Jiangcheng University, National Key Laboratory.
Inside the spacious and brightly lit laboratory, various precision instruments emitted low humming sounds. Lines of code cascaded down the computer screens like a waterfall.
Chen Yusheng wore a pure white lab coat over a form-fitting black knit sweater. The loose lab coat didn't hide her proud figure at all; instead, it stretched over breathtaking curves. A pair of rimless anti-blue-light glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, adding a touch of unapproachable, scholarly charm to her already cold and stunning aura.
Right now, she was staring intently at the computer screen. Her fair, slender fingers flew across the mechanical keyboard as she performed the final optimization of the underlying control algorithm for the First Generation Maternal and Child Company's all-terrain smart stroller.
At the workstation next to her, Li Xingya, also wearing a lab coat, was obediently organizing a pile of complex experimental data.
Li Xingya was a student at Jiangcheng Normal University. Ever since Su Bai arranged for her to work under Chen Yusheng, she had become Yusheng's most capable little research assistant. Today, she wore a pleated skirt under her lab coat, paired with white thigh-high socks that wrapped around her well-proportioned legs, exuding a youthful and lively student vibe.
"Sister Yusheng, I've finished cleaning the data for this set of sensors. The error rate has been kept under two-thousandths." Li Xingya handed a printed report to Chen Yusheng, her tone carrying a hint of flattery and admiration.
Chen Yusheng took the report and glanced over it. A satisfied smile appeared on her usually cold face. "Good job, Xingya. You're improving faster and faster now."
Receiving praise from the official girlfriend made Li Xingya feel sweet inside. She knew that her excellent internship environment was entirely due to Su Bai's grace, so she went out of her way to please Chen Yusheng, the "big sister." The two of them got along extremely well in the lab.
Just as the two girls were about to continue their work, the heavy soundproof door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Who told you to come in without knocking..." Chen Yusheng frowned slightly, about to scold the intruder, but when she saw clearly who it was, her cold eyes instantly bloomed with a gleam of pleasant surprise.
"Su Bai? What are you doing here!"
Li Xingya also trembled slightly, her large, watery eyes immediately curving into crescents as she cried out in surprise, "Boss!"
Su Bai walked into the lab with his hands in his pockets, taking leisurely steps. Looking at the two girls in front of him—both wearing lab coats, vastly different in style yet equally breathtakingly beautiful—a wicked smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"What, can't I come and see my two top researchers?" Su Bai walked over to Chen Yusheng's workstation and naturally reached out to wrap his arm around her slender, easily-grasped waist.
Chen Yusheng leaned into Su Bai's embrace, took off her anti-blue-light glasses, and gave him a slightly reproachful look. "You're always so busy, practically invisible most of the time. How do you have the free time to visit the lab today?"
Li Xingya also came over. She skillfully walked behind Su Bai, stretched out her small hands, and began gently massaging his broad shoulders, looking exactly like an obedient little maid.
"I just finished handling some business at the company and dropped by to hang out with you." Su Bai enjoyed Li Xingya's massage while casually tapping the tip of Chen Yusheng's cute nose.
"Hang out with us?" Chen Yusheng smiled helplessly. "Our algorithm is at a critical stage right now. We don't have time to entertain you, young master."
"Never mind the algorithms for now. I came today because I have something major to discuss with you." Su Bai pulled over a swivel chair and sat down, smoothly pulling Chen Yusheng onto his lap.
Chen Yusheng let out a soft gasp, her pretty face blushing slightly, but she didn't struggle. She simply sat obediently on Su Bai's lap and asked curiously, "What major event could make you come all the way here in person?"
Li Xingya also stopped what she was doing, pricked up her ears, and blinked her big eyes at Su Bai.
Su Bai looked at the two of them, his tone relaxed yet carrying an undeniable sense of dominance. "I plan to build a top-tier private school in Jiangcheng."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.
Chen Yusheng and Li Xingya looked at each other, their pupils shrinking drastically, their faces filled with unbelievable shock.
"Build... build a school?!" Chen Yusheng was the first to recover. Her cherry lips parted wide, and her voice stammered slightly. "Su Bai, you're not joking, are you? Building a school isn't child's play. It requires massive funding and complex networking resources!"
Li Xingya also gasped, feeling a tingling sensation on her scalp. As a normal university student, she knew all too well how difficult it was to build a school.
Su Bai looked at the girls' shocked expressions and smiled faintly. His tone was as calm as if he were discussing what to have for dinner. "Funding isn't an issue. I've already decided that this school will cover all stages from kindergarten to high school, and the hardware facilities will all meet the world's top standards. As for the budget, I plan to make an initial investment of one billion. If that's not enough, I can add two or three billion at any time."
These casually tossed numbers exploded like a heavy bomb in the minds of Chen Yusheng and Li Xingya.
Chen Yusheng felt a wave of dizziness. Although she knew Su Bai was extremely wealthy and could easily pull out hundreds of millions to acquire a company, that was ultimately a business investment. But now, Su Bai was actually going to throw billions into building a school!
What terrifying financial power! What a crazy move!
"You... you really have more money than you know what to do with," Chen Yusheng swallowed hard, looking at Su Bai in shock.
However, after the initial shock, Chen Yusheng's brilliant mind immediately started racing. She took a deep breath and analyzed seriously, "But then again, if you really have that much spare cash, building a school is at least a great cause that benefits society. Educational resources are indeed too strained right now. If there could be a top-tier private school built without regard for cost, it wouldn't just solve many educational pain points, but it would also be a massive boost to your personal social reputation."
Hearing Chen Yusheng's analysis, Su Bai nodded in appreciation. "My genius girlfriend really does have great foresight."
At this moment, Li Xingya, who had been in a state of extreme shock, finally snapped back to reality.
Her beautiful big eyes suddenly sparkled with intense excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"Boss! Sister Yusheng is right, this is absolutely a brilliant idea!" Li Xingya's small face flushed red with excitement, and even her breathing became rapid.
She quickly walked up to Su Bai, rested her hands on his knees, tilted her head up, and said urgently, "Boss, I'm a student at Jiangcheng Normal University. I know the current education and employment market all too well!"
"You have no idea how hard it is for education majors to find jobs nowadays! The cutthroat competition has reached an outrageous level!" Li Xingya grew more agitated as she spoke. "In the past, a bachelor's degree was enough to get into a good school. But now? Even an ordinary primary or middle school in the city explicitly requires a master's degree as a baseline in their recruitment brochures. If it's a slightly better key school, the applicants are all PhDs from top-tier domestic universities like Tsinghua and Peking, along with a massive crowd of graduates returning from prestigious overseas colleges!"
Li Xingya swallowed hard and continued, "There is no shortage of teachers right now; in fact, there's a massive surplus! Even for those contract substitute teaching positions with meager salaries and endless late-night overtime, there are hundreds or even thousands of people fighting tooth and nail for them!"
Hearing this, Su Bai raised an eyebrow. "So, what are you getting at?"
"What I mean is, boss, since you want to build the ultimate top-tier private school with an unlimited budget, we hold the absolute upper hand when it comes to recruiting faculty!"
Li Xingya excitedly waved her small fists, her eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "As long as we offer sufficiently tempting compensation packages, like a starting annual salary of a million, plus generous relocation allowances and research funding, forget about elite PhDs. Even those master teachers who have taught in prestigious public schools for years, academic department heads, and top-tier education experts will be breaking down the doors to get in!"
"We can afford to be extremely picky and demanding! We don't want the ordinary; we only want the absolute best! We can assemble the most luxurious dream team of teachers in all of Asia, or even the entire world!"
Li Xingya's words instantly heated up the atmosphere in the laboratory.
Chen Yusheng was also infected by Li Xingya's enthusiasm. She stood up from Su Bai's lap, walked over to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and began quickly sketching and writing.
"Xingya is absolutely right. Besides the teaching staff, we can completely break away from tradition in our curriculum design," Chen Yusheng said rapidly as she wrote. "We can introduce the most cutting-edge STEM education concepts. I could even spin off a portion of the Genesis Maternity and Infant research project to serve as the high school division's sci-tech innovation practice base."
"Yes, exactly!" Li Xingya hurriedly chimed in. "And art and sports! We can offer high salaries to hire retired Olympic champions as PE teachers and renowned artists as art directors. We need to let the students access the highest echelon of elite resources right inside the school!"
"And the school's architectural design absolutely cannot be as rigid as traditional schools. We can hire world-class design masters to build the campus into a futuristic community full of technological vibes and artistic flair!"
"The cafeteria has to be top-notch too! We must bring in a Michelin-starred chef team to guarantee the ultimate in both nutrition and taste!"
Chen Yusheng and Li Xingya grew increasingly excited as they discussed, a fanatical light shining in both their eyes. Surrounding Su Bai, they talked over one another, eagerly bombarding him with their brainstormed ideas and strategies.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

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...
