"Sir, here are the documents you requested." Jin Xuan proceeded to hand over the files that Zi Hao needed. One particular folder contained the investigation held for the woman the sir had been living with.
The moonlight softly shined it's rays unto Zi Hao's face creating an ethereal feeling and a distance none could dare to break.
It has always been like that. So, it's such a shame that this 'brother' could not stay with her. Jin Xuan felt a bit bittersweet. For people like them, who were tied up with countless dark threads of responsibilities, it seems such a far reach. If they were to leave everything? Jin Xuan looked at Zi Hao. Anyways, it was something impossible.
Zi Hao's hand that was continously typing suddenly paused.
"Sir?" Jin Xuan caught this subtlety and was always the first to ask. He was the sir's first companion ever since afterall.
"Transfer an account to her." Zi Hao uttered which would leave any ordinary person shocked. It was grand, the value of an account. Jin Xuan also paused for a moment before agreeing.
"As you wish." Jin Xuan nodded and made his way out. If Zi Hao had needed anything from him all would be uttered in one breath. Besides, he was just one call, shout, or chat away. As it had been and would be. In Jin Xuan's current position, nothing less would be expected.

[[Hostttt, what do you plan to do?]] The system has Ben incessant with his whining for several days. Lin Yang seemed to have had mastered the rules to ignoring him or muting him. The strange thing is since the villain had left, it didn't feel like it was muted. It was just being ignored, which actually hurt more.
The white blob held an illusory hand over its chest dramatically acting that of a heartache.
In the past few days, Lin Yang was actually doing pretty well. Since there was no one home, she actually took up Su Yan's offer for dinner. The girl actually had good recommendations that had always amazed her. She was able to try various dishes that was also quite hard to taste.
'So that's why it's a must to be rich' she thought to herself. Looking back, it was through connections that they were able to skip reservations since Su Yan had made herself an investor to some of these restaurants. This friend also seemed quite familiar with the market and various food industry bosses. She'd have to leave a good gift to this generous friend. She nodded to herself.
Lin Yang was just back from one of those foodie trips before she went to the study to continue her research. There was still much to learn. Additionally, if she combines these ideas from the modern era and where she comes from, there would definetely various breakthroughs.
A ping from Lin Yang's account caught the system's attention.
[[...]]
(ノ゜ー゜)ノ - the system wants to flip a table
[[Host! You! You! A waitress! A waitress!]] In a self-induced rage the system could not longer form a coherentnt follow-up. The ping from Lin Yang's device was a recruitment offer sent to her roughly to be a servant or a helper in the upcoming gala. It's a gig to be surprised about. Such shouldn't even reach Lin Yang's hands since it required a long-standing background check and application process. It was an event that no ordinary people would attent so security measures would really be topnotch. It's just a wonder how Lin Yang was able to come across it and no it wasn't sent by the villain nor her good friend.
[[A waitress! Host, instead of an honored guest? Instead of going with your good friend, you chose to work??]] The system calmed down a but was still fired up.
'Oh, what novel or crazy world did it pick-up the host. The host was not a heroine in an abuse story, right?' The system shot weird looks, no, projected himself to cast weird looks to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang through her magnificent mental skills still skillfully ignored the system. She was busy with something that would be her game changer. It's such a shame that the system couldn't be bothered to read more on the books and information Lin Yang has been recently browsing and learning. The system did attempt once but he was bored to death reading gibberish and numbers from the research and as a higher system, he already understands the basic advancements of this world.
Here comes the limitations of higher technology, or the program the system operates. The human mind processes various information differently and combines it together to form a unique idea that may be influenced by that person's perspectives and growth. The AI needs to be consistently updated to find the best algorithm and pattern to follow for their better judgement. While the human mind is dictated by their ownselves and can be impulsive, that's where the difference can be found.
...
It was too late at night and Lin Yang finally shut off the computer that has been operating nonstop for hours. The dawn would also signify the push for the dominoes to fall. There were still a few hours until the gala so she should get some rest before she prepared. Nothing beats a good sleep to recover in this world.
Lin Yang stared at the sun that's slightly peaking through the windows before she closed the curtains and headed to bed.
'There is a time for everything'
...
In another corner of the city, Zi Hao paused for a moment and looked at the skies.
They were under the same sky and yet they were from different worlds. Such a pause went unnoticed as he continued walking towards his car from the front of the building. He had more to do before it ends.
He could only hope that she'd reach a happy end in this world
