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

Ruriko haughtily placed her hand on her chest: "I'm not some insignificant accomplice. I should be a beauty, like the princess in Dragon Quest."

"The princess is a reward for the hero. So, am I the hero?" Chen Ya laughed.

"No, no, no..." Ruriko raised a finger and shook her head dramatically, "You are the culprit who dealt a heavy blow to this declining industry, the evil dragon that peeked out from the west, cast a shadow, and kidnapped the princess as a hostage."

Chen Ya grabbed Liulizi's finger and said, "Why doesn't the princess wait patiently for the hero to come to her rescue? Why does she have to follow the evil dragon and help the wicked?"

Ruriko blinked and said, "Is the evil dragon we've been with day and night more trustworthy, or is the hero, whose whereabouts are unknown, worth waiting for?"

"what?"

Liulizi placed her palm on Chen Ya's chest, gently pressed him onto the sofa, and lowered her head to bring her face close to his:

"With such a handsome, gentlemanly, and cunning dragon by your side, what princess would still eagerly wait for a hero?"

Chen Ya said, "They've turned into the evil dragon's side?"

Ruriko wore a mysterious smile: "It has turned into the shape of an evil dragon."

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air. This territory, isolated from the outside world within the noisy venue, was completely enveloped in the unique charm of the glass. Chen Ya was somewhat dazed.

Just as Liulizi's face drew closer and her red lips became increasingly irresistible, Chen Ya finally managed to control his itchy heart and pushed her to sit down on the opposite sofa.

"At least in public, the princess should maintain her dignified demeanor. If her subjects were to see this, it would cause a great uproar."

Liulizi wrinkled her nose, clearly unhappy.

Chen Ya earnestly advised, "You've already done ninety-nine prostrations; this is the last hurdle. If you give up here, all the planning you've done so far will have been for nothing."

"...We haven't seen each other for several days, and we finally managed to meet, but all I'm supposed to do is sit here."

"..."

Chen Ya could understand this girlish mentality. Although the timing was not right, Chen Ya was still quite happy and felt embarrassed to blame her.

He started by casually changing the subject:

"When you get back, just tell Shinjiro and Asai Miko that I still intend to cooperate with the Triangle Group. They will naturally come to me again, and then..."

Before Chen Ya could finish speaking, Liulizi interrupted him, saying:

"At that time, you can request a change of negotiating representative, and if we successfully reach a cooperation agreement, the CEO position of Shinjiro will naturally fall to me."

The girl pouted, lifted her foot, and her jade-like toes shimmered with the light of colorful nail polish.

The little foot gently stepped on Chen Ya's instep.

"Idiot. Of course I know."

"Well, it's good that you know..."

"..."

The girl's face puffed up like an inflating balloon.

Seeing the girl's arrogant expression, Chen Ya still felt a little guilty.

From her own perspective, she felt no psychological burden; from her perspective, it could be considered a betrayal of her country.

Moreover, the two years she spent as a "hostage" with him back in China were actually to protect him.

Chen Ya sat down in front of her with a touch of pity in his eyes and whispered:

"If we can do it in a way that won't be discovered, I can keep you company for a while."

Liulizi, who was holding her breath, immediately seized the opportunity upon hearing this, stretching out her long legs and placing her foot on the other person's knee.

"Okay, rub it for me."

Chen Ya looked down, then looked up again: "I'm talking about a way that won't be discovered."

"As the princess of the Triangle Group, it's perfectly reasonable for a gentleman to massage my sore feet from wearing high heels, isn't it?"

"How does this make any sense?"

However, Ruriko's nail polish today is a light pink shimmering type, clearly applied with care. It seems she dressed up nicely for today, and it looks...

It looks delicious.

"Cough cough!"

Just then, a soft cough came from the doorway of the cubicle, which scared Chen Ya out of his wits.

But there she was, Gu Yuqing, leaning against the doorway, her gaze intense, looking at her with a forced smile.

"As expected of the young lady of the Triangle Group and the CEO of the Beichen Group, so this is how you conduct business. It's truly unique and unprecedented."

Chen Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then Gu Yuqing walked over and plopped down opposite him. The breath he had just let out rose again.

Ruriko looked at her indifferently: "What are you doing here?"

“This is a negotiation between Yunshan Group’s designated partner. As the boss of Yunshan, it’s perfectly normal for me to be here, right?” Gu Yuqing said matter-of-factly.

"That's normal. So, will you be there on our wedding night too?"

"What kind of analogy is that? How can these be the same thing? Besides, when will that day ever come?"

Immediately, the two women started chattering away, and it went on and on.

Chen Ya pressed his forehead.

On the bright side, at least Ruriko won't be bored for the next half hour.

……

"How is it? How's the situation?"

Outside the cubicle, a group of people were making a commotion, passing on all sorts of information.

The man closest to the cubicle turned around and whispered, "They seem to be having a heated discussion."

A middle-aged distributor rubbed his balding head and said, "The boss of Yunshan has also gone in. Is the shoe finally going to drop?"

"There's no need to be so pessimistic," said a reporter-looking person standing nearby. "If a cooperation can really be reached, it might actually be a good thing for the industry."

"The catfish effect? ​​But will Beichen, this catfish, stir up this pool even more? Or will he, like in the past, kill off his competitors?" a man murmured.

An older man standing nearby asked, "What kind of company is Beichen?"

The man who looked like a reporter retorted, "Don't you know anything about Beichen Company?"

"I've only heard that they're very popular, but I don't know the specifics."

"Beichen Company, huh..." the reporter began, seemingly wanting to share some business history.

Just then, he was interrupted.

"Please do not approach the door. The negotiations inside involve trade secrets. If you wish to inquire, please wait until our boss finishes his meeting before arranging a meeting..."

Liu Ruying and the other translators repeated these words in Japanese before politely nodding to the crowd at the door, signaling them to move away.

The group's murmurs finally subsided a bit.

Not being harassed, Liu Ruying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened up and stood at the door like a guardian deity.

During this time, Shinjiro saw her but did not react, seemingly unaware that she was the one who took the "evidence" of his crime.

In fact, Chen Ya did not explain to her why he had to resort to such insidious means to break the terms he had agreed upon with Shinjiro.

In her view, the terms negotiated with Shinjiro were actually in Hokushin's favor.

The moment Liu Ruying saw Liulizi, she had a vague realization.

It's like grasping a thread in the void; the originally fragmented web of logic seems to have become a little denser.

Therefore, she was very glad that she hadn't questioned Chen Ya's arrangements at all, maintained her consistent loyalty, and demonstrated her competence as a top assistant to Chen Ya:

Even without knowing the boss's full plan, Liu Ruying was able to execute it steadfastly!

Listening to the faint sounds of conversation coming from inside the cubicle, Liu Ruying felt very at ease.

Chen Ya must be engaged in very serious negotiations right now.

……

"Splat".

Back in her room, Liu Ruying collapsed onto her bed.

I'm exhausted.

I'm really exhausted.

These past few days have been filled with negotiations and auto shows, non-stop work that has left me feeling completely exhausted.

Fortunately, after the auto show ended during the day, Chen Ya seemed to be in a great mood and announced that the employees would be on standby for two days, and also gave Liu Ruying a few days off.

She had originally planned to fight until she returned to China, but this incident allowed her to find time to meet with Lu Qianzi and the others.

Unfortunately, because Chen Ya was always busy, she never had the heart to tell him that Lu Qianzi and the others had gone to Japan.

He took out his phone, opened his contacts, and hesitated for a long time on Lu Qianzi's page.

Actually, she was still a little hesitant to meet Lu Qianzi's small team.

I always felt that it would be difficult to communicate with my cousin Liu Ruyan, and that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

But I had promised my uncle, so I had to get through this hurdle even if it was tough.

She finally dialed the number.

"Hey, Akane? I have a day off tomorrow... Oh, okay, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ruying lay on the bed and turned over to look at the ceiling.

After the auto show, the boss, Chen Ya, left in a hurry, and no one knows where he went or what he was busy with.

The business deal was all settled, and everyone else was given a holiday, so why didn't he take a holiday himself?

If we could take him out to play and let him meet Lu Qianzi and Lu Qingxuan, those two would definitely be overjoyed, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruying smiled slightly.

She could already picture the expressions on their faces when they saw Chen Ya.

Lu Qianzi would definitely be excited and jumping around, and might even cry; Lu Qingxuan would pretend not to care, but secretly she would care a lot and wish she could stick to Chen Ya.

"Ugh……"

Liu Ruying sighed softly.

Actually, she really wanted to spend more time with Chen Ya.

……

The next day was a bright and sunny day. Liu Ruying stayed in bed until nine o'clock before getting up, washing up, having breakfast, and rushing to Lu Qianzi's hotel to meet up with them.

Fortunately, Chiyoda Ward was not far from that hotel, or rather, that hotel was not far from Chiyoda Ward. In any case, it was a lucky coincidence for her at that moment.

Liu Ruying quickly arrived at the location and found that Lu Qianzi and the others were also staying in bed, so she didn't stay in bed for long herself.

“Room 361, just knock on the door when you get there.” — That’s what Lu Qianzi wrote in the message she sent her.

So Liu Ruying knocked on the door, and Lu Qianzi, wearing only a blanket and completely naked, ran over to open it for her. Then she quickly ran back to the bed and hid under the sheets.

This is a standard room with an extra bed. There is a small bed in the middle of two medium-sized beds. Lu Qianzi is sleeping on this small bed. At this moment, she is wrapped in a quilt, and her two bright legs are sticking out from under the quilt.

To her right, Qi Yunche lay on his side on the bed, his bangs gently covering his cheeks, breathing evenly and sleeping peacefully.

To her left lay Lu Qingxuan, dressed in a bathrobe. Her alluring figure was so captivating that it made Liu Ruying gasp for breath.

"Hey! What a coincidence, Ruying is here too!"

At the door, Xiao Qing's voice followed closely behind Liu Ruying. Liu Ruying looked over and first saw Xiao Qing's fleshy legs leaning against the door.

Then Liu Ruyan peeked out from behind her shoulder furtively, her dark eyes staring intently at her.

"Uh..." Liu Ruying took two steps back. This cousin was indeed beyond her ability to handle.

"We agreed to go see President Qin together today, and now that Ruying is here too, we can't just cancel again, can we?" Xiao Qing asked, arms crossed, her legs trembling slightly.

She's been traveling with the group every day for the past few days and has gotten to know them all pretty well.

Upon hearing Xiao Qing's suggestion, Lu Qingxuan closed her eyes, sighed, and turned over.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qing raised her voice.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm not in my best condition right now," Lu Qingxuan said quietly, her back turned.
