Once his health was mostly recuperated, Tang Yu left the hospital and drove home to rest.
The auction was to be held in a week, so he wasn't in a hurry.
When he got home, Ling Han was in his room.
Seeing Ling Han in his room at this time, Tang Yu was surprised and asked, "Why haven't you gone to bed yet? Are you planning to sleep here tonight?"
"I had something to do during the day and came to tidy up the room now," Ling Han explained, sticking her tongue out cutely.
Not that she hadn't cleaned up during the day.
She was just worried as Tang Yu hadn't returned home so late and hence, was waiting for him.
She already knew of Lu Junzhuo's arrival in Suzhou.
Him being deep-seated within the Dragon Soul Organization made him a greater threat than Ye Chen.
Although she knew Tang Yu was inscrutable, she couldn’t help but worry.
The Dragon Soul Organization was incredibly concealed and their eight war generals were known to be their peak forces.
But no one knew how many threats the inscrutable old man in the organization had nurtured.
The only relief was that she was a part of Ye Chen's faction in the organization.
So, she needn’t lend a hand in whatever Lu Junzhuo planned to do next in Suzhou.
The downside was she wouldn’t be able to gather intel on Lu Junzhuo and wouldn’t be able assist Tang Yu.
"Wow, you're working so hard. Should I reward you something? How about a cosplay photoshoot for you tomorrow?" Tang Yu rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
Ling Han immediately blushed and shook her head vigorously.
Last time she lost a bet while playing a game with Tang Yu and he decided to do a photoshoot for her.
And she had to wear a cosplay costume of Ahri.
That was... quite daring.
"Ah, young girls should record their beauty more," Tang Yu said in regret, seeing Ling Han's resistance.
[Was hoping she would do a few more shoots.]
[Oh well, I don’t want to appear like a fiend, exploiting innocent girls.]
[I should focus on uncovering the evidence regarding your parents and find a suitable time to tell you.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Ling Han felt moved deep within.
Tang Yu was still concerned about her matters.
"Then Tang Yu, you should rest early. I'll head back now."
After bidding Tang Yu goodnight, an elated Ling Han retreated to her room to rest.
...
Teng Wang Group.
Wang Yixue was lounging around her office table, deeply chuckling while looking at a photo frame.
The frame housed a young boy and a girl's picture, both reminiscent of their college romance days.
While engrossed in memories, she abruptly looked up at her secretary and asked,
"Zhou Zhou, why do you think Tang Yu and I are such a good match?"
"It's fate," Zhou Zhou replied sincerely.
"Good answer! Your salary is increased by ten thousand."
Wang Yixue gave a thumbs up appreciatively.
"I just spoke the truth; such a reward is undeserved."
"Increase it by twenty thousand."
Zhou Zhou did her best to suppress her laughter and quickly steered the conversation towards business.
"By the way, Ms. Wang, Boss Li from Mingzhu April Group wants to discuss a collaboration with you," Zhou Zhou reminded.
"That fat woman?"
Wang Yixue recalled Boss Li, a pretty famous wealthy lady of Mingzhu, rumored to have a net worth spanning into the thousands.
She has an e-commerce platform and wants to merge with one under the Teng Wang Group, to vie for a top three spot in the industry.
After contemplating for a moment, she nods, "Okay, did she mention a time?"
"Boss Li said anytime is fine."
"Let's schedule it this afternoon then."
Wang Yixue snapped her fingers, quickly taking out her phone to call Tang Yu.
After connecting the call, she cheerfully greeted, "Baby, come to my company. We’ll go to Pearl to discuss business this afternoon.”
"Discuss what?"
"The e-commerce platform."
Wang Yixue elaborated on the situation.
The Teng Wang Group's e-commerce platform is a high-end platform primarily featuring luxury and foreign products.
And the second largest shareholder of this platform is the Tang Group.
So if they were to merge, naturally they’d have to negotiate with Tang Yu.
After confirming over the phone, they decide to meet at the airport.
After hanging up, Tang Yu heads towards the airport.
"System, what has been adjusted in this plot?"
Tang Yu murmured in his mind while driving.
He recalled that in the original book, Wang Yixue goes to negotiate business but ends up drugged by her business partners.
Just as she was about to be assaulted, Dragon King Ye Chen showed up to vanquish the villain.
Afterward, naturally, there was a process to rid of the poison.
A typical satisfying plotline, really.
"Ding, the plot has been adjusted to…"
The system promptly conveyed the updated plot to Tang Yu.
After understanding the revised storyline, Tang Yu merely narrowed his eyes.
Of course, Ye Chen's role was swapped out for Lu Junzhuo.
He thought for a moment, then sent a message to the Grim Reaper squad.
At this moment, the importance of the underlings came into light!
…
By the time Tang Yu arrived at the airport, Wang Yixue was already there.
Such a stunning beauty standing at the airport entrance.
It made many risk being beaten by their girlfriends just to steal more glances.
Especially a certain CEO from a listed company, who was practically starstruck seeing Wang Yixue.
Who’d think he could encounter such a beauty while on a business trip in Suzhou and Hangzhou to sign a contract?
He chucklingly walked to Wang Yixue, extending his hand for a handshake.
"May I get to know you, miss? I am the boss of Jiuhe Group, Liu…"
“Scram. Looking like a toad, older than my dad, who gave you the face to get acquainted with me?”
"Trying to be a sugar daddy? You wouldn’t even make it as a locksmith selling keys at three for ten."
"A few billion-worth ruined company, what’s there to show off."
Wang Yixue responded with a barrage of insults, making the middle-aged man shudder.
After ending her tirade, Wang Yixue cheerfully ran toward Tang Yu, waving and shouting.
"Honey, I'm here."
Tang Yu, who was briskly approaching, almost tripped and fell.
Her calling him 'honey' caused quite a few men in the airport to throw hateful glances his way.
After being severely scolded, the middle-aged man noticed Tang Yu.
Isn't this Tang from the Tang Group?
This trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou was for signing a contract and securing an order from the Tang Group.
So he quickly covered his face with his briefcase and made a disappointing retreat.
"Who's your husband? Stop shouting randomly."
Upon reaching Wang Yixue, Tang Yu said helplessly.
"You bullied me last night," Wang Yixue said, clinging to Tang Yu's arm, feigning coy.
"But wasn't I at home last night?"
"True, but I dreamed of you, so you're responsible."
Tang Yu widened his eyes in surprise. Could someone be responsible for what happens in dreams?
"That's a problem, there's so much that I'm responsible for."
"Last time, I got too greedy and dreamed of four at once."
"......"
Wang Yixue glared at him fiercely.
Greedy? No one dares to compete with me!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
