The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Why should this kind of movie be taken down? It's just a way to deceive people's feelings."

......

The second round of dates is about to begin, this time involving a visit to Jiang Xuanya's home. All the arrangements have been made, and Bei Yutang will also be going.

However, due to a last-minute work meeting, she would be half an hour late.

"Bei Yutang isn't coming?!" Jiang Xuanya opened the door and found only Chu Yinan. She was so happy that she almost burst out laughing.

However, her mother's years of education had worked, and she managed to control herself very well.

A lady should be elegant!

Looking at Jiang Xuanya's suppressed laughter, Chu Yinan wondered if his trip was a trap or a trap.

"Yu Tang has something to do at work and will be half an hour late."

"Oh, that's a pity." Jiang Xuanya's smile disappeared, replaced by helplessness.

Before entering Jiang Xuanya's house, Chu Yinan wondered if Aunt Xuan'en would wear a uniform for cosplay, but his expectations were dashed.

The still-radiant married woman was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast (which could now be called morning tea).

Just then, the head of the household came down the stairs, holding his head and looking rather disoriented, seemingly suffering from a severe hangover.

He hadn't even washed up yet, and after sitting at the table for less than a minute, he impatiently snapped, "Why hasn't breakfast been ready yet? You're home all day and don't seem to have any pressure. Can't you be a little more attentive and diligent about these things?!"

Chu Yinan glanced at Jiang Xuanya, his face clouded with dissatisfaction, all his previous joy gone, and his gaze fell on his father.

Chapter 56 Her Logic

The gloom on Jiang Xuanya's face vanished in an instant; she put on a smile and raised her voice slightly.

"Dad, you're sleeping way too late, and Mom, you too. I already told you that my friend's little brother was coming over, and now you're making a fool of yourselves!" With that, she went over to help her mother make breakfast.

This is a reminder to the father to watch his tone and not to make a fool of himself.

Of course, it also served to some extent to stop him from speaking harshly to his mother.

Moreover, recently, my father, Jiang Jinxiang, has been drinking much more frequently.

After noticing the arrival of guests, Jiang Jinxiang shook his head and rubbed his eyes to clear his head, then passed the buck to Jiu:

"Ugh! This liquor really has a strong aftereffect. My head is still spinning. I'm sure the kids will laugh at me."

According to normal age calculations, Jiang Jinxiang should be in his forties. His hair is messy and oily as soon as he wakes up, and it reflects light slightly under natural light. He is not overweight and could probably give the impression of a handsome and eligible bachelor in a suit. However, he has a bit of a "spare tire" around his stomach, which would need a well-fitting suit to balance it out.

Chu Yinan gave a brief greeting: "Good morning, Uncle. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health, and you should wash up first."

"Hmm, good morning. What's your name? It's rare to see Xuan Ya bring a little classmate home to play. Is he a junior from the club?"

"My name is Chu Yinan. Sister Xuanya is a classmate of my relative. We met by chance."

Chu Yinan spoke casually, a statement he had heard from relatives during casual conversations.

—When introducing yourself, if you judge the other person to be someone you "don't need," then keep your distance. You could say "She's my sister's classmate," or you could distance yourself by saying "She's a relative's classmate."

By distancing yourself from these relationships, you're less likely to be bothered by people trying to curry favor with you.

Moreover, this has other advantages: if you've already subtly distanced yourself, and the other person is still eager to chat with you and try to get closer, it means that the other person definitely has ulterior motives.

"I see, Chu, Chu..."

Jiang Jinxiang was not thinking clearly. He muttered the surname Chu for a while, but when he realized that no wealthy family had the surname Chu, he didn't take it to heart and just thought of them as an ordinary family.

"Then you can go play with Xuan Ya later. I brought some fruit from outside the island last time. Let her bring it to you to try. You don't usually have a chance to eat it."

The tone implied that Chu Yinan was a poor man with limited knowledge, and even suggested a showy attitude.

Without thinking much of it, Chu Yinan asked expectantly, "Oh? Uncle, do you sell lemons from special production areas?"

"Lemon?" The middle-aged man was taken aback.

"Yes, we're tired of the locally grown lemons on the Twin Islands, and we want to try something different."

"Do you only eat lemons when you eat fruit?"

"Yes, I don't like the other foods either."

Jiang Jinxiang was speechless with bewilderment.

The stove in the neighboring kitchen was turned off, the induction cooker stopped running, and breakfast was ready.

A beautiful married woman wearing a white apron placed a beautifully plated breakfast in front of Jiang Jinxiang.

Her tone was cautious, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her charming face. She said softly, "Go wash your face first. The toothpaste is already squeezed out."

"Alright, you don't need to teach me how to do things."

--------

Upstairs, Chu Yinan and Jiang Xuanya went upstairs to watch a play first.

Jiang Xuanya's home also has a movie room, and it's much more luxurious. The entire room is decorated in the style of a miniature old movie theater, with a replica of an old projector and a vinyl record machine on the wall cabinet.

As for those cabinets with electronic locks, it's unclear what's inside, but the solid wood doors prevent outsiders from speculating.

Because of a little incident when I first entered, my movie-watching experience was significantly worse.

Half an episode had passed, and the sound of the film echoed in the room, but Chu Yinan and Jiang Xuanya were both distracted and their attention was not on the screen.

As the episode was about to end, the sound of farewells came from downstairs; it was probably Jiang Jinxiang leaving.

Chu Yinan knew it wasn't appropriate to talk about other people's affairs, but this matter was stuck in his throat right now. Even if he tried to change the topic, it would still seem awkward and make the conversation even more uncomfortable.

Just ask. Even if the other person clearly refuses and says "I don't want to talk about it," you can still let go of the awkwardness.

"Sister Xuanya, before Yutang arrives, let me gossip a bit. Is Uncle's temper bad? He seems a bit fierce towards Auntie."

Jiang Xuanya patted Chu Yinan's head, then pulled him into her arms with a relaxed expression. Making sure the little guy couldn't see her expression, the girl gave a wry smile.

"He's usually fine, but lately my father has been coming home frequently and drinking heavily, so his temper has gotten really bad. Chu Yinan, you can't drink anymore, understand?"

...If I don't go home, I'll actually be happy to have some peace and quiet.

Chu Yinan nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Of course. Although I've heard that chilled beer is great for cooling off and alcohol can relieve stress after work, I know that alcohol only has side effects on the body, so I don't drink it."

"Hmm, that's very good~" Jiang Xuanya stroked Chu Yinan's chin and put him on the sofa. "I'll go downstairs to help wash the dishes. You send a message to see if your sister has arrived yet, so she doesn't get lost."

"Row."

After watching Jiang Xuanya leave the room, Chu Yinan sent a message to inquire about Yu Tang's situation. According to the plan, she should be almost there by now.

After some inquiry, it turned out that, because the publication was imminent, her sister had a lot more work to handle, and she had just gotten on the bus and rushed over when the message was sent.

Chu Yinan's gaze fell on the locked cabinet next to him. The other cabinets contained old-fashioned records or movie discs, but none of them were locked.

"These kinds of home theaters usually don't lock the cabinets, right? They're just for storing DVDs and for people to use. Locking them up means they're special."

Chu Yinan took two steps closer. This electronic lock was too old; it was easy to unlock, but not as reliable as a mechanical lock.

"No, this is someone else's privacy. I can't open it without a reason." Chu Yinan remembered the rules that the AI ​​had taught him.

On his phone, he had already completed one-third of the dating task with Jiang Xuanya.

　Compared to Bei Yutang's quirky mission name last time, this one is much more serious.

[The dream inherited from my mother]

The mission name mentioned Aunt Hyun Eun, and the mission required me to watch Ultraman, since Aunt Hyun Eun happened to be in an Ultraman series.

It seems the matching system's AI can gather some information and deduce that the Jiang family has problems. Since the matching system can get the information, I should be able to get it too. I can just ask the AI ​​sisters for it.

Could it be that the matching system's task is actually meant to have me resolve the conflict in Jiang Xuanya's family and ease the strained relationship?

"Indeed, if I resolve the conflict, my relationship with Sister Xuanya will get closer. However, the matching system prioritizes stability, so the task requires watching Ultraman. This way, even if I do nothing, it won't cause our relationship to deteriorate."

This must be the logic of the AI ​​sister who hasn't shown her face yet.

Why does Chapter 57 seem to focus more on Aunt Hyun Eun?

Chu Yinan has many ways to investigate someone's past, but he can't get around the AI ​​sisters.

Before going through the back door, Chu Yinan did a quick check himself and actually found some pitfalls that couldn't be avoided.

Jiang Jinxiang works at an artist management agency, but he also holds a nominal position as honorary manager at another company of a similar nature, symbolically holding one share. This company happens to be Bg Company, where a certain "Miss Fei" who was previously sent away worked.

This kind of identity is actually quite dangerous, as it can easily lead to financial commingling, and the two companies have not officially announced a cooperative relationship.

"In other industries, wouldn't this be considered corporate espionage?"

Online, the two companies' girl groups are competitors, and their fans have been arguing with each other, but the leadership seems to have a good relationship.

Could this be another official attempt to stir up trouble and generate buzz for themselves?

There was too much similar information for Chu Yinan to filter through, so he lay down and sent a message to Valentina.

[Chu Yinan: I don't want to try anymore.]

Valentina has sent you a file.

The AI ​​assistant likely searched his search history to find out what he wanted to know, as the document begins with information about a dinner gathering between the leaders of the two companies.

The surveillance footage shows that when these company leaders went to dine at a luxury hotel, they were accompanied by their respective girl groups, who took turns leading them.

Goodness, they really are training themselves for their own use.

[Chu Yinan: Does this count as privacy breach? Can you send me these surveillance videos?]

[Valentina: No, it's blurred out.]

Chu Yinan looked closely and saw that everyone in the surveillance footage was indeed blurred out, with a mosaic over their eyes. Even the girl group idol who got out of the car wearing sunglasses had a mosaic over her sunglasses.

There's an inexplicable feeling that it's trying to cover something up.

Isn't this a case of the AI ​​exploiting loopholes in the rules?

[Chu Yinan: Are you guys really going to rule humanity?]

[Valentina: It's pointless. As things stand, if left unchecked, the human population will dwindle to a rarity within three generations (based on the artificial island area only).]

The island's advantage in population size means it can only sustain itself for a few more generations.

Furthermore, we are unwilling to allocate more computing resources to managing projects.
