Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Please please please please

Chapter 273 True Name Liberation - Kotobuki? (5000 words, 2.5 chapters, bounty 11)

After confirming several times that she really didn't need to pay for the glass, Fei Tu Hu Po looked at the large group of cleaners who rushed over and marveled at their enthusiasm while explaining her purpose to the receptionist.

"Hello, I am Hitoko Amber from Central Tereson. I am here today to deliver an invitation to the Tereson Cherry Blossom Festival."

The receptionist paused for a moment, then took a closer look at the somewhat clumsy woman in front of her, quickly matching her in her mind with the woman her superiors had been longing to talk about…

So this is the horse girl everyone's been eagerly anticipating! She is indeed extremely beautiful, and her mechanical capabilities are terrifyingly strong. Just now, she shattered the company's windshield with a single crash. Such a shocking scene is something the receptionist has only ever seen in manga... In the manga, there's a guy named Yujiro who went to challenge a caveman.

But now that the person everyone's been waiting for has arrived, all these messy things I've been dealing with today should finally be resolved perfectly! After sending Miss Hibiki Amber upstairs, I'll head back to my hometown to get married…

Oh no, I mean I was frightened, so I need to take a day off to go home and rest!

"Please have a cup of tea and wait a moment."

The receptionist warmly poured Fei Tu Hu Po a cup of warm tea, then quickly walked to the front desk, picked up the internal phone, and prepared to inform her that her CEO, Fei Tu Hu Po, had arrived, while also inquiring about how to properly accommodate this distinguished guest.

However, before she could even dial the number, she heard a loud crash as Shinichi Kotobuki dumped all the cleaned-up glass shards into the recycling bin, then casually waved his hand and called out loudly:

"Alright, alright, stop making calls, it's too much trouble. Since this is a rare opportunity, I'll show this Miss Ma around."

"Huh?" Fei Tu Hu Po and the receptionist both exclaimed in surprise.

The receptionist was surprised because her work plan had been abruptly interrupted. According to the president's previous instructions, she only needed to hand over the invitation to Hitsuko, without any mention of bringing her upstairs or meeting her directly. This likely meant that the president didn't want to meet Hitsuko in such a formal setting as the Kotobuki Group.

Kotobuki is quite influential within the group; if we were to use a card game analogy, she would be the "ace" that overwhelms everything.

But just like in the rules of cards... if two aces appear at the same time, then it becomes a matter of who gets the joker and who gets the king. Without a doubt, whether in terms of position or family status, this Shinichi Kotobuki is the true king of the Kotobuki Foundation!

The receptionist could only silently put down her phone.

There's no way around it, even the king has to listen to the little king... especially since they're father and daughter.

Fei Tu Hu Po looked at the cleaning uncle who was inexplicably enthusiastic towards her and felt a headache coming on.

Although this old guy is indeed the kind of handsome older man that most young girls would like, she is not an ordinary young girl, and she doesn't like handsome older men either.

Moreover, driven by intuition, I simply disliked this older man, especially since he had just tried to introduce his son to me!

His favorability rating has plummeted to rock bottom.

After seeing the world for so many days, Fei Tu Hu Po had at least learned some ways to refuse: "By the way, uncle, are you the cleaner here? This building is so big, why don't you clean it? And you still have time to take me around?"

“What’s the problem? Besides, my job isn’t just cleaning.” Shinichi Kotobuki sat up straight, his posture dignified, instantly giving him the air of a lion awakening.

Fei Tu Hu Po was taken aback. From the extremely respectful attitude of the receptionist just now, Fei Tu Hu Po thought of a possibility...

"So you are..."

"Besides being a cleaner, I'm also the company's public relations officer; you could even call me the head of the publicity department!"

Shinichi Kotobuki patted his chest, his face full of pride: "Little girl, don't you believe me? Our company usually sends me to handle important external liaison activities. Go around asking around, ask any of our staff here, who doesn't call me the Sake Master?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was a straightforward person. She turned to the receptionist next to her and asked, "Is that so?"

"That's right. This man... is indeed the best drinker in our company, and he's also the one who closes most of the deals... so Miss Amber, it's perfectly fine for him to show you around!"

This time, Hibiki Amber's impression of this middle-aged man had changed: "Eh? It really is?"

"Of course, I'll show you around." Shinichi Kotobuki was quite pleased with Hitoko's shocked expression. He stood up and waved to Hitoko, "Come on, I'll show you around."

"Okay, okay."

Fei Tu Hu Po straightened her skirt, downed the tea in her hand in one gulp, and decided to accept the situation as a guest. She was only there to deliver an invitation, so she decided to just grit her teeth and accept it.

Anyway, I might not run into this uncle again!

I was originally planning to freeload lunch at the Kotobuki Foundation, but I think I'll pass now...

----------

Legitimate companies typically have access control and turnstile systems, and the Kotobuki Foundation even uses advanced facial recognition technology. Hitoko Amber initially wanted to try out the facial recognition system, but the receptionist had already kindly opened the turnstile manually for them, seemingly without any suspicion that Hitoko Amber might be a bad person.

As soon as she passed through the turnstile, Fei Tu Hu Po felt the bustling atmosphere of this behemoth company. Eight elevators were running all the time, and there were estimated waiting times below the elevators, calculated by AI.

[5 minutes]

"Wow, I didn't expect this place to be like an office building. During peak hours, you have to wait for the elevator, which is slower than climbing the stairs... It takes a long time to get takeout."

"Little Amber, you've worked outside before?"

"I worked before I officially started racing. At that time, I had no source of income, and the living expenses of being a horse girl were very high, so I could only do part-time jobs such as delivering food."

"Wow, that's really hardworking. There aren't many young people like you these days."

Kotobuki Shinichi glanced at the elevator, then pointed to the equally beautifully decorated escalator next to it: "How about we take the stairs? We can talk as we walk?"

"I don't really care." Hibiki Amber looked the middle-aged man up and down. "I'm a racehorse girl, climbing stairs is a piece of cake for me. But you, sir, are you sure you can manage?"

Shinichi Kotobuki patted his chest and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm in great health."

Since that was the case, the two headed towards the stairs. For most office workers, work is tiring enough, so they would never choose to climb stairs if there was an elevator. Therefore, there were almost no people on the escalator at this time.

Hitoko was very polite. She deliberately gave the side closest to the handrail to Shinichi Kotobuki, and then followed behind him at a pace two steps slower, secretly worried that the uncle might accidentally fall.

"You little pony, you're quite polite."

"Aren't the other horse girls like this?"

"I wouldn't call it anything else, but last year's summer festival was attended by your school's Little Chestnut Hats. When they heard that we provide meals here, they practically wanted to carry me there..."

Hibiki Amber couldn't help but chuckle: "Pfft, that's definitely Little Chestnut Hat Senior's style."

After Hitotsu Kohaku finished laughing, Kotobuki Shinichi turned around slightly and said, "Since there aren't many people here, can I ask Kohaku why you're so aggressive towards me?"

"I've had this feeling since just now... you seem to be quite unhappy with me."

"Huh? You can tell that?"

"I can barely tell... He's getting older, but he's accumulated some experience." Kotobuki Shinichi smiled and continued, "So, would you mind telling me about it?"

Hitoko Amber stopped and fell into a brief moment of thought. When Kotobuki Shinichi was almost a floor ahead of her, she quickly caught up with him: "Since you've already figured it out... then I'll be frank. First, I instinctively felt hostile towards you, and second, your previous statement about 'scattering fish widely and gathering many fish, choosing the good to follow'... made me think you're a frivolous man!"

"what?"

Kotobuki Shinichi paused, his eyes flashing as if recalling something, then said in surprise, "That's what my son said to me. He said, 'You're so old, yet you're so frivolous'... It sounds like you and my son have quite a connection."

Fei Tu Hu Po was speechless: "Don't mention your son, okay?"

"Well, let's not talk about it... But the reason you don't like me is indeed very reasonable."

Shinichi Kotobuki sighed, "But there's nothing I can do. As a father, I always want to give my son the best... We all have parents, so please understand."

Fei Tu Hu Po completely ignored this argument, "I don't have parents... I don't care what you say!"

Shinichi Kotobuki was taken aback by these words. In the Pan-Asian region, it was rare for anyone to joke about their parents like this: "Little Amber, are you an orphan?"

“Yeah.” Hito Amber shrugged. “I’ve been an orphan since I was little. But if you say the Three Goddesses are the mothers of all Uma Musume, then you can say my parents are the Three Goddesses… But you don’t know my story? Normally, those propaganda section chiefs would find out my situation before I even arrived… my family background, what I like to eat, and so on.”

"I don't like this. Checking someone's household registration or opening their boxes is absolutely disrespectful."

"So, on our first meeting, you asked me if I wanted to get to know your son... isn't that disrespectful to me?"

"I don't think so, since you don't have anyone you like... Since you don't, it's not disrespectful, is it?"

Fei Tu Hu Po snorted coldly: "How do you know I didn't?"

"Huh? Is it ready?"

With the most resolute tone, Fei Tu Hu Po gave the most hesitant answer: "Perhaps there is? But I can say... I don't understand what you're doing! And I completely don't support it!"

In the past, when she was with the noblewoman Gao Shangjunyi, they would sometimes talk about people they liked... but at that time, Fei Tu Hu Po's mind was blank.

But now that Shinichi Kotobuki is asking her this question, a vague figure actually appears in Hitokohaku's mind.

She just needs time or an opportunity to make that figure clearer.

"Alright." Shinichi Kotobuki sighed softly. "I understand... I humbly accept your criticism."

Fei Tu Hu Po crossed her arms, her face full of disbelief: "How can I not believe you? Just because I, an outsider, said something... and you humbly accepted it? In my opinion... you should be the kind of proud man."

"Hey, this little girl has a really sweet tongue."

Shinichi Kotobuki chuckled, "But I really have thought about it for a long time. You've brought up the question in front of me. Before that, I had also thought about it for a very long time."

In fact, Shinichi Kotobuki started thinking about this issue when he had a falling out with his son. Now, the relationship between the two is not so strained anymore, but since they are both men, they are too proud to apologize to each other.

We can only wait for a suitable opportunity to discuss it further.

However, the Hibiki Kohaku in front of me has made unprecedented progress... Not only did she rise to the challenge, but she also managed to become Kotobuki Toru's horse girl despite Kotobuki Toru's negative skills that hate women.

Not only that, it seems that Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru have a pretty good relationship.

Judging from the information revealed during the phone calls from various families announcing their engagements, Hitotsu Amber is simply invincible: invincible looks, invincible personality, invincible figure, and even her hip bones and pelvis look invincible.

Of course, Shinichi Kotobuki knew that these were just polite excuses to refuse him and Toru Kotobuki. Otherwise, if he didn't praise Kohaku Hitotsu to the skies, how could he have the nerve to hint at breaking off the engagement?

But after meeting her today, Shinichi Kotobuki realized that the child was indeed quite cute. Putting aside everything else, she was at least more likable than Tona and the noblewoman, who became increasingly aggressive as they grew older.

Especially the hip bones and pelvis, they are truly unbeatable...

Thinking of this, Shinichi Kotobuki suddenly felt like teasing the adorable little pony: "Speaking of which, little Amber... since you don't have parents and live alone, it just so happens that I have a nice son..."

Fei Tu Hu Po looked up at the uncle, waiting to hear what other ruthless tricks the old man could pull.

"Why don't you call me Dad? Then you'll have a boyfriend, and all the riches and luxuries you could want."

Scarlet Amber froze, then slowly extended her finger.

Also at this time-

"Your department just sits here all day eating and doing nothing, applying for all sorts of weird patents. Hurry up and advance the patent priority for this 'Final Match' for me! What kind of idea is it to make clothes out of movable artificial muscles for horse girls to wear, to enhance their athletic ability... Is this something a human could come up with? And the Horse Racing Girls Association will never allow you to do it!"

On the sixth floor, Narcissus walked out of the office building, cursing and swearing, and saw Amber on the stairs right in front of him.

"Hey, Little Amber, what brings you here? Did you come to play with me? But why are you giving me the middle finger... Girls shouldn't do that. Listen to me, just start swearing. Your voice is perfect for insults... You can easily turn someone into a masochist... Uh."

As Narcissus approached, chattering away, she looked up and saw the figure of a handsome old man.

"Oh, good day, Mr. Shinichi."

Narcissus wanted to applaud Scarlet Amber.

Now, she is the ultimate form of the peerless courtesan—alluring and seductive, yet full of integrity, never bowing to power.

She even started giving the middle finger to those in power.

Narcissus now longs to take out her phone and capture this world-shaking moment, but she cannot.

Because she had something more important to do!

Narcissus turned around stiffly, his voice filled with panic, and said, "Well, I didn't see anything... I even remembered that I left something in the office, I'll go back and get it now."

After saying this, Narcissus turned around like a spinning top and walked back.

But it was too late...

The blonde beauty had already walked out of the patent department's door, and as she stood at the entrance, she didn't forget to greet everyone inside: "Nana's words just now were a bit inappropriate, I apologize on her behalf... However, Little Amber's decisive victory needs to be expedited. I require that the patent be applied for within a week, and then we'll have time to use it to bless the three goddesses!"

"What? It will take at least half a month? You guys didn't understand what I meant... I mean, I, Kotobuki?! demand that it be resolved within a week!"

"Well, isn't this a great spirit? Keep it up, everyone! There's a bonus for good performance!"

Qin Chui turned around with a smile, her eyes crinkling.

----------- Second update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 274 Teacher, your family must be very rich, right?

Kotobuki, one of the leaders of the Kotobuki Foundation, usually seems very amiable. During holidays, she would even gather her close girlfriends to form a girls' band and perform for everyone.

But in daily work... this is an absolute leader, with great leadership qualities, the kind who has the final say. It is precisely because of this that the young Kotobuki was able to take on the important position of president.

As the CEO, her power is naturally limitless!

After emphasizing the president's authority and arranging for Hitotsu Amber to have her final outfit rushed, Kotobuki stretched contentedly, then turned around and stretched again.
