"Young Master Lin needed to buy time so his people could infiltrate and ambush the Shang organization. Zhao Long was fixated on driving a wedge between you and Young Master Lin, which is why he deliberately said those hurtful things to you."
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flickered in Su Hua's eyes.
Was it all an act with Zhao Long?
"President Su," Jiang Qing, the peacemaker, spoke again, "Young Master Lin has regained the memories he lost. But from what I’ve observed, his attitude toward you hasn’t changed. Though I don’t know what those memories contained, I suspect there might be some misunderstanding."
"If there were no misunderstanding, Young Master Lin would surely despise you by now. If he truly despised you, why would he have cared for you day and night after you were shot?"
Su Hua clenched her fists, recalling the dark circles under Lin Xuan’s eyes when she first woke from unconsciousness.
"President Su, I think you should have a proper talk with Young Master Lin."
After Jiang Qing finished speaking, silence fell over the study.
A long moment passed.
Finally, Su Hua spoke.
"Jiang Qing," she said, her lips curling into a mocking smile, "if Ah Xuan’s attitude toward me hasn’t changed, don’t you think he might still be acting?"
"The time we spent together on that island—there couldn’t have been any misunderstandings."
She had, after all, entertained the thought of killing Ah Xuan multiple times.
Twice, she had even acted on it.
The first time, she collapsed from a fever.
The second time, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Later, she had killed those people—and Ah Xuan had witnessed her torturing them…
These were things he could never accept.
It must have been as he said—he was acting.
Hah. Sincere feelings for her?
How could that be possible?
Jiang Qing frowned.
It seemed President Su was too close to see clearly.
The love in Young Master Lin’s eyes when he looked at her was practically overflowing. And the worry on his face when she was injured—no matter how good an actor he was, those emotions couldn’t be faked.
"President Su, I really think you should have an open and honest conversation with Young Master Lin. Maybe things aren’t as you believe."
With that, Jiang Qing said no more.
She was certain Su Hua would talk to Young Master Lin—unless she wanted to continue this ambiguous relationship.
"President Su, let’s get back to company matters. These documents require your personal review."
Jiang Qing resumed her report on company affairs, though Su Hua’s mind was clearly elsewhere.
Fortunately, the matters weren’t critical, and Jiang Qing could handle them alone.
Once the report was finished, Jiang Qing closed the file.
"President Su, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
"Ten times your salary and bonus this month," Su Hua said hoarsely.
Jiang Qing: "!!!!"
Ten times!
This was the most generous Su Hua had ever been in all the years she’d worked for her.
"Thank you, President Su!" Jiang Qing’s voice brimmed with excitement.
All she’d done was clarify Young Master Lin’s intentions, and she’d earned a tenfold bonus.
First, Young Master Lin had rescued her from mining in Africa, and now this windfall—he truly was her god of wealth!
She was absolutely clinging to Young Master Lin’s coattails!
Beaming, Jiang Qing left Night Garden.
After leaving the company, Lin Xuan didn’t go anywhere else—just handled some business regarding the game.
The mini-program game "Sheep a Sheep" had already gone viral online.
Players had a love-hate relationship with it.
[Damn it, why can’t I win this game?! I’ve played for a full day and night, practically on the verge of collapse. Every time, I’m just a few blocks short of clearing the board. Ugh! How do you even win this thing?!]
[Right?! Who came up with such a devilish game? Is this even meant for humans? How did those people in the leaderboard manage to clear all the blocks?]
[Any tips? Please share! I pulled an all-nighter, and my brain’s turned to mush.]
[This game is toxic!]
[This game is toxic!]
Lei Hui gleefully reviewed the revenue from "Sheep a Sheep" over the past few days.
Who would’ve thought such a simple mini-game could rake in millions daily from ads and in-game purchases? It was insane!
The game was straightforward, and he’d assumed it wouldn’t make much money—but it was ridiculously addictive!
Combined with the marketing strategy the boss had provided, the game had exploded in popularity.
Once people started playing, they were hooked.
As expected, anything the boss created was extraordinary.
Dressed in simple white casual wear, Lin Xuan walked into the Tianmu Group building.
"Look, look—a hottie!" One girl tugged at her friend excitedly.
"A hottie?" Her friend scoffed. "You’re such a fangirl. You’d call a male mosquito a hottie."
"You won’t believe me until you see him. If you don’t think he’s hot, I’ll eat my words—literally!"
This was the first time the girl had sworn something so extreme.
Her friend finally glanced over—and froze.
Wanwan’s taste wasn’t wrong this time. He really was handsome.
The company had recently hired many interns, and most didn’t recognize Lin Xuan.
Female interns on the east side swooned over him, clutching their chests as if their hearts might leap out.
"Ahhh, he’s so handsome! Seriously, so hot!"
"Who is he? He looks familiar… Whatever, he’s exactly my type—tall, well-built, elegant. Is he a new hire?"
"And his aura—gentle but with this untouchable authority. He’s like the refined, noble male lead from novels! Imagine being his girlfriend. I’d die happy."
"I need his contact info in three seconds!"
One particularly bold girl approached Lin Xuan.
He frowned.
Blushing, she nervously asked, "Excuse me, sir… could I add you on WeChat?"
Lin Xuan: "..."
This damn magnet-for-trouble charm of his.
He had no interest in dealing with these admirers. A jealous Hua Bao was not to be trifled with.
At least these women weren’t as difficult to shake off as Shen Qianqian.
"No," he refused outright. "I have a girlfriend, and she doesn’t like me interacting with other women."
So, don’t even try.
The last thing he needed was Hua Bao’s jealousy landing him in the doghouse again.
Ugh.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
