Me, A Villain! Is It So Wrong To Live off The Heroines? - Chapter 5

Chapter 005: Qin Yu’s Fiancée

The next morning.

Su Mingxuan had just woken from sleep when a system notification suddenly echoed in his mind.

【 Ding! Because your bodyguards broke Lin Feng’s leg, 20,000 points of Lin Feng’s luck have been plundered. Reward: 10,000 Talent Upgrade Points and 10 Constitution Pills. 】

Constitution Pill: Increases 100 points of Constitution but cannot exceed the current cap.

【 Ding! Please note, Master—inflicting physical harm on a Child of Fate has a limit. Once the threshold is reached, further injuries will no longer generate luck points. 】

Su Mingxuan: “…”

What the hell? He wakes up and Lin Feng’s leg is broken? And it was his bodyguards who did it?

Damn… What did Lin Feng do this time?

Su Mingxuan shook his head and chuckled. As for the so-called injury limit? He wasn’t too worried. With his background, there were countless ways to suppress Children of Fate. Something like this was hardly worth his attention.

After a simple breakfast with Jiang Ting, the two of them walked down from the apartment together.

“Mingxuan, there’s a senior management meeting at the company at nine. They might need you to attend,” Jiang Ting said softly, holding onto his arm with affection in her eyes.

Su Mingxuan had parachuted into this subsidiary two months ago and directly taken over as its president. While it was technically just a subsidiary, it was already a publicly listed company, with a market value nearing ten billion.

Of course, compared to the vast chain group under Liu Qin’s control, it was practically insignificant. But in the eyes of most people, it was still a giant.

“Not interested.” To Jiang Ting’s surprise, Su Mingxuan rejected it immediately. Lighting a cigarette, he walked toward the car and casually said, “Same old crap every day. You think this is some imperial court session or something? A bunch of old-timers just coasting through life. Find a way to replace them when you get the chance.”

Jiang Ting: “…”

Well, it was a listed company. Naturally, it had more complex issues than a regular business. One meeting per day might sound excessive, but it wasn’t exactly pointless. Still, she could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

He really was a top-tier young master.

To just casually blow off a billion-dollar company like that—and he even wanted to change the entire executive team. Wasn’t he worried about a stock collapse?

But she knew there was no changing Su Mingxuan’s mind. She silently followed him into the car.

As soon as Su Mingxuan sat down, the black-suited driver turned and asked, “Young Master Su, shall we head back to the company?”

Su Mingxuan shook his head. “Go to Tianchen International.”

“Yes, sir.”

The driver started the car, and the convoy quickly rolled onto the road. Surrounding Su Mingxuan’s vehicle were four or five business-class vehicles escorting it from all sides. Anyone who saw the motorcade would instantly know that someone extraordinary was riding inside.

“I heard you guys beat someone up last night?” Inside the car, Su Mingxuan looked out the window and asked casually.

“Uh… how did you find out, Young Master Su?”

The driver-bodyguard was a bit surprised but still nodded. “Last night we found some guy lurking around acting shady. We thought he was trying to steal scooters, so we dragged him into the woods. Turns out he had some martial skills and tried to resist… Old Hei ended up breaking his leg and sending him to the police.”

Su Mingxuan: “…”

That was brutal.

His expression grew a bit strange.

He didn’t know what sort of encounter Lin Feng had this time, but all his bodyguards were beasts. Even compared to foreign special forces, they were more than evenly matched.

Running into them before powering up was just bad luck for Lin Feng.

In Su Mingxuan’s view, these so-called Children of Fate were just walking loot boxes. He didn’t take them seriously at all.

Tianchen International was located in the south of Tianhai City. Even with their current pace, it would take at least half an hour to get there.

Jiang Ting, as his assistant, had a ton of work to do. From the moment she got in the car, she became swamped—opening her laptop, responding to issues, communicating with the company’s managers. She was drowning in tasks.

Su Mingxuan, meanwhile, closed his eyes to rest.

“Mingxuan, why are we going to Tianchen International?” Jiang Ting finally found a free moment and asked, “That company focuses on energy and is still in its early stages. It doesn’t have any commercial value. It has nothing to do with our real estate business.”

Su Mingxuan responded with a mysterious smile.

As a transmigrator, he knew perfectly well that real estate would eventually become a bubble. The bigger it grew, the more terrifying the collapse would be when it burst.

That’s why he had to transform. And it had to start with this subsidiary.

The future belonged to technology. Even though this parallel world wasn’t Earth, the direction of societal development would be the same. Pioneers might suffer, but they also reaped massive early-mover rewards.

Su Mingxuan wasn’t about to miss that.

Besides… the CEO of Tianchen International happened to be Qin Yu’s fiancée.

Back at the party, she had tried multiple times to get close to him, hoping he would help her pull her company out of crisis.

She was strong, no doubt.

But no matter how strong she was… she wouldn’t want to see her hard-earned company go bankrupt.

To plunder luck, Su Mingxuan wouldn’t miss a single opportunity to suppress a Child of Fate.

At that thought, a faint smile appeared on his face. “Tianchen International is facing serious trouble. I’m a generous man—I can’t just stand by and watch it go under, can I?”

Jiang Ting: “…”

Generous?

She’d only been with him for a month, but she already knew—this man never did anything unless it benefitted him.

Unless there was a huge profit or irresistible temptation involved, he would never make a move.

Her woman’s intuition told her this was definitely not just about business.

Could it be…

Jiang Ting snuck a glance at him and opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she held it in.

She knew her place and she couldn’t afford to ask for too much.
