Pressed the answer key, Xia Yu was curious about what Yu Ningmeng wanted to say.
Was there a problem with An Siyao? If so, why wouldn’t An Siyao speak directly to him?
He waited for Yu Ningmeng’s response.
Yu Ningmeng’s voice came through the phone: “Are you not planning to manage your company anymore?”
“Didn’t you take care of it?” Xia Yu countered.
Xia Yu had previously asked An Siyao, and found out that the company she had gifted him was still managed by Yu Ningmeng.
When he found out, Xia Yu felt a bit of regret, sighing that his business management level (LV3) had no use anymore.
“I used to manage it, but I don’t have time now. Take over tomorrow,” Yu Ningmeng’s words were sudden, and her tone was emotionless.
This made Xia Yu alert.
If Yu Ningmeng didn’t want to manage it, she could have let go of it when she handed it over to him. Suddenly transferring the burden without warning wasn’t a very ethical thing to do.
Something must have happened—was it An Tianfeng, or Yu Liang?
Yu Ningmeng seemed to have animosity towards An Tianfeng and wouldn’t listen to him. It was more likely that Yu Liang wanted to test his abilities, so he had Yu Ningmeng stop managing.
Xia Yu’s guess was correct. After observing for a while, Yu Liang noticed that Xia Yu and An Siyao not only showed no signs of breaking up, but An Siyao seemed to fall deeper. Yu Liang had already started preparing to interact with Xia Yu and used this opportunity to test his abilities.
Afraid that Xia Yu would ask too many questions and cause her to slip up, Yu Ningmeng hung up immediately after finishing her words.
Hearing the dial tone, Xia Yu put down the phone.
If it were before, he might have felt a bit nervous, but now with his business management level at LV3, he felt confident.
LV3 in business management wasn’t high, but it was sufficient for managing a small company worth less than a million. Plus, this company was under the care of the An family conglomerate, so there wouldn’t be many troubles.
He set his schedule on his phone and decided to go check it out at noon the next day.
As for the morning, Xia Yu planned to visit Xu Youxiang.
Before sleeping, Xia Yu first sent a message to Xu Youxiang, asking whether she wanted to play solo or doubles, and whether she wanted to experience it with his body.
Xu Youxiang quickly replied with a “no.”
Xia Yu didn’t mind much. He first went to sleep and, in the early hours of the next day, entered Xu Youxiang’s body.
Xu Youxiang was still in bed at that time.
It was September now, and the weather had already turned a bit chilly. Xu Youxiang was wearing a set of long-sleeved pajamas.
The pajamas were a bit rough, and the fabric rubbing against his skin made Xia Yu somewhat uncomfortable.
“Why are you wearing this kind of clothes?” Xia Yu asked.
“Because it’s cheap,” Xu Youxiang replied.
“Why care about the price? Buy a more comfortable one tomorrow,” Xia Yu, influenced by An Siyao, had already become very particular about his lifestyle.
“No one goes with me, and I don’t want to change to anything expensive,” Xu Youxiang answered.
“Why not?” Xia Yu became puzzled. “What about the maid?”
“I let her go,” Xu Youxiang said calmly.
“Why did you let the maid go?” Xia Yu asked.
Xu Youxiang didn’t respond.
Xia Yu quickly figured it out. The maid was assigned by An Siyao, and Xu Youxiang didn’t want to use anything belonging to An Siyao.
By using An Siyao’s belongings, Xu Youxiang felt she owed An Siyao something, making it inconvenient for her to act against Xia Yu.
Even after returning the maid, Xu Youxiang still felt somewhat indebted to An Siyao.
She regretted ever going to An Siyao’s villa. Xu Youxiang was troubled.
“I’ll hire a housekeeper for you,” Xia Yu said.
“Okay,” Xu Youxiang softly agreed.
“I’ll also give you some money. Use it as needed,” Xia Yu added.
At this moment, he felt a bit of a headache. His remaining funds were limited, and the mobile game wasn’t developed yet.
Maybe he should start another plan? Copy another small software?
Xu Youxiang didn’t respond directly. She told Xia Yu, “The money from the medicine you made is still with me. There’s a bank card in the drawer on your right hand side.”
Xia Yu used Xu Youxiang’s body to create the medicine for treating legs, so Yu Liang bought the research for the medicine from Xu Youxiang.
Yu Liang paid one hundred million yuan, and since the medicine still required many procedures to be released, one hundred million was already a fair price, considering middlemen were usually black-hearted merchants.
Xu Youxiang now had more money than Xia Yu.
“The password is your birthday. Take the card and transfer the money today,” Xu Youxiang continued.
Xia Yu took the bank card from the drawer. With this money, he could skip the stage of making money through gacha mobile games and directly proceed to develop a national mobile game.
Spinning the bank card between his fingers twice, Xia Yu placed it back into the drawer.
“Just keep it,” Xia Yu said.
“Keep it for what?” Xu Youxiang was somewhat surprised. She knew that Xia Yu’s family had originally been poor, and one hundred million wasn’t a simple number.
“You can consider it the money I gave you for keeping you,” Xia Yu said.
Previously, when Xia Yu first entered Xu Youxiang’s body, she kept calling him a perverted pedophile. Later, she priced herself at ten thousand, and Xia Yu used An Siyao’s ten thousand to buy her.
Xu Youxiang was silent for a moment before saying to Xia Yu, “I won’t do anything that causes disability.”
“What? Huh?”
Xia Yu was confused for two seconds before he finally understood what Xu Youxiang meant: “I’m not that perverted!”
“Nothing that causes death either,” Xu Youxiang added.
“I’m a normal person!” Xia Yu replied.
“If you don’t do perverted things, why give me a hundred million?” Xu Youxiang asked.
“How much I give is my choice. Don’t worry about it,” Xia Yu said firmly.
Actually, he wanted to take back part of it so that his funds wouldn’t be tight.
But taking part of it was one thing; taking or not taking was another concept entirely.
Xia Yu could sense that Xu Youxiang felt somewhat unhappy due to the difference in their statuses. He hoped that with this money, she would feel a bit better.
He raised his head and saw the sapphire crown placed by Xu Youxiang on the bedside table. The crown was inside a glass case.
Just as Xia Yu was about to ask Xu Youxiang why she put the crown inside the case, he felt something was off.
Looking around, he noticed that the bedroom environment had changed.
“Did you change dorms?” Xia Yu asked.
Xu Youxiang originally lived in a staff dormitory of Yu’s company, a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate.
“This is a rental. I moved out of the dormitory,” Xu Youxiang said.
“Why did you move out of the dormitory?” Xia Yu felt a sudden panic.
“I had a fight with someone,” Xu Youxiang said casually.
Xia Yu knew that although Xu Youxiang had a bit of a temper, she wouldn’t usually argue over trivial matters.
“Who was it?” Xia Yu asked, intending to inform An Siyao and have her complain to Yu Liang again.
Guessing Xia Yu’s intention, Xu Youxiang didn’t mention the name of the person involved. She didn’t want to take revenge in this way.
