Flowery Words

Most of the time, when faced with the problem Lin Qi was in, people would show gentlemanly manners and would subtly tell the girl why the maid was lingering there.

But Lin Qi was no ordinary person, and his answer was very direct, "Your father was afraid that I would do something too outrageous to you, so he arranged for someone to keep an eye on me."

The girl quickly understood what Lin Qi meant by "excessive things," and she complained through gritted teeth, "Why did he do that? It puts me in a very passive position, and I feel so ashamed, Lin Qi!"

Sai Weiruila was already in her twenties, a true adult, but she was still controlled by her father, who even had someone watch her when she was talking to Lin Qi.

This made her feel offended, even though the offense was always there.

Mary Joe couldn't stay silent any longer, and as she was about to explain, Lin Qi spoke first, "Because he loves you, everyone loves you."

"He doesn't want you to get hurt, so this..."

The girl looked at Lin Qi and helped him continue, "... Mary Joe."

He nodded and continued, "That's why Ms. Mary Joe is in the room. Nobody wants you to get hurt. Nobody is offending you. If you make things difficult for Ms. Mary Joe because of this, or go and question Wo Delike, then the person who has truly offended you is yourself."

"We shouldn't treat other people's kindness with malice. Maybe the way they use it makes us feel a little... not so easy to accept."

In fact, Sai Weiruila is not a girl with intellectual disabilities; she is smarter and better in every way than most girls.

This is actually a situation that has never occurred in a strictly controlled family environment, just like how even the most shrewd and capable woman will feel helpless during her first childbirth.

This has nothing to do with their intelligence, personal abilities, or psychological qualities. Just because they are better than other women doesn't mean they can demonstrate the same excellent qualities in childbirth, especially since it's their first time.

The girl's father had never been so nervous or so actively interfering in her life before, probably because Wo Delike believed that the people the girl usually associated with did not pose much of a threat.

But Lin Qi was different. He was threatening, as could be felt from the way Sai Weiruila looked at him. Perhaps the girl didn't know what love was or how to describe the feeling, but she admired the boy.

One wrong step and he could slip into the abyss, so he had to stop him, just in case Ten Thousandth went wrong.

A ruler would never marry a promiscuous woman. The man who could be the husband of Sai Weiruila must have a similar family background to hers, or even a higher one. This was a way to demonstrate the status and dignity of men in families of this rank.

Would such a man marry a wife with extensive experience who could easily produce many "bad brothers" after marriage? Obviously not. Therefore, Sai Weiruila's chastity is extremely important, and Wo Delike does not want her to have a low-class marriage.

Hearing Lin Qi's words, the girl's initial anger subsided quickly. She looked at Lin Qi with a strange expression, "I have to admit, what you said makes some sense, but..."

Her fingers were nervously interlaced, and her cheeks were flushed. "I'm so embarrassed!"

Lin Qi placed his hand over the girl's hand, a gesture that made Mary Joe's eyelids twitch. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to pretend she hadn't seen it.

She was there to prevent them from having any further contact, not this kind of inappropriate touching.

"I can understand. I understand your embarrassment, and I understand your father's thoughts. After all, you are a beautiful girl. Actually, I should be the one who is embarrassed." Lin Qi's smile was bright. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ground at their feet, red and romantic, creating a very special atmosphere.

Even though the girl was right next to him, she could still see his face very clearly—a clean, handsome face filled with a smile that shone brighter than the sun.

Her emotions had completely calmed down, and there was even a hint of surprise that came from nowhere, "Are you embarrassed because you were seen through?"

Feeling a bit excited and her heart was racing, Mary Joe, standing to the side, rolled her eyes. She suddenly felt that the master should allow the young lady to have contact with some men within a controllable range.

It's obvious that this bastard named Lin Qi is not an easy guy to deal with. Every word he says seems ordinary, but when put together, they always make you think of something, some of them so sweet they make your teeth ache!

A masterful, damned, smooth-talking con artist, Mary Joe lowered her head again.

Lin Qi smiled without saying a word. Sometimes it's better to leave some suspense than to answer the question directly. After a slight pause, he took the initiative to talk about the topics they had discussed earlier—the arduous process of an ordinary girl on her entrepreneurial journey.

Some people might enjoy reading stories like, "I worked hard for a month to buy the latest super luxury car."

After it got completely dark, Lin Qi figured it was about time to get up and say goodbye. He suspected that if he didn't leave soon, Wo Delike would burst in and question him about whether he wanted to stay the night.

To avoid Wo Delike's blood pressure rising and preventing him from getting a good night's sleep, Lin Qi took his leave.

It was clear that the girl was a little reluctant to part. This was her first time chatting with Lin Qi about things she liked. In previous meetings, Lin Qi had always wanted her as a pretty face, and there hadn't been much genuine interaction between them.

"When can we meet again?" The girl stood at the door of the room, looking at Lin Qi with a mixture of reluctance and anticipation.

"Soon!"

After Lin Qi left Mary Joe told Wo Delike everything that had happened in the room. The usually composed man's forehead veins bulged after hearing it.

In fact, this is a very complex emotion. On one hand, it is his love for his daughter. He is well aware of the different life paths that a chaste Sai Weiruila and a Sai Weiruila who has lost her chastity will face in the future.

On the other hand, after all, he had watched the girl grow up from a little girl to what she is now, and no matter what, there was some selfishness at play. He didn't want his daughter to be taken away by someone else, even though he knew that in the end Sai Weiruila would still belong to someone else.

An unexpected person appeared here, which gave him a bit of a headache.

"Keep an eye on the young lady for now, things will get better soon..."

After a while, Lin Qi wouldn't have time to bother with this anymore! When he left Wo Delike's house, the butler handed him a letter of recommendation and asked him to read it first before sealing it with clay and stamping it.

This is a letter of recommendation for Lin Qi's admission to the university. It also explains Lin Qi's special circumstances, as he may not have enough time to spend all day at the university.

This is a relatively traditional and currently the most mainstream method of promotion for members of the Saint and Harmony Society.

In fact, Wo Delike could have directly recommended him to join the Saint and Harmony Society's candidate list. After the Saint and Harmony Society 'Saint and Harmony Society annual assessment, Lin Qi would most likely have become a member.

However, compared to this somewhat unorthodox way of joining, the best way is to study at the academy, graduate, and eventually join the Saint and Harmony Society.

During this process, Lin Qi will come into contact with more potential members of the Saint and Harmony Society, befriend them, and expand his network of contacts both inside Saint and Harmony Society.

Moreover, this traditional route to entering the Saint and Harmony Society means facing far fewer difficulties during the assessment process; this is the power of orthodoxy.

When he joined the Saint and Harmony Society, in addition to his connections with Wo Delike, he also had his own network of contacts, so he would not encounter any difficulties in whatever he wanted to do in the future.

It's currently summer vacation, and he needs to get this letter of recommendation to the Board of Directors of any of the colleges in the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Academy before school starts; otherwise, he'll have to wait until next year.

Of course, this is not what Wo Delike meant by "it will be fine in a while," because the real "a while" refers to the large-scale development in Nagaril later on, where Lin Qi also received his share of the benefits and went to Nagaril.

With Mr. Truman keeping an eye on things for him, his interests will never be taken away by anyone else, and they are what he deserves.

This is actually the contradiction of capital. On the one hand, capital will stop at nothing to achieve its interests. As long as it can help them achieve their profit goals, they will dare to do anything illegal.

On the other hand, when it comes to dividing the cake, they appear very gentle and refined, never fighting over it and maintaining their composure.

Once Lin Qi left the Federal for Nagaril, well, he wouldn't have time to talk about any nonsense literature with Sai Weiruila in a short time! The next day, Lin Qi arrived at the "Saint Secheka" Academy located on the outskirts of Bu Peien. The name of this school was pronounced in a rather special way. Simply put, it was an ancient language, a transliteration of a minor language that existed before the Common Language became prevalent.

It means "supreme wisdom" or "supreme truth," and how to translate it is purely a matter for the translator to worry about.

This Saint Secheka College is also the only Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Colleges near the central part of the Federal; the other schools are located in very remote areas.

Although it was summer vacation, the school's operations did not stop. Not to mention that ordinary universities would have a lot of work at this time, the work of the Saint and Harmony Society Alliance Colleges was even more.

For example, they might invite successful alumni to give speeches during freshman registration; some alumni might wave checks hoping to have their names inducted into the school's Hall of Fame; or... well-connected individuals like Lin Qi might come to negotiate for admission.
