Liang Li said, "Dahe, you probably don’t know yet, but our company is about to collaborate with Tianmu Group soon. They invest in real estate and purchase materials from us. With Tianmu Group’s partnership, our annual revenue could reach several hundred million."
"In the future, Mom and Dad will get acquainted with the CEO of Tianmu Group. With such a powerful backer behind us, Dahe, how could your friends possibly suppress us?"
Liang Li put on a hypocritically sweet tone. "For your own sake, and for your foster parents, you should just apologize to Mom and Dad."
His voice dripped with smugness.
With Tianmu Group’s cooperation, their company was bound to soar to new heights.
And he—he was the sole heir to Xingsheng Construction Materials.
Everything in the Liang family would belong to him.
As for forcing Wang Dahe to apologize, given his stubborn nature, he would never back down.
The worse Wang Dahe treated his parents, the less likely they would ever allow him back into the Liang family.
Whispers spread among the onlookers.
"Who would’ve thought they’d try to use Tianmu Group to pressure Dahe and Lin Xuan? Little do they know, Lin Xuan is the mastermind behind Tianmu Group. Their plans are about to crumble."
"Tsk, if they had treated Dahe better, with Lin Xuan’s help, the Liang family would’ve thrived. But no, they favored the wrong child and lost the golden goose."
"Guess what? Do you think Xingsheng’s collaboration with Tianmu Group will still go through?"
"Not a chance. Tianmu Group is notorious for holding grudges. Offending Lin Xuan means their company is as good as finished."
"Now we’re in for a show. I’m dying to see the look on the Liang family’s faces when they find out Lin Xuan is the real boss of Tianmu Group."
This was going to be an entertaining spectacle.
Everyone present stared at the Liang family as if they were watching a clown perform.
"Tianmu Group, huh?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Liang Li straightened his back proudly. "You people probably have no idea how influential Tianmu Group is right now."
"Tianmu Group was founded just two years ago, yet it’s already the leading enterprise in novels, film, entertainment, gaming, and short videos."
"Now they’re expanding into real estate and chose our company as their partner. If this collaboration goes well, we’ll secure long-term cooperation."
With such a massive corporation backing them, Xingsheng Construction Materials would live lavishly off Tianmu Group’s orders alone.
One of Wang Dahe’s friends spoke up loudly, "Do you even know that Dahe currently works in Tianmu Group’s IT department?"
Liang Li’s fists clenched instantly.
Damn it!
Wang Dahe actually worked in Tianmu Group’s IT division?
That department was the core of the entire company.
Rumor had it that every member of the IT team was a top-tier computer expert recruited from home and abroad.
How the hell did Wang Dahe even get in?
Liang's mother crossed her arms. "No wonder you’re acting so bold—you’re an employee of Tianmu Group."
"But Dahe, now that we’re collaborating with them, getting a single employee fired is child’s play. Are you sure you won’t listen to us?"
Wang Dahe smirked. "No. And one more thing—"
"Where exactly did you get the confidence that Tianmu Group would fire me?" He looked at them as if they were fools. Lin Xuan himself had personally recruited him into the company. Expecting Lin Xuan to dismiss him? That was pure fantasy.
After all this time, Wang Dahe still refused to show the Liang family an ounce of respect.
This infuriated them beyond measure.
Liang's mother snapped, "Because Xingsheng Construction Materials has a deal with Tianmu Group!"
"Pfft—hahahaha!"
Wang Dahe’s friends and classmates burst into uncontrollable laughter.
The Liang family was utterly confused.
What were they laughing at?
What was so funny?
Their expressions were filled with mockery and disdain.
The Liang family burned with rage.
How dare these low-class nobodies look down on them?
"What’s so amusing?" Liang's father demanded coldly.
One of Wang Dahe’s friends raised an eyebrow. "We’re laughing at you for being blind fools who offended the wrong people."
Daring to strut around arrogantly in front of Tianmu Group’s true mastermind? They were digging their own graves.
"Offended the wrong people?"
Liang's father sneered. "You mean Wang Dahe? Or—"
His finger pointed at Lin Xuan. "Or this penniless friend of his?"
The onlookers remained silent, watching with amusement.
Now, they just had to wait and see how Lin Xuan would humiliate them.
Who knew a simple birthday party would turn into such a spectacle?
This was going to be good.
"Chairman Liang," Lin Xuan finally spoke. "You’re only acting high and mighty because your company has a deal with Tianmu Group, right? What if that deal falls through?"
"Falls through? What kind of joke is that?" Liang's father scoffed. "The details of our collaboration are already finalized. We’re signing the contract tomorrow."
He would personally visit Tianmu Group to finalize it. If only he could meet their elusive CEO face-to-face.
His secretary should’ve dug up some information on Tianmu Group’s mastermind by now.
Once he got back, he’d study the CEO’s preferences—better to flatter and get closer to the real power.
"Is that so?"
Lin Xuan’s lips curled.
"Then today, I’ll make sure your company never secures that deal."
Liang's father looked as if he’d heard the most ridiculous thing. "You, a worthless nobody, think you can sabotage our partnership with Tianmu Group? How laughable."
"Our collaboration isn’t something you can just destroy. Talking so confidently—one might think you’re Tianmu Group’s CEO."
Wang Dahe stayed silent, letting Lin Xuan take the lead.
Honestly, being protected by his best friend felt amazing.
Wang Dahe was glowing with satisfaction.
Meeting Lin Xuan was the greatest luck of his life.
Without him, he’d still be trapped by his ex-girlfriend’s lies and his so-called birth parents’ manipulation.
"You’re absolutely right." Lin Xuan nodded. "Tianmu Group was indeed founded by me."
"Oh, and Chairman Liang, I forgot to introduce myself properly. My name is… Lin Xuan."

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

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?

spital. Good news: I've bound a system. Bad news: I'm still a baby. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the middle-aged for being poor — Divorce Comeback System." "Your marriage may have failed, but your luck in love has never run dry. Your childhood sweetheart, out of contact for twenty years, reappears. Her beauty remains, yet her eyes are brimming with tears." [Listen to the childhood sweetheart's sorrowful story.] Chen Zhi looked down at the diaper he was wearing, then at the little childhood sweetheart crying her heart out beside him, and fell into deep thought. Can anyone relate? I'm having a midlife crisis at an age where even rolling over is a struggle.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. 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. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
