Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

When will my sister make a comeback? Stop guessing! I have inside information: it's because of family issues.

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the group. Some asked the administrator where the inside information came from, some questioned the administrator for spreading false information, and some even created alternate accounts to say that Mai Sakurajima stopped her acting career because she wanted to start a family with him.

Wow, you're quite persistent.

The person who used the alternate account was kicked out of the group chat along with their main account. However, the members of the fan group were used to it. After all, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and Mai Sakurajima's fan base is quite large. Similar outrageous incidents are everywhere.

After thinking it over, Lin Qianshu also started to stir things up, opening two accounts: one to question the authenticity of the administrator's statements, and the other to become the administrator's loyal defender.

The former kept raising questions, while the latter seemed to be trying to cover up for the administrator, but in reality, they were trying to lure the administrator out to testify.

After a back-and-forth exchange, the other party did reveal some information, but still lacked conclusive evidence. Moreover, it seemed that the other party had seen through Lin Qianshu's trick, or perhaps they had something else to deal with in reality, and soon disappeared.

As soon as the administrator left, the topic inevitably veered off course, and then chaos ensued, utterly outrageous.

Unable to bear the sight, Lin Qianshu quickly saved some of Mai Sakurajima's beautiful photos, then casually sent a friend request to the administrator who appeared to be an insider, before closing the group chat.

Lin Qianshu received another message as soon as she closed the group chat.

It was sent by Yumiko Miura, asking if he had time tomorrow night.

Previously, Miura Yumiko's father had asked her to invite Hayashi Chiki to his home because of a company contract issue, seemingly hoping to find a breakthrough through him. Hayashi Chiki agreed.

Afterwards, he asked Uncle Li, and the reply he received was that everything was up to him, meaning that whether the contract could be renewed was entirely up to Lin Qianshu to decide.

It's worth mentioning that Uncle Li seemed to have known about Miura's family company for a long time, so when Lin Qianshu asked this question, he gave a reply without much thought.

Such a performance inevitably made Lin Qianshu somewhat puzzled; wasn't this a bit too hasty?

Lin Qianshu's original idea was to provide the Miura family with a channel to communicate with Uncle Li, but now it has become a matter of letting him decide whether or not to renew the contract.

The implications of these two statements are vastly different.

Putting everything else aside, if Lin Qianshu had even the slightest ulterior motive, he could easily have earned millions or even tens of millions of yen in commissions without even having to take any responsibility for it.

If we go any further, the movie plot might just become a reality.

Yumiko, you don't want the family company to go bankrupt, do you?

"The Fallen Daughter of Gold".xxx

It can't be broadcast anymore!

Of course, Lin Qianshu would never do that. After all, dealing with Miura Yumiko would not require so much effort, and it might not even be effective. Moreover, it would involve legal risks, which was not worthwhile no matter how you looked at it.

More than these trivial matters, Lin Qianshu was concerned with the meaning behind this incident.

Although he is surnamed Lin and has Lin family blood, the problem is that in terms of kinship, he is only a collateral branch of the family, and he is also a high school student who has not graduated and has never received relevant professional training, yet he has been given such great power. This matter is abnormal from beginning to end.

If such great power were granted simply because he shares the surname Lin and has some kinship, then the Lin family could never have reached its current level of power.

When Lin Qianshu raised this question with Uncle Li, Uncle Li simply told Lin Qianshu not to overthink it. He said that the matter wasn't as important as he thought, and that whether or not the contract was renewed wouldn't have a significant impact on them.

In short, it doesn't matter who renews the contract, whether it's the Miura family or another company. As the client, Lin's International is in an unassailable position. It doesn't matter who gets this job; there's no difference.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianshu not only did not feel relieved, but became even more suspicious.

It was precisely because this meal was given to whoever received it that he felt something was wrong.

Since it doesn't matter who gets the reward, why doesn't the Lin Group just absorb it internally?

You should know that there are quite a few people with the same surname as him in the Lin Group. There are also many filthy things in the Lin family. Why should this good thing fall into his lap?

Just because Miura Yumiko was his classmate?

How could that be? When talking about this matter, Uncle Li didn't mention Miura's name at all. In terms of size, the Miura family is about the same size as the Lin family, like an ant.

Hmm... Could it be that his family discovered his extraordinary talent and that he'll eventually stop eating beef, so they're investing in him in advance?

Regardless of the truth behind this matter, Lin Qianshu had no reason to turn away the benefits he had already gained.

If it really is some kind of sugar-coated bullet, with the system by his side, he is confident that he can eat the sugar coating and fire the bullet back.

Thinking this, Lin Qianshu's phone vibrated again.

Miura Yumiko: What does "read but not replied" mean?

Chapter 59 Yumiko, Your Allowance Triples

That's the downside of Japanese social media apps; once you open one, the other person will show "read," making it impossible to pretend you're not there.

Lin Qianshu: I was busy with something just now and couldn't free my hands. When you have time, send me your home address.

Yumiko Miura: No need, I'll pick you up then.

Lin Qianshu: So solemn?

Yumiko rolled her eyes on the other end of the phone. It was more than just solemn; judging from her father's manner, even her grandfather had never been this grand when he came to her house.

Even while they were chatting, Miura's father pretended to read the newspaper, but in reality, he was keeping a close eye on what was happening on their side.

It was precisely because of her father's behavior that Miura Yumiko truly realized the power of Hayashi Chiki and his family.

Moreover, judging from my father's condition, if the contract cannot be renewed, the consequences will likely be far more severe than just serious damage.

Thinking about this, Miura Yumiko's mood became a little heavy, and her attitude towards Hayashi Chiki also underwent some inexplicable changes.

Weekend night.

Yumiko Miura arrived at the building where Chiki Hayashi lived as promised, in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class minivan.

It's clear that Miura Yumiko dressed up nicely for the dinner party today. Although she didn't wear an evening gown like she did for "Angel's Ladder," her makeup, jewelry, and other details showed how much she valued the event.

After a brief greeting, Lin Qianshu sat in the back row, and Miura Yumiko followed suit, with an armrest separating them.

The car started, and since neither of them spoke again after exchanging greetings, the atmosphere inside was somewhat subdued.

Seemingly unable to bear the atmosphere, but unsure what to say, Miura Yumiko hesitated for a long time before finally managing to ask, "How did you feel about the exam?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be first; if something unexpected happens, it will be second."

Lin Qianshu had already estimated the score. The science exam this time wasn't too difficult, so the score difference between her and Xue Zhixia wouldn't be too big. The key to victory or defeat would basically be the essay.

His essays were standard exam essays, certainly not as inspired as those written by Yukino, but with systematic training and a large amount of reading as a foundation, his final score was unlikely to be too bad.

So even if the final score is released, the difference between him and Yukinoshita will only be around five points.

However, in the end, he still hadn't accumulated enough experience. If Lin Qianshu had been given more time to develop, he would have been fully confident in suppressing Yukinoshita.

If both have cheat codes and are still evenly matched, then what's the point of my cheat code?

"First and second?" Miura Yumiko's first reaction was that Hayashi Chiki was bragging, because in her mind, those two positions were basically monopolized by Yukino Yukinoshita and Hayato Hayama.

Even though Hachiman is third in the humanities, he still lags behind these two.

"Yeah, the science exam was a bit too easy this time. Even if I got a perfect score, I couldn't pull away from Yukinoshita by much." Lin Qianshu sighed.

“Simple…” Miura Yumiko’s lips twitched slightly after hearing Lin Qianshu’s words.

Was it easy? She didn't feel that the exam was easy at all. She would have been satisfied with just reaching the class average, let alone getting a perfect score.

Obviously, one cannot generalize between people. Although Miura Yumiko believed that Hayashi Chiki could get a perfect score in science, she was still skeptical that he could get the highest score overall.

The reason is simple: Lin Qianshu's humanities grades were really bad before.

Because of her family situation, and considering Lin Qianshu's previous performance, Miura Yumiko made a point of learning about him a few days ago. She discovered that his Chinese language grades were abysmal, even worse than Yuihama's!

It doesn't seem like something you can catch up to through cramming.

During their conversation, they soon arrived at their destination. The Miura family's house was a detached villa in an affluent area, though it wasn't very large, considered to be of mid-range status in the area.

Upon arriving at the villa, Lin Qianshu received a warm welcome from Miura's parents. The host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely, and no one mentioned anything about business. It was as if they were simply entertaining their daughter's classmate.

The problem is that this level of hospitality is clearly excessive for classmates, and even more so for a son-in-law.

This situation continued until the end of the dinner, when Miura's father clearly couldn't hold back any longer.

He never expected Lin Qianshu to be so composed. His daughter should have mentioned the company's situation to the other party, but Lin Qianshu acted as if she knew nothing about it and didn't say a word about it throughout the entire meal.

Even when he deliberately steered the conversation in a certain direction, the other party skillfully defused it. It was as if the other party knew what he was thinking. The rhythm of the whole conversation seemed to be led by him, but in reality, it was firmly controlled by the other party.

If he hadn't known the other person was a high school student, Miura's father would have thought he'd run into a seasoned businessman!

Are all the children of wealthy families this outstanding these days?

As time ticked by, Miura's father finally made up his mind to stop playing games with this little fox.

However, just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Qianshu say, "Uncle Miura, why don't we go to the study to have a chat?"

Miura's father: ...

It was like having phlegm stuck in your throat, unable to go in or out, so you could only agree in the end.

So the two of them went into the study.

Miura Yumiko was left outside. She had overheard Lin Qianshu's conversation with her father, but to be honest, she didn't understand much of it.

Unlike the interpersonal interactions on campus, Lin Qianshu's conversations with her father were somewhat rambling. For example, one second they were talking about campus life, and the next second they would jump to the international situation, leaving people completely baffled.

Although she didn't understand the conversation, she clearly saw Lin Qianshu say to go to the study at the end.

It was clearly her father who was already impatient and wanted to confront her, but Lin Qianshu just happened to be at that moment and suggested going to the study for a detailed discussion.

It's obvious who holds the initiative.

Even though Lin Qianshu was naturally in an unassailable position due to the contract, this result still exceeded Miura Yumiko's expectations.

You see, in her mind, her father had always been an elite figure, but she ended up losing the conversation with a boy in her class who had always been relatively unknown.

This left Miura Yumiko with mixed feelings. Originally, according to her plan, her task would be completed after bringing Lin Qianshu over, and the rest would be none of her business. She should have been back in her room to do her own thing by now.

For some reason, she chose to stay in the living room on the first floor and quietly wait for them to finish their conversation and come out.

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened, and her father appeared with a broad smile. The faint worry that had been on his face earlier was completely gone, and he was clearly satisfied with the result.

Lin Qianshu also had a smile on her face, but it wasn't as obvious as her father's. However, she didn't seem to have suffered a loss; rather, it was more like... she was in complete control.

Miura Yumiko didn't understand why, after sending Hayashi Chiki home, she found her elderly father still sitting on the sofa when she returned home.

Upon seeing Yumiko return, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but perhaps out of consideration for his father, he could only mutter, "Yumiko, your allowance will be tripled."

PS: This free chapter is to make up for the previous paid launch message that I made before. Including this chapter, this completes the 5 chapters.

Chapter 60 A lose-lose situation? Cooperation and win-win!

The weekend holiday is over, and it's Monday. The results of last week's regular exams will all be announced today, which is why the atmosphere in the classroom is a bit tense.

One class was full of laughter, the next class was no longer so. In short, some people were happy while others were sad. Those students who had planned their review in advance and whose grades were already good had to put on a bitter and resentful look in this atmosphere, as if they hadn't done well on the test, just to fit in with the group.

However, Lin Qianshu is clearly not among those mentioned above. He always laughs whenever he can, and the less others laugh, the more he laughs.

As a result, whether in his first year of high school or now, he has never been very popular.

"Aki, Senju-san, I've made great progress in history, and math too! I think the last time I got this high was back in elementary school! The book club we organized before definitely paid off!" Yui-hama's tone was unusually excited.

Lin Qianshu reasonably suspected that she had been suppressing her emotions in Yumiko's small group for a long time and came to them to vent her feelings.

After all, their Service Club is different from the Reality Club. Everyone there is a high-scoring individual, which is completely different from the Reality Club, where there is a mix of good and bad members and a serious problem of low-scoring members sticking together. Therefore, the atmosphere within the group is also very different.

Even so, Yuihama's hard work these past few days has been evident to all, and her progress is well-deserved. Lin Qianshu still congratulated her:

"Oh, my dear."

"Hehe, this is all thanks to Yukino, Aki, and Chiki-san."

"Speaking of which, how's your bet with Yukinoshita going? You should be able to calculate the total score by now, right?" Hachiman asked.

Although Zongwu High School values ​​student performance, it does not publish exam rankings; students need to ask their teachers for specific rankings.

"I'll go ask." Lin Qianshu's essay score was much higher than expected this time, so he was quite confident of winning the bet.

It's clear that the examiners this time have a strong preference for 'formatted' essays, since they are easier to grade and greatly reduce the workload for the examiners...

Hearing Lin Qianshu say this, the other two also quieted down, their eyes focusing on his phone in unison.

Interestingly, although the bet only involved Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita, Yuihama and Hikigaya seemed to care more about it than the parties involved.

Even Saki Kawasaki, a member of the Ghost Club, noticed the conversation between the group from a short distance away and secretly perked up her ears, seemingly eager to know the outcome of the match between Yukinoshita and Chiki Hayashi.

If you ask Lin Qianshu how he knew... in his emotional perception radar, the 'curiosity' in Kawasaki Saki was so intense it was as if it had been amplified.

Although she still acts as 'calm and collected' in real life, she occasionally looks away as if she doesn't care when she makes eye contact with Lin Qianshu because she is too focused on this side. It can only be said that she understands the contrast.
