Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

If you dare to send my people to the police station today, will you send our entire consortium to the police station tomorrow?

Adhering to the principle of nipping in the bud any sign of trouble, the Xuanyuan Group can be said to be extremely cruel to the outside world.

Let's not call the police. Xuanyuan Ning was under 20 and drinking alcohol was indeed against the law. Kawasaki Saki was watching not far away...

"Xuanyuan, why are you here?"

"Xiao Ning!"

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui came over one after another and greeted Xuanyuan Ning at the same time.

Yukinoshita Haruno was so envious that she wished she could go back to Sobu High School.

Of course, the premise is that Xuanyuan Ning is there.

In Yukinoshita Haruno's opinion, only the purest friendship in school can truly gain Xuanyuan Ning's friendship.

"Maid cafes really don't suit me, so I thought of asking Yang No-nee to go drink somewhere suitable for me, and we came here."

While explaining to Hikigaya Hachiman, Xuanyuan Ning distanced himself from the fact that Yukinoshita Haruno came here to drink with him.

Bad taste is just for fun, not to destroy other people's family relationships.

After achieving his goal, Xuanyuan Ning of course had to explain the matter clearly to Yukinoshita Yukino, so as to prevent the two sisters from having conflicts when they returned home.

If the sisterly relationship that had finally been restored were to be shattered by my own whim...

That...

Xuanyuan Ning had no choice.

It's impossible to ask Xuanyuan Ning to use 502 to restore the relationship between the two sisters.

After hearing Xuanyuan Ning's explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze towards Yukinoshita Haruno softened a little.

As long as Yukinoshita Haruno doesn't take the initiative to snatch Xuanyuan Ning, it's fine.

Xuanyuan Ning is a human being, not a pet cat, nor a doll of Mr. Pan. It is impossible for him to always be around her. Yukinoshita Yukino is very clear about this.

The reason why she was so indifferent to Yukinoshita Haruno just now was because Yukinoshita Yukino thought that Yukinoshita Haruno was deliberately trying to snatch Xuanyuan Ning away.

"The cafe is not suitable for you? The bar is suitable for you, right?" Hikigaya Hachiman said unhappily.

If Xuanyuan Ning wants to drink, why doesn’t he drink at home?

Why did they come here to drink? Hikigaya Hachiman thought and turned around to look at the Yukinoshita sisters.

"Hikigaya, if your head is full of unhealthy thoughts, then I really wish you could just be a paramecium."

"Hikigaya-kun, it's very rude to peek at girls."

The Yukinoshita sisters' sixth sense simultaneously detected Hikigaya Hachiman's impending small movements, and they both issued warnings that were very suitable for their personalities.

A chill ran up my spine.

His head, which had been slightly tilted, suddenly straightened back to its original position. Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Xuanyuan Ning very seriously, trying his best to ignore the two gazes behind him.

"Yes, Xiao Ning. We are not yet 20 years old, and things like drinking in bars..." Yuigahama Yui tactfully did not finish her words.

"But this bar is my business."

"It should be okay for me to come to my own property and drink, right?"

No matter how, Xuanyuan Ning shocked everyone with just one sentence.

Swallowing unconsciously, Hikigaya Hachiman's voice trembled: "[Angel Ladder], is it... your property, Xuanyuan?"

The top floor of the Royal Okura Hotel, [Angel Ladder], is my property.

Hikigaya Hachiman felt very strange, as his Chinese language score was clearly in the top five.

Why don’t I recognize these three sentences when they are put together?

So strange, why is this happening?

The first person to come back to his senses was Yukinoshita Haruno. No wonder Xuanyuan Ning was silent at that time.

I invited him here to drink with my friend, but in Xuanyuan Ning's eyes, it was probably no different from inviting him to his house for a drink.

"Xuanyuan, this is not true, tell me it is not true!!!"

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes were red. He grabbed Xuanyuan Ning's arm and shook the boy back and forth wildly, growling through gritted teeth.

I am afraid that my brother will have a hard time, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover.

What's more, for Xuanyuan Ning, it's no longer a question of whether he can drive a Land Rover or not.

Even though Hachiman Hikigaya was extremely jealous, his low growl at this time did not disturb the other guests.

He really... I cried my heart out.

Meow!

Xuanyuan Ning hadn't reacted yet, but the little candy in his arms was shaken to the point of being frizzy.

It will attack in Spinosaurus form!

With her gradually arched back and emerald cat eyes, and a low growl coming from her mouth, Little Candy glared at Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Hey...hehe...I was just joking." Letting go of Xuanyuan Ning's arm, Hikigaya Hachiman smiled awkwardly and took a step back.

It’s not that Hikigaya Hachiman was scared by the little candy, but the cat’s eyes, set against the cool environment of the bar, reminded Hikigaya Hachiman of the big white cat named "Zhou Zhou" in Xuanyuan Ning's family.

"Hachiman, actually you already have the answer in your heart, right?" Xuanyuan Ning comforted the angry little Candy.

"So you were led to my side by Kawasaki-san's misfortune?"

After putting the comforted little Candy on his shoulder, Xuanyuan Ning asked Yukinoshita Yukino why she came to him so quickly.

This was not part of my plan.

The normal process should be that you admire Saki Kawasaki and Yukinoshita Yukino and see who is right, and finally the Yukinoshita sisters meet.

"Yeah." Hikigaya Hachiman had no intention of hiding anything for Kawasaki Saki, and this kind of thing could not be hidden even if he wanted to.

Snapped--

Xuanyuan Ning snapped his fingers.

"Master."

The bar manager, who had been paying attention to Xuanyuan Ning, noticed Xuanyuan Ning snapping his fingers. Before the sound came, he had already walked quickly towards Xuanyuan Ning.

He really wanted to improve.

Pointing at Saki Kawasaki who was wiping a new wine glass at the bar, Xuanyuan Ning instructed the bar manager.

"Open her up."

Chapter 167: Position, Interests, and Competition

The soothing piano music cannot soothe every guest.

There were no guests arriving for the time being, and Saki Kawasaki kept an eye on Yukinoshita Yukino and the others, wanting to see how they would respond to Xuanyuan Ning's drinking.

What Saki Kawasaki didn't expect was that she lost this high-paying job just because she mentioned that Xuanyuan Ning was drinking not far away.

Not only was Saki Kawasaki stunned, but even Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman did not expect...Xuanyuan Ning would directly fire Saki Kawasaki.

"Mr. Kawasaki, would you like a drink?" Xuanyuan Ning noticed Saki Kawasaki walking over and raised the glass in his hand towards her.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ning knew Saki Kawasaki and informed the bar manager that Saki Kawasaki was fired, he tactfully did not stop Saki Kawasaki, but quietly moved to the corner.

"Xuan..."

"Hachiman, this bar is my property and my money bag."

"Kawasaki concealed the truth about his situation and came here to work. It's good that nothing happened now. If something did happen, people would report this bar for illegally employing students."

"If something happens to me, this bar will be shut down. Will you help me shoulder the responsibility?"

The smile on his face disappeared, Xuanyuan Ning put the wine glass back on the table, looked at Hikigaya Hachiman and said seriously.

The goody-goody Hachiman Hikigaya has not yet seen the true situation of the matter and is completely looking at the problem from the perspective of Saki Kawasaki, the "weaker party".

He only considered that Xuanyuan Ning used his "power" to fire Saki Kawasaki, and did not consider that Saki Kawasaki's actions were a violation of the rules.

If I hide my real age and work late into the night without being discovered, everything will be fine.

If it were discovered and reported, the real losers would be the bar and its actual owner Xuanyuan Ning.

Saki Kawasaki could just go back to her school life or find a part-time job after being told off by the police.

But this bar is not like that. They let Saki Kawasaki go to work without confirming her real information. No matter how you look at it, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the bar staff.

Ding,

Twelve o'clock has arrived.

"Kawasaki-san, is there anything you want to tell me?"

No longer looking at Hikigaya Hachiman who lowered his head like a quail, Xuanyuan Ning turned his gaze to Kawasaki Saki who had already arrived here, wanting to see what Kawasaki Saki thought about this.

Yukinoshita Yukino was about to stand up and say something, but Yukinoshita Haruno pulled her to her side and prevented her from getting involved.

Xuanyuan Ningke is not a student now, but a businessman.

Businessmen have no emotions and only care about profits.

"There's nothing much to say. It's indeed the truth that I concealed."

Without arguing with Xuanyuan Ning, nor getting angry and saying that Xuanyuan Ning himself was violating the law, Saki Kawasaki nodded and admitted her mistake.

[Angel's Stairway] As the highest-end bar in Chiba, the treatment is also the best.

The reason why Saki Kawasaki lied about the true situation was that it gave too much.

Now that her identity has been exposed and she has been fired from her job, Saki Kawasaki is not unable to accept it.

From the moment she lied about the situation, she understood that this was a gamble. If she won, she would make enough money, but if she lost, she would just be kicked out.

Now, she lost the bet.

"Oh? It seems you know better than someone else."

Xuanyuan Ning was prepared that Saki Kawasaki would bring up his drinking problem, but he didn't expect that she would accept his dismissal so calmly.

This inevitably made Xuanyuan Ning look at Saki Kawasaki with a higher regard.

"Thank you."

To the surprise of the service club members, Kawasaki Saki not only did not cause trouble for Xuanyuan Ning, but also thanked the young man, although her tone was very cold.

"Xue-no, it seems your classmate is quite sensible."

Yukinoshita Haruno released the hand that was holding Yukinoshita Yukino's wrist, and leaned close to Yukinoshita Yukino's ear to whisper to her sister.

Saki Kawasaki's thanks were not for Xuanyuan Ning firing her, but also for Xuanyuan Ning firing her.

Having worked part-time many times, Saki Kawasaki has some understanding of the dark side of society.

When most bosses find out that you are working against the rules, their first thought is how to exploit you more efficiently and cheaply.

You work diligently for a whole month, and when your salary is settled at the end of the month, you are told that you are fired because your work violation is not legally recognized.

Or they will keep lowering your wages, exchanging your cheap labor for completely disproportionate wages.

Although Xuanyuan Ning fired Saki Kawasaki, she did not deduct a cent from her salary for working here.

"Aqi? Why would Kawasaki-san come to Xiaoning to thank him?"

The external brain was pulled away by Yukinoshita Haruno, and Yuigahama Yui, who couldn't see the situation clearly, had to whisper to Hikigaya Hachiman for help.

"I don't know." Hikigaya Hachiman, who was in a state of self-blame, shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand the twists and turns.

Hikigaya Hachiman's mind is now very confused. Between Xuanyuan Ning and Kawasaki Saki, it is obvious that Xuanyuan Ning is closer to him.

But why did he subconsciously ask Xuanyuan Ning why he fired Saki Kawasaki at that time?

This made Hikigaya Hachiman, who had always been extremely rational, feel confused.

Without understanding the "real" situation, just because Xuanyuan Ning fired Saki Kawasaki, Hachiman Hikigaya unconsciously stood on the side of Saki Kawasaki, who was in a weaker position.

Why is this...

This is because Hikigaya Hachiman has always been the weaker party, so his tenderness will be subconsciously given to the weaker party, and he is also fantasizing that he, who is weak, will be saved by someone.
