19 This is getting ridiculous

Ye Qingyu was having the worst day of her life.

As rude as Lu Fan was, she had gotten used to such treatment after staying outside for some time.

A beautiful woman like her would experience such things once in a while. She was also very capable, what kind of war had she not fought in the business world?

But Lu Fan was an enigma to her. She was so used to people doing things for benefit or greed that when Lu Fan acted differently, she was caught off guard.

That was not the worst part.

While she did feel uncomfortable being led by the nose, it did not matter as much as the product he showed her.

She lost the initiative and he took advantage of her and got a very unreasonable deal. But that did not get as much of a reaction from him as she had expected.

All he said was that someone was looking for her.

Then her day went to shit after knowing what happened. This damn man had acquired 60% of Bailu. The most frustrating thing was that she was not even aware of it.

This was the problem of being in those big families.

She was the one who started the company with her sister, but the ownership was by the family. They controlled everything from the day they were born.

They did not even know how it happened without them knowing. She should at least have heard rumors. And the way her grandparents doted on her, she should at least have been given an opportunity to give an opinion.

But it was already done and everything had been finalized.

If Lu Fan had less than 50% shares, she would have found a way around him, but the dude owned 60%.

Meaning that for all the profits, he'd have the majority of the returns. Add that to the outrageous deal she'd proposed; what was the difference with working for him directly?

One had to know that the 40% that remained were shared between the two sisters.

But that was not enough to run the whole company without the support of the family. Now that Lu Fan had taken over, were they supposed to approach him for help?

Just remembering his smug expression made her depressed.

It was better to think of a way to distribute the new product in a way that would maximize their sales.

…

Lu Fan did not know the agony he'd caused for Ye Qingyu.

He was currently looking at the list of companies Aria had managed to purchase and they were not that great.

He thought of using a shares card but gave up on the idea. It'd be dumb and it was not like he needed some elite company to host his email service.

The parent server was in his hand anyway, he did not need them for much but as mirror servers to block tracking and handle any attacks.

[You have spent 782,563,657 yuan. 1000x critical hit. Earned 782,563,657,000 yuan. The money has been transferred to account XXX XXX.]

[You have received 7825 lottery tickets.]

"…"

'Bell, this is getting ridiculous.'

[*Sigh* just level up fast. With your luck, I am starting to worry about my future.]

'What the hell am I supposed to do with all this money? Won't it cripple the economy if it just stays in my account?'

[Don't think about this useless stuff. Who told you that your money was ever in the bank?]

"Aria, next time round up the number. I am not afraid of spending more money."

"Yes, Lu Fan."

Lu Fan looked at her and did not know how to handle her anymore.

She called him Mr. Lu in front of others and used his name in private. Was this some sort of message?

And why did he feel like she did not take his words to heart?

[She thinks that she's helping you save up.]

'Save up my ass. Last time I lost 2 tickets, how many will I lose this time? Maybe I should have a team of lawyers to handle this kind of thing.'

*Ding Dong*

Lu Fan was lost in thought when he heard his bell ring.

He got up expecting to see the guests he was expecting, but when he opened his door, he saw Alice standing there in a maid outfit.

"…"

"What are you wearing?"

"A maid outfit?"

She tilted her head cutely, breaking the whole image Lu Fan had built for her.

The capable air around her was completely gone and she looked like a naïve girl from next door.

Lu Fan was having strange urges to corrupt her.

Feeling a rather uncomfortable gaze from behind, he let her enter the house.

"What are you doing here with your maid outfit?"

A blush formed on her beautiful face.

He no longer tried to understand this girl. She was not embarrassed when he asked about the outfit but now she was getting embarrassed?

"I have come to clean the place."

"…"

Lu Fan looked deeply at Alice and decided not to overthink it.

He knew that she did not know that Aria was staying with him. Was she wearing those clothes on purpose?

The maid uniform was clearly not meant for chores. It was so short that he was sure that he'd see her panties if she bent over.

If she did wear these clothes intentionally, then he'd have kicked her out by now. But he could see that Alice did indeed come over to clean. It was just that it was most likely her first time doing it for someone else and thought that the outfit was good.

He no longer cared about it. Aria was right beside them and he could not pull anything even if he wanted to.

"Next time, wait for me to call you over, okay?"

Hearing his gentle tone, Alice nodded subconsciously.

"Aria, this is Alice the property manager, and my maid, Alice, this is my personal assistant Aria, If you ever need anything, you can talk to her."

Alice and Aria were left speechless.

Aria knew who Alice was and did not think that she was anything much. But hearing the way Lu Fan talked to her, she could not help but feel jealous. She had been trying to get a response from him for a long time now. Maybe it was time to try a maid cosplay?

Alice's cheeks turned a shade redder. It was the first time someone was calling her a maid. And it somehow felt good. She wanted to hear it again but was too embarrassed to ask for it.

'I should come more often. I'll bring my sister next time.'
