"......Mr. Xia didn't go to work?"

The next day, Du Yuanzhe slept until he woke up naturally again. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Xia Ningmi working in the living room, which startled him and woke him up completely.

Xia Ningmi continued tapping the keyboard and said, "Someone will be here soon."

Du Yuanzhe looked at the entrance and said, "Then I'll go out for a walk first."

Xia Ningmi let them live together under the pretext of being boyfriend and girlfriend, but they were only slightly more familiar with each other than strangers.

Du Yuanzhe didn't want to introduce this fake relationship to others.

Jingle Bells——

Before Du Yuanzhe could go back to his room to change clothes, the doorbell rang.

Du Yuanzhe's pupils shrank.

Xia Ningmi stood up and said, "Go back to your room first!"

Du Yuanzhe nodded, knowing that Xia Ningmi had the same idea as him.

After Du Yuanzhe closed the door, Xia Ningmi walked over and opened it.

There stood a graceful and elegant woman outside the door.

Xia Ningmi opened the door and turned back to the living room.

The woman followed her in and frowned, "Why did you take so long to open the door?"

Xia Ningmi didn't reply.

The woman became increasingly dissatisfied: "Mom was talking to you and you didn't even respond. Is that what your grandpa taught you?"

The woman's identity is obvious, it is Xia's mother, Xia Yiyao!

Xia Ningmi couldn't help but feel annoyed, and said sarcastically, "You two really are worthy of being a former couple. When I met Zhou Heng before, he also said the same thing to me."

Xia Yiyao said with disgust: "Why are you mentioning that person?"

The former couple had the same attitude towards each other.

Xia Ning looked at her and said, "I'm just reminding you that I've only been with Grandpa for six or seven years. The reason I'm like this is entirely due to the influence of you and Zhou Heng."

Xia Yiyao's expression was stiff, and she immediately changed the subject by force, asking, "Why did you donate the necklace I carefully prepared for you? Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "Since you gave it to me, I will do whatever I want with it."

Xia Yiyao's face was full of sadness when she heard that, and she said, "I know you blame mom for the past, but those things are in the past. We are the closest people to each other, and we can't keep being so stiff. Mom asked Master Sid many times and finally convinced him to customize a necklace for you. Mom happily gave it to you as a birthday present, but what about you? You treat mom like this, you..."

Xia Ningmi felt even colder in her heart after hearing these words, and she angrily said, "That's enough!"

Xia Yiyao was so frightened that she stopped talking.

Xia Ningmi looked at the person she had once longed to be close to, her expression hardened, "You knew I wouldn't accept your things, but you still insisted on giving me the necklace, and even pretended to casually tell the secretary that the necklace was worth two million. Do I need to tell you your purpose?"

Xia Yiyao opened her mouth to explain: "Qiqi, I..."

"Don't call me that name!"

"Do you know the valuation of this necklace at the charity gala?"

Xia Yiyao's expression suddenly became unnatural.

"Eight hundred thousand!"

Xia Ningmi asked, "Is this your elaborate preparation? Are you using your daughter as an ATM?"

Seeing that she was exposed, Xia Yiyao simply stopped pretending and said, "Yes, I lied to you, but I had no choice. Dad gave you the entire company and only left me those shares. The dividends every year are too little. Qi... Ningmi, as long as you give Mom more money, Mom won't bother you anymore in the future."

"Should I give you more money so you can support a man?"

Xia Ningmi sarcastically said, "You really haven't changed at all. You are selfish and stupid, and you are always played around by men."

Xia Yiyao was touched in the sore spot, her face turned livid, and she sneered, "Yes, I am stupid, but no matter how stupid I am, I am still your mother. Even if you run the Xia family to be the best in Yancheng, you can't change this fact."

Now that it was out, Xia Yiyao didn't mind saying more: "I know that others say you are a gifted girl, and you always think that having parents like me and Zhou Heng is a shame for you, but Xia Ningmi, don't be ungrateful. If I hadn't given birth to you, would you have been living a life of luxury since childhood? Would you have been able to take charge of the Xia Group so easily?"

"After all, this is all because you are my daughter!"

Seeing that Xia Ningmi was speechless, Xia Yiyao felt proud and said, "I don't ask for much. Just give me a few tens of millions more every year. Now the whole Xia Group belongs to you. This little money is just a drop in the bucket for you."

After stating her purpose, Xia Yiyao remembered that she had a date next.

"You know my card number, remember to ask your secretary to transfer the money to me. I'm leaving now."

Du Yuanzhe, who was in the room, heard the sound of the door closing and immediately walked out of the room. Seeing Xia Ningmi standing there motionless, he felt inexplicably angry.

"Boss Xia, you wouldn't really believe her nonsense, would you?"

"This is complete nonsense. The Xia Group was founded by the ancestors of the Xia family and was entrusted to you by Mr. Xia himself. If you follow her lies, she is Mr. Xia's only daughter. Why didn't Mr. Xia hand over the company to her? It's because she is a useless person."

"What she said just now is completely the opposite. It's not that you should be thankful for being born into the Xia family, but that the Xia family should be thankful for having you as their heir."

"When Master Xia passed away, the entire Xia Group was in danger. It was you who turned the situation around in a short period of time. Everyone saw this. Even if she made a scene at the board meeting, no one would stand by her side."

The board of directors doesn't care about favors. What they want is benefits, and only Xia Ningmi can give them more benefits.

Xia Ning turned her head to look at him: "I understand everything you said."

Du Yuanzhe was embarrassed, so he said that it was impossible for Xia Ningmi to be disturbed by a few words.

"Well, will President Xia give her money?"

【It is best not to give any points】

"Can!"

Du Yuanzhe suddenly looked up at her and asked in confusion: "Why?"

[Xia Yiyao just said something so excessive]

Xia Ningmi: "I promised grandpa that I would ensure she would be rich throughout her life."

So, even though she knew the price of the necklace was wrong, she still had someone give the money to Xia Yiyao.

Du Yuanzhe looked ridiculous: "What is this!"

[Old man Xia is really scheming. He threw the burden of the company to Xia Ningmi. He can not only keep the company, but also ensure that his daughter has enough food and drink, and also make Xia Ningmi remember his kindness. Ugh, old fox]

Xia Ningmi looked indifferent.

How could she not know what even Du Yuanzhe could think of? Old Master Xia had fostered her. Although he wanted her to take over the company, without Old Master Xia there would be no Xia Ningmi today. She was willing to abide by Old Master Xia's will.

She didn't care how much money she gave Xia Yiyao, she was just worried that her emotions would still be affected by Xia Yiyao.

After hearing what Xia Yiyao said just now, Xia Ning felt that she was not unable to refute it, but she was afraid that she would reveal her true emotions if she spoke.

"Playing games?"

Xia Ningmi asked suddenly.

Du Yuanzhe thought about what happened last night and felt a little reluctant. He said tactfully, "Boss Xia, being addicted to games is harmful to your health."

Xia Ning frowned: "Fight or not?"

"......beat."

It's definitely not that he admits it!

He just thinks that since the house is already air-conditioned, there is no need for air conditioning.

The two sat in front of the big screen again.

Xia Ningmi said in advance: "Don't let the water go!"

Du Yuanzhe held the handle with both hands and said, "I just don't know how to write the word 'release water'."

[If I follow her lead, wouldn't that mean I let her down last night? Luckily I was smart.]

Xia Ning glanced at him.

When the game started, Du Yuanzhe did not let up and started to slaughter Xia Ningmi again.

After all, Du Yuanzhe has many years of gaming experience, and his operating skills are not comparable to Xia Ningmi, a game novice.

For several hours, Xia Ningmi didn't win a single game.

Another game ended, and Du Yuanzhe was so exhausted from bullying the weak opponent that he no longer felt anything.

Xia Ningmi said meaningfully: "It seems that you really let it go last night."

Du Yuanzhe's face froze.

[Damn, I was still careless]

Du Yuanzhe pretended not to hear and said, "Boss Xia, do you want to play another game?"

Xia Ning asked: "What game?"

Du Yuanzhe pretended to be mysterious: "A game where you can eat chicken."

A few minutes later

Du Yuanzhe's anxious voice echoed in the room: "Don't just stand there, it's easy for someone to snipe you."

"Don't always pick up bullets, pick up more props. Props can save your life at critical moments."

"......"

Even though Du Yuanzhe reminded her again and again, Xia Ningmi was still knocked down, and then when Du Yuanzhe tried to save her, he was also killed.

Xia Ning frowned and analyzed afterwards: "You shouldn't have saved me."

Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "How can I watch President Xia being beaten to death?"

[I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought you along.]

Xia Ningmi looked at his inconsistency and reminded him, "You seem to have forgotten that you have beaten me to death many times with your own hands."

Du Yuanzhe looked a little unnatural: "That's all in the past."

"In fact, the last time you killed me was just a few minutes ago."

[It doesn't have to be so real, right? ]

Du Yuanzhe smiled awkwardly: "Boss Xia, do you still want to play?"

"Play!"

She had always been beaten to death by Du Yuanzhe before, but in this game she could at least experience the joy of killing others.

However, Xia Ningmi was a novice after all, and she had been playing "The King of Fighters" before, so she had to familiarize herself with the buttons on the controller again, which led to her making a lot of mistakes, either picking up the wrong things or losing the wrong things.

That would have been fine, but Xia Ningmi was unexpectedly aggressive. She was not as calm as she was in real life, but rather reckless. She was always looking for someone to fight with, but she couldn't beat them, so Xia Ningmi was always killed early, and she turned a good duo row into a solo row.

One hour later

Du Yuanzhe put down the controller, leaned back on the sofa tiredly, and said, "I don't want to play anymore."

He is exhausted!

[I thought this would be easier, but it feels even more tiring]

Xia Ning was still thinking about the last round of the fight and asked, "Why didn't the spray kill him with one shot?"

Ever since she realized the powerful attacking power of the spray, the spray has become Xia Ningmi's favorite gun. She must pick it up in every game. Several people she met before were killed by one spray.

Du Yuanzhe explained weakly: "There are many reasons. The man might be a level 3 armor, or you just sprayed his arm or foot. Of course, it could be that this crappy game has gone wrong. This possibility is very high."

Du Yuanzhe had often encountered situations where the spray could not kill people before. This crappy game was the most torturous.

Xia Ningmi simply ignored the first two items and frowned, "There's something wrong with the game? The game company won't handle it?"

“They don’t care.”

“Which company developed this game?”

Du Yuanzhe turned his head and looked at her: "Boss Xia, are you planning to buy us out?"

Xia Ningmi nodded: "I have considered this."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes widened: "Just because you didn't kill anyone with your spray?"

Xia Ningmi said nothing.

Du Yuanzhe couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you, President Xia, for letting me see with my own eyes how the domineering president buys out the boss at the slightest disagreement. For the sake of me playing games with you, can you help me open a few cheats in private after President Xia buys out the boss?"

"What's the problem?"

"For example, there are some cheats about destiny circle and doubling of supplies."

Du Yuanzhe was fed up with being targeted by the poison circle. The most outrageous thing was that in one round he was running in circles the whole time without encountering anyone. As time went by, only two people were left. He was killed as soon as he entered the circle, and he didn't even see where his opponent was.

He once wanted to uninstall the game!

Xia Ning asked him: "With these cheats, can you help me get first place?"

Du Yuanzhe asked cautiously, "Can President Xia resist the urge to find someone to fight with him?"

Xia Ning looked at him quietly, the meaning was obvious.

Du Yuanzhe said righteously, "When playing games, you have to compete fairly. Cheating is not acceptable."

[No matter how powerful I am, I can't stop you from seeking death by yourself]

Xia Ningmi frowned: "This is a fighting game, what's the fun in you hiding all the time?"

Du Yuanzhe explained: "This is called a tactic. Just rushing in is reckless behavior and is not advisable."

Xia Ningmi narrowed her eyes: "You mean I'm a reckless man?"

"...I'm just giving an example."

[You have some self-awareness]

Hearing his insincere words, Xia Ning laughed angrily: "You are obviously not afraid of me, why bother..."

Du Yuanzhe looked at her blankly.

[It turns out she has dimples]

[Such a cold person actually smiles so sweetly, like a completely different person]

Xia Ningmi's words got stuck in her throat, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her eyes, and then her face became expressionless again.

Du Yuanzhe came back to his senses: "What did President Xia say?"

Xia Ningmi stood up and said, "I still have work to do."

Seeing Xia Ningmi leave, Du Yuanzhe finally no longer had to worry about taking care of the rookie.

Du Yuanzhe had never played the PUBG game since he came to this world. Without Xia Ningmi holding him back, he simply started a solo game.

Thirty minutes later

Du Yuanzhe was finally happy when he saw the words "Good luck, eat chicken tonight" on the screen.
