Su Qianmo came to greet everyone and assert her position in front of the crowd.
However, she didn't realize that her appearance made everyone admire Gu Chenan immensely.
— How on earth did Gu Chenan manage to make this otherworldly beauty his girlfriend?
This was the question on many people's minds.
But at the same time, another thought naturally occurred to everyone.
That is, Gu Chenan's newly purchased company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Would this beauty still stay with Gu Chenan after the bankruptcy?
This wasn't an unfounded worry. They had seen many cases where one party goes bankrupt and the other immediately breaks up, so they were curious about this situation as well.
However, what they didn't know was that Su Qianmo and Gu Chenan had experienced life and death together, and they would stay together no matter what happened.
Gu Chenan exchanged pleasantries with everyone while accompanying Su Qianmo, then claimed he had other business and left with her.
As soon as Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo departed, the crowd, who had been stunned by Su Qianmo's appearance, finally came to their senses.
"Damn, Gu Chenan's girlfriend is way too gorgeous!"
"Zhang Fan was right, his girlfriend totally outshines those female celebrities!"
"How the hell did Gu Chenan manage to snag her!"
"I thought Gu Chenan called Xiaoli ugly just because he was angry, but I never expected his girlfriend to be this beautiful!"
"Exactly! If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I'd think other women were ugly too!"
"Sigh, I wonder how Gu Chenan's company will develop. Hope his girlfriend doesn't break up with him if it goes bankrupt."
"It's possible. We've seen that kind of thing happen a lot."
The crowd chattered away, looking in the direction Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo had left.
Meanwhile, in Gu Chenan's Mercedes.
"Why do your classmates all look so dazed, as if they haven't woken up yet?" Su Qianmo asked from the passenger seat, taking off her high heels and placing her stockinged feet on the dashboard.
Gu Chenan's eyes inadvertently drifted to Su Qianmo's feet, especially the pink toes visible through the stockings.
"Dazed?" he asked.
"Well, not exactly dazed, just... stunned, I guess," Su Qianmo shrugged.
Gu Chenan smiled helplessly.
It seemed Su Qianmo still hadn't realized the impact her appearance and looks had in the real world.
It would be strange if people weren't stunned by her sexy, alluring figure and cold, otherworldly beauty.
"It's all because of you."
"Me?" Su Qianmo was taken aback. "What did I do?"
Gu Chenan nodded slightly towards Su Qianmo's exposed, stockinged legs: "You're too beautiful, too sexy. People were just stunned by you."
Su Qianmo rolled her eyes at Gu Chenan, not believing him. "Nonsense."
Gu Chenan didn't bother to explain further with words. This was something Su Qianmo would have to experience for herself to understand.
He turned his gaze back to the road and said, "There's a company meeting tomorrow. Aren't you going to prepare tonight?"
"I'm already prepared," Su Qianmo said confidently.
Gu Chenan nodded, looking forward to the first meeting tomorrow.
However, he didn't plan to personally conduct the meeting. He knew his own limitations.
If he were to actually lead the meeting himself, he'd probably just end up spouting meaningless corporate jargon like he did at the Suzhou branch in the novel world.
"How many days has it been since you arrived?" Gu Chenan asked after a while.
Su Qianmo counted on her fingers: "The sixth day."
The sixth day...
Gu Chenan nodded.
After tomorrow, in four more days, the next female lead would be transported here by the system.
He wondered who it would be.
Gu Chenan was quite looking forward to it.
Would it be Liu Mingrui, who always appeared serious but actually craved affection? Or Bai Yutian, who liked to tease him with her smelly socks? Perhaps the sensitive little girl Hoshino Kannon? Or his master Tang Yunjin? Or maybe the tsundere Fang Yuanyuan?
The next morning.
Caiying Beauty, 8th floor conference room.
Everyone from department heads to ordinary employees had gathered there.
Yesterday, they had received news that Caiying had changed ownership. Although they didn't know who the new boss was yet, they had already started gossiping about this new owner.
"Who do you think bought our company? Didn't they do any research? Our financial report this quarter is abysmal!"
"Who knows? As long as we get our monthly salary, I don't care who buys the company or how it's doing."
"Exactly, if it goes bankrupt, we'll find another job. If not, we'll stay and get salary increases based on seniority."
"Sigh, I heard Zhenhua Beauty is also hiring recently. Should I just jump ship and go to Zhenhua? Our company is doomed anyway."
"Let's wait and see. What if the new boss gives us a raise?"
"A raise in this situation? We should be thankful if they don't cut our pay. I'm telling you now, if the new boss dares to cut our salaries, I'm quitting immediately."
Clearly, not only was Caiying Beauty on the verge of bankruptcy, but its employees had also adopted a defeatist attitude.
Just then, the conference room door suddenly opened.
Su Qianmo walked in wearing an OL outfit paired with flesh-colored stockings and stiletto heels.
Her appearance stunned everyone, and the room fell silent instantly.
Su Qianmo walked to the head of the round table, pulled out the chair and sat down. "Everyone, from today on, I am the new CEO of Caiying. All matters, big or small, need to go through me. My surname is Su. Please introduce yourselves as well."
With these words, everyone looked at each other, stunned for a second.
The new CEO is... a beautiful woman?
Wow, so she's the one who bought the company?
"Hello, CEO Su. I'm the R&D manager, my name is..."
"Hello, CEO Su. I'm the marketing manager, my name is..."
Soon, all the directors and managers had introduced themselves. Su Qianmo looked at the documents in front of her and nodded, then looked up and surveyed the crowd.
"Caiying is currently in a slump and on the verge of bankruptcy. However, I am confident that under my leadership, Caiying will become the best, most famous, and largest cosmetics company in Shanghai, even in the whole country. To achieve this, I need all of you to work hard alongside me."
After Su Qianmo finished speaking, the room fell silent once again.
The first time they were silent was due to Su Qianmo's stunning appearance. This time, it was due to their shock at Su Qianmo's declaration of making Caiying the "best three."
Caiying was currently like a Lego structure about to fall apart. It didn't need someone to push it; even a gust of wind could knock it down.
And she's saying she wants to make Caiying the best, most famous, and largest cosmetics company?
Is she joking?
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
