The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Another five minutes passed.
Finally, a post appeared on Su Hua's originally blank homepage.
[My name is Su Hua. I am the largest shareholder of Shangqing University and hold controlling rights. I unconditionally support student Lin Xuan in everything he does.]
The netizens: !!!
Holy crap!
Boss Su really registered a Weibo account just for Lin Xuan!
—Oh my god, am am am am I seeing things? Boss Su didn't use the company account for this, but verified a separate account specifically to clear things up for Lin Xuan.
—I smell something fishy. Could it be that the relationship between Boss Su and Lin Xuan isn't simple?
—Yes yes yes, I think so too. Boss Su is the President of the Su Group, and Lin Xuan is the person in charge of the Sky Curtain Group. They are simply too perfect a match!
—You guys stop dreaming. Boss Su supporting Lin Xuan is definitely because she values his talent; that's why she stands by him. Besides, she holds most of the shares of Shangqing University, and Lin Xuan has brought a lot of benefits to the university. Isn't it right for Boss Su to defend him?
—Exactly. Do you fans really think Lin Xuan is a heartthrob? Boss Su falling for him? How is that possible?
This last comment came from a guy who was jealous of Lin Xuan.
A look of disdain appeared on his face.
How could a strong career woman like Boss Su possibly fall for a boy younger than her like Lin Xuan?
Many people were discussing the matter between Lin Xuan and Su Hua.
Grandpa Jiang was also looking at Weibo.
Grandpa Jiang originally didn't use Weibo, but a servant in the Jiang family happened to mention that Lin Xuan was being scolded, and he heard it.
He asked the servant to help him register an account.
While browsing, he happened to see this post by Su Hua.
"That girl Su Hua is actually worthy of Little Xuan," Grandpa Jiang said, nodding.
However, Su Hua already had a boyfriend, so it was impossible for the two of them.
He both hoped Su Hua could be with Lin Xuan, and also hoped they wouldn't be together.
Su Hua was quite outstanding, always the perfect role model of a child. If Little Xuan could be with her, it would be quite nice.
But if they got together, that Old Man Su would definitely show off in front of him endlessly.
"Master, do you want to help the Young Master resolve the situation online?" the butler asked respectfully.
This could be said to be a good opportunity to get closer to the Young Master.
Mere words couldn't move Young Master Lin.
It had to be done with practical actions.
"No need," Grandpa Jiang said, shaking his head. "We shouldn't need to intervene; Little Xuan should be able to solve the matter himself."
As the boss of the Sky Curtain Group, solving this little issue would be a breeze for Little Xuan.
"Sigh."
Grandpa Jiang sighed. "Having a grandson who is too capable isn't necessarily a good thing."
Little Xuan could solve everything himself; there was simply no chance for him to show off.
The butler smiled. "Master, the Young Master is of Jiang stock. There are no Jiang family members who aren't formidable."
"That cunning streak in Little Xuan really does resemble us Jiangs," Grandpa Jiang laughed with satisfaction.
Lin Xuan was reading the comments cursing him online with great relish.
"These people have quite foul mouths," Lin Xuan lamented with a few tsk-tsks.
However, the more vigorously they cursed now, the harder the slap in the face would be later.
Next, he just needed to watch the show.
As Lin Xuan scrolled, a post suddenly popped up.
Looking at the content, his brows furrowed tightly.
It was actually Hua posting on Weibo to defend him.
He had originally intended to let things run their course; once the chip was developed, it would naturally prove them wrong.
However, he planned to investigate who was orchestrating all this from behind the scenes.
Now that Hua had stuck her neck out for him, he couldn't be a coward anymore.
Lin Xuan called Lei Hui.
"Boss," Lei Hui's voice was respectful.
Lin Xuan ordered expressionlessly, "Go tell these people about my ownership of shares in Shangqing University, and also that the R&D is funded by me."
"Okay, Boss," Lei Hui accepted the order.
After hanging up, Lei Hui immediately drafted a Weibo post and published it on the official account.
[Sky Curtain Group V: Our boss owns twenty percent of the shares of Shangqing University. Additionally, the R&D funding for the chip and photolithography machine projects is entirely provided by our boss. Not a single cent of the school's money was used.]
The Sky Curtain Group also attached records of project equipment purchases and bank transfers from this period to the post.
So, there was no way Lin Xuan embezzled research funds.
Shangqing University had been monitoring the Sky Curtain Group's movements.
The moment they posted, Shangqing University followed suit.
[Shangqing University V: Everything Boss Su and the Sky Curtain Group said is true. Additionally, to clarify, the participants in the chip and photolithography machine research project are not only students from Shangqing University but also include staff from the Su Group and the Sky Curtain Group, fifteen from each.]
The netizens: !!!!
Surprisingly, Lin Xuan didn't waste resources, nor did he embezzle...
Those words they just used to curse Lin Xuan... The netizens felt a stinging pain on their faces.
—Lin Xuan, I was wrong. I will never scold you again.
—Damn it! I really shouldn't have questioned Lin Xuan. Hiss—my face really hurts from this slap. Boohoo, Lin Xuan, I will support you unconditionally from now on.
—I told you my male god definitely had no issues, but you guys didn't believe me!
—Lin Xuan researching this project is at most wasting his own company's and the Su Group's resources. Since Boss Su already said she supports Lin Xuan unconditionally, even if the research fails, we probably can't say anything about him.
—Hmph, you guys have been brainwashed by Lin Xuan. How could there be nothing wrong? Don't forget, dozens of Shangqing University students are participating in the research. Isn't researching an impossible project a waste of their time? I bet they didn't want to participate in this project either, but were forced by the school.
The paid trolls consciously voted this comment to the top.
The Shangqing University students participating in the project research took to Weibo one after another to testify for Lin Xuan.
[My name is Lin Jingyue, a participant in Shangqing University's chip and photolithography machine project. Lin Xuan did not force us to research this project; it was all voluntary. Moreover, he promised that if we perform well in the project, we can work at the Su Group or the Sky Curtain Group after graduation.]
After hearing this promise from Lin Xuan, Lin Jingyue secretly swore an oath.
She must perform well.
If she could get a job at the Sky Curtain Group, she would have many opportunities to see her male god in the future.
Otherwise, after graduation, she would just be like those netizens; if she wanted to see her male god, she could only look at him online.
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.
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?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
