A soft slap landed on Chaoyang's face.

Chaoyang could easily dodge it, but he saw tears in the maid's eyes. She did have some feelings for him, and he shouldn't have said that.

"You should come back as soon as you're safe. Even if you don't care, at least I've been with you for so long, and I'm your family. Shouldn't you meet me?"

"Even if you say so, Ayase, I won't give you a share of the inheritance."

"..."

The maid drooped her shoulders helplessly, then immediately perked up.

"Tsk, did the young master actually see through me? ...Young master, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"It just so happens that I have something to ask him."

Ayase, the maid leading the way, asked casually.

"Young Master Xiangzi and Miss..."

"I arranged for him to be admitted to the hospital. It's nothing serious."

"...Master, I don't know how you did it...but this time, the master is very happy. He has arranged many interviews for you. You may be very busy in the future, so the master asked me to serve as your personal secretary."

"Do you have enough education?"

"Master, you are very rude. As a member of a family that has served the Toyokawa family for generations, I am also an elite. Although not from the University of Tokyo, I am also a graduate of Hitotsubashi University. Isn't that impressive?"

The maid Ayase turned around and pouted while speaking, and glared at Chaoyang.

"I'm better than Hitotsubashi University. It's even better than the university I applied to... Don't speak too loudly to her from now on."

Chaoyang cleared his throat and changed his tone.

"OK OK, I got it. You'll follow me out from now on."

"If I sleep with you, I want my salary doubled, and I'll charge extra for other special positions."

"Are you so open?"

Chaoyang stopped and turned to look at Ayase, frowning slightly.

"I've been sexually harassed by the young master for so long that I can't get married any longer. I can only survive by making a living."

Chaoyang took a deep breath and waved his hand gently.

"Alright, alright, stop joking around like that next time. I'm going to take it seriously. I'm going crazy in there, and if you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to mess with you."

The maid said nothing when she heard this. She tilted her head and muttered incoherently to herself. After looking at the ceiling and thinking for a while, she lowered her head and returned her gaze to Chaoyang.

"Master, please go quickly. The master will wait for you."

After a few minutes

The study room of the Toyokawa family was opened and Chaoyang walked in slowly.

"You unfilial son, you only came back to see me now! Do you still see me as your father?!"

The scolding voice came immediately, but it was obvious that the anger in the words was extremely false.

"...You did a good job this time. I've already arranged to build momentum for the Toyokawa family. Those low-class people always like to talk about CSR [corporate social responsibility]. Now that the chaebol's children are leading hundreds of people to survive, is there a better PR strategy than this?"

Chaoyang sat down at his father's desk, his expression submissive, but his eyes betrayed a sense of "None of my business." As long as he didn't mind his father using him, and since he'd already spent a lot of the Toyokawa family's money, Chaoyang wasn't ungrateful, so doing something for the family wouldn't be a problem. But he hated his father's disdain for the lower-class population.

After all, he was one of them before. At first, he was an international student living in a shabby apartment.

"...Father, watch your expression. You've earned quite a bit of money from them, so call them a little nicer."

"Asshole! Is a face the right way to address your father? Are you taking the wrong medicine... Oh, never mind. You do have a point. If you get used to it, it would be bad if you let something slip in front of the media one day. It's good that you've made progress and learned the lesson of not saying too much."

Chaoyang's father was very satisfied. He used to dislike Chaoyang, but now he thinks Chaoyang is a rare handsome man.

"What on earth did you do down there? How did you manage to do it? You didn't feed them leaves, did you? After they came out, I asked someone to gather some intel on them. They were all talking nonsense, saying you were a god, or Guanyin Bodhisattva, and all sorts of other things."

Chaoyang put his hands on his hips and said seriously

"My human abilities are so great that they automatically imagine I've become a god."

"...It's getting late today. When you have time, write me a report on what happened down there. I'll see if there's a chance to make a documentary to continue the hype. Becoming a national hero, once your reputation is tied to the country, you can do whatever you want without any hindrance. As long as you don't make mistakes of principle, they'll basically turn a blind eye, because your reputation is the country's reputation."

"That's not necessary. Father, don't create gods. There's only one outcome for creating gods: they'll be deconstructed and desecrated."

"Also... since you're so capable... have you considered getting a new fiancée? I chose my sister's child as your fiancée because I thought you weren't capable enough. If you'd married someone from a wealthy family, the family fortune might have been lost to someone else. But since you've proven yourself..."

"No need, I like to be the strong one."

"...By the way, you are not allowed to go to brothels or anything like that in the future. After all, you are being watched by many eyes now. Keep your pants tight. If you can't help it, just ask the maid at home to solve it."

Chaoyang's father spoke very calmly, as if there was nothing wrong with using hired maids as tools to satisfy his sexual desires.

Chaoyang also understood what kind of person his father was. He probably did the same thing when he was young.

370. The maid is so moist⑤

In a blink of an eye, Chaoyang arrived at the busy stage, his eyes sweeping over the busy staff on and off the stage. He first found the stage manager, a medium-sized man wearing glasses, who was carefully checking the equipment and arrangements on the stage.

Chaoyang stepped forward and explained his purpose clearly and concisely.

"I'm AveMujica's agent, hello Toyokawa Chaoyang."

"Ah! Hello, hello! Is this Mr. Toyokawa? Excuse me, could it be that Toyokawa family...?"

Chaoyang nodded.

"I've long heard of your name. The construction of this theater is thanks to your group's sponsorship."

"I'm not representing the Toyokawa family today. I'm just AveMujica's agent."

"Ahaha, no, it's all the same. How can I help you?"

"Our band leader is very picky about the performances so I'm doing the rounds on her behalf."

"Is that so? Thank you so much for your hard work. Thank you so much for choosing this theater as the venue for your debut performance. It's a great honor."

Chaoyang shook hands with him and replied politely, "You're welcome. We are also looking forward to your performance here. Hope everything goes well."

The stage manager then began to explain the current situation.

"Currently, the stage set has been completed, and the sound and lighting systems are undergoing final adjustments. We plan to hold a full rehearsal this afternoon to ensure that the evening performance goes smoothly."

“We use a high-end surround sound system, including main and auxiliary speakers, to ensure that the sound is evenly distributed throughout the theater. The mixing console is the latest model from a well-known brand, which allows for precise sound control.”

Chaoyang looked around and noticed that the various musical instruments were already placed.

"Regarding the sound system, Xiangzi has emphasized her high requirements for sound quality. What kind of speakers and tuning equipment are you using?"

“We use a high-end surround sound system, including main and auxiliary speakers, to ensure that the sound is evenly distributed throughout the theater. The mixing console is the latest model from a well-known brand, which allows for precise sound control.”

Chaoyang nodded, indicating his understanding, and then asked

"What about the lighting? Xiangzi mentioned earlier that he wanted a certain atmosphere."

“Yes, regarding lighting, we have prepared LED lamps with multiple modes that can create different stage effects, including soft background light and strong spotlight effects. All lighting settings can be adjusted according to the specific content of the performance.”

"Okay, give me a detailed test. I'll send it to Xiangzi to see."

371. Why did you become Hei Xiang again? [4K]

"How's the live performance of Xiangzi? Is it okay?"

Chaoyang walked outside the venue and sent the recorded video to Xiangzi in the hospital.

At this time, Xiangzi was sitting on the hospital bed, watching the video with his mobile phone in his hand.

Xiangzi nodded, his mind racing.

"First, the angle of the follow spot on the left side of the main stage needs to be adjusted slightly downward to avoid shining directly into the actors' eyes, which can reduce unnecessary interference. Secondly, there is a slight delay when the projection content on the background screen switches. Let's see if the switching speed in this area can be optimized..."

This went on for about ten minutes. After Xiangzi finished expressing his opinions, Chaoyang wrote them down word for word and then gave them to the theater manager.

"...Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Seeing Chaoyang complete his commission, Xiangzi thanked him with a rare happy expression.

But at the same time, I felt even more uneasy.

[The debt is increasing]

As a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, Xiangzi will never allow herself to owe others and fall into a disadvantageous position, but now she only feels inferior when facing Gao Songdeng and Chaoyang.

"Ms. Toyokawa, it's time for lunch. Oh, your boyfriend isn't here today. I saw him this morning."

"He still has a job."

Although Xiangzi put down his phone, he had no interest in what the nurse said and just said something briefly.

"I'll bring the small dining table up. Please put your legs down... OK~"

After the nurse moved the small table for eating to the bed, she leisurely placed the food there while chatting.

"As expected, Ms. Toyokawa, you seem happier when your boyfriend is around."

"Just kidding..."

But she couldn't help but look puzzled.

Have I really behaved like this unconsciously?

"Back then, your boyfriend scared us when he ran over to me with you in his arms. It was like a TV drama. I was there, too. I was so envious! I wish my boyfriend would be so devoted to me too~~~Okay, that's all for today. Sorry, the hospital food might not be to your taste, but it's definitely nutritious~~"

As the nurse spoke, she had already placed the food for Xiangzi on the cart. After a smile and a greeting, she pushed the cart out of the ward.

"..."

But her unintentional words made Xiangzi feel a little depressed again.

Can I still pay him back? Give me money... Not to mention he's not short of money, I'm using his money to start a band. So, the only way to repay this favor is...

Thinking of this, Xiangzi touched his tender lips with his slender fingers, recalling the feeling of kissing in the underground.

I smiled unconsciously.

Then he immediately realized it, blushed, and coughed dryly, and looked around the quiet ward to confirm that no one was there.

【Come to think of it, have he and Chihaya already done this? 】

The images of Aine and Chaoyang suddenly appeared in her mind. Yesterday, the two of them stood together for a long time, and she felt a bit like an outsider. Thinking back on it now, it made her particularly unhappy.

Calm down, Xiangzi. Don't let these meaningless things distract you. The most important thing for you right now is tonight's performance. AveMujica's success depends on it. Your life isn't just yours anymore; you're also responsible for the lives of others. Don't get hung up on meaningless emotions.

Xiangzi kept hypnotizing herself like this. She had realized that she had begun to rely on Chaoyang unconsciously. She had been struggling for a year. After all, Chaoyang's appearance was like a float in front of a drowning person, and she, like a drowning person, clung to him unconsciously.

Reminded by the nurse's words, Xiangzi now recalled his recent behavior and realized that he was jealous of Aine intentionally or unintentionally. Why did he have to confront Aine's boyfriend and shout that he was his fiancé when he made his declaration?

How foolish.

[After this performance, no matter what it takes, I'm going to repay the favor and have nothing to do with him anymore, otherwise I'll become my old, weak self again.]

…………

"Master, is Miss Xiangzi okay?"

Sitting in the family car, Chaoyang's father arranged for her to be his maid and secretary and to follow him closely from today on, and sometimes she might even have to take care of his lower body.

"Oh, come to think of it, you have been serving Xiangzi before you have been serving the master's family, right?"

"That's right. Miss Xiangzi was much gentler than you, young master. But you were too violent last night. I'm thinking of applying for work-related compensation."

The maid Ayase's words immediately filled the atmosphere with a light and airy feeling. In contrast to Xiangzi who would immediately make the surroundings serious, she made Chaoyang not want to talk seriously at all.

Chaoyang pressed his temples and sighed deeply.

"When you meet Xiangzi, don't say anything. You can raise your salary any number of times you want."
