Shen Yuan glanced sideways at Chu Yang and blinked.
Brother, when I kick her out later, you follow her!
Make sure to confirm her location.
I'm going to launch a sneak attack!
She is a female protagonist after all, so beating her up will yield rewards.
Chu Yang: "..."
Yuanzi, just say what you want to say directly.
I can't understand the look in your eyes.
We aren't close enough to read each other's minds yet!
Liu Ruyan stood frozen in place.
He... he fired me?
And he wants to sue me?
"No, President Shen!"
Liu Ruyan hurriedly cried out, "Even though I made a mistake, I have been working very hard!"
"You work hard, but you keep making mistakes. That just proves you're blindly putting in effort for nothing!"
Shen Yuan said disdainfully.
"No, President Shen, you can't!"
Liu Ruyan let out a scream, tears streaming down her face. "I was just careless! I already apologized, and I can pay for it!"
"How can you be so cold and ruthless?"
Liu Ruyan said while sobbing.
"My Shen Group is not a charity, nor is it a place for a fool like you to play house!"
"Your so-called carelessness cost over ten million!"
"Can your apology restore the porcelain vase?"
Shen Yuan sneered. "Could you afford it even with a hundred years of your salary?"
"Special Assistant Lin, take her to settle her salary right now!"
"Everything will be handled according to labor laws. No severance pay is required because she committed a gross fault."
"Now, immediately, right this instant!"
Shen Yuan said.
"Miss Liu, please!"
Special Assistant Lin stepped forward, his attitude still somewhat polite. "Do you really want me to call security to drag you away?"
Liu Ruyan felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Weeping, amidst gazes of shock, dead silence, sympathy, sorrow, and schadenfreude...
She was taken away by Special Assistant Lin.
She was completely devastated.
Why?
What about the domineering CEO's classic line... 'Woman, you have piqued my interest'?
Weren't I supposed to pay off the debt with myself?
Why did it turn out like this?
Shen Yuan expressionlessly straightened his clothes and turned to walk up to Chu Yang.
"You bunch of slackers..."
"I don't mind you slacking off, but on one condition... get your jobs done properly!"
"Let me introduce someone!"
"Chu Yang!"
"Our company's Vice President. He was parachuted in and holds a nominal title!"
Shen Yuan smiled faintly. "Although he won't be involved in much, once he does get involved..."
"His orders are my orders!"
"Everything he wants to do is what I want to do!"
"Human Resources, send out a notice about this!"
"I don't want any blind fools bothering my little brother who went missing when we were kids!"
Shen Yuan's mouth curled up into a smirk. "The Shen family's biological brother!"
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar.
Biological brother?
President Shen has a brother?
We only heard he had a sister!
Many girls' eyes instantly lit up.
President Shen is too cold.
We want to get close to him, but he only talks about work with us.
Then this biological brother who has been missing since childhood... definitely hasn't experienced a honey trap before.
Perhaps... marrying into a wealthy family starts right now.
Shen Yuan tilted his head at Chu Yang and blinked.
Chu Yang: "..."
You really didn't need to push me to the front.
"Well..."
Walking back to the office, Shen Yuan smiled slightly. "Listen to me, hand in hand, walk with me..."
"You..."
Chu Yang immediately started cursing. "Can you be normal?"
"The system told me that Liu Ruyan is the Child of Destiny!"
Shen Yuan smiled brightly.
"Then why did you drive her away?"
Chu Yang was stunned. "Aren't there villain points? You should hit her, screw her, play with her!"
"With a protagonist like this, it's better for me not to get too close!"
Shen Yuan said with a smile. "So it's time for you to step up."
"Get lost. I don't want to go near a woman like that!" Chu Yang said.
"NO, NO, NO!"
Shen Yuan extended his index finger and wagged it gently. "You can infiltrate her inner circle."
At the very least, an Immortal Emperor reborn in front of Liu Ruyan shouldn't have his intelligence lowered.
But if his intelligence does drop...
I promise I will strike without mercy.
Chu Yang is my beloved friend, my brother!
I promise I'll secretly poison him, then stab him to death with a single strike, letting him die without any pain.
"What are you trying to do?"
Chu Yang gritted his teeth.
Shen Yuan smiled faintly. "Like this, like that."
Chu Yang: "..."
"Fine!"
Chu Yang took a deep breath. "For the villain points, I'll endure it!"
Hmph!
Chu Yang turned around and walked away proudly.
"Where the hell are you going? I haven't given you the car keys yet!"
Shen Yuan patted his pockets and tossed the keys over.
Without turning his head, Chu Yang caught them and waved his hand vigorously. "Hurry up!"
He headed straight downstairs.
Shen Yuan returned to his office, then rummaged around for a long time...
Finally, he found a golf club.
He slung the golf club over his shoulder and went downstairs.
Outside the Shen Group building...
Liu Ruyan walked out, completely devastated.
"Whew!!"
With his hands in his pockets, Chu Yang whistled, looking every bit the playboy. "Hey, beauty!"
Liu Ruyan: "..."
Get lost, you smelly loser.
"Beautiful Liu Ruyan."
Chu Yang whistled. "You were taken away too quickly just now. You probably don't know who I am, do you?"
"Who are you?"
Liu Ruyan snapped out of her daze and asked.
Chu Yang snapped his fingers. "My name is Chu Yang, but you can also call me Shen Yang..."
"I am Shen Yuan's biological brother!"
"I was just brought back!"
"After you left, Shen Yuan announced that I am the company's Vice President!"
"As for why..."
"Because half of the inheritance belongs to me!"
"He has to give me my share!"
"Even if he doesn't want to give me this Vice President position, he has to hold his nose and do it!"
Chu Yang reached out his hand and made a gentlemanly gesture. "Beauty, do we have a chance to chat?"
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up.
He's actually the Vice President?
Great!
Even without Shen Yuan, there's still Chu Yang!
I knew it! My strong yet fragile persona would definitely move a domineering CEO.
"Mhm!"
Liu Ruyan sobbed softly, "Are you going to help me?"
Chu Yang smiled brightly. "Yes, I want to help you!"
"But just now..." Liu Ruyan pouted, feeling a little wronged.
Chu Yang's face darkened.
Damn it, can't you use your brain?
I already said I was just brought back!
"Miss Liu."
Chu Yang took a deep breath, forcing his expression to return to normal.
His tone was 'gentle,' though he spoke through gritted teeth. "I went missing when I was a child!"
"I was just brought back!"
"Although I have the right to inherit the estate and the right to be Vice President!"
"After all, I just got back, and my foundation is unstable!"
"Right now, I don't have the power to face Shen Yuan head-on!"
"So, I could only watch!"
Chu Yang clenched his fists. "Now, I came to find you, Miss Liu, because I also need your help!"
"Oh!"
Liu Ruyan pouted. "I understand, I'm sorry!"
"It's fine!"
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Liu, let's go to the underground parking lot. Get in my car first!"
"We can discuss the details thoroughly, how about it?"
Chu Yang put on a flippant expression.
Liu Ruyan blushed. "I'm not an easy girl, you know!"
Chu Yang nearly choked on his own spit.
What the hell was going through this woman's head?
She claims she's not an easy girl, but once she lets loose, she turns into an absolute animal, right?
pression Bureau] Transported to a fantasy world overrun by demons and monsters, Gu Qingfeng becomes a jailer in the Demon Suppression Prison of the Great Yan Dynasty's Demon Suppression Bureau. From this point on, bizarre cases frequently occur in the Demon Suppression Prison, once known as hell on earth and infamous for its gloomy, terrifying atmosphere! Why do the demons and monsters in the prison wail miserably every night? Why has the corpse demon, capable of transforming into various beauties, donned black stockings and switched careers to become a foot massage therapist? Why has the eye demon, expert in soul-snatching and illusions, turned into a VR headset? Why is the fox spirit performing otaku dances? Are all these occurrences a twisted expression of demonic nature, or a descent into moral depravity? After peeling away layer upon layer of mystery, all clues ultimately point to a jailer named Gu Qingfeng. Gu Qingfeng: "Hehehe... My dear demons and monsters, whose card shall we flip today?"
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.”
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.
