I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"Okay." The boy nodded and shut his mouth.

"So what did Cheng Fei do to her?" Nagasaki Asuna asked curiously.

"Nana, there are some things you shouldn't ask too many questions about." The boy glanced cautiously at the rearview mirror.

"Some people are too guilty to ask too many questions," Shen Xi sneered.

640. Sun Ling's goal is to become a true tech parasite.

"Teacher Shen, being guilty is a bit of an exaggeration. I didn't do anything wrong." Cheng Fei said as he drove.

"If nothing really happened, there's no need to hide it," Shen Xi scoffed.

"I just didn't want you to get upset unnecessarily."

"Assuming I would get angry if I knew is itself a sign of a guilty conscience." Shen Xi narrowed her eyes.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna looked left and right.

Cheng Fei smacked his lips and raised one hand in surrender. "I was wrong. I actually tried to hide it from Her Majesty the Empress. I will report the situation to Her Majesty the Empress now. In short, I met with Ye Shuang this morning, and our relationship is almost on track. I even brought her back to the club at noon."

Shen Xi's eyes flickered.

"What exactly does 'getting back on track' mean?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

"Let's start a proper relationship again, beginning as friends."

The air in the car was silent for a second.

"Huh? I knew it." Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

"Cheng Fei, how romantic!" Shen Xi sneered.

"Cheng Fei, how romantic!" Nagasaki Asuna mimicked the former's tone.

"Gentlemen, this was all agreed upon beforehand, so please don't attack me now, okay?" the boy said helplessly.

"Heh, that makes sense. Some people can now legitimately have three relationships at once. They're really enjoying themselves." Shen Xi made no attempt to hide her sarcasm.

"Well, agreeing before is one thing, but actually doing it is another. Cheng Fei has never had a proper relationship with me." Nagasaki Asuna put her hand to her chest and puffed out one cheek in a deliberately resentful manner.

"Classmate, do you have even a tenth of Ye Shuang's reserve? Have you ever had any normal thoughts about dating?" Cheng Fei glanced at her.

Nagasaki Asuna thought about it seriously for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of smugness in her voice, "That seems to be true, after all, Cheng Fei and I already consummated our marriage last year, hehehe~"

“Last year…” Shen Xi hesitated for a moment, her eyes narrowed, and her voice turned cold, “Cheng Fei, please explain clearly.”

"Shen Xi, that's just her rounding off, don't take it seriously." The young man's expression turned serious.

The chill vanished instantly.

"Shameless vixen." Shen Xi took a deep breath, pinched her brow, and after a moment of silence, gritted her teeth. "But I still didn't expect Cheng Feiyu to be so efficient. It seems she was full of confidence from the very beginning."

"Teacher Shen, I could have done it long ago but I didn't. Isn't that proof of my unwavering devotion to your classmate Nana? Please realize how much I value both of you." The boy said earnestly.

“Cheng Fei, classmate…” Nagasaki Asuna narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the boy’s profile, her eyes brimming with tender affection, and an irrepressible smile curved her lips.

"Could it be that Cheng Feiyu, like the fox spirit, doesn't actually speak Chinese as her native language?" Shen Xi suddenly revealed a genuine look of surprise.

"Teacher Shen, if you're not moved, fine, but why are you suddenly thinking about all sorts of random things?" the boy asked in surprise.

"To bring a vixen along and still talk about being devoted is utterly shameless." Shen Xi emphasized the word "devoted" with particular disdain.

"Whatever happens, Teacher Shen, you understand what I mean." Cheng Fei stopped at the traffic light and put his hands together.

"So, does that mean we can turn Ye Shuang into an apostle next?" Nagasaki Asuna's lips curled into a new smile, as if she had thought of something interesting.

“If Her Majesty has no objection, it can be put on the agenda.” The boy glanced back cautiously.

"Heh, Cheng Feiyu, all you've got to do is pretend." Shen Xi turned her face away and looked out the window.

"Understood, I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible. Luckily, there's a teleportation station in Riften, so I'll get her on the ship sooner." Cheng Fei nodded.

"Great! Finally, Ye Shuang can join me! Hehehe~" Nagasaki Asuna exclaimed happily.

……

Meanwhile, at Silver Ring, the headquarters of Real Technology Co., Ltd.

The office, which is under renovation, is mostly in a mess. The decorating company is pushing forward with the renovation work, and unopened materials and furniture are piled up everywhere.

Sun Ling, who had been busy with responses all day, threw herself onto the brand-new bright yellow sofa and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"I'm a top student in the academy's finance department, and they're making me do odd jobs all day long? That's too much! I don't want to be a beast of burden..."

But then I thought about it again, and the internship salary at Real Tech is quite good, so I figured I might as well accept it.

Just then, her phone beeped with a notification sound. She picked it up and saw that it was a command from the Eye of Truth.

"Ms. Sun Ling, your last task for today is to handle interviews. The relevant personnel are expected to arrive in thirty minutes. You can leave after the interviews are completed."

"I almost forgot about that."

Sun Ling jumped up from the sofa and ran to the specially prepared interview room to prepare for the reception.

Over the past few days, she has almost gotten used to the work rhythm directed by this application called Eye of Truth.

The Eye of Truth not only assigns her tasks but also checks and provides feedback. At first, she thought someone was in charge behind her, until she discovered that the Eye of Truth even planned her rest and meal times and adjusted them in real time according to the situation, filling her day to the brim. It was as if the Eye of Truth was controlling her like a puppet on a string, which made her realize how terrifying it was.

No company would assign someone to supervise every single detail of an employee's work, right? It's simply unthinkable.

The Eye of Truth is not a person, but a so-called high-performance AI, that was the answer she received after asking.

But does such a powerful AI exist in this world? I've never even heard of it.

She realized she seemed to have joined a company that wasn't right, but after recalling her salary and benefits, she decided to pretend she knew nothing.

She's a seasoned working woman; as long as the money is right, everything is negotiable.

Moreover, the tasks assigned by the Eye of Truth are even more humane than those of ordinary superiors. They take into full account the workload of each task and allocate time accordingly. So far, there have been no inhumane situations, so although she is quite tired every day, it is still acceptable.

With this in mind, whatever earth-shattering secrets the company might have are irrelevant to her now. Her most important task is to get through the internship and officially become a parasite on real technology.

Even with the Eye of Truth, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to become a parasite...

Amidst all sorts of random thoughts, Sun Ling arranged for the job applicants to wait in the waiting area.

Half an hour later, the company leaders stepped through the gate on time.

In addition to Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna, there was also a cold and aloof girl with thick black hair reaching her waist and an icy aura emanating from her entire body.

"Sister Ling, this is President Shen Xi, my boss," Cheng Fei said to Sun Ling in a serious, low voice.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." Sun Ling nodded quickly.

Shen Xi glanced at her, her face cold and silent.

This made Sun Ling even more certain that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.

"President Shen is rather aloof, you'll get used to it," Cheng Fei said calmly.

……

641. Ye Shuang could not resist.

The interview proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

To improve efficiency, Cheng Fei made some structured improvements to the previous chat-style interviews, essentially dividing the interviews into two stages.

The first stage is overseen by Asuna Nagasaki, who observes the interviewees' personality, credibility, and teamwork skills. Those who pass the first stage proceed to the second stage, where Cheng Fei assesses their professional level and technical abilities.

Shen Xi found a comfortable corner outside and read a book throughout the entire process, while the interviewees, guided by Sun Ling, conducted the interviews in stages like products on an assembly line.

By the time the three of them left the company and started their journey home, it was already completely dark.

"Phew, so tired. Interviewing eight people in one go seems like too much. There's just not enough time. Maybe I should cut two tomorrow." Nagasaki Asuna leaned back in the back seat and rubbed her temples.

"It's too slow, it takes half an hour for one person." Shen Xi said impatiently.

"Teacher Shen, this is already the result of the two of us dividing the work. This is how time-consuming HR work is." Cheng Fei gripped the steering wheel.

"Why can't we just hire a human resources manager to handle this?"

"Teacher Shen, if Real Technology were to appoint a human resources director, it could only be Nana, since her mind-reading ability makes her the perfect candidate," the boy said helplessly.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.

"He's both the CFO and the HR director. They really entrust this vixen with important responsibilities. I wonder how long this kind of nepotistic company can last," Shen Xi scoffed.

“Not at all, Professor Shen. This is based on merit, but at this stage we can indeed hire another HR assistant.” Cheng Fei rubbed his chin.

"So we need to interview even more people, right?" Nagasaki Asuna asked wearily.

"Nana, thank you for your hard work. Teacher Shen and I will fully support your work."

"Okay~" the girl said in a soft, obedient tone.

"Don't drag me into this when you're trying to woo that vixen," Shen Xi said, turning her face away with obvious disgust.

The three returned to Guang'an Street, filled their stomachs at a familiar dim sum restaurant, and then parted ways. Urged by Shen Xi, they went online to continue their work in another world.

As night deepened, Cheng Fei removed his helmet and sent a message to Ye Shuang.

"Master Ye, are you asleep?"

……

The girl lay in bed, staring unblinkingly at the dark ceiling, her hands pressed against her chest, feeling the rhythmic beating of her heart, her beautiful face lost in thought.

"Let's start over as friends, and date openly and honestly. I'll make sure you willingly agree to be with me..."

The boy's resounding words echoed clearly in my ears.

That shameless scumbag who's cheating on her with several women actually has the nerve to call himself upright? He's just bullying her, what does he take her for...?

But why can't I refuse?

The girl sniffed, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

What is she doing now? She didn't expect this, but after the other person said just a few words to her, she completely lost her resistance.

The moment the other person opens their mouth, it's like drinking an ice-cold citrus soda on a hot summer day. The instinctive comfort makes her forget everything else and just want to stay with them, no matter what they say or do.

I enjoy being stared at, I enjoy being pestered, I enjoy being forced to obey, I enjoy being teased with pineapple buns and glutinous rice balls, and I enjoy hearing them say "My Master Ye"...

An uncontrollable surge of emotion overwhelmed all my thoughts.

What will I say to her tomorrow?

What will they do to her the day after tomorrow?

She was coaxed and pampered with gentle words, yet forced to accept demands in a forceful and rude manner. There was no way to escape or avoid it; she could only accept her fate.

Just thinking about it gives her a suffocating sense of anticipation, leaving her with no choice but to let the other party manipulate her.

Miss, I'm sorry...

I really tried my best.

My phone on the pillow suddenly vibrated.

Without even realizing it, I opened the screen at lightning speed, and seeing the words on it made me feel even more excited.

"Master Ye, are you asleep?"

"……not yet"

What will he say to her this time?

What if... they suddenly call?

A strange mix of fear and anticipation made my heart race.

The moment the thought crossed the girl's mind, a call request popped up, and a smiling Shiba Inu avatar appeared in the center of the screen.

The girl rolled over, pressed the answer button, and held the phone to her ear, "Hello..."
