Qin Tian ultimately forced himself to swallow his anger.
The main reason was... he truly couldn’t beat Jiang Che. The last time at LingChe Group, Jiang Che had punched him so hard that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.
He had no choice but to endure!
After all, he had the investment system. Since Jiang Che was targeting him, he could simply move to another city, right?
Qin Tian gave Jiang Che a serious look.
Although the system’s words were harsh, they were true. His current abilities were indeed trash, and he needed to improve his personal skills. Combined with the investment system, he believed that within five years, becoming a billionaire wouldn’t be a problem.
Then he’d come back to settle the score!
......
But just as he stepped out of Qiangsheng Group’s main gate, he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“What the hell happened to my car???”
Qin Tian rushed toward his Range Rover, only to find it reduced to a pile of scrap metal, with all four wheels missing.
Instantly, Jiang Che’s smug grin flashed through his mind.
What a bastard! A real piece of work!
That Range Rover was the most valuable thing he owned.
He had bought the top-tier model, spending nearly three million, and it hadn’t even been a few months. Selling it could have netted him over two million.
He had been counting on selling the car to reinvest and make a comeback!
But now, everything was gone!
The worst part was, with Jiang Che’s influence, even if he reported him to the police, it probably wouldn’t do any good.
Jiang Che’s power was just too immense!
“I’ll remember this grudge!”
Qin Tian gritted his teeth in anger.
“Oh? Isn’t this our company’s largest shareholder? How did you end up like this? What happened to your Range Rover?”
A head poked out from the security booth, wearing a smug grin.
Who else could it be but the security guard, Chen Hao?
Following the principle of “if you can’t beat them, join them,” he had learned from Jiang Che how to annoy people.
“You—you just wait!”
Seeing Chen Hao, Qin Tian was so furious he could barely see straight. Without looking back, he stormed off.
Meanwhile, Chen Hao leisurely whistled a tune, but suddenly... he remembered the pleading look in his sister Chen Ningshuang’s eyes, and his good mood instantly plummeted.
“Shuang’er... I’m getting stronger every day. Just wait, I’ll save you!”
Chen Hao had long since realized his unique trait: as long as he worked as a security guard, it was like he was leveling up in a game. Even without actively training, he gained experience points every day.
After two months at Qiangsheng Group, his cultivation level was now nearing the peak of the early Hualin stage.
...
After leaving Qiangsheng Group, Qin Tian headed to the stock market.
“Thankfully, I bought ten million yuan worth of Qiangsheng Group stocks a while back. I should have made a few million by now~”
But when Qin Tian confidently checked the stock market, he found that his stocks were now trapped.
“Damn it! How did this happen? That damn Jiang Che... it must be his doing again!”
His mentality shattered. In just about ten days, he had gone from being a billionaire to a broke nobody.
[Ding! This week’s investment opportunities have been updated.]
[In the next three weeks, Yuanche Group’s stocks will continue to rise, achieving a miracle of three consecutive weeks of limit-up. Host, seize this opportunity.]
Qin Tian’s eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.
This was a golden opportunity, but he didn’t even have ten thousand yuan to his name now.
He didn’t need much—just 500,000 yuan... and he could turn things around immediately!
Just then, a deep voice sounded beside him.
“Young man, out of money for stocks?”
“Hmm~” Qin Tian instinctively nodded.
He then looked up to see a burly man in a suit standing in front of him, wearing a gentlemanly smile.
“I’ll cover your stock investment!”
The suited man patted his chest.
“You... you’ll cover it?” Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.
“Give me your phone—”
Qin Tian didn’t know why, but the words seemed to have a magical effect.
By the time he came to his senses, the suited man had already completed the operation and handed the phone back to him.
“1.5 million yuan??? Brother, where did this money come from?”
Qin Tian exclaimed in shock.
The suited man smirked, “This is your reserve fund from the ‘Crazy Loan’ platform. Brother, your credit limit is very high. Most people only get 150,000 yuan, but yours is ten times that. You must have been a big boss before. Our platform trusts you!”
“So I took the liberty of withdrawing the entire 1.5 million yuan reserve for you...”
Qin Tian was dumbfounded. After the suited man’s long explanation, he finally understood.
This guy was a loan shark?
Did you even ask for my permission before taking out a loan for me?
And you took the liberty to do it? I should beat you to death!
But then again... he really needed the money right now. A loan was a loan.
How high could the interest be? Could it possibly outpace how fast he could make money in the stock market?
“Thank you... huh? Why’d you run off so fast?”
Qin Tian was about to thank the suited man, but when he turned around... the guy was already gone.
“Cough, well, he’s in the loan shark business. If he didn’t run fast, he’d have been beaten to death long ago!”
......
At Shilan School.
“Jiang Che... how did you do on the exam?”
As soon as they left the exam hall, Ye Mengyao clung to Jiang Che’s arm, completely oblivious to the stares around her.
The once-proud young lady had now become a lovestruck girl.
“Just average, but I should still take first place.”
At that moment, Qin Qiaoqiao also walked over. Seeing Ye Mengyao holding Jiang Che’s arm, she naturally stood to the side and took Yu Wan’er’s hand.
After all, they were at school. Two girls clinging to the same guy... it just wasn’t proper.
If they were at home, she would have already pounced on him.
Yu Wan’er glared at Jiang Che, her cheeks puffed up in jealousy!
At school, she had to maintain her cute, naive, and sweet lolita persona. No one knew about her relationship with Jiang Che; they all just thought she was Ye Mengyao’s best friend.
So at school, her “Yao Yao” was the main girl, while she was just the pitiful little follower trailing behind them.
“Hmph~ Jiang Che, don’t get too cocky! This time... you might not take first place.”
Yu Wan’er sneered. Even though she and Jiang Che were practically inseparable, she still found him irritating and couldn’t go a day without scolding him.
“Oh? You don’t know, do you? You’ve been too busy indulging in women. Your title as the top student has already been taken~”
Seeing Jiang Che’s surprised expression, Yu Wan’er couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh? Last time I scored 742. Who could possibly beat that?”
Jiang Che was genuinely curious. Anyone who could surpass that score was likely a cheat too.
Yu Wan’er loved seeing Jiang Che flustered and immediately went for the kill.
“Hehe, you don’t know, do you? There’s someone in our grade who’s way better than you. What top student? You’re already second place~”
Seeing Yu Wan’er like this, Ye Mengyao quickly covered the little lolita’s mouth.
Wan’er, don’t you realize 80% of your misery comes from that mouth of yours?

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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!"
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.
