The girl wearing a small suit jumped out of the car.
It is worth mentioning that even the suit she was wearing was a peculiar style with a yellow base and black stripes.
It didn't look bad on her, but it was... a little strange.
She gave off the impression of a capable beautiful girl with a slightly eccentric personality.
"Unnamed Senior..."
As if feeling the piercing gaze from beside him again, Lin Wuming frowned tightly: "I really don't recognize this..."
"This is Yun Chuan Ju Ya, the bookkeeping maid you hired—I was originally going to remind you," Shokuhou Misaki said helplessly.
"...If she were wearing a maid outfit, I'd definitely recognize her!" Lin Wuming muttered softly.
Yun Chuan Ju Ya sighed: "It's okay, I know there's quite a difference between my current appearance and my usual one. Plus, my own Boss is a hands-off manager, so it's not strange that you didn't recognize me."
Although a bit awkward, since the other party was after all his hired "subordinate," Lin Wuming had no choice but to step forward and ask.
"Long time no see, Yun Chuan, what do you need me for so suddenly?"
"Please, I'm currently managing all your assets," Yun Chuan Ju Ya said, "Even for the sake of those tens of billions of yen, could you please pay a little attention to the foundation's operations?"
To be honest, after receiving the first "Ten Billion Subsidy," Lin Wuming had already become indifferent to money. After several more large injections of funds into the foundation, completely solving the living expenses for the Misaka Sisters, Lin Wuming never bothered with things over there again.
Normally, it was all managed by Yun Chuan Ju Ya, with Shokuhou Misaki occasionally checking the accounts at most.
Facts proved that Yun Chuan Ju Ya did a good job, living up to her name as an excellent student of Liaoluan Housekeeping Girls' School, able to manage the employer's assets in an orderly manner and even achieve positive profitability—after deducting the daily needs of the Misaka Sisters.
Therefore, it was even less likely for anyone to care about small matters like Yun Chuan Ju Ya giving herself a sky-high salary and equipping herself with her favorite exclusive vehicle.
"Do you think I like this?" Yun Chuan Ju Ya pointed at the "Bumblebee" behind her, "Okay, I do quite like it, but that's not the point!"
"I'm still just a middle school student, and I have to manage so many companies under the foundation. If I don't suppress them with my presence, do you think those adults will listen?" Yun Chuan Ju Ya complained, "I'm an athletic beautiful girl, do you think I would like this tight little suit?"
"Uh... You've worked hard, Miss Yun Chuan!" Lin Wuming also felt a bit guilty.
Forcing a middle school girl into a career woman...
"Alright, I see you're quite happy doing it anyway, aren't you?" Shokuhou Misaki interrupted her complaints and said unceremoniously, "So stop complaining, everyone is just getting what they need."
Yun Chuan Ju Ya glanced at Shokuhou Misaki with some apprehension, and indeed, she stopped complaining.
Unlike her older sister Yun Chuanqin Ya, Yun Chuan Ju Ya was still very wary of "Mental Out."
Lin Wuming asked again: "So why did you suddenly come to find me? Is there a problem with the foundation? Are we out of money?"
Yun Chuan Ju Ya shook her head: "No, the foundation and its various industries are operating normally, no need to worry."
"I just heard that the Boss was injured and hospitalized, so I came to visit..."
Before she finished speaking, Yun Chuan Ju Ya noticed the looks from the people opposite her, all expressing "I don't believe this nonsense."
"Alright, that was just an excuse," Yun Chuan Ju Ya shrugged.
After all, Lin Wuming being hospitalized for treatment wasn't a one or two time thing, and she had never come to visit before. And even now, she said she was visiting the sick, but she didn't even buy a bunch of flowers, which was truly insincere.
Yun Chuan Ju Ya no longer concealed anything—anyway, "Mental Out" was present, so there was no point in trying to hide.
"Actually, it's because I heard a certain rumor and wanted to confirm it directly with the Boss," Yun Chuan Ju Ya said, "It's said that during the battle to subdue the invaders yesterday, the Boss... used Magic?"
Yun Chuan Ju Ya's eyes were fixed on him, sparkling with intensity: "Senior Lin Wuming, does Magic—really exist?"
For ordinary people—even for someone like Yun Chuan Ju Ya who was already qualified to access many confidential matters, "Magic" was still an undisclosed secret.
According to Academy City's usual explanation, what is called "Magic" is merely "Superpowers of other systems."
The main reason Yun Chuan Ju Ya suddenly started paying attention to matters related to "Magic" and thought of seeking answers from Lin Wuming was that someone she cared about seemed to be coming into contact with a special power called "Magic."
And after thinking it over, Yun Chuan Ju Ya realized that the only person who could provide her with accurate information about "Magic" was Lin Wuming.
That's why she specifically came to ask.
Just now, Shokuhou Misaki exposed Yun Chuan Ju Ya's claim that both sides were "getting what they needed." In fact, Shokuhou Misaki wasn't bullying her; she was telling the truth.
At the foundation, Yun Chuan Ju Ya could be said to be Lin Wuming's plenipotentiary representative, indirectly possessing all the conveniences and authority of a "Nameless Board Member."
Therefore, many things that couldn't be investigated before, and for which there were no channels, could now be investigated with the help of Lin Wuming's influence.
Thanks to this, Yun Chuan Ju Ya finally found the whereabouts of the person she cared about...
"Magic does exist," Lin Wuming didn't hide it, "Your older sister knows about this too."
"I asked her, but she absolutely refused to give a clear answer," Yun Chuan Ju Ya said, "She's always being so mysterious, it's unbearable."
"So, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Lin Wuming asked back.
"It's nothing..." Yun Chuan Ju Ya blurted out, but upon meeting Shokuhou Misaki's gaze, she reluctantly added, "Because someone I care about seems to be coming into contact with Magic, so I'm a bit concerned..."
As for anything more, Yun Chuan Ju Ya didn't reveal it, but instead quickly said goodbye and left.
She was very worried about Shokuhou Misaki seeing more...
After the "Bumblebee" sedan drove a distance, it suddenly reversed back in front of Lin Wuming and the others.
Yun Chuan Ju Ya rolled down the window: "I almost forgot, I need to take leave... I have things at School for a while, so I can't put all my energy into the foundation like before."
"No need to worry, I'll send someone to help manage things for a while," Without waiting for Lin Wuming to respond, Shokuhou Misaki proactively said.
"Also," Yun Chuan Ju Ya turned to look at Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, "Misaka Student, Shirai, you two should start preparing too. You can't keep being out all day like this anymore."
As if suddenly remembering something, Misaka Mikoto's face instantly fell, showing an expression of annoyance.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wuming asked, puzzled.
Yun Chuan Ju Ya, however, had no intention of explaining. After speaking, she said goodbye again and left in a hurry.
"The Summer Festival is starting the week after next," Shokuhou Misaki explained on her behalf.
