Chapter 436: Chapter 437: The Chef Takes a Leave

"Leader, I want to bring someone in." The leader is the Vice President of Kaleidoscope, who has the authority to recruit players, unlike Yan Lang. So, he sent a voice message to the leader’s avatar.

"Oh? Who is it? Is their identity safe? Which team should they be allocated to?"

The management model of the Kaleidoscope Guild is complex and standard, more like the operation model of a mature company. The Kaleidoscope Guild hardly recruits from the outside, even their lowest-tier members are their own in reality, with clear identities, receiving subsidies, monthly salaries, and benefits.

Therefore, the chances for ordinary players to join the Kaleidoscope Guild are slim. Even players with a slightly better skillset or more money cannot join. The Kaleidoscope Guild does not lack players who are good at the game or wealthy. They are formed by several major financial groups, and they even have the backing of the government. Even the players recruited from the game will be thoroughly checked for their real identities, and without their knowledge, their phone numbers are all secretly monitored!

Hence, the cautious conversation mentioned above.

Yan Lang’s eyes flickered as he pondered, then said, "Safe. Don’t allocate to any group because she’s still underage, about eleven or twelve."

"Underage? Ha, Yan Lang, when did you start raising kids? What’s your relationship with her?"

"Why ask so much? Just tell me if I can bring her in. All I can tell you is that I value her."

"Hmm... okay, give me her name, I’ll recruit her now." The leader showed a smile, a tone seldom heard from Yan Lang.

"Her name is Shangxiang Xiaojiao, but she’s offline now having dinner. When she’s online, I’ll notify you."

"Alright, just don’t forget. Even though she’s underage, we need to verify her background, so we can give her the benefits and monthly salary."

Once you join the Kaleidoscope Guild, regardless of your roles, you can enjoy benefits, a monthly salary, and some gaming intel resources. The structure of the Kaleidoscope Guild is like a pyramid, each level managing the next, it’s extremely well-organized.

...

The game pod in the bedroom opens, Chu You opens his eyes, and then... sees Bao’er looking down at him curiously from above. He gives Bao’er a faint smile, Bao’er immediately smiles back, saying, "Brother is awake."

Bao’er at this moment is in a pure and fresh look, dressed in a simple and elegant school uniform, her black hair divided into two strands by two hairbands, flowing down onto her chest. Soft, straight bangs covering her forehead, coupled with the setting sun in the background, makes the already delicate Bao’er incredibly charming.

Chu You stood up from inside, tousled Bao’er’s hair, her smile even brighter, as if she quite enjoyed this intimate act from Chu You.

"I didn’t wake up, I just logged off. Done with work for now." He said, stepping out of the game pod.

"Oh, Auntie Zhou has prepared dinner, it’s time to eat." Bao’er explained her presence.

Auntie Zhou? Uh... this form of address seems a bit old. If he remembered right, Zhou Zhijun isn’t married yet. An unmarried woman... can also be addressed as sister. Of course, it would not work if the age difference is too great. Zhou Zhijun isn’t too old though, she’s 28, maybe 29.

"Bao’er, how are you getting along with Sister Zijun?"

"Mmm, fine, I quite like her, she quite likes me too."

"Heh, and you still call her Auntie Zhou, she didn’t say anything?"

"Ah? She didn’t say anything, did I do wrong?" Bao’er was surprised, not understanding why Brother Chu would say that.

"In the future, just call her Sister Zhou, it’s more appealing."

"Oh, okay." Bao’er obediently nodded her head. At this point, they had reached the corridor.

During dinner, Chu You noticed that Zhou Zhijun seemed to have something weighing on her mind. She would occasionally glance at him, appearing quite perturbed. Although she tried to hide this, he still noticed.

Upon swallowing his food, Chu You turned to Zhou Zhijun and said, "Sister Zijun, you seem to have something on your mind. What’s up?"

Bao’er was sitting in Lin Luor’s old spot. Upon hearing this, she shot a glance at the pair, then went back to chewing her food.

Zhou Zhijun smiled awkwardly, then braced herself and stared at Chu You, finally saying, "Young Master Chu, there is a situation at home that requires my urgent attention. It will probably take a week."

At this, Chu You was somewhat surprised, "Do you need to handle it in person?"

Zhou Zhijun pursed her lips and nodded solemnly, her face etched with pain, "Yes, an elder at home is on their last legs." Zhou Zhijun had only received this news from her sister Zhou Yuxuan’s phone call today. Zhou Yuxuan was still Chu You’s personal assistant, with a high monthly salary and great authority. Chu You hadn’t been in contact with her as often lately, regarding the girl he had been intimate with in his previous life, Chu You was still unsure of how to deal with this matter.

"Ah, condolences, that’s fine, when will you leave?" Chu You approved Zhou Zhijun’s request for leave.

"I’ll set off in three days, thank you, Young Master Chu." Zhou Zhijun said tentatively, worried that Chu You might hire a new chef or simply replace her during her absence. She was very satisfied with her current job and cherished it.

"Why are you being so formal with me? Heh, in your absence, I might have to eat out for a while... um, okay, let me arrange for someone to contact you. She’ll help with booking your roundtrip flight ticket, and you can turn to her if you have any difficulties." Chu You was always generous with his own people.

"Heh, thank you, Young Master Chu." Detecting his genuine concern for her, Zhou Zhijun felt warm.

Chu You dialed a number, it was his personal assistant, "Yuxuan..."

When she heard her boss saying this name, a strange glint passed through Zhou Zhijun’s eyes.

"Hmm, that’s it, bye." After hanging up, Chu You looked at Zhou Zhijun, "Someone will contact you in a while, she shares the same surname Zhou as you, and she’s also a beauty."

"Heh, you’re too flattering, Young Master Chu."

After dinner, Chu You went to the bathroom in the hall to freshen up, then headed upstairs. When he reached the doorway of Lin Luor’s room, which Bao’er was currently residing in, Chu You stopped, his gaze flickering. He took out a cigarette and smoked leisurely.

The chat group Bao’er joined was unhealthy, he had to talk to her about it.

Soon after, Bao’er exited the dining hall wearing her school uniform. Looking up, she saw Chu You smoking upstairs.

"Bao’er, come up here." Chu You said calmly.

Bao’er was already planning to go up, she still hadn’t done the homework her teacher assigned, upon hearing this, she responded and obediently headed towards the stairs.

Seeing her coming, Bao’er gazed curiously at Chu You while standing next to him, prompting him to open the door to Lin Luor’s room and walked in - Bao’er followed.

"Close the door." Chu You instructed as he put out his cigarette.
