Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Miura Yumiko abruptly changed the subject, then, feeling that she was threatening Lin Qianshu, she added, "Even if you don't come to my house, I will still help you."

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted you to help me make an appointment with Hayama." Lin Qianshu thought for a moment and then added, "Also, isn't Hayama and Yukinoshita elementary school classmates?"

"Hayama? He is indeed Yukinoshita's elementary school classmate. You're asking about this... Never mind, I'll talk to him for you. When would you like to meet him?" Miura Yumiko really wanted to ask Hayashi Chiki what she wanted to see Hayama for, but then the other party mentioned Yukinoshita, so she figured it must be related to Yukinoshita and didn't ask any more questions.

The only reason it was Lin Qianshu who came was because if it had been someone else asking her for this favor, Miura Yumiko might not have agreed.

After all, she only harbored hostility towards Yukinoshita because of Hayama. Now you're telling her to bother Hayama because of Yukinoshita? Isn't that ridiculous?

However, Lin Qianshu was different. First, the other party had an unusual relationship with Yukinoshita. Second, he needed her help. Finally, Miura felt that Lin Qianshu's approach to Hayama would not have a negative impact on her or the entire popular social group.

With all these factors combined, Miura Yumiko naturally had no reason to refuse Hayashi Chiki.

"This weekend, perhaps. We're currently in the midst of regular exams, and I don't want this to affect your grades," Lin Qianshu said.

“Okay, then…” Miura Yumiko had no objection. She opened her mouth as if to say something but then hesitated.

Lin Qianshu knew what Miura Yumiko wanted to say, but the problem was that Lin Qianshu didn't know why she had invited him to her home, and so suddenly at that. Obviously, there was another reason, and Lin Qianshu would not agree under any circumstances until he figured it out.

After sharing this concern with Yumiko Miura, she remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Actually..."

Miura Yumiko didn't hide anything from Lin Qianshu, telling him why she had invited him to her home. She even spoke candidly about the allowance her father had promised and her speculations about why he had invited Lin Qianshu over. She believed that he simply wanted to use Lin Qianshu's connections to ensure the continuation of her family's company's contract with Lin's International.

She is pragmatic and realistic, but Yumiko Miura did not beautify or cover it up. This is also part of her personality, making her very genuine.

The main idea is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

"So that's how it is." Lin Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was something else entirely, but it turned out to be this.

Last time I met Uncle Li at [Angel's Ladder], quite a few people saw him there, including the owner of [Angel's Ladder]. He is acquainted with the Miura family and obviously saw Yumiko at the time. I guess he mentioned it to Yumiko's family afterwards, and since her family's company's contract was expiring, that's why he made this invitation.

"Will you come?" Miura Yumiko looked at Lin Qianshu nervously. To be honest, she regretted it after she told Lin Qianshu everything and shared her guesses.

She could simply say that her father wanted to meet Lin Qianshu, and there was no need to reveal the rest of the speculation. If she messed things up because of this, the pocket money would be a small matter, but the impact on the family company would be a much bigger problem.

"You've put it this way, wouldn't it be disrespectful of you if I didn't go?" Lin Qianshu said with a smile, while adding in his mind, "Even if I don't give you face, I should at least give Yuanli some face, right?"

After receiving Lin Qianshu's affirmative reply, Miura Yumiko breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she sincerely said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Let me make it clear beforehand that my influence isn't as great as you think. I'm just a member of a collateral branch of the family, and I haven't started working yet. I have no say in the family business, so even if I go to your house, I probably won't be able to give any guarantees." Lin Qianshu gave them a heads-up in advance.

Yumiko Miura expressed her understanding upon hearing this. In any case, her father only asked her to bring Lin Qianshu home, which she had done and tried her best to accomplish. As for what happened afterward, it was none of her business.

Business cooperation is all about mutual consent. Lin Qianshu doesn't owe her anything. Her family wants to make money, and Lin Qianshu's family certainly wants to make money too. If the contract isn't renewed in the end, it's definitely because one of them isn't making money. Under such circumstances, it's obviously impossible to force a renewal.

Yumiko Miura isn't some fairy princess; she doesn't think she's important enough to be compared to Yukichi Fukuzawa.

As for the family collateral branch that Lin Qianshu mentioned, Miura Yumiko did not believe it completely. She was not stupid. If it was really just a family collateral branch, why would Uncle Li, the president of Lin's International Japan branch, be so respectful to Lin Qianshu?

Even if, as Lin Qianshu said, he had no influence in his family, as long as the other party had the connection of Uncle Li, it was already enough for her family.

On the other hand, Lin Qianshu, having learned the whole story, naturally wouldn't just go there unprepared. After all, it was a request for help, and although it was only gray-level, it was enough to make Lin Qianshu take it a little more seriously.

Lin Qianshu planned to go directly to Uncle Li and hear his thoughts. If it worked, great; if not, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't possibly cause trouble for Uncle Li just for a little bit of wish power, could he?

Chapter 54 Negative Textbook Hayama Hayato

The week-long regular exams have all ended, and the specific results will not be available until after the weekend. Therefore, the results of the competition between Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita will not be available until next Monday.

Although the results are not yet out, both of them are quite confident in their performance, and they are even considering what kind of promises they want the other to keep.

Yukino Yukinoshita had made up her mind. After winning the victory, she didn't plan to let Chiki Hayashi delete the video he recorded that day. That would be too easy on him.

Lin Qianshu likes maid outfits, right? Then let him put on a maid outfit and film a video with her. Only by creating an equal deterrent can peace be maintained.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianshu had figured out how to use his resources. After a week of hard work, Lin Qianshu had pieced together a rough idea of ​​what Yukino Yukinoshita's experiences were like during her elementary school years.

Once he finds Hayato Hayama to complete the last piece of the puzzle, he will confront Yukino, and this condition is set to prevent Yukino Yukinoshita from running away.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yukino Yukinoshita initially established the Service Club with the reason of "changing people's weaknesses in order to change the world." In reality, even Yukinoshita herself has her own weaknesses. It was because Lin Qianshu saw this clearly that she decided to use this hard-won opportunity for this.

The appointment with Hayato Hayama was set for Saturday morning at a newly opened coffee shop near the city library. Lin Chishu had seen a dessert there online that looked delicious, so she decided to take the opportunity to try it. If it was good, she would bring some back for Yukinoshita so that she could research it and make it for him.

Plan passes.

With wicked thoughts in mind, Lin Qianshu walked into the store and found that Hayama Hayato had already arrived. For some reason, there were several girls surrounding him. Didn't they agree to meet alone?

What does this mean? Is it to show off one's social skills?

Just as Lin Qianshu was trying to figure out Ye Shan's motives with the utmost malice, the other party also discovered him.

Hayato Hayama gave the girls around him an apologetic yet polite smile and said a few words. The girls then dispersed. Hayama then waved to Chisato Lin, as if to say hello and invite Chisato Lin to sit down.

You know what, this newly opened store is quite popular. It's only morning, and the seats are almost all taken.

"Good morning, Lin Qianshu. Youmeizi said you wanted to see me?"

As soon as he sat down, Ye Shan displayed amazing social skills, speaking politely and confidently. Even towards Lin Qianshu, a classmate who hadn't spoken much since the start of the semester, he exuded a comfortable and approachable charm.

This shows that the reason he became a core member of the "normie group" was not simply because of his sunny appearance.

"Good morning. I do have some questions I'd like to ask you, Ye Shan." Lin Qianshu sat down in front of Ye Shan, picked up the menu, and said, "Let's order a coffee first, and chat over it. It's on me, as a small apology for troubling you to come out with me on the weekend."

"It's no trouble at all. We're classmates, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Besides, I've wanted to get to know you, Lin Qianshu, for a long time," Ye Shan replied with a smile. He didn't refuse Lin Qianshu's invitation and generously ordered a reasonably priced mocha.

Lin Qianshu ordered a latte and three of the shop's signature desserts, one to go and two to eat on the spot.

"I heard from others that Hayama-san and Yukinoshita were elementary school classmates, is that true?" Lin Qianshu didn't beat around the bush and asked after ordering the food.

“Yes, my family and the Yukinoshita family are old friends, so we went to the same elementary school. Why are you asking this?” Hayama Hayato was taken aback, but quickly realized what was going on and gave a clear answer.

"I've heard some things mentioned by others, and I'm curious, so I wanted to ask you to verify them," Lin Qianshu said.

"Verification?" Ye Shan looked puzzled, but for some reason, he had some idea of ​​what Lin Qianshu was going to say next.

"Yes, regarding Yukino Yukinoshita, was she bullied during elementary school?"

After Lin Qianshu finished speaking, he noticed that the smile that Hayama Hayato always had on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by seriousness.

Ye Shan asked seriously, "Who told you that?"

Lin Qianshu replied, "It's Yuki no Hiyano."

It was indeed Yang Nai who brought it up, but she didn't mention bullying; it was just a trick Lin Qianshu played.

But you have to admit, this title is quite useful. As soon as the name Yukinoshita was mentioned, Lin Qianshu could clearly feel that Hayama Hayato's expression softened, and a bitter emotion began to permeate his body.

"Is that so..." Ye Shan's voice was somewhat low.

"Hello, your coffee and desserts."

Just then, their coffee arrived, along with dessert. Lin Qianshu put the takeout aside and then pushed one of the two ready-to-eat desserts in front of Ye Shan.

"Thank you," Ye Shan replied politely, then took a deep breath and asked, "Since Yang Nai-nee told you about this, there's no need to ask me again, right?"

"She only mentioned it briefly, without going into details. And since it concerns one of my few friends, I'd like to know more. Would you mind telling me?" Lin Qianshu replied tactfully.

Hayama knew that the few friends Lin Chishu mentioned were Yukino Yukinoshita, and it was for this reason that Hayama said he had wanted to get to know Lin Chishu for a long time when they first met.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it, it's just that I don't know where to begin, and for certain reasons it's a bit difficult to talk about," Ye Shan replied with a wry smile.

According to normal social etiquette, Lin Qianshu should have tactfully stopped asking questions at this point, but unfortunately, that was precisely why Lin Qianshu came today.

Therefore, after hearing Ye Shan's words, Lin Qianshu took a sip of coffee and then said, "Please explain in detail."

Hayama: ...

Seeing that Lin Qianshu was pressing for answers, Ye Shan knew that he probably couldn't escape today.

However, he didn't intend to run away. Since Lin Qianshu got the information from Yang Nai, it meant that the other party had already gained Yang Nai's approval and was someone who could be trusted.

Thinking of this, Hayama organized his thoughts slightly and recalled from his own perspective what happened to an individual named Yukino Yukinoshita when he was in elementary school.

The content wasn't much, nor was it particularly complex. It was pretty much what Lin Qianshu had expected: it was simply that because of her outstanding abilities, she was ostracized and marginalized by her classmates, and then the situation worsened further due to Ye Shan's self-righteous help, eventually escalating into a large-scale bullying incident.

Basically, it involves isolating her during physical education class, not taking her to lunch, collectively ignoring her during school trips, and keeping her indoor shoes in the classic collection.

How should I put it? This might not seem like much to adults, but for a primary school student, it can cause serious psychological trauma.

It's more accurate to say that after all that, Yukino Yukinoshita's ability to still reach such an excellent level is nothing short of a miracle.

"That's roughly it. Because of my immaturity back then, I caused her irreparable harm, which is why I find it hard to talk about." Ye Shan frankly admitted his mistake. After speaking, he let out a long sigh, his face devoid of any smile.

Even he himself was somewhat surprised, never expecting that he would tell this story to a stranger one day.

"It's indeed quite immature. You don't help to the end, and you don't even think about making amends when you're wrong. But it's understandable, since for you, 'everyone' is everything." Lin Qianshu pointed out Ye Shan's biggest problem without any politeness.

Ye Shan opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it, because what Lin Qianshu said was true, but there was one thing he had to correct: he had thought about making amends.

"It's just that it's impossible," Lin Qianshu provided the answer for him.

"……Yes."

After missing the best opportunity, there was no way to undo it, and Haruno would not give Hayama a second chance.

"Alright, thanks for satisfying my wicked curiosity today. I've finished asking my questions. Well, although it sounds a bit cheesy, I think at least you're acting like a man in admitting your mistakes."

Is this a case of giving a beating followed by a sweet treat?

"If you think it is, then it is."

Lin Qianshu had no intention of being friends with someone like Ye Shan, so she spoke frankly and directly.

Ye Shan wasn't annoyed. If he got angry so easily, he wouldn't be called the kind-hearted Ye Shan.

"So can you answer one question for me?" Hayama asked.

Lin Qianshu finished his coffee, picked up the last piece of cake, and said, "Ask away."

"What are you going to do next?"

"I've satisfied my curiosity by doing nothing, so let's leave it at that."

After listening to Hayama's account, Lin Qianshu no longer intended to ask Yukino about the matter.

While Yukino Yukinoshita's request for a reward was tempting, Lin Qianshu didn't believe he was so wicked as to harm his friend for the sake of wish points.

After all, for some people, recalling past memories is also a kind of hurt. Since Yukino Yukinoshita has already moved on, there is no need for Chiki Hayashi to reopen her wounds and make her heal again just because they are not fully healed.

Moreover, even without doing so, Lin Qianshu might still be able to fulfill Yukinoshita Haruno's request.

Ultimately, while Yukinoshita Haruno hinted to Hayashi Chiki that he should ask Yukinoshita Yukino, she didn't force him to get the answer from Yukinoshita Yukino herself.

Moreover, given Haruno's personality, her act of asking Yukino Yukinoshita might very well be a trap she set for herself.

If you truly care about someone, you should put yourself in their shoes and consider their perspective, instead of expecting them to act based on your own assumptions.

Be wary of two unauthorized actions, starting with yourself.

"That's it?"

Upon hearing Lin Qianshu's words, Ye Shan looked astonished. "You called me over and tortured me, and in the end you're telling me you don't plan to do anything?"

“That’s enough!” Lin Qianshu gave his approval.

"This..." Ye Shan didn't know what to say.

Lin Qianshu, however, shrugged without any awareness and said, "I'm not a god, and I didn't cause the damage to Yukina. I won't take the blame for someone else's mistakes for no reason."

"Besides..."

Lin Qianshu gave Ye Shan a meaningful look and said, "Isn't there a living example of what not to do right in front of me?"

Hayama: ...

Hayato Hayama left looking like he was questioning his existence, and Chiki Hayashi didn't bother to see him off.

After their conversation, it was almost noon. Lin Qianshu thought about finding a place to kill some time until lunchtime, and then eating out before going back.

Since the Chiba City Library was nearby, Lin Qianshu decided to take today's 'photographic memory' book to buy some supplies.

However, after he swiped his card to enter the library, he found himself in an empty corridor, and his emotional senses began to react...
