The twists of fate are truly unpredictable.
Looking back now, if Chen Yusheng hadn’t ended up at Jiangcheng University by sheer coincidence, how could she have ever met Su Bai?
This must be destiny’s finest arrangement.
The team leader cautiously observed for a while and, realizing Chen Yusheng didn’t seem upset with him, finally let out a sigh of relief.
At first, he’d thought she might be the boss’s girlfriend making an "incognito visit" to inspect the company’s atmosphere.
But now, it seemed she was just here casually, dropping by for no particular reason.
And yet—this girl really knew her stuff!
The team leader had struggled for ages with an issue, but she pinpointed the problem in an instant.
It was a small detail, but noticing the hidden ones like that proved real practical skill.
Those academic types buried in research papers often lacked hands-on engineering prowess.
Clearly, this young woman wasn’t just book-smart.
The team leader wanted to ask more technical questions, hoping to glean some insights from this genius.
But before he could, the new boss arrived.
First came the director, clapping his hands to get everyone’s attention.
He announced that the new boss was coming to meet the team.
Instantly, the already tense office atmosphere erupted into chaos.
Several long-time employees didn’t look pleased.
They were already thinking: if the new boss seemed unreliable, they’d better start job-hunting immediately—better to jump ship before getting laid off.
Voluntarily switching jobs was a whole different story from scrambling after being fired.
Amid the disorder, the general manager managed to regain control, instructing the team leaders to prepare their reports for the upcoming meeting.
Unbeknownst to them, Su Bai had already arrived.
He stood behind the one-way glass of the general manager’s office, quietly observing the scene in the main workspace.
Honestly?
The general manager wasn’t half bad.
From Su Bai’s perspective, the team’s morale was already fraying.
Their AI product was stuck in development limbo, and they couldn’t secure funding.
But at least the general manager could keep things somewhat together.
That was commendable.
Startups were always a mess—chaos was the norm.
Then there was that slightly awkward but well-meaning algorithm team leader.
Hmm. Investing in this company was the right call—not just a reckless gamble.
The foundation was solid; they just lacked a core vision.
Letting Chen Yusheng tinker here, working on what she loved, was practically a guaranteed win.
…Well, no, financially speaking, it was a guaranteed win.
But Su Bai was more concerned about Chen Yusheng’s growth.
A genius AI prodigy needed a relaxed, nurturing environment.
Meanwhile, the other two team leaders—finance and marketing—were sweating bullets.
They dreaded the new boss hearing their reports, flying into a rage, and immediately replacing them.
Only the algorithm team’s resident awkward nerd, Old Wu, wore a calm smile.
"Seriously, Old Wu, how are you so unshaken? Do you know what the new boss is like?" the finance lead whispered.
Old Wu just smirked mysteriously. "I’ve never met him, but I’m guessing he’s decent. After all, his girlfriend’s that impressive."
"…Huh?"
(Regarding Chen Yusheng fixing the bug earlier…)
Aside from a handful of nearby employees at the time, no one else knew about it.
So most people were left completely baffled.
But Old Wu was utterly convinced—after all, someone like Chen Yusheng, with her unmistakable intellectual aura, would naturally attract admirers who valued knowledge and technical expertise.
And that respect was no small thing.
To many wealthy individuals, so-called "cutting-edge technology" was nothing compared to pulling strings, greasing palms, or diving into resource-heavy industries for quick profits.
That might be the reality, but if every rich person in society took shortcuts and refused to invest in real industry—
How could society ever progress?
Chen Yusheng radiated the intense, no-nonsense vibe of a top-tier STEM prodigy.
The kind of spoiled, empty-headed rich kids out there would never be able to handle her.
She was blunt, after all—her way of speaking was nothing like the sweet-talking, sugar-coated charm of those social-climbing models.
So whoever her boyfriend was, he must truly appreciate the brilliance in her!
Old Wu’s mental image of Su Bai, who hadn’t even appeared yet, was overwhelmingly positive.
But when Su Bai finally stood before them, even Old Wu was stunned by his presence.
This… this level of handsome?!
Compared to him, all those male influencers and idols looked like amateurs.
After listening to the three team leads’ reports, Su Bai gave a slight nod.
Thanks to his Master-level skills in finance and business management, he wasn’t the impulsive young man he used to be.
He could make professional judgments now.
Overall, the company had no major issues.
No hidden financial disasters, no contractual landmines—nothing.
Their current struggles boiled down to two things: a lack of manpower and a lack of funding.
Manpower was easy—let Chen Yusheng take charge, and she’d undoubtedly produce something impressive.
As for the funding issue…
"Alright, everyone’s on the right track—keep at it. I won’t pretend to understand the cutting-edge science of AI myself… For now, I’ll inject 10 million in cash. Keep moving forward at your own pace."
Su Bai announced it without hesitation.
The finance lead blinked in surprise, then broke into a grin. "Mr. Su, does this mean you’ve already secured investors for us?"
Cash was hard to come by these days—every investor was playing it safe.
Who would’ve thought this impossibly young, ridiculously handsome new boss would solve their cash flow crisis so effortlessly?
After all, their product was still in R&D—a pure money pit with zero returns in sight.
But Su Bai shook his head. "No need for outside funding. It’s coming from my own pocket."
"…Huh?"
"I’ve got too much idle cash lying around lately. I chose this company because I wanted to spend money on something meaningful. Plus," he gave Chen Yusheng’s hand a light squeeze, "it’s a way to help her gain experience."
The finance lead’s eyes widened in realization.
So this was a rich guy funding his girlfriend’s internship—wait, no.
Hold on.
Since when did "getting your girlfriend an internship" mean buying the whole company?!
Did you teleport here straight out of some cheesy CEO drama?!
The entire room collectively winced.
Anyone in tech knew how brutal the internship hunt was for students these days.
Without solid internship experience, landing a well-paying job after graduation was nearly impossible.
The competition was fierce—top-tier university credentials, competition wins, project experience, stellar grades—all of it mattered.
And then there was the boss’s girlfriend, who didn’t just bring funding to the team—she literally bought the whole production studio for herself!
But then again… one look at Chen Yusheng’s face and—
Hmm... instantly, the jealousy faded away.
With her tall, elegant demeanor and flawless beauty,
those signature black-stockinged long legs,
and the fact that she’s a genuine academic prodigy—
honestly, if I were a wealthy guy, I’d happily spend money on her too...
No wonder everyone suddenly understood Su Bai’s perspective.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
o a martial world and obtained a system that allowed him to draw one entry per year. Unfortunately, all he drew were useless white-tier entries. The probability for high-quality entries was extremely low, with the highest-tier mythic entry having a mere 0.001% chance! To increase the probability, he had to improve his martial realm, but he lacked the innate talent for cultivation. At the age of eighteen, Chen Yi fell into the hands of a gang and was forced into hard labor. Just as his life seemed destined for a bleak end, on his 18th entry draw, he actually pulled a mythic entry—Simulator! In the simulation, he could also draw one entry every year that passed, and upon ending the simulation, he would inherit all entries and his martial realm! In his first simulation, Chen Yi struggled desperately just to survive, knowing that living one more year meant one more entry draw! Finally, with hair turned white, he drew the entry he had longed for—Low-Grade Innate Talent! "Hahaha! Don't bully the old and poor! Time to cultivate and inherit my cultivation base!" ... From then on, Chen Yi continuously simulated and drew entries, his martial realm soaring higher and higher! Epic, legendary, and even mythic entries were gathered into his collection one after another! "What demon race or devil race? What dark turmoil? I don't know anything about that. They just charged at me screaming 'How can you possibly ascend to immortality?!' and got stuck to my fists, unable to be shaken off. Blind spots, speed bumps... go talk to my simulator. We're all struggling to survive out here. I'm trying so hard, so how are they still alive?"
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
