Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

"With her doing that, even Ahoge and Rin will probably feel some pressure."

"Look at the fierce look in their eyes as they keep looking down; the pressure might be greater than you imagine."

"Wow, boss, you didn't hire another one just for this purpose, did you?"

Hong Meiling couldn't help but complain, and her gaze towards the other person became somewhat subtle.

"They approached me first, I just went along with it."

"The competition within Daimao's family is fierce, and several of their relatives are still kept in the dark."

"Eh~ Is this some kind of trial for the succession to the throne?"

Hearing Hong Meiling's mutterings, Jiang Qiu couldn't help but smile, but her eyes showed a hint of interest.

I should probably get a few sets of gear for Shihua to wear later; they'll definitely boost her attack speed to an incredible level!

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone and placed an order, buying almost every style imaginable. His swift typing left Hong Meiling speechless.

So the young boss actually likes maids?

If I drag Sakuya over for a stroll later, will I get a raise?

Although Sakuya is a bit pitiful in some ways, you can stuff dozens of layers of padding around her!

By then, wouldn't the perfectly elegant head maid have the young boss completely under her thumb?

Once evil thoughts take root, they become difficult to control.

Just as she was eagerly trying to contact Sakuya, she was completely unaware that a death star was flashing wildly above her head.

Chapter 121, Section 122: The expressions of the two jealous people were almost distorted.

"Hmm hmm hmm da la la"

A pleasant humming sound drifted gently through the courtyard of the apartment building.

The hazy glow of the setting sun fell upon her slender, cool figure, gilding her already fair and delicate skin with a soft golden radiance.

As she swayed slightly with her work, the neat and pretty maid's skirt fluttered gently in the wind, attracting attention from all directions.

The two people on the second floor, in particular, almost broke the brooms in their hands.

Under the death stares of Artoria and Rin Tohsaka, Saber Alter seemed to be deliberately lurking right under their noses.

Every move she made exuded an elegance and deliberation that was completely different from usual, as if she was fully demonstrating the advantages of her equipment.

The delicate lace embellishments, the excessively short skirt, and the flawless white back

What kind of behavior is this?!

Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke; all the sliver of hope she had had from sneaking away without Altria's knowledge had vanished.

What followed was an indescribable and terrifying pressure.

If she hadn't asked Hong Meiling beforehand how much of a raise she could get for wearing a maid outfit, it would have been fine, but she had already asked!

With this black outfit, my salary could triple!

Three times! A full three times!!!

As the sourness of a lemon filled Rin Tohsaka's heart, a forbidden thought also quietly began to grow in her mind.

How about we change the style we ordered online?

No, no, no, what I have now is enough for me to live on. Plus, with room and board included, I can save a lot.

But this seems a bit far from his grand ambition of saving his family business?

For a moment, Rin Tohsaka was caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

The black-faced girl downstairs naturally noticed the envious gazes of the two jealous people upstairs, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

The two timid and weak crickets had eaten too much and had no courage to face death.

When they receive their paychecks, they will see what the rewards of the strong are!

Meanwhile, inside the guardhouse, Jiang Qiu felt the increasingly tense confrontation between the two sides, and her smile was incredibly bright.

Before he could break off two more segments of the orange, he noticed that Hong Meiling's face had suddenly turned pale.

"what happened?"

"Well, it's nothing. My family isn't home these past few days, and I figured I'd have nothing to do back home anyway, so I thought I might as well apply to work overtime here."

"Young boss, I'll take the night shift these next two days too. I'll stay in the guardhouse."

"Did you offend your head maid?"

Jiang Qiu glanced at her subtly.

Every time this thing gets kicked out of the house, the excuses seem to be pretty much the same.

Hong Meiling's lips twitched, but she eventually nodded awkwardly.

He had only kindly offered Sakuya a small suggestion, and she actually wanted to stab him to death!

Is this something a family should say?!

To avoid waking up in the middle of the night to find a figure suddenly standing by her bedside, she decided to stay and work overtime.

I absolutely love working overtime!

"Whatever, the guardhouse has always been designated as your new little place. As for the bathroom, you can just find any empty room to use."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

Hong Meiling happily agreed and almost impatiently slipped aside to tidy up the bed.

Although I haven't stayed here for a while, the room has been cleaned regularly, and I can lie down comfortably after a quick tidy-up.

Watching Hong Meiling's busy figure, Jiang Qiu didn't disturb her. After stretching, she walked out of the guardhouse.

Just then, the figures of Hongxia and the others returning together came into his view.

"We're back! Jiang Qiu, why did you come back so quickly today?"

Hongxia asked with some surprise, since this guy usually arrives quite late because he has club activities and gym workouts.

"The club activity was canceled today, so I came back early. There will be turtle soup for dinner."

"Oh no, I need to take one leg!"

"Me too!"

"It seems like we bought quite a few; that should be enough for us."

Upon hearing this, Hongxia's magnetically levitated ahoge (cowlick) on her head began to sway excitedly.

Before they could excitedly go upstairs, Hiratsuka Shizuka darted out even faster.

Her pretty face was extremely tense, as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

She didn't come back last night. Who knows if that guy Kikuri sneaked through my liquor stash!

If she manages to uncover this, the losses will be enormous!

She rushed back to her room, crawled under the bed and rummaged around for a while. Only after confirming that the hidden wine box was still in its original place did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She got up and rummaged around in other places a few more times. After confirming that no bottle of wine was missing, her anxiety finally subsided.

But soon, as if she realized something, her eyes became incredibly sharp.

In the past, Kiku-ri had often come to me to ask for favors, but this time she was unusually quiet, which means that she may have already found someone better!

As images of famous wines flashed through her mind, a faint green light shone in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, she tossed her bag onto the sofa and rushed excitedly to Jiang Qiu's room.

As she ran, she finally noticed the two figures she had overlooked during her frantic sprint.

"Artoria? Rin Tohsaka? What are you two doing here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared blankly at the two figures who had already cleaned up to the third floor, wondering for a moment if she had traveled back to school again.

Seeing this, Ahoge and Rin obediently greeted them as well.

"Hello, Hiratsuka-sensei. We're here to apply for part-time jobs with Jiang Qiu. Today marks our official start of employment."

"Oh, I usually live here too. You can ask me for help if you need anything."

"There's no need to feel pressured about working; Jiang Qiu is a pretty easy guy to talk to."

"Of course, if that kid bullies you, you can tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."

As Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke, she shook her fist, adopting the air of a mistress in charge, which startled the two of them.

The homeroom teacher in front of me seems to have a rather unusual relationship with Jiang Qiu.

The two of them had their doubts, but they still obediently agreed.

After giving a few more instructions, Hiratsuka Shizuka hurriedly ran into Jiang Qiu's room.

As Ahoge and Rin stared intently at Hiratsuka Shizuka casually stepping into Jiang Qiu's house as if she were going home, their suspicions grew stronger.

So Jiang Qiu actually prefers older men?

As Rin looked thoughtful, Artoria's eyes lit up.

I happen to have an older sister who is unemployed and staying at home!

Chapter 122, 123. Himeko: We're like family, how could you not trust me?

As night gradually enveloped the sky and the bright moon hung high in the heavens, the city's nightlife gradually came alive.

However, Jiang Qiu's apartment was enveloped in a peaceful tranquility.

After dinner, while Hoshika and the others were busy cleaning up, Rikka and the others, under the supervision of Hiratsuka Shizuka, obediently gathered in the living room to do their homework.

Even Artoria and the others were pulled over, their faces full of bewildered expressions.

Do part-time jobs nowadays still come with extracurricular tutoring?

"Is this how you usually are?"

Black Saber couldn't help but lower her voice and ask Mikasa, who was standing next to her.

I was hoping to slack off while doing my homework after work, instead of being watched so closely as I write!

Most importantly, how come Jiang Qiu didn't have to utter a single word?

"It's been like this since junior high school. With Sister Jing watching over me, my grades are pretty much guaranteed."

"What's the situation with Jiang Qiu?"

"He specifically applied to not do homework, but he had to make sure he didn't fail any exams, otherwise he would be finished."

"Can this really be maintained?"

"The other subjects should be fine, but Jiang Qiu's math is her weak point. We'll see if she can catch up in that."

Hearing Mikasa's answer, Saber Alter was completely taken aback.

Was this guy's academic performance really that good?

Jiang Qiu noticed her bewildered look and couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.

"It's just math. I can cram and study it carefully later, and I'll be fine."

"You'd better really make it through, otherwise you'll fail on your first test and I might just kill you first."

Hiratsuka Shizuka tapped his head irritably as a warning.

I had promised the other teachers that if this guy dragged us down, they would have to clean house!

But after issuing the warning, she still softened and suggested—

"As for math, I'll ask Himeko to tutor you a few times later."

"That guy is quite good at science, and he happens to be your math teacher, so tutoring him should be relatively easy."

"But you have to spare me a few bottles of wine. I'll take them to her later; she's an alcoholic too."

"Since you've asked someone for help, you should at least give them something in return."

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Qiu stared at Hiratsuka Shizuka with suspicion, making her feel inexplicably guilty.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
