Therefore, as a reliable elder, the driver still hoped that Hitotsu Amber could show herself well.

After all, according to the rumors I've heard... the real head of the Kotobuki Group, Shinichi Kotobuki, who has always been a carefree and leisurely person, seems to have recently returned to Tokyo...

However, Amber seemed not to understand the driver's implication: "I'm going to a business event to hand out invitations, why do I need to be so cute... Driver, please don't give me random advice, you're acting like an old man..."

"I'm just a worrier old man, I'm getting old, little Amber, can you understand?"

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Fei Tu Hu Po jumped out of the car and looked up at the building that barely seemed unreachable.

She had never been to Tokyo Skytree, but she had heard that you could get a panoramic view of Tokyo from the top of Tokyo Skytree.

Imagine being on the rooftop of such a tall building as the Kotobuki Tower, peering out the window to admire Tokyo.

Then it has to take off, right?

First update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 271 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

At the Kotobuki Building, Ms. Qiantian, who is in charge of the front desk, had her eyelids twitching non-stop early this morning.

Although at Kotobuki Building, there are all sorts of strange and bizarre things happening every day, like people proposing to acquire Texas or deciding to build a ski resort in Africa... she's seen a lot of weird and wonderful things.

However, the situation was completely different today. Her eyes twitched uneasily, and this intense sense of unease was something she was experiencing for the first time.

"Ah... I should have taken the day off." The receptionist looked up at the 10-meter-high ceiling in the lobby. "Now I can only hope that with this rainy weather, not many people will come..."

But before the receptionist could finish speaking, the girl's voice came from in front of the counter.

"Hey beautiful, could you please make an appointment with the patent application department for me? I need to apply for a patent for my horse racing suit."

Narcissus, whose real name is Narcissus, was indeed a narcissistic man... but other than that, Narcissus was also a very talented designer and a handsome man.

Of course, this is also why the women in the parent company generally don't like Narcissus... You're not a woman, yet you're not only prettier than most women, but your temperament is also better than the vast majority of women.

She's so arrogant and always manages to outshine everyone else wherever she goes... Tell me, what girl in the world could stand that kind of attitude?

The receptionist encountered such an unapproachable figure as soon as she arrived at work, and could only sigh – her incessant twitching right eye was indeed not without reason.

Of course, knowing that Narcissus was a formidable figure, the receptionist dared not show any expression that might offend him. With a professional smile, she looked down at the computer and checked the information before saying, "According to my search, it seems that the patent department is not currently handling any other work. No appointment is needed; you can go directly there."

“Oh, that’s good.” Narcissus yawned, looking like he’d stayed up all night, and not just one night. “I… hate waiting for others. Okay, I’m coming over now.”

After seeing Narcissus off, the receptionist closed her eyes, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and even patted her chest gently. Finally, she'd gotten rid of that charming yet troublesome guy. Should her bad luck finally be over?

Today is another hopeful day...

"Nice smile, keep it up. And did something happy happen to you?"

A soft, sweet girl's voice rang out, but to the receptionist, it sounded like the most terrifying demonic sound. Hearing this voice, she would rather continue dealing with Narcissus.

"Good morning, Mr. President! The weather is really nice today."

Because there are too many presidents with the surname Kotobuki in the Kotobuki Foundation, in order to improve work efficiency, everyone usually addresses their leaders by their first names and omits their surnames when they see them at the company.

This woman, Kotobuki, is usually referred to as "President" or "Ms."

At this moment, the incredibly beautiful CEO, Kotobuki, raised her somewhat comical little eyebrows and asked in confusion, "But isn't it raining outside? So why are you so happy?"

"Oh, right... I'm happy that everyone was present today and no one was late."

"Wow, you're such a kind person."

Kotobuki was touched by the kindness of the receptionist. "But I don't really care about everyone's check-in status. Has 'that' come yet?"

The receptionist naturally understood that the "that" her boss was referring to was the invitation to the festival in Central Treson. These past few days, her boss had asked about it almost every morning, noon, and night, and she was almost numb to it.

"It seems we didn't receive an invitation from Central Treson today either. But, Mr. President, as Treson's global partner and supplier, don't you already have VIP passes? You can just use your pass to get in."

Kotobuki looked bored after hearing this: "That's so boring... I just wanted to experience the fun of going with an invitation."

The receptionist shrugged.

"Well, I'll go up first then. If a horse girl named Hitoko Amber brings over an invitation, please give it to me as soon as possible."

"No, you already know who Treson's messenger is... can't you just go to her directly? Or send us to get it?"

"That wouldn't be fun! Everyone else has it, so I want it too!"

The receptionist watched her boss, who still had a childlike heart, walk away, then lowered her head helplessly, feeling utterly exhausted.

In just half an hour, God has already tormented her twice. Shouldn't she have had enough fun and get some rest?

"By the way, is working at the front desk really that tiring? Or did you spend yesterday with your boyfriend and not get enough rest?"

Just then, a deep male voice rang out. Without even looking up, the receptionist could picture a handsome older man in her mind.

The owner of the voice was indeed a handsome older man. The receptionist gave up struggling and looked up at the person in front of her.

There's a saying online that men in their fifties are the most charming, and the man in front of me is just like that. In his fifties, his face is full of stories and vicissitudes. His slightly silvery hair is neatly combed into a slicked-back style, and his skin is very well maintained. For a man in his fifties or sixties, his skin looks like that of a man in his thirties or forties. His light pink suit has a nonchalant air about it, and it fits his tall and straight body perfectly. A bright red scarf is tucked into his chest, like a blooming rose.

Most people, upon seeing such a handsome old man, would surely be tempted to take a good look. But the receptionist showed no interest whatsoever; instead, she appeared utterly exhausted.

"Welcome home, Mr. Shinichi. The President just went upstairs."

"Oh, I'll go say hello in a bit... I hope she won't kick me out." Kotobuki Makoto leaned closer to the front desk, resting his elbow on the counter, and asked casually, "By the way, has the horse-girl messenger who delivered the cherry blossom festival invitations from Treson arrived yet? Has she already finished drinking?"

The receptionist shook her head slightly: "No... not yet."

At this moment, even a receptionist like her, who had seen countless people and was no longer curious about them, couldn't help but become interested in that horse girl.

A horse girl who can make two big shots like Kotobuki and Shinichi Kotobuki so eager to be together... she can be described as a horse girl who is specifically targeting Kotobuki.

What kind of person is he?

At that very moment, a crimson figure appeared outside the large glass windows of the Kotobuki Building.

The girl was muttering to herself, as if she were reciting something.

Then... perhaps it was because their own crystal glass was polished too brightly.

The girl crashed into it with a "bang," and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the floor-to-ceiling window, which was more for decoration than practical use.

"Click..."

"Crash..."

"Whoa, how did the glass break?!"

The second update is coming!

Sorry for the long wait!

Please please please please

Chapter 272 Strange Uncle: Want to get to know my son?

Hitoko Amber never expected that Kotobuki Toru, who hadn't come with her for the first time, would make such a fool of herself at someone else's doorstep.

Strictly speaking, this doesn't even qualify as someone else's "door"; she actually "opened" a door in someone else's windowpane.

"What? My head's pretty hard."

Fei Tu Hu Po stood there, staring at the rustling shards of glass falling, thinking to herself.

If you break the glass, you'll have to pay for it. And with such a big company and such a large piece of glass, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford any late-night snacks this month.

While Hitoko was lost in thought, the staff of the Kotobuki Group reacted much faster. Upon seeing Hitoko break through the window, they rushed towards her without hesitation.

"Are you okay?"

After all, she is the receptionist representing the company's image, so her professionalism is top-notch. Moreover, as a top-tier corporation, the Kotobuki Foundation prioritizes the health and safety of its clients over the condition of the windows.

Fei Tu Hu Po was first startled by the broken glass, and then by the sudden appearance of the enthusiastic receptionist. Her voice was somewhat flustered as she said, "No...it's nothing."

After finishing her reply and calming the other person down, Fei Tu Hu Po remembered to check her own condition to see if she had been cut by the glass.

She raised her arm to look at her hands, then felt around from head to toe.

Kotobuki Foundation uses top-quality materials. The glass is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also safe in case of accidental breakage. Even after being shattered, the edges of the broken glass pieces are rounded and blunted.

So apart from her bangs being a little messy, she was fine.

"Yes, everything is fine."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The receptionist gently patted her chest, giving up all struggle. Today she had encountered all sorts of extreme situations. First, she ran into a difficult colleague, then the company's big boss came incognito, and there were two of them at once. Now she had someone break in through the window. She had basically experienced everything in the staff handbook!

Fortunately, the company's glass is made of sturdy materials, and this Ms. Ma is quite resilient and didn't get injured. Otherwise, she would have had to take a quiz on emergency injury treatment.

Looking at the beautiful, dazzling light and shadow on the ground, Fei Tu Hu Po said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't see the glass clearly when I was walking. I thought it was openwork... and I bumped into it. How much would it cost to compensate for this glass?"

Before the receptionist could even speak, an uncle carrying a broom and a garbage truck walked over, looked Fei Tu Hu Po up and down, and then waved his hand dismissively.

"It's just a piece of glass, I'll take care of this for you."

Fei Tu Hu Po was taken aback, then winked at Xia Jie, the receptionist: "Our company is really extravagant... Are even the cleaning staff this rich?"

The receptionist looked pitifully and helplessly at her wealthy and powerful boss, then at Hiruko Amber, who was mistaking Kotobuki Shinichi for a cleaner. Was it too late to ask the boss for leave and run away?

Is it too late for me to run away now and ask my boss for leave?

The receptionist was already debating whether or not to properly explain the true identity of this "cleaner" uncle to Fei Tu Hu Po.

However, Shinichi Kotobuki chuckled, showing no displeasure at being treated like a cleaner. "Since I've done you such a big favor, how about you do me a small favor in return?"

"Huh?" Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head slightly. "What kind of help?"

Shinichi Kotobuki shook his head with a wry smile: "I have a son who is almost 30 years old and only recently found a stable job... He urgently needs someone to marry him, and you happen to be my wife... I think it's a good match."

Fei Tu Hu Po's face darkened, and she bared her teeth at the desperate old man: "I don't think so!"

Are you kidding me? People actually want to tie a red string for themselves these days?

"Well, well..." The handsome uncle was also a little discouraged. "You can tell from my appearance that my son is not bad looking."

"I don't care about looks. Whether someone is good-looking or ugly... it's all the same to me."

Fei Tu Hu Po waved her hand wearily, then, as if realizing something, quickly corrected herself: "Of course! I'm not interested in ordinary men! We can get along... but if you're trying to develop any other feelings, that's impossible!"

"Don't say that, my son is no ordinary person either."

Fei Tu Hu Po looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of her who looked somewhat familiar. For some reason, the more she looked, the more uncomfortable she felt. Although her rational mind knew that the man was just too enthusiastic, her emotions kept telling her.

I must have some grudge against this old man...

For various strange reasons, Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't help but continue to breathe on her: "You said you're almost 30, around 27 or 28... and you only just found a job. You're really not an ordinary person."

Fei Tu Hu Po herself has gone through almost two adolescences, during which she worked part-time jobs to support herself. But this cleaning uncle's son has only just found a stable job. How bizarre is that?

Don't tell me that you treat guys more like brothers and friends... Even if you wanted a boyfriend, you wouldn't choose someone like that.

"That's why I refuse!"

Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head firmly: "And you, Uncle, don't act like this just meeting someone for the first time! Do you really think anyone will accept you trying to force a match like this?"

The cleaning worker chuckled; "Cast a wide net, catch many fish, and choose the best ones—to be honest, quite a few people are willing to accept it..."

"Tch, I don't believe it!"

Fei Tu Hu Po gave a soft snort. Looking at this uncle who didn't consider the child's feelings at all and only wanted to play matchmaker, Fei Tu Hu Po just felt dislike!

The last person she disliked this much was Kotobuki Toru's bastard father...

After much deliberation, Fei Tu Hu Po touched her wallet and said, "Rather than going on a blind date with a freeloader... I choose to lose money!"

The receptionist watched everything unfold, her face alternating between pale, red, and black. This young lady genuinely had no idea who the old man in front of her was...

Moreover, this was the first time she had ever seen a horse girl who breathed on Shinichi Kotobuki like that on their very first meeting!

This horse is truly extraordinary; it's extremely aggressive.

As for compensation for the glass, even if the boss hadn't given the word, Fei Tu Amber wouldn't be required to pay for it. Such a large company shouldn't be asking customers for compensation just because a customer was almost injured by glass.

If that gets out, my colleagues will laugh me to death.
