Lingxiao Capital, Setting the Stage Against the Protagonist

He spent the night at Cloud Summit Villa.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Jiang Che bade his family farewell and drove away from Cloud Summit Villa.

Having taken over the storyline involving the Seven Senior Sisters and the Soldier King Bodyguard from Jiang Wantang, Jiang Che could hardly wait to meet this so-called Soldier King protagonist.

According to the plot, the Soldier King Xiao Chen had only just returned to Linjiang City. He had barely any influence, and his cultivation was merely at the Late Stage Bright Strength—slightly inferior even to Jiang Che's.

He was the perfect target to test his skills on.

Xiao Chen was the leader of a mercenary group called the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group in a small African country. In Africa, they committed nearly every evil imaginable.

Trading Black slaves, trafficking human organs, assassinating leaders of small African nations, and smuggling arms were all part of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group's business.

Someone like that could actually become a protagonist?

Jiang Che found it utterly incomprehensible.

Aside from trading Black slaves, which of the other things Xiao Chen had done would not earn him execution eight hundred times over?

The guy had never been a good person to begin with, so Jiang Che would feel no psychological burden whatsoever in killing him. After all, he was no saint.

It was only killing someone. It was not as if he had never killed before.

Since these Children of Destiny would eventually join forces according to the Destiny Trajectory and overthrow him, Jiang Che naturally would not show them any mercy.

Mercy toward an enemy was cruelty toward oneself.

As for that Wild Dragon coming down the mountain?

According to the plot, Lin Yi was still some time away from descending the mountain. Jiang Che had plenty of time to make arrangements, and when the time came, he would give him a grand gift as well!

After leaving Cloud Summit Villa, Jiang Che did not return directly to Qingteng Villa. Instead, he headed straight for Lingxiao Capital in the city center.

The Pagani Zonda sped down the road, and every vehicle in its path yielded the way.

About an hour later, Jiang Che arrived in front of Lingxiao Capital's office building.

"Good morning, President Jiang..."

After entering the building, employees passing by greeted Jiang Che nonstop. Some of the female employees' eyes turned dreamy, their legs pressed together, brimming with poetry.

Jiang Che smiled in acknowledgment before entering the president's private elevator and heading straight to the twenty-sixth floor.

Lingxiao Capital was an investment company under Jiang Che's name.

After he came of age, Mom gave Jiang Che five hundred million in spending money every month.

Naturally, some remained after his daily expenses for food, drink, and entertainment.

After saving up several months' worth of spending money, Jiang Che casually opened an investment company.

After three years of development, Lingxiao Capital had become one of Linjiang City's foremost enterprises. It was massive in scale, had a market value of over a hundred billion, and held shares in many of Linjiang City's prominent companies.

It was precisely because of his achievements over the past three years that Jiang Che had been bestowed with the title of "God of Investment."

In truth, it was all an undeserved reputation.

The main reason he had been able to manage Lingxiao Capital so impeccably over the years was that he could obtain insider information from his Old Man, Jiang Chenzhou.

Being one step ahead in everything, it was hard not to make money.

When you stood in the wind, even a pig could fly.

After the elevator chimed and reached the top floor, Jiang Che gave an instruction before heading directly toward his office.

Sitting in the spacious executive chair, Jiang Che tapped his fingers against the desk and waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, a series of knocks sounded by his ear, and Jiang Che casually said, "Come in."

The office door slowly opened, and a tall man in a suit walked in. Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looked every bit like a refined scoundrel.

"President Jiang, this is the project proposal you requested regarding investing in Lanzi Group..."

As the man spoke, he respectfully presented the document with both hands and placed it on the desk.

If you can't find it by Search Book Title, try Search Author instead. It may have simply been Renamed!

"Little Han..."

"How long have you been with the company?"

Jiang Che did not immediately open the document. His fingers lightly tapped against the desk as he suddenly asked an apparently random question.

"Um..."

"President Jiang, I have been at Lingxiao Capital for one year, three months, and twenty-four days..."

Han Yang answered cautiously, secretly observing Jiang Che's expression as a wave of anxiety suddenly rose within him.

Generally speaking, when a boss spoke to you like this, you were probably about to be in trouble.

He might be demoted, or he might be fired outright.

Of course, nothing was absolute. Maybe the boss remembered your contributions and wanted to promote you instead.

Because he couldn't figure out what Jiang Che was thinking, Han Yang felt somewhat nervous, afraid that Jiang Che might fire him on a whim.

After all, as Jiang Che's secretary, his monthly salary started at one hundred thousand, with full insurance and housing fund contributions, company-provided housing, and every possible benefit.

If Jiang Che really fired him, he would never find such a good position again in his life.

"One year, three months, and twenty-four days?"

"You remember it that clearly?"

"Have you considered changing positions?"

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and continued.

Han Yang had earned his master's degree from Oxford University. He was the genuine article among overseas returnees.

When he had applied to Lingxiao Capital, Jiang Che had seen that he was quick-witted and diligent, so he made him his secretary, responsible for handling miscellaneous documents for him. His Work Ability was quite good.

"President Jiang, what do you mean?"

Han Yang froze for a moment before asking cautiously.

"The Marketing Department still needs a manager. Go there..."

"Also, recruit a new secretary for me. The salary and benefits remain the same. Female, bachelor's degree, at least 1.68 meters tall, regular features, no tattoos."

Jiang Che casually flipped through the investment proposal without even raising his head as he replied.

As for having a boss's secretary and all that, Jiang Che wanted to give it a try too.

What if he happened to run into a wild heroine?

When there was work, the secretary would handle it. When there wasn't...

"Yes, President Jiang, I understand!"

Han Yang took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, though his voice still trembled slightly.

At last, this massive stroke of fortune had fallen into his lap!

Thanks to his parents, thanks to the motherland, thanks to President Jiang...

Naturally, Han Yang understood the implication behind Jiang Che's words. He knew his young and promising boss wanted to indulge in some office play, so of course he would not be foolish enough to expose it outright.

Regular features?

What kind of woman counted as having regular features?

Naturally, the prettier, the better!

Han Yang secretly made up his mind. He would personally oversee this secretary recruitment and would definitely live up to President Jiang's recognition!

"Notify Lanzi Group that I want to meet with their president tomorrow to discuss the investment project in detail."

After finishing the investment proposal, Jiang Che gave his instructions.

The Asset Management Department had submitted the proposal to invest in Lanzi Group a month ago, but everyone had their own opinions and the arguments had never stopped. As a result, the proposal had remained unapproved, waiting for him to make the decision.

"Yes, President Jiang. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Han Yang nodded slightly. After making Jiang Che a cup of coffee, he left the office to begin arranging the relevant matters.

After Han Yang left, Jiang Che took out all the various documents that had piled up over the past two months and began reviewing and approving them in earnest.
