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

"Me?" Nagasaki Asuna paused for a moment. "It seems so, but it's nothing much, just managing accounts and selecting people?"

“These two things are not simple. If you don’t do them well, Shen Xi will not choose you, especially since you two don’t get along. I heard Xiao Shuang say that’s the case, right?” Lin Xuanqi changed her sitting position and picked up a slice of Wagyu beef that the chef had grilled and chewed it slowly.

"Shen Xi and I... have we barely reconciled now?" Nagasaki Asuna also tasted the salt-grilled matsutake mushroom.

Lin Xuanqi laughed, "I know Shen Xi's temper best. If she doesn't like someone, it's one thing for her to get along with you when it comes to doing serious business, but it's another thing for her to hold a grudge against you for life."

“That’s definitely the feeling. By the way, why does Lin seem to know so much about her?” Nagasaki Asuna asked, her expression seemingly innocent curiosity.

“I’ve known her since we were little, but let’s not go into that.” Lin Xuanqi pouted. “In short, you’re quite extraordinary, so I asked you to come and have a chat.”

"I didn't expect Lin-kun to think so highly of me. It's truly an honor," Nagasaki Asuna thought for a moment and smiled.

"There are too many useless people in this world who are just pretending to be something they're not, and too few people like us." Lin Xuanqi pointed at the other person and herself with her chopsticks.

"Although I think everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, I really want to be friends with Lin-kun?" Nagasaki Asuna continued to smile at her.

Lin Xuanqi smiled and raised her glass to her, "I also think we're good friends, so cheers?"

Nagasaki Asuna nodded, picked up her teacup, and drank it.

The two had lunch in this atmosphere, chatting casually until the chef finished cooking all the ingredients and left, leaving them alone.

"By the way, I also wanted to ask about Shen Xi at the hot spring hotel that day, what exactly happened?" Lin Xuanqi changed the subject.

"What happened that day?" Nagasaki Asuna asked, her expression of confusion revealing no clue as she looked on in the past.

"She was acting strange that day, like she was trying to stop me from leaving, didn't you know?" Lin Xuanqi saw her own suspicious reflection in her bright eyes.

Nagasaki Asuna shook her head seriously, "I don't know. I originally wanted to talk to Cheng Fei and Shen Xi about company matters that day, but I couldn't find Cheng Fei first, and then I ran into you guys having tea."

Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered, and she said casually, "Then why are you asking me to go to the hot spring to find Cheng Fei?"

"It's inconvenient for me to go, so only Lin-kun can go?" Nagasaki Asuna said matter-of-factly.

"So that's how it is." Lin Xuanqi nodded knowingly, pondering for a moment, then suddenly said, "By the way, do you know where Xiaoshuang went that night? I haven't seen her at all."

"It seems Ye Shuang went to bed quite early. She said she was a little tired when we were eating hot pot outside," Nagasaki Asuna answered quickly, then looked at her, "Why is Lin asking about this?"

"Just asking, and she did mention it to me the next day." Lin Xuanqi picked up her wine glass and took a sip.

Nagasaki Asuna nodded with interest, "Lin-san and Ye Shuang are really close, aren't they? I often hear her talking about you."

“Xiao Shuang and I have known each other since we were little.” Lin Xuanqi rested her chin on her hand as if recalling something. “Unlike Shen Xi, we have always had a very good relationship.”

Nagasaki Asuna stared intently at her expression, then nodded as if sensing something, "It's clear that Lin cares a lot about Ye Shuang."

“Xiao Shuang is very skilled, which is perfect for protecting me. Besides, she’s not scheming at all and is always very honest, so I don’t blame her even if she makes a mistake occasionally.” Lin Xuanqi raised her eyes, her tone nonchalant. “She often talks about you to me; she seems to really like you.”

"Do you like it? It's alright. Maybe we just get along well, just like how I get along well with Lin." Nagasaki Asuna smiled sweetly.

"That's good. She usually tells me when something comes up. If you need anything, feel free to ask me. I never mistreat my friends." Lin Xuanqi nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you~ I don't need anything right now, but I won't hesitate to ask if I do in the future," Nagasaki Asuna replied sweetly.

After some time, the two finished their lunch.

"By the way, you currently own 25% of RealTech's shares, right? If you're willing, you can transfer 5% to me. I'll give you that amount, how about it?" Lin Xuanqi shook her matcha and suddenly held up three fingers.

"Three million?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Thirty million." The arrogant girl smiled slightly, her tone casual.

Asuna Nagasaki widened her eyes slightly. "Five percent isn't worth that much, is it? Even if we value it based on the amount Lin gave us... five percent is at most twenty million."

"Once the prototype is successfully developed, the next round of financing is only a matter of time, and RealTech's valuation will naturally rise accordingly." Lin Xuanqi crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyebrows exuding a confident and smug air.

“But it wouldn’t be reasonable to make this deal now, since it’s an unnecessary risk.” Nagasaki Asuna frowned slightly as she pondered, then realized something and looked at her, “Lin-san, is it because…you want to give me money?”

"You don't have much cash on hand, do you?" Lin Xuanqi looked at her, her smile unchanged. "Shen Xi doesn't need money, and Cheng Fei has money too. Only you have nothing right now. How about you take out five percent of your shares and cash them out?"

"Well," Nagasaki Asuna looked conflicted, "could I think about it when I get back?"

“No problem. You should really think it over. Before RealTech reaches its next round of funding, you can contact me anytime you've made up your mind.” Lin Xuanqi nodded without hesitation, then stood up. “I have something to do this afternoon. Should I send a car to take you home?”

"No need, I can just take a taxi myself." Nagasaki Asuna quickly shook her head.

A moment later, under Lin Xuanqi's watchful gaze, the sweet girl left the manor alone.

Lin Xuanqi returned to the restaurant and sat down, her eyes flickering as she fell into deep thought.

Her intuition told her she could invest in real technology, and Asuna Nagasaki was worth courting, but...

"Xiao Shuang, what are you hiding from me?" The girl pinched her brow and let out a soft sigh.

Let's rewind a little.

On a secluded road some distance from Lin Xuanqi's manor, a black Mercedes-Benz GLS was parked by the roadside.

"In Sakura, if we only consider individual ability, who do you think is number one...?"

"At least in my eyes, it's you..."

The conversation was clear and audible from the phone.

Using the Eye of Truth, Cheng Fei directly listened to Nagasaki Asuna's conversation on her phone.

The boy listened to the comments on the other end of the line, and couldn't help but laugh out loud while eating his takeout fried chicken.

Lin Xuanqi, you are as self-righteous as ever.

At that moment, a taxi stopped on the side of the road opposite the GLS. A girl with twin ponytails dressed in an elegant sailor uniform got out of the car, glanced around to make sure there were no extra people nearby, and then quickly walked to the GLS, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"Good afternoon, Master Ye. Have you eaten yet?" Cheng Fei took a taro pie out of the box and handed it to her.

"I've already eaten." Ye Shuang accepted the food the boy offered, her brow furrowed with unease. "Where's Nana?"

"Don't worry, I'm having a chat with Director Lin over plum wine." Cheng Fei pointed to the phone that was still transmitting a conversation.

"What plum wine?" The obedient girl's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lin Xuanqi's voice, and she pursed her lips absentmindedly.

"Master Ye, haven't you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Cao Cao chatted with Liu Bei and said that the two of them were the real heroes." The boy said casually, crunching away at the chicken wing.

"So Miss didn't do anything to Nana, right?" Ye Shuang asked with a worried expression.

She had been worried about this since last night, and rushed over as soon as she received the news from the boy.

"Don't worry, she's just trying to win Nana over." Cheng Fei took another sip of his cola.

Fortunately, Lin Xuanqi didn't consider Nagasaki Asuna an enemy, so he didn't have to hurt Lin Xuanqi and make the twin-tailed girl next to him cry.

"That's good." The obedient girl nodded, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and sat upright with her back straight and her legs, encased in white over-the-knee socks, together, with a dignified and proper demeanor. She picked up the taro pie with both hands, lowered her head, took a bite, and noticed the boy's interested gaze beside her.

"You jerk, stop staring at me." The girl glared at him, then looked away with a strange sense of guilt.

"My Master Ye is just too adorable. Looking at all the beautiful girls in the world, only Teacher Shen, Master Ye, and Nana are in a class of their own." The boy sighed seriously, as if he were discussing the general trend of the world.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" The innocent goddess's expression turned panicked in an instant, and she stomped her foot with the taro pie in her hands in a nonchalant manner.

The two ate takeout in the car (Ye Shuang mainly ate the desserts) while listening to the conversation on the other side.

“Master Ye, Xuanqi is indeed suspicious of you.” Cheng Fei smacked his lips.

“I know…” The obedient girl looked down at the egg tart in her hand, which had been bitten off a third of the way, her eyes slightly red and her voice becoming softer.

"Don't cry, little crybaby." The boy patted her head with his palm. "Even though she suspects you, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry to do anything to you?"

"I told you long ago that Miss is very gentle and she won't do anything to me, but she will be sad..." Ye Shuang's eyes reddened even more, and she bit her pink lips tightly.

"It's okay to be sad, just relax." The boy shook his head nonchalantly.

After a while, a second taxi arrived on this secluded road. Nagasaki Asuna got out and then got back in, sitting in the back seat of the GLS.

"Nana, you didn't even agree to this great opportunity to cash out 30 million?" Cheng Fei turned to look at her, his expression one of genuine surprise.

“Cats have owners who take care of them, so they don’t need that much money.” The sweet girl shook her head, her soft voice sounding perfectly natural.

845. Lin Xuanqi loves Cheng Fei even more.

"As long as Nana is alright, that's all that matters." Ye Shuang clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at her expression from the back seat, Nagasaki Asuna suddenly cheered, "Shuangshuang cares about me so much, hehehe~"

"Here, this is for you." Cheng Fei took the last egg tart from the takeout box and handed it to the back. "Or are you already full? Her meal must have been good, right?"

Based on their conversation alone, it's impossible to know what the two ate, but it's easy to guess that since Lin Xuanqi had tried to win over Nagasaki Asuna, she must have made special arrangements.

"Thank you, Master~ No matter how good Lin's food is, it can't compare to what you give me, Master." Nagasaki Asuna replied sweetly, her obedient tone even sweeter than the dessert.

Cheng Fei could only shake his head and sigh at this.

Ye Shuang's eyes darted around, and she lowered her head, pretending not to have heard anything.

"Since everything's alright, we can retreat now. What are your plans next, Master Ye?" Cheng Fei clapped his hands and started the engine.

"I..." The obedient girl placed her small hands together on her private area and whispered, "Just take me back."

"How about Shuangshuang and I go to Cheng Fei's place? We can fight amongst ourselves!" Nagasaki Asuna poked her head out from the back seat.

"Internal strife...?" Ye Shuang blinked, a look of confusion first appearing on her beautiful face, then thoughtful, before glaring at her as if pricked by a needle, "Nana, what nonsense are you spouting again!"

"Hey, Shuangshuang, don't you want to? With three people, we can have a lot of new ways to play." Nagasaki Asuna tapped her chin with her fingertip, deep in thought.

Ye Shuang seemed to realize something, her expression became even more panicked, she stared intently at her absolute territory, her small hands twisting together.

The young man driving gave Nagasaki Asuna's head, which was leaning out of the front seat, a light tap. "That's enough. Master Ye won't be able to take it anymore."

"Ugh...!" The sweet girl covered her forehead and let out a serious cry of pain, protesting, "Cheng Fei is going too far now. He's forgotten his old love with a new one. It's one thing to leave Nana in the back row, but he's also committing domestic violence!"

"Who was it that said they liked being a victim of domestic violence?" The boy remained unmoved, glancing at her in the rearview mirror.

"Nana isn't talking about this kind of domestic violence!" Nagasaki Asuna puffed out one cheek, staring at him with a serious, resentful look.

The obedient girl in the passenger seat looked left and right, feeling lost and almost wanting to jump out of the car on the spot.

"Also, please fasten your seatbelt." Cheng Fei pointed to the sweet girl in the rearview mirror who was leaning forward.

"Anyway, Cheng Fei will protect me." Nagasaki Asuna snorted and turned her face away, continuing to puff out one cheek.

"Pinch your face down, that's an order," the boy said again.

"..." The girl in the back seat was silent for a second, then obediently pinched her own face, looking even more resentful, "What an awful owner, he's bullying the cat more and more."

Only by observing closely can one find a hint of joy in the curve of her lips.

Cheng Fei casually looked to the other side and said, "Master Ye, why don't we go to tutoring together today?"

"I don't want to! Take me back right now!" The obedient girl was getting a little anxious.

The boy opened his mouth, about to say something, when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it, stopped the car, and answered the call, "Good afternoon, dear Xuanqi..."

Ye Shuang's expression changed as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

"I'm on my way to the company..."

"Okay, I'll be right there..."

Soon, Cheng Fei hung up the phone and clicked his tongue under the two girls' different gazes. "Tutoring is canceled. She's going to do research at Real Technology."

"Hurry up and go!" Ye Shuang said hurriedly.

"Then I have to take you two with me first, and let her wait." The boy said nonchalantly.

So, Cheng Fei first took Ye Shuang home, then returned to Guang'an Street, said goodbye to Nagasaki Asuna, and drove his Panamera at full speed to Lin Xuanqi's manor.

……

At the entrance of the palatial villa, a young girl with an air of arrogance and haughtiness crossed her arms and had a lollipop in her mouth.

A silver sports car slowly pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, and a handsome young man with one hand on the steering wheel raised his chin to her. "Wife, get in the car."

"Who are you? Get lost." The girl gave a deliberately coquettish snort and turned her face away.

"Fine, don't bother," the boy said, rolling up the car window as the girl stared in astonishment.

The Panamera drove forward, slowly circled the open space in front of the villa, and then drove back to its original position without missing a beat. The window rolled down, revealing a young man's smiling, somewhat smug face.

"You're crazy." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes, opened the car door, and climbed into the passenger seat.

The Panamera drove onto the road leading to the Silver Ring.
