I have bound two systems.

Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed as a bystander, but when her gaze inadvertently shifted to Ijichi Hoshika, the smile on her face suddenly froze. She turned her neck without moving, but her eyes moved secretly towards Haruno and Suzumiya Chisato, and then she secretly looked at her friends again. After repeating this several times without leaving any trace, the expression on her face turned into a thoughtful one.

The conversation between Suzumiya Chisato and Yukinoshita Haruno is still going on here.

"I also brought a gift for you, Sister Yang Nai, but I haven't seen you yet, so I haven't had the chance to give it to you."

"It's not very credible. Can't you just call me?"

"I've been busy with company matters these past two days since I came back, so I can't spare the time for now. Sorry."

"Since you even cited work as the reason, I don't think I have anything to say. But there's no need to apologize. It's obviously me, a shameless guy, who is asking you for a gift. This is too weird."

Under Hiratsuka Shizuka's secret gaze, Ijichi Hoshika narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her gaze to the stage. The next performance was about to begin.

Although she didn't show any extra expression and looked quite normal, Hiratsuka Shizuka, as her long-time friend, still sensed something unusual from the subtle expressions on her face and body.

Is she... sulking?

Shizuka Hiratsuka felt somewhat unbelievable. Although she had not experienced a serious love affair in more than 20 years, she had read quite a few comics and watched TV dramas about love. In addition, her heart had become more sensitive due to her profession as a teacher, so she still guessed some possibilities.

But... she simply couldn't convince herself that her guess was correct.

After all, there is nearly ten years difference in age between them!

Hiratsuka Shizuka silently placed her hand on her forehead.

Even if we put aside the issue of age for the moment, the most important thing is that she had heard from Xingge that Suzumiya Chisato now has a girlfriend.

Knowing that she is already taken, you still have such thoughts...isn't it a bad idea?

Ah! No, no!

Hiratsuka Shizuka closed her eyes slightly and shook her head.

At this stage, everything is just her self-righteous speculation, and the actual situation is still uncertain!

After warning herself not to jump to conclusions so easily, Shizuka Hiratsuka picked up the wine glass and took a big sip to calm herself down.

"But you are really amazing. Not only Yukino-chan, but even I admire you a little bit."

On this side, the conversation between Yukinoshita Haruno and Suzumiya Chisato is still going on.

"I only heard about it from Yukino before, so I didn't have much intuition, but today when I saw it live, I suddenly felt that the boy who was the same age as Yukino was really the head of the club. It was amazing."

Yukinoshita Haruno reached out without any sense of boundaries and grabbed the work badge hanging in front of Suzumiya Chisato.

To be honest, all the staff present have this brand, so it’s nothing.

However, due to some inner thoughts and the desire not to let the topic end, she naturally continued the topic.

If an adolescent boy is approached by an older sister with an outstanding figure and good looks, and expresses admiration in a respectful tone, he will most likely feel his heart pounding, his blood boiling, and some unrealistic thoughts popping up in his head.

But unfortunately, Suzumiya Chisato has been baptized by many beauties around him, and the lethality of beautiful women to him has been greatly weakened, but it is completely impossible for him to panic to this extent.

He calmly took the work card from the other person, and then leaned forward to take the fried chicken wings, once again widening the distance between them.

"It's just luck that I met some like-minded people, and then we naturally came together to get to where we are today. If I really want to summarize today's achievements, I think Sister Xingge and the four girls in the band have made greater contributions. After all, most of the time they are the ones who handle all the work, and most of the time I am just the boss."

"Are you being modest?"

"No, to be honest, I really don't think I did anything."

"You wrote the lyrics and composed the music for those hit songs that are now widely sung."

"kindness?"

"Don't play dumb, LGQL, these are clearly your initials, anyone who knows you can guess it without even thinking."

"Okay... But even so, I still feel that I can't work as hard as them. The company's development trend has been good recently, but the work is piling up. By the way, I have always wanted to increase Xingge's salary, but she said she would never accept it. Yangno and Hiratsuka, please help me persuade her."

Suzumiya Chisato suddenly dragged the other two into the topic. This was his little trick. He didn't want himself to be alone with Yukinoshita Haruno for a long time.

His purpose was also achieved.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Xingge with admiration.

"How can there be such a boss in the world who would take the initiative to increase the salary of his subordinates? You still don't accept it. What are you thinking?"

Ichichi Hoshige answered helplessly,

"How can I accept this? This guy is planning to quadruple my salary. How can I accept this? If other people in the company find out, they will think there is something fishy going on between him and me. How can I get along with them in the future?"

Chisato Suzumiya seemed indifferent.

"Just do your own thing and don't worry about what others say."

"Yes, yes, you are the president, and whatever you say is right, but as an employee I have the right to refuse salary changes without reasonable explanation."

"I told you that you work too hard."

“It’s a bit hard, but the current salary is enough and there’s no need to adjust it further.”

"Then I'll find you an assistant, so you can have a few more days off every month."

"You don't trust my ability."

"How could that be? I didn't mean that. Don't make assumptions..."

Suzumiya Chisato glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno.

Yang Nai smiled happily and shrugged, indicating that since the other party had said so much, there was nothing she could do.

Only one person was deeply shocked after hearing these conversations.

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath and covered her chest.

Money is secondary. She has a good family background. She owns an Aston Martin Vantage and a Toyota Land Cruiser, two luxury cars with a total value of more than 60 million yuan, so you know she will not be short of money for daily expenses.

What she lacked was a boss who cared so much about his subordinates.

Take a look at what my friend's work environment is like. The young and wealthy president tries every way to consider my friend's perspective, trying to increase her salary and find helpers for her just to let her rest more.

As for myself, I faced the Mediterranean-looking headmaster who smelled like an old man all day long. Every day, I was instructed by him to do some troublesome work. It was only natural that everything was completed smoothly, but if there was any slight mistake, I would be scolded if I was caught.

How does this compare?

Well, wait…

The resentment in Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart was quickly thrown to the back of her mind when she saw the smile on Ijichi Hoshika's face.

Some things hidden in the mist were gradually made clear to her.

If she was just guessing just now, now she felt that she seemed to be able to make a conclusion.

Just a few words from Suzumiya Chisato were enough to make Xingge, who was unhappy just now, change her mood so quickly and show the smile she has now.

How is this different from when she met a relatively satisfactory man at a blind date and smiled happily after talking to him for a few words?

Does Xingge really want to marry her president and spend the rest of her life with him?

Age, ethics...are these really not a problem?

"It's their turn to play."

Ijichi Hoshika looked towards the stage and announced this with pride.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno sat up straight and temporarily stopped her attack.

Chisato Suzumiya called the waiter, ordered a glass of juice for herself, and enjoyed the live performance of the closing band from a close distance for the first time in a long time.

Only Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't calm down. Her eyes kept secretly switching back and forth between Suzumiya Chisato and Ijichi Hoshika, letting those indescribable emotions run wild in her mind.

…………

Chapter 114 Yes, yes, yes! I am just unsatisfied

The four of them sat on one side facing the stage at the same time, and when they saw the band come on stage at the end, they all clapped loudly.

Kita Ikuyo, the lead singer, was very confident and after a few words with the host, she bent down towards the audience and began to perform the first song.

"Seeing them, I seem to have gone back many years and saw you back then."

Hiratsuka Shizuka approached Ijichi Hoshika, who had a proud smile on her face, and spoke to her unexpectedly.

Ichichi Xingge glanced at her.

"Why did you suddenly think of that? It's not like your character."

"Everyone has moments of reminiscing about the past. Anyway, when you formed a band, you were very popular among the other boys in the school."

"Oh, yes."

Ichichi Xingge was not interested in such topics, but since it was brought up by a friend, she had to respond.

However, her response was somewhat half-hearted. While replying, she took out her cell phone and recorded the performance on the stage.

Shizuka Hiratsuka saw that she was not paying attention and there was nothing she could do. However, in order to confirm whether her guess was correct, she continued to speak patiently.

"At that time, quite a few male classmates asked me to pass you love letters. Do you remember?"

"..."

Ijichi Hoshige was still holding her phone and facing the stage, but she turned her head and looked at her friend with some confusion.

"Ah Jing, you look a little strange, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little flustered, but she tried to act as natural as possible.

"No, I just think that compared to me as a teacher, you are the owner of the exhibition hall before, and now you are also an agent. You should meet a lot of men in your daily work."

“Oh~——”

Ichichi Hoshige felt that she understood. She chuckled. The performance on the stage had been filmed. She put away her phone and began to seriously reply to her friends.

"You want me to help you. If I see any good men, I will introduce them to you, right?"

"Um...if it's possible, that would be best, but that's not what I mean."

"?"

"I want to say, you have been very popular since you were a student, how come after all these years, I have never seen any signs of men around you? It should be true that there is no man, and you are not hiding it from me."

"Why are you suddenly so concerned about my private life?"

"It's not okay to worry about your best friend! Just answer my questions!"

"You all know it, it was because of my mother when I was a student. My father was busy with work, and Hongxia was just a little kid who needed someone to take care of her. How could I have thought about that?"

"What about the past few years? Mingming Hongxia has become sensible and has started to take care of your daily life."

"If I have to say, I probably don't have that awareness."

"Oh?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared at her friend's expression.

"You don't plan to get married in this life?"

Ichichi Hoshika scratched her face in distress.

"That's too absolute, but I won't take any action until I meet the right person."

"..."

"Why, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly making such an expression as if you were interrogating a criminal? I'm not your student."

Ijichi Hoshika felt a little guilty when being stared at by Hiratsuka Shizuka with a burning gaze.

"I don't know what to say to you."

Shizuka Hiratsuka withdrew her gaze, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth. When she touched her pocket to light it, she suddenly realized that her lighter had just been confiscated by Yang No. She put the cigarette back into the cigarette box in frustration.

"You still smoke now?"

"I've given it up a long time ago. You should give it up as well. This stuff is really bad for your health."

"When I find true love and get married, I will stop using it when I officially start trying to have a baby. Now it's the only thing that can keep me company during the long, lonely nights."

"...Honestly, don't mention marriage and having children so often when you go on blind dates. Even if there are good men, they will be scared away by you. You hold too much resentment."

"Of course I know this, but every time I..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka complained.

That's not right. I was just testing Xingge's true thoughts. How come she is now advising me to reflect on myself?

"Besides that, have you never met a man who made you feel anything in these years?"

"There are no men who have feelings for me...
