Uncle Chen was furious, and now that Chen Hai had nowhere to stay, Ye Shuang definitely had to help.
Even though Ye Shuang currently had quite a few properties on hand, they were actually all under Chen Qin's control. If Ye Shuang asked for one, it wouldn't be a problem, but since it was for Chen Hai to stay in, given Chen Qin's personality, she might give Chen Hai a hard time.
"Damn, this is so annoying. Now I've got no money and no place to stay."
Chen Hai said irritably on the other end of the phone, clearly in a terrible mood. "I've thought it through—I'm gonna find a street corner, get drunk, squat there, and see if some cute JK girl picks me up and takes me in, and then live a naughty, blush-worthy life."
Ye Shuang: "..."
Your imagination is a bit wild.
"Alright, I'll transfer you some money. You can stay at a hotel for the time being," Ye Shuang said.
"Fine." Chen Hai had originally thought Ye Shuang would let him come stay with him, but a hotel was fine too—at least he wouldn't have to hear the bed creaking from Ye Shuang's room in the middle of the night.
After all, living with that many girls, Chen Hai figured Ye Shuang's lifestyle must be pretty debauched.
Girls with slim waists and long legs, plus a busty bestie on top of that.
Ye Shuang, of course, had no idea what Chen Hai was thinking. He directly transferred two hundred thousand over—that should be enough for him to stay at a hotel for a while.
"Put it on the tab. I'll pay you back once my funds get unlocked, bro." After receiving the money, Chen Hai also sent Ye Shuang a reply.
He wasn't actually broke; it was just that Feng Shan had a grip on his money.
Ye Shuang only replied with one line:
Remember you've got work today.
Chen Hai: OK.
After chatting with Chen Hai, Ye Shuang glanced at the time—it was just about time for work. He looked at the girl beside him.
"Yuyou, since you're on break, just stay home with Yezi."
"Okay." Bai Yuyou nodded.
Ye Shuang picked up his car keys and smiled slightly. "I'm heading out."
But the very next second, the corner of his clothes was tugged. Ye Shuang turned around and saw Bai Yuyou standing right in front of him. "Before you go, a kiss to recharge my energy."
"Shouldn't recharging energy be a hug?" Ye Shuang asked.
Bai Yuyou looked at Ye Shuang, her gaze drifting for a few seconds before she said,
"(。•ω•。) Inflation."
"It won't be just kisses anymore in the future."
Ye Shuang seemed to catch the hidden meaning in Bai Yuyou's words, but then he thought about how old he'd be by the time the girl graduated—can a thirty-year-old me really handle all these succubi?
Whatever, he'd worry about that later.
Ye Shuang pulled Bai Yuyou over, planted a kiss on her soft lips, and then ruffled her hair. "Alright, be good at home. Or you can go out and hang with Keke if you want. I need to head to work."
Bai Yuyou lowered her chin, which had been raised a moment ago, looking a bit reluctant. "Mm, safe travels."
"Mm."
Ye Shuang went to the garage and drove straight to the company.
"Good morning, President Ye. Is your cold better?" Kou Kou asked when she saw Ye Shuang, since he hadn't come in yesterday and had said he wasn't feeling well with a cold.
"After resting for a night, I'm fine." Ye Shuang sat down and glanced at the two computers beside him. "Those two didn't come in today?"
"No, Anshi Yi and the others are in the lounge area," Kou Kou said.
"What are they doing there?"
"They said the lounge area doesn't have enough equipment and that it should have a five-person esports desk added," Kou Kou continued.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Are you here to work or to play games?
Well, whatever. Ye Shuang didn't dwell on it—those two fishes could do whatever they wanted as long as they were working. The more capable an employee, the more lenient the boss was. In some small companies, even a top salesperson could yell at the boss's face.
"President Ye, these are the planning sheets and reports for several projects."
"Mm."
While Ye Shuang was reviewing them, he added, "Kou Kou, you're actually pretty capable. Have you ever thought about doing something else?"
"P-President Ye?!" Kou Kou froze, then visibly started panicking. "Is it because I've been slacking off at work lately?"
"No, I admire your dedicated attitude. The group recently acquired a few companies, and I was thinking of sending you there to gain some experience," Ye Shuang continued.
"I see... President Ye, I'd still prefer to stay by your side, so I can keep learning things," Kou Kou said, letting out a sigh of relief but still insisting.
"That's fine too, since that's how you feel."
Ye Shuang didn't push it. Just then, the two fishes came back, carrying bags and bundles of stuff.
"Yo." Anshi Yi greeted Ye Shuang when she saw him.
"What's all that in the bags? That's a lot," Ye Shuang asked.
"Snacks. I'm planning to turn this area into a snack zone, so it's easier to grab drinks and snacks," Anshi Yi said. "Like it?"
Ye Shuang said expressionlessly, "What do you think?"
"Overjoyed?"
"Overjoyed indeed... as if. This office belongs to Chen Qin. You two really aren't afraid of death, messing around like this," Ye Shuang said.
"It was all Xiaoyi's idea. Nothing to do with me." An Shiyu made a vacant dot-eyed expression.
An Shiyu passed the blame, and the spotlight fell entirely on Anshi Yi.
"It's just a few snacks," Anshi Yi said.
Ye Shuang pointed at the PS console in the corner. "A few snacks here."
Then pointed at the NS game console next to it.
"A few snacks here."
And then the pot in the corner.
"A few snacks here."
"Are you planning to do a full renovation of this place?" Ye Shuang said.
"Tsk, we'll help fix it up later. We've been working hard with you without getting paid, what's wrong with eating and drinking a little?" Anshi Yi crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.
"How could you not have a salary?" Ye Shuang was speechless.
"That's right, I haven't seen a single cent since I started." Anshi Yi quickly said, "Being used for free."
"Impossible. Money is sent every month, and sometimes I even add extra for An Shiyu so the two of you can split it." Just as Ye Shuang finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, and his gaze landed on An Shiyu.
At that moment, An Shiyu felt the eyes of both Ye Shuang and Anshi Yi on her and immediately put on a straight face. "Oh right, I forgot. Yeah, seems like that's the case."
"Oi, you—did you secretly pocket my salary?!" Anshi Yi glared at An Shiyu, since she never knew she had a salary in the first place—she'd just come to hang out.
"Maybe, perhaps, possibly." An Shiyu said while pulling out her phone to check, then spoke in a flat, monotone reading voice,
"Oh, would you look at that, money did come in. I thought my salary got doubled. Too bad, forgive me?"
"ZING—" Anshi Yi immediately whipped out a shiny kunai.
"What are you doing?" An Shiyu asked.
"What do you think?"
The next second, the entire office turned into a chaotic, chicken-flying-dog-jumping mess.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
