"Mhm."
Lin Qingwan's face was also brimming with an unstoppable smile.
She was also brimming with confidence regarding the development of the Supreme series skincare products.
Lin Qingwan was completely unaware that their company was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
This skincare line would also become the death knell for their company.
Shangqing University's new semester began.
Lin Xuan, without taking an entrance exam, was directly admitted as a postgraduate student at Shangqing University.
To attract students, Shangqing University had used Lin Xuan for early promotional campaigns.
Many high-achieving students had applied to Shangqing University.
Looking at the list of admitted students, the university president couldn't stop smiling.
"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent. Lin Xuan really is a prized asset our school needs to cherish."
He was curious why the Lin family had treated Lin Xuan so poorly.
It turned out that Lin Xuan had been raised in an orphanage, and the lack of emotional connection with the Lin family was one reason. The biggest reason, however, was that Lin Xuan was considered a jinx, while Lin Li was considered a lucky star.
What nonsense!
How was Lin Xuan a jinx? He was clearly the lucky star!
In his opinion, the real jinx was Lin Li!
With such excellent students, their university was sure to achieve significant accomplishments in scientific research.
Speaking of research...
If only Student Lin Xuan would contribute his efforts...
The president stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Student Lin was too, too lazy. If asked to directly participate in a research project, he would definitely refuse.
He needed to think of a good method.
Offer Lin Xuan money?
No, with such a large company, Student Lin Xuan certainly didn't lack money.
Fame and honor?
Student Lin Xuan didn't care about those at all. Furthermore, when Student Lin Xuan solved the Oli problem at the National College Computer Competition, that act alone had already made him famous in the computer science community.
Student Lin Xuan didn't lack such empty titles either.
It seemed the only person Student Lin Xuan cared about was Boss Su.
Boss Su...
Thinking of something, the president's eyes lit up!
Got it!
Using this method, Student Lin Xuan would surely agree!
A smile appeared on the president's face.
The academic dean looked at the president curiously.
"President, what happened? You look so pleased," the academic dean inquired curiously.
The president's smile gave him a sneaky feeling, as if he was plotting something.
The president said with a beaming smile, "It's nothing much. I just figured out how to get the most out of someone."
The academic dean grew even more curious. "Who do you want to get the most out of?"
The president answered, "Student Lin Xuan."
"Lin Xuan?" The academic dean looked surprised.
This Lin Xuan was someone Boss Su liked. Did the president dare to pressure him?
He had some nerve.
Boss Su was extremely protective of those close to her.
If Boss Su found out the president was pressuring Lin Xuan, his tenure as president would be over.
"That's right."
The president nodded with a smile.
"Student Lin Xuan's abilities are just sitting there unused. Wouldn't that be a waste? I plan to have Student Lin Xuan participate in our university's research projects."
The academic dean's eyes lit up.
Student Lin Xuan was so capable. With his help, their university's research achievements were sure to be remarkably impressive.
"So, President, which research project do you plan for Student Lin Xuan to join?" the academic dean asked.
The president replied, "Any research project, he can pick whichever he likes. Even if he picks one outside his major, it's fine. I believe with his ability, he can complete it excellently."
The president now had a kind of blind faith in Lin Xuan, feeling he was capable of anything.
The president's face was all smiles. "With Student Lin Xuan here, we won't have to worry about student recruitment for the next few years. With better students, more accomplished individuals will emerge in the future, attracting even more good students. It's a virtuous cycle."
Now, Yundu University was completely and utterly left behind by Shangqing University.
Relying on the power of a single student to attract countless excellent students and firmly suppress Yundu University—these were things he hadn't dared to imagine before.
From now on, he really needed to cherish and support this Lin Xuan properly!
Chen Ling was also admitted to Shangqing University.
The day before the semester started.
Chen Ling called Lin Xuan.
"Do you need something?" Lin Xuan said coolly and indifferently.
He didn't have a very good impression of this Chen Ling.
Several times, because of Chen Ling, Hua Bao got jealous and lured him to bed, and he felt utterly drained.
If not for the orphanage director's instructions, he wouldn't have bothered with Chen Ling at all.
Chen Ling said excitedly, "Brother Lin Xuan, I got into Shangqing University as a postgraduate student. From now on, we'll be students at the same school."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Mhm, congratulations."
When they were kids, Chen Ling's grades were terrible; she was practically the class ringleader. He never expected her grades to be quite good now.
He believed with her results, she could live a decent life on her own.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I'm not familiar with Shangqing University yet. Do you think... could you accompany me to the university tomorrow?" Chen Ling tentatively asked.
Lin Xuan answered expressionlessly, "Sorry, I can't accompany you tomorrow."
Hua Bao really doesn't like Chen Ling.
If he accompanied Chen Ling to Qinghua University, Hua Bao would definitely get jealous if she found out.
Chen Ling bit her lip, so aggrieved she was about to cry.
"Brother Lin Xuan, didn't you promise my dad you would take care of me? After dad passed away, you're the only close person I have left. Couldn't you just come keep me company on a day like tomorrow, the start of school?"
Lin Xuan remained unmoved.
"Chen Ling, I have a girlfriend. It's not appropriate for me to be too involved with you. As for taking care of you, I'll make sure you're provided for. Don't think about anything else."
"I'll arrange for a friend of mine to accompany you to the university. He's also a graduate of Qinghua University. You can ask him if you have any questions." After saying this, Lin Xuan hung up the phone.
Chen Ling clutched her chest.
It just felt so painful, so very painful.
Tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.
Why were she and Brother Lin Xuan childhood sweethearts?
Brother Lin Xuan even said he would marry her when they were kids.
Why was he being so distant with her now?
However, she wouldn't give up.
Brother Lin Xuan must be acting this way because he's completely bewitched by that vixen.
She would definitely snatch Brother Lin Xuan back from that vixen's side!
Su Hua, who was just about to enter the bedroom from the study, overheard Lin Xuan's conversation with Chen Ling.
Knowing that Lin Xuan wanted to cut ties with Chen Ling without hesitation, her rosy lips couldn't help but curve into a slight smile.
Ah Xuan is being quite obedient.
She walked up behind Lin Xuan, who was looking at his phone and didn't notice her at all.
Su Hua bent down, her soft arms encircling Lin Xuan's neck.
"Ah Xuan." Her voice carried a note of relief. "You're so good."
It's a good thing Ah Xuan could fall for her and was willing to keep his distance from other women.
Otherwise, she didn't know what crazy things she might do.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
