Chapter 72 Did I write my perverted nature on my face?
"That's right." Lin Xiu nodded, her expression calm and composed.
"When I was in school, I especially loved your novels. I read almost every one of them several times," Akiko Hanai said with emotion, then lowered her head and continued reading.
The more she looked, the more stiff her face became, and the surprise in her eyes gradually turned into shock.
Finally, he froze on the spot, his lips trembling slightly, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
After a long silence, she murmured the titles aloud, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Director of Microsoft, Director of Banana Company, Director of Amazon Company..."
He holds more than a dozen board positions, all from top-ranked American corporations, each carrying significant weight.
"How is this possible..."
Hanai Akiko subconsciously reached out and touched the gold lettering on the business card; the tactile sensation was undeniably real.
"If all of this is true, then your assets..."
"To be honest, I don't think I have any money left."
Lin Xiuyi smiled nonchalantly, his tone as relaxed as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"It's nothing really, just good luck. All the companies I invested in back then have developed smoothly."
This is no ordinary stroke of luck!
Hanai Akiko stood frozen in place, her expression a complex mix that defied description.
Even if the Seven Lucky Gods themselves descended to earth, they probably wouldn't have such incredible luck to accurately invest in so many world-class corporations!
Looking at Lin Xiuyi's calm and composed demeanor, she finally realized how ridiculous her earlier doubts had been.
Judy, standing to the side, was also speechless, recalling the scene when the FBI investigated Lin Xiuyi.
When investigators compiled his asset list, everyone at FBI headquarters was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.
No one expected that an Asian could gain a foothold in a white-dominated United States and accumulate such enormous wealth.
When the FBI first suspected Sharon's identity, they originally planned to immediately summon Lin Xiuyi for questioning. However, because of his astonishing wealth, all actions against him had to be urgently halted.
Although Lin Xiuyi was of Asian descent, with such wealth and influence, he was already a true "master" of America.
In the end, the FBI is nothing more than an employee working for these "masters," and they dare not provoke them easily.
"So, Miss Hanai, do you have an answer to my suggestion now?" Lin Xiuyi asked with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, I agree!" Hanai Akiko nodded decisively almost without hesitation.
Although she still had a slight doubt about the authenticity of the business card, it was a minor matter, and there would be plenty of time to verify it later.
The most crucial thing now is that we absolutely cannot miss this opportunity to avenge our parents and brother.
This is the only obsession that has kept her going until now.
"That's good." Lin Xiu nodded, her tone relieved. "Go to Wu Ju's place to complete your resignation procedures first, and call me again after everything is settled."
"Yes!" Hanai Akiko bowed respectfully, her posture upright, clearly having subconsciously regarded Hayashi Shuichi as her boss.
However, after responding, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes flickered uncertainly.
"What, is there something else?" Lin Xiuyi looked up at her in surprise.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask one last question?"
Hanai Akiko bit her red lips, hesitated for a long while, and then mustered up the courage to raise her head.
Why are you helping me?
The woman took a deep breath and asked with difficulty,
"If it's for..."
As she finished speaking, she instinctively reached out and hugged her chest, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.
The meaning of this gesture couldn't be clearer: she was asking if Lin Xiuyi was interested in her body and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip for her revenge.
"...I'm sorry, I cannot agree to that!"
Hanai Akiko suddenly raised her head, her tone tinged with stubbornness.
"Although I desperately want to avenge my father, I will never sell my body or dignity for it!"
"Well……"
Lin Xiu was speechless for a moment, and several black lines appeared on her forehead.
Although he admits to being a womanizer, does he really have to wear the word "pervert" on his face?
Why did she immediately make that connection?
Lin Xiuyi pointed helplessly to Judy, who was still picking up the broken glass, and said with a hint of teasing, "Miss Hanai, how do you think your figure and appearance compare to hers?"
"this……"
Hanai Akiko subconsciously looked at Jodie and scrutinized her carefully.
Judy has dazzling blonde hair, deep and three-dimensional features, and a curvaceous figure, making her a typical Western beauty.
She paused, then said sincerely, "In terms of appearance, we're about the same, each with our own strengths. As for figure..."
The woman's gaze moved downwards, landing on Judy's voluptuous curves and slender waist. She then looked down at her own rather thin frame, her expression instantly dimming.
"...I am far inferior to her."
Lin Xiuyi didn't say another word, but Hanai Akiko instantly understood what he meant.
If he were truly lustful, Judy's presence would be enough; there would be no need for him to set his sights on her.
Although she felt somewhat resentful that her new boss felt inferior to this blonde American woman, the woman instantly felt much more relaxed upon learning that she didn't have to use her body as a price.
It's not surprising that she was so vigilant.
After her parents and younger brother committed suicide, Hanai Akiko was left all alone and destitute. She relied on student loans to finish university and then carefully infiltrated her enemy's company, climbing step by step from the bottom to the position of secretary, experiencing countless hardships along the way.
Without this keen vigilance and firm bottom line, she would probably have perished halfway through her journey and never had the chance to seek revenge.
Lin Xiuyi was attracted to her precisely because of this.
They possess outstanding abilities, along with sufficient vigilance and principles, making them reliable and trustworthy.
His eagerness to find a new secretary was primarily for the purpose of collaborating with Tomoko Suzuki later.
Although Judy is an FBI elite with excellent skills and investigative abilities, she is completely clueless in professional fields such as business management and corporate administration.
The collaboration with Tomoko Suzuki is of great importance, and it is essential to find someone with outstanding professional skills to assist me. Akiko Hanai is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Akiko Hanai bowed respectfully once more, and left the counseling room with mixed feelings...
