"Hahaha!" x2
Seeing the two of them grinning, Eri immediately realized that she had been tricked and that neither of them were good people.
Eri's expression changed, and she glared fiercely at the two of them, not even sparing Lin Qi. However, since the game was only beside her, she immediately found a target and made her move.
"You, Yukiko, I've been running around doing all this for you, getting everything sorted out, and you still come back to mess with me."
Eri Kisaki immediately took action, and Yukiko, because she was being tickled, burst into laughter. For a moment, the scene of the two playfully fighting was somewhat erotic.
Lin Qi also did some tricks at this time to make the others not notice this place, otherwise if the two of them were exposed, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss? After all, this one was already the one he couldn't escape, and the other was also his target, and would be his after that.
So it's better to take precautions.
After the two of them finished arguing, she straightened her clothes and then looked at her best friend and spoke.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Yukiko then sat down next to Lin Qi and immediately began to speak without any hesitation.
"Lynch, my new backer."
"She's the person I'll be following in the future."
Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki's face showed disbelief. She had previously thought that her best friend had ruined the other person's relationship, but in reality, it was more or less the same, only the other person had taken her best friend under their wing.
Ah...
At this moment, Eri Kisaki felt her brain was a little overwhelmed and she was also a bit confused. You're not going to put on any effort at all. At least you could put on an act in front of people you know.
Eri Kisaki had very mixed feelings, after all, she really didn't know what to say to her best friend.
Yukiko noticed the other person's complicated expression and knew what they were thinking. She then sat down with a smile and began whispering to them.
As time went on, the other party finally asked a question.
"Are you sure? You know, there's a big age gap between you and him. Even if you do get together, he'll probably dump you soon. Not to mention you're divorced now. If you get dumped, you'll have nothing left."
Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately smiled and spoke up.
“I’ve done it once before. At the peak of my career, I chose to retire and become a housewife. What did I get in return? But this time it’s different. You helped with the procedures for the firm, not to mention that there are now trillions more in the account.”
"So even if I get dumped, I won't lose out; in fact, I'll make a huge profit."
"After all, they wouldn't even get 1% of my price if they sold me."
Upon hearing this, Eri nearly dropped her wine glass, her hand trembling as she did so. Her eyes widened at the mention of the number.
Eri Kisaki wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of numerical issue; she had only encountered other people's cases, not her own. Now, listening to this person, it seemed that this person not only bought the agency for her but also transferred trillions of yen within it. Was this for real?
"Are you sure you're not drunk and didn't give the wrong company name or anything?"
Eri Kisaki, still unwilling to give up, asked again, just in case the other person was drunk and talking nonsense.
"You're overthinking it. How could that be? That's just how it is. So, do you think I'm valuable?"
Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki began to look her best friend up and down, then shook her head after thinking for a moment.
"I'm sorry, but to be honest, I don't see what makes you so valuable."
Eri Kisaki couldn't understand why this guy, who was about the same age as her, was worth the trillions of yen that this handsome man had spent.
The other person couldn't possibly be this woman's fan, since the ages don't match. She probably knew that her best friend had left the entertainment industry before the other person was even born.
Upon hearing this, Yukiko immediately smiled and spoke.
"It depends on the person. At least I'm worth that much in their eyes, unlike Kudo Yu, who was such a bastard. Not only did he get tired of me and throw me aside like trash, but if there were any illegitimate children or assets he transferred, I would have been ruined and lost everything if it weren't for Qi Jun's appearance."
Fei Yingli:! ! !
Eri Kisaki was completely dumbfounded when she heard this.
What is all this about? How come I've never heard of anything like this before?
"No, if I remember correctly, I helped you with your divorce, right? Or did I travel to a parallel world? I've never heard you mention these things before?"
Eri Kisaki was truly dumbfounded this time. She had never heard of these things before. Where did they come from?
Yukiko then realized that the other person hadn't heard of it, so she picked up a glass of wine, downed it in one gulp with great gusto, and began to explain it to him.
Fei Yingli:! ! !
Eri was stunned after hearing the story. She never expected there to be so many stories behind it. She couldn't help but sigh, "Men really can't be trusted."
Eri Kisaki used to envy her best friend for being a model couple and having such a good husband, but now it seems she's even worse than Kogoro Mouri.
Of course, it's also possible that the other party is too useless and has no assets to transfer, which is why things are like this.
However, I couldn't resist indulging in a whole wave of gossip.
"I have to say, I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky."
"What's the point of being lucky or unlucky? Things are fine now, and I won't make the same mistake again. Even if I get dumped, I won't lose anything."
Yukiko, at this moment, seemed to have seen through the vanities of the world and became quite smug.
Seeing the other person's expression, Eri Kisaki was speechless for a moment. After all, as an outsider, she really couldn't say anything in this situation.
"Then why did you bring your big spender along when you invited me out for drinks?"
"It's impossible that they need something from me, right?"
Chapter 296 How despicable! They actually used my daughter to kidnap me!
"Eri, you were right. They do have something to ask you, or rather, it's great news for you."
Upon hearing this, Eri twitched slightly. To be honest, under normal circumstances, she would be willing to believe it was a great thing, but her best friend was acting a bit strange right now, so when the other person said something like "great thing," it seemed a little unreliable.
"Tell me about it first."
"I'd like to hire you as my legal consultant. After all, my business is definitely going to expand."
"Before, because it wasn't very big, it wasn't very formal, but with so much capital, it can definitely be expanded many times over."
"So I need to find a reliable person, and in my eyes you are the most reliable one."
Eri Kisaki was stunned when she heard this; it turned out they wanted her to switch jobs.
"Yukiko, I'm glad you trust me so much, but the problem is I don't have any plans to go into this line of work yet."
Eri Kisaki was immediately at a loss for words, realizing that he wanted to recruit her into his group.
"Eri, although you are known as the Invincible Queen and have your own agency, do you know that your normal income is around 100 million yen per year?"
"Of course, someone like you who is a lawyer might have that kind of savings, but after deducting all sorts of expenses, rent, and other things, how much money can you save in a year?"
After hearing this, Eri Kisaki fell silent; family members know their own affairs.
"Although my income is neither the best nor the worst, it would be quite difficult to go further, since it's impossible to have that many lawsuits, and it's impossible for many lawsuits to have high fees."
Not to mention that there are many times when I have to pay for everything myself when I go to certain places.
Moreover, the key point is that it's a place I rented myself, in a good location, and the rent is quite high.
"So what are you trying to say?"
"You're not trying to bribe me, are you?"
Yukiko did not deny it after hearing this; instead, she nodded generously.
"That's right!"
"That's my idea, so name your price."
At this moment, Yukiko, having found a powerful backer and a wealthy patron, instantly transformed into a nouveau riche, as if she were throwing a check in front of someone and asking them to fill in the numbers.
Seeing her best friend's overbearing demeanor, Eri's eyebrows twitched. The other woman's attitude made her want to laugh, and she couldn't resist cracking a joke herself, opening her mouth with a grin.
"Alright, if you want me to be your personal lawyer, my price is very high, but my requirements aren't high either, just 100 billion a year will do."
Eri always felt that her best friend was unreliable. Now that the other party was like this, she could deliberately raise the price a little, since he himself didn't have any plans to do so for the time being.
If I had wanted to switch careers and specialize in this earlier, someone would have been willing to pay me a much higher salary, which would definitely be much better than my current income.
However, I still didn't choose to do it, because there were too many things to consider.
Most importantly, there were many restrictions and rules that prevented the same level of freedom as they are now.
However, what he never expected was that his best friend immediately agreed to the price after hearing it.
“Sure, that’s a small problem. I can even prepay you 20 years’ salary.”
Eri Kisaki was completely dumbfounded when she heard this. What was all this about?
Isn't this a bit too extravagant? Having been a daughter-in-law of the Mori family before, I know that even a family like that wouldn't be this domineering and extravagant.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if his best friend had misheard him.
"Yukiko, you must be joking."
Upon hearing this, Yukiko's eyes widened without a second thought, and she spoke in an incredulous tone.
"You don't think I'm joking, do you? I'm not joking. Since you've asked, I'll definitely agree. If you don't believe me, I can have someone transfer the money to your account right now."
When Eri saw the other party's posture, she was completely dumbfounded. Was that what she was thinking? Are you serious?
Eri initially thought her best friend was joking, but judging from the current situation, it seemed like she was serious.
"You think I'm joking? I'm telling you, I'm telling the truth."
"Don't refuse yet, think about it. You'll be living with Xiaolan now."
"You're only living in a small apartment right now, don't you want to move to a bigger place?"
"Not to mention the cost of his college education, or the part-time jobs he'll have to take care of you and Kogoro. Where would that alcoholic have all that energy?"
"If you have the money, you might as well hire a nanny for the other party, so that your daughter won't have to run around every day and have so many worries."
"After all, with the other party in this state, Xiaolan must have had a lot of headaches, with finances and other issues."
“Now that you’ve accepted this job, she can finally relax a bit and not spend most of her time at home.”
"She's clearly a high school student, but the way she's acting makes me feel like she's about to become a housewife."
To be honest, Yukiko had a lot to say about the other person's situation. Despite being a high school student, he was taking care of this and that every day, and only had some time to himself after school. The rest of the time he was basically working like crazy, not to mention having a drunken father who was a burden.
Eri Kisaki fell silent after hearing this, and had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.
"Furthermore, you need to understand that if you're worried about the business going out of business and having to switch careers again, which would damage your reputation, you don't need to worry about any of these factors. As I said, we can pay you 20 years' worth of salary upfront."
