Assistant Li looked at Ji Zhengqing with a sense of despair. Has his boss finally figured it out? Where were the decisive methods he usually displayed to dominate the business world? Thank goodness his boss wasn’t like this at work, otherwise, the Ji Group would definitely be on the verge of collapse.
His boss really was a pure-hearted novice who had never dated.
Assistant Li stared at Ji Zhengqing with anticipation. After a long while, Ji Zhengqing raised his head and chuckled, “This must mean that she doesn’t see me as an outsider.”
Assistant Li: “?”
The assistant couldn’t help but crane his neck towards Ji Zhengqing, as if he thought he had misheard.
What?
Not seeing him as an outsider? Is this how you don’t see someone as an outsider? Well, then he can too!
Assistant Li’s voice trembled as he said, “But… but there are no engagement dresses in the posted photos.” They were all for participating in the game’s latest event, boss!
Ji Zhengqing’s expression was calm as he said, “I was the one who told her to keep our engagement a secret, she is simply honoring the agreement between us.”
Assistant Li’s worldview collapsed: “……”
Stubborn! President Ji clearly understood what was happening, yet he was still being stubborn!
At that moment, Assistant Li really wanted to message He Fan and ask how the former assistant to President Ji was doing with Miss Xu Yao. What to do? He suddenly felt like switching jobs.
*
Xu Yao didn’t actually care about the comments on Weibo; she was currently explaining things to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye listened carefully, jotting down Xu Yao’s instructions. He had always completed Xu Yao’s requests without question.
He Fan, however, asked in surprise, “Miss Yaoyao, Ming Chan is Chairman Mu’s former daughter-in-law. The message you just instructed to send, is it something even Chairman Mu doesn’t know about?”
Xu Yao placed the greeting card into Lu Ye’s hands, asking him to pass it to Chairman Mu when he visited the ailing man who was gravely ill due to Mu Xiyuan’s actions.
Xu Yao smiled and said, “There are indeed some things that Uncle Mu might not know.”
After all, she was the divine landlady with a god’s perspective!
In the original novel, Ming Chan died in a house fire, and after the autopsy report came out, it was revealed that she was the daughter of Chairman Mu and his wife—yes, it was that melodramatic.
Xu Yao watched Lu Ye leave. She was actually waiting for Ji Zhengqing’s reply, but after waiting for a long time, what she received instead was the flowers Ji Zhengqing ordered online. Instead of the typical baby’s breath meant to save the taste of a clueless straight man1, the bouquet looked very high-end and sophisticated.
Holding the bouquet, Xu Yao sat by the pool, her legs immersed in the clear water, and finally took the initiative to send Ji Zhengqing a WeChat message.
[AAAA Professional Rental Little Xu: Don’t you have anything to say to me?]
To be honest, Xu Yao had always held an indifferent attitude towards this marriage—it wouldn’t matter if it happened, but she wouldn’t be sad either if it didn’t.
So even if her fiancé found out she was using the people he arranged for her to work on a game, Xu Yao wasn’t afraid. Rather, she was puzzled as to why he hadn’t taken the initiative to say anything to her!
There was no text reply from him; instead, Ji Zhengqing sent her a voice message. His voice, reminiscent of a cello, had an indescribable quality to it when transmitted through the electronic device. He said, “I’m very happy to have you as my future fiancée.”
Xu Yao listened several times, unable to help but laugh. She hadn’t manipulated President Ji; it was he who wanted to be her big fat sheep all along.
After a long while, Xu Yao replied, “The flowers are beautiful, I like them very much.”
#Xu Yao Shining Star Largest Investor#
#Xu Yao’s World’s Only Limited Edition#
Xu Yao’s Weibo post attracted immense attention, with her dozen or so photos being shared wildly across major social media platforms both domestically and internationally.
The terrifying level of attention that top-tier Chinese actress Fei Jin struggled to gain abroad was effortlessly achieved by the retired ordinary person Xu Yao, leaving nothing but envy in its wake.
Insiders of the international fashion scene repeatedly scrutinized Xu Yao’s photos, unwilling to miss even the slightest detail.
As expected of a masterpiece, it was truly stunning! From the intricate pattern designs to the waistline tailoring, every stitch and detail exuded artistry. Moreover, they discovered that Xu Yao, this Eastern girl, truly had an incredible figure.
Why were fashion models needed? Because models can showcase the beauty of fashion to the fullest, and they found that Xu Yao alone could rival countless models on the runway! She could master any style.
After seeing Xu Yao’s photos, one couldn’t help but want to wear the masterpiece, dreaming of donning such exquisite creations.
Ordinary girls might not dare to dream of such luxury clothing, but some rich second-generation heiresses gazed at Xu Yao’s photos, feeling as if millions of ants were quietly crawling all over their hearts, their desire reaching a peak.
They no longer merely wished to obtain the masterpiece through a small game—they wanted to wear it themselves!
[Official Shining Star Weibo Account: Dear players, the stars have felt your enthusiasm! A new event is about to begin, and we welcome all players to participate and create the most beautiful outfits! [Image]]
The game’s official account saw its Weibo followers surge by nearly a million, becoming the undisputed number one on the daily active users ranking list in the gaming sector.
Countless seasoned gamers, upon seeing that Weibo post, immediately thought the game was rushing things. The International Across the Globe event had just begun, and they were already launching a new event. Players would surely get fatigued and burned out.
But when they saw the new event image, they wanted to slap themselves.
Sorry, they were just too naive!
The latest event for Shining Star is the Fashion Styling Competition, and allows players to freely mix and match outfits to compete. The top X thousand stylists worldwide would win custom outfits from international designers, including Master Absalom.
Xu Yao’s outfit was a globally unique custom piece; even if players managed to obtain it, there would be slight differences in the details, making it truly one of a kind.
Once the event was announced, player enthusiasm skyrocketed. Even as night fell, a massive influx of new players rushed in, all eager to start styling their outfits.
Huh? My dressing room has too few clothes to mix and match? Then what are you waiting for? Pull more! Just go pull for outfits! Once you get them, you can start matching again!
Huh? You need small scissors to pull for outfits? What if I don’t have enough small scissors? Then rush to recharge more blue diamonds! Let’s get seven or eight of those 648-yuan gold packages first!
On Jiuzhou Game Network, Shining Star dominated various ranking charts, firmly holding the top spot and leaving the second place far behind. This terrifying scene would be talked about in the gaming community for many years to come.
[So, does that mean a player like me, who has no money but has luck, also has a chance to win a physical copy of a masterpiece after matching?]
[I heard these haute couture pieces from the masters cost hundreds of thousands of yuan each, right? Even if I sell it after getting it, I’ll still make a huge profit! Participating is a sure win!]
[Hahaha, it’s all about participation! I also want to join; who knows, I might get lucky.]
[I’m already numb, my girlfriend wants me to download the game to compete for a world-class designer outfit for her…]
[I’ve gotta say, damn—that’s impressive. This game is really like a sow wearing a bra2, one set after another. As long as they can keep up the follow-through, this game could seriously become a phenomenon!]
[Xu Yao is incredible, her vision is so sharp! Who would invest in a dress-up game before? How much did she invest? Tens of millions?]
[Tens of millions? How naive!]
The rumours circulating online that Ming Chan received tens of millions in investment from Xu Yao are all false. Xu Yao, this terrifying landlady, actually poured in 150 million yuan!
Game developers in the industry were left dumbfounded. Can you believe it? That’s 150 million, not just a dollar fifty, okay?! They were practically kneeling before Xu Yao.
Investors specializing in investment ventures couldn’t help but regard this as a classic case, and it was without a doubt that Xu Yao could easily be included in investment textbooks.
This investment by Xu Yao could earn her billions in a single month! Is this how landlords are just lying back and collecting rent these days?
Xu Yao felt quite innocent; she really just didn’t want her tenants to leave. After all, finding a new tenant with good character is quite a hassle.
Investment?
It was really just a casual thing. After all, she just wanted to provide her tenants with a warm home.
Whether it was Xu Yao’s legal team successfully winning the lawsuit against Runda and Junyi or Ming Chan’s game, both brought Xu Yao an immense amount of traffic.
Mu Xiyuan could hardly believe that Ming Chan had actually made that crappy game popular?
A dress-up mini-game had sparked a frenzy both domestically and internationally, raking in billions of RMB in less than half a month since reopening, and it was still wildly gaining traction. But this game was actually just one that had been secretly given to Ming Chan by his adoptive father, who felt sorry for her.
Mu Xiyuan looked at the chaotic group chat and then at the endless reports online about Xu Yao and Ming Chan; these two had suddenly become the center of attention.
He suddenly felt like a joke… was he even worse than an orphaned girl from a rural town?
Now, wouldn’t his adoptive parents think Ming Chan was better than him?
Mu Xiyuan found it extremely hard to accept this reality. He angrily slammed his fist on the brown wooden desk in front of him, a fire of rage flickering in his eyes, nearly burning away the last remnants of his sanity.
What should he do now?
Suddenly, a series of gasps came from outside. Mu Xiyuan, who was already furious, picked up the ashtray on his desk and hurled it at the door, shouting, “Shut up!”
Too many people had resigned from the company in the past few days. Almost every day someone knocked on his office door, but it was only to quit.
The ceramic ashtray shattered on the floor, producing an extremely jarring sound.
“No skill, but quite a big temper!” A familiar voice filled with anger came from the doorway.
Mu Xiyuan quickly looked over, and to his surprise, saw it was his adoptive parents. His adoptive father was wearing a hospital blue-and-white striped gown under his suit jacket, clearly indicating that they had rushed over from the hospital.
Seeing his adoptive mother supporting his adoptive father, Mu Xiyuan suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of crisis well up from within him. He hurried forward, “Dad, why aren’t you resting well at the hospital? Why did you come here at this time? I’m worried about you.”
Chairman Mu kept coughing and sneered, “You little beast, if I hadn’t come over, you would have squandered my entire fortune!”
Chairman Mu was genuinely disappointed in this adopted son. It seems he simply wasn’t cut out for running a company.
Putting aside his poor character and secret involvement with rental loans, the fact was that Runda was indeed in a crisis, with even the stock price in free fall. But that didn’t mean the company would go bankrupt overnight! Yet this kid couldn’t even come up with a way to save it, only knowing how to smash ashtrays.
This was further contrasted with Ming Chan stirring up the global gaming industry with a simple game. At this point in time, Chairman Mu’s disappointment in Mu Xiyuan reached its peak.
Mu Xiyuan felt extremely uneasy, a very ominous premonition creeping in.
“Starting today, you are dismissed,” Chairman Mu solemnly announced as he looked at Mu Xiyuan with disappointment.
To put it bluntly, the president of a company is also an employee—a high-ranking one—but they can still be dismissed.
The employees outside the office were dumbfounded. Little President Mu was fired? Then what would happen to Runda in the future? Chairman Mu didn’t look like he could manage the company with his current health.
Chairman Mu scanned the stunned employees outside and said to the dazed Mu Xiyuan, “I will hand the company over to Little Chan.”
In that instant, Mu Xiyuan’s mind seemed to buzz with static, and he went blank.
Hand the company over to Ming Chan?
Mu Xiyuan clutched his head, almost screaming, “Dad, are you crazy? I’ve already divorced Ming Chan! She’s no longer a member of the Mu family! She’s just an outsider, and yet you want to hand over such a large enterprise to her?”
“A large enterprise? Right now, the entire Runda Group is a mess!” Chairman Mu said angrily, glaring at Mu Xiyuan.
Mu Xiyuan’s brain was racing, and he blurted out, “Dad, are you really going to fire me over this small mistake? Is it just because I’m an adopted son, so you think I can be discarded at will?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xiyuan immediately regretted it.
Chairman Mu’s face turned completely ashen as he reprimanded furiously, “A small mistake? You and Junyi’s people have caused people to lose their lives! Are human lives so worthless in your eyes?”
Chairman Mu changed his tone and retorted, “Besides, you’re just like Little Chan, and you’re not my biological son. So what’s the difference if I hand it over to you or Little Chan?”
Mu Xiyuan’s face turned pale, and he didn’t know how to respond.
The employees were going completely crazy, discussing it as if they had heard some major international gossip. Mu Xiyuan actually exposed a bombshell about himself!
“So President Mu isn’t Chairman Mu’s biological son? He’s adopted?”
“My goodness, isn’t this going to be huge news in high society?! Mu Xiyuan is actually the only adopted son! No one in the circle knew this news!”
Some employees who were considering resigning became bolder: “Mu Xiyuan’s abilities are still lacking, so it’s still better to hand the company over to the former president’s wife. She made even a small indie game popular overnight! Now that’s a real businesswoman. Men shouldn’t be so self-important; they have to admit that they are often inferior to women.”
“I’ve overheard some juicy gossip today. I feel like I suddenly don’t need to resign anymore?”
“…”
Mu Xiyuan was scared, he was truly scared now. He quickly said, “Mom, Dad, I really know I was wrong now. I will definitely apologize to the public.
“And also, since you both like Ming Chan, I’ll go find her and remarry her right now!”
Hearing this, his usually gentle adoptive mother frowned and immediately stopped him, “Don’t go harming a good girl.”
When Mu Xiyuan heard that even his usually gentle adoptive mother was no longer helping him, his heart sank to the depths of despair.
“We’ve already thought it over. Your mother and I will adopt Ming Chan as our daughter.” Chairman Mu continued, his tone calm, clearly having made a thorough decision with no room for negotiation.
Mu Xiyuan now understood that he was completely finished.
He began to regret, regretting why he had let himself be blinded and got involved in the rental loan business with Junyi.
All he knew was—
The ex-wife he had once kicked out would now walk back into the Mu family as its head.
After announcing this major news, Chairman Mu, supported by his wife, returned to the hospital.
He hadn’t abandoned Mu Xiyuan. After all, he had already raised him for so many years. Even without blood ties, there were still years of feelings between them.
But rationality led Chairman Mu to make a decision: rather than let the company be squandered by him, it was better to hand it over to the capable Ming Chan. He would give his adopted son some money to ensure he wouldn’t go hungry, but that was all.
Ming Chan was called to duty in a crisis; she was currently only thinking about her game, especially since it had exploded in popularity due to the latest event. However, if she didn’t want it to be a mere flash in the pan, she still needed to follow up.
It was Chairman Mu and his wife who personally invited her, their words extremely sincere.
The couple was very satisfied with Ming Chan’s character, as despite going through such a difficult time, she still hadn’t exposed that Mu Xiyuan was an adopted son just to gain benefits.
Ming Chan actually didn’t want a divorce at the time, not because she was attached to Mu Xiyuan, but because she cared about her kind and understanding in-laws.
“Sir, Madam, the identification results are out—it’s true! Miss Xu Yao is truly amazing!” The butler rushed in from outside the ward, only to be stopped by a nurse in the hallway who was very displeased at him speaking so loudly.
But the butler couldn’t control himself!
“Is it really true?” Chairman Mu’s wife asked, her voice trembling in disbelief.
“It’s true, it’s really true!”
Ming Chan looked confused, not knowing what her former in-laws were talking about.
Chairman Mu flipped the examination report back and forth, tears misting his eyes, “Little Chan, Miss Xu Yao sent someone to visit us and left a greeting card saying that you and my wife look very similar, so we did a paternity test.”
The chairman’s wife even held Ming Chan’s hand directly, “No wonder I find you so familiar, my little darling.”
Ming Chan, a rational girl, was momentarily stunned. Xu Yao? Was it Xu Yao, her landlady, who was helping her once again?
After taking a long time digesting her own background, Ming Chan gradually came to her senses, and she also accurately grasped Runda’s current situation.
Junyi Long-term Rental Apartments was so badly affected by the scandal to the point of being forcibly delisted, but Runda was not yet bankrupt.
After much consideration, Ming Chan said, “Mom, Dad, the best way now is for us to cut our losses to survive.”
Having been the daughter-in-law of the couple, it had become a habit for Ming Chan to call them Mom and Dad, so it wasn’t difficult to say it again. In fact, the term felt even more intimate today.
The couple, however, listened to that address with red eyes, staring intently at Ming Chan.
“Since this whole matter started with Mu Xiyuan, we’ll cut Mu Xiyuan out completely.”
Ming Chan thought for a moment and said, “Right, and the property that Junyi Long-term Rental Apartments rented from Runda that caused the incident—it’s that building, right? I think…”
Ming Chan’s voice became firm as she decisively stated, “We should give that apartment building to Xu Yao.”
*
Xu Yao received an apartment building, but the person giving it to her was not her fiancé, but rather her tenant.
“Isn’t this too much?” Xu Yao said with a troubled expression, “This gift is really too big, I can’t accept it.”
Chairman Mu, who was still in high spirits due to the happy occasion, was in excellent health. He not only was able to move around but also didn’t need to remain in the hospital.
Chairman Mu said, “If you say that, Yaoyao, then you’re truly being too polite. I understand the pressure that young people must be feeling with the issue of rent and loans. If we add a few more lives to the mix, the future fallout would be scarier than the current negative public opinion about the company. I know your intentions are good.”
“Besides… transferring this apartment building to you at this time is actually us taking advantage of the situation, after all, your reputation is good right now.”
Xu Yao was now recognized as a divine landlady, and the apartment building that had seen two lives lost, if transferred into her hands, would undoubtedly help influence the negative public opinion.
The chairman’s wife, dressed in a qipao3, chided her, “What are you saying, Little Yao? Besides, if it weren’t for you investing in Little Chan back then, her life would have been far more difficult than it is now. If you hadn’t reminded us, we wouldn’t have even known our own daughter was right under our noses this whole time.”
Just finding their own daughter was worth more than ten buildings, let alone one.
An apartment building was still a huge gift, representing not only their desperate attempt at reversing public opinion, but also their gratitude towards Xu Yao.
Xu Yao smiled, “Then… thank you, Chairman Mu and Madam Mu.”
With the formalities taken care of, the chairman’s wife held Xu Yao’s hand, feeling extremely close, and asked with a smile, “I heard you’re getting engaged soon. Do make sure to invite us when the time comes”
Xu Yao readily agreed, and the chairman’s wife asked where it would be held.
Xu Yao hesitated, “It hasn’t been decided yet. I’ll inform Uncle and Aunt when the time comes.”
The engagement location had indeed not been decided, as Xu Yao didn’t want to hold it in the capital or in Haicheng.
Both places were big cities, with paparazzi everywhere so it would be hard to keep the engagement a secret, especially given her current massive online following.
Xu Yao had initially planned to acquire several villas on an island, planning to discuss with Ji Zhengqing about the possibility of holding a small engagement party there.

pls do not share this anywhere or u will always stub ur toe when u walk past a door frame !! this translation has been stolen from mioscorner.com, pls only read there i’m begging u :kneels:
Runda Group officially announced today that President Mu Xiyuan has been permanently dismissed, with Ming Chan taking over the position instead. Runda will also provide a series of compensations to the victims.
[Mu Xiyuan was fired? I heard the chairman of Runda was extremely fond of this son, so did they really kick him out? At least this shows some sincerity.]
[Isn’t Ming Chan the tenant that Xu Yao invested in? Holy crap, going from being divorced to her game becoming a global hit, and now taking charge of Runda—isn’t Xu Yao’s foresight a bit too sharp?]
[Hahaha, Mu Xiyuan kicked Ming Chan out of the house back then, yet who would have thought he would be kicked out one day too? Hasn’t his ex-wife made a glamorous return? Serves that dog man right!]
Mu Xiyuan had stirred up so much trouble, and in the end, he gained nothing! Just thinking about it is amusing.
What a useless piece of work.
[This is nothing compared to the truly shocking news! @Runda’s victimised tenants have the real bombshell!]
Many of these scammed tenants still lived in Runda Apartments. After all, Xu Yao’s elite legal team had completely exempted them from loans with their victory in the lawsuit, and Runda had provided various compensations to salvage their image. Their attitude could even be considered excellent; it was as if they were practically begging them for mercy.
Although they were still cursing Runda behind their backs, they didn’t move out directly, and accepted the compensation without hesitation, simply continuing to live in the same apartment building.
Just this morning, the latest notice was issued downstairs in the apartment building: the building had changed ownership and had become Xu Yao’s.
Tenants who could not accept this could move out within ten days, and Xu Yao’s rental team would arrange for a moving company to assist for free, while those willing to rent Xu Yao’s properties could stay and would have Xu Yao’s rental team come over to sign new rental contracts.
The Runda Apartments tenant group chat, which had been filled with curses, was now in shock, flooding the chat with messages.
Xu Yao couldn’t help but sigh; what could she do if her tenants insisted on giving her a building? She didn’t want it either.
[??? So I… I became Xu Yao’s tenant? Wow! Is this a blessing in disguise? Ahhhh, Mom, I rented Xu Yao’s house, you don’t have to worry about me being scammed in the big city anymore!]
[I took Xu Yao’s online rental exam three times, always failing to pass by one or two points, and now, you’re telling me I directly became Xu Yao’s tenant? Did I make it? Is this how I made it? I need to celebrate right now!]
[To be honest, I was just packing my things into boxes at home, but seeing this news, I silently took everything out again. In this day and age, which tenant doesn’t want to rent Xu Yao’s house?]
[Wahhhh, I’m truly grateful to Xu Yao! Because of her, I won’t have to bear strange loans at a young age, and now I can even confidently look for a job. I suddenly feel that life is still very beautiful—everyone should live well! My long-standing unhappiness has suddenly eased a lot. I’m so happy!]
[Yes, we should all live well. Thank you to the boy and girl who left us, and I hope you both are doing well in heaven. And thank you for ensuring that us later arrivals will no longer suffer any grievances.]
Today’s breaking news! Runda has transferred their apartment building to Xu Yao, and now Xu Yao is the landlady of this building!
The tenants of Runda, who had previously been grumbling, upon hearing that the landlord had become Xu Yao, were all excited as if it were the New Year .
It was like they had been in the dim light of dawn, and upon finally crossing the endless darkness, they could finally catch a glimpse of the long-awaited sun. The first rays of sunlight truly felt warm on their skin.
Netizens were somewhat dumbfounded. So, it turns out there’s actually another way to rent Xu Yao’s apartment? Why was it so difficult to rent from Xu Yao?
Countless hopeful investors had long been unable to contain themselves. Ming Chan was the best example for them. A small, crappy game had somehow become a global phenomenon! They wanted to be Xu Yao’s tenants, even if they didn’t actually need to rent a place at all!
[Sister Yao, look at me! My variety show is just missing you as an investment tycoon!]
[Does Xu Yao only help her tenants? I want to become her tenant.]
[Wahhhhhhh, Sister Yao, look at me! My little restaurant has great food, but it’s about to close down. I hope the ultimate landlady can lend a helping hand.]
Netizens looked at these comments on Weibo and couldn’t help but frown.
They had a terrible premonition that these people, who already had houses and homes, would soon come to compete with them!
Originally, the rental exam for Xu Yao’s apartments was already very difficult, and now with this situation, renting from Xu Yao was almost like trying to get into Tsinghua or Peking University!
Just as some tenants were feeling anxious, someone posted a reply to a private message on Xu Yao’s rental official website.
[Xu Yao Rental Private Message: Your information has been reviewed. We regret to inform you that you do not meet the rental requirements of Xu Yao Rental. Note: Please do not waste resources if you already own property. Thank you.]
If you own a house, get lost! Don’t come and waste resources renting!
Xu Yao was very clear about it—her apartments were to be rented to those who truly needed them. As a busy landlady, she only occasionally helped out her unfortunate tenants. After all, she just wanted to give everyone a happy home.
Many people were left dumbfounded—Xu Yao’s rental requirements had actually become stricter.
No renting to property owners! She really only rented to those in need…
Didn’t that mean those hoping to gain Xu Yao’s investment help as tenants would never have a chance? Some people who still lacked investment nearly blacked out from despair. After all, most of them who needed investment for their businesses all owned some sort of property, more or less.
Heavens, why are you so cruel to me!
“I… I’ve made up my mind,” a middle-aged man looked around his home in the capital city. He took a deep breath as if he had considered this for a long time, and solemnly told his family, “I’m going to sell our property and rent Xu Yao’s apartment!”
As long as they sold the house, they would need to rent, thus meeting Xu Yao’s basic rental criteria.
Family: “!!!”
Are you crazy?!
Selling the house, and having the whole family go to rent from Xu Yao? Have you lost your mind? Who will slap him back to his senses?
The tenants of Runda, oh no, now they were also Xu Yao’s tenants, immediately felt as if they had struck a jackpot when watching the frenzy online.
My goodness, wanting to become Xu Yao’s tenant is almost as hard as getting into Tsinghua and Peking University!
After a long time, one tenant seriously said in the group: [Thank you, Runda, for giving this apartment building to Xu Yao, allowing me to become Xu Yao’s tenant.]
[I actually really hated Runda before, wishing I could follow Mu Xiyuan and send him on his way, but now I suddenly feel a bit relieved. That trash Mu Xiyuan deserves to die, but it seems like Runda isn’t completely rotten to the core.]
[Sigh, I’ve also changed my view on Runda quite a bit. This move is indeed a clever tactic, and I truly admire it.]
[Ming Chan is truly a role model for female entrepreneurs! She can make a game a global hit and then turn around to save the company’s reputation, truly impressive.]
[Yeah, this is a whole building we’re talking about! Yet Ming Chan just gave it away! Who else is so generous with gifts these days? Why is this kind of shippable all of a sudden? (jk4)]
[Sis, shipping everything will only ruin you. Xu Yao is obviously my wife, okay? Don’t go trying to steal her, thanks!]
They admired Ming Chan’s clever tactics, as this was a win-win situation. Runda cut off its own tail to survive and restore its company image, while Xu Yao effortlessly received a whole building as a gift—this was simply a win-win for both parties!
Ji Zhengqing was also paying attention to the online news, noticing Runda’s clever move to cut its losses to survive, and he watched as the online reputation of Runda gradually rose from its previous low.
Ming Chan was indeed a remarkable female entrepreneur, and Xu Yao’s vision was something everyone talked about.
It wasn’t until Ji Zhengqing saw a comment saying, [Wow, Ming Chan actually gave Xu Yao a building! I dare say her future husband might not even be this generous!]
Ji Zhengqing suddenly remembered that he hadn’t given Xu Yao the land of Zhengde Academy but had sold it to her at half price instead. If this got out…
Ji Zhengqing could never have imagined that, in this lifetime, he’d be saddled with the reputation of being stingy.
Ji Zhengqing turned his head and stared at the engagement ring he had just ordered on the desk—the one with the massive diamond—for a long time.
Assistant Li hurriedly added from the side, “President Ji, this engagement ring really isn’t bad at all… um, are you thinking of giving her a building too?”
Wearing a dead-inside expression, Assistant Li wondered to himself, Who gives gifts like this? Get a grip, you love-struck fool!
Ji Zhengqing thought for a moment and said, “Two buildings?”
i kid u not when i say assistant li is the funniest part of this story LMAOOO poor guy is constantly questioning life im crine
