Of course, there was a reason Qin Ge possessed such an almost heaven-defying family background. His legendary status as the only male descendant of the Li family’s third generation was not a manifestation of Qin Ge’s extraordinary luck.
Rather, all of this existed because Chen Yuan, the Favored Son of Destiny, needed a powerful opponent and a path through which he could grow stronger.
According to the original novel’s plotline, after Chen Yuan killed Qin Ge, he would provoke the Li family’s frenzied retaliation. After all, Qin Ge was the only male descendant of the Li family’s third generation. Such hatred could only end when one side was completely destroyed.
And it was precisely under the Li family’s relentless suppression that Chen Yuan, the Favored Son of Destiny, would continue to rise. In the end, even a colossal force like the Li family would be utterly destroyed by him.
Reason with a Favored Son of Destiny?
There was no reasoning with such a person.
After all, by the end of the original novel, Chen Yuan, the peerless expert who had descended from the mountain, would become an existence capable of blowing Blue Star apart with a casual punch.
No matter how overwhelming a background someone possessed in Dragon Nation, it could not stir even the slightest ripple before an existence like that.
However, all of that was still many years away.
At least for now, the existence of the Li family was an unshakable pillar of support for Qin Ge.
And Qin Ge would absolutely never allow Chen Yuan to grow that powerful again!
…
Weixue Group, Chairman’s Office.
At Qin Ge’s command, a row of the group’s senior executives stood before his desk.
Qin Ge swept his gaze across the list in his hands. Afterward, he raised his head and nodded toward several of the executives standing before him, “You few are fired, effective immediately.”
One of the executives wailed, “CEO Qin, we’ve always been completely loyal to you! You can’t…”
Bang!
Before the man could finish speaking, a bullet tore straight through his thigh. Blood immediately began pouring from the wound.
Qin Ge gently blew away the faint smoke curling from the muzzle of his gun. His brows knitted as he ordered coldly, “Get out!”
His furious shout instantly terrified the executives into silence. They scattered like frightened birds and beasts, not daring to linger for another second. On their way out, they even carried away the executive who had fainted after being shot.
“Sure enough, a gun is much more convenient to use!”
Qin Ge casually played with the Browning pistol in his hand, his eyes filled with unmistakable satisfaction.
In his previous life, he had also been capable of getting his hands on something like this. However, if he had actually dared to fire it, no matter how wealthy he was, he would still have ended up behind bars.
But things were completely different now.
He had asked Qiao Yingzi to obtain this gun for him.
Forget merely firing a gun. Even if Qin Ge blew someone’s head off in the middle of the street, the television news might still praise him for courageously upholding justice!
Such was the power of the Li family!
He was a great villain, and even though his Physique was extraordinary, he couldn’t possibly handle every little matter personally.
Wouldn’t that be far too beneath his status?
Besides, what were these parasites in the company but insignificant pieces of trash?
“From now on, you’ll be the group’s general manager.” Qin Ge looked at Zhou Mei, who had remained standing before him without retreating in fear, and smiled, “I’ll need you to contribute your ideas and strategies for the company’s future development and operations.”
As a great villain who was destined to soon be crushed beneath the Favored Son of Destiny’s feet and reduced to a miserable fool, how could there possibly be no parasites inside his company?
Calling the company riddled with problems would hardly be an exaggeration.
After all, Qin Ge’s predecessor had been nothing more than a hopeless simp. All he ever cared about was pursuing Jiang Yingxue, the most beautiful woman in Yunhai City. How could someone like that possibly have cared about the company’s operations?
However, Weixue Group had survived until now for a reason.
It wasn’t because of luck.
The company had its own pillar holding everything together, and that pillar was none other than Zhou Mei.
She was an elite businesswoman who had exhausted herself keeping the company alive, constantly matching wits with Qin Ge while desperately patching every hole she could find.
Zhou Mei straightened her fitted business suit before nodding firmly, “CEO Qin, I promise I won’t disappoint your expectations!”
Qin Ge smiled in satisfaction, “However, I do have a few instructions. First of all, changing the company’s name is urgent.”
What kind of ridiculous name was Weixue Group?
Only Yingxue?
As in, his love was only for Jiang Yingxue?
Being hopelessly obsessed with romance was truly damnable!
Qin Ge rubbed his chin and contemplated the matter carefully for a moment, “Our company mainly operates in physical industries while also handling investments. We should race across the world like the wind and soar straight into the heavens.”
Zhou Mei cautiously suggested, “Then… should we rename it Chiyao Group?”
Qin Ge nodded, “Let’s call it Qin Yun Tiancheng.”
Zhou Mei nearly stumbled.
CEO Qin’s sudden turn had been so sharp that she almost threw out her back.
After saying all of that, he hadn’t used a single part of it!
Qin Ge looked at Zhou Mei and continued with a smile, “Our company’s current scale is far too small. Its position doesn’t match what it should be capable of achieving.”
At present, Qin Yun Tiancheng couldn’t even be considered noteworthy within Yunhai City.
It was precisely because the company was so small that, despite having so many parasites inside it, Zhou Mei alone had still been capable of maintaining operations and turning dangerous situations around.
If the company had been a massive corporation, then no matter how outstanding Zhou Mei’s abilities were, one person alone could never have supported the entire structure.
However, that was all in the past now.
Qin Ge had already cleaned out the parasites, so naturally, there was no longer any need to worry about their influence.
“Zhou Mei, you’ll need to work harder when it comes to attracting investment. Do your best to turn Qin Yun Tiancheng into a corporation worth 100 billion yuan.”
Qin Ge looked at Zhou Mei with great expectations.
Zhou Mei swallowed hard, visibly alarmed, “CEO Qin, aren’t you taking far too big a step at once?”
“Even though Yunhai City ranks among Dragon Nation’s leading cities economically, there’s only one corporation here valued at the 100-billion-yuan level.”
Qin Ge rolled his eyes in irritation, “Do I really have to spell everything out for you? If you want a 100-billion-yuan corporation, ask my youngest aunt for a few tens of billions, work with that capital for a while, and won’t you eventually get there?”
“Do I seriously need to personally teach you every little detail of how to do this?”
Zhou Mei was so loyal that she willingly worked herself to the bone, tirelessly plugging every hole in the company.
If Qin Ge’s youngest aunt hadn’t been directing matters from behind the scenes, why would such a capable business elite work herself half to death with such unwavering dedication?
A flicker of surprise flashed through Zhou Mei’s eyes. However, she quickly nodded, “CEO Qin, I understand. I’ll take care of it immediately.”
All she had known before was that someone powerful stood behind the company.
As for exactly who that person was, she still wasn’t certain.
But Qin Ge had already made things this obvious.
Naturally, she now knew how she should report the matter.
Not long after Zhou Mei left, Qiao Yingzi entered the office dressed in fitted martial attire.
After closing the door behind her, she went straight to the point, “CEO Qin, Elder Li and your two aunts said they want to come to Yunhai City to see you. When would you have time to meet them?”
Qin Ge waved his hand dismissively, “Forget it. Grandpa is already getting on in years, so he should stay home and enjoy his retirement. Once I’ve dealt with everything here, I’ll go to the Capital to visit him. My two aunts should stay in the Capital as well. I’ll visit them together when I go.”
Qin Ge could understand what his grandfather was thinking.
The old man had undoubtedly learned about Qin Ge’s changes from Qiao Yingzi and felt deeply gratified. Naturally, he wanted to come and witness those changes with his own eyes.
If the old man wanted to come alone, Qin Ge wouldn’t mind.
However, if he brought Qin Ge’s two aunts along, then forget it.
Considering how insanely the Li family doted on the only male descendant of their third generation, Qin Ge was afraid that once they arrived, they would immediately surround him and refuse to let him out of their sight!
Qiao Yingzi nodded before continuing, “CEO Qin, your youngest aunt learned about what happened with Miss Jiang Yingxue, and she’s very unhappy. She wants to destroy Jiangxue Group and force Miss Jiang Yingxue to come apologize to you.”
Qin Ge shook his head, “Jiang Yingxue might apologize to me, but getting Jiang Yingxue to apologize to me is somewhat impossible.”
Qiao Yingzi stared at Qin Ge in astonishment.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that CEO Qin’s train of thought had taken a strangely twisted turn.
“There’s no need for my youngest aunt to intervene in something like this. I can handle it myself.” Qin Ge waved his hand, making it clear that his youngest aunt should stay out of the matter.
Come on!
Jiang Yingxue was a Favored Daughter of Destiny.
What kind of existence was a Favored Daughter of Destiny?
She possessed an unyielding personality that would rather break than submit, remaining steadfast no matter how many setbacks she suffered.
Trying to crush her through sheer force would only make Jiang Yingxue hate him.
It would never make her regret her actions or become afraid of him.
Overwhelming pressure might work against cowards who feared death, but against someone like Jiang Yingxue, it would only have the opposite effect.
Still, there was no need for his youngest aunt to interfere.
Jiang Yingxue would never escape from the palm of his hand.
From the very moment his proposal had failed, Jiang Yingxue’s fate of being tormented between unbearable misery and overwhelming ecstasy had already been sealed!
