Of course, possessing such a heaven-defying background and being the only male in the third generation of the Li Family wasn’t a sign of Qin Ge’s own unmatched destiny.
It was because the Child of Destiny, Chen Yuan, needed a powerful rival—a stepping stone on his path to power.
According to the original plot, after Chen Yuan killed him, he would trigger the Li Family’s relentless retaliation.
After all, Qin Ge was the only male heir of the Li Family’s third generation.
That kind of grudge could only end in death.
It was precisely through being hunted by the Li Family that Chen Yuan kept growing stronger, eventually toppling the colossal Li Family entirely.
Try reasoning with a Child of Destiny?
That was pointless.
After all, by the end, Chen Yuan—descended from the mountains—could casually blow up Blue Star with a single punch.
Even a monstrous background in the Dragon Nation would barely make a ripple before someone like that.
But that was all in the distant future.
At least for now, the Li Family’s existence was a stabilizing anchor for Qin Ge.
And he would never again allow Chen Yuan to grow strong!
…
Jiangxue Group, CEO’s Office.
Per Qin Ge’s instruction, a line of company executives stood in front of the desk.
Qin Ge scanned the roster before him, then looked up and pointed, “You few—starting now, you’re fired.”
One executive cried out, “CEO Qin, we’ve always been loyal to you! You can’t just—”
Bang!
Before he could finish, a bullet tore through the man’s thigh, and blood gushed out violently.
Qin Ge blew the smoke off the Browning pistol in his hand and frowned coldly, “Get out.”
The roar sent the terrified executives scattering like birds and beasts, even dragging the unconscious, bleeding man with them.
“A gun really does feel better in the hand.”
Qin Ge toyed with the Browning pistol, his expression full of satisfaction.
In his previous life, he could get his hands on weapons like this too.
But back then, the moment he pulled the trigger—even with his status—he’d have ended up singing sad prison songs.
Now, however, things were different.
This piece was brought in by Qiao Yingzi at his request.
Forget firing it—in today’s climate, even if he blew someone’s head off in broad daylight, the news would praise him for his heroism!
Such was the Li Family’s influence!
Even as a great villain, no matter how incredible his physique was, he couldn’t be expected to handle every little thing himself, could he?
Where’s the dignity in that? Visit g.com for the full chapter.
These corporate parasites were nothing but trash.
Were they even worthy of his personal attention?
“From now on, you’re the new CEO of the company.”
Qin Ge looked at the one executive who hadn’t fled—Zhou Mei—and smiled. “From now on, company operations will depend on your strategy and leadership.”
As a great villain fated to eventually be crushed by the Child of Destiny and die a miserable death, it was no surprise that the company was full of holes.
“Full of parasites” was an understatement.
After all, the previous Qin Ge had been a pathetic simp, obsessed only with pursuing Yunhai City’s number one beauty, Jiang Yingxue.
He never cared about company affairs.
Yet the company had survived—not by luck, but because of its pillar, Zhou Mei.
A business elite who had fought tooth and nail to keep the company afloat.
Zhou Mei straightened her blazer and nodded firmly, “CEO Qin, I won’t let you down!”
Qin Ge smiled with approval, “First things first—this company needs a name change.”
What kind of trash name was ‘Jiangxue Group’?
All because of his obsession with Jiang Yingxue?
Romantic delusions like that deserved to be destroyed!
Qin Ge pinched his chin and thought for a moment, “We focus on physical operations, with investment on the side. We should race across the world and rise like a whirlwind.”
Zhou Mei offered tentatively, “Then… maybe name it ‘Chiyao Group’?”
Qin Ge shook his head and said, “Let’s go with Qin Tiancheng Group.”
Zhou Mei stumbled a bit.
CEO Qin really took a wild turn there.
All that build-up, and he didn’t use any of it.
Qin Ge continued with a smile, “Our company’s too small. Doesn’t deserve the prestige.”
Right now, Qin Tiancheng Group was nothing in Yunhai City.
Precisely because of its small scale, parasites had been able to infest it. Zhou Mei alone had managed to keep things from collapsing.
If it had been a large-scale company, even with Zhou Mei’s abilities, she wouldn’t have been able to hold it together.
But that was in the past.
Now that the parasites had been purged, he didn’t need to worry about such things anymore.
“Zhou Mei, I’m counting on you to work hard on attracting investment. Let’s get ‘Qin Tiancheng Group’ to a market value of 100 billion.”
Zhou Mei swallowed nervously, eyes wide with fear. “CEO Qin, that’s a massive leap. Even though Yunhai is a top economic hub in the Dragon Nation, there’s only one company here that’s reached 100 billion.”
Qin Ge rolled his eyes, annoyed, “Do I have to spell everything out for you? You want a 100 billion company? Just get a few hundred billion from my aunt and start working with that. Isn’t that enough to operate from?”
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Zhou Mei was so loyal, so diligent in patching up company holes.
If his aunt weren’t secretly backing her, where would he find such a reliable, hardworking mule?
A flicker of surprise passed through Zhou Mei’s eyes. Then she nodded and said, “Understood, CEO Qin. I’ll take care of it.”
She’d always known someone was backing the company.
Now that Qin Ge had said it so bluntly, she understood exactly what needed to be reported—and how.
Not long after Zhou Mei left, Qiao Yingzi, dressed in sleek tactical gear, entered the office.
After closing the door, she spoke directly, “CEO Qin, Elder Li and your two aunts want to come to Yunhai to see you. When would be a good time?”
Qin Ge waved his hand casually, “Forget it. Grandfather’s getting old—let him rest at home. Once I’ve wrapped things up here, I’ll go visit him in the capital. The aunts are there too, right? I’ll visit them all together then.”
He could understand his grandfather’s thinking.
After learning of his transformation from Qiao Yingzi, the old man must’ve been thrilled and wanted to see him in person.
If it were just the old man, sure—let him come.
But bringing along his two aunts?
Forget it.
With how obsessed the Li Family was about their only male in the third generation, if they showed up, they’d probably lock him up and throw away the key!
Qiao Yingzi nodded, then added, “CEO Qin, your youngest aunt found out about Jiang Yingxue and was very upset. She’s planning to destroy the Jiangxue Group and force Jiang Yingxue to apologize to you.”
Qin Ge shook his head, “Jiang Yingxue might apologize. But her apologizing to me? That’s unlikely.”
Qiao Yingzi stared at him in surprise.
She suddenly felt like CEO Qin had gotten a little… sharp.
“There’s no need for my aunt to step in,” Qin Ge said, waving his hand. “I can handle it myself.”
Please!
Jiang Yingxue was a Child of Destiny.
Do you know what that means?
It meant she was the kind of person who would rather die than yield—unyielding, indomitable.
Forcing her would only make her hate him more.
Not fear him. Not regret.
When dealing with cowards, brute force worked fine.
But with someone like Jiang Yingxue, force would only backfire.
Still, there was no need for his aunt to act.
Jiang Yingxue wouldn’t escape his grasp.
The moment she rejected his proposal, her fate was already sealed—
She would fall, completely and utterly.
