Chapter 381: Chapter 359: Supplement

Chapter 359: Changing Plans, Arrangements

(Yesterday there was only one update, I’m very sorry. It’s not because I’m proud after more updates in the first three days, nor because there are fewer monthly votes and thus lacking motivation. It might be because it was too hot these past two days, and I got a little sunstroke yesterday. No appetite, no energy, sleepy and always drowsy, completely not in the zone, everything I wrote was a mess. After that, I slept for a long time, until this morning, and slept so much that my back hurt. But this morning, I feel great, maybe got enough sleep, made some porridge to drink, and while in good spirits, I’m hurrying to write. This Chapter is to make up for yesterday’s minimum update. Today, I’ll try to write hard, strive to complete the minimum update, and continue with 120, 150 additional updates. As for the monthly votes, just vote as you see fit. Now it’s at 154, not up to five updates, I’m not daring to hope it will reach 180. Thanks, everyone, for your support!)

It would be better to say that Wen Qianyi was annoyed by Li Yan rather than scared by him!

He’s a man in someone else’s bed. It should be the girl screaming, but he’s the one screaming like he’s been ganged up on by three people! And he’s grabbing her shoulder, shaking non-stop, what kind of person is this!

With Li Yan’s deliberate scream, the two of them were also awakened, and now everyone is truly facing each other head-on.

"Nothing happened? Could it be I had a nightmare?"

Li Yan appears just awoken from a big dream, unable to figure things out, stops shaking his hand but doesn’t let go, still holding Wen Qianyi’s smooth bare shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?"

Matsushima Kui and Shinohara Mirai rub their eyes hard, trying to figure out what’s going on, as they have just woken up and still don’t know what time it is, maybe they still think they are playing cards.

"Could you let go of your claw?" Wen Qianyi noticed his hand still gripping her, glancing sharply at her chest, couldn’t help but snort coldly, suspecting that his scream might have been intentional, wanting to take the opportunity to get close to her.

"Oh..." Li Yan let go of his hand, but his gaze didn’t leave.

"Hmph!" Wen Qianyi quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her exposed chest, while Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui finally reacted, a bit embarrassed as they hurriedly covered their bodies.

"Huh? Why are you guys on my bed? How did we all end up sleeping together?"

Maybe he was overacting, as soon as Li Yan said this, he felt Wen Qianyi pinch his thigh under the covers.

The atmosphere became a bit stagnant, Wen Qianyi felt awkward, while Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui were still trying to recall what happened last night.

The effect Li Yan wanted was achieved, so he gave his "closing statement": "I remember... last night I was helping Mirai drink, and you both lost, one cup each, I had two cups, maybe I just got drunk! I didn’t expect to fall asleep here, so embarrassing, did you guys get drunk too? I didn’t do anything uncivilized, right?"

"No!" Matsushima Kui and Shinohara Mirai quickly said.

Shinohara Mirai was drunk at the time, not knowing the situation, all her reactions were natural bodily responses, and in her mind, she only has a dream-like memory.

Since he said it so openly, Wen Qianyi was basically confirmed that he really didn’t know, and together with everyone was muddled and fell asleep. But why they arranged themselves so well and covered up, was probably just an instinctive coincidence.

Now that things have come to this, saying more is useless, and she couldn’t say much more either, seeing that the two of them didn’t know if they hadn’t realized it or didn’t care, in any case, wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. She could only say, "If you continue staying here, that would be uncivilized! Go back, we need to get up and change!"

Li Yan smiled, crawled out of the bed, then stepped over the two of them to jump to the ground. During the whole process, since he was only wearing a pair of underwear, his entire body was in their line of sight, making them see everything but act as if they hadn’t seen anything.

...

Li Yan got dressed and then went back to his room to wash up. By the time everyone was up, it was already noon, so no one needed breakfast, and they went straight to lunch.

"We originally planned to go to Akihabara and see the digital exhibition today, but now it’s already..." Matsushima Kui smiled wryly, indicating it was already too late, suggesting that if they drive over, perhaps they can still see it for a bit in the afternoon.

"Wouldn’t that be a shame? I wanted to see the show girls!" Li Yan looked regretful.

Shinohara Mirai quickly said, "It’s okay, let’s hurry after eating."

Although everyone was eating together, ostensibly smoothing over the awkwardness of the night together, Wen Qianyi still couldn’t remain unfazed, "You guys go in the afternoon! I’ll stay here, as I have to prepare for tomorrow’s company visit, you all have fun."

The two of them listened to Wen Qianyi, looked at her, since they weren’t familiar or understanding enough, didn’t know what to say, and turned to Li Yan.

Li Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, that makes sense, I also think I can’t always be playing, let’s sort out the important business first, and then have a good time!"

"You’re saying..."

"Forget it, I won’t go either. This afternoon, we’re going to meet President Inoue!"

Li Yan’s surprising words made all three of them, including Wen Qianyi, look at him. Not going today and visiting the company tomorrow was what Li Yan himself planned just yesterday when they arrived. Why the sudden change now?

"Let me be frank, I’ve talked about this with Qianyi as well." Li Yan nodded to Shinohara Mirai.

Shinohara Mirai glanced at Wen Qianyi. After a day of interaction, especially last night’s shopping and entertainment, she was more accepting of Wen Qianyi, no longer treating her as a stranger. She nodded in understanding, waiting for Li Yan to continue.

"Yesterday, I mentioned going to the company tomorrow because our imagined enemy, Inoue Hideichiro, would want to know our moves. So we started by playing around to confuse them. However, this effect was already achieved last night."

Li Yan looked at each of them with a smile, but his gaze was focused on Matsushima Kui, noticing her body shuddered slightly.

"Besides, I already have some arrangements in place, just waiting for you to lead the way."

Li Yan did not elaborate, leaving them somewhat puzzled. Wen Qianyi, who knew him better, saw his confidence and realized he wasn’t joking, believing that he indeed had plans, despite not understanding completely. Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui exchanged glances.

"Li Yan... I trust you, but... we may not necessarily see President Inoue... because, perhaps, it might just be a section chief meeting us..."

Shinohara Mirai said with a flushed face, speaking so much in her stammering Yun language was indeed quite taxing.

Everyone understood the underlying message. The Paradise Group is not a small company, but its business scope and influence are mainly in Yun Country, and on Cloud Island, its influence diminishes. Not to mention here in Beihai Country? Previously, Zhang Tianyi found the Shinohara Corporation to expand the overseas market through collaboration, starting with Beihai Country to influence the Li Country and Lan Island regions.

But Zhang Tianyi’s "mission was aborted prematurely," well, not that serious, he hasn’t died, just physically collapsed, and has not made great strides in international market development, which now falls on Zhang Yurong to accomplish. Thus, currently, Paradise Group seeks more extensive and significant cooperation with Shinohara Corporation, while for Shinohara, Paradise is a company of equivalent strength but currently only a small-scale customer.

The primary reason for their quick progression this time is due to Shinohara Mirai’s influence. But respect can be given, some priority too, ultimately, when it comes to business, everything follows the rules and norms.

For her candidness, Li Yan and Wen Qianyi exchanged smiles.

"Hehe, Mirai, don’t worry. I and Li Yan’s positions in the company are just managers; we don’t expect President Inoue to personally meet us." Wen Qianyi said with a smile.

The president is equivalent to the chairman, the chairperson of the board, while the president is the CEO or general manager level, naturally not to meet a small-time client supervisor.

"Sorry." Shinohara Mirai apologized and bowed, as if it was her fault. She realized that she has no official position in the company, only because she is the president’s daughter. When arriving in Yun Country, the president of Paradise Group personally came to greet due to her father’s call, so she felt a bit guilty about the inadequate courtesy extended to them.

"NO, NO, NO!"

Li Yan suddenly shook his head.

"What now?" Wen Qianyi glared at him.

Li Yan said seriously, "What I mean is, we’re going to see Inoue Hideichiro, not at the company, but at his home. Of course, if you can arrange for us to meet him directly in the president’s office, that’s fine too. But today’s purpose is not business; we don’t need to meet any section chief; it’s for your father!"

Shinohara Mirai and Matsushima Kui opened their eyes wide.

"I... I can... I can continuously arrange... I will!" Shinohara Mirai was a bit excited. Her greatest hope is to find her father back. Now, she’s increasingly worried. Hearing there’s a way, she’s naturally moved.

Though she was concerned and unsettled, Matsushima Kui was calmer, asking, "Mirai, in a private capacity, should be able to contact President Inoue, but under what pretext are we visiting? What do we do when we meet him? Question him?"

They turned their gaze back to Li Yan, hoping for his answer.

"You don’t need to know too much, but rest assured, I’m a gentleman and won’t use violence on Inoue Hideichiro. Now, follow my plan, Mirai, come over!" Li Yan mysteriously beckoned.

Shinohara Mirai hurried to his side, leaning her ear closer.

"Arrange for us the car we used yesterday, let the driver head to Akihabara. Don’t need too much speed; choose bustling routes that are easy for car racing," Li Yan whispered softly, audible only to the two of them. After saying, he even kissed her earlobe.

"Huh?... Oh." Shinohara Mirai was a bit perplexed but nodded in agreement. His whispering in her ear, magnetic voice, and the hot breath made her heart rate increase slightly. Finally, when her earlobe was kissed, she was shocked, her face turning red quickly. This was in front of Miss Wen, and he was indeed bold...

As she was about to leave, Li Yan quickly added, "Not done yet. Call Inoue Hideichiro immediately, have him go to this place..." Li Yan gave a D City’s address, then continued, "Finally, hire another driver, use an ordinary car, also take us there to meet Inoue."

So complex... But for her father, Shinohara Mirai was now fully focused, remembering everything.

"Done?"

"Done." Li Yan watched her walk away, blushing, then beckoned Wen Qianyi with a finger, "Qianyi, your turn..."
