The female interns stood frozen in place, their mouths forming perfect "O"s of shock as they watched Lei Hui bow and scrape before Lin Xuan.
"Mm." Lin Xuan nodded, picked up a pen, and swiftly signed his name on the document. After finishing, he closed the file and handed it back to Lei Hui.
"Take care, Boss," Lei Hui said, then added, "And remember—this company is yours, not mine."
For heaven's sake, don’t be a complete hands-off boss!
In an entire year, the number of times he’d shown up at the company could be counted on two hands. He barely attended any business meetings or banquets either.
Their boss lived with Boss Su, and Lei Hui didn’t dare bother him at home. Day after day, he just hoped his boss would finally grace the company with his presence.
Every time Lin Xuan suggested a money-making idea, the company raked in massive profits. And any document that passed through his hands? Flaws were instantly spotted, and his suggestions were always constructive.
"General Manager Lei Hui," Lin Xuan paused mid-step and raised an eyebrow. "If I came here every day, I wouldn’t need you to manage the company for me."
Lei Hui: "…Aren’t you worried I might one day embezzle the company’s assets and vanish?"
Lin Xuan shot him a glance. "If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and try."
Lei Hui: "…"
Fine. He really didn’t have the guts.
Not only was the boss himself terrifyingly capable, but his girlfriend was Boss Su. If Lei Hui dared to scheme, he’d end up with nowhere to bury his corpse.
Lin Xuan patted Lei Hui’s shoulder and smiled faintly. "Uncle Lei, keep at it. I believe in you. If your health ever takes a hit, come to me—I’m pretty good at medicine."
So, work yourself to the bone.
He’d make sure Lei Hui stayed in good health.
"Got it," Lei Hui replied, suppressing a sigh.
With that, Lin Xuan left the company.
Lei Hui exhaled deeply.
Ah, well. The boss was stubborn as a rock.
He’d just have to keep managing the company diligently—and make sure to exercise regularly. If his body gave out, he wouldn’t be able to help the boss anymore.
Lei Hui returned to his office.
The female interns still hadn’t snapped out of their daze. One murmured in disbelief, "Did I hear that right? They called him the boss?"
"You heard right," another intern confirmed. "The general manager called him the boss…"
"Wait!"
One intern suddenly remembered something and pulled out her phone, frantically searching Lin Xuan’s name.
"It’s him! It’s Lin Xuan!" she gasped.
"What?" The other interns crowded around her, curious.
"He’s currently a student at Shangqing University. This year, his team won first place in the National College Computer Competition, and he solved a notoriously unsolvable problem that even top international experts couldn’t crack!"
"And our company? He built it from scratch in just over a year."
"I never expected him to be so handsome AND so talented!"
The intern cupped her face, her eyes sparkling with admiration and infatuation.
But soon, her expression dimmed.
"Someone so perfect… why does he already have a girlfriend?" she muttered.
"Don’t even think about it," her friend said. "Even if he were single, guys like him are out of our league."
"True." The intern sighed but felt slightly better.
"Still, I wonder what his girlfriend is like. She must be stunning and brilliant," she mused.
Meanwhile, the male intern who had earlier sneered at Lin Xuan, calling him a pretty boy, now felt his face burning with humiliation.
He was the boss.
The brilliant mastermind behind Tianmu Group!
And he’d had the nerve to call him a pretty boy…
The news that Lin Xuan was their company’s owner spread like wildfire among the interns.
The female interns suddenly worked like their lives depended on it, their productivity skyrocketing.
The supervisor frowned in confusion.
What was going on?
Lately, the interns had been unusually driven—no slacking, just pure efficiency.
"Supervisor, here’s what you asked for." A female intern placed a file on his desk and turned to leave.
"Wait." The supervisor stopped her.
"Yes, Supervisor? Anything else?" she asked politely.
"Just… one question." He hesitated.
"Go ahead." She tilted her head, puzzled by his uncharacteristic hesitation.
"It’s nothing major. I just wanted to ask—why have you all been so… motivated lately?" His face was full of curiosity.
"Oh, that." The intern smiled. "Two days ago, we met the company’s owner. We had no idea he’d be so young and ridiculously good-looking. His photos and background info blew up in our intern group chat."
"We’re all working hard to leave a good impression on him!"
Plus, with a boss that easy on the eyes, they had every reason to fight for a permanent position.
The supervisor: "…"
So a pretty face had that kind of power?
He couldn’t help but point out, "He has a girlfriend, you know."
"We know," the intern replied. "He mentioned it himself that day."
The supervisor frowned. "Then why bother trying to impress him?"
She grinned. "Even if he’s not boyfriend material, he’s still our idol—our role model!"
The supervisor’s expression turned complicated.
Better not use him as a role model. The guy was downright lazy.
"Never mind. You can go."
"Got it." She left the office.
Meanwhile, a stunning, wildly popular actress—just 21 years old—sat at a table with fellow actors during a gathering.
"Hey, do you guys know who our boss is?" one actress asked.
"I do!" a male actor chimed in. "He’s still in college—a senior—but he’s insanely talented. A computer genius!"
"Oh, and he’s crazy handsome. You girls would love him."
Curious, the actress pulled out her phone and searched for Lin Xuan. As she read his bio, her heart began pounding.
Who knew their boss would be this young… and this gorgeous?
At 21, she was just a year younger than him.
Perfect.

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?

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.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
