Xu Youxiang: Look at Your Feet

After hearing the thin man's explanation, Xia Yu's expression seemed a bit strange. What Xu Youxiang told him was quite different from what the thin man said.

The thin man's family owned a cloth factory and had their own clothing brand, but in current society, people usually bought readymade clothes, so not many paid attention to the cloth itself. Thus, the man's company had been struggling in recent years.

The man, seeking change, had been persuaded by a friend to invest in an internet company. The friend had boasted of its potential, and the man had invested a lot of money but had not seen any profit for a long time. Now, he was a bit anxious and wanted to find a professional to see if he had been deceived.

However, he didn't know any reliable people. The PowerPoint presentation his friend had shown him seemed not bad, so he could only be led by the nose. Moreover, he only suspected that he might have been cheated but was not sure, so he couldn't investigate openly.

At this time, he heard that Xu Youxiang worked for the Yu family's company and wanted her help.

He had tried to chat with Xu Youxiang before, hoping that his request would not seem abrupt, but he had been rejected before even asking. Thinking that Xu Youxiang disliked flattery, he asked if she and her boyfriend needed money, attempting to tempt them with a reward.

Looking at the anxious thin man, Xia Yu coughed, "Let me see the information." The thin man immediately fetched the laptop from his car.

After a quick glance, Xia Yu discovered that the man's company was running an online forum. Currently, forums did not have mature business and membership services, making profit almost impossible, so not seeing any income was normal.

"He told me that holding onto users could bring money, but he has not made any progress after trying various offline activities for a long time," the thin man added.

Xia Yu nodded. The man was constantly exploring ways of making a profit, but before membership and services appeared, making money was not easy. Online membership and services depended on online payments and shopping.

Unless they sold Q-currency cards for charging like Penguin did, it was apparent that these forums lacked the channels to distribute physical cards throughout the region. Glancing at various expenses and making a simple calculation, Xia Yu said to the thin man, "He didn't cheat you out of money, or at least, not much. This project has no mature profit plan throughout the internet, so you can't see the money. However, insiders are optimistic about the prospects of such projects."

Seeing that Xia Yu was knowledgeable, the thin man wanted to ask more, but Xia Yu had already returned to Xu Youxiang. He had only casually helped the man, and continuing the conversation would delve into topics beyond this period, which he didn't want to do.

"Did you solve it?" Xu Youxiang asked.

"Sort of," Xia Yu didn't know how to explain and decided to discuss it later when they returned home. Xu Youxiang thought the same. They walked around and, from the boasting women, Xu Youxiang got the contact information of a few new cloth manufacturers, refused the second stage of the gathering, and returned home with Xia Yu.

As soon as the door closed, Xu Youxiang eagerly asked, "What did you say to him?"

"I said you were a man a year ago," Xia Yu answered.

Xu Youxiang was stunned, and after a moment, she grabbed Xia Yu's waist tightly.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, I'm just kidding!" Breaking free from Xu Youxiang's hand, Xia Yu began to explain seriously.

He recounted the whole story in sequence.

Looking at the somewhat dull gaze of Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu added: "You thought people coveted your body, but they just coveted your skill."

"Don't say that!" Xu Youxiang was ashamed and angry, "You pervert who likes men!"

She threw the small bag in her hand at Xia Yu.

Catching the small bag, Xia Yu was pleased with his successful teasing of Xu Youxiang.

He returned the small bag to Xu Youxiang's hand and prepared to push her back to the bedroom.

"Don't come near me!" Xu Youxiang said arrogantly.

Xia Yu ignored her, instead getting even closer, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed in the bedroom amidst her screams.

After he closed the door, the nanny came out of the kitchen. She put the wheelchair in place and sighed about how young people really knew how to have fun.

Xia Yu and Xu Youxiang, who were good at playing, lay on the bed, each holding a controller, playing a game.

It was a very old game called "Squirrel Wars," in which two squirrels fought and attacked by lifting boxes and throwing them at opponents. Since teammates could also be thrown like boxes, it was more enjoyable when two people played.

Xu Youxiang, holding a grudge, had been trying to set Xia Yu up, but was unable to achieve her goal due to his skillful gameplay.

After realizing that her skills were of no use, Xu Youxiang gave up trying in the game. She leaned her body towards Xia Yu in an attempt to obstruct his performance by this method.

But Xia Yu's hands remained steady, seemingly unaffected.

Xu Youxiang was not only angry at the failure of her plan but also began to doubt her charm.

In fact, Xia Yu's ranking was just much higher than Xu Youxiang's, and even with the interference, he was still better than her.

Unwilling to give up without achieving her goal, Xu Youxiang thought for a moment, reached down, took off her socks, and said to Xia Yu, "Look at my feet."

Xia Yu frowned. If he wanted to look at Xu Youxiang's feet, he would have to turn his head, and the screen would disappear from his sight. Even with his strong skills, he couldn't locate the position by just listening.

Sitting up, he slowly moved back until he was behind Xu Youxiang. This way, he could take care of both Xu Youxiang's feet and the screen.

He was somewhat confused, unsure what Xu Youxiang wanted him to look at her feet for.

Putting some attention on Xu Youxiang's feet, Xia Yu looked at her delicate soles and fair toes.

Under the light, Xu Youxiang's toes were somewhat transparent, making people want to hold them in their hands and play with them.

Unfortunately, this foot couldn't move and had no sensation. Otherwise, watching the toes move and tickling them to hear Xu Youxiang's laughter would be very interesting.

As he thought of this, he saw the toes of that foot, except for the big toe, move slightly.

Blinking, Xia Yu saw the toes move again.

He was momentarily stunned, and finally, the pressing of the controller stopped.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Youxiang lifted the squirrel controlled by Xia Yu and threw it at the boss. Xia Yu's character died successfully, and she was also very happy.

However, she hadn't seen Xia Yu's response for a long time.

After tricking others, the biggest thrill is to see the other person's reaction. Without getting a response from Xia Yu, Xu Youxiang's happiness suddenly decreased by half.

She turned her head to look at Xia Yu, annoyed that he didn't respond, but saw that he was staring straight at her feet.
