Su Hua: "Speak."
"President Su, Young Master Lin's company has been slandered," the executive quickly reported.
Su Hua abruptly raised her head. "Give me specifics."
The executive continued, "President Su, Young Master Lin's company developed a game called 'King's Pesticide.' It seems Starlight Group plagiarized it and released their version first. Now, public opinion is overwhelmingly condemning Skyline Group."
Su Hua's brows furrowed tightly as she picked up her phone to check.
Seeing the flood of online posts vilifying Skyline Group, a chilling aura radiated from her.
How dare they scheme against her A-Xuan?
They’re asking for death.
The executive asked, "President Su, these comments are clearly bought and orchestrated by Starlight Group. Should I arrange to help Young Master Lin quell this storm?"
"No need." Su Hua suddenly chuckled. "A-Xuan will handle it himself."
A-Xuan wasn’t the type to take losses lying down. This development was likely part of his own plan.
Besides, if he really needed help, he’d come to her.
And when he did, he’d have to pay a price—perhaps with his body.
A soft glimmer flashed in Su Hua’s eyes.
"President Su, are you sure?" The executive looked puzzled.
Given how much Su Hua cared for Young Master Lin, if something happened to him, she’d surely be frantic—not this calm.
"Mhm." Su Hua curled her red lips into a doting smile. "My A-Xuan doesn’t let himself get bullied."
What followed would be quite the spectacle.
The executive remained skeptical.
Starlight Group had been around for years, and Lin Chang was a seasoned fox in the business world. No matter how capable Young Master Lin was, his company was barely a year old. Could he really handle this alone?
Su Hua added, "Keep a close eye on the online developments. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, President Su." The executive nodded.
"President Su, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."
As the executive turned to exit the office—
"Wait." Su Hua suddenly called him back.
"President Su." The executive bowed respectfully.
Su Hua said, "You did well this time. The department head position is vacant—you’ll take it."
"Also, double your bonus this month."
The executive froze.
Double the bonus? And a promotion to department head?
All just for reporting Young Master Lin’s situation?
When Su Hua had coldly dismissed the matter earlier, he thought his chance to curry favor with Young Master Lin was gone.
Yet here she was, rewarding him so generously.
He’d expected some recognition, but never this much.
"Thank you, President Su!" The executive snapped back to reality, beaming.
He left the office grinning.
Young Master Lin was definitely a golden ticket!
He had to cling to that man’s coattails—no matter what!

An hour later, Starlight Group.
The head of the tech department knocked on the CEO’s office door.
"Enter," Lin Chang said.
The tech head stepped inside.
Lin Chang was still scrolling through the online comments, relishing the sight of netizens bashing Lin Xuan and Skyline Group. It lifted his spirits immensely.
For months, his company had been crushed under Skyline Group’s shadow.
Top actors were snatched away by them.
Every time their movies or shows went head-to-head with Skyline’s productions, they lost miserably.
After being suppressed for so long, they were finally getting their revenge.
"Well?" Lin Chang asked. "Did they identify the virus?"
Truthfully, he was nervous.
Whether they could neutralize the virus in time was critical.
Any longer, and even Starlight’s loyal players might defect to Skyline’s game.
"Y-yes, they located where the virus was embedded," the tech manager stammered.
Lin Chang’s eyes lit up.
If they’d found it, they could eliminate it.
"Then wipe it out immediately!" Lin Chang snapped.
"But... but..." The tech manager hesitated.
"But what? Spit it out!"
Seeing the manager’s ashen face, a terrible premonition gripped Lin Chang.
"Chairman, we found the virus, but... it’s fully integrated with our game’s code," the tech manager mumbled, head bowed.
"If we remove it, the entire game will be destroyed."
"What?!"
Lin Chang’s face turned deathly pale.
"Chairman," the tech manager said weakly, "whether we remove the virus or not, the game will crash either way."
"Weren’t they supposed to be world-class computer experts?" Lin Chang roared. "How can they not fix a single virus?!"
They’d invested billions in this game’s development and marketing.
With their funds nearly depleted, they were counting on "King’s Hero" to save them.
If it failed, Starlight Group would collapse.
"They must need more time to crack it," Lin Chang muttered, grasping at hope.
Yes, that had to be it.
They were top-tier experts. There was no way they’d fail.
"Tell them to keep working on it! I’ll buy more time. If they need money, name the price—just fix it without damaging the game!" Lin Chang urged.
"Chairman..." The tech manager trembled. "They... they’ve already boarded their flight. They said the virus is unsolvable—not just by them, but by anyone except its creator."
"They advised us not to waste more money."
"Useless! All of them, useless!" Lin Chang slammed his fists on the desk, sending files flying.
The tech manager gulped at the sight.
The chairman had truly lost it.
But who could blame him?
As the manager left, one thought crossed his mind:
It was time to update his resume.
Starlight Group wouldn’t last much longer.

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?

If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor.
