Chapter 98 Coaxing My Sister
In the car, on the way back.
Yan Liu switched the car to driverless mode, sat in the back seat, and hugged Chu Yinan, whom she hadn't seen for several hours.
"How's it like being a door-to-door salesperson?"
"I feel there's a lot to learn here, but I managed to land two orders!" Chu Yinan said with pride, but a hint of regret soon followed.
If it weren't for Representative Locke's hemorrhoids flaring up, Shibuya might be on his list of achievements now. But even if he had, his score of 3/5 would still be stuck in a mediocre position.
He didn't know many wealthy women anymore, and he wasn't sure if the police superintendent with dark circles under her eyes was the kind of person who would be willing to pay a high premium for lingerie. It wouldn't be good to ask Jiang Xuanya and her mother to buy two more sets.
Who knows, we might have to start with Aunt Liu's pretty girlfriends.
It's tough!
"That's great. I thought you wouldn't be able to close a single deal."
"That's underestimating me!" Chu Yinan retorted stubbornly, but in the end, he was melted by Aunt Liu's voluptuous beauty and honestly confessed, "Actually, this should be considered a thank-you gift from Aunt Hyun-eun and Senior Xuan-ya. Aunt Liu should know something about Kim Geun-jun's affair. Back then, he tried to seduce both Teacher Iori and Senior Xuan-ya at once, but I smelled the lies on him and told them. So, these two orders should be thank-you gifts."
Yes, we should also try to get Iori-sensei. I feel like Iori-sensei is a C or D? That would put her within Silky's potential customer range in terms of hardware!
"Anything else? I can smell perfume on Xiao Chunan!" Yan Liu let her little darling rest his head on her plump, jade-like legs so she could see his expression clearly.
"...After the order was placed, Aunt Hyun-eun and Senior Sister Seon-ah asked me to stay with them for a 45-minute nap."
"there is none left?"
"There really aren't any left!"
Chu Yinan looked earnestly into Yan Liu's eyes to show that he was not lying. Noticing that her gaze was somewhat serious, Chu Yinan hugged the beautiful woman's arm and admitted his mistake.
Yan Liu said earnestly, "Although Jiang Xuanya is your senior, the daughter of my old client, and Yu Tang's classmate, she is still a stranger to you. You can't just sell your body for internship orders in the future! What if someone really has bad intentions?"
"I understand." Chu Yinan agreed first to show his attitude, and then dared to talk back. He observed Yan Liu's expression and asked in a low voice, "It's just taking a nap, it's not as serious as selling your body, right? I often take naps with you guys too."
"Whether Xiao Chunan naps with me, with Yutang, or with your father, it's all perfectly natural for him to sleep. You're my little darling, what if you get kidnapped without me even realizing it if you nap with someone else?"
"No way, no one can kidnap me from the artificial island... I didn't even leave the island last night, so the kidnapping doesn't count." After being silently stared at by Yan Liu for a while, Chu Yinan shut up and changed his tune: "I understand, you have to be firm in your refusal from now on!"
"Hmm, that's a good boy~" Yan Liu left a red lip print on his cheek and ordered him to wipe it off when he got home that night. "By the way, I'll take you and Yu Tang out for a walk in a couple of days. I'm still a little scared after what happened yesterday. Let's see when Heinrich comes back. If she doesn't come before we leave, we'll have to let her go to a restaurant by herself."
"Mmm." Because of the lipstick mark on her face, Chu Yinan's mind was not on Yan Liu's words.
Poor Chu Yinan arrived at the company and immediately pulled his collar over his ear to cover the lip print with his clothes, just like those elite legal professionals who covered their faces yesterday. He waited until Yan Liu parked the car before they went upstairs together.

in the office.
Bei Yutang sat in the swing-like birdcage sofa, facing the natural light from the window, writing and drawing in her notebook with a beautiful pen, ignoring even when her younger brother returned.
Normally, they would at least give me a reply, but this situation is unusual.
Chu Yinan thought about it for a moment and realized that her sister was angry. Jiang Xuanya had gone too far with her joke, and Yu Tang had already expressed her feelings by hanging up the phone. She just didn't expect that her sister's anger hadn't subsided yet.
He tiptoed over, but then remembered that Aunt Liu had smelled Jiang Xuanya and her daughter's scent earlier, and he felt it was still inappropriate. Even though Aunt Liu had hugged him for so long, and his scent was probably covered up by hers, he still had to take some precautions just to be on the safe side!
Chu Yinan ran to Yan Liu's desk, opened the small refrigerator, took out a few slices of lemon from the freezer bag and ate them. She also flicked a few drops of lemon juice onto her clothes as a cover. Then, with her mother's lipstick stain still on her, she shrank her neck and went to her sister.
"Yu Tang, I'm back!" Chu Yinan squatted down next to Bei Yu Tang's black-stockinged legs and poked her calf with his finger.
But her sister ignored her, as if Chu Yinan's existence had been blocked out. She was immersed in her own world, writing down clues of inspiration, but then crossing them out after writing a string of words.
"Don't be angry, Yutang. Have you washed your feet? I can massage them for you if the situation allows, okay?" This sarcastic remark was intentional; Chu Yinan just wanted his sister to pay him a little attention.
Bei Yutang's socks look the same every day, but in reality, she doesn't wear the same pair twice in a week. She has a whole drawer in her wardrobe specifically for socks, and she has more socks than Chu Yinan has clothes. This morning, after taking the bus to the company, she stayed in the air-conditioned office without moving around or sweating, so it didn't matter whether she washed her feet or not.
But his sister still ignored him, so Chu Yinan decided to lower himself and picked up Yu Tang's black-stockinged feet to massage them. He pinched her delicate toes and gently drilled into the soles of her feet. His skillful technique would make him unemployed even in a foot massage parlor.
This time, Bei Yutang finally paid attention to him.
"They just wiped lemon juice all over my socks?"
If someone were to say something like, "Let me help you get rid of your smelly feet," the sibling relationship would likely be completely severed.
"I've already wiped my hands, and Yutang has so many socks, so it's fine to just change into a new pair."
Chu Yinan immediately took charge for her sister, then pulled her arm, climbed onto a chair, sat in her lap, wrapped her arms around her swan-like neck, and coaxed her in a childish voice, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you keep getting angry you'll get wrinkles."
Bei Yutang was trying to comfort her younger brother, who still had their mother's lipstick mark on his face. She was a little angry, but in the end, she calmed down and used her hand to wipe Yan Liu's lipstick mark off for him.
"Aren't you going to go fooling around with your new older sister, Jiang Xuanya?"
"No, she just came in and said that nonsense. No matter how good other people are, they can't compare to my sister, who's been through thick and thin with me. No... what she just said doesn't count."
Chu Yinan felt he hadn't used the right word; "wife who has shared hardship" seemed to imply something ugly. He quickly changed his wording to an antonym that was a compliment.
No matter how good other people are, they can't compare to my beautiful and charming sister at home.
"Where did you learn to be so glib?" Bei Yutang gently pinched his cheek, completely losing her anger.
Chapter 99 Video Call with the Female Father
night.
With two orders secured, Chu Yinan decided to relax for a while and stop thinking about her internship.
However, these days, watching the news is more interesting than playing games, because the situation on the Twin Islands has been quite lively lately.
The Special Security Bureau has launched an investigation on Twin Islands (also known as Fengshui Island and Changfeng Island). It has been confirmed that Kim Geun-joon, a senior assistant at BG Media Technology Company, plotted to attack Congressman Locke. Some of the idol fan groups he invests in and operates are suspected of seriously disrupting order on the artificial islands, and the Bureau is currently assessing their removal from Twin Islands as substandard cultural content.
[Recently confirmed cases include: the privacy rights case of the author of "Snow," the case of a body found in a middle school cafeteria, and the assassination of Congressman Locke. The investigations in all these cases point to the idol's fan base and the fan base of the related books.]
[Also included on the warning list are all series of works by the author "Sanqifen Tang," whose spirit contradicts the "Promoting Growth" project and may contain anti-humanitarian tendencies. Members of the artificial island are advised to be aware and exercise caution when engaging with them.]
We have issued arrest warrants for some secondary school students and adults who are resisting education (list of names, identification numbers, and workplaces at the end), and have expelled them from the Twin Islands and all artificial islands. Their relatives and close associates will be held jointly liable based on their behavior. We hope for your cooperation.
This swift, forceful, and domineering approach was essentially the brainchild of Valentina, the Russian AI with a fighting spirit. However, Chu Yinan never imagined that the three cases he was involved in would become the basis for Valentina's actions.
"Expulsion and collective punishment are too harsh. With this kind of personality, will blind dates and matchmaking also enter a high-pressure period in the future...?" Chu Yinan was a little worried.
He's actually pretty much resigned to his fate right now. About a month has passed since his sister's privacy case started, and the three consecutive cases have left him mentally exhausted and with little time to think about that small group of potential matches.
trouble.
Chu Yinan forced herself not to think about it and temporarily downloaded Xinglang Weibo to see the reactions of the book fans and idol fans, but the first thing she wanted to see was what their studios would say in response.
The artificial island system is practically a different world from the outside system. Banning artificial islands doesn't necessarily mean anything major is happening outside, but it will definitely affect public opinion.
They may still be discussing countermeasures, as their studio has not yet responded. Their latest post is a repost of a fan's post about participating in a volunteer activity, with the caption "I will always be with you."
However, after refreshing the page a while, a new update appeared, with the words "Fan behavior has nothing to do with the idol" highlighted in large red letters.
Good grief, when fans do good deeds, it's considered an act of solidarity, but when fans get into trouble, it's deemed unrelated to the idol.
Chu Yinan scratched his head. "Huh? Nothing else? Looks like the artificial island isn't good enough. Oh well, I'll just go hang around their agency's office sometime and see if I can trigger any plot."
Of course, if the plot were actually triggered, he would run away immediately.
Just as he was complaining, someone suddenly sent him a video call request through his personal service terminal. This is usually something only family members can do to contact each other. Was it Heinrich?
Chu Yinan decisively accepted the call request.
The first thing that entered his screen was a pair of substantial and imposing breasts resting on the table, with the loose buttons at the neckline revealing a deep cleavage, and of course, strands of golden hair hanging down at the temples.
Chu Yinan didn't actually know much about the woman's father's identity. Because everyone around him was a nice person, he was too lazy to investigate too much. The only thing he knew was that "the woman's father might be a nobleman with a very high background," but she herself had never revealed her identity.
"Heinrich, move the camera up a bit, I can't see your face anymore." Chu Yinan took out a cup and moved it back to demonstrate to her.
"What a hassle! Isn't it supposed to be a smart phone? Why can't it automatically focus on my face?" The woman's voice was tired and impatient, her slurred tone revealing a slight buzz from alcohol.
Chu Yinan thought to himself, even smartphones can't break through hardware limitations to give you a camera. You're directly blocking their camera by standing right up close. How can the camera focus for you?
However, he has gotten used to it. His female father is an anomaly in this era, extremely unfamiliar with and averse to electronic products.
Heinrich fiddled with his phone, but still couldn't get it working.
"Why did you zoom in? All I can see now is Heinrich's chin, collarbone, and chest. Adjust it again."
"This is way too complicated. I should have had someone else do it beforehand."
Chu Yinan finally saw her face clearly. Normally, her features would give people a cold and domineering feeling. Her appearance is somewhat androgynous. She is a beauty that is completely different from Bei Yutang and Yan Liu. However, she does look a bit like a drunken uncle now.
"Drink less alcohol; the safe intake of alcohol for the human body is '0'."
“This isn’t wine, it’s grape juice.” Heinrich waved the glass in his hand toward the camera; it was filled with a deep red liquid.
She used to do this; when drinking cocktails or similar drinks, she would lie to Chu Yinan and say they were orange juice or other fruit juices, probably to avoid giving the child the wrong education about alcoholism.
"Heinrich, when are you coming back? Aunt Liu said we're going to go on a trip together in a few days. If you don't come back, you'll have to eat out by yourself."
"It should be soon, but something else has come up recently, which might delay it a bit. If I can't make it in time, you guys go ahead and give me a location so I can get there myself."
"Do you know how to check location?" Chu Yinan was very skeptical.
"Don't doubt the adults, and besides, AI can drive itself, so they just need to be able to watch."
Heinrich probably wanted to flick Chu Yinan's forehead, so he reached out and flicked the camera, trying to teach this little guy who was trying to outsmart adults a lesson from afar. As a result, he knocked the phone over.
Suddenly, the camera spun around, and Chu Yinan could no longer see Heinrich's face. Instead, she saw his ample southern hemisphere from a low angle. This unserious father had only buttoned up one or two buttons on his shirt to make it look like he was dressed in the video, but the rest of the buttons were completely undone, revealing his southern hemisphere and abs.
If the phone hadn't fallen over, you wouldn't have been able to see so many.
Chu Yinan was too lazy to say anything. Under normal circumstances, she was a very meticulous person, and her clothing reflected that. The only exception was when she drank alcohol, when she would become a little sloppy and casual.
"Aren't you going to ask about my sister, me, and Aunt Liu's situation?"
“I’ve been aware of this all along. I just video-chatted with Yan Liu when she was taking a shower last time.”
You're quite good at finding the right time; you only video chatted with Aunt Liu while she was taking a shower.
"But I'll still ask, how's Yutang's writing going lately?"
"Luckily, I chased away all the troublemakers. Pretty impressive, right?!" Chu Yinan was very proud. She didn't feel much accomplishment in solving cases, but being able to help her sister was the happiest thing.
"Great! Have you grown taller this year? I've ordered a little dress for you. If you haven't grown taller, it won't look very good in it."
Chu Yinan's good mood vanished instantly, and he coldly prepared to hang up the phone: "Oh, the network seems to be a bit slow. Road construction nearby may have dug up the communication lines. Let's talk again sometime. Bye, Heinrich."
