"You can't do this to me!"
Lu Chengwen was going crazy. "I haven't done anything, nor do I plan to do anything bad. Why is the protagonist here? Do they write books with their brains? The villain hasn't done anything wrong, so why is the Male Protagonist looking for trouble?"
System: "Oh, oh, I'm very sorry, don't you plan to do something to Leng Qingqiu?"
"I have over 600 million worth of defective products in my drug factory waiting for me to destroy them overnight. What would I do to her? I don't have time!"
System: "Oh, oh, over there is... let me see... it's Xu Xuejiao there... meaning, you plan to make a move on two Main Heroines simultaneously, hmm, hmm, understood. You want to increase the rescue difficulty for the Male Protagonist Long Aotian, got it! By the way, this is a brilliant move!"
"You got what! I don't plan to make a move on anyone, I'm just going to destroy the medicinal materials! Medicinal materials! Defective medicinal materials!"
System: "Is that so? This plot isn't very interesting. We still hope you can be more proactive and have more ill intentions towards the Main Heroines. This way, the Male Protagonist's plot can be initiated more easily."
"Listen to me!" Lu Chengwen tried his best to remain rational and reason with the System. "Whether Long Aotian wants to be initiated or not, I will never make a move again! I'm not interested in any of the Main Heroines, not a single one. Tomorrow, I'll settle both of them, and there will be no dragging my feet!"
"'Settle'? You mentioned the word 'settle'. I understand! You mean you plan to make a move on the two Main Heroines tomorrow, and it will be a crazy, evil, heinous, and inhumane act, right?"
Lu Chengwen cried:
"Big Sister, please let me go! I've died six times, and each time it was miserable. Can you just let me live for a while? I won't touch either of these women. By the way, can you stop them from always hovering around me? I'm not the protagonist! Shouldn't their leisure time be spent with the Male Protagonist Long Aotian... you know... with all sorts of ambiguous... and eye-pleasing things? To be honest, the plot has already collapsed like this on the first day, and you have direct responsibility for it!"
"Host, you've misunderstood. In reality, everyone, everything, and every event here is happening for real. We are merely here to supervise and observe. The only things we can do are related to your plot progression, ability enhancement, and limited out-of-bounds communication. What the Male Protagonist, Main Heroines do, where they go, or who they get close to, we cannot control, nor are we interested in controlling."
Lu Chengwen suddenly calmed down and began to analyze.
"Real? All real? Meaning... I must have done something... that made them deliberately get involved with me... No, I haven't done anything!"
"I want to break off the engagement with Leng Qingqiu, but she refused. She came to find me at night."
"Xu Xuejiao... Regarding Xu Xuejiao, I stopped Long Aotian from making a move. Could she know? No, she shouldn't know. In the drug factory... she seemed very sure that I would destroy the substandard medicine..."
The System interrupted: "Just a reminder, if you survive the first day, you will successfully receive the First Day Gift Pack!"
"First Day Gift Pack, full of good things, full of benefits! First Day Gift Pack, will be your aid on the path of courting death, allowing you to fully engage in the confrontation plot with the Male Protagonist, and enjoy the ultimate exhilarating experience before being crushed to death, dying without regret, and smiling in the underworld!"
Lu Chengwen shook his head: "You're truly a dog."
He first settled Leng Qingqiu, letting her sleep in a clean guest room. Then, he called Zhao Gang and rushed to the drug factory.
If I die, I die.
If the King of Hell wants me dead at the third watch, the System definitely won't let me live until the fifth watch.
But if, according to the System's hint, this is a... real world?
Is the System a group of highly intelligent beings superior to this world? They don't interfere or forcibly change the logic and operation of this world, is that what it means?
No matter what, let's get through today first. The First Day Gift Pack's GG played well, making my blood boil. Although it seemed like they wished for my death, only by obtaining it would I be qualified to live.
Long Aotian, I'm going all out against you!
You want to crush me?
I refuse to believe it. If I don't do anything wrong, will you still stomp on me just because I kneel before you?
The process went smoothly.
Under the supervision of several parties, batches of finished medicines poured into the shredder, becoming dregs and waste, which were then recycled as scrap by a third party.
Lu Chengwen supervised the entire process.
Xu Xuejiao also stayed up all night, overseeing the entire process.
Xu Xuejiao was very diligent, not missing any detail. Of course, other relevant responsible personnel were the same.
Everyone was nervous, and they all knew what this meant.
Lu Chengwen watched the last batch of medicinal materials turn into waste, a calm smile appearing on his lips.
[Phew, I guess I did something good.]
Lu Chengwen thought with a wry smile:
[No matter what, since this batch of medicine is destroyed, no one will be harmed. If I'm going to die in this world tomorrow, at least I did something meaningful today.]
[It was worth it!]
Xu Xuejiao, not far away, looked at Lu Chengwen's profile and was very shocked to hear these thoughts.
Is this guy going to die?
Did he suddenly change his ways and become a good person because he's about to die?
That's impossible. He's Lu Chengwen. He has a professional team of private doctors monitoring his entire family's health. If someone had a major problem, that team wouldn't be so quiet.
What's going on?
However, this guy... when he's feeling sentimental, he's quite like a melancholic prince.

"President Xu."
"Ah?" Xu Xuejiao quickly turned her head.
The engineer nodded with relief, "It's all done."
"Got it."
The leader from the Drug Administration Bureau went to shake hands with Lu Chengwen.
"CEO Lu, I know it takes immense courage and morality to make a decision like this. No one knows what kind of storm the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory will face tomorrow. But as a Medical Professional, I want to represent all my colleagues in expressing our highest respect and gratitude for your decision."
Lu Chengwen smiled, "It's not as serious as you think. At worst, the factory will close, and I'll be called dog shit by the media."
The leader chuckled and patted Lu Chengwen's shoulder, "Then we're wrapping up here. If you need anything, just contact us."
"Thank you, everyone has worked hard."
Dawn was breaking.
In the distant sky, a hint of rosy light was slowly rising.
Lu Chengwen was exhausted.
On his first day after transmigrating, he had avoided direct conflict with the protagonist Long Aotian twice. He had met with the two Main Heroines twice, maintaining distance and doing his best to sever their connections.
Although not entirely successful, he was still alive, and his legs were still attached. That was good news.
Those who had worked overtime all night began to leave, starting their cars to go home and rest.
Lu Chengwen wearily walked to his car. At this moment, Director Zhang approached him, "CEO Lu."
"Oh, Director Zhang. I'm so tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow, alright?"
Director Zhang gave a wry smile, "I only have one thing to say."
Lu Chengwen was incredibly frustrated. He really didn't have the energy to deal with these people.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and say it. I'm completely exhausted."
"Thank you." Director Zhang bowed deeply to him, then straightened up, his eyes moist, a relieved smile on his face, "I will resign tomorrow. You don't need to worry."
As Director Zhang turned to leave, Lu Chengwen called out to him, "Wait. Why are you resigning?"
"I..."
Lu Chengwen understood. This time, he had "caused" the loss of several hundred million, so Director Zhang was going to resign.
Lu Chengwen smiled, "Teacher Zhang, you are the Sea Calming Needle of our Ninth Factory. If it weren't for you today, I don't dare to imagine the consequences. You cannot resign. If you leave, who will tip me off next time? Who will help me correct mistakes? Even if you hate me and think I'm not human, you must have some feelings for the Ninth Factory, right? Those patients, those patients who need truly good medicine, miraculous medicine, need you to stay here and help them ensure quality."
Director Zhang could hardly believe that such words would come from Lu Chengwen's mouth.
He was incredibly shocked and deeply moved.
"CEO Lu, I'll say this from the bottom of my heart. I misunderstood you before. I apologize. Today, you truly opened my eyes. From now on..."
"Alright, alright, alright..." Lu Chengwen said, "Teacher Zhang, I really don't have the energy to accept your apology or thanks. Rest well, and we'll continue working tomorrow. I'm tired. Let's talk tomorrow, okay? Today has been too awful."
"Oh, then, that's fine. Get some rest early."
Lu Chengwen let out a breath. Zhao Gang gave him a thumbs-up. "Young Master, you're amazing! That was perfectly acted just now."
Lu Chengwen's expression was blank. "Is that so?"
"Absolutely Oscar-level acting. Old Man Zhang was almost in tears!"
"Shut up and drive."
"Yes!"
Just then, a familiar voice sounded nearby. "Brother Chengwen, leaving already?"
Lu Chengwen had already opened the car door. He turned his head and saw Xu Xuejiao standing not far away. She had been standing there for quite some time, and had seen his entire conversation with Director Zhang.
"You're quite good at winning people over," Xu Xuejiao said. "Teacher Zhang must be completely in awe of you now."
Lu Chengwen rested his forehead against the car door frame for five seconds before lifting his head. "Whatever you want to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm not doing anything else today. If you have the guts, make Long Aotian come and kill me right now!"
"Why do you always bring him up?" Xu Xuejiao yawned. "It's already dawn. Treat me to breakfast."
Lu Chengwen looked at her and shook his head, saying calmly, "Tomorrow, after the press conference. Either you transfer your shares to me, or I transfer my shares to you. From then on, we'll go our separate ways and pretend we never knew each other. How about that?"
Xu Xuejiao didn't know what was wrong with this guy. How had she offended him?
Why was he so annoyed with her?
Xu Xuejiao felt hurt.
Ever since she was little, boys who liked her were a dime a dozen. Which one hadn't praised her for being as beautiful as a celestial being, and clever and charming?
Why did this guy look at her like she was dog excrement?
Xu Xuejiao became unhappy. "Why are you suddenly so annoyed with me?"
Lu Chengwen opened the car door. "I don't know, it's not important. Goodbye."
Without another word, he got in and closed his eyes to rest. "Zhao Gang, let's go home."
Watching Lu Chengwen's car drive away.
Xu Xuejiao felt incredibly wronged.
This idiot must have a problem!
When I was little, you always lied to me, saying you'd be my doctor. How can you treat me like this now?
You want me to stay far away? I'll cling to you! I'll annoy you to death!
Lu Chengwen returned home, took off his coat, and threw it on the ground. He then threw his whole body down, landing face-first and falling asleep.
The sun was high in the sky.
Lu Chengwen finally began to stir. His arm moved unconsciously, and it landed on a soft, small hill.
Huh?
He scratched it a couple of times. It was quite soft.
What is this?
He opened his eyes.
I'm dead.
