Night time.
After a busy day, Zhao Master returned to Chen Han's home, sitting on Chen Han's sofa drinking Chen Han's tea.
Huh, there's even some rhyming.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhao Yan looked up to see Chen Yurou with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a black dress with black stockings, kicking off her high heels as she walked into the living room.
"What's up, you look very happy, the smile on your face hasn't stopped." Zhao Yan looked curious, prying into the teacher's secret was exciting, wasn't it?
Chen Yurou sat down opposite him, somewhat belatedly touching her face, "Hmm~ Do I?"
"It's not that you do, it's like you've almost engraved the word 'happy' on your face." Zhao Yan rolled his eyes.
Returning home, Chen Yurou was completely different from the icy goddess at school. She was very silly.
Now Zhao Yan seriously suspected that the reason she kept a cold face at school all year round.
It was to cover up the fact that she was silly. By not interacting with people, no one would find out she was very silly.
Chen Yurou giggled, "Brother, tell me more about Zhao Yan, please. I beg you."
The reason she was so happy was because she was getting more and more familiar with Zhao Yan at school. Zhao Yan made her feel very safe, like an older brother.
"Don't tell me you..." Zhao Yan suddenly had an incredible suspicion, looking at her in disbelief.
Chen Yurou also understood, her face red as she covered her face with a pillow, "Brother, what are you thinking, how could I like a brat, I just...just want to get to know my student better, that's all."
As soon as she said this, it was like a thief crying "stop thief!".
Zhao Yan's heart shuddered violently. F*ck, Chen Yurou actually fell for him. Thank you Cousin Chen Han for helping me chase your little sister, thank you so much!
He couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. After all, which goddess wouldn't like Chen Yurou?
"Brother, what are you thinking? Your smile is so smug!" Chen Yurou said disgustedly looking at him.
Zhao Yan suppressed his smile and coughed twice, looking seriously at Chen Yurou, "Yurou, if you like Zhao Yan, brother will definitely support you. A high-quality man like Zhao Yan is rare. If you don't seize the opportunity, it’s easy for others to snatch him away."
As he said this, Zhao Yan sat up straight and solemnly exhorted, "Let me tell you, you must make an effort to pursue him. I only recognize him as my brother-in-law. Apart from him, no one else is good enough for you!"
Chen Yurou blushed and nodded.
"Oh right..." Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Yurou, "Why didn't I find any clothes or toiletries belonging to my sister-in-law in my room?"
If he had discovered these things earlier, he could have confirmed that Chen Han was married and naturally would not have been so unscrupulous about going to open a room with Xu Xue.
"Brother, are you confused?" Chen Yurou looked at Zhao Yan in surprise, "You argued with sister-in-law before, and sister-in-law was so angry that she moved back to her parents' home. You even flew over to apologize and ask her to come back, but she ignored you completely. Have you forgotten about this in just a few days?"
Zhao Yan: "............"
He thought Chen Han had sent his wife away on vacation again. He didn't expect her to leave in anger this time.
Being able to anger Chen Han, who had a strict wife, she must have been very angry. Now discovering Chen Han opening a room with Xu Xue, tsk tsk, he didn't dare imagine.
Cousin, wish you good luck.
As your brother-in-law, the most I can do is try my best not to continue making trouble with your body in these last few days.
............
Today was the day Changhong Trading and Binhai International held a contract signing ceremony for a 600 million project.
Changhong Trading sent out invitations, and even invited many local media reporters as witnesses.
After all, Changhong Trading hadn't been particularly prominent in Binhai before. Being able to win Binhai International's project this time by competing with Hanjiang Group counted as showing its face.
Of course it had to take this opportunity to make a name for itself.
Zhao Yan also received an invitation to observe the ceremony.
In fact, it wasn't just him. Hanjiang Group's senior management had all received invitations from Changhong Trading to observe.
This was because He Ming wanted to show off in front of these backstabbing old friends of his and regain his former glory.
Only then could he double his sense of accomplishment.
Hmm, his imagination was beautiful indeed.
After Hanjiang Group's senior management received the invitations, they did not act on their own, but asked Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan smilingly said, "Since they want to show off as the victors, let's go and give them some face. It is virtuous to help others, right?"
Although the senior management didn't know what wind Zhao Yan was up to, they could only follow along with him.
At 8:40, Zhao Yan arrived at the contract signing ceremony site with a group of Hanjiang Group's senior management.
The "grand" lineup attracted a lot of attention.
"Chairman Chen is here too. Changhong even invited Hanjiang's people? How tasteless!"
"Yes, the petty look of someone who just got lucky."
"Chairman Chen, didn't expect you to come too..."
Everyone talked among themselves. Many people took the initiative to greet Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan smiled back at everyone.
The reporters frantically took pictures of him. They all hoped there would be conflicts between Hanjiang and Changhong today.
That would make the news more interesting.
"Chairman Chen, from what I know, you already have a wife. May I ask how you explain being photographed entering and leaving a hotel with your secretary?"
A reporter asked rapidly.
Zhao Yan was very calm, chuckled and said, "I just made the same mistake every man would make."
The reporter was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Yan to be so candid, which made it difficult for him to pursue further questions. After all, which tycoon didn't keep a few mistresses?
Zhao Yan took his people to find their seats and sat down.
At 9 o'clock, the contract signing ceremony began.
The contract signing ceremony was not just about signing the contract. There were song and dance performances before the official start and after the end.
There was also an emcee to host the whole event.
In addition, a luncheon also had to be arranged.
Otherwise it would be too dull and boring.
After all, would people who were invited to arrive early just sit there the whole time? Watch a signing and then leave?
"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Changhong Trading's Chairman He Ming onto the stage," the host said loudly after finishing his opening remarks.
The audience subconsciously applauded.
But when they saw the not unfamiliar figure walking onto the stage, many people looked puzzled.
"Isn't that He Ming, Hanjiang's Chairman He?"
"Yes, how did he become Chairman of Changhong Trading? What exactly is going on here?"
"It looks like there's something fishy about this project..."
"Traitor! He must have done something shady. He actually still dares to invite us to show off!" The senior management of Hanjiang Group were all indignant.
The conference hall buzzed non-stop for a while, with people secretly glancing at Zhao Yan from time to time.
But Zhao Yan was indifferent, with no joy or sorrow, showing no expression, which was a bit disappointing.
Sensing these people's shock, He Ming's mouth involuntarily curled up. He felt extremely satisfied inside seeing his former colleagues' angry looks.
Hahaha, didn't expect it, did you? You really thought I, He Ming, could only survive in Hanjiang?
I've long been prepared. It's a pity you have no evidence of me betraying the company's interests.
No matter how angry you are, what can you do to me?
I just love seeing you hating me, yet unable to kill me.
He Ming's gaze fell on Zhao Yan. Seeing that Zhao Yan was expressionless, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. Still pretending to be calm? You're really tenacious.
A project you worked hard on for so long has fallen into my hands, yet you can only pretend that nothing happened. You must feel awful, but still have to maintain composure. How pitiful.
Hahahaha...
He Ming felt like he saw through everything.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
