Chapter 89: 75. The Cost of 200,000 Points
Amid the strange looks from the bass section members, Dubian Che awkwardly nodded to Kiyono Lin and obediently got into the car.
The luxury car smoothly drove away from the concert hall.
Inside the car, Jiutiao Meijie, resting her hand on the central armrest, had a slight snarl on her lips, "To think you dared to accept another woman’s invitation right in front of me, how should I punish you?"
"Wasn’t that kind of invitation unrelated to gender?"
"Weren’t they women?"
"...Yes, of course they were..."
"Throw him out."
It seemed like Miss Shizuru had been waiting for that very command. As soon as Jiutiao Meijie’s words fell, she reached out to grab Dubian Che’s shoulder, and with her other hand, she opened the right car door.
The light rain came pouring in, sticking mistily to Dubian Che’s face.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
At this point, the car was moving so fast that the roadside trees were barely visible. If he were to be thrown out now, Dubian Che’s blood could easily paint a line over ten meters long on the road.
He waved off Miss Shizuru’s hand and agilely leapt to sit next to Jiutiao Meijie, far from Shizuru, as vigilantly as an eagle watching a chick.
"In my heart, there is only one woman, Meijie; all the others are men!"
"Is that so?" Jiutiao Meijie asked, turning her head with a playful smile to look at Dubian Che cowering behind her.
"Because I think this way, I accepted their invitation! Otherwise, how could I possibly go out with another girl while I have a girlfriend? I didn’t see them as females at all!"
Jiutiao Meijie gave a mocking laugh.
"I’m absolutely not lying to you!" Dubian Che assured.
"Whatever." Jiutiao Meijie looked away, disinterested, and closed her eyes.
The car door closed, once again keeping the rain outside.
Dubian Che breathed a sigh of relief internally as he slowly sat back in his original spot under Miss Shizuru’s reluctant gaze.
Being with Jiutiao Meijie was like being a living target for an archer, constantly fearing being hit at any moment.
Especially since she had an underling eager to put an end to him.
The car rode on for a long while, apparently not intending to drop Dubian Che off at his home, finally stopping in front of a large building.
"President!" Just as he got out of the car, a crowd lined up in formation, their presence exaggerated even beyond that of a TV drama.
But Dubian Che couldn’t tell if it was the corporate culture or just Jiutiao Meijie’s personal imposing aura.
He remembered his training for a convenience store part-time job where they were required to stand straight and bow solely because of the supervisor; badges had to be visible so the supervisor could see their names.
In front of so many people, Jiutiao Meijie, yawning, walked towards the elevator, followed closely and unblinkingly by Miss Shizuru.
Thinking it over, Dubian Che decided to keep a two-step distance behind Miss Shizuru, following the pair.
"President, you’ve worked hard," said a man in his fifties, stepping forward from the line of bowers, speaking to Jiutiao Meijie from a distance even farther than Dubian Che.
"Notify all departments; there will be a meeting in half an hour. Have the recent business reports ready; I want to hear each one."
"Yes!"
"Have the legal department prepare; they’re coming out with me tomorrow."
"Yes!"
After issuing a few commands, Jiutiao Meijie entered the private elevator.
Looking at Miss Shizuru and even the fifty-year-old man not entering the elevator, Dubian Che also stood outside, watching the elevator doors close.
With Jiutiao Meijie gone, the solemn atmosphere that almost seemed to stop the rain lightened gradually.
The fifty-year-old man said to Miss Shizuru, "Miss Shizuru, thank you for protecting the young lady."
Miss Shizuru nodded.
He was accustomed to her cold demeanor and didn’t take it personally, his gaze then shifting to Dubian Che, "Who is this?"
Miss Shizuru glanced sidelong, "Bodyguard."
"Bodyguard?" The man appeared shocked, seeking confirmation, "The young lady’s?"
"Do I look like I need a bodyguard?"
"No, not at all. But he came out of the car with you, a personal male bodyguard?"
The man examined Dubian Che, well-proportioned but with a scholarly face full of youthful innocence, giving the impression that any grown man could easily knock him down.
But he was extremely handsome, could it be the young lady... No, absolutely not, that lady would surely never engage in such matters!
"Part-time, part-time," Dubian Che greeted politely, yet didn’t give his name.
"Part..." The man paused, then nodded, "I should go attend to my duties."
After the man left, Miss Shizuru turned and entered another elevator, Dubian Che quickly followed.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"..."
"When can I go home?"
"..."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"..."
"Alright then."
Dubian Che boredly watched the floor indicator light up red, observing the numbers slowly increasing.
When the elevator stopped, the two of them arrived on the 25th floor.
Here, almost completely filled with fitness equipment—punching bags, treadmills, a swimming pool, a ring, and more—it was all available in a space as large as a school playground, with only two people using the facility.
One was punching and high-kicking a punching bag with loud thumping sounds. From Dubian Che’s estimation, any random strike could break a person’s bones.
The second person was using a seated chest press machine, the movement slow but steady, muscles rippling like ocean waves with each push and pull.
Dubian Che glanced at them, then followed Miss Shizuru into a room.
"What are we... why are you suddenly taking off your clothes?!" Dubian Che quickly ran out. He turned back, spotting the sign ’Shizuru’ on the door.
A private changing room?
You could’ve mentioned that! Was this some plot to get me in trouble, to make Jiutiao Meijie angry again?
The human heart is terrifying.
With a sigh, Dubian Che idly started looking over the equipment.
