Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"I'm just pretending to be nice to help the people here! I've accepted Jiang You's magic and become his witch. Isn't it normal for me to have his scent on me?"

"Take, take the magic power!?"

Ruby's thinking in this regard was actually the same as Jiang You's. If it continued like this, it would be even more difficult to explain. Then Sapphire successfully silenced it with an electric shock.

"That's true, Nero and Elizabeth. Moyi is my miko. When I'm not around, remember to listen to her and don't cause any more trouble, okay?"

Even if Jiang You thought their singing was quite good, he was the only one who felt that way. Without someone to supervise them, they might cause trouble. As for why they chose Mo Yi, it was mainly because Mo Yi at least had a status that was relevant to them. If it were another Heroic Spirit, like Bai Qiangdai and Medea, they would definitely not accept it.

"Then the question is, Nero is now your subordinate, Gudako's Servant, and you assigned Moyi. If the orders conflict, who should she listen to?"

Medea actually has a strong desire for revenge. Although she will not actually attack Nero, she will still do something to trouble Nero.

Jiang You glanced at Medea, who smiled like a villain. He knew exactly what she was thinking. Nero was indeed at fault, so a small punishment was reasonable. He was just afraid she might get out of hand.

"Just take it easy. She's much stronger than you are right now. If she creates a problem you can't handle, I won't help you clean it up."

"Oh yeah, where's Illya?"

Mo Yi subconsciously wanted to reply, but then she thought that if Jiang You called her by her full name at this time, it would definitely be a different her. Just like before, she felt a little dissatisfied.

"Eh, are you jealous because you're not favored?"

In addition to Jiang You, there is another person who can read Moyi's mind, and that is Moyi's other personality, now called Chloe, a girl nicknamed Xiao Hei. As a voice similar to Illya's sounded, Xiao Hei walked out from behind Jiang You. Because he had promised her before that she would exist as an independent individual, Jiang You also summoned her. At this time, her original shrine maiden costume similar to Tian Zhiyi had been changed into a light casual outfit, but she strongly requested that she still retain the belly-exposing style. She said that she wanted to distinguish herself from Illya, "You said you hated Jiang You, but in fact, you were quite happy during this period, weren't you? It's a pity that if everyone calls you Illya, it would be easy to become someone else's meal substitute."

It is similar to the original plot. Xiao Hei and Moyi actually did not get along well at the beginning, mainly because Xiao Hei believed that Moyi had stolen his life. This problem would only be officially alleviated after their mother Ai Li recognized Xiao Hei's identity. Therefore, after Jiang You confirmed that Xiao Hei and Moyi were different existences and used another name, Xiao Hei would confront Moyi on this issue.

"It's obviously you who are jealous of me!"

However, Moyi could also read Xiaohei's thoughts, and Xiaohei's words seemed pale and weak.

The two girls started fighting. Jiang You could feel that they were actually quite happy, just like sisters of the same age having a conflict, so he did not stop them.

"What Illya said is no longer a big deal."

Medusa answered for Illya. That's what Illya told her, "She's gone back to rest. She said there's no need to worry about her. She'll be fine after a while of rest."

"Is that so?"

The impact of the bubbles was indeed significant, but it was already late at night. Miyu, who was standing beside her, had been talking because she had fallen asleep a long time ago. After getting rid of Nero's Noble Phantasm, it was already very good for a little girl without the support of sapphire to be able to hold on until now. I think Illya should be about the same.

"Then I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Have a good rest today. As for Nero, you continue to reflect on yourself!"

After all, he is a servant, and a servant who has sewn an Outer God together. It is not a problem to spend a whole night on him.

But Nero felt so wronged that he was about to cry.

Chapter 453: Pie will fall from the sky.

Jiang You was woken by the deafening noise from next door, as if they were undergoing renovations. Jiang You had been working in this city for two years and hadn't moved. Although he wasn't familiar with the family of three next door, they were acquaintances. Logically, they wouldn't be doing any large-scale renovations.

Jiang You glanced at his phone. It was already past 11 o'clock, so it was normal for the neighbors to be renovating at this time. It was mainly because a lot had happened yesterday: a long main quest and a new contract to complete. This awful game couldn't be paused, so the plot had been going off the rails for a while. It was a good thing it was the weekend, so he didn't have to work. Otherwise, his perfect attendance bonus for the month would have been gone.

Sometimes, what you fear truly comes true. Jiang You was just about to order some delicious food and indulge in some gaming when his phone rang. The caller ID read "Zhang Baldy." His department head, surnamed Zhang, was in his early forties and quite bald, so Jiang You had given him that nickname. He knew it was the same name everyone in the department called him, but he didn't mind it at all, not even wearing a wig. So, he actually had a pretty good relationship with everyone in the department.

Getting a call from a company boss on vacation was definitely not a good thing. Jiang You wanted to ignore it, but work wasn't that easy. If the project wasn't completed, the entire department would be in trouble. He reluctantly answered the phone: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, any instructions?"

"Behave yourself, kid! The guy above is right next to me!"

It's okay to joke about a super-doubled job title, but if your superiors hear about it, it could be a disaster. They'll think you're dissatisfied with your current situation and want to climb the ladder. If they have a good impression of you, they'll joke about it, but if they don't, it'll make an even worse impression. At first glance, it sounds like nonsense, but if the impression is really bad, everyone knows what the consequences will be.

"Come to the company today, there is something I need you to take care of."

“Does that count as overtime?”

Jiang You had only mentioned it casually; he had already included overtime pay in his work over the years, so he wasn't too worried about it. But this time, he got a different answer.

"Not counting."

Jiang You's face darkened when he heard this, but fortunately, Baldy Zhang added the last sentence.

"I'll give you Monday off, or any other time, but you have to finish it this week. Don't let me take a break when I'm busy!"

"That's okay too."

I don't have any other plans lately, so I'll just take the day off. These days, it's a good thing I didn't miss my vacation. "But we haven't been busy lately, and there's not much to do on the finishing touches of the previous project. Is there any need to notify me so urgently?"

"You'll know what's going on when you come here."

Jiang You felt that there was a hint of teasing in Zhang Tuzi's words, "You don't have a partner yet, right? This is a great thing for you."

At this point, Jiang You couldn't help but realize that he was meeting a female colleague, or perhaps a new female colleague. Their department was already nearly full, and the fact that their boss had come all the way during their vacation must have been due to some strong connections. However, this wasn't exactly good news for him. It wasn't like there weren't any women in their department. Firstly, office romances were officially forbidden in the company. Secondly, he was too busy playing games right now to make money, so how could he afford to care about making a girl happy?

"Can't you just ask other female colleagues for this kind of thing?"

Jiang You weakly refused in a low voice. If he spoke too loudly and the superiors heard it, it would be a loss of face for both him and Zhang Tuzi, and neither he nor Zhang Tuzi would be in a good mood.

"If they're all girls, it would be more convenient, right?"

"Do you think I want to find you?"

Baldy Zhang thought to himself, "How could I not understand this? I don't have the heart to worry about finding a partner for you. Half of the seven or eight people in the department are single. "The other party specifically mentioned you, and you're pretty good-looking, so that must be the reason."

Jiang You certainly looks good, and it's also possible that his work time isn't very long, so his health hasn't completely deteriorated. However, he's not handsome enough to possess the inherent skill of a "Beautiful Young Man" to attract attention, which is a bit unbelievable. Given Zhang Tuzi's tone, he doesn't seem to be planning to fire him to make room for someone with connections, which is hard to understand.

"Could it be that some leader's daughter can't get married and they've drafted me into the army?"

While this kind of thing mostly only happens in novels, it's not uncommon in real life. However, a young lady born into a wealthy family like this wouldn't have any trouble finding a husband. Those who can't must have some issues, whether it's their appearance, their personality, or even their intelligence. This was a bit scary, and Jiang You suddenly felt the urge to run away. The money from game testing was now higher than his job, enough to support himself for a while, but not for long.

"What are you thinking, kid? I told you it's a great thing, but you don't trust your leader, do you?"

Baldy Zhang tried his best to lower his voice, "Don't show your eyeballs to me when the time comes. If you do, it will not only be your loss of face, but mine as well!"

"Hey, Manager Zhang, do you believe in pie-in-the-sky deals?"

Even if Baldy Zhang hadn't said it explicitly, using this description meant the other person must be quite beautiful, which was even more terrifying. He definitely had some ulterior motive for specifically mentioning him. With money and good looks, why would he need to look for a partner this way? If he wasn't looking for a partner, then he was probably attracted to his waist. Whatever the situation, it was terrifying.

"I don't believe it either, but I just know that if you don't come, we'll probably get the lowest grade for our year-end bonus evaluation."

Baldy Zhang said that he didn't want to care about so many things at all. He only cared about money and he had to support his family.

"……makes sense."

Adults were easily persuaded. Jiang You decided it was best to go for the meeting. Year-end evaluations generally involve rotating ABCD ratings, but in reality, it all depends on the evaluator's mood. If the leader gave the go-ahead, he'd probably only get the lowest D, which was a far cry from an A. For the sake of his own wallet, Jiang You decided to go alone. This was modern society, and the other party couldn't just eat him up the moment they met, right?

"He agreed and will be here in about twenty minutes. Would Mr. Tong and Miss Tong like to have some tea first?"

Baldy Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The black-haired girl across from him—although she was an adult, she looked too young, so let's call her that—kept smiling, and Baldy Zhang had a feeling that she was getting a little impatient. And strangely, the girl's black hair didn't look natural, like it had been dyed.

Baldy Zhang tried hard to look away from the girl's chest, because it was too big. To keep his position, he tried hard to overcome his instinct.

Chapter 454: When your subordinates are the leader’s children.

"No need, your cooking skills are too poor, it's better than what I made myself."

The girl, known as Miss Tong, was not polite to her boss at all, even saying rather hurtful things before even trying Baldy Zhang's cooking. Baldy Zhang could only smile awkwardly, not daring to raise any objections. The salary here was quite good, and as long as he kept his current position, he didn't care about the other issues.

"Don't mind me, I'm telling the truth."

Miss Tong saw the other person's timid look and laughed without any restraint. Although the other person looked a generation older than her, he had no temper at all.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Baldy Zhang was also a little angry, but he couldn't and didn't dare show it. If she had just said one sentence and skipped the topic, it wouldn't have been a big deal. She would just be a young lady with little social experience. But if she kept repeating it like this, she would definitely be a difficult person to get along with, and his life would probably be difficult. He thought of Jiang You again. Jiang You should also have a hard time. He didn't know if this guy was strong or not. Being too strong would easily lead to conflict, but it wasn't all bad. He was young and had time to change jobs, but if he was too weak, his life would probably be even more difficult than his own.

"Haha, it's worthy of being the place closest to him. It's so realistic."

Miss Tong was still laughing, her eyebrows curled up charmingly like crescent moons. "Now you're angry, that's right. A man who has no temper will be led by his wife. Don't you agree, Manager Zhang?"

Baldy Zhang's eyes dodged. Miss Tong was right. His wife was indeed stronger than him, and he felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts were seen through.

"Don't worry about losing your job. I'm actually quite happy about this. You can handle your own affairs with your spouse, but I'll help you with the tea issue. As his supervisor, you're a well-known figure. These disposable cups are so cheap. Don't we have a tea-making culture here? You should learn it too. Dad, get him a tea set."

President Tong looked at his daughter but remained silent. Tea sets came in both expensive and inexpensive varieties. It wasn't that President Tong was stingy with the money, but he didn't understand why his daughter was so invested in it. For such a prominent figure to describe a department head in this way was a bit boastful, and the emphasis on him, the young man named Jiang You, made him a little worried.

"Come on, Dad, you wouldn't want your daughter's boss to be so cheap, would you?"

Miss Tong took Mr. Tong's hand and shook it.

Tong Zong felt his heart melt. His daughter had never been close to him since she was a child, but now that she had returned from studying abroad, their relationship had improved. He immediately agreed.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, don't you have work to discuss? If you don't go over now, you'll be late."

After her father agreed, Miss Tong raised her watch almost at the same time. Even Baldy Zhang felt that it was a bit deliberate. However, Mr. Tong's face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum because he was called dad, so she didn't notice it.

"Indeed...but is it really okay for you to be alone?"

Mr. Tong was still worried about his daughter being bullied, which was why he had always wanted her to work at his company, so he could use his connections to take care of her. Previously, his daughter had said she didn't want to, but now she'd finally agreed, which made him incredibly concerned. However, his daughter had declined the offer to join the General Office, choosing instead a position at a lower level. While the work involved primarily computer processing, which was more in line with her professional background, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"You worry too much."

Miss Tong pinched Mr. Tong's shoulders and said, "I have always lived alone abroad. What else could happen under your nose?"

"Ok."

Since his daughter had said so, Mr. Tong no longer hesitated. Before leaving, he patted Baldy Zhang on the shoulder.

"Do your best. I'll send the tea table and tea sets as soon as possible. I'll trouble you to take care of her."

"Don't worry."

Baldy Zhang knew this was his chance, but he couldn't figure out what Miss Tong was up to. She was so fickle, hot and cold, it was hard to fathom. And she was incredibly beautiful, too beautiful to be real.

When Baldy Zhang turned around, he saw Miss Tong pulling out a bag of tea from her desk. He didn't dare say anything about this extremely rude behavior. He just wondered how this young lady had never been beaten up in her life. And she was studying abroad. Could she really not be shot? "This is some low-quality tea. Ten or twenty yuan a bag?"

Actually, it's fifty yuan. Baldy Zhang didn't say anything, and there's actually no difference between these prices.

"Don't soak this stuff when the table arrives, use this!"

As she spoke, Miss Tong took out an exquisite iron can, flicked it lightly with her fingertips, and the tightly sealed lid flew high up. In an instant, the rich aroma of tea filled the entire reception room.

"Anxi Tieguanyin! I don't know much about it, but it's quite famous, so I brought it here."

"!"

Baldy Zhang wasn't shocked by the quality of the tea; he didn't understand that either. He was shocked by how Miss Tong had pulled out such a large tin can, considering she didn't even have a bag or anything. He quickly composed himself; logically, he should have declined. But the other person's personality might have made her unhappy if he refused. "Such precious tea is such a waste of money. I'll start learning (?) how to make tea now. Next time, I'll treat you to a taste of my craftsmanship. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

"No problem. If it's not enough, just ask me for it again."

Miss Tong has a kind of beauty that says, "You don't know how expensive food and firewood are until you manage the household." Logically, the salary of her position can't even buy her a few pounds of food a month after deducting living expenses.

"No need for that, I'll prepare it."

Baldy Zhang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "The young lady has really no concept of money."

"If you're too polite, you'll suffer."

Tea leaves were just a copy-paste thing to her, so if she insisted on paying for it herself, she'd be in for a hard time. But it was fun to watch her trying to be tough.

"It must be quite stressful for you to buy this with your salary, right?"

You know what I mean! Baldy Zhang has even more hair on his forehead. It feels like nothing I say is right in front of this guy. It's so troublesome. How can I live like this from now on?

"Leader Zhang, I'm here."

Just at this moment Jiang You happened to appear and rescued the situation.

"Xiaojiang!"

Baldy Zhang's eyes lit up obviously. He could finally hand over this hot potato.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, come quickly."

Chapter 455: This might be my romantic luck.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tong's daughter, Miss Tong..."

Only then did Baldy Zhang realize that he seemed to not know the name of this young lady.

"What is your real name?"

“I haven’t thought about that yet.”

Miss Tong blinked her eyes and stuck out her pink tongue.

"Just keep it a secret. It will unlock automatically when the favorability level reaches a certain level."
