Because of Lin Yi's sudden arrival, Mi Yuan Yingzi's work time was delayed by two hours.
"It's all your fault!"
Mi Yuan Yingzi looked at the wall clock. It was already four in the afternoon, and she hadn't even finished half of her housekeeping work. This time, she definitely wouldn't be able to complete it.
"It's too late!"
Her strong sense of professionalism made her cry with a guilty conscience, just like a child who hadn't finished their summer homework before school started, wailing loudly.
"It's okay if you can't finish it."
Lin Yi didn't care as he helped Mi Yuan Yingzi comb her hair. Frankly, he especially liked Mi Yuan Yingzi's hair: "At worst, we'll just pay him some money. I've made a lot of money recently."
"How can that be okay?" Mi Yuan Yingzi said unhappily, "You must do what you promised others!"
"Yeah… you're right," Lin Yi took out his phone and said, "Since one person can't finish it, we'll just call a few more people over."
Mi Yuan Yingzi hurriedly stopped him: "Let's just forget about it… I'll discuss it with the homeowner, he should…"
Before Mi Yuan Yingzi could finish speaking, Lin Yi interrupted her: "Discuss what? I absolutely can't let my woman lower herself and apologize to others!"
If they could, who would be willing to lower themselves and apologize to others?
Lin Yi's domineering CEO style immediately moved Mi Yuan Yingzi.
As he spoke, Lin Yi dialed the housekeeping service center and asked them to send a few more quick and efficient housekeepers over: "What? You need to make an appointment in advance? I'm in a hurry right now, can you help me solve this problem… You want to double the price? No problem, send five people over… Pay first? No problem, but they must arrive within twenty minutes and clean everything before six o'clock."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi placed the order and paid.
"Alright."
Lin Yi touched her nose and said, "Someone will be responsible for the cleaning next. You don't have to worry about it."
"This… it's very expensive, right? Double the wages for five people…" Mi Yuan Yingzi said with some heartache.
"Spending money to buy your time is super worthwhile!" Lin Yi said.
Sweet words afterward always made girls especially happy, and Mi Yuan Yingzi was no exception.
Just then, Lin Yi's phone rang. He answered it and found that it was the clerk from the coffee shop who had called, saying that a cute little girl was looking for him.
"Let's go, let's go to dinner!"
The bad things that needed to be done here had already been done, and someone would be taking over the cleaning work later, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
So, Lin Yi took Mi Yuan Yingzi away and returned to Ginza, where Xiao Ai was buying clothes.
Seeing Ai Haibara chatting with the saleswoman in the coffee shop, Lin Yi was quite surprised. Ai Haibara's hands were empty, without a single bag, and she was still wearing that sailor suit.
When the saleswoman saw Lin Yi, she originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Mibara Sakurako, she had to give up the idea, smiled, greeted him, and went back.
Lin Yi curiously asked Ai Haibara, "Have you been shopping for so long? Didn't you find anything you liked?"
"I barely found a few sets that I liked…" Ai Haibara replied, then began to size up Mibara Sakurako beside Lin Yi.
"Then where are your bags?" Lin Yi asked.
"I had them sent directly home." Ai Haibara said matter-of-factly, then looked at Lin Yi with a strange expression. "What era is it now… You can pay a little money to have people deliver things to your door."
"…"
Oh right, why didn't I think of that?
Lin Yi couldn't help but slap his forehead. Didn't that mean he had been a tool for nothing several times before?
"Lin Yi, is she your younger sister?"
Mibara Sakurako looked at the cute little girl with some curiosity.
"She's a friend's younger sister, temporarily staying at my house, her name is Ai Haibara." Lin Yi gave a rough introduction.
"Ai Haibara, hello." Mibara Sakurako showed an approachable smile. "My name is Mibara Sakurako, Lin Yi's girlfriend! Nice to meet you."
"Hello, Big Sister Mibara, nice to meet you too."
Her identity was not unexpected to Ai Haibara. Considering that she would have to live with her in the future, Ai Haibara had to try to get close to her.
"Let's go, let's go eat dinner!" Lin Yi said.
"Go eat dinner now?" Mibara Sakurako looked at the time. "It's not even five o'clock yet."
"If we eat dinner early, then we can eat a midnight snack earlier."
Lin Yi held a girl with each hand, and felt like he was back on top of the world.
— — — — — — — —
Sky-Lounge Western Restaurant, located next to the Skytree.
At night, dining next to the glass wall, you can not only enjoy the night sky, but also view the Skytree, and below is a bustling district.
Just from this prime location, you can tell how expensive it is to dine here.
Moreover, there was no problem with him swiping 4.21 million from his bank card in one go.
Currently, it seems that he doesn't seem to intend to take back this bank card.
This guy — — — — is quite generous.
On their first meeting, the other party was willing to spend so much money on her.
This made Ai Haibara put another "generous" label on Lin Yi, and her impression of him also increased by a few points.
Why generous, and not rich?
Because Ai Haibara is someone who has seen the world, a mere four million is nothing to her. She has hundreds of millions of yen in her bank card, all of which were rewards issued by the organization when conducting drug research.
I won't describe in detail what was eaten at the Western restaurant, back and forth it was nothing more than those few things, steak, caviar, champagne, etc.
Going to a Western restaurant for dinner is to enjoy the atmosphere, to show off that you are rich, and to have better conversations.
Lin Yi chose a Western restaurant this time because he wanted to have a good conversation with Mibara Sakurako.
Last time they left in a hurry, and there were many things he didn't have time to say.
Now that he has the opportunity, of course he wants to say them.
Lin Yi said bluntly: "I'm planning to open a coffee shop with a friend recently, but I can't find someone I can trust to manage it… Sakurako, can you come and help me?"
"Eh? Me?" Mibara Sakurako felt it was so sudden, she repeatedly shook her head and refused: "I can't. I don't even know how to be a store manager."
"It's okay, you can just go to a training course when the time comes."
"But… I'm afraid I'm not capable enough, let's forget it."
"Ability is not the problem, trust is the key. I can't trust other people to be the store manager, only you, I can feel at ease leaving the coffee shop to you to manage."
"But I…"
Mibara Sakurako was still a little worried. She is a responsible person, and she would not easily agree to things she was not sure she could do well.
Seeing Mibara Sakurako hesitating, Lin Yi changed his approach: "How about this? You can work for a period of time first, and try it out… Then we'll see what happens."
"Then… okay."
When Mibara Sakurako heard that she still had a way out, she nodded and agreed to give it a try.
