Magical Girl Heavy Dependence

Chapter 97, The Private Tutor?

"Wait a minute, you just said... the daughter of a fairy demon princess?!"

At this moment, Jiang Fei was sprawled out on the sofa in her office, her legs casually crossed and raised high, with a pile of opened snacks beside her.

After listening to Cheng Chen's words, she finally managed to look away from her phone screen and abruptly raised her head.

With glistening crumbs still clinging to the corners of her mouth, Cheng Chen, expressionless, reached out to wipe them away for her: "That's exactly what Qiao Jie said."

He pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. "I had Congcong look into this person. Public records show that he was a long-time employee of the Xianmeng Group during its founding period, working there for over a decade without much recognition. Later, Chu Kai became the CEO of the Xianmeng Group, and in the same year, he was sent overseas to oversee the group's business in Wocheng and Jingcheng in the Northern Kingdom... That's all."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei rubbed her fingers, which were covered in seasoning powder, on the expensive sofa cushions twice, and quickly sat up straight.

"First, there's a question."

The female CEO held up a finger. "What are Xianmeng Group's overseas businesses?"

She had previously explained to Yan Xi that the purpose of the Fairy Dream Group was to help the Fairy Demoness maintain the "ball".

Commercial operations were merely an add-on to this objective. For many years, the Xianmeng Group's sphere of influence had never expanded outwards, remaining confined to Yincheng and its surrounding areas.

Even within the Southern Federation, most cities haven't been fully explored, let alone the more distant Northern Federation.

"I don't know."

Cheng Chen also shrugged, "The key point is that after Chu Kai's death, the person who succeeded him as CEO of the group was not one of the people we had favored during our research. Instead, the board of directors held a closed-door meeting and directly announced the candidate."

Jiang Fei's expression turned serious: "This also means that the fairy and demon princess personally chose this person."

Cheng Chen nodded.

The board of directors of Xianmeng Group is merely a formality.

In business, this term has always been used to refer to the fairy/demon herself.

"The internal situation of Xianmeng Group can be described as a complete mess."

Cheng Chen continued, "After Chu Kai's death, the country descended into severe infighting and power struggles, and this is only the beginning. Senior executives with enough experience and power are networking and gathering strength to compete for the new CEO position. You should be well aware of this; you've probably received far more private invitations than I have recently."

Jiang Fei nodded.

"At this time, parachuting in a previously virtually unknown head of overseas business as the new CEO will inevitably generate more internal opposition than we imagined. But the first thing he did after taking office was to come to Yinfu Entertainment to deliver an invitation to Fairy Demoness."

Cheng Chen interlaced her fingers. "Don't you find it strange?"

"That's definitely unusual."

Jiang Fei rubbed her chin, frowning in thought.

It's not that Qiao Jie can't personally deliver the invitation; in fact, only he should deliver an invitation of this caliber.

But that's not the problem.

The problem is that the Xianmeng Group has only recently shown a tendency to expand outwards. They have teamed up with Yinfu Entertainment to sponsor the "Ten Schools Joint Performance" in a high-profile manner, taking the lead while aiming directly at all the magical girls in Yincheng.

Whatever the ultimate goal of this expansion, it is not a small matter that can be easily accomplished by a few people.

For the entire company to work together effectively, stability is the primary prerequisite.

But the fairy and the demon princess did not choose to maintain stability at this critical juncture; instead, they added fuel to the fire of the chaos in their own backyard...

Alternatively, Qiao Jie is capable enough to sweep away all dissenting voices within the Xianmeng Group in just a few days.

Alternatively, the fairy and the demon princess might not care about the chaos, and might even hope that the chaos would be even greater.

Both men present were well aware that Yinfu Entertainment's most important partner and competitor was Xianmeng Group, and any move by the other party would have a profound impact on the company.

They must not stand idly by; only by gathering as much information as possible can they make a judgment in advance.

"...But the strangest thing is that 'daughter,' isn't it?" Jiang Fei rolled her eyes and brought the topic back. "I've never heard of the Fairy Demoness having a daughter."

"If I remember correctly, the only way for a magical girl to have children is to mate with a demon."

Cheng Chen placed his hands on his chin. "Who is the fairy demon's lover?"

Jiang Fei rolled her eyes: "How would I know? Could it be that Qiao Jie? Back then, he wasn't exiled overseas after losing an internal power struggle, but instead secretly got Fairy Demoness pregnant and took the child to live somewhere no one knew him!"

Is that possible?

Cheng Chen glanced at her sideways.

Jiang Fei chuckled: "Why not? Working hard is nothing compared to directly taking over the boss and having a bright future. Do you understand what upward management is? If not, I'll teach you~"

Cheng Chen felt it wasn't as simple as she thought.

With the overwhelming power of the fairy and the demon princess, there is no need to hide her partner and offspring. Wouldn't it be better to keep them by her side?

Snapped!

Jiang Fei clapped her hands: "Alright, since you're not interested in managing upwards, let's call it a day. We don't want to get tricked. Maybe they came here just to put on a show for us. If we keep overthinking things, we'll really fall into their trap!"

She changed the subject abruptly, feigning concern as she leaned closer and asked, "Speaking of which, did that young lady have a conflict with Cang Qing? Is your sister alright?" She deliberately emphasized the word "sister."

"Um."

Cheng Chen nodded slightly. "The other party was after Song Lan. They seem to have mistaken Xiao Ai for Song Lan and attacked her directly."

"How strange, where did this savage come from?" Jiang Fei pouted. "Even if you grew up in the Northern Kingdom, anyone who goes online should know what Song Lan looks like! Our Song Lan is a national idol! A country bumpkin."

As she spoke, she patted the crumbs off her clothes and reached out of the office.

Cheng Chen watched her go and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

"Idol coaching." Jiang Fei turned around and winked at him cutely. "I'm getting ready to take back my producer job. I'm going to do a surprise check on my trainees and give them some assignments."

She waved her hand and pushed open the door with a flourish: "You can handle this yourself. As the vice president of the company, you don't need to consult me ​​on everything."

pat.

As the door closed, Cheng Chen was left alone in the office. He tilted his head.

It seems...it seems...Jiang Fei is plotting something behind his back?

……

"What the heck~ Turns out he's just a newcomer!"

The girl was sprawled out on the wide, soft bed, holding a tablet computer in her hands, browsing the web while rolling around on the bed.

"What was her name again... Azure? Hmm~ Can she attract so many fans just by fighting those low-level demons? These people are so easy to fool. Just killing a few monsters makes you a hero in their eyes." She rolled around on the bed several times, her originally smooth golden hair becoming messy and disheveled, like a lion with a curly mane.

Qiao Jie, dressed as a housekeeper, stood by the bed and answered her question.

"In the year since her debut, Cang Qing has killed fourteen wanted demons and participated in nine large-scale monster extermination operations, making her extremely active in Yin City. In battle, she always prioritizes protecting ordinary people, and there have been many instances where she would rather be injured herself than let others escape."

It's just a ruse.

The blonde girl curled her lip in disdain, then suddenly sat up. "If it were me, I could definitely do better than her! Believe me or not?"

Qiao Jie smiled and said, "Of course, Miss."

"It's boring."

After receiving affirmation, the girl deflated like a punctured balloon, lying down in the middle of the bed again, spread-eagled. "This kind of childish game of heroes is no fun at all. I am the most powerful magical girl. Surpassing my mother is only a matter of time. I'm not that childish."

Qiao Jie ignored him and instead checked her watch to confirm the time: "Miss, dinner is ready. Please proceed to the dining room."

The blonde girl's eyes lit up: "Is Mother here?"

"Lady Demoness is not here."

Qiao Jie replied.

The light in the girl's eyes dimmed, but she quickly perked up and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Fine, I'm not a spoiled child. I'll eat by myself... Have them bring dinner to my room!"

Qiao Jie nodded and whispered an instruction into the earpiece clipped to her collar.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"It's so slow."

The blonde girl complained.

However, the person who pushed the food cart into the room was not the maid who usually took care of her daily needs, but a completely unfamiliar face she had never seen before.

The blonde girl's eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are you?"

"Miss Yaoguang, it's an honor to meet you. I am Guwu."

The visitor smiled at her and gave a slight bow.

The girl ignored her and turned to look at Qiao Jie beside her.

Qiao Jie nodded slightly and explained, "I forgot to tell you, Miss. This is the private tutor that Lady Demoness found for you. You will be receiving her guidance during your stay in Yin City."

The lone wild goose walked up to the girl, looking down at her.

The blonde girl defiantly raised her head and glared back at her.

In that brief moment of pause, Gu Wu reached out his hand, his smile deepening.

"I hope we get along well, miss."
