The habitual smile on Huo Shen's face nearly cracked.
Lin Xuan walked up to Huo Shen, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "President Huo, to be a decent human being, one must understand propriety and shame. You shouldn't just intervene in other people's relationships, don't you agree?"
"Yes."
Huo Shen took a deep breath and nodded.
"I heard that the woman you like already has a boyfriend. You should let go when it's time to let go. Love isn't something you can force. If you try to pull anything, you'll only be..." Lin Xuan curled his lips into a smile, "Digging your own grave."
Huo Shen's gaze was dark, and he didn't say a word.
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, checked the time, and looked a bit annoyed. "Look at that, I've wasted so much time talking to you here. I need to hurry and find Hua now, or she'll get anxious waiting."
After saying that, Lin Xuan left in a hurry.
Huo Shen watched Lin Xuan's retreating figure, his eyes darkening.
This Lin Xuan! He clearly came over just to show off to him.
Heh.
Let him be smug for a while. Once he snatched Hua'er back, he wanted to see how smug Lin Xuan could be then.
Huo Shen exhaled a few breaths of foul air, pretended nothing had happened, took his documents, and walked out.
The employees of the Su Group couldn't help but gather together, whispering among themselves.
"Hey, did you see that? The dismissive attitude Young Master Lin just had towards President Huo was absolutely handsome!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too. Young Master Lin's attitude was totally that of the rightful partner facing a homewrecker!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this President Huo is still coveting President Su. With Young Master Lin around, President Huo shouldn't even dream of being with President Su!"
President Su belongs to Young Master Lin.
The two of them must be together, locked in forever! No one is allowed to intervene!
"Don't worry about it. It's at most unrequited love on President Huo's part. President Huo won't stand a chance. Didn't you see? Judging by the conversation between Young Master Lin and President Huo just now, Young Master Lin obviously knows about President Huo's feelings for President Su. Young Master Lin will definitely guard against him."
"Right, right, right, I think so too. Besides, the only person President Su likes is Young Master Lin. How could she possibly fall for another man?"
A woman like President Su usually lived such an ascetic life, like a nun, but once she fell for a man, it was a lifetime commitment.
"That's true."
The person who was worried that the relationship between Lin Xuan and Su Hua might be ruined by Huo Shen finally felt relieved upon hearing this.
They were right.
It was impossible for Young Master Lin and President Su to be broken apart.
Huo Shen wanted to be President Su's man? Maybe in the next life.
No!
Not even in the next life.
Even in the next life, President Su and Young Master Lin have to be together!
Meanwhile.
In the CEO's office.
A high-level executive stood trembling before the desk, being reprimanded by Su Hua.
Su Hua's gaze was locked tight on Director Li, her beautiful eyes as cold as ice.
"I gave you a week, and this is the answer you give me?"
"I-I'm sorry..." Director Li's voice trembled.
"President Su, we mishandled it this time."
"You can punish me however you want."
After speaking, Director Li lowered his head, awaiting Su Hua's punishment.
They had done such a poor job on the proposal this time; President Su would definitely punish him.
Director Li couldn't help but think of Lin Xuan.
If only Young Master Lin appeared right now. If he were here, President Su would definitely calm down.
But how could it be such a coincidence that Lin Xuan would appear right...
"You..."
Just as Su Hua was about to say something, she noticed a figure walking into the office.
Lin Xuan saw Su Hua working and, afraid of disturbing her, didn't go directly to her but sat on the sofa to wait.
The moment Su Hua saw Lin Xuan, the anger in her heart vanished completely.
Moreover, she didn't want him to see her angry side.
Su Hua's voice softened. "How about this? Go back and have your whole department review this. I'll give you another three days. Bring me the new proposal in three days. Use this time to revise it properly."
"You can go back now."
"..."
The executive suddenly looked up.
President Su wasn't going to punish him? She was just letting it slide lightly?
He thought the whole department was going to get a harsh scolding.
Where was he?
What was he doing right now?
The executive felt dizzy, a sense of unreality washing over him.
Seeing the executive standing still, Su Hua frowned slightly. "Is there still a problem?"
"No, no, no." The executive snapped out of it and shook his head vigorously. "President Su, I'll go back and review it right now. I'll strive to give you a satisfactory answer in three days."
As the executive turned around, he was still wondering.
What exactly happened?
Why did President Su's attitude do a complete one-eighty?
The executive had just taken a step or two toward the door when he saw Lin Xuan sitting on the sofa.
He froze. "Young Master Lin, when did you get here?"
"About two minutes ago," Lin Xuan replied.
The executive suddenly understood.
He finally knew why President Su's attitude had changed so quickly.
It was because of Young Master Lin!
That made sense. Only Young Master Lin could make President Su's temper become so good.
"Young Master Lin, thank you, thank you."
Director Li said "thank you" to Lin Xuan several times in a row.
He hadn't expected that just as he was hoping for Young Master Lin to come, Young Master Lin actually appeared.
Lin Xuan was confused.
Thank him for what?
Did he do anything?
Director Li said with a beaming smile, "Young Master Lin, if you have any orders in the future, just let me know. As long as I can do it, I definitely will."
Yes.
Besides thanking Young Master Lin, he had another goal: he wanted to cling to Young Master Lin's thigh.
Young Master Lin was the ultimate weapon for handling President Su.
"Okay."
Lin Xuan nodded.
"Then, Young Master Lin, I'll get back to work."
Director Li left the CEO's office with a cheerful smile.
Lin Xuan shook his head. "So weird."
Why was this executive being so attentive to him? His attitude was overly nice, acting as if Lin Xuan was his savior or something.
Full of doubts, Lin Xuan stood up from the sofa and walked to Su Hua's desk.
"Hua, did you rest today? Also, did you eat on time?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Mhm."
Su Hua nodded. "I took a nap at noon and ate at twelve-thirty."
"Hua is so good," Lin Xuan praised.
Hearing Lin Xuan's praise, Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile.
Lin Xuan realized that Su Hua sometimes acted quite like a child and often needed coaxing.
It was actually kind of cute.
Back when he was locked in the little black room by Hua, how come he never noticed this cute side of hers?
Maybe he wouldn't have resisted her so much then...
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.”
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? 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…
