Let them offer their loyalty

"why?"
Jonas stopped what he was doing, gently stroked the girl's hair, and asked:
"I think our relationship no longer needs this kind of guarantee... Or do you think you will hurt me in the future, Miss Esni?"
--How can it be!
Esni shook her head to deny it, raised her head, and said in a firm tone:
"Even without the collar, I would never betray Mr. Jonas."
There are some things that are more important than physical constraints... After going through so much, Jonas has long become a person as important as her sister in her heart.
"Then why don't you want to take off the collar?"
Jonas seemed a little confused. After organizing his words for a moment, he continued:
"Miss Esni should be very clear that the collar represents the unequal relationship between us... I took off the collar just to make our relationship more normal. Judging from the results, it will not affect anything."
In other words, taking off the collar represents freedom, and whether Esni is willing to continue the previous relationship or let the two get along in a more equal way depends entirely on her own wishes.
Hearing this, Esni became a little conflicted.
But this tangle did not last long. Esni raised her head, her cheeks slightly red, as if she was a little shy about what she was going to say next, but there was no confusion in her eyes. She spoke without hesitation:
"An equal relationship... I don't care. I am happy that Mr. Jonas trusts me, but I would rather maintain the status quo."
"Besides, it was an unequal relationship from the beginning. They have already done so many excessive things. It is too despicable to say that we should restore the status quo now."
As she said this, Esni's cheeks became redder and redder. The girl was always not good at expressing herself, even when she wanted love, she would express it through physical actions. Suddenly, she was asked to express her inner feelings with words, which made the girl's inner emotions turn into pink clouds and blush all the way to her ears.
But there are some things that can never solve any problems if kept in your heart. Although Esni is shy, she doesn't want the other party to misunderstand her because of this.
After saying this, the girl's cheeks were completely red. The sunlight from the panoramic window shone in, shining through the leaves of the hanging basket. In the sunlight, one could see that there seemed to be tiny crystal drops of water hanging on the girl's eyelashes. She clenched her fists, and suddenly raised her eyes from her original drooping eyes, looking at Jonas, and said as if she had made up her mind:
"I don't want an equal relationship, and I don't understand those things."
"Mr. Jonas is obviously the culprit... You know that I can't go back!"
Having said this, she stepped forward, hugged Jonas's neck tightly, and spoke in a weak voice:
"So please, don't abandon your puppy, okay..?"
These are not words used to add interest in certain situations, but the girl's true feelings... The girl actually has a very strong self-esteem, which can be seen from the fact that she became a mercenary in her teens and twenties and worked alone to earn money for Celine's medical expenses.
Admittedly, Jonas used some despicable means, but he was the only one who could make her take off all her disguises and show her whole self without reservation.
Looking at the girl's red ears and the way she hugged him tightly to prevent him from seeing her appearance, Jonas knew that she had relied on great courage to overcome her shyness and reveal her true thoughts.
The girl's surging love made him feel a little suffocated... Of course, more physically.
He was a little breathless because the girl hugged him so tightly.
Patting Ethni's back gently, Jonas said:
"Okay, I won't abandon you."
"You can wear it all the time if you like."
"So, do you understand? This is what you asked for."
Hearing this, Esni clenched her fists and tapped Jonas lightly, as if to express her protest and accuse him of his bad taste.
Then, he lowered his head even lower.
"You know I won't refuse you."
.................................................
On the other side, Su Lingqing, who was called in advance by Jonas to discuss virtual reality, secretly watched the movements inside the door, his pupils shaking violently.
It’s not because of the relationship between the two... After all, Jonas has a special relationship with the [Dark Warrior], and she has known about it for a long time.
What shocked her more was that the conversation between the two reminded her of herself.
After her first experience with Jonas, she was no longer so resistant to it.
Originally, Su Lingqing was more indifferent to matters between men and women, but recently, after that incident, she began to get addicted to it.
What made her even more uneasy was that every time she fantasized about someone else being in a dominant position, as if that was her inner inclination.
At first, she thought it was just a coincidence because she never thought her attribute was M.
But now let's look at...
——Will I become like this in the future?
Su Lingqing bit her lower lip, her eyes were very conflicted. After a long while, her eyes became firm again.
——No, I will never give in!
.................................................. .........
PS: I'm fast forwarding.
Chapter 311 Su Lingqing: Can I really still regard him as an enemy?
After revealing her true feelings, Esni spent some special time with him.
After finishing the bond plot with Miss Esni, the girl left reluctantly.
Miss Su Lingqing, who was eavesdropping in the corner outside the door, was suddenly startled when Esni left. She subconsciously hid in the dark, not wanting the other party to find out that she had been eavesdropping outside the door.
Su Lingqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Esni's breath completely disappeared in the office. But her heart tightened as if she suddenly thought of something. She didn't just walk into the office, but counted the time silently outside the door. After more than ten minutes, she slowly knocked on Jonas' office door.
The reason she did this was of course to cover up her behavior of eavesdropping just now. Otherwise, it would be too suspicious for her to follow Esni out right after she left. Even if Su Lingqing herself said it, she might not think it was just a coincidence.
About four or five seconds after knocking on the door, Jonas' voice came from the office:
"come in."
The first thing Su Lingqing saw when she walked into the office was an obvious dent on the sofa not far away. In fact, from what she had just eavesdropped on, she could guess what had happened. Su Lingqing had waited outside the door for nearly forty minutes longer, and she felt a little resentful in her heart, but she did not show it.
The girl never likes to show her emotions directly to other people, but some details can be used to infer the girl's situation... such as her earlobes.
Su Ling's red ears revealed her true mental activities while eavesdropping outside the door for dozens of minutes, and also revealed that she had guessed the beautiful scene that had just taken place in the office.
Although the girl remained calm on the surface, she was probably already ashamed and angry in her heart. She walked to the desk, put down the documents, and said:
"Dawn Star has already replaced its weapons with those of the Alt Foundation as you said... In addition, I have also deciphered some of the follow-up information about the virtual reality, and it is all in this document."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Su Lingqing."
Jonas nodded, put the document aside, and said:
"I think you should know the specific progress of this project, so I won't go into details. What is Miss Su Lingqing's attitude towards the first generation sample of virtual reality?"
"..."
Hearing this, Su Lingqing could not help but remain silent for a while, and then he spoke:
"The research team of the Alt Foundation is excellent, at least much better than that of the Dawn Star."
She knew very well that research of this scale might not be accomplished in such a short period of time, even if the top consortiums spent all their credit points. The level of the research department of the Alt Consortium was not even on the same level as that of the Dawn Star.
This made her feel a little frustrated.
The resources controlled by the Alte Group were beyond her reach. She originally thought that Dawn Star could surpass the Alte Group, but in reality, it had not even reached the other party's starting point.
The development speed of Dawn Star is not even half of that of the Alte Group. Although Su Lingqing has always been open-minded, this cruel reality still hurts her self-esteem to some extent.
"So, what is Mr. Jonas going to do? Since the first generation of samples has been developed, there won't be any use for me in the future."
The documents on the table were the most useful things she could provide to the other party. Ignoring her own value, the interests of Morning Star had been completely squeezed out by the other party.
All that is left is to do a good job in publicity. It is only a matter of time before Dawn Star becomes one of the top financial groups in District 25.
Such huge interests only require finding a reliable partner...
"I plan to allocate part of the virtual reality-related projects to Dawn Star."
Jonas' words left Su Lingqing unresponsive for a moment.
But soon, after realizing the meaning of Jonas' words, Su Lingqing became a little surprised and doubtful.
"...Why?"
"This project has been able to progress so smoothly largely because of Miss Su Lingqing... It is only natural to share some of the results with Dawn Star."
Jonas' tone was as if he was describing a very ordinary matter, and one could not even realize that this might be a large project involving billions or even tens of billions of credit points. He paused for a moment, then added:
"Of course, I hope that this project can be handled by Miss Su Lingqing... You should know that I am not interested in the Dawn Star."
——But you.
Including Tianyu's youngest son, his importance in his heart is not as great as the girl in front of him. After all, he had seen Su Lingqing's ability with his own eyes. If the other party was really willing to become his assistant, many dangers would be solved.
Therefore, he has always adhered to the strategy of "giving a blow and then giving a sweet treat". Only by letting the other party see the sweetness can the idea of "leaving" the Alte Group be temporarily eliminated.
After hearing Jonas' words, Su Lingqing felt a little complicated.
Of course the girl realized that the other party was trying to win her over. Originally, she should have rejected the encroachment of these interests, but judging from the current situation of the Dawn Star, if she rejected these interests, the possibility of her wanting to become independent in the future would be even smaller.
However, Su Lingqing is not a cold-blooded animal without emotions. Especially on certain matters, the girl's thinking is more inclined towards "the kingly way".
That's the standard protagonist thinking.
After accepting the benefits from the villain, she could no longer use the benefits given by the villain to deal with him.
In her eyes, this was undoubtedly a betrayal... Even if it was the other party's deliberate inducement, it was a fact that she accepted the other party's benefits.
After spending these days together, she actually didn't see the "belief" that Jonas mentioned, but her impression of him did become more complicated.
Jonas is not a bad guy in the traditional sense. From the perspective of the Alte Foundation or even the Alte District, he is actually a "savior."
It was this complex perception that made her hesitate at this moment.
She seemed to be afraid of something deep in her heart.
——If I really accepted Jonas's kindness, then if he is different from what he said, can I still firmly regard him as an enemy?

PS: The update is too slow, I am guilty and I admit my mistake.
I went to bed first, and woke up later to update 6,000 words.
Chapter 6: You're not really a male succubus, are you? (K
After a brief hesitation, she didn't say much, but just nodded silently.
This action was a tacit acknowledgement of Jonas' words and acceptance of the other party's good intentions.
This is a benefit that cannot be ignored for the Dawn Star. Compared to being a vassal of the Alte Group for a lifetime, Su Lingqing would rather have a trump card that can help him resist the Alte Group in times of crisis.
Jonas was not surprised, but handed a plan to the girl in front of him.
Jonas found it quite interesting to see the other party's conflicted expression because of his proposal.
"Since Miss Su Lingqing has no objection, then please sign this plan." He handed the book to her as he spoke. As if worried that she might not agree, Jonas added, "Of course, although I know Miss Su Lingqing doesn't care much about the legal effects, we still have to go through the normal process."
Hearing this, Su Lingqing raised his head, looked at Jonas, and said angrily:
"Dawn Star is a reform organization, not a terrorist organization. You don't have to look at us the same way you look at Destiny... Compared to completely destroying the existing order, we just want to change those unreasonable rules."
"But Miss Su's previous performance was not as gentle as you said."
Jonas made a joke.
Su Lingqing remained silent. After a moment, she took the plan from Jonas and did not respond to what he had just said. She just asked:
"Is it all I need to do to sign my name on it?"
"of course."
The girl made two random strokes on the plan and signed her name in the Party B column.
"So, Mr. Jonas, can you tell us about the Alt Foundation's plans for this project?"
Since he is involved in this matter, Su Lingqing naturally hopes to maximize its benefits.
