At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"But don't get me wrong, I'll try my best to stay in the room you arrange..."

Su Che used his 38th skill – "Timely Remediation" – which aimed to reverse the collapsing situation by offering benefits and to persuade the other party through a reward mechanism.

But it's clear that UU isn't a fool; she knows what it means for her if everyone moves in.

Logically and emotionally, it would be a good thing for Su Che to come into his home, but if he were to come with an empty shell... (meaning being eaten by the other cats every day and night), then he would have to carefully consider whether or not to accept him.

UU is a highly intelligent cat who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Even when it comes to her crush moving in, she won't agree blindly.

After thinking it over carefully, she decided to try and get some more benefits from him.

"I understand, you want to move in with your family, right?"

"what……"

"But you can't guarantee they won't do anything to you, can you?"

"That's how it is in theory. I have no right to restrict everyone's freedom." Su Che suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Well, then, this isn't something we can't discuss. But I need you to promise me that every time I come home after a performance, I must have a hot drink ready for me. Can you do that?"

UU stated her request: "If you can guarantee my experience, then I am willing to temporarily provide the house for a 3-year residency period. You know, how much would it cost to rent such a large villa in Tianhai?"

"……Um."

Su Che knew what was going on.

The rent for a small apartment now is already no less than 6 yuan, and a house this big, UU's villa could probably be divided into about 20... Even considering the loss due to the location, it's not something he can afford in the short term.

Moreover, her place has undergone acoustic renovations, making it a perfect residence for performances, rehearsals, parties, or vacations, meeting all of Su Che's current needs without a doubt.

Over three years, the amount would definitely be several hundred thousand.

UU is willing to lend it for free in exchange for the right to "enjoy a cup of tea every time I come home"...

It's not too much.

"I understand. We'll discuss it in detail when we meet. Your current needs should be fine as long as they don't change."

Su Che didn't mince words and immediately offered her some psychological comfort.

If her demand for tea doesn't exceed once a month, then no matter how you calculate it, she's making a profit.

"OK! That's more like it! Come on over!"

UU felt relieved and hung up the phone.

"call……"

Su Che breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.

"Things here are settled, but there are two other things we need to address."

First, it's about white chocolate.

Bai Qiao was about to leave Tianhai before the start of the new school year.

If she leaves, it will be very difficult for our team to smoothly obtain her help again.

"She helps with everything: the design of the merchandise, the collaborative T-shirts, the second set of competition attire... I need to figure out how to keep her here..."

although.

It is wrong to interrupt someone's studies.

But Su Che felt that if she could be given a more promising future that she preferred, then getting a diploma from the school would be enough. A diploma doesn't really mean anything for someone about to enter society.

"Oh, by the way, she seemed to say she was very interested in 'maids'..."

"To make me feel better, she even specially wore a top-tier original maid outfit, and it was even a replica of the style that Ise-nee originally wore..."

"Then if I..."

Suddenly.

Su Che had a sudden flash of inspiration and a dangerous idea came to him.

He quickly called Bai Qiao and posed a question:

"Bai Qiao, what are your plans for work after graduation?"

"Eh? Young Master, why are you asking that?"

Bai Qiao's voice sounded somewhat surprised; it was clear that she was still limp in bed and hadn't gotten up at all.

On holidays, she's the type who won't get up until the afternoon.

She loves to lie down, nestled in the blankets, indulging in a state of extreme laziness.

"Yes. That's right. After our last meeting, I suddenly realized that you... really understand my preferences."

"!"

Bai Qiao opened her beautiful eyes wide, and instantly licked her lips. "Oh, so you finally understand how good I am? Young Master, but are you sure you weren't attracted by some other aspects of me?"

"of course."

Su Che remained calm and unperturbed, unaffected by temptations.

And in the next instant, the bait was thrown out directly—

"So I was thinking, if you're willing, is it possible that after I move to a villa, you could take on the role of my 'only maid' and help me with my daily needs? That way, maybe we could stay together forever. What do you think?"

……

……

Chapter 224 First Meeting with the New Wife

Bai Qiao never imagined that, having already made plans to fly away and leave Tianhai in three days, she would be bound to this fate by a single sentence from the young master.

With graduation approaching, all that's needed in Australia is a diploma to consider a successful outcome. But if the young master is in a hurry, he doesn't actually need the diploma.

"For me, studying abroad was about improving my academic qualifications, but improving my qualifications wasn't for finding a good job like most people do."

Rather...it was so that she could be more cultured while working as a maid.

"Being a maid is my ultimate goal in life—no, to be precise, to become the 'Head Maid.'"

"There is one more prerequisite: she must be the young master's head maid, devoted and eternal, without any changes."

Bai Qiao believes her ultimate wish is simple: to become the personal maid of her beloved, and to replace someone else in his heart, rising to that position smoothly through love and affection, without relying on physical intimacy.

In this way, you can spend the rest of your life rushing forward in the direction you like.

Su Che's offer came at just the right time, prompting her to immediately cancel her flight and call her only superior—

"Ise-nee, I... I'd like to ask you for a favor. I'm not going back to university. Could you help me with the graduation procedures? I just need to get my diploma."

My graduation project has been submitted, and it should pass without any unexpected issues.

She presented her demands in detail.

On the other end of the phone, a clear voice seemed to see through everything. Instead of immediately agreeing, it asked in return:

"So, is everything going smoothly?"

"Ah...I guess so."

Bai Qiao said nervously, "I have to thank Ise-nee for taking care of me... I... I have seen clearly the path I should take next."

She tried her best not to show any excitement.

Unfortunately, for the head maid, every word she uttered contained a wealth of information.

"I understand. Congratulations! I'll help you finish your studies. You can stay in Tianhai."

But I feel I need to remind you that if you get closer to your goal in life, you only have one chance. I'm referring to positive feelings—

Please remember, once your favorability rating reaches zero, you will be of no use to me for the rest of my life, and the old man will arrange for someone to erase you. Do you understand?

"...!"

Bai Qiao was deeply shaken upon hearing this.

She knew who the mysterious person Ise-nee was talking about was.

Looking across the entertainment industry, there are very few people who can be described as having the power to "control the world with a single hand".

The head maid had been employed by him for many years. Her high-end maid and housekeeping headquarters, "Black and White," was a luxury service center that many socialites and the upper class were willing to pay high prices for customized appointments. It was also a top-notch maid training base.

Of course, in addition to maids, there is also targeted training for butlers and housekeepers, which is so professional that it is impeccable, and the range of services is extremely wide.

The old man, whose legal representative was Lu Qiancheng, was surnamed Lu.

As a legend in Tianhai City's industry, his business scope extends to the entertainment industry, media, talent shows, and music, encompassing everything from model selection to live performances and online celebrity live streams.

And Ise-nee is the highest-ranking spokesperson for the conglomerate personally appointed by the old man.

As the head maid of the "Black and White" family and the most perfect role model for all the maids, she is responsible for handling all kinds of critical business contracts and carrying out the most troublesome tasks on his behalf. She holds shares and has a noble status. The relationship between the two can be said to be no different from that between a granddaughter and her grandfather.

Bai Qiao knew that she couldn't defeat the top maid in real life, but she was very clear-headed. She knew that even the maid had feelings of attachment to the young master, otherwise she wouldn't always ask her to "check on the young master for her" and interfere in the young master's life.

Therefore, as long as one can obtain what the head maid desires but cannot reach, then from a certain perspective, it can be considered a great victory in one's life.

"I understand, Ise-nee, I will cherish this opportunity."

She said cautiously.

"That's good."

Ise didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly.

Bai Qiao took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

She knew that Ise's silence meant tacit agreement, and that she would absolutely fulfill her promises perfectly.

"Phew... Now I can focus on the next step of the plan and wholeheartedly stay by the young master's side to share the burden of life."

She canceled her plane ticket and, unusually, got out of bed, forcefully shaking off the "stay-in-bed" debuff. She opened the chat history and began to ponder the meaning behind the young master's words.

The maid was the first thing he mentioned, and another point was that he highly praised his design concept for the "team uniform" and the stage effects.

I actually went to the live show secretly that day, but I was completely covered up and hidden in a dark corner on the second floor, so no one noticed me.

At that moment, the screams from the fans below the stage had reached their peak, and the owner of the LiveHouse next to the mixing console on the second floor nodded frequently, with a smile never disappearing from his lips.
