesn't have someone to back him up, how dare he say anything about you at the meeting to divide the responsibility for the accident? It's probably one of your 'loving' tribesmen who is behind this."
"Tsk."
The more Ai Li thought about it, the more she felt that this might really be the case.
She glanced sideways at Qingyou, who found a chair to sit on and drink milk, squinting his eyes leisurely looking at the night view outside the window.
Ai Li suddenly thought that it seemed that she rarely saw Qingyou showing an irritable or anxious expression. When she was in a bad mood, staying by his side would naturally dissipate the negative emotions.
"It's getting late. Let's investigate Mr. Perch tomorrow. Just drink and sleep well tonight." Qingyou said, moving closer to Aili's wine glass, reaching out his hand to fan his nose, and using his sense of smell to confirm that the alcohol content of the sweet wine was very low, so he felt relieved.
If Airi drinks some foreign liquor and gets drunk or something, Mira-chan's voice-aided sleep aid will probably be in vain.
"What's the matter, Qingyou-kun is getting bored and starting to rush the clock?" Aili was a little dissatisfied, "Will you die if you chat with me for a few more minutes?"
"Chat, chat, anything is possible. What do you want to talk about, young lady?"
"You've been paid, so of course you're the one looking for topics."
Ah, the red-eyed demon is such a nuisance!
Qingyou suddenly realized that when he accepted the paid chat, he did not clearly discuss how long the chat would last.
It seems that his vigilance against the red-eyed devil has decreased recently, or perhaps Ayano's harassment has distracted Qingyou's attention and made it impossible for him to maintain a clear boundary with Airi.
In this case, Qingyou started a topic that was useful to him: "I heard that Miss Beiyuan's father had an illegitimate child outside..."
Qingyou's sentence came to an abrupt halt, interrupted by Aili's sudden sharp gaze. She glared at Qingyou, then put on the classic expression of squinting her eyes and scrutinizing.
"This is information that very few people know. I hope Qingyou-kun can answer me seriously and tell me where you got this information from."
"Of course, Miss Kitahara told me herself. It was this week... Oh, it was already past twelve o'clock, that was last week. When I was modeling for her last week, she mentioned some family matters during the casual conversation."
"What else did you talk about?"
"I can't remember clearly, but it probably includes some gossip about Chihaya Academy, my views on current popular art, and the impact of artificial intelligence technology on the painting industry."
Qingyou opened his mouth and made up a dull and normal lunch chat, putting all the suspicion on Ayano.
When he realized the secrecy of the news of the "illegitimate child", he knew that the opportunity had come!
Originally, Qingyou was not to blame for the cheating, it was purely Ayano's fault. If Airi could be made to be on guard against Ayano and at the same time not suspect that there was anything wrong with Qingyou, then she could use Airi's suspicion to resist Ayano's harassment.
Qingyou has used this trick several times and it has always worked.
There have been women who have had intentions towards Qingyou in Chihaya Academy, distant relatives of the family, and even employees of the company under Airi. Qingyou has always used Airi's weapons to nip any trouble in the bud.
However, the same trick cannot be used on Ayano casually, because she is Airi's best friend and hides her true nature very well. She has never revealed her evil nature in front of Airi. Airi even asks Qingyou to take good care of her!
Now, using the small information gap and a little tea art, Qingyou can figure out the direction of the incident.
Ai Li's white and tender little hands clenched the wine glass, she bit her lips and thought silently.
"Maybe she thought I had told you, so she didn't need to keep it a secret from you."
"Oh, that's true." Qingyou smiled, "In her eyes, we are a loving couple."
"Go away, who wants to be with you?"
"It's just a way of describing it, and we are indeed deep partners, right? Although it's a little different from what it looks like to the outside world." Qingyou drank the hot milk in the cup. "It's quite outrageous. I think Ayano's ability is fully capable of inheriting the family business."
"When Ayano and her brother were young, their father took them to have their IQs tested. The data showed that the younger brother's potential was far greater than Ayano's. It was probably from that time that Ayano's father decided on the principles for the distribution of the family property."
Wow, so it was decided by an IQ test?
Qingyou thought this was a bit outrageous. The so-called IQ test only reflected one-sided logical ability. It did not mean that a high value would definitely lead the family to glory.
He was more inclined to believe that this was an excuse, and that the old man in the Kitahara family simply favored his illegitimate son.
"And Ayano is really not good enough. She is really good at painting, but knows nothing about business management, especially finance and actuarial science. She lacks sensitivity to numbers. Tsk... In short, she is a very artistic little girl. It is perfect for her to manage a gallery with the help of a professional manager."
"Then, is it appropriate for the family to use her as a matchmaker?"
"Oh, Qingyou-jun, do you feel sorry for her or do you feel it's a pity?" Ai Li teased.
"What's so sad about that? You also said that she doesn't have the ability. I think it's good for her to listen to her parents. In other words, if she is as capable as the eldest lady, she can completely control her own destiny."
Qingyou's bragging made Ai Li feel quite comfortable. She usually felt annoyed when she heard subordinates flattering her, but why did the same type of words sound so comfortable when they came out of Qingyou's mouth?
In fact, what Qingyou was thinking was that the Red-Eyed Demon suffered from physiological misogyny, so if he could catch a man alive for engagement, Genichirō would be very grateful, and he wouldn't care about whether it was an arranged marriage or not.
Just like Mr. Lu Xun's "Open Window Theory", because Airi's situation was a bit too extreme, Genichirō lowered his standards for his son-in-law infinitely.
