You Can Be Pika-Pig from Now On

A little over ten minutes later, Bai Xiyue arrived at the Pokémon Home in her supercar.

Qin Feng opened the door and got in.

It was his first time riding in Bai Xiyue's car.

It was also his first time riding in a top-tier supercar like this.

The moment he got in, the sheer extravagance blew him away.

"No wonder they say supercars are every man's dream. Now I get it."

Qin Feng sighed in admiration.

Bai Xiyue rolled her eyes. "Boss Qin, there's really no need to be so modest! You have dozens of stores across the country and several overseas. Your daily revenue is almost catching up to our RM Group's."

"Are you pretending to be poor because you're afraid I'll make you treat me to a fancy dinner?"

A major company like the RM Group would naturally investigate anyone it was about to partner with.

That was also why things had dragged on for the past few days.

After all, they needed to negotiate a price.

How could they do that without knowing who they were dealing with?

So, in Bai Xiyue's eyes, Qin Feng was loaded, yet insisted on acting like a pauper.

He might as well have stamped "cheapskate" across his forehead.

Qin Feng turned toward the beautiful, mature Bai Xiyue and gave her a look that said she didn't understand.

"It's just a meal, isn't it? Once we settle things today, you can pick anywhere you like."

Qin Feng sounded positively extravagant.

"With a budget of fifty?"

At Bai Xiyue's jab, Qin Feng thought, This woman really holds a grudge!

Bai Xiyue had put on light makeup today, a rare sight. As Qin Feng took in her stunning face and fair neck-

His gaze involuntarily drifted a little lower.

He didn't see anything, though.

Bai Xiyue was wearing a sharp business outfit today.

It wasn't a skirt suit, but her figure was so good that no matter how Qin Feng looked at her, it felt like some kind of uniform seduc-

"Enjoying the view?"

"Should I take my jacket off? You'd get a better look."

The air suddenly went still!

Qin Feng's face turned red in a flash.

He had been staring at her chest and gotten caught red-handed.

This was awkward as hell.

Qin Feng hastily looked out the window, scratching his head as he stammered:

"I... I wasn't looking. I'm still a student. What would I know about that stuff?"

"I just thought your outfit looked nice. It must be pretty expensive, right?"

But then!

His backstabbing teammate came online.

Pikachu jumped into Bai Xiyue's lap.

It stretched out a little paw and pointed at her ample curves.

Then it looked at Qin Feng.

"Pika~ Pika!"

♡(๑◕ܫ￩๑)ﾉ✰.

Critical hit from teammate +999

Qin Feng instantly turned to stone!

Bai Xiyue burst out laughing.

Clearly, she hadn't taken offense at Qin Feng's behavior.

Qin Feng grabbed Egg Yolk.

He rubbed its cheeks hard.

I could strangle you!

Since you're so good at undermining me, you can be Pika-Pig from now on!

The trip from Jiangning to Magic City took three hours.

The two chatted about plenty of things along the way, but neither mentioned their business plans.

After all, Bai Xiyue clearly wasn't the decision-maker at the RM Group.

Any questions she asked now would inevitably seem like an attempt to probe his position.

She didn't want to do that, because she considered Qin Feng a friend.

The partnership between the RM Group and Pokémon was a natural next step that would benefit both sides.

Friendship was friendship, and business was business.

Naturally, Qin Feng wasn't foolish enough to reveal his bottom line himself, either.

Three hours later.

The parking lot of the RM Group building in Magic City.

It was lunchtime, and plenty of employees were coming and going.

At the sight of a supercar like that, everyone couldn't help stopping to admire it.

The company's employees were all familiar with Bai Xiyue's car.

But seeing a man step out of the passenger seat came as a surprise.

"I've never seen a man ride in President Bai's passenger seat before. Who is he? A relative?"

"He's pretty handsome, but his clothes are too plain. Probably not a relative!"

"Could he be her boyfriend? I haven't heard anything about President Bai having one."

"There are plenty of rich heirs and handsome guys chasing her in Magic City. I'm sure he isn't."

"Look, there's a Pokémon on his shoulder. I think I've seen him before. Yes, yes, I remember now! He's the guy from that very first video."

Someone recognized Qin Feng, but they hadn't expected the RM Group's aloof President Bai to invite him to company headquarters.

It was Qin Feng's first time visiting such an upscale workplace, and he felt a little out of place.

Bai Xiyue smiled. "Well? Is the RM Group worthy of your Pokémon Home, Boss Qin?"

Qin Feng looked up at the office building, dozens of stories tall and situated right in Magic City's central business district.

"Come on, Boss Bai. What does size have to do with anything? I'm here because of you. If it were someone else, I might not even have agreed!"

Bai Xiyue looked surprised at his words.

She hadn't expected Qin Feng to have decent social skills, or to know to flatter her at a moment like this.

Bai Xiyue raised a hand in an inviting gesture. "In that case, after you, Boss Qin!"

Just then, a man in an immaculate suit, with slicked-back hair and a carefully groomed face, walked out of the office building.

"Xiyue, where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you at the office."

Bai Xiyue frowned.

Her expression was exactly like Jiang Xiaoyu's whenever she saw Ye Chen.

Qin Feng immediately understood what was going on.

"Don't call me Xiyue. We're not that close."

The man took her words with impeccable manners, then turned to Qin Feng beside her and asked:

"And this is?"

Bai Xiyue had no intention of answering, but Qin Feng extended his right hand with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Qin Feng."

The suited man extended his hand like a perfect gentleman, too.

"Yao Jianpan!"

Although Bai Xiyue was impatient with him, Qin Feng was here to discuss business.

He had no intention of going out of his way to stir up trouble.

After all, unlike Jiang Xiaoyu, Bai Xiyue was perfectly capable of protecting herself.

She also had her own way of dealing with spoiled rich boys like this.

Bai Xiyue was sharp enough to see through Qin Feng's little scheme at a glance.

Heh. Trying that trick on me?

But before Yao Jianpan could speak-

Bai Xiyue's lips curved slightly, and she turned toward him.

"Were you about to ask who he is and what he's doing here?"

"Then announce that you're the vice president?"

"Show off in front of everyone?"

Both Yao Jianpan and Qin Feng froze at her words.

This was getting a little ridiculous!

Not following the script at all, huh? Qin Feng grumbled silently.

Yao Jianpan gave an awkward smile. "Xiyue, of course your friends are welcome at the company. Your friends are my friends."

Suddenly!

Bai Xiyue hooked her arm through Qin Feng's.

Qin Feng's eyes instantly went wide!

...(⊙＿⊙;)... Huh?

A sense of foreboding washed over him.

Oh, crap!

This woman's about to stir things up!

Yao Jianpan's expression changed abruptly.

He hadn't considered Qin Feng a threat at first.

After all, nothing about Qin Feng's clothes or appearance suggested he could pose one.

To put it bluntly, even if Bai Xiyue liked him, her family would never let them be together.

But!

He had never imagined Bai Xiyue would actually link arms with him in full view of everyone.
