A newbie's anime life diary

Yang Nai listened from the side, trying to put on a happy smile while rolling her eyes inwardly; she was getting a little tired.

"Oh, is that so?" Upon hearing that Yukiteru said he wasn't from the Hiratsuka family, Ogawa immediately showed a pleased expression and continued, "Then can you tell me what you do now? I think it must be quite impressive to be with a talented woman like Haruno, right?"

Xiao Chuan was very happy. Although she was definitely not as capable as Yang Nai, she had at least met a lot of people with her family. However, she had no impression of the boy in front of her. Therefore, Xiao Chuan suspected that this person was either an actor hired by Yang Nai or a kept man!

Either way, she can give them a good opportunity to mock them!

To this question, Xuehui chuckled, thought for a moment, and then glanced at Yangna beside him: "Should we tell you?"

"Go ahead and tell me. Anyway, you'll know what you should and shouldn't know in a few days. Just don't reveal too much." Of course, Yang Nai could see through Ogawa's thoughts, so she didn't mind teasing him a little.

So what if your family runs a slightly larger freight company? Why are you always trying to cause trouble?

Since Yang Nai had agreed, Xue Hui replied directly, "It's just starting out, it's an emerging technology industry, and it's currently in its initial stage. Yang Nai is helping me with that."

"Sigh~ the tech industry? Doesn't that require a lot of money? How about I invest some? Yang's family business doesn't usually have much readily available liquid funds, right?" Ogawa squinted, thinking, "The tech industry? They want to go big without any connections? They probably don't even have enough money."

Xuehui pretended not to understand the meaning behind the other party's words and replied, "The amount of money needed is indeed quite large. Yang Nai even put in all his own savings, but it's just a drop in the ocean."

Then, just as the other party was about to respond, he immediately said, "However, by noon today, the funds had been fully in place."

Upon hearing this, not only was Ogawa embarrassed, but even Haruno, who was standing next to him, was surprised.

"Did your teacher transfer the funds?"

Xuehui nodded: "Because the quantity was quite large, it took a few extra days. I only received the news at noon. I didn't tell you because I thought you were busy. I was planning to tell you when I got back tonight, but it's the same to tell you now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much? How much?"

"This is the first batch, around 10 billion. We will add more funds as we get things up and running."

"Sigh... only 10 billion? Our registered capital is nearly 3 million." Upon hearing that it was only 10 billion, Yang Nai's mood gradually calmed down. The research and development team requires a lot of equipment and research lab costs, plus very good confidentiality measures. We should be careful with this amount of money.

"Yes, 10 billion, but not in Japanese yen, in US dollars."

"..." Ogawa on the other end was stunned. Although she thought the other party was bragging, the next second she saw Yuki take out his wallet, take out two bank cards and hand them to Yono. She recognized these two cards. They were the highest-level cards from Fuji Bank and Sakura Bank, which were only given to the top wealthy and powerful families in Japan.

Xuehui handed the bank cards to a somewhat shocked Yangnai and said, "Here, didn't you complain about being poor before? These are two cards, each with 5 million US dollars in them. When you need money, just go to the bank, and someone will take care of you."

"Oh...oh ho ho! With this money, I can go all out and do it!" Yang Nai cheered and immediately stuffed the things into her small bag.

Then, Xuehui looked at Xiaochuan: "That's it. Thank you for your concern about the funds; there are no problems for now. Of course, if Miss Xiaochuan wants to invest in our company in the future, we can find some time to have a proper discussion. Hmm... this isn't ideal; I still need to spend time with Yangnai, so let's forget about the investment. I don't think we need anyone else to invest. By the way, Miss Xiaochuan, didn't you bring a male companion today? I saw quite a few excellent men here; perhaps you shouldn't keep focusing on me, or I'll feel embarrassed."

"You...you..." Ogawa snapped out of her daze, glanced at Yukiteru, then at Yono, who was completely oblivious to her and muttering to herself. She snorted, then turned and left. Her two henchmen, seeing this, didn't dare say anything more and could only follow her.

"I say, weren't you a little too loud just now? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was trying to steal my girlfriend." Yang Nai watched the three leave, then glanced at Xue Hui, who had a smile on her face. "You really are vicious."

"Hmm? Really? Boys usually speak louder, there's nothing strange about it. It's not a good habit to slander others, you know, especially since I'm already keeping Yang Nai." After looking around, Xuehui pulled Yang Nai back down to sit, looking at her with a smile.

"This doesn't count as being kept, this is clearly essential funding for the company's development!" Yang Nai clutched her small bag, afraid that Xuehui would suddenly snatch the two cards away.

There's a reason she's been going to Xuehui's place for meals these past few days. First, the food is really delicious. Second, she doesn't have much savings left. Renting an office costs money, hiring people and headhunters costs money, and she doesn't really control her spending. Suddenly, her once bulging savings have dwindled. She's also spent all the funds Xuehui gave her, leaving her with almost nothing.

She didn't want to ask her family for money, so she had to find ways to save money. Now, thankfully, a large sum of money has finally come in, and she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sigh~ Development company funds, that's a good point. Well then, how about this, keep a good record of every penny spent from now on, and I'll check it regularly. I'm the big boss, you have to agree to this request, right?" Xuehui said bluntly, squinting his eyes.

"Ugh... Fine, I'll keep the accounts, but don't forget, I'm the company's general manager, and I get a salary every month. I've recently put a lot of money into it myself, so you'll have to transfer this money to me!"

Otherwise, I'll really have to live on instant noodles every day...

Seeing Yang Nai's money-grubbing attitude, Xue Hui couldn't help but laugh. He had never seen this woman like this before, and it was quite amusing.

At this moment, he also noticed that, without his knowledge, several men had come to stand and chat near the two of them, but their eyes kept glancing over here, clearly indicating that they had come for Yang Nai.

However, none of these were problems, because Xuehui also discovered an unexpected visitor.

"Emmm~ Yang Nai, this is a bit of a problem. An acquaintance has shown up. What do you think we should do?"

Seeing the blond boy walking towards him with a smile, Yukiteru looked at Hinano, who had straightened her posture again.

"What else can we do? We can't let anything slip. I'll leave it to you to handle. I can't really get involved with this kid, since his dad is the legal advisor for my family's company."

Yang Nai's lips moved slightly, and she spoke softly.

Xuehui could only shrug helplessly and start thinking of a solution.

They really know how to give me a tough challenge; it feels like this hole is getting bigger and bigger.

Chapter 241 Who says you can't pursue your older sister if you're pursuing your younger sister?

Yukinoshita's company's legal counsel...

The blond boy now in sight was none other than Hayato Hayama. Yukiteru hadn't expected to run into him here either; he'd probably been surrounded by those women again.

Yuki recalled the information about Hayato Hayama in her mind. His father was a famous lawyer in Chiba and also the legal advisor for the Yukinoshita family company. Therefore, Hayama had known the Yukinoshita sisters since childhood and could be considered childhood friends.

However, because Haruno has had a rather eccentric personality since childhood, even though he is a boy, Hayato Hayama inevitably became Haruno's target for teasing, just like his younger sister Yukino.

During the previous school trip, he had mentioned the initials of the name of the person he liked. Combined with some clues from his daily life, Yukiteru was certain that the person this guy liked was indeed Haruno.

"I didn't expect I hadn't noticed him before. But seeing the situation, it's unrealistic for you not to show yourself. Too bad, someone like you is destined to never have a chance, even without me, Hayama-kun."

After a quick thought, Xuehui made a decision.

Although there were seats available for them to sit down, Xuehui, like the three girls before her, didn't want anyone to disturb them.

As he stood up with Yang Nai, his lips moved imperceptibly, and a string of words flowed into Yang Nai's ears.

"This guy likes you, right? No need to deny it, I already guessed it. Although Hayama isn't an annoying guy, and he's actually quite good as a friend, I don't think he's right for you, so I'll help you put an end to his feelings for you."

Yang Nai's eyes widened slightly. She knew that Xue Hui's words had only entered her ears and no one else could hear them. This kind of thing was not difficult for him.

But what does that mean?

She simply treated Hayama Hayato as just another suitor like the other men around her, and then brushed him off.

But if it was simply to help her get rid of her suitors, why was there such an obvious possessiveness in her tone?

Yang Nai felt inexplicably scared. She, who used to face anything with a smile, was now feeling a little afraid.

It wasn't the kind of fear that comes with terror, but rather a feeling that was a mixture of various emotions.

Simply put, it might be unease, unease about many things.

She tried to stop Yukiteru, but it was too late. Hayama Hayato had already arrived in front of them, and Yukiteru gently pulled her hand and squeezed it, signaling her not to say anything.

'Perhaps I shouldn't have come here today...'

This was Yang Nai's only thought at the moment, but she had dug this pit herself in a moment of impulsiveness, and it was impossible for her not to jump in.

"I didn't expect Hiratsuka-kun to come here with Haruno-nee today. It's a bit of a surprise." Looking at the man and woman standing together in front of him, Hayama Hayato's eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible jealousy.

At this moment, Yang Nai had quickly adjusted her mindset. Although the person in front of her could be considered one of the few male playmates she had when she was a child, she still had to play her role. She took Xue Hui's arm, glanced at him, and clearly handed over the right to speak to Xue Hui.

Yukiteru, who had been expecting some kind of reaction from Haruno, was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly said, "Well, Haruno asked me to accompany her to the banquet, so I couldn't refuse. By the way, why didn't I see Hayama-kun earlier? Hmm... was he surrounded by girls again? I'm a little envious."

Hayato Hayama smiled wryly at this, saying, "There's nothing I can do. My father said he wants me to get used to these social activities as soon as possible to lay a foundation for the future, so he makes me participate in them every now and then."

Then, he looked at Yang Nai and Yukiteru, recalling what he had seen before, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, there's a question I'm not sure if I should ask, I'm afraid you'll be angry."

"Go ahead and ask, although I know what you want to ask." Shaking his head, Xuehui could also tell that this guy obviously wanted to ask about his relationship with Yangna.

Xuehui glanced at the men around them out of the corner of her eye and knew that their conversation could no longer be concealed. It seemed that, just as she had thought, the boy was going to suffer a significant blow.

Thinking of this, Xuehui didn't bother to let Yeshan speak and said directly, "Just as you think, I am indeed dating Yangna."

"..." Upon hearing this, Hayama's expression turned serious. He looked at Yukiteru and asked, "Hiratsuka-kun, are you sure? Don't forget you're still dating Haruno-nee's sister."

"Hmm? Is that what you're worried about?" Xuehui raised an eyebrow, and said in a defiant tone, "Who says I can't pursue my older sister at the same time after pursuing my younger sister?"

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

In an instant, Yukiteru heard several coughs from those around him who had been scrambling for drinks. Looking at Hayama's astonished face, he continued, "Are you thinking this is wrong? Is this society monogamous? Hayama-kun, aren't you being too optimistic? This society is a dog-eat-dog world. If I have the ability to pursue two people, what can others say? That I stole their sweethearts? Ha, even without me, would they have any hope? Besides, Hayama-kun, this matter concerns me, Yukino, and Yukino. It's not your place to interfere, is it? May I ask your status in asking me this? Classmate? Childhood friend? Friend?"

Suddenly, Yuki felt that Yono's grip on his arm tighten a bit. He immediately realized what was happening, exhaled, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hayama-kun. My tone was a bit harsh just now. Please forgive me."

Hayama's expression gradually returned to normal, and with a hint of dejection, he shook his head: "It's alright, and Hiratsuka-kun, you're right. I did come here to question you at first, and as you said, this matter is not my business."

He exhaled, looked at the calm-faced Yang Nai, and said to Yukiteru, "I hope you can handle your relationship with them well. I'll be leaving now."

Afterwards, Ye Shan did not linger there and turned to leave the banquet hall.

The conversation between Yukiteru and Hayama did not spread beyond a very small area, and did not cause much of a stir in the banquet hall.

"You went a bit too far just now." Sitting down again, Yono took the glass of red wine that Yuki had just brought her. She took a small sip as she spoke, paused for a moment, and then took a big gulp.

"I'm just getting more and more annoyed by him." Sitting next to Yukino, Yukiteru slowly sipped his drink and said, "This guy doesn't even react to something like this. Should I call him a pushover or a coward? Is that why you look down on him?"

Yang Nai didn't say anything, but just quietly drank his wine.

Seeing her like this, Xuehui also became somewhat irritated.

We ran out of food at home, so it took us a while to go out and find something to eat.

Chapter 242 Inside the Car

A few minutes later, Yang Nai looked at Xue Hui, who was silently drinking his wine, and said, "I'm hungry."

Setting down his glass, Yukiteru turned to look at Haruno, who was staring at him expectantly, and said, "If you're hungry, just go get something yourself. You've got plenty of food, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai's cheeks puffed out slightly, and she poked Xue Hui's arm repeatedly with her finger: "Aren't you my boyfriend? Do I have to do this kind of thing by myself?"

With her eyes half-closed, Yang Nai leaned closer, scrutinizing Yuki, and laughed: "Are you angry? Or... jealous?"

"What are you talking about..." Turning his head away, Xuehui realized he had overreacted. He put his glass on the table and stood up. "What would you like to eat?"

"Fruits and snacks would be fine." Yang Nai's expression brightened as she watched Yukiteru get moving, and she pressed her stomach. "I've been eating at your house a lot lately, and the food is so good that I'm worried I'll gain weight."

"Don't worry, the food I cook at home is specially prepared, so it won't make you fat. Of course, it's better to eat out in moderation." After replying, Xuehui walked towards the buffet table not far away.

He was also a little hungry at this time.

After giving Yang Nai some fruit and snacks and taking a plate of meat for himself, Xuehui started walking back. Meanwhile, on the sofa where they had previously been alone, two more women were now sitting, happily chatting with Yang Nai.

'Hmm~ Is she someone we have a pretty good relationship with?'

He wondered whether he should go and disturb him, but Yukino on the sofa had already seen him and was waving at him. Left with no other choice, Yukiteru went over.
