Chapter 159: Chapter 32 Yun Yuqing’s Secret Technique - Essential Oil Back Massage_2
Based on what she knew of the Uncle, this wouldn’t be over anytime soon. If they were discovered, being trapped inside would be a disaster.
"Don’t worry, we’ll just play for a little while," Sun Dasheng said, knowing just how to comfort her.
"Really?" Yun Yuqing was highly skeptical.
"Of course. I swear on this lamp," Sun Dasheng said with conviction.
Eh? That’s weird. Does anyone even swear on a lamp anymore?
But she didn’t have time to dwell on it, as he began to move.
Just like that, more than an hour passed.
The voices of Fang Sihan and Li Sili sounded from outside the bathroom.
"I’m going to die," Yun Yuqing felt too ashamed to face anyone now. "It’s all your fault, you bad uncle! You said it would only be for a little while, but once we started, there was no end to it!"
Sun Dasheng feigned innocence. "I felt like we only played for a little while. I had no idea so much time had passed, and you didn’t remind me either." He expertly turned the tables.
"What do we do now?" Yun Yuqing panicked. If those two discovered she was in here doing shameful things with the Uncle, she’d be finished. She would die of social embarrassment on the spot.
"Don’t worry, let’s listen to what they’re saying," Sun Dasheng whispered, holding her to comfort her.
They both held their breath, listening to the conversation outside.
"Si Han, is the Uncle still taking a shower?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It’s strange. Since when does the Uncle take so long to shower? I’m already done, and he’s still not out?"
"Hey! You’re right. You don’t think he had an accident in there, do you?"
The next second, a knock came at the bathroom door.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
"What is it?" Sun Dasheng asked loudly, dispelling their worries.
"Uncle, so you are still in there. That’s good. We saw you were in there for so long, we were starting to think something had happened to you."
After that, their voices gradually faded. Judging by the footsteps, it sounded like they had gone to the living room.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but Yun Yuqing now faced the awkward predicament of being unable to leave. From this bathroom, anyone in the living room would see her the moment she stepped out.
After finishing their shower and getting dressed, Yun Yuqing was at a complete loss.
Sun Dasheng walked over and pinched her cheek. "Let’s see if you dare to be so bold again."
"Uncle, what do I do? I can’t get out."
"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve got a trick up my sleeve."
He put on his underwear and grabbed a large bath towel. He said to Yun Yuqing, "Hold on to me."
She obediently complied. He then wrapped the large towel around both of them, concealing them so thoroughly that, at least from behind, no one could tell anything was amiss.
Then, he opened the bathroom door.
Because he exited backward, the two girls’ gazes fell upon him but failed to notice Yun Yuqing hidden against his chest.
"Uncle, are you done showering?"
"Yeah. I must have been tired today. I actually fell asleep while soaking in the bath, so it took a little longer."
"No wonder. Well, you should get to sleep early tonight, Uncle."
"Alright. You two get to bed early, too. You have school tomorrow."
He then shuffled sideways like a crab toward the bedrooms.
"Strange, why did Yu Qing go to bed so early tonight? She didn’t even come out to watch TV with us."
The words from the living room made the body in his arms stiffen, her hands gripping him even tighter. He patted her back, signaling her to stay quiet.
"Don’t worry, we’re almost at your room."
Only then did the body in his arms relax again.
At her bedroom door, he set her down and removed the towel. She saw the light of day again. Seeing she was safely at her own doorway, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Uncle, I’m going back to my room."
She slipped into her room like an eel.
Before long, she emerged, neatly dressed, and ran happily toward the living room.
"Si Li, Si Han, I’m here! Why didn’t you two call me to watch TV?"
The living room once again filled with the sound of three girls’ silvery laughter.
Sun Dasheng shook his head with a smile. Women truly are natural-born actresses.
「In the days that followed.」
The three girls became diligent students, and Sun Dasheng settled back into his work routine. He spent most of his nights in the large flat at Courtyard No.1, with an occasional overnight stay at the villa.
「As for his prized disciple...」
「Investment Company Headquarters. Chairman’s Office.」

KNOCK, KNOCK!
A knock sounded at the office door. The secretary walked in.
"Director Sun, Miss Ouyang is here as you requested."
"Good, bring her in."
Receiving the instruction, the secretary led Ouyang Jiani inside. She looked around her master’s office with curiosity. The moment the secretary left, her true nature emerged. "Wow! Master, your office is way too luxurious!"
"Master, can I please sit in your boss’s chair? Just to feel what it’s like."
Sun Dasheng smiled and gave up the seat.
Ouyang Jiani didn’t stand on ceremony. She plopped right down, soaking in the comfort of a chair worth thousands. She couldn’t help but sigh, "Being rich feels so good."
Then she stood up, returning the seat to her master.
"So, Master, what position has your esteemed self prepared for this humble disciple?" she asked, getting straight to the point.
Sun Dasheng sat back down and gestured for her to sit as well.
"I was originally thinking of sending you to the media company, but on second thought, that would be a waste of your talents. I have a new plan, and I wonder if you’re interested."
"Just tell me, Master. I’ll do whatever you say. You’re my master; you’re not going to lead your little disciple astray, are you?" Ouyang Jiani said, relaxing comfortably into the chair opposite him. In front of her master, she shed all maidenly pretense, sprawling casually.
But this was exactly what Sun Dasheng liked about her. Others were always so timid in his presence, daring only to perch on the edge of their seats, afraid an improper posture would ruin his impression of them. He disliked such a tense atmosphere. This was much better—a light and easy conversation.
"I plan to acquire another media company. We won’t do anything else, just focus on live-streaming sales. What do you think? Does it have a future?" Sun Dasheng asked.
"It sounds good, but we don’t have any top streamers or any well-known major brands. What leverage will we have to break into the market?" Ouyang Jiani’s question was sharp and to the point.
Everyone knew there was money in live-streaming e-commerce these days. Every player in the internet space wanted a piece of the pie, but very few actually understood how to succeed. You either had a major influencer with a built-in audience or a major brand with national recognition. Without one of those two, 99% of live-streaming ventures just lose money.
What she didn’t know was that losing money was precisely her master’s plan. But he couldn’t say that outright, or she would think he was just messing with her. Even a disciple wouldn’t follow her master into apparent madness.
"About that... I’ll inject some capital into the company. Doesn’t Xiaoju Technology have a top influencer? Go poach her."
Oh? Now that he mentioned it, her interest was piqued. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for revenge? He must have arranged this specifically to give me a chance to get even. She shot her master a grateful look.
"Don’t worry, Master. I guarantee I will complete the mission," she declared, making a solemn pledge on the spot.
"Excellent! I’ve already assigned someone to negotiate the acquisition of that media company. It should only take a few days. You will be the general manager. Work hard and don’t disappoint me." He leaned in slightly, a glint in his eye. "Wipe the floor with that bunch from Xiaoju Technology. Get some payback for both of us."
Ouyang Jiani had heard more than enough motivational speeches to last a lifetime; the mere thought of another one was nauseating. But this particular "chicken soup" her master was brewing today... it smelled delicious!
Ouyang Jiani felt her fists clench. "Master, just you wait. Your disciple will take her little spade and poach every last bit of their talent for you." Her voice rose with excitement. "I’ll dig away at their foundations until their walls collapse! Hmph! That’ll teach them to mess with me."
Sun Dasheng secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. Women were truly vengeful creatures.
Huh? Why am I sweating? This avenger is on my team.
Thinking this, Sun Dasheng broke into a smile.
"Poach them," he encouraged. "Master will give you the money. Go to their company and poach everyone you can!"
