After saying this, the man in the suit hurried away, leaving Lucy still angry.
Zhe came to her side and Lucy reacted immediately.
"Asshole—oh, it's Zhe. I thought it was that guy again, and I barely managed to swing the whip."
"What happened?"
Zhe's appearance eased Lucy's anger a lot.
"Speaking of which, I'm also responsible for this. I should never have helped Bernice sell a batch of specially blended fuel to a subsidiary of the Montef Group.
I just want to generate income for the son of Calydon, and I have no intention of returning home... But my father... Zhe, you have to be careful of him, he is a man who likes to push his nose and face, and he is very difficult to deal with. "
Lucy reminded him, and then seemed to think of something.
"It just so happens that my father also sent a Bomb to represent the Montev Group in this Bomb competition. I just ran into that idiotic subordinate of my father's. It's my bad luck that he got entangled with me.
No matter what he says, I won't go back! This time he lets me go home for dinner, next time he should let me inherit the consortium! Then there will be social dances, political meetings..."
Well, my father seems to approve of Zhe, so a marriage is probably impossible. But even so, there are other troubles.
"Is Lucy homesick?"
"Huh? What's the problem?"
Lucy looked puzzled by Zhe's words.
"I don't miss the constraints of my past life at all. ... But my mother and my father... their concern for me wasn't just out of self-interest, perhaps...
It's also out of family affection. If I can help it, I don't want to make them too sad."
"What does Lucy want to do?"
"Yeah. How do you do that?"
Lucy reached out and touched the helmet, and soon she had an idea.
"Zhe, I have an idea. Please stay with me for a moment. I want to discuss the feasibility of this idea with Billy's boss."
"Nicole?"
Zhe was a little surprised, but did not refuse. The three of them met soon and told Nicole what had happened.
"I see. Lucy's in this situation. She doesn't want to just go home as ordered, but she also wants to show her care for her family on this rare day of ancestry..."
Why, Lucy's heart is more considerate than her whip."
"Perhaps I just want to avoid trouble."
Unwilling to fully acknowledge Nicole's words, Lucy gave an ambiguous response, which Nicole didn't take seriously.
"You just said that your father also sent Bomb to compete. Is there any special reason why Mr. Montev did this?"
"As expected of Nicole, our perspectives are quite similar. That's right. That man wouldn't make any unnecessary movements. He didn't send Bomb to the competition for entertainment.
It's not about the bonus, it's just... publicity. Promoting a new resort hotel brand established by their Montef Group."
Lucy said in a firm tone that as a daughter, how could she not understand her father's character?
"I've been keeping an eye on the competition. [Montef Canary] hasn't been eliminated yet... but it's in serious danger."
"Tsk, can you say I'm not surprised at all? That stupid Bomb is wearing old-fashioned accessories in the consortium's representative colors. It's absolutely impossible to arouse the audience's longing for vacation."
"Sounds like I need a vacation-inspired set of accessories..."
Zhe inserted himself into the two of them at a very opportune moment, but Lucy was somewhat dissatisfied with this.
"Zhe! That's my line! But it seems like the three of us are on the same page."
Then Lucy looked at Nicole beside her.
"That's what we've come to discuss with you. Can you help us get the right materials? From what I've seen, the market is quite hot during the tournament.
I'm prepared to pay a premium. If someone has to make the money, I want it to be you."
After all, Sijiaowuru is one of us. If there is a real need in the future, we can unite with Nicole and her subordinates Ambi and Nekomata.
This not only helped Lucy convey her thoughts to her family without going home, but also solved Nicole's problem of prepaying bills.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Chapter 366: Dinner on Takujinri
"This is a perfect plan for both Lucy and me to achieve a win-win situation! Zhe, don't you agree?"
"Yeah, but you seem to have left me out."
"... Can you please not show that unbearable expression? Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhe said no more, but as Lucy said, the market is hot recently and high-quality accessories are in short supply.
But it didn't matter. Zhe went ahead and bought materials from those eliminated Bombs, and the result went very smoothly. Nicole even wondered why they were willing to give the materials to Zhe.
It's obvious that as soon as I get close to those little things, they will run away with a "hmm hmm" sound.
In short, the materials have been collected and sent to [Turbine] in the same city along with the blueprints. Now all we have to do is wait for Billy to bring the finished parts over.
"Rainbow, starry sky, beach, waves. Wow. I always feel like this kind of holiday style would suit me very well.
If I were Bombu and wore this set of accessories to a beauty pageant... God, I can't imagine what kind of reward the eyes of the citizens of New Eridu would receive."
Nicole seemed to be lost in fantasy as she spoke, and Zhe nodded in approval of the outfit.
"In that case, why don't you try it on for me?"
"Hmph, let's talk about it when I have some spare money to order it. Or do you want to buy it for me?"
"It's not impossible."
"Huh? Are you serious?"
Nicole was a little surprised, but she didn't know that Zhe's New Year's plan also included giving gifts to everyone.
Because of the tight time schedule and the large number of people, it would definitely be too late if we had to do it manually.
Anyway, the system has increased the exchange rate now, and more funds can be used, so gifts must be arranged. They don’t have to be expensive, but they must satisfy the other party.
"Ahem, okay~ let's not talk about this for now, let's go get this set of accessories to Lucy."
Nicole waved her hands, trying her best to hide her happiness. She was surprisingly thin-skinned in such matters.
Zhe didn't say much. After putting this matter on the agenda, he found Lucy and handed the things to her.
"So quick? You guys are really reliable."
Lucy said as she casually handed the thing to the man in a suit beside her, who picked it up solemnly and took it.
"Thank you so much for your help! [Montev Canary] will be even more powerful with this set of accessories! Mr. and Mrs. Lucy will be very pleased to know that Miss Lucy has taken such great care of it!"
"Hmph, it's just a piece of cake."
Having said that, the corners of Lucy's mouth slightly raised, and she seemed very happy. Seeing this, the man in the suit spoke again.
"Are you really not going home for dinner?"
"I'm so annoyed. It's just a meal, why are you making such a fuss?"
The man in the suit brought up the topic again, and Lucy seemed a little impatient, but the man did not give up.
"This is more than just a meal! Mr. and Mrs. have been worried about you being alone outside with no one to take care of you... You know that.
Mr. Montef specifically instructed me to emphasize to you the significance of this meal - seeing you and your partner become together is Mr. and Mrs.'s greatest wish.
After all, the so-called Gold Expansion Day is meant to be perfect and complete..."
When the man in the suit said this, Lucy's cheeks seemed to turn red with anger, and her clenched fists trembled slightly, as if she was about to explode at any moment.
Just then, Zhe stepped forward and held her hand.
"If Lucy wants to go, I can come with you."
"Thank you, Zhe, but... don't be fooled by this guy's sweet talk! As I expected, they don't want to see their daughter.
They just want to trick me back home, take you with me, and then do everything they can to tie up the heir of the Montef Group... That's their plan, right?"
Lucy looked at the man in the suit fiercely, and the latter was instantly startled, and even his voice began to tremble.
"Miss... pity the love of parents in the world..."
Before she could finish her words, Lucy snatched back the Bomb accessories that she had originally given to the man in the suit.
"Shut up! It seems you've forgotten the feeling of a whip. I was such a fool to think that fellow could understand me. I should have known my father was just that kind of man."
Lucy was angry but not disappointed, as if she had expected this result.
"...Zhe"
"what?"
"Take this Bomb Accessory Set, and I want to see just one thing—Isis wearing it and beating up [Montef Canary]."
You won't let me down, right? Unlike my family, you never let me down..."
After saying these words, Lucy turned and left, and the man in the suit followed her in a panic...
Then Nicole, who was watching from a distance, came over. She didn't expect it to turn into such a farce. These billionaire heirs' family affairs~ (sigh)
Carrying Lucy's expectations, Ies lived up to his mission and successfully defeated [Montef Canary].
"Very good, I was right about you!"
Lucy was very satisfied with the result of the game and really got rid of her anger.
"As long as Lucy is happy."
"Hmph, you only know how to say nice things. By the way, do you have any plans for Takujin Day? If not, you can come to the Outer Ring to spend it with us. Call Ling."
Lucy pretended to invite him casually, but she must have really taken him seriously, so Zhe didn't refuse.
"Okay, it's settled. I'm going back to make preparations!"
……
In the free time after the game, Zhe suddenly received a call from Zhu Yuan. Seeing this, Ling took Ies back first.
I learned from the phone call that Zhu Yuan couldn't contact Qingyi. Considering that the latter was on vacation, he wondered if he had gone to Zhe's place.
Not long after, the two met at the door of the Public Security Bureau. It happened that the guy who was designing the technological-style Bomb exterior wanted to find a Qingyi consultant, so they helped each other find one.
Although I have come into contact with it many times, it is still better to design based on the real object.
"I see. Then perhaps I can help. After all, I've carefully read the operating manuals of Senior. There are many functions that even Senior himself doesn't know and has to ask me."
"Oh? Yeah, I almost forgot."
Both of them have different levels of understanding of Qingyi in various aspects, and discussing it together may give them just as much inspiration as referring to Qingyi.
As he was speaking, Benjamin from the Public Security Bureau suddenly came over, dragging a heavy box. After handing the box to Zhu Yuan, Benjamin held his waist and left...
"Benjamin said it was [a fox-like person with very long ears] who specifically asked to give it to me. He came and went like the wind, and he didn't even get a clear look at his face... But based on this description, it should be Ya."
"Well, I guess so. But what's in the box? Let's open it and see."
Chapter 367: On the verge of cheating, but turning back for love?
"Well, if it's a matter of handing over to the Air Department, she should come in to see me. Could it be... a gift for me?"
[That Miyabi actually gave me a gift!]
It can be seen that Zhu Yuan was a little happy. She couldn't wait to open the box - it seemed that she used too much force, the lid popped open, and a hand stretched out from it...!
The two were shocked at the sight, but Zhe quickly reacted, seeing the slender fingers, the white skin, and the small, perfect hand shape.
"It's Qing Yi, but why is it weird?"
After realizing who was in the box, Zhe also understood why the man was so tired from dragging the box. After all, not everyone has been strengthened like him.
I touched his face but there was no response, so I reached out and touched his chest, but there was no movement, so it seemed like it hadn't started.
"It's... Senior Qingyi's body... but it's unconscious... there's no signal at all. How could this happen?
"This box was sent by Ya, right? What on earth is going on... If Senior Qingyi was murdered... why would she just casually send this box to the Public Security Bureau and leave?"
Seeing the sudden situation, Zhu Yuan was a little out of control. Seeing this, Zhe hurriedly patted her shoulder to comfort her.
