Shen Corporation's CBD building.
A flashy green sports car was parked outside the entrance.
A ridiculously handsome man stepped out of the car.
"Sir, you can't park here..."
A security guard approached him.
Upon seeing Xu Mo,
the guard's voice abruptly stopped.
"Can't what?"
Xu Mo genuinely didn't catch what the guard said.
"Ah! It's Director Xu! Never mind, the rules don't apply to you."
The guard spoke honestly.
Whether parking was allowed outside depended on the person.
For anyone else, it would be a problem.
But not for Xu Mo.
Xu Mo scratched his head, finally realizing what the guard meant.
The guard was trying to say no parking, right?
Xu Mo understood the difficulties of others' jobs.
So he tossed the car keys to the guard.
"Ahem... I have urgent business with Director Shen. Can you help me move the car?"
Security personnel at major corporations
are expected to have a range of skills.
At least a few of them.
Helping with parking was one of them.
So Xu Mo wasn't too worried.
"Director Xu, this car is too expensive."
"If it gets damaged, it's on me."
Xu Mo left those words without looking back.
He truly meant it.
After all, his family had plenty of money.
The spoiled son of a wealthy family.
What he lacked least was money.
If he didn't spend it now, it would all be the protagonist's sooner or later.
The security guard looked at the car keys in his hand, feeling like they were burning hot.
Xu Mo could say that,
but he dared not act on it!!!!
Entering the Shen Corporation building,
if possible,
Xu Mo really didn't want to come in.
Sigh... what could he do?
He was already here.
"Wait, isn't that Director Xu? Didn't they say he and Director Shen had a falling out?"
"Director Xu is such a great guy. If it were me, I would have said yes long ago."
"Wake up! A man this handsome and rich isn't someone you're destined to have in this lifetime!"
"Is he here to see Director Shen? Did they make up?"
"OMG, OMG, OMG--------- Don't you guys think Director Xu has gotten even more handsome?"
"Haha... we're not blind, what do you think?"
Wherever Xu Mo went,
the employees buzzed with gossip.
For the first time, Xu Mo felt that being too handsome was also a burden.
He could have relied on his looks to get by.
But no, he had to rely on his dad.
Sigh... enough said, what bad luck.
In a luxurious office,
Shen Cheng had been having back pain lately.
Because his wife, Mrs. Shen, wasn't acting like a proper woman.
At home, she was busy persuading their daughter on one hand,
while on the other, she was urging Old Shen to find Xu Mo.
Saying that the Shen family agreed to the marriage proposal!
Shen Cheng couldn't bring himself to do it!!!!
He used to see Xu Mo as a cash cow,
happily milking the Xu family for all they were worth.
As for his daughter Shen Manni's looks,
Shen Cheng was quite confident!
It wasn't that Old Shen loved milking others for money.
Milking was a small matter.
The real deal was forming a connection with the Xu family!
But what could they do if their daughter wasn't willing?
They couldn't hold a knife to her neck, could they?
"Think of a way, think of a way... what way? I can't think of anything."
"I told your daughter not to play with fire, and now he's gone and doesn't care anymore."
"Now you two are happy, aren't you?"
"What's the point of me meddling?"
Shen Cheng rubbed his lower back, realizing he probably couldn't go home tonight.
He'd have to find a place to stay outside.
Knock knock knock-------
"Come in!"
A female secretary entered.
"What is it?"
Shen Cheng straightened up, not wanting to lose face.
The secretary said, "Director Shen, you once told me that if Director Xu ever came here, I should drop everything and report to you immediately."
"Director Xu? Which Director Xu?"
There were many Directors Xu.
Shen Cheng couldn't remember them all.
The secretary tilted her head slightly, "Xu Mo, Director Xu."
Boom!!!!
Shen Cheng immediately stood up!
What Director Xu? That's my future son-in-law!
Wow!
He was genuinely impressed!
"Is he here to see Manni?"
Shen Cheng asked excitedly.
The secretary shook her head with a wry smile, "I don't know. I'm just a lowly secretary. How would I know that much?"
"But Director Xu seems to be heading toward Director Shen's office."
Clap-----------
Shen Cheng slapped his hands together. It was settled!
"Good! Good! Good!"
If Xu Mo was here, he wasn't here to see him, was he?
Good job, kid! You've learned to play hard to get.
Shen Cheng didn't bother with tactics now.
In the face of absolute strength,
all tricks were just flashy nonsense.
Best if he could seal the deal with his daughter.
Shen Cheng shamelessly thought.
Even if Xu Mo turned cold later, it would be fine.
Once the grandchild was born,
he didn't believe Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting could just ignore it.
After all, it was Xu family blood.
The Xu family still had reasonable people.
"Go and call some security. Until Xu Mo leaves my daughter's office, no one is allowed near."
"Not even a fly gets in!"
Shen Cheng ordered.
The secretary replied, "Yes!"
After the secretary left,
Shen Cheng's face lit up with a radiant smile.
"(*^▽^*)... Hehe, daughter, your dad can only help you this much."
"The rest is up to you."
What father wouldn't understand their own child's heart?
During the days Xu Mo hadn't come to see Shen Manni,
Shen Manni had been out of sorts.
Even during meals at home, she would space out.
This had never happened before.
Perhaps it was the Shen family's excellent genes at work.
What you can't have always stirs desire, while what you take for granted is carefree.
Meanwhile,
on the other side of the story.
"You're here?"
Shen Manni said, her face still slightly flushed.
"Should I leave then?"
Xu Mo asked tentatively.
[What is this foolish woman up to now?]
[Shouldn't you be happy now that the simp is gone?]
Shen Manni looked at Xu Mo, momentarily lost in thought.
Why hadn't she noticed how handsome and charismatic he was
when he was pursuing her before?
Was it her imagination?
Or was it the inevitable contrast between the present and the past?
Present (ugly)
Becomes past (gorgeous—handsome beyond belief)
"Would you like some tea?"
"I don't want anything."
"Oh, then have some."
"Ahem... Shen Manni, this is pointless, really pointless."
Xu Mo tried to stay calm, but inside he was panicking.
This foolish woman was downright evil.
What on earth did she want?
Shen Manni carefully prepared tea for Xu Mo.
The more she acted out of character,
the more anxious Xu Mo became.
The female lead's personality was collapsing in the story.
What should he do?
Help needed, urgent!!!!
Xu Mo appeared composed on the surface, but inside he was a nervous wreck.
Shen Manni, hearing his inner thoughts again,
felt a bit of joy.
Had she awakened some new trait?
Also, she was still working on it.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
