Chen Hao was startled by Qin Tian.
"It's you again?"
Enemies meeting is a red-eyed affair.
Qin Tian stood there with his hands behind his back, his face haughty as he looked down at Chen Hao.
"Just a moment ago, I personally invested 1 billion yuan in Qiangsheng Group, and now I am the largest shareholder of Qiangsheng Group!"
How about that? You little security guard didn't expect this, did you? I, your big daddy, am now the largest shareholder of the company!
"You can pack your bags and leave now! I, in my personal capacity... have fired you!"
Chen Hao was completely stumped.
What was going on?
Could this jerk really become the largest shareholder of the company?
Was this a joke?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"You becoming a shareholder? Hahaha... that's hilarious."
But soon, Chen Hao was proven wrong!
"Shh... keep it down. The board just had a meeting, and this Qin Tian really invested 1 billion yuan and became the largest shareholder."
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
The largest shareholder? Just him?
"How the hell could you be the largest shareholder? Jiang Che, are you useless? The company is practically theirs now!"
Chen Hao was furious.
Although he detested Jiang Che, he would rather see Jiang Che than watch this jerk gloat in front of him.
Qin Tian’s face showed a hint of confusion. Jiang Che? Why did that name sound familiar?
But for a moment, he couldn’t recall where he had heard it.
Besides, wasn’t Qiangsheng Group Leng Ningqiu’s company?
If he couldn’t figure it out, then why bother thinking about it!
"Did you hear that? You’re fired! Leave now, right this instant!"
Chen Hao: "......"
Damn it, was he about to get humiliated again? He had always humiliated others... who would have thought that one day he would become someone else's stepping stone for showing off?
This feeling was truly unbearable!
"You... don’t gloat too soon. I’ll be back!"
Just as Chen Hao was feeling utterly frustrated, a company executive stepped forward.
"Mr. Qin Tian, this security guard is Jiang Che’s confidant. Jiang Che arranged this position for him, so you have no right to fire him."
Qin Tian: "???"
What the hell? Where did this so-called Jiang Che come from?
Wasn’t he the largest shareholder of the company? Couldn’t he fire a puny security guard?
"Who is this Jiang Che?" Qin Tian frowned and asked.
"Oh, Qiangsheng Group was founded with Jiang Che’s investment. He is the chairman and the ultimate decision-maker. This security guard’s younger sister is a woman close to Jiang Che, so you have no authority to fire him."
Qin Tian was stunned. "The chairman of the company isn’t Leng Ningqiu?"
"No, no, no. Leng Ningqiu is just the acting CEO. The real chairman is Jiang Che."
Damn it, it felt like he had fallen into a massive trap.
"Why didn’t you tell me before I signed the contract?"
"Xiao Li told you, didn’t he? You just didn’t listen?"
Qin Tian: "......"
Meanwhile, Chen Hao was also dazed. He had already been preparing to pack his bags and leave, but then this happened.
Was he... benefiting from Jiang Che’s influence? Because of Shuang’er (Chen Ningshuang), Qin Tian couldn’t touch him?
In a daze, he faintly recalled his father’s words: The name of Jiang Che is very powerful. As long as Shuang’er is favored by Jiang Che, our Chen Family Village will rise with the tide.
It seemed he was beginning to understand the meaning of those words!
No, no... how could he think that way? Shuang’er was forced into this! He had to get stronger and rescue his sister from Jiang Che!
"You, this little security guard, I must fire you today!" Qin Tian’s temper flared, and he pointed at Chen Hao’s nose and cursed.
Chen Hao, being a chosen one himself, wouldn’t stand for such humiliation.
He didn’t care about consequences and immediately invoked Jiang Che’s name.
"Hah! My sister is Jiang Che’s most cherished woman. Do you think you’re mighty just because you invested 1 billion yuan? Do you even know who Jiang Che is?"
As Chen Hao spoke, he got more and more into it. Not to mention the ancient martial arts family, Jiang, just being the son of Hangcheng’s richest family alone would crush Qin Tian to dust!
Watching Qin Tian’s bewildered expression, Chen Hao felt a rush of satisfaction. Jiang Che might be a scoundrel, but his name sure was useful.
Shuang’er, brother is sorry. For now, I’ll borrow that bastard’s name. When I become strong... I’ll save you!
......
Chen Ningshuang was utterly distraught because, just moments ago... Jiang Che had taken her first kiss.
However... what terrified her even more was that she didn’t feel any repulsion in her heart!
"Jiang Che... you bastard!"
Chen Ningshuang, still a 19-year-old maiden, had tears welling up in her eyes, her aura of innocence tugging at one's heartstrings.
Jiang Che licked his lips. "Shuang’er... your family has reaped so many benefits using my name. Isn’t one little kiss justified?"
Chen Ningshuang’s body trembled with anger. Only she knew what she truly felt deep down.
What she had felt wasn’t repulsion... it was anticipation!
Being by Jiang Che’s side for so long, she had even lost hope, clearly knowing that there was no escape. With her looks... Jiang Che would eventually take her innocence.
And living in the Jiang family’s household, she was constantly influenced by their ways. These past few nights, she had dreamed... of that scoundrel, Jiang Che.
Jiang Che pulled her into his arms, his hand growing restless.
"Shuang’er, you are the pride of Chen Family Village. Just because you’re with me, every Chen family member has benefited."
Chen Ningshuang struggled slightly. "You’re lying... and my brother, my brother will never be corrupted by your favors."
But Jiang Che almost laughed aloud at that.
He brought his face close to Chen Ningshuang’s neck, whispering gently into her ear, "Are you sure?"
Chen Ningshuang’s ear was her most sensitive spot, and she shivered from head to toe.
"I... I’m sure! My brother will never succumb to your sweet talk."
"Hehe..." Jiang Che smirked.
His laughter sent a chill down Chen Ningshuang’s spine.
Then, Jiang Che took out his phone and played a video.
It was footage of Chen Hao and Qin Tian’s confrontation.
"Hah! My sister is Jiang Che’s most cherished woman. Do you think you’re mighty just because you invested 1 billion yuan? Do you even know who Jiang Che is?"
"The son of Hangcheng’s richest family! Qiangsheng Group is just a small company he casually founded. Wanting to crush you is a piece of cake. You still dare to fire me? Don’t you believe I can have my sister whisper in his ear, and you’ll be finished?"
Indeed, Chen Hao had exemplified the term 'borrowed prestige' to its fullest.
Chen Ningshuang froze, unable to speak... even her brother had... become like this?
All her unwavering determination... had turned into a complete joke!
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)

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
