Chapter 54
Meeting tomorrow morning?
Fine by me—I'll probe them before he arrives.
Tonight works perfectly to settle another matter.
With that thought, Ye Yu immediately sent a message to Kimura.
"Ye Yu-oniichan, what's wrong? Why are you staring at your phone like that?"
Seeing Kurumi's slightly seductive little expression, Ye Yu inwardly cried: Little vixen!
Ye Yu turned around and directly pulled her into his arms…
…
Kazuya was walking down the street with a bespectacled man whose teeth resembled a hamster's.
This was Kuribayashi Shun, the friend he'd made after coming to Nerima University.
At the moment, Kazuya was still complaining nonstop.
"Kuririn, why do I have to treat again? This time it should be your turn!"
Meanwhile, Kuririn smiled without a trace of embarrassment.
He casually draped an arm around Kazuya's neck.
"Come on, don't be like that—we're best friends! Wait till I get my part-time paycheck next month. I'll definitely treat you to a big meal!"
Kazuya rolled his eyes inwardly.
This guy had only known him for a short time, yet already acted like they were super close!
But being the nice guy he was, Kazuya couldn't bring himself to refuse.
While he was thinking about how to handle this meal—
Suddenly he felt his body lose control, staggering forward as if about to fall.
Kuririn, seeing this, reached out to catch him.
But then something even stranger happened— Kuririn felt his own body being pushed forward, running uncontrollably.
"Aaaahhh!!"
Both of them let out a scream and crashed straight into someone.
Crash…
The sound of porcelain shattering on the ground rang out.
Kazuya and Kuririn fell heavily to the floor.
"Owww! What the hell just happened?"
"It felt like someone pushed us!"
Kazuya was dazed from the fall, his arm throbbing with pain.
Kuririn fared a bit better—his glasses were shattered, but he wasn't seriously hurt.
"You two bastards! You broke my family heirloom!"
A low, angry shout rang out.
Kazuya looked up and saw Ye Yu staring at him coldly.
F-Family heirloom??
Kazuya hurriedly raised his head. Sure enough, right in front of him lay a pile of broken porcelain fragments.
What terrified him even more was that—even from the pieces— it was obvious this thing was incredibly valuable. Combined with the man calling it a "family heirloom"…
Both he and Kuririn struggled to their feet and bowed deeply to Ye Yu.
"We're so sorry! Really sorry—we didn't mean to!"
"How much is it? We'll definitely pay for it!"
Ye Yu looked at the two men bowing deeply before him, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.
Of course he had controlled them to deliberately crash into him. The reason was simple:
He wanted Kazuya to owe him a massive debt, then work for him just like Fuutarou.
"You absolutely have to pay. This is my family heirloom."
With that, Ye Yu handed the appraisal document to Kazuya.
When he saw the number on it, he nearly fainted.
He tried counting the zeros slowly several times, but the result was always the same.
Finally, trembling, he looked up at Ye Yu.
"B-Bro… did you write this wrong? This is 500 million??"
Beside him, the silent Kuririn couldn't hold back anymore.
He snatched the appraisal sheet and stared at the number in utter disbelief.
"Impossible… absolutely impossible! 500 million?! What kind of thing costs 500 million?!"
Ye Yu directly grabbed Kuririn's clothes with one hand, looking at him playfully.
"Are you saying I'm extorting you? Can't you read the appraisal?"
Then he effortlessly lifted Kuririn's skinny body with one hand.
"N-No! Bro, please don't misunderstand…"
Kuririn was so scared he nearly wet himself.
Seeing this, Kazuya immediately rushed over to pull Ye Yu away.
Ye Yu disdainfully tossed him to the ground, then made a phone call.
Soon, several staff members from Yuka Education rushed over from nearby.
"President, what do you need?"
Ye Yu directly handed the appraisal sheet to one of them.
"These two brats broke my family heirloom. Take them back first. If they have money, make them pay. If not, they stay and work off the debt!"
With that, he ignored them completely and turned to leave.
Kazuya and Kuririn still wanted to say something, but they were firmly pinned down by three men.
"Kid, you break the President's treasure and still want to run? Come with us!"
"You try to run and I'll call the cops. Damn it, I'm already busy enough—you're just adding more trouble!"
"Pick up those heirloom fragments too. That's evidence of their crime."
Kazuya and Kuririn were dumbfounded.
This guy who looked about the same age as them… was the president?
Could that porcelain really be worth 500 million?!
Listening to the two of them pleading tearfully, Ye Yu felt immense satisfaction inside.
Kazuya was mentally ill—indecisive in love, and even capable of paying for his own girlfriend to work as a rental girlfriend for his best friend.
So toward him, Ye Yu displayed maximum "kindness."
Not only did he find Kazuya a stable iron rice bowl job, he also solved his romantic troubles at the root.
A real man should accomplish great things in this world. Why waste time on childish love affairs!
Rest assured—your wife will be taken care of by me!
Inside the Sli Group building.
Lapis sat on the sofa, legs crossed arrogantly.
"Sis, tomorrow I'll go negotiate the acquisition with that Yuka Education bunch.
What a bunch of damn peasants—making me come in person! If he doesn't know what's good for him tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude!"
Hearing her hot-headed little brother's rant, Lazuli felt a twinge of impatience.
She sat in her chair, gently stroking her cheek with one jade hand.
Then she looked at him expressionlessly and spoke in a calm tone.
"If something can be solved with money, don't do unnecessary things. The group's next strategic step is to enter the education sector.
Yuka Education is small-scale, but it can quickly attract a large number of clients through this new format. It's especially suitable for our upcoming business expansion. So tomorrow, you must secure it for me."
"Got it!"
Lapis replied irritably, then turned and left.
But in his heart, the other party was just a bunch of lowly peasants. Did they even deserve his money?
Meanwhile, Ye Yu—who had successfully framed Kazuya—found a secluded spot and instantly teleported.
The next second he appeared back home.
But unexpectedly—
The moment he arrived, he felt his face buried in something soft.
Soft, fragrant, and incredibly elastic.
Then he looked up and saw a familiar face staring at him in utter disbelief.
Looking at the bangs covering her eyes, the familiar fringe, and the headphones, Ye Yu's mind went blank for a second.
This was… Miku-style face-washing service??
