"Tongtong, congratulations." Jiang Manting was genuinely happy for Tongtong as well.
For these past few years, Tongtong's company had been suppressed by Lin Qingwan, and the results of their hard research had all been stolen by Lin Qingwan's company.
Now her sister could finally see the light after the storm.
"Sis, it's all thanks to Xiao Xuan. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan, my company would still be under pressure. After this incident, it's bound to develop well. All the promotional efforts Lin Qingwan made before have essentially paved the way for our company." Jiang Yutong's face was full of smiles.
This time, they had promoted their company's products at an extremely low cost and even caused Lin Qingwan's company to go bankrupt.
And!
Those who used Lin Qingwan's company's skincare products would also need their company's products to restore their faces to normal, allowing them to profit once more.
Jiang Yutong's heart swelled with pride. Xiao Xuan was truly impressive, able to come up with such a perfect plan.
As expected of her, Jiang Yutong's, brother!
Jiang Manting nodded. "Xiao Xuan's abilities are indeed formidable. Both you and I fall short compared to him. One day, he will rely on his own efforts alone to reach heights even greater than the Jiang family."
Given time, he would create a vast, unattainable commercial empire.
Lin Chang, who valued profit so highly, upon seeing Xiao Xuan's achievements, might not know if he would regret it.
Even if they regretted it, it was useless. Xiao Xuan would never return to the Lin family.
Jiang Yutong nodded emphatically. "Sis, I think so too."
Just now, Xiao Xuan was already someone she looked up to.
Sigh.
If only Xiao Xuan cared about money. If he were the type who sought wealth, she probably would have already acknowledged him as her brother.
Precisely because Xiao Xuan lacked nothing and desired nothing, that was the most difficult part.
Night Garden.
Lin Xuan put down his phone.
He dove into his space and began typing frantically.
During this period, he had taken a break from updating. As soon as he opened the comment section, readers were desperately urging for new chapters.
Su Hua also came back early from work.
"Miss." Upon Su Hua's entry, the butler saw her and spoke respectfully.
"Where's A Xuan?" Su Hua asked.
"Young Master Lin should be in his bedroom," Butler Wang replied.
"Mm, I see."
Su Hua glanced at the time and found it was still early.
It had always been A Xuan cooking meals for her; she also wanted to make a meal for A Xuan to taste.
She then went to the kitchen.
"Miss?" The chef, who was still chopping vegetables, looked at Su Hua in confusion.
The young miss disliked the smell of cooking fumes very much; she never entered the kitchen before.
Only when Young Master Lin was cooking would the young miss see and enter the kitchen to keep him company.
"Today, you teach me, and I'll cook this meal," Su Hua said.
The chef looked at Su Hua with astonishment.
The young miss was actually going to cook personally...
This, this, this was truly unbelievable.
The chef thought for a moment, realized something, and understood.
No doubt, the young miss was going to cook for Young Master Lin.
The young miss liked Young Master Lin so much; it was normal for her to do anything for him.
The chef smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, Miss, I'll teach you right away."
The young miss was so capable.
Surely, cooking wouldn't be difficult for her.
"Mm."
Su Hua nodded.
A maid handed Su Hua an apron. "Miss, here you are. With this apron, you won't get your clothes dirty."
"Okay."
Su Hua put on the apron.
The maid looked at Su Hua wearing the apron and couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
The previously aloof President Su, wearing an apron, actually gave off quite a virtuous, wife-and-mother vibe.
Not bad, not bad.
The maid couldn't help but nod slightly.
"Miss, let's start by making a dish Young Master Lin likes—fish-flavored shredded pork. I'll instruct, and you follow," the chef said.
Su Hua stood in front of the wok and followed the chef's steps one by one.
"President Su, first add a bit of salt."
As soon as he finished speaking, a phone ringtone sounded.
The chef's child at home had a fever, and it happened to be a fever. The call from home was probably to update him on the child's condition.
The chef cautiously asked, "President Su, I have an urgent matter. May I go answer the phone first?"
"Go ahead."
Su Hua was in a very good mood today and was especially agreeable.
"Thank you, President Su."
The chef said, "President Su, just add a spoonful of salt to stir-fry for now. I'll be back soon."
Su Hua glanced at the seasonings and confidently added a spoonful of sugar.
In less than a minute, the chef returned and continued guiding Su Hua in cooking.
This meal took about an hour and a half to prepare.
It was already 5:30 PM.
Every step Su Hua took was completed according to his instructions.
The chef was confident and didn't taste the dishes.
He had been cooking for over twenty years. As long as the young miss followed his steps, there absolutely couldn't be a mistake.
Moreover, the young miss was so capable; she must have a good aptitude for cooking.
Lin Xuan was upstairs.
At five o'clock, he asked Butler Wang, "Butler Wang, has Hua Bao returned yet?"
Butler Wang naturally knew Su Hua was cooking in the kitchen.
This was Su Hua's first time cooking for Lin Xuan.
Butler Wang wanted to give Lin Xuan a surprise and deliberately shook his head in response. "The young miss hasn't returned yet. She might be back late today."
"How late is 'late'?" Lin Xuan inquired.
Butler Wang replied, "Probably around eight or nine o'clock."
Eight or nine o'clock.
Lin Xuan's brows relaxed.
By that time, the matter with Lin Qingwan should be mostly resolved, and he would be back too.
"Alright, I understand." Lin Xuan nodded.
He hung up the phone.
Another thirty minutes later.
Lin Xuan left Night Garden.
Su Hua had just finished preparing the meal.
"Miss, when Young Master Lin eats the meal you made, he's sure to praise your cooking skills, right?" the chef beside her said with a smile.
"Mm."
The corners of Su Hua's lips lifted slightly.
She sat at the dining table and began waiting for Lin Xuan to come down.
Butler Wang said respectfully, "Miss, I'll go call Young Master Lin down for dinner now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Su Hua looked at the table full of dishes, feeling somewhat nervous.
She wondered if the food she made would suit A Xuan's taste and, moreover, if A Xuan would like it...
Su Hua felt like she had just finished an exam and was waiting for the teacher to grade it.
Upstairs.
Butler Wang kept knocking on the door. "Young Master Lin, the young miss has returned. You can come down for dinner now."
No response came from inside the bedroom.
Butler Wang knocked on the door again.
Still no reply.
Butler Wang had a very bad feeling.

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

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)

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?
