A spacious conference room.
It was already full of people.
However, before Xu Mo arrived, even if everyone else was present,
No one dared to start the meeting without him!
Or even say a word against Xu Mo.
After all, Xu Mo was the most important person here.
"Mr. Xu, you're here."
"Good morning, Mr. Xu."
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
"..."
Various flattering greetings filled the air.
This was the advantage of being the villain - chauffeured everywhere, greeted with smiles.
Xu Mo nodded slightly, walked to the center position in the conference room - the power seat.
Then he sat down.
"You're here?"
The only voice that differed from the chorus of flattery, a woman's voice, rang out.
Xu Mo glanced at the woman sitting next to him, not angry at all, but instead smiled and replied, "Yes."
Upon seeing the woman, Xu Mo felt somewhat emotional.
That's why a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
The woman beside him was equal to the female lead Shen Manni in terms of figure, looks, and family background!
Because she was the first antagonist of this novel, yes a female one, the female villain Zhou Qiaoqiao!
Xu Mo glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao's makeup today - long curled eyelashes, bold vermilion lipstick, exquisite facial features, wearing an off-white OL suit, with long slender legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings below.
Her milky white skin looked deliciously voluptuous.
There was also a deeper relationship between the two - they were engaged!
This was because Xu Mo's mother, unwilling to let her son continue being a lovesick fool, had found a good family in Magic City!
Their family background was a notch above Shen Manni's.
Though of course, they couldn't compare to the Xu family.
The Zhou family naturally took this engagement very seriously, seeing it as a powerful alliance that would elevate both families.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had originally had some feelings for Xu Mo.
But Xu Mo repeatedly ignored her, this gorgeous fiancée,
Willingly running off to be Shen Manni's devoted pursuer, which made her lose a lot of face!
You should know that the title of Magic City's Number One Beauty used to belong to her, Zhou Qiaoqiao!
It was because of Xu Mo's puppy-like behavior that Shen Manni became the new Number One Beauty of Magic City.
After all, Xu Mo was the young master of the Xu family, the future heir to Xu Corporation.
Just imagine, when a national heartthrob pursues a woman, with the media hyping it up for traffic,
Even if the title didn't exist before, they could create it!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's body trembled slightly, her eyes looking at Xu Mo with some surprise.
You should know that usually Xu Mo was indifferent towards her!
Very calm and detached.
The engagement was in name only.
His heart was completely focused on that woman Shen Manni.
Smiling at her like this had never happened before!
This could be said to be the first time!
Xu Mo drew in a sharp breath, quickly realizing his expression was off, then immediately put on a stern face and said to everyone,
"Alright, let's officially start today's acquisition meeting! Li Ming, explain to everyone the reasons for the acquisition, how we plan to acquire, and the projected costs. Let me hear it too."
A middle-aged man stood up, smiling, "Yes, boss."
He was Xu Mo's investment department manager, a PhD graduate from Cambridge.
He took out the carefully prepared proposal and began explaining it to everyone in detail.
First the reasons, then the plan.
Everyone in the conference room listened attentively.
Except for Zhou Qiaoqiao and Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was because he already knew the plot, so he couldn't be bothered to listen.
While Zhou Qiaoqiao was still thinking about Xu Mo's smile earlier.
"Why did he smile at me just now?"
"And what was that flash of endless tenderness in his eyes all about?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Mo, finding that he was ignoring her again.
Finally, Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly in resignation.
Indeed, this man hadn't changed!
His heart only had room for Shen Manni, completely unable to accommodate a second woman!
Zhou Qiaoqiao had already decided that such a marriage wouldn't bring her the happiness she yearned for.
Therefore, she decided to propose a divorce to Xu Mo.
After all, she wasn't the only one with this idea.
Xu Mo probably wanted a divorce even more than she did!
The next moment, Zhou Qiaoqiao's expression changed slightly!
Because in the conference room, besides Li Ming's introduction,
She heard another voice!
[Damn! I almost gave myself away just now. Good thing I reacted quickly and had that idiot Li Ming talk about the acquisition plan, narrowly avoiding disaster]
[I really don't understand! What was that stupid author thinking, Zhou Qiaoqiao is such a great woman, yet he had to set it up so that I'm sick in the head, ignoring my charming fiancée to be a devoted pursuer of that ice queen]
[Zhou Qiaoqiao is a million times better than Shen Manni!]
Xu Mo couldn't help but start ranting in his mind.
Because he had seen an old acquaintance.
Although this was a character in a novel, the impression Zhou Qiaoqiao left on him during the last run-through of the plot was too deep!
He even knew things the hack author hadn't written.
Zhou Qiaoqiao and Shen Manni's initial reactions were identical, both completely bewildered!
The difference was, Zhou Qiaoqiao could immediately confirm that this voice came from Xu Mo!
Because Xu Mo's voice was too familiar to her.
She couldn't help but notice it even if she tried!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared intently at Xu Mo's lips.
Xu Mo wasn't speaking.
She quickly figured it out - she was hearing Xu Mo's thoughts!
Although it was unbelievable!
But the facts were right in front of her eyes.
She had no choice but to believe it!
"I have a great personality? I'm perfect? I'm a million times better than Shen Manni?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's heart surged like a tidal wave.
Her heart was shocked beyond belief.
This was Xu Mo's view of her?
That young master of the Xu family, that young master who had never looked at her properly before.
His evaluation of her in his heart was actually so high?
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt that this world was simply too crazy.
Hope rekindled, a flash of passion appeared in her eyes!
She had thought Xu Mo wasn't moved by her!
In fact, she had been mistaken.
It was all fake!
Xu Mo's inner thoughts were the truth.
[Shen Manni is sick today, that Crooked Mouth Dragon King is also sick, luckily my stunningly beautiful villain fiancée Qiaoqiao isn't sick, otherwise I'd really have nowhere to cry...]
[Eh?? Wait, Zhou Qiaoqiao why are you looking at me like that?]
[When I ignored you before, didn't you also not want to pay attention to me?]
[Why are you staring at me non-stop now?]
[No! Please, don't be like those two idiots, losing your mind!!!]
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?
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
