Shen Yuan felt his body trembling.
Liu Ruyan!
Great Emperor Ruyan!
She was finally here!
Late, but she had arrived!
"Make her pay, make her freaking pay!"
Shen Yuan howled.
Chu Yang stood there dumbfounded.
Why did this idiot suddenly get so excited again?
"I'm going to take a look!"
Shen Yuan let out a quacking laugh and hurriedly stood up. "Special Assistant Lin, let's go, let's go!"
Special Assistant Lin had no choice but to follow Shen Yuan out.
Chu Yang, feeling somewhat bored, followed them as well.
In the lobby, a girl stood timidly to the side.
She was a beauty with a delicate bone structure. Her skin was a translucent porcelain white tinged with pale pink, like a newly bloomed peach petal touched by morning dew.
She had incredibly soft almond eyes with slightly drooping outer corners, and her pupils were as clear as black jade immersed in warm water.
Shen Yuan's mind was greatly shaken.
As expected, in various novels, Great Emperor Ruyan had been bad, good, kind, evil, a simp, and an aloof female CEO...
But the only thing that never changed was...
She had never been ugly!
"Ding, discovering a Common-tier Child of Destiny!"
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Yuan paused. "Child of Destiny? The female protagonist!?"
"By the way, System, what are these tiers you're talking about?"
Shen Yuan asked curiously.
"Ding: Common, Elite, Outstanding, Epic, Legendary, Mythic!"
The system explained, "For example, someone like Huang Tiandi is Mythic!"
Shen Yuan was speechless.
You're not going to make me encounter a Huang Tiandi in the future, are you?
After all, Yangzi is an Immortal Emperor reborn, and he's only at the Legendary tier.
Shen Yuan snapped back to reality and looked at Liu Ruyan.
This timid appearance was truly heart-stirring.
Liu Ruyan was the female protagonist, after all!
In that case, Liu Ruyan was a standard sweet, naive, and silly girl, plus a troublemaker.
Well, she might also be a hypocritical saint.
She was good for nothing, and she always spoke with a crying tone.
Even when walking, she would thud to the ground, also known as tripping on flat ground.
She would constantly cause trouble out of kindness, and then a bunch of men would fight to the death over her.
And I, as a standard overbearing CEO, would next become a psychopath.
I would think she was different from others just because she spilled a cup of coffee, and then say...
Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.
Then, because she talked back to me, I would feel an unprecedented sensation and say...
Very good, you are the first woman who dares to treat me like this!
Then, I would forcefully take her away, pin her against the wall, and kiss her by force.
Then I would take her back, imprison her by my side, and abuse her mentally and physically.
Maybe there would also be a white moonlight, a body double, male and female protagonists who refuse to communicate, endless misunderstandings...
Maybe she would run away pregnant and not return for years.
Finally...
Heart extraction, uh, wait, heart extraction means death...
Liver extraction, kidney extraction...
In the end, I would suddenly repent and stage the ultimate wife-chasing crematorium!
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yuan had already imagined a million-word novel in his head.
Just like right now...
She knocked over my porcelain vase, and I would look down upon her.
My eyes would hold three parts coldness, three parts mockery, three parts contempt, and one part carelessness.
Throwing out the line: Woman, what will you use to pay me back? Why don't you offer yourself?
Shen Yuan shivered, getting goosebumps all over his body.
"Ding. Host, please recognize your own identity!"
"You are a villain!"
The system suddenly said, "Please replace the protagonist in your imagination with Chu Yang!"
Shen Yuan was speechless.
That makes so much sense!
I am a freaking villain!
Thank you for reminding me!!
But... could I let Chu Yang fall into such a living hell?
Chu Yang is my dearest friend and my brother!
Liu Ruyan's waters are too deep; Chu Yang, you won't be able to handle it.
Let me do it!
Shen Yuan took a deep breath. I need to nip all of this in the bud!
Before Liu Ruyan catches the overbearing CEO's attention!!
Before the start of imprisoned love and forced love!
Before she runs away pregnant!
So...
Handle her!
Besides... an Immortal Emperor couldn't possibly be dumbed down that much!
Liu Ruyan kept her head down, her shoulders trembling.
Tears were falling down her face in streams.
She looked so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her.
Chu Yang crossed his arms and leaned against the nearby railing, watching with great interest.
Many employees around them quietly pricked up their ears.
"Liu Ruyan!"
Shen Yuan spoke up.
Liu Ruyan subconsciously raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears.
In her eyes, there was panic, and... a trace of expectation?
Shen Yuan was full of question marks.
What the heck are you expecting!
"Heh!"
Shen Yuan sneered, immediately giving off a strong overbearing CEO vibe. "Woman, this porcelain vase is worth over ten million. What will you use to pay for it?"
"President Shen, I, I, I'm sorry!"
"I was just in a hurry to deliver documents, I didn't notice it!"
"I know it's very expensive. Even if I sold myself, I couldn't afford to pay for it!"
"I can work to pay off the debt!"
Liu Ruyan said carefully.
"Work to pay off the debt?"
Shen Yuan scoffed. "How many years do you plan to pay it off?"
Liu Ruyan looked as if she couldn't afford it and was ready to use herself to pay off the debt at worst.
Looking weak yet stubborn.
"Until I retire!"
Liu Ruyan said in a low voice.
"So you're treating me like a bank loan?"
Shen Yuan clicked his tongue. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"Ah!?"
Liu Ruyan was dumbfounded.
Chu Yang burst into laughter.
You are an idiot!
Shen Yuan gave a sidelong glance, his gaze sharp and incredibly cold.
Damn it, I'm acting here!
Can you not break character and laugh?
"Still want to work?"
"As an intern, it's okay to be a bit clumsy, but being careless and reckless is unacceptable!"
Shen Yuan sneered. "From what happened today, I can conclude that you lack a sense of risk management!"
Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with confusion.
What is he talking about?
"Low work efficiency, let's not even talk about that!"
Shen Yuan scoffed. "Look at yourself, what are you doing crying all day long?"
"This is a company, not your home!"
"If you want to cry, go home and cry to your mother!"
Shen Yuan let out a sneer.
Liu Ruyan stiffened in place.
"Special Assistant Lin, give me Liu Ruyan's file!"
Shen Yuan reached out his hand.
"Yes!"
Special Assistant Lin handed a file to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked at it for a second and fell into deep thought.
What kind of freaking person is this?
She's only been interning here for half a month...
Late for six days!
Spilled coffee seven times!
Splashed water all over the Marketing Director!
Mopped the floor when she had nothing to do, tripped the Market Department Manager, and sent him to the hospital.
Made mistakes delivering documents eight times.
Keeping work records... not a single freaking one was right!
Shen Yuan silently raised his head, his expression hard to describe.
Silence was his mother tongue.
Chu Yang curiously leaned over, took a glance, and also fell into deep thought.
How did a creature like this manage to grow up alive and kicking?
"Special Assistant Lin, read it!"
Shen Yuan handed the file to Special Assistant Lin.
Special Assistant Lin immediately started reading aloud.
The eavesdropping employees also fell into deep thought.
Is this person here to work, or to act as an undercover saboteur?
"Liu Ruyan!"
Shen Yuan took a deep breath. "Given the above work record, I can conclude!"
"You are completely unfit to work for the Shen Group!"
"Furthermore, you have caused severe damage to the company's operations and assets!"
Liu Ruyan's eyes widened in sheer panic.
Was he going to...
No, it wasn't supposed to be like this!
Shouldn't he be moved by my strong yet vulnerable expression?
Shen Yuan bellowed.
"Fire her!"
"Contact the legal department!"
"Sue her!"
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!
