Jiang Che held Gu Lingfei's hand as they chatted and laughed their way into the car.
Little Mei, Gu Lingfei's secretary, was completely dumbfounded. The smile that Gu Lingfei displayed was unlike anything she had ever seen before. A smile that could captivate a city—was this what it meant to be absolutely mesmerizing?
Naturally, many employees of LingChe Group also witnessed this scene, and they were all stunned.
Gu Lingfei actually... has a boyfriend?
"Gu Lingfei... there's a company meeting scheduled for noon today," Little Mei hurriedly interjected.
Gu Lingfei responded casually, "Oh, postpone it to the afternoon."
Little Mei: "......"
Damn, she could already smell the pungent stench of love in the air.
Gu Lingfei had changed!
Previously, Gu Lingfei was a workaholic, often staying late at the office. She was always the first to arrive at company meetings. But now, with a man by her side... even company meetings could be delayed.
...
Little security guard Ye Chen watched the retreating figures of Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei, swallowing hard.
His eyes were filled with fear, and his entire body trembled in terror.
Just moments ago, he had sensed an aura emanating from Jiang Che—a power far beyond his own!
He was merely an ancient martial artist at the early stage of the Dark Force, while his grandfather, who taught him the martial arts, was only at the mid-stage of the Dark Force. But the pressure exuded by Jiang Che was a hundred times stronger than his grandfather's!
Could he be at the peak of the Dark Force? Or perhaps a legendary practitioner of the Shifted Force?
For Ye Chen, a small potato, his horizons were limited, and the Shifted Force was already an unattainable goal in his eyes.
"No, no... I can't stay here any longer. I absolutely must leave," Ye Chen muttered, filled with dread.
The pitiful fate of Qin Tian was still fresh in his mind. What if Jiang Che took a dislike to him and decided to beat him up?
As for the frosty President Gu Lingfei? Let anyone else chase after her; his first priority was to safeguard his own life.
......
"Heh... aren't you afraid that Qin Tian will come back to seek revenge?"
Inside the car, Gu Lingfei had let her true self shine through. Crossed legs revealed her alluring figure, exuding an aura of temptation, like a femme fatale capable of toppling kingdoms.
"Lingfei Jie, I can't help but feel like you're a bit dense."
Gu Lingfei's beautiful eyes widened. "You're the one who's dense!"
"Qin Tian? I was just playing with him. If it really comes down to it, I could just make him disappear, right? What kind of audacity does a speculator have to try chasing my Lingfei Jie?"
Jiang Che drove with one hand while the other naturally rested on Gu Lingfei's thigh. Even through the black stockings, he could feel the smooth, silky texture of her skin.
Cuteness is worthless before sexiness? That's only because you're not cute enough!
Similarly... you don't really dislike an older woman? That's because you haven't encountered a woman who's sexy enough!
Despite having a slight liking for lolis, Jiang Che wasn't picky. Whether she was fat or slim, as long as it was a woman, it was all fair game.
"Xiao Che, I've finally figured you out. You're a big playboy!"
"Really? Lingfei Jie, don't tell me you're regretting climbing aboard my ship?"
"Hmph, I haven't boarded your ship yet! You want me to join you... you'll have to show some sincerity!"
Gu Lingfei crossed her arms in front of her chest, lifting the curves of her chest.
Jiang Che was usually a very focused driver (meaning he drove with one hand), but even he couldn't help but glance to the right.
"Sincerity? Lingfei Jie, you've lived at the Jiang Family for so long—can't you see my sincerity? You can ask Wan'er and Yao Yao—don't they know how much sincerity I have?"
Gu Lingfei blushed and shot Jiang Che a glare.
Flustered, she couldn't find the words to retort and turned her head toward the window.
Jiang Che scratched his nose. Speaking with Gu Lingfei always gave him a sense of being in love, a mix of courtship with young maidens and love talk with mature women.
After all, figures like Gu Lingfei—pure, seasoned older women—were truly dreams come true. People like Wan'er and Yao Yao, what did they know about love? At most, they only understood the naive emotions of youth.
Of course, if there was a thirty-something beautiful, gentle, and caring auntie... that would be another story entirely!
Jiang Che wasn't picky at all. Lolis, maidens, cougars, or gentle aunties—he loved them all!
......
Meanwhile, Qin Tian's mental state was on the verge of collapse.
Not only had he been beaten up, but the worst part was that the woman he had long coveted, Gu Lingfei, had actually thrown herself into the arms of another man. What's more, she had humiliated him gravely.
"Damn bitch! You look down on me, huh? Since you're so unkind... don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Qin Tian's swollen face contorted with anger, his fists clenched tightly.
He was furious, but ultimately he could only vent his anger inwardly.
As a nouveau riche, he had always relied on money to bolster his pride. Yet moments ago... his pride had been trampled to pieces by those two scoundrels, especially Gu Lingfei, who had the audacity to call him worthless?
Even an uncle could endure, but a pregnant woman couldn't bear it!
"System, come up with a plan! What should I do to make Gu Lingfei's company go bankrupt?"
Qin Tian clenched his fists tightly.
[Ding! The system does not have this functionality.]
???
"Impossible! You're supposed to be an all-powerful system!"
[Ding! The system is an investment system, not a bankruptcy system. It does not have the ability to cause bankruptcy. It is recommended that the host learns and improves themselves. The stock market is ever-changing...]
Upon hearing this from the system, Qin Tian was even more devastated.
Was this stupid system mocking him?
Was it mocking his lack of knowledge about the stock market? Mocking how he blindly followed the system's suggestions to make money?
He wanted to retort, but he was powerless to do so because he genuinely didn't understand the stock market... he was entirely reliant on the system to spoon-feed him profits.
"Alright then, I'll invest in other companies! Is there any big money-making business you can suggest? The stock market is too slow—each week I can only make a million or so. I want to make a huge fortune."
Qin Tian's eyes gleamed with ambition. He had previously planned to keep a low profile and quietly earn money, but after being jointly suppressed by Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei, he was beginning to grow a bit dark.
Money, money, money!
It would be ideal to transform into a super-billionaire within a few months and slap them both back with a resounding retort.
He was only allowed one investment opportunity per week. If he invested in the stock market, he could invest a maximum of a few tens of millions.
He didn't understand the stock market, but investing too much risked becoming a victim of a "pig slaughtering" scheme.
Even if he invested a million or two, and the stock kept hitting daily limits, he could only pocket a few hundred thousand in profit.
[Ding! Host's investment opportunities are insufficient. Please wait until next week.]
Qin Tian: "......"
Almost forgot, he had just invested in that Qianghui Group yesterday!
He had invested ten million into Qianghui Group's stocks. According to the system, Qianghui Group's shares would continue hitting daily limits for the next week.
Today was the first day, so at least a million or two in profit should be expected, right?
Excitedly, Qin Tian opened his financial app. A million or two might not be much to him, with a net worth of one billion, but at least it could help alleviate his emotionally breaking heart.
