Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

The reason the Qi family took such action was the inexperienced Miss Ouyang, Ouyang Lizhi.

As a result, the number of people in Fenghai City who are optimistic about Li Zhi's business acumen, or rather, who are optimistic about the potential of the Ouyang family, will increase significantly.

The task of paving the way for Li Zhi, which was originally very difficult, was suddenly completed in one go. How could Ouyang Yan and Elisa not be happy!

I imagine the Ouyang family will be inundated with business orders seeking cooperation in the coming days...

.................

The VIP lounge behind the banquet hall.

Yu Zhe waited here with Zi Xiao and the others. It seemed that Xiao Lizhi had gone to talk to her parents right after stepping off the stage.

Before long, Little Lychee arrived with a beaming smile.

Judging from her expression, everyone knew she must have just been praised. It's truly rare, and it might sound sad, but it could be the first time in Xiaolizhi's life that she's ever been praised...

Cough, no, no, it's not that bad.

After Little Lychee came in, she couldn't wait to share her joy of victory and gave Yu Zhe a warm bear hug.

"Brother Yuzhe, I really did it! Did I do a good job?!"

"Well, I'm not just flattering you, you really did a great job." Yu Zhe smiled wryly, patted her head, and gave her this rare compliment. "Keep it up in the future. Excellence can't be a one-time thing; you have to grow slowly."

"Uh-huh!"

Hehe, with a compliment from Brother Yu Zhe, all the effort was worth it.

Oh, of course! I really appreciated the praise from my parents!

"Ahem! Little Lychee, calm down!"

Zixiao reminded Xiaolizhi to stop moving.

"Ok?"

Little Lychee lifted her head from Yu Zhe's arms and innocently looked around.

Well...

Four words can describe the current situation.

— "Surrounded by enemies on all sides".

Zixiao, who had just spoken, now had an unfriendly expression.

Not only that.

Mo Lingyun's eyes gleamed with a dark light as she stared intently at Xiao Lizhi's hand gripping Yu Zhe's clothes, muttering something unintelligible to herself.

Yu Che was more direct; she was already looking around for something. She needed a weapon that could knock someone unconscious but not injure them.

Qi Xinye quickly stepped in to mediate.

She first pressed her palm down to signal everyone to calm down, and then gently removed the little lychee from Yu Zhe's body.

"Little Lychee, do you want to hear something I'm going to teach you?"

"Um!

"Thanks to Sister Qi, I managed to succeed just now. Although I don't know how, I know that the praise I received must be largely due to what Sister Qi said earlier, so... I'm willing to learn from her!"

Little Lychee now basically regards Qi Xinye as her mentor. Only by following her mentor can she reach the road to success!

However, what Qi Xinye wanted to teach her this time was not a way that could be praised, but a more practical "principle" that could ensure her own safety.

"Well, that was just a small matter, nothing to worry about. But what I'm about to say is something important, so Little Lychee, you'd better listen carefully."

"I...I understand." Little Lychee swallowed. If what happened just now was so important, it was a small matter. How important must this matter be to be considered a big deal!

Qi Xinye nodded in satisfaction and said, "Listen, this is very important. In the future, when any of us are present, Xiao Lizhi, you must not rush to hug Xiao Zhe or do anything else intimate. Of course, the same goes for you. When you are present, we will not take the initiative to approach Xiao Zhe."

"Hmm...?"

Little Lychee didn't understand.

why?

If you don't understand, then you should ask. That's how Little Lychee does it.

"Sister Qi, I don't quite understand... I like Brother Yuzhe, and I have an urge to hug him whenever I see him. Isn't everyone the same? I think following your heart is the right thing to do, and besides..."

Little Lychee looked at Yu Che, whose hands were in the pockets of his tracksuit shirt: "And just now, didn't Sister Yu Che... pin Brother Yu Zhe down on the bed when we were all there...?"

Before Qi Xinye could reply, Yu Che raised a finger at Xiao Lizhi: "Kid, don't compare yourself to me. I am the chosen one, and the only one."

"?"

Qi Xinye said with a wry smile, "Haha...except for her. She is indeed quite special, you could say she has a privilege. Little Lychee, you might not understand what I just said. Let me put it another way: we all follow this principle in order to prevent the outbreak of 'war'."

"War?!" Little Lychee was terrified. "No way! I just hugged Brother Yuzhe, could that really cause a war?!"

“It’s not that kind of war…” Qi Xinye reorganized her words, and gave Yu Zhe a reproachful look.

Honestly, Xiao Zhe is naturally a bit cunning. He just likes to watch the show at times like this and doesn't even try to explain things to anyone.

But soon, Qi Xinye came up with a simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

"Let me put it this way, Little Lychee, just now you saw Yuche hugging Xiaozhe... I don't know what they were doing, but the way they were doing it, do you think it made you feel uncomfortable?"

"this..."

Hmm, it seems she understood immediately this time.

This is called putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

54. Beware!

Thinking about it this way...

Even someone as innocent as Xiao Lizhi had to admit that when Sister Yuche tackled Brother Yuzhe in front of her, her thoughts were quite clear.

That is—my bed, my Yuzhe brother, you've taken it all, where am I supposed to lie down...?

cough!

Indeed! I do feel uncomfortable.

If that's the case, then I suppose everyone else felt the same way when I hugged Brother Yuzhe just now.

Little Lychee understood.

She raised one hand above her head and made a clumsy, comical gesture to Qi Xinye assuring her.

"Okay! Sister Qi, I promise I won't be affectionate with Brother Yuzhe in front of everyone anymore, I'll only do it when we're alone!"

Mo Lingyun kindly whispered a reminder: "Ah, Little Lychee, you shouldn't say things like that... You know it yourself, but you're being too naive, you know? It's very likely that you'll be the only one without braised pork at the dinner table in the future."

Another threat.JPG.

"That serious?! Okay... okay."

Hmm, I guess I'm still too inexperienced. Everyone else knows so much.

"Pfft... It's okay, it's okay." Qi Xinye pressed her palm down. "This isn't about following the rules, it's just so that everyone can be happy in the future and not be jealous of each other... It's also so that Xiao Zhe can have peace of mind. Sigh, who told someone to be so greedy and insist on wanting it all? So the problems caused by this decision will have to be coordinated internally by us, right?"

Yu Zhe said, "Just give me your ID number."

He scratched the back of his head apologetically, saying, "Apologize as you will, but I want all of this... How dare you say it again!"

As the chosen one, Yu Che completely disregarded the rules set by these mortals.

She had just finished speaking when she grabbed Yu Zhe's arm, taking up a completely advantageous position.

Even if the girls wanted to complain, they couldn't say anything.

You're the boss, you're in charge.

Yu Che, like a queen, surveyed the crowd with her short stature.

After nodding in satisfaction, he looked up at Yu Zhe.

"Brother, shouldn't we be leaving soon? We have a ton of work to do at the company. If we stay here all night, it'll probably be worth three of the business deals that the big-breasted woman just gave to the Ouyang family."

"That's true..."

Yu Zhe knew that this was indeed the busiest time of day; he was a very idle person every day. But Yu Che couldn't be like that; she was now the younger sister who had to "support the family."

It would be really inhumane to let her leave on her own and continue playing here with everyone else.

As soon as Yu Zhe leaves, Zi Xiao and the others will probably follow, so Yu Che succinctly said, "Let's go," thus avoiding any potential discussion about who should leave and who shouldn't.

After all, Yu Che prioritizes efficiency.

Sigh, although in small

It's a bit of a shame that I can't spend more time with Lizhi on her birthday, but there's always plenty of time in the future.

"Little Lychee." As soon as Yu Zhe spoke, everyone stood tacitly beside him, knowing what he was going to say. "We won't stay long today, the company is a bit busy, let's do it another day. Another day I'll come over here, or you can come to my apartment, and we'll throw you a proper birthday party."

"Are you leaving already..."

The music filling the venue suddenly brought a sense of tranquility to Xiao Lizhi's ears.

Wherever Brother Yu Zhe is, there is peace and prosperity; where he is not, there is only desolation.

I don't know when it happened, but this naturally naive girl has also become dependent on Yu Zhe's tenderness~

It's okay, she's very sensible.

Brother Yuzhe is busy, so we must not let him be dragged down by her little matter.

And after Little Lychee, there's a big plan in store!

Little Lychee looked up and smiled at everyone.

"Okay! Have a safe trip home, everyone! Oh, by the way, it's my birthday today... You haven't had a bite of birthday cake yet. If we have a little time, I'll go to the banquet hall and get some. How about you have just one bite?"

"Haha, you don't need to be so humble."

Yu Zhe gently flicked the tip of her nose and whispered in her ear in a voice no one else could hear, "If you really act a little selfish, I might stay and celebrate your birthday with you, even if it means neglecting work."

"!"

My heart is fluttering!

But that won't work.
