"With that level of sleep, it's impossible to fall asleep."
"...That's true, but this time they really didn't do anything to them."
"That maid was indeed very considerate."
Huanlong glanced at Liu Bai.
To be fair, these people are Liu Bai's weaknesses.
...Hmph, they don't know how to hide their weaknesses at all.
After this matter is settled, I might be able to use these people to threaten this man and thus gain covert control over the Interstellar Peace Company.
Huanlong fanned himself, his eyes half-closed in contentment.
"...Huanlong, don't you feel cold?"
Liu Bai asked with some curiosity.
"cold?"
Huanlong slightly opened her eyes and glanced at herself, then squinted her eyes again.
The next moment, a fan identical to the one Huanlong had appeared beside Liu Bai.
"If you want to fan yourself, just do it yourself. There's no need to beat around the bush—like you're talking about vulgar topics."
But that's a vulgar topic...
Liu Bai looked at Huanlong's body, which was now completely stripped bare.
...Simple and straightforward, that's awesome.
It would be even better if it could grow to the size of a BOSS here.
After all, if it's just about size, there are already many people in this niche, and even with the "bad girl" attribute, the competition is still relatively low.
However, the term "evil woman giant girl" is quite competitive.
Of course, I still have to say something—
Hypnosis is amazing!
"Then give me a recliner too."
"Tsk."
With a light tap of her fan, Huanlong replaced the chair Liu Bai was sitting on with a reclining chair.
...Although it was a dream, I could still feel sleepy in the dream.
It's amazing.
……
"BOSS, BOSS, it's time to wake up."
"Forehead……"
Liu Bai got out of bed, feeling somewhat heavy.
"Rita... no, Emerald?"
"Did I bother you?"
Jade sat on the edge of the bed. "Although I don't want to bother you at this time, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon."
"what……"
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, which quickly brought him back to his senses.
"It's this time already?"
Liu Bai subconsciously lifted the blanket, but then remembered something and quickly covered it back up.
...Wait a minute, I think I was wearing pajamas last night.
Liu Bai glanced at the pajamas he had taken out of the pot and then pulled the blanket back off.
"Yes, it seems you've accumulated quite a bit of fatigue these past few days."
Jade revealed a slightly mocking smile.
"...It's not so much that I was exhausted, but rather that I slept soundly."
Liu Bai rubbed his temples.
Although I was a little tired when I first woke up, my body felt lighter after I recovered.
"That's really thanks to Miss Rita. Neither I nor anyone else noticed that."
Actually, it's all thanks to Huanlong.
—Liu Bai can probably understand why Li Shimin slept so soundly after he had Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde guarding the gate.
It really does have a protective effect on the mind.
...I felt like Huanlong just gave a cold snort, was it just my imagination?
"Contributing to the collective is not tiring."
Liu Bai made a joke.
Emerald smiled politely and said, "Miss Mei has prepared a meal. I'll bring it to you."
"This is troublesome... Wait a minute, Mei?"
"Yes, Ms. Raiden Mei, Ms. Yomi will supervise."
...What kind of scene is this now?
Liu Bai couldn't quite imagine it.
After a while, Emerald brought over breakfast...lunch.
"Is there anything I need to handle today?"
"I have already processed the official documents sent by Liyue and Inazuma. You just need to review them, and if there are no problems, you can send them back."
Jade has a very reliable opening.
Neither Estádio, Rita, nor Kaffa had ever possessed this level of decisiveness before.
Hmm... wait a minute, is the secretary position about to change hands again?
Well, it can't be said that she changed hands; Estádio was indeed taken away.
Rita has now secured her position as a personal assistant—that is, the head maid.
Kafka alone lacks competitiveness beyond temperament.
"Then we need to deal with the official appointments. The first is that Ms. Funina would like to invite you to a tea party, and the second is that Ms. Karen would like to invite you to dinner tonight."
"Just these two?"
Is it all about having meals with pretty girls?
...Okay, neither of them can really be called a beautiful "young" girl.
“Your private arrangements are not recorded in official documents.”
Jade also laughed and made a joke.
However, Jade also knew what Liu Bai wanted to ask.
"Ms. Furnessa is probably going to have further discussions about Destiny, or it could simply be to build a relationship. Considering the significance of Fontaine, I don't recommend refusing."
Jade helped with the analysis.
"As for Ms. Karen, it is definitely about building a relationship. Considering your private relationship with Ms. Karen, if you already have a private appointment, you can refuse or postpone it."
So, in summary, it's all about building relationships, right?
"Furina's tea party...is it afternoon tea? What time does it start?"
"The banquet will be at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner will be at six o'clock."
"Isn't it too tight?"
Afternoon tea is not just about drinking tea; various tea snacks are also an essential part of it.
A tea party that starts at 4 o'clock...it's normal for it to end at 5 o'clock, right?
Then I have to go at six o'clock...
"You don't have to eat all you want."
Jade really understands what Liu Bai wants to ask.
"……Too."
Upon thinking about it, Liu Bai couldn't help but laugh.
Afternoon tea doesn't have to be all-you-can-eat.
"Also, you can bring Miss Rita with you for afternoon tea. After all, in terms of status, you can consider her as your maid."
"Thank you for reminding me. Please tell them for me."
Liu Bai had never attended afternoon tea, a gathering that was rarely attended by people from China. It would be perfect if someone like Rita, who seemed to be very good at this, could help him.
"I will, and you don't need to be too nervous."
Emerald nodded. "Ms. Funina wasn't trying to embarrass you."
If Liu Bai were to accidentally embarrass himself at this tea party, Funina, Clarinde, and Navia would probably all have to transform into maids and desperately try to salvage the situation.
...This is also a kind of "weak countries have no diplomacy" in a sense.
Jade estimates that this tea party will feature a large selection of pastries and tea, while keeping the etiquette simple.
It might even be simplified to the point where Liu Bai only needs to sit there eating and drinking.
Having Rita accompany them was just a backup plan; after all, since they had given them enough face, they had to reciprocate with some face in return.
Well, in this situation, simply giving a little bit in return is enough to make the other party extremely grateful.
"Then let's eat less this time."
Liu Bai sighed.
Eating at 1 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM... it's still a bit tight.
On the other hand, after the dinner, I could discuss Eleanor's matter with Karen.
"By the way, if I want to take Karen away for a while after the dinner, do I need to report it or something?"
Today there are two formal meals, so Liu Bai suddenly became a little more interested in the formalities.
"It depends on how long you're going to be gone. If it's just for a short while, no need. But if it's for the whole night, I personally recommend informing Ms. Cecilia to avoid any unnecessary and embarrassing misunderstandings."
Jade replied succinctly.
"I'll let you know anyway—but it's not what you're thinking."
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Jade smiled calmly.
“I understand. I will inform Ms. Cecilia in a moment… Also, please be prepared. I recommend that you dress formally for the tea party and dinner.”
Clothing...
"So you mean I have to wear a flying robe?"
Liu Bai doesn't actually wear that kind of thing very often anymore.
Once you put that thing on, the allure of the 12 is simply irresistible, tempting you to commit a crime.
"Well..."
Jade hesitated for a moment, which was unusual for her.
How should I put it? It's a bit of a foul.
Although he exudes a cool and confident aura, he gives off the impression of being there to pick up girls.
"...That's fine. Then you don't need to wear a tuxedo or anything like that outside. Just wear a loose-fitting traditional Chinese garment."
