Self-Directed and Self-Performed

Half an hour later.

The members of the experimental team brimmed with intense joy.

"We succeeded. We really succeeded."

"With this problem solved, in less than a week, we can develop a chip that leads the world. From now on, we won’t be constrained by foreign countries in the chip sector."

The experimental team members looked at Lin Xuan with eyes full of admiration.

Lin Xuan was truly, truly extraordinary.

They could confidently say that even if he had worked alone, he might have cracked it.

They were practically useless, weren’t they?

Lin Xuan nodded. "Once the chip is developed, don’t announce it online right away. Contact the country first."

"Got it."

The lab members nodded one after another.

Lin Xuan didn’t stay at the lab; he headed home.

The lab members felt dazed.

"At first, when I joined Lin Xuan’s chip and lithography machine project, I thought this chip would never be developed—or if it was, it’d be something low-end and useless. But we actually pulled it off, and it’s a world-leading chip."

"Exactly. It’s incredible. We’re just a bunch of students who haven’t even graduated, and we’ve been at this for less than a year."

"By ourselves, even if we had ten more years, we wouldn’t have made it. It’s all thanks to Lin Xuan. He gave us the ideas, solved the tough problems time and again. Lin Xuan is practically our god."

"Forget those entertainment stars. From now on, Lin Xuan is my idol!"

"I only recognize Lin Xuan too!"

The lab members’ eyes gleamed with passion.

Lin Xuan was truly their god!

At Su’s Group.

Huo Shen called Hong Yuanjie.

"Young Master Huo." Hong Yuanjie’s respectful voice came through the phone.

"Do you have time now?" Huo Shen asked.

Hong Yuanjie nodded. "Yes."

"Let’s meet. I have something important to discuss. Imperial Hotel." Huo Shen said.

"Alright."

Hong Yuanjie hung up.

The news of Boss Su and Lin Xuan’s marriage had just been released, and now Young Master Huo wanted to see him.

It seemed Young Master Huo was planning to make his move.

In truth, everything Lin Xuan had done had proven his capabilities.

But Hong Yuanjie refused to admit he had misjudged.

He stubbornly believed Huo Shen was the only one worthy of Su Hua.

Only Huo Shen could be the master of Su’s Group.

Lin Xuan? He didn’t deserve it.

Hong Yuanjie pocketed his phone and headed to the agreed location.

Huo Shen had also left Su’s Group.

The employees were curious.

"Huo Shen never arrives late or leaves early to impress Boss Su. Why’s he leaving so soon today?"

"I always feel like Huo Shen is up to something dodgy. He’s going to stir up trouble."

"Yeah, I think so too. But with Young Master Lin and Boss Su being so smart, Huo Shen probably won’t succeed."

"I have a feeling we’re about to see some drama."

Huo Shen and Hong Yuanjie met in a private room at Imperial Hotel.

Little did Huo Shen know, a tiny, nearly undetectable recording device had been planted on him.

One of Lin Xuan’s men had bumped into Huo Shen earlier and slipped it onto him.

"Young Master Huo." Hong Yuanjie greeted with respect.

The real reason he wanted Huo Shen and Su Hua together was that Huo Shen had once saved his younger brother.

Since Huo Shen liked Boss Su, Hong Yuanjie wanted to help make it happen.

"Sit down, Yuanjie. It’s been a while. Let’s eat first. We’ll talk later." Huo Shen said.

"Alright."

Hong Yuanjie sat at the table and ate.

After they had their fill, Huo Shen spoke. "I called you today because now’s the best time to act."

Hong Yuanjie straightened up. "What’s your plan, Young Master Huo?"

Huo Shen said, "I’ve found a hypnotist. Once Lin Xuan is hypnotized, he’ll believe he’s in love with another woman. He’ll leave Hua’er on his own."

As for that woman, he had already arranged everything.

She would surely bewitch Lin Xuan completely. Once Lin Xuan broke Hua’er’s heart, that would be Huo Shen’s chance to step in and win her over.

Huo Shen’s eyes burned with determination.

Hua’er would be his soon.

"Yuanjie, your job is to bring Lin Xuan to me." Huo Shen added.

Hong Yuanjie thought for a few seconds, then nodded. "Alright, I’ll do it."

"The hypnotist is already with me. You can capture Lin Xuan anytime." Huo Shen said.

"Mm."

Hong Yuanjie nodded. "I’ll do it quickly. I’ll have Lin Xuan before he marries Boss Su."

"Thanks for your hard work." Huo Shen smiled. "Yuanjie, it’s a good thing I have you. Otherwise, I’d have to watch helplessly as Hua’er marries another man."

"This Lin Xuan is calculating. Who knows what tricks he used to win over Grandpa Su and Hua’er? He’s probably after Hua’er’s money and power. If we don’t stop the wedding, everything in the Su family will fall into Lin Xuan’s hands."

"Once he gets what he wants, he’ll boot Hua’er and Grandpa Su out."

Hong Yuanjie frowned. For the first time, he doubted Huo Shen’s words.

Lin Xuan already owned the Tianmu Group, and he was from the Jiang family.

Why would he need to covet Boss Su’s wealth?

"Young Master Huo."

Hong Yuanjie stood up from the sofa. "I’m heading back."

"Alright." Huo Shen nodded.

"Yuanjie, leave Lin Xuan to you."

"Mm."

As Hong Yuanjie left the room, he closed the door behind him.

Huo Shen picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip.

He smirked.

"What a fool."

Being played so easily by him.

When Huo Shen left the hotel, several people brushed past him, discreetly retrieving the recording device from his body.

"Young Master Lin."

A man in a suit placed a phone in front of Lin Xuan.

"This contains the recording of Huo Shen and Hong Yuanjie’s meeting."

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

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.
