The executives pricked up their ears.
It was a man. His voice was quite pleasant, but Su Hua was known to keep men at arm's length. No matter how nice the voice, it wouldn’t sway her.
Right now, Su Hua was in a rage, and this man had undoubtedly walked straight into the line of fire.
The executives silently lit a candle for Lin Xuan in their hearts.
But then! Su Hua, who had been exuding an icy aura as if ready to destroy the world, suddenly softened.
Everyone: “???” What just happened?
Su Hua picked up her phone and said gently, “Wait a moment.”
The executives widened their eyes in shock. Su Hua, being this gentle?
Astonishing!
Su Hua spoke calmly, “Take a break for now. I need to take this call.”
She walked out of the meeting room with her phone in hand.
As soon as Su Hua left, the executives erupted into chaos.
All professionalism vanished!
Now, they resembled a group of gossiping elders sitting at the village entrance.
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Why did Su Hua suddenly become so gentle and sweet? I’m not used to this.”
“The voice on the phone sounded like a young man, and judging by the tone, he’s probably good-looking. Could it be that Su Hua has a boyfriend?”
“A boyfriend? Impossible. Su Hua is so detached. Countless men have tried to get close to her, but have any of them even touched a corner of her sleeve?”
“Honestly, I think this might be the real deal!”
“Hey, do you think if Su Hua starts dating, she’d be the one dominating or the one being dominated?”
“Su Hua is so strong-willed. She’d definitely be the one dominating!”
“I’m not so sure. Did you see how tender she just became? No matter how strong a woman is, she’ll turn soft in front of the man she loves.”
They debated fervently.
Most of them still believed that even if this man was indeed Su Hua’s, he was likely just a kept man, someone to satisfy her physical needs.
Su Hua was the type of person who lived for her work and would never let herself get entangled in emotions.
In Su Hua’s office.
Su Hua’s voice was soft, “Lin Xuan, I’m done. What did you need?”
This was the first time Lin Xuan had actively called her, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
“Were you working just now?” Lin Xuan asked with a frown.
“Yes, I was in a meeting,” Su Hua replied.
“It’s noon already. You should eat. Su Hua, take care of your health,” Lin Xuan reminded her.
“Mhm,” Su Hua’s eyes curved into a smile.
This version of him was so good.
She wished he would stay like this forever.
Otherwise…
A hint of ferocity flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
Even if she had to break his limbs, she would keep him by her side.
If he tried to end his life, she would let him die, then turn his body into a specimen to accompany her. Or perhaps, she’d consume his ashes, so they could become one.
Lin Xuan said, “Are you at the company? I’ll come over.”
Su Hua was about to nod when she remembered Jiang Qing’s words.
Men shouldn’t be pushed too hard. They need space.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse him.
Su Hua remained silent for a long time.
Lin Xuan, not hearing a response, asked with concern, “Su Hua?”
Su Hua finally spoke, pinching the bridge of her nose, “You don’t need to come. I’m a bit tired and want to take a nap at the office.”
“Then make sure you eat on time,” Lin Xuan insisted.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Su Hua’s lips curled into a smile.
After hanging up, she returned to the meeting room with her phone in hand.
The heated discussion among the executives came to an abrupt halt the moment Su Hua walked in.
Su Hua took her seat at the head of the table.
“Manager Lin,” her voice was noticeably less stern than before.
“Yes, Su Hua,” the project manager wiped sweat from his brow.
Su Hua tossed the project proposal he had submitted onto the table.
“Go back and revise it. Work overtime if you have to. I want it on my desk in five days.”
The project manager was stunned.
That’s it?
Su Hua frowned, “Any questions?”
“No, Su Hua. I’ll make sure to do thorough research and deliver a solid project plan,” the project manager quickly shook his head.
“That’s all for today. Meeting adjourned,” Su Hua stood up from her chair.
“Su Hua, if I may ask, what’s the relationship between you and the man you were speaking to earlier? Is he a subordinate, or…” one executive dared to ask.
All eyes turned to Su Hua.
Their eyes gleamed with curiosity!
Su Hua glanced at the executive.
The executive wiped the sweat from his forehead. He must have lost his mind to pry into Su Hua’s personal affairs.
As the executive trembled with fear, Su Hua spoke gently, “He’s my man.”
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.”

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.
