Chen Mo clenched his fists.
Lin Xuan!
How could Yueyue actually consider Lin Xuan her dream guy? Her idol!
It must be because of Lin Xuan that Yueyue didn't like him.
If something were to happen to Lin Xuan...
Thinking of this, Chen Mo clenched his fists tighter.
But... Lin Xuan was Boss Su's man, and the boss of the Tianmu Group. There was nothing he could do to him...
Student after student walked into the room.
Lin Xuan scribbled on each interviewee's resume with a pen.
The students waiting outside couldn't help but stop those coming out, asking, "Why hasn't Lin Xuan come out yet? What is he doing in there?"
"He is the interviewer," a student who had finished the interview replied.
"The interviewer? Are you sure?" a student asked skeptically.
Lin Xuan, a Computer Science student, running interviews for a tech hardware project?
"Yes, I'm sure he's the interviewer. He conducted my entire interview."
After saying that, he kindly added a warning, "The questions Lin Xuan asks are extremely sharp and difficult to answer. You'd better be prepared."
The interviewed student frowned deeply.
There was one thing he really couldn't figure out.
Lin Xuan was clearly a Computer Science major, so why were his questions about hardware technology so professional?
Simply memorizing facts beforehand wouldn't allow someone to perform like that.
That left only one possibility: Lin Xuan's ability in this field was even greater than theirs, the actual majors.
He was starting to suspect Lin Xuan might be an all-rounder.
Lin Xuan could run a company, write novels, do programming, and now he was proficient in hardware technology. It was simply... terrifying.
The interviewing teacher walked out and announced, "Next, Number Fifteen, Chen Mo."
Chen Mo stepped forward.
"Come in with me," the teacher said.
Chen Mo walked inside.
As soon as he saw Lin Xuan, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly lowered his gaze to hide his emotions.
Although he was disdainful of Lin Xuan, he had to perform well this time to stay in the project with Yueyue.
That way, he would have more opportunities to spend time with Yueyue in the future.
Lin Xuan looked at Chen Mo's resume in his hand.
"Chen Mo, right?"
Lin Xuan nodded. "Your credentials are impressive."
Judging solely by the resumes, Chen Mo was arguably the most outstanding student he had interviewed today.
"Thank you," Chen Mo nodded.
"I'm going to ask you three questions. For each question, I will give you one minute to think. After one minute, you can answer. Of course, you can also answer earlier," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay," Chen Mo agreed. "Go ahead."
Lin Xuan began asking his questions.
For each of Lin Xuan's inquiries, Chen Mo only thought for about thirty seconds before speaking with confidence and eloquence.
When he finished answering the second question, Lin Xuan drew an 'X' on his resume and set it aside.
"Alright, you can leave now," Lin Xuan said.
Chen Mo frowned. "Weren't there supposed to be three questions?"
He had only been asked two.
A professor sitting nearby explained, "If Student Lin doesn't see potential in a student, there is no third question. Some don't even get to answer the second one."
In other words, Chen Mo had been rejected.
"On what grounds?"
Chen Mo stood up abruptly. "I answered every question you asked. Lin Xuan, what right do you have to cut me?"
"On what grounds?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "On the grounds that I can see dissatisfaction with me in your eyes."
He wouldn't accept someone who couldn't stand him into his team.
Although these people couldn't actually do anything to him, it would be troublesome.
If they tried to sabotage him, he would have to deal with it.
He needed to avoid all avoidable trouble.
His main purpose in personally interviewing these students was to filter out people like Chen Mo.
Chen Mo retorted indignantly, "I'm not dissatisfied with you. Don't try to slander me."
"Alright then," Lin Xuan said. "Let's just say that I find you an eyesore and don't want you."
"Lin Xuan!" Chen Mo said coldly. "This is a university research project. It prioritizes the participants' abilities. You are abusing your power for a personal vendetta. Just because you don't like the look of me, you're rejecting me? Aren't you afraid the school will find out?"
Lin Xuan pointed at the two assisting teachers and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't the school teachers right here? Since I dare to say it to their faces, do you think I'm afraid?"
"You!"
Chen Mo clenched his fists.
He looked at the two teachers. "Teachers, Lin Xuan is recklessly abusing his authority. Is the administration not going to do anything about this?"
"Ahem." One of the teachers cleared his throat. "Student Chen, it's like this. This project was established by Student Lin, and he will be leading the students in research and development. The Principal's instruction is that the composition of the team is entirely up to Student Lin. He can choose whoever he wants!"
Chen Mo clenched his fists tight.
Lin Xuan actually held such power!
Lin Xuan leaned back in his office chair, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I know you're unconvinced and angry that I'm keeping you out of the project group just like this. But the school's biggest shareholder is my girlfriend, and I formed this team. The Principal won't interfere with any of my decisions. Even if you're not convinced, you'll just have to suck it up!"
Chen Mo squeezed his fists until his knuckles turned white.
The Principal agreeing to Lin Xuan's decision must be Boss Su's doing.
How could Lin Xuan be so lucky to gain Boss Su's favor!
"Next," Lin Xuan said indifferently.
A teacher walked over to Chen Mo, extended her hand, and said, "Student Chen, please leave."
Chen Mo gritted his teeth. "A Computer Science student leading a team to develop hardware? Do you really think I care about this?"
If it weren't for Yueyue, with his level of skill, he wouldn't even have considered entering this so-called project group.
Chen Mo flung his arm out and left.
He walked out of the interview room.
"Yueyue, what do you think happened in there? Why does he look so upset?" Chen Ting asked curiously.
Lin Jingyue just glanced over and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's just focus on preparing for our interviews."
There wasn't much time left.
She needed to prepare a bit more.
She didn't want to pay attention to anything else right now. As Chen Mo passed by Lin Jingyue, his footsteps paused for a moment.
He looked at Lin Jingyue with a gloomy expression.
If Yueyue was selected, wouldn't she have frequent opportunities to spend time with Lin Xuan?
No.
Chen Mo shook his head.
She might not necessarily be selected.
And even if she was, he wouldn't just sit by and let her spend time with Lin Xuan.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth and walked away.

transmigrates into the role of a villainous rich second-generation kid in an urban fantasy novel, and gets bound to a god-tier choice system. Right at the start, he catches the female lead stealing exam papers! This triggers the villain's choice options! [Choice 1: Pretend you didn't see anything] [Choice 2: Loudly call her out, drawing everyone's attention] [Choice 3: ...] And thus, a twisted villain is born. To avoid getting killed by the protagonist, he has no choice but to take down all the protagonists first. Jiang Che: Nobody understands being twisted better than me!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
