Chapter 535: The Show is About to Begin

“Keep your voice down! Do you have a death wish? Mooch! Look for yourself.”

Upon hearing this, a colleague next to him turned pale and handed his phone to the handsome young man.

The young man took the phone, while the other two also leaned in to take a look. On the phone was a Baidu Encyclopedia page.

The three of them took just one glance before they couldn’t help but gasp.

Xu Shaochen, male, Han ethnicity, 21 years old, Chairman of Chen Yu Group, Chairman of Lotus Charity, Young Executive of Xu Corporation, Outstanding Young Entrepreneur of Jiangzhou City, Top Ten Youths of Canglan Province…

The long string of titles made everyone dizzy.

“I… Damn.”

The handsome young man, who had just called Xu Shaochen a pretty boy, couldn’t help but curse. A chill ran from his feet up to his scalp.

If Xu Shaochen heard what he just said, his life would be over.

“I thought he looked familiar, so I checked online. Have you forgotten what happened with the Eldest Brother just a few days ago? He’s a ruthless man.”

The colleague who had taken out his phone spoke in a soft voice, still shaken.

Inside the office.

“What brings you here?”

Lin Wanxue looked at Xu Shaochen and asked with some surprise.

Xu Shaochen squinted his eyes slightly and said casually, “Don’t you think you’re becoming a bit too casual around me?”

“I-I’m sorry, I…” Lin Wanxue’s face turned pale as she heard this. She hadn’t even realized she was overstepping her bounds.

Seeing Lin Wanxue trembling with fear, Xu Shaochen smiled and caressed her fair cheek. “Don’t be nervous. It’s not a bad thing. We can be friends, right?”

As he spoke, Xu Shaochen’s hand slid down from her cheek, effortlessly unbuttoning her blouse…

Lin Wanxue’s delicate body trembled as she seductively leaned into Xu Shaochen’s arms. “Are we going to do it on the desk?”

“I came for business.” Xu Shaochen withdrew his hand.

Lin Wanxue gave Xu Shaochen a somewhat resentful look. How annoying, teasing her like that and then stopping. Now she felt unbearably uncomfortable.

“Tonight, something will happen to Lin Rong that will ruin his reputation. When the time comes, go to your father and tell him you want to inherit the Lin Corporation.”

Xu Shaochen spoke in a calm tone.

Lin Wanxue frowned slightly. “What about Lin Kai?”

“Heh, someone who uses such despicable means to plot against his own brother—do you think your dad will let him inherit the Lin Corporation?”

At this point, Xu Shaochen paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides, all these underhanded methods were taught to him by me. Your dad will definitely see through it, and he won’t let him manage the Lin Corporation.”

“Tell him outright that you have my support and that you’re willing to let your first child carry the Lin surname, allowing this child to inherit the Lin Corporation in the future. Also, have the company’s senior shareholders call him to pressure him to make a decision.”

“When that time comes, he will undoubtedly agree. After all, besides you, he has no other choice.”

After listening, Lin Wanxue still hesitated. She felt this might be too aggressive and could end up hurting Lin Changguan.

“I know what you’re worried about—your dad will be hurt, but more than that, he’ll be relieved and proud. Only when you show him this kind of decisiveness will he believe you’re capable of managing the company.”

Judging from Lin Wanxue’s expression, Xu Shaochen already knew what she was conflicted about. Without hesitation, he clarified her concerns.

If Lin Changguan can see that Lin Kai’s scheming was all taught by me,

He will naturally also see that my aim is to help Lin Wanxue rise to the top.

If, at this moment, Lin Wanxue still hesitates over sentimental matters, Lin Changguan would only be disappointed in her.

Only a decisive, calm, and clean-cut person, even slightly ruthless, is a qualified leader.

Lin Wanxue bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright, I understand.”

“Good, official business is done.”

Xu Shaochen gave a slight smile and playfully slapped her on her short skirt-covered behind.

“Smack!”

The firm and bouncy sensation was irresistible.

Lin Wanxue pouted and shot him a playful glance before obediently turning and leaning on the desk.

Then, naturally, the office turned into a scene of passionate intimacy. Growing emotional attachment over time—maybe that’s what it means.

An hour later, Xu Shaochen left the office, refreshed.

“M-Mr. Xu… good evening.”

Outside the office, Lin Wanxue’s secretary blushed deeply and kept her head down, not daring to look at Xu Shaochen.

“Heh.”

Xu Shaochen laughed and playfully pinched her cheek. It was clear this little secretary had been eavesdropping on their activities.

As Xu Shaochen left, the secretary nearly collapsed on the spot but managed to gather herself to knock on the office door.

………

On the other side, instead of leaving, Xu Shaochen sought out Ye Tao.

“Young Master Xu, any orders?”

Ye Tao looked at Xu Shaochen and asked.

“How’s it going at the Lin Corporation?”

Xu Shaochen had originally planned for Ye Tao to take over the Lin Corporation, but seeing Lin Wanxue’s current progress, it seemed unnecessary.

That woman’s psyche seemed a bit twisted—she’s becoming more dependent on me.

Xu Shaochen noticed that when they were intimate, the rougher he was, the more excited Lin Wanxue became. She had even asked him several times to torment her.

It felt like she might have developed Stockholm Syndrome.

So, Xu Shaochen decided to send Ye Tao to M**a to connect with Ma Di.

“Young Master Xu, do you need me to take care of something?” Ye Tao, sensing his intent, asked.

Xu Shaochen nodded and shared his thoughts with him.

Without hesitation, Ye Tao agreed, “Young Master Xu, I said I’d follow you no matter where. Just tell me where to go.”

“Alright, I’ll call Ma Di ahead of time. He’s a decent guy. If you make a name for yourself in M**a, I’ll take you with me to Mg Country in the future.”

Xu Shaochen patted him on the shoulder. He was getting increasingly fond of Ye Tao’s efficiency.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tao instantly became excited. Going to Mg Country meant joining Xu Corporation’s main headquarters—the most powerful company in the world.

If he could secure a high-ranking position there, he would have no regrets in this lifetime.

After chatting with Ye Tao for a while, Xu Shaochen finally left.

After leaving the Lin Corporation, Xu Shaochen returned to the Repulse Bay Villa.

Having spent too much energy on Lin Wanxue earlier, Xu Shaochen felt a bit tired. After a nap, it was already evening.

Xu Shaochen instructed Long Yi to drive him to the hotel that Lin Kai had reserved.

Tonight, the show will begin here.

Main characters: Lin Rong, Shanshan, Lin Kai.
