Cyberpunk: I am the heir of a corporate dynasty

Transcending into the role of antagonists in the cyber game, with a daunting entourage of mesmerizing maidens, is indeed intriguing. However, it is lamentable that they are all mere pawns. The cerebral enchantress, possessing the capability to paralyze entire military forces, is hailed as the uncrowned monarch of the hacker realm. Yet, she falls prey to the protagonist's charm, ultimately succumbing to divulging corporate secrets, tarnishing her erstwhile reputation. As for the dark war deity, whose individual prowess can obliterate a squadron of mechanized warriors, as a mercenary, he bestows upon her the finest arsenal and perks within the conglomerate. Alas, the plot prevails; amidst a crackdown on the protagonist, a mutual affinity emerges between them, culminating in betrayal of the conglomerate in a certain denouement, aiding the protagonist in severing ties with her former self. Such instances abound. To avert a fate of stifling demise, he deliberates meticulously, arriving at a resolute decision. Observing the preparations for the impending assault on the protagonist within the corporate hall, Jonas beckons her into the confines of his office. Amidst the bemused gaze of her counterpart, a delicate collar materializes in his hand. "Miss Dark War Deity, surely you wouldn't want your sister to suffer indignity, would you?"

What are your true thoughts, after all?

Question: How to remedy offending one's new boss?

Answer: There is no remedy, just wait for death.

Time and again, Shi Yuliangzi complained internally about Miss Chelsey, especially since she was sold to Jonas without any notice. Of course, she had contemplated running away multiple times; after all, who knew how Jonas Weiting, with his malicious methods, would further manipulate her? But as a competent subordinate, what she ought to do is to handle the tasks assigned by her new leader properly, firmly obey all instructions issued by the new leadership, and then respond to the previous leadership's call when appropriate... In plain language, it meant to quietly act as a spy within the Weiting Corporation.

In the Weiting Corporation's Altair branch building, Shi Yuliangzi, dressed in a janitor's uniform, was hiding in the restroom, with intermittent communication in front of her. Thinking about her miserable experiences these past few days, Shi Yuliangzi was filled with anger, but looking at Chelsey in front of her, she didn't know what to say. Even though the latter had sold her out, she was still her superior. What else could she do? She was just a miserable laborer.

During their communication, Chelsey, looking at Shi Yuliangzi full of resentment, felt a rare sense of guilt in her heart. "I'm sure you understand the reason I arranged for you to enter the Weiting Corporation... We need an insurance to ensure data confidentiality." She hesitated before asking, "Jonas hasn't done anything excessive to you, has he?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuliangzi expressionlessly opened her hands, showing Chelsey the clothes she was wearing. The badge on her chest clearly displayed her current job. "Weiting Corporation Janitor." Then, with some bitterness, she said, "I've been assigned to clean the toilets for four or five days."

Hearing this, Chelsey seemed unable to bear seeing the girl's current plight. She turned her head slightly and said, "The Nathan Corporation will remember your contributions, but please hold on for this period of time... um..." "During this period, your salary will double, and you will be paid when you return to the Nathan Corporation." Shi Yuliangzi's eyes lit up at Chelsey's words, but then she reluctantly put on a struggling expression and said, "Twice the pay... for cleaning toilets at Weiting Corporation for a few months..."

Chelsey sighed and said helplessly, "Triple." As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yuliangzi declared firmly, "I, Shi Yuliangzi, belong to the Nathan Corporation in life and in death!" "As for that Jonas, watch me steal all his intelligence!"

Weiting Corporation, Altair branch building.

Jonas watched the surveillance footage in front of him, which recorded almost every word of communication between Miss Shi Yuliangzi and Chelsey. "Watch me steal all his intelligence!" Upon hearing the girl's words, Jonas couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Beside him, Eiffel saw this scene and shook her head somewhat helplessly. Miss Shi Yuliangzi seemed to have learned nothing at all, which was quite in line with Jonas's intentions. Eiffel was very aware of Mr. Jonas's maliciousness... The more the prey resisted, the more he enjoyed it, just like a cat playing with a mouse.

Although she didn't know what the outcome would be for Miss Shi Yuliangzi, based on previous experience, this Miss Shi Yuliangzi wouldn't be able to remain a spy for much longer before being won over. Thinking of the girl's resolute declaration of loyalty to Chelsey just now, Eiffel was somewhat looking forward to the girl's conflicted appearance after being won over. She coughed and quickly cleared her mind of those miscellaneous thoughts, directly throwing the blame onto Jonas. "What happy thoughts does Miss Eiffel have?"

An inquiring voice came, and Eiffel turned her head to see Jonas smiling at her. At this moment, the girl realized that her lips had involuntarily curled up. Feeling her cheeks heat up under his gaze, Eiffel coughed twice, tucked her hair behind her ear, and resumed her usual calm demeanor, pretending as if nothing had happened. "Nothing much, perhaps Mr. Jonas misunderstood." Only the slightly reddened skin at the base of her exposed ear revealed that things were not as the girl had said.

Jonas didn't expose the girl's thoughts but smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, Miss Eiffel, where exactly do you find me not serious?" Eiffel frowned upon hearing Jonas's question and began listing: "You never consult with anyone before making decisions, your actions are too reckless, and you spend too much time on unnecessary matters... Um—"

The girl didn't notice the approaching figure. When she came back to her senses, the close proximity of the black pupils startled Eiffel, making her shift uncomfortably and ask, "Why are you so close, Mr. Jonas...?" "Actually, I've always been curious..." Jonas's tone was casual, but it made Eiffel feel extremely uncomfortable. The amusement in his eyes made Eiffel feel as though her hidden thoughts had been laid bare. And his next words made her body tense up directly: "Is Miss Eiffel disgusted by my atrocities, or disappointed that I haven't done the same to you?"
