"Ki-kun, you seem to have a good relationship with this God Tongue. And the other party looks different from the rumors."
"Rumors are rumors, but they're not entirely unfounded either. They're mainly just people on the same side. As for our relationship, it's definitely good, since strictly speaking, she's my official girlfriend."
After Lin Qi casually said this, the girls all looked at each other strangely. They thought everyone was the same, but it turns out you have a real one too.
Erina herself thought this guy would try to hide it or something, but she didn't expect him to say it so openly.
He was secretly a little happy, after all, the other person hadn't meant to confess or anything like that, they were just joking with him. But he quickly realized something was wrong. The people were surprised, and the way they looked at him was strange.
Erina felt immense pressure for some reason, especially from the six blue-haired beauties in front of her. Although she knew their identities and that they were just ordinary people from a family with no talents, she still felt a lot of pressure.
At this point, Lin Qi decisively chose to run away, completely oblivious to the meaning of loyalty.
"I haven't tried Hisako's food yet, I'll go there first, see you later."
Erina tried to stop him after hearing this, but 07 had already slipped away. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "This bastard dumped such a big problem on me and then ran away. Can't he have any sense of responsibility?"
Erina knew very well that this guy wasn't a responsible person, but couldn't he be this irresponsible?
After leaving, Lin Qi looked shaken. He patted his chest, realizing he almost couldn't escape. The situation was quite dangerous, and it was the first time he had ever felt this kind of pressure. Yes, pressure.
When Lin Qi ran into a secretary, she brought out a warm bowl of egg drop soup.
Of course, it's only similar. After all, Lin Qi could tell that this was a medicinal version of egg drop soup. Making this so early in the morning was really quite interesting.
"Hisako-chan".
Lin Qi rushed over and greeted her with a smile. The secretary became a little nervous when she saw Lin Qi, and even blushed.
"Qi... Mentor Lin..."
The secretary originally intended to use the usual form of address, but then suddenly remembered that the other person was now a mentor, so she switched to a more formal form of address.
"Oh dear, there's no need for that. We've known each other for ages, and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable with how you address me. Besides, we've kissed, touched, and hugged each other, so is it necessary to be so formal?"
The secretary blushed immediately upon hearing this.
"That was just an accident."
Hisako recalled that time in Linyi when she made a medicinal wine to break through her own limitations. It wasn't for personal gain; it was the kind of wine that people who like to drink would not harm their bodies much after drinking it. On the contrary, it could even help regulate their bodies.
Unexpectedly, the effects of the drink were so strong that she did some foolish things, even throwing herself at him. He didn't hold back, hugging and kissing her. These memories returned after she woke up. Thankfully, her young mistress appeared and stopped the absurd scene; otherwise, she would definitely be incomplete now, which is why she has to avoid Lin Qi ever since.
After all, Hisako is now subconsciously shy whenever she sees Lin Qi and doesn't dare to look at him.
You know, it's so embarrassing to think about what happened that day every time I think of Lin Qi.
But the other person said it at that very moment, making her feel like she wanted to crawl into a hole.
"Hisako, what are you shy about? Your young lady isn't shy about this kind of thing. I didn't expect you to be so thin-skinned."
Hisako suppressed her shyness upon hearing the words about her young mistress and instead spoke with a surprised tone.
"How could that be? Your young lady doesn't even understand romance and has to read comics."
Hisako said, "Don't lie to me. I've served my young lady for so long, I definitely know her situation very well."
"I know what you're thinking, but I have no reason to lie to you."
"People always improve. Can't your young lady improve a little too?"
After hearing this, Hisako thought about it and realized that it really made sense. It seems that the young lady of this family has really made progress.
"So don't be shy, come and let me hug you. It's been so long since I've held you in my arms, all sweet and soft."
Upon hearing this, Hisako instinctively took a step back, as if a big bad wolf was in front of her.
"Qi Jun, please be serious. You are still working right now."
The other person's serious nature kicked in again. Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll come find you to play tonight, January 4th."
As soon as Lin Qi said this, the other party was immediately unsettled. After all, the combination of these words that came to him to play games last night, especially coming from Lin Qi's mouth, did not seem like a good word.
"No, no, please allow me to refuse. I have a similar assignment tomorrow, so please don't bother me during this time."
Hisako said that her talents were quite ordinary, so she had to give it her all when faced with this kind of test. As for other things, it was better not to mess around at this time.
Hearing the other person's words and seeing their serious expression, Lin Qi knew they were serious. He felt a little disappointed, but leaving without taking advantage wasn't his style.

Chapter 359 Just a tool
"So, if it doesn't work in these 5 days, it will work later."
Lin Qi had mastered the old rogue's tricks to perfection, and the other party blushed deeply upon hearing this. In the end, he successfully drove Lin Qi away, but he also agreed to a few small conditions.
Did it stop? It continued hanging up, since it ended soon after. They let these people take over some and continue leading the team.
As usual, Lin Qi let these people continue to work freely, but instead of slacking off, they all looked very serious.
During this process, he took out his phone and started scrolling through it, since he was a little bored, and the most boring thing is waiting.
He could only move around after the assessment was over. This time, he wasn't as harsh; he only eliminated about 10 people.
After all, this time it's already quite light; according to yesterday's standard, at least 30 people would have to walk.
The main reason is that the person next door is much stricter than me.
After all, all I could hear was the sound of elimination, elimination, elimination. I knew who it was without even guessing. Then, I suddenly remembered something and curiously peeked out from the doorway, with someone accompanying me.
"Dojima-san, what are you doing here peeking?"
"19 This is just routine patrol, checking out the surrounding area."
"Where is Lord Lynch? I'm surprised you've come all this way to check on things."
Dojima Ginzai was surprised that the other party was acting like they were just there to watch the show; this didn't fit their usual style.
"Tadokoro Megumi, I want to poach him first, then find another opportunity!"
Dojima Gin was somewhat surprised to hear this. They actually wanted to poach him, which meant the other party had quite a bit of potential.
"Shinomiya Kojiro, Kaguya asked me to look after him, and as far as I know, there's going to be some fun stuff coming up."
Dojima Gin was stunned when he heard this. What fun?
“Tadokoro Megumi and the others are definitely going to be eliminated. After all, he used cauliflower that this lousy guy deliberately put in oxidized cauliflower and changed the recipe himself. He’s bound to be eliminated. Wait, can you cooperate with me?”
"I'll keep one student for you, and I'll also do Kaguya a favor by helping this guy who's been stuck and unable to improve break through his mental block."
Dojima Gin was a little confused after hearing this, but he still cooperated, since he found it quite interesting. As for Shinomiya Kojiro's situation, he knew about it and was thinking about whether he could help him. Now that Lin Qi had made his move, things were looking good.
"Don't worry, I'll cooperate."
As expected, the dish that Tadokoro Megumi served was immediately told that it was not up to standard, which left the girl dumbfounded, but she still asked questions unwillingly.
The conclusion reached was that she changed the recipe.
Tadokoro Megumi never expected to receive this answer. The problem was that the reason she changed the recipe was because the cauliflower had oxidized, so there was nothing she could do about it.
Just as she was feeling lost and wanted to find a way out, Lin Qi came to her side and put his arm around her shoulder.
"The reason this is happening is because you deliberately mixed some in."
"Chef Shinomiya".
Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kojiro felt someone put their hand on his shoulder, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. He then turned to look at Lin Qi, who was smiling and had his hand on his shoulder.
For a moment, Shinomiya Kojiro was a little unsure what the other party wanted to do.
"So what can I do for you, Mr. Lynch?"
"You should know that I did this specifically to control the number of qualified chefs. After all, there's no need for chefs who lack discernment, and the same goes for those who are slow."
"I don't disagree with your point about lacking discernment, but being a little slow is something you can practice."
"Isn't it a shame to eliminate such a talented person over something so trivial?"
Kojiro Shinomiya found this interesting.
"According to you, this person who is dragging the team down is talented, but I can't see it at all."
"How about we have a competition? Don't these people have a kind of food battle called Food Wars?"
"She'll have a go with you."
"I'll help her out."
Lin Qi spoke with a smile, and the other person was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then immediately switched into chef mode, looking at the smiling Lin Qi in front of him.
"Mr. Lynch, do you know what you're saying?"
"And why should I compete in this match?"
Lin Qi was not surprised by the other party's refusal. Instead, he continued to act nonchalantly and spoke with a smile.
“I’ll pay the bet. If you win, it’s up to you how much you learn to cook a dish, but you definitely won’t lose out.”
"If this silly girl wins, let's rescind the expulsion order."
Kojiro Shinomiya was surprised by the arrogance of the other party, who even said he would teach him how to cook a dish and let him learn as many things as he wanted, and even guaranteed that he would not let the other party down. Who did the other party think he was? Just then, Gin Dojima walked in.
"Wow, I never expected to see something so interesting."
"It's truly enviable that Lord Lynch is willing to mentor others."
Dojima Gin wasn't joking. Lin Qi had helped him last time, and he knew very well that his cooking skills had improved, so it was truly something to be envied.
Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kojiro narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and agreed, after all, he wanted to see what the other party was up to.
And so, an informal food battle was formed.
Actually, Lin Qi could have followed the plot, but he did it this way just to make Kaguya owe him a big favor. After all, she asked him for a favor, and he did such a big favor, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to receive more reward, right?
As for the instruction, it only takes a few hours; Shinomiya Kojiro is just a tool for him to play with Kaguya.
After confirming the details, the other person followed him out.
"Professor Lin, why? Why are you helping me like this?"
Tadokoro Megumi never expected that the other party would help her, and more importantly, would even pay the price for her.
"Hmm... just think of it as me not wanting to make the cute girl sad."
Lin Qi made up a reason on the spot. After all, he couldn't possibly say that he would make you feel guilty and owe him a favor, and then, knowing your personality, he would kidnap you, right?
Tadokoro Megumi blushed even more upon hearing such an absurd answer.
"I...I'm not cute at all."
Lin Qi looked at the other person's expression and thought, "Don't you want me to bully you even more? Really!" But he still held back.
"Alright, alright, stop thinking about that. If you want to repay me, we can talk about it later. There's a match tonight, so get ready. I'm just your assistant, understand? I won't interfere with anything you do."
Upon hearing this, Tadokoro Megumi immediately became nervous.
"The timing isn't set yet, but you should adjust your mindset. After all, you know exactly how you feel."
It was only then that Tadokoro Megumi remembered that she had to compete against this graduate.
At that time, I gradually entered a dazed state, and it seemed that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier as time went by. The time was very clear, and the other person was thinking more and more, to put it bluntly, they were having wild thoughts.
At this moment, Lin Qi reached out and gently pressed the other person's head. Then, he used a little of his ability to influence the other person's emotions and calm them down.
"Don't be nervous, don't feel pressured. Just treat it as a challenge to yourself, or as bringing out your best cooking skills. And don't forget that I'll be there to help you."
"Have you forgotten who I am? Have you forgotten what Chef Dojima said? So with my help, you may not be any worse than them. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After hearing this, Tadokoro Megumi realized that her teammates had someone supporting them. And the opponent seemed to be a very, very skilled player, so she didn't need to feel so much pressure.

Chapter 360 How can you say no?
"Do you remember how old you were when you finished a money-making task by yourself? I remember watching you do it by yourself when you were little. You were so confident and attractive back then, so be more confident."
Tadokoro Megumi was stunned when she heard this.
"Professor Lin, do you still remember what happened back then?"
"Of course, after all, it was a little girl who performed this crane show. To be honest, I'm thinking of whether I should trick her into marrying him."
