I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Chen Ya was even more confused: "Now? Isn't it important to talk about serious business?"

"We'll talk while we play. I just suddenly really wanted to play games."

It's so close, I can smell her fragrance in my nose.

"Alright then, let's play one game."

"And why are you still wearing those glasses?"

The girl grabbed his glasses and casually tossed them away somewhere, revealing Chen Ya's undeniably charming good looks.

Such good looks would make Liulizi jealous if others saw them. She cupped his face and gently rubbed it.

Only then did she suddenly remember that there was still a super bright light bulb in the room. She turned around and saw the bodyguard, showing a slightly surprised expression.

"Ah, Xiao Wu, what are you still doing here?"

The bodyguard's face flushed red as she said, "Miss, I should..."

Chen Ya patted Liulizi on the shoulder and asked, "Do you have any game cartridges?"

Ruriko frowned: "You didn't bring the cassette tape?"

"I'm in such a rush, who has time to buy game cartridges?"

Ruriko said with dissatisfaction, "How could someone of my status possibly keep something like game cartridges by my side? If I possessed something like that, it would give others grounds for criticism."

How could the princess of the Triangle Group possibly play video games, a commoner's form of entertainment? Even having game cartridges at home would be considered improper and would draw stares and whispers.

She turned to the poor bodyguard beside her and ordered:

"Xiao Wu, can you help me buy a set of Capcom game cartridges, the large size?"

The bodyguard's face flushed red: "I have never... bought it."

"Then just go to any store and buy it. If you get caught, just say it's for your own use."

It has to be said that when Ruriko adopts a superior attitude, she sometimes doesn't hesitate to sacrifice others.

Chen Ya shrugged: "Since we don't have any cassette tapes right now, let's get down to business."

Liulizi said, "What serious business are we talking about? Can't we play the games pre-loaded on the console without a cartridge first?"

Chen Ya's facial muscles twitched slightly: "This involves taking a risk."

"That's not true."

Liulizi turned her head and urged, "Xiaowu, hurry up."

"Ah... yes!"

As Yayoi Mai left, Ruriko had already taken out her game console and started untangling the tangled wires.

She quickly went out and closed the door. At the same time, she instructed the rest of the bodyguard team to be on guard and strictly prohibit anyone from approaching.

The dignified young lady of the Asai family is actually playing video games at the company! And pre-loaded games on a cartridge-less console!

She didn't even want to think about the consequences if this got out.

In order to preserve the Asai family's dignity, Mai Yayoi had no choice but to run out as fast as she could to complete the mission.

……

……

The next day, Yayoi Mai entered her mistress's room again; she was still asleep. The floor was littered with game cartridge boxes.

She carefully put on her gloves and collected all the trash on the ground into a dark garbage bag, leaving not a single hair behind.

She wouldn't feel at ease until she personally threw all of these into the incinerator.

Eliminating all traces and ensuring no leaks are made is also part of a bodyguard's job.

This job is really too hard.

"Keep your voice down. Don't wake him up."

"Hmm..." Yayoi Mai felt a pang of jealousy. She had never seen her mistress show such concern for anyone else.

"No need." The man opened his eyes. "I'm already awake."

Ruriko glanced at Yayoi Mai, and seeing the look in her mistress's eyes, Yayoi Mai wisely withdrew.

That's the look you give someone serious.

Feeling a bit dizzy from lack of sleep, Chen Ya yawned and said:

"So, what difficulties are you facing now?"

Liuli glared at him: "Why is it always difficult when you open your mouth? Do you think I'm weak?"

Chen Ya smiled as he looked at her in bed and said, "You're very strong, but with so much pressure building up, you must have encountered some difficulties."

Liulizi blushed, nudged him with her elbow, and then said:

"Then I'll be frank. You know the current situation, right? My grandfather, Asai Matsuya, has contracted an incurable disease and is probably not long for this world."

"His most important asset is more than 70% of the shares in the Triangle Group. It is unknown who will inherit this asset."

Chen Ya raised his eyebrows and said, "A company like the Triangle Group, if something goes wrong, could even shake the national economy. How come they didn't make a will in advance?"

The subsidiaries of the Triangle Group are involved in road and bridge construction, heavy industry, railway, communications, finance and other fields. Such a change in equity may only be a small announcement in the news industry, but the changes it brings will have a nationwide impact.

Liulizi said helplessly, "There are many factors involved, including Grandpa's personal will, internal family issues, and some historical legacies. In short, the problem remains unresolved."

“Now I have a question,” Chen Ya asked, “Is your grandfather still capable of drafting a will?”

Liuli shook her head: "I don't know. In fact, I haven't seen him even once since I returned to the country. I'm afraid he doesn't even know that I've returned."

Chen Ya exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? Is it true?"

“Of course,” Ruriko said, “Grandpa is currently being cared for by my legal grandmother—who is also my grandfather’s nominal wife—that is, Mrs. Asai, and she forbids anyone from seeing him.”

Chen Ya frowned: "What gives her the right?"

“Perhaps it’s because her father is Kazuo Tayama,” Ruriko sighed.

“Oh, I understand now,” Chen Ya said. “Another important figure.”

The name Kazuo Tayama is not familiar to most people, but Chen Ya is very familiar with it.

He was the leader of one of the three yakuza organizations that ordered his assassination.

He was not just a simple small-time boss; such people often have extensive connections and own a lot of assets in legitimate circles, operating legally and wielding considerable influence.

If someone like that doesn't want others to get close to Asai Matsuya, he has many ways to do so, and even Asai Ruriko can't overcome them.

Chen Ya said, "I have no intention of offending the old man's choice, but I must say that an old man marrying a woman so much younger than his wife, and with such a strong-willed woman, will bring a lot of trouble to his descendants."

Liulizi gave him a cold look: "How dare you talk about others like that?"

Chen Ya chuckled and changed the subject:

"If there is no will, who will inherit this estate according to the law?"

“According to the law, the 38-year-old Mrs. Asai, as the spouse, is the first in line to the throne,” Ruriko said, “and then my aunt.”

"What about you?"

“I can inherit by right of representation. But there is still a problem: if it is divided according to the right of inheritance, it may result in the Asai family not holding the largest share, and the Triangle Group may be at risk of being nationalized.”

After a pause, Liulizi said, "After all, currently, the largest shareholding, besides Grandpa himself, is the state."

Chen Ya smiled wryly: "So, there are still matters concerning the Administrative Office here?"

"Yes."

Chen Ya began to understand why Liulizi was under so much pressure.

Liulizi looked at Chen Ya with utmost seriousness and said:

“If I don’t return to China, I will be disqualified from inheriting by representation, so I have to come back. This apology may be a bit late… but I still want to say, I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Chen Ya looked at her and said gently, "It's okay, you're still by my side, aren't you?"

He patted Liulizi's head, and the girl nestled obediently in his arms.

“Now that you mention it, I understand something,” Chen Ya said. “I checked who contacted you before you returned to China. It was Asai Matsuya’s former secretary. I’m afraid she contacted you on the orders of the government.”

Liulizi's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's right!"

“It’s only when you return to China that this matter becomes complicated, and the government is more likely to seize greater benefits,” Chen Ya said. “After all, who wouldn’t want the Triangle Group to be nationalized?”

Liulizi sighed and said, "So in the end, I was tricked by the government. Now that things are like this, it's even more impossible for me to get away from this."

“Who isn’t used? Who doesn’t use others? It’s all about mutual exploitation. Think about it more positively,” Chen Ya said. “The problem now is how to convince your two difficult relatives to let you inherit all the shares.”

Liuli blinked: "You have quite the appetite."

“Since we’re already here, let’s have a bigger appetite,” Chen Ya said. “What about your uncle? What’s his situation?”

Upon hearing the name Shinjiro, Ruriko sighed again.

"He's more difficult to deal with."

In terms of relationships, Shinjiro's wife was the daughter of Asai Matsuya and also the aunt of Asai Ruriko.

He was an adopted son-in-law of the Asai family, having married into the family.

In Japan, marrying into a family is considered equivalent to marrying into the family. Even in political families, it's not uncommon for sons-in-law to inherit the mantle of their wives.

Recruiting a talented son-in-law is a common practice, and many established families have relied on this method to prolong their existence.

"Shinjiro is currently the rotating chairman of the board and an executive director, and he controls the decision-making power of the Triangle Group. He also enjoys a high reputation within the group."

"For most of the group's employees, it would probably be more in their best interest for him to take over the majority of the shares."

"I understand." Chen Ya nodded. "Lady Asai is like a personal eunuch who controls the palace, while Shinjiro is like a powerful minister who controls the military."

He looked at Liulizi and said, "And you, are the Crown Prince who has no power base."

"This analogy is quite apt."

After a pause, Ruriko said, "However, I think Asai Matsuya is not the kind of person who doesn't have a backup plan."

"How to say?"

“If the key to this matter is the legally binding will he personally drafted, then this will must have existed long ago,” Ruriko said, “we just didn’t know it.”

Chen Ya raised his eyebrows: "How did you make that judgment?"

“Intuition,” Ruriko said.

"I hope your intuition is right."

Chen Ya organized his thoughts and then said:

"Regardless of whether that will exists, to gain the initiative, we must obtain a legally valid will before Matsuya passes away."

“Then we must do two things,” Chen Ya said, looking at Liulizi. “First, we must break through Mrs. Asai’s blockade and get in touch with Mr. Asai, at least to let him know that you are back; second, we need to remove that rotating chairman from office.”

With a pained expression, Liulizi said, "The first thing is okay, but the second one is a bit difficult."

"Really? On the contrary, I think the latter is easier to do," Chen Ya said with a smile. "If a rotating director makes a mistake, he will be impeached, right?"

Ruriko's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

“Gu Yuqing is in Japan,” Chen Ya said succinctly. “We can prepare a big order, one that everyone in the Triangle Group will take very seriously.”

Liulizi shook her head: "You mean, you want Yunshan Group to offer up its bargaining chips to trade with Sanjiao Group? I'm afraid that's not enough."

"What if we add me?" Chen Ya asked. "With Bei Chen added, can't we still make it?"

Ruriko seemed to have a new world opened up before her eyes, and her eyes gradually brightened.

"you mean?……"

"That's right, that's exactly what I meant."

At that moment, the two smiled knowingly to each other.

After spending a lot of time with Chen Ya, this once innocent girl inevitably became cunning.
