"Our company's benefits aren't bad, right?"
"As long as she becomes a regular employee, the minimum base salary starts at eight thousand. Adding all those miscellaneous benefits..."
"She'd make at least a hundred and fifty or sixty thousand a year!"
Shen Yuan tilted his head. "But our company's hiring threshold is also high!"
"Coming to work for the richest man's company right after graduation..."
"She's really dreaming!"
Shen Yuan looked at Special Assistant Lin. "You didn't agree to it, did you?"
Special Assistant Lin: "..."
"It seems, probably, maybe, possibly... no!"
Special Assistant Lin hastily took out his phone and started looking through the files.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with certainty, "No, really not!"
Shen Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Sponsoring her is just sponsoring her!"
"But, weren't we just talking about osmanthus cake?"
Shen Yuan looked surprised. "How did the topic suddenly get derailed?"
Special Assistant Lin scratched his head. "President Shen, that osmanthus cake was sent by Jiang Anran!"
"After she received the sponsorship, she made some peach blossom pastries and sent them over!"
"I thought we shouldn't waste her painstaking efforts, so I brought them to you to eat, and you said they were pretty good!"
"After that, Jiang Anran sent over different varieties every day!"
"Osmanthus cake, peach blossom pastry, lotus pastry, flower cake, egg yolk pastry, pineapple cake, mung bean cake, red bean cake, water chestnut cake, jujube paste cake, Dingsheng cake, Yunpian cake, Gorgon fruit cake..."
"She sent them in all sorts of varieties. Seeing that you liked eating them and it didn't delay her studies, I accepted them!"
"And when you weren't here, you told me to eat them!"
"So I ate them!"
Special Assistant Lin touched his nose. "There shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?"
Shen Yuan: "..."
Oh no!
I've been entangled by this female college student!
A picture once again emerged in Shen Yuan's mind.
Jiang Anran... Although he didn't know what she looked like, it didn't stop him from imagining a girl!
Jiang Anran standing in the sunlight, shouting at him with a face full of grief and indignation, Shen Yuan, you have no heart!
She would say tearfully, I make pastries for you every day and take care of your daily life (this really didn't happen).
I thought my dedication over the past year had finally moved you!
I thought you would like me a little!
Shen Yuan shivered.
"Check, check immediately!" Shen Yuan shouted.
"Okay, give me three minutes!"
Special Assistant Lin took out his phone, started sending voice messages, and then hurriedly dashed out.
Sure enough, in three minutes...
Special Assistant Lin came in carrying a pile of documents.
"President Shen, that girl named Jiang Anran isn't doing very well!"
"She works three jobs a day to earn money to make pastries for you!"
"Also, look at this!"
Special Assistant Lin opened his phone, clicked on an interface, and handed it to Shen Yuan.
"What is this!?" Shen Yuan took a curious glance.
What on earth was all this?
[Thankful to him for giving me three hundred thousand, allowing my mother to have her surgery. I made pastries to thank him, and he accepted them.]
[The pastries weren't returned. I heard he personally said they were delicious!]
[I will continue making pastries for him!]
As Special Assistant Lin continued scrolling, Shen Yuan saw...
[I'm very happy. The osmanthus cake I put so much effort into making today seems to be very delicious!]
[I'll continue making them for him!]
[It's been over two months, he must like me!]
[Checking in, today is another day of making pastries for my boyfriend!]
[Three jobs a day, no problem. Anran, you can handle it, all to make pastries for your boyfriend.]
[Keep it up, Anran, your boyfriend loves the pastries you make the most!]
Shen Yuan's heart beat violently, and he suddenly thought of a sentence...
I thought we were already boyfriend and girlfriend!
Shen Yuan's face darkened with imaginary black lines. "What is all this nonsense?"
"Jiang Anran's little essays!"
Special Assistant Lin's mouth twitched. "She probably considers you her boyfriend!"
Shen Yuan was silent for a second. "Who the hell did I provoke?"
"Do I even know her? At best, I just know there's a person named Jiang Anran!"
"I've never met her, she's never met me, and we don't even have each other's contact info!"
"What kind of romance is this!"
"Even if it's a spiritual romance, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan at least fucking knew each other!"
Shen Yuan's face was full of black lines. "Have I ever met her?"
He suddenly turned around and looked at Special Assistant Lin. "You scoundrel, you intentionally set me up, didn't you?"
Special Assistant Lin's mouth twitched. "President Shen, I rely on you for my salary!"
Shen Yuan's mouth twisted. "No, I get it now!"
"Special Assistant Lin, oh Special Assistant Lin, I underestimated you! According to Jiang Anran's logic..."
"We used to spend more than eight hours a day together, for several years!"
"What does that count as?"
"Cohabitation?"
Shen Yuan grabbed Special Assistant Lin's hand. "So, half of my company belongs to you too, right?"
The joy in Special Assistant Lin's eyes could no longer be hidden, and he grabbed Shen Yuan's hand in return.
"President Shen, are you serious?"
Special Assistant Lin smiled like a dog.
"Get the hell out of here!"
"Do you have a problem with me as your boss?"
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes. "Why are you always dreaming of such beautiful things?"
"Isn't this what I learned from Jiang Anran?"
Special Assistant Lin chuckled.
"I'm so fucking done!"
Shen Yuan spread his hands. "Notify her immediately, right now, to stop sending pastries!"
"Over the past year, however much we've eaten, calculate the cost according to the highest market price and pay her back!"
"Son of a bitch, working three jobs a day just to prepare pastries for me, is she brain-dead?"
"Her family's financial situation is bad. Working part-time is fine, but shouldn't she use the money for her family?"
"With this perseverance..."
"If she opened her own pastry shop, she'd be making a huge profit by now, wouldn't she?"
Shen Yuan exhaled. "Forget it, I better leave quickly!"
Who knows if... I'll encounter something even more melodramatic at the company.
I realized...
Ever since I transmigrated, I seem to be surrounded by brain-dead protagonists.
System, this is definitely your doing!
Otherwise, things the original owner hadn't experienced in over twenty years...
How long have I even been here!
And I've experienced so much?
Am I a walking elementary school student of death?
It's definitely you, system, pulling the strings.
After all, judging from the novels I've read, anyone bound to a system is bound to encounter trouble the moment they step out the door!
Tropes, it's all fucking tropes!
I can already imagine the future scenes...
Jiang Anran will point at my nose and say, you have no heart!
Ah yes, yes, yes, I have no heart, can we change the line!
Jiang Anran will say, with your abilities, as long as you wanted to check, you could find out in a minute, but you didn't, because, you have no heart!
Shen Yuan: "..."
Am I someone with a lot of free time?
Okay, I do have a lot of free time, but...
Even ordinary people wouldn't fucking care where a few little pastries came from, right?
"I'm leaving, leaving, gotta go now!"
Shen Yuan jumped up from his boss chair.
Then his phone rang again.
Shen Yuan looked down.
It was the number he had just hung up on.
Shen Yuan had a bad premonition in his heart!
Could it be the Jiang Anran we were just discussing?
Where did she get my phone number?
"Shen Yuan!"
That female voice spoke again, "Give me five hundred thousand!"
"Who the hell are you?!" Shen Yuan snapped.
"Do you know what day it is today?" the female voice asked.
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes. "Why the hell would I care what day it is!"
"Today is my birthday!"
The female voice sounded fragile and delicate, as if she were on the verge of tears. "I can't believe you don't even remember!"
"None of my damn business!"
Wait a minute, that wasn't Jiang Anran!
Seriously, did I unknowingly provoke some other entitled princess again?

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
