Clang, clang, clang... As Zhong Chen used a small hammer to repair the damaged, collapsed entrance, Sha Nai, standing nearby, immediately clapped her hands.
"Oh, Chen Gege is so capable..."
Zhong Chen wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with his hand, lifting his chin with a proud expression.
"Of course, who am I?"
Sha Nai looked at the proud Zhong Chen, extended her right hand, gave a thumbs up, and said expressionlessly:
"An alien!"
"Bingo, you got it right!"
Misaki Ayuzawa couldn't help but cover her forehead as she watched their interaction.
Sigh, I hope this guy Zhong Chen doesn't lead Sha Nai astray.
Misaki Ayuzawa then looked at the living room clock and saw that it was almost nine o'clock, so she immediately said:
"Sha Nai, it's getting late. Take a bath soon and go to bed early. You have school tomorrow."
"Hai (Yes)!"
Misaki Ayuzawa first nodded to Sha Nai, then looked at Zhong Chen with a fierce expression.
"And you, when you take your bath last, don't do anything strange to the bathwater."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chen yelled angrily at Misaki Ayuzawa:
"Who would do anything to the bathwater!!!"
"Who... who knows."
After saying that, Misaki Ayuzawa ran off, feeling a little guilty.
In the evening, as both sisters fell into a deep sleep, Zhong Chen and Minako Ayuzawa sat opposite each other in the living room.
"Hehe, I feel like Misaki and Sha Nai haven't been this happy in a long time."
Hearing Minako's words, Zhong Chen looked in the direction of the upstairs and smiled, saying:
"They are both good children. Do you need me to help you find their father?"
Minako Ayuzawa was stunned, and thinking of her missing husband, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Are you talking about Sakuya?"
"Yes, he actually didn't leave because of debt, did he?"
"You even know that. You truly are an alien."
"Hahaha!"
Although Zhong Chen had only watched the anime in his previous life, he had some understanding of the manga.
Misaki Ayuzawa's father, Sakuya Ayuzawa, did not actually leave because he was heavily in debt.
The real reason was that a friend owed a huge sum of money and fled abroad, and he had to go find him, so he left his family.
The reason Minako told her daughters about the debt was because she didn't know when he would return, so she didn't want her daughters to keep waiting.
Sakuya Ayuzawa first appeared in chapter 69 of the manga, working as a chef in a coffee shop. He was innocent and childlike in nature and proficient in making Japanese cuisine.
In the manga, with the help of Takumi Usui, he eventually regained his family's forgiveness, which was considered a happy ending.
Although Minako Ayuzawa didn't hate Sakuya Ayuzawa, he left when her daughters were very young, forcing her to raise them on her own.
She still harbored some resentment, so she ultimately shook her head.
"Forget it, I've gotten used to it over the years. Let nature take its course."
"Enough about me, Mr. Alien, what are your plans next?"
Hearing Minako constantly calling him an alien, Zhong Chen smiled helplessly.
"Uh... you can just call me by my name, Zhong Chen."
Minako rested her right arm on the table, her right hand stroking her face, and said with a smile, looking at Zhong Chen:
"Then I'll call you Younger Brother Zhong Chen."
"Hahaha, anything is fine."
Zhong Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with her calling him Younger Brother, after all, his real age was only 24.
"Then I'll call you Sister Minako."
"You can do that."
Host, do you like older women?
System, can you stop having such a dirty mind?
I'm only 24, calling a 36-year-old woman 'Sister' doesn't seem to be a problem, does it?
Heh... Shizue Izawa is even older, and Milim is also older. Why don't I see you calling them 'Sister'?
Isn't it because their faces look young?
Besides, Shizue is one thing, but Milim? For me to call her 'Sister', I'd rather self-destruct my primordial spirit!!!
...
"So, Younger Brother Zhong Chen, what do you plan to do next? Are you waiting for someone to rescue you?"
Hearing Minako's question, Zhong Chen also fell into thought. Yes, what should he do?
He was kicked here by Sakuya for introspection. Should he go be a teacher again? No, he didn't bring any teaching assistants this time.
Suddenly, Zhong Chen seemed to have thought of something. The corners of his mouth began to curl upwards, and symbols of money started appearing in his eyes.
"I've got it! I'm going to be an overbearing CEO!!!"
Minako looked at the suddenly passionate Zhong Chen with a surprised expression.
"Eh! A president?"
"That's right, I'm going to be the head of the world's largest conglomerate!"
Although Minako felt that Zhong Chen's idea was too grand, she still gave him an encouraging smile and said:
"Okay, if it's Younger Brother Zhong Chen, you can definitely do it, after all, you are an alien."
"Of course!"
...For the next period of time, Zhong Chen always left in the morning and returned home close to dinner time in the evening.
Misaki and Sha Nai even thought that Zhong Chen had found a job and was going to work every day.
In fact, if they paid attention to the world news broadcast every night in Neon (Japan).
They would discover that a world conglomerate had suddenly appeared out of nowhere recently, and it had ascended to become the world's number one conglomerate at an incredible speed.
However, the name of the conglomerate was very strange, something like "Lord Chen's Genius Idea Conglomerate, Unstoppable in Expanding the World Market by Command," abbreviated as the Chen Tuo Conglomerate.
No one was clear about what the conglomerate specifically operated, only that all world conglomerates had been acquired with a twenty percent stake by this conglomerate.
And despite such a massive conglomerate, various governments showed no reaction at all, which made the situation behind it very thought-provoking.
"Oh my, another fulfilling day."
Zhong Chen lay on the tatami in the living room, drinking leibi, and leisurely watching TV.
"Hey, what exactly have you been doing lately, always leaving early and coming back late?"
Misaki Ayuzawa, sitting on the sofa looking at her phone, asked without looking up.
"Little girl, do I need to report to you what I, your uncle, am doing?"
"You! Don't call yourself uncle!"
That's right, ever since Minako started treating him as her Younger Brother, this guy Zhong Chen began to refer to himself as 'uncle' in front of Misaki Ayuzawa.
And in front of Sha Nai, he still referred to himself as 'Older Brother,' which left Misaki Ayuzawa completely exasperated.
"I call Minako 'Sister.' Do you want to be in the same generation as Minako?"
"Damn it!!! Mom, look at him!"
Minako, who was washing dishes at the sink, watched the two bickering and smiled, saying:
"Misaki, Younger Brother Zhong Chen is right."
Hearing her mother say this, Misaki Ayuzawa immediately slumped weakly onto the sofa.
"How can this be? Even Mom is siding with this guy."
Looking at the listless Misaki Ayuzawa, Sha Nai Ayuzawa, who was studying a postcard, covered her mouth and let out her characteristic laugh again:
"Hoho, Older Sister is being punished by Older Brother Zhong Chen again..."
"Sha Nai!!!"
