[Ding, congratulations to the host for the first time exceeding 100,000 Emotion Points. Would you like to edit a new identity?]
"Yes!"
Xu Yi's eyes lit up. One hundred thousand Emotion Points...
I haven't fought a battle this rich in eight lifetimes.
Xu Yi looked at the system's virtual panel. As expected, you get what you pay for.
The background in the 100,000 range was at least at the Director level, even Department Head level. Of course, these were all city-level positions.
Various wealthy individuals and group CEOs were also available.
Xu Yi smacked his lips. Driven by curiosity, he switched to the provincial level to check how many Emotion Points were needed to become a Provincial Party Secretary.
Being influential at school was nothing. Becoming the crown prince of a province would truly be reaching the pinnacle of life.
Thanks, I'm getting ahead of myself...
Xu Yi looked at the number, which was so long it had seven zeros after the one, and felt his scalp tingle.
But one must have dreams...
He made up his mind: earn enough Emotion Points and become the provincial crown prince!
Let's see how many Emotion Points are needed for a Central Government background?
[Ding, you do not have permission to access this.]
Xu Yi: "Am I that poor? Then I'll leave?"
Sensing the increasingly intense atmosphere, Xu Yi knew he couldn't delay any longer.
After weighing the pros and cons, and glancing at Miss Huang, who sat in the main seat like a painting, he began to edit a melodramatic (strike that) satisfying story plot.
[Huang Lu, the second daughter of a century-old family in Magic City, was stolen by a competitor of the Huang family when she was young. Through a series of coincidences, she ended up in an orphanage in Port City. It was here that she met Xu Yi.
Xu Yi protected her in every way, and Huang Lu regarded Xu Yi as her only family. They depended on each other for over ten years.
Until the age of 16, when the orphanage caught fire, Xu Yi saved Huang Lu at the risk of his own life, leaving a permanent scar on his wrist.
This incident alerted the higher-ups, and Huang Lu was discovered by the Huang family and brought back to Magic City.
On the day of their separation, Huang Lu split the jade pendant she had worn since childhood into two halves, giving one to Xu Yi as a token. As they parted, Huang Lu cried heartbrokenly.
Although they were not blood-related, their emotional bond was deeper than anything else.]
[The jade pendant has been sent to the host's pocket.]
As soon as he finished editing, memories that had been sealed in Xu Yi's mind for years surged like a tide.
This was the brilliance of the system; it wasn't a crude, sudden insertion of memories. Instead, it made it seem like you had always possessed them, merely forgotten them temporarily.
"Manager Li, Furun Group's main industries are education, healthcare, and home appliances.
Your group is currently facing internal and external troubles, on the verge of collapse. What if the three of us take this opportunity to kick you while you're down?" Ji Bowen's eyes flickered, his tone laced with strong threat.
"You think you're worthy!" Li Wen said sternly.
"Heh~ Perhaps we weren't worthy before, but we can still have a say in the current Furun Group. Plus, with Miss Huang supporting the three of us, we've already soared to the heavens."
Li Wen clenched his fists tightly, glaring fiercely at Ji Bowen.
But Ji Bowen didn't care in the slightest, his face full of smug smiles.
Gu Feng: "Manager Li, if you don't agree, Furun Group will collapse. If not for yourself, you should think of your nephew, and the thousands of employees. Do you want them to be unemployed?"
Shen Shi: "So, 10% shares for each of us, or Furun Group collapses. I believe Manager Li can make the right choice."
"You're seeking death...!"
"See, getting anxious again~"
Li Wen suddenly seemed to have lost his last bit of strength and slumped powerlessly onto his chair.
"Miss Huang, if we cooperate with you, can you help Furun Group overcome this difficulty?" Li Wen asked with a sliver of hope.
Huang Lu's face was cold and distant.
"I'm very sorry, I cannot. This would severely damage my company's interests, far more than the profits generated from our cooperation. I can only guarantee not to add insult to injury and compensate your company as much as possible."
"I understand." Li Wen closed his eyes in despair.
Hearing Huang Lu's words, the three who had been tense moments ago suddenly relaxed.
Then they began to laugh arrogantly.
"Little Xu, if you have to blame anyone, blame your bad luck. In the future, you'll only inherit a company that's been carved up."
"Assistant, quickly prepare the contract. What a lack of foresight, don't keep Manager Li waiting."
The three revealed their true colors, no longer bothering to act.
Suddenly, Li Wen, as if possessed, asked, "Miss Huang, I'd like to ask why you're specifically interested in the Southwest district? That area has been abandoned for a long time and hasn't been developed yet."
Huang Lu's eyelids lifted, but her face still showed no emotion.
"To wait for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" the crowd exchanged confused glances.
"Mm... he and I parted ways in the Southwest District back then. I went there to look for him many times, but I never found him. But I believe he'll return someday.
So that he could find me, I found him. That's why I want to buy this piece of land."
Everyone listened, completely bewildered, looking at Miss Huang, who seemed detached from worldly concerns, and this past story.
What kind of devoted lover persona is this?
Not for profit, just waiting for your return amidst the ruins.
What a tough person!
At this moment, no one noticed Xu Yi's eyelashes fluttering.
"Miss Huang, I accept your partnership. I hope you'll keep your word as you promised. To add another campus to Port City."
"Okay." Huang Lu nodded slightly, a hint of brightness finally appearing on her face.
But then she looked at Xu Yi, her gaze deep.
Such a familiar feeling... is it an illusion?
"Congratulations, Miss Huang, on achieving your wish. Li Wen, it's time for us to sign the contract."
As soon as he finished speaking, four contracts appeared before Li Wen.
Li Wen stared blankly at the contracts, his face filled with frustration.
After spacing out for over a minute, he sighed and picked up his pen.
"Xiao Yi, Uncle Li is sorry to you... Brother Fan, I'm sorry!"
As the pen tip touched the paper, the three of them simultaneously showed greedy smiles.
"Uncle Li, don't sign yet!"

The three of them: "???"
"What's wrong, Xiao Yi?" Li Wen looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Don't sign! Even if Furun Group goes bankrupt, I don't want the three of them to succeed."
[Negative Emotion Points +50*3]
"What if there's still a chance to turn things around?"
Hearing Xu Yi's words, the three of them immediately became displeased, their gazes towards Xu Yi filled with fury.
"Get lost, brat. This is no place for you to speak."
"Do you really think you're the owner of Furun Group?"
"How rude, what's your status?"
"Just wait, kid. Before you can inherit the company, we'll carve it up and saddle you with massive debt."
Hearing these words, Li Wen instantly exploded. Insulting him was one thing, but insulting his nephew was unacceptable.
Huang Lu's long eyelashes fluttered incessantly, her fists unconsciously clenching.
For some reason, she felt angry hearing Xu Yi being insulted.
It made all three of them look detestable.
"You're looking for death!"
Li Wen swung his fist but was stopped by several security guards who rushed over.
Xu Yi knew the emotions were brewing sufficiently, so he shouted, "Don't touch my Uncle Li. If you have the guts, kill me."
"Brat, you think I wouldn't dare?"
Xu Yi turned to look at Huang Lu, "Miss Huang, can you help me with something?"
Ji Bowen sneered dismissively, "Don't think about buttering up Miss Huang. She's incredibly busy, how could she possibly have time for you?"
As a businesswoman, Huang Lu initially wanted to refuse, but feeling Xu Yi's gaze, the words of refusal stuck in her throat.
Finally, she nodded gently.
"What is it?"
Ji Bowen: "???"
"Could you help me find my sister? We got separated at the orphanage in the Southwest District."
[Negative Emotion Points +200]
"Sister?!"
