Mu Qingying never expected that Xu Mu's visit this time wasn't for those boring romantic or sexual matters.
Instead, it was to ask her to manage the Xu Group.
Her heart was filled with shock and deep emotion. They had clearly been rivals of the Xu family before, yet Xu Mu was willing to let bygones be bygones.
Of course, she had never truly seen Xu Mu as an enemy. Her family had ended up in this state entirely because of Ye Chen.
"Xu Mu, what the hell are you playing at? We are the Xu family's sworn enemies. It's exactly because of you that our family was ruined. Now you want my daughter to manage your company? Aren't you afraid it will go bankrupt?"
Mu Yuansheng's face was also full of disbelief, completely unable to understand Xu Mu's intentions.
"I'm not afraid."
Xu Mu glanced at Mu Qingying and smiled.
In the original plot, the two most significant members of Ye Chen's harem that he met early on were naturally Xu Ningbing and Mu Qingying.
After Xu Ningbing became an ancient martial artist, she stopped managing the company.
Ye Chen then handed the company over to Mu Qingying to manage. The plot stated clearly that compared to Xu Ningbing, Mu Qingying, who had graduated with a degree in the field, possessed a much sharper business acumen.
In the later stages, Mu Qingying's main task was managing Ye Chen's business empire for him.
Leaving such a massive company solely to Feng Yue would exhaust her.
It was better to add Mu Qingying to the mix. With two vice presidents managing things together, it should be much easier.
"Xu Mu... I, my reputation isn't good right now. If I go to your company as a vice president, won't it affect your reputation?"
Mu Qingying stepped in front of Xu Mu, her hands clasped in front of her, her thumbs twiddling nervously.
"It won't. If the media asks, just say you were set up by Ye Chen. Tell them he ran away in the end, leaving your Mu family to bear all the responsibility."
Xu Mu looked at Mu Qingying. "I believe in your eloquence, and I believe in your character."
[Favorability +20]
Mu Qingying's tears rolled down her cheeks, but they didn't fall directly to the ground; instead, they were caught by her terrifyingly large assets.
"Okay, I agree. Then, can you advance my salary? My father's illness..."
"Is one million enough?"
Xu Mu interrupted Mu Qingying.
"It's enough! Of course it's enough!"
"Then I'll give you a million first, and deduct it from your salary later."
Xu Mu said with a smile.
Seeing his daughter weeping tears of joy, Mu Yuansheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Since his daughter was happy with it, he naturally wouldn't object.
"Xu Mu, my daughter is going to be a president now. What is her salary?"
Mu Yuansheng looked at Xu Mu and asked.
"There are two options you can choose from. First, we can go by the current average standard for a vice president in Jiang City."
Xu Mu paused. "Second, a monthly salary of ten thousand, with five thousand deducted to pay off the debt. As long as she performs well, within a year, I will provide pills to help Mu Qingying become an ancient martial artist."
"What? An ancient martial artist?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingying's eyes flashed with light. "Xu Mu, I want to become an ancient martial artist."
"You need to think this through carefully. If you choose to become an ancient martial artist, your take-home pay will only be five thousand a month. To pay off the one million you owe me, you'll have to work for over a decade."
Xu Mu said to Mu Qingying.
"I've thought it through! I want to become an ancient martial artist."
Mu Qingying stated firmly once again, without the slightest hesitation.
"Do you have any objections, Uncle?"
Xu Mu glanced back at Mu Yuansheng.
"A dying old man like me certainly won't stand in the way of my daughter's progress."
Mu Yuansheng's expression was calm, but monstrous waves were already surging in his heart.
Becoming an ancient martial artist... ever since he learned of this term, he had always wanted to step into that realm.
But no matter how much money and wealth he spent, it had all been for nothing in the end.
Who could have imagined that his daughter would obtain it so easily?
"Alright, since you've both agreed, report to the company tomorrow morning."
Xu Mu took out his phone. "I'll transfer the money to you now. Besides the medical expenses, find a new place to live and buy a car. I don't want people thinking I exploit my employees."
[Favorability +30]
Mu Qingying was full of gratitude. "Okay."
...
Xu Mu returned to the wet market, bought a bag of apples, and drove home.
He didn't buy too many; apples couldn't be stored for long.
Returning to the villa, Xu Mu headed to the underground illusion array. He found that besides Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo, Feng Yue was also sparring with Tong Guoguo.
He walked over and took the apples out of his spatial ring.
"Guoguo, here are your apples. I picked only the best, at least I can guarantee there are no bugs inside."
When buying the apples, Xu Mu had already inspected them using his perception.
If there were bugs inside, he would have noticed.
"Okay."
Tong Guoguo walked over and took an apple first.
"Oh, right, Feng Yue, I have something to discuss with you."
Xu Mu sat on the grass and waved Feng Yue over.
Feng Yue wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and walked toward Xu Mu with a smile. "What is it, Boss?"
"Xu Ningbing is going to the sect for experiential learning and has placed me in the president's seat. I plan to make you the vice president. From now on, the company's main affairs will be in your hands."
Xu Mu said to Feng Yue, "As for the few companies you currently manage, you can find an assistant. They must remain independent from the Xu family. That way, if any unforeseen changes happen in the future, you'll be able to escape unscathed."
Feng Yue smiled and asked, "Is it really a good idea to hand over such a large group to me?"
"I also found another vice president. The two of you will work hard together. Report to the company tomorrow."
After Xu Mu finished speaking, he took out the prize from winning the recent martial arts tournament, the Profound Yin Jade.
This item was only the size of a palm. He planned to crush it into smaller pieces for the people around him to wear.
Although the Profound Yin Jade was somewhat of a chicken rib, it was still somewhat useful overall. It enhanced mental strength and could resist mental attacks, even though it was useless to Xu Mu himself.
As for the three ruins he had obtained, Xu Mu also planned to set off tomorrow.
Such a large sect certainly wouldn't deceive people; the ruins were highly likely to be unexploited.
But since the rewards had been given out, they would definitely head there immediately.
...
Early the next morning.
Xu Mu and Feng Yue headed to the Xu Group at a leisurely pace. Mu Qingying was already waiting at the company entrance early on.
Like Feng Yue, she wore a professional uniform. Her usual single ponytail was simply tied up, revealing her exquisite oval face.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was still the terrifying assets on her chest.
"Xu Mu... no, President Xu."
Upon seeing Xu Mu, Mu Qingying quickly walked over to greet him. During this, she also looked at Feng Yue beside him and gave a slight nod.
Feng Yue also smiled.
Xu Mu led the two of them to Xu Ningbing's president's office. The yoga mat and punching bag were still placed to the side.
He sat in the boss's chair, looking at the two beauties in front of him, especially since they were both wearing uniforms.
Their figures were outlined perfectly. The search history on Immortal Shuiyan's phone from before clearly showed that this was exactly the kind of thing he wanted to see—big melons and peaches.
"Boss, I didn't expect Miss Mu to be your woman too."
Feng Yue casually glanced at Mu Qingying's chest. "What a great figure."
Hearing this, Mu Qingying's cheeks flushed slightly. She hurriedly waved her hands, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not..."
"Why pretend? If you aren't, would the Boss hand the Xu family over to you to manage?"
Feng Yue bumped Mu Qingying with her shoulder. "Don't be afraid, we still have other teammates. When the time comes, we'll definitely make him surrender."
She had already been persuaded by Ye Tong and was now standing on a united front with him.
She was also desperately eager to see Xu Mu get taken down a notch.
The mere thought of someone as formidable as Xu Mu wearing a look of sheer embarrassment, forced to make excuses about not performing at his best, struck Feng Yue as incredibly amusing.

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! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... 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.”
