The Domineering CEO Takes Charge

[China's National Development and Reform Commission: Promoting the optimization and restructuring of new energy vehicle enterprises, fully lifting restrictions in the manufacturing sector...]

[Electric vehicles are rising, new energy is king—the twilight of the gods for traditional automobiles has arrived!]

[Shocking! With China's vigorous support, new energy vehicles are about to sweep the market. Choose your first car: the Redmi SU7 or Faraday Future!]

News of the new energy boom immediately dominated Douhai and every major platform. Having just finished up, Su Bai looked at the updates, a trace of chill flashing through his eyes.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, a shadow crossed his heart. But when his gaze swept over Han Zirou beside him, he could not help but smile.

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in his eyes as he stared toward the Xiao Household. He murmured coldly, "So what if you're the protagonist? I'll still crush you!"

This wonderful, blissful life had only just begun. No one could ruin it—not even a Fortune Protagonist!

Just then, he saw Uncle Wang's urgent messages. He immediately made a call and calmly instructed, "Uncle Wang, continue holding the Xiao Group shares. There is no need to rush to sell."

"There's no need to worry, either. The Xiao Household won't be hopping around for much longer!"

With that said!

He washed up, then leisurely headed to the garage and got into the Lamborghini Veneno. His expression turned solemn as he looked ahead, slammed on the accelerator, and sped toward the Zhang Household...

Xiao Fan had good luck, but how could a mere fallen family withstand the combined forces of two great families?

And today, he would take Zhang Yanran!

Su Mountain Manor!

With its verdant mountains, clear waters, and brilliant spring scenery, the enormous Xiao villa atop the mountain suddenly erupted with earth-shaking cheers...

"Fan, new energy really is the future! Even the government is backing it with policies. Your persistence was right! Let's see who still dares question my son's judgment!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

Xiao Zhenzhong, the head of the Xiao Household, looked at his precious son Xiao Fan, whom he had brought back from the hospital, and could not stop praising him. The gloom that had long weighed on him was completely swept away.

Especially now, seeing Xiao Ling'er sitting steadily beside Fan, he felt they were truly a perfect match. Perhaps breaking off the engagement had not been such a bad thing after all.

If Fan and Ling'er could get together, with the Imperial Capital Xiao Household supporting them, would their Suzhou Xiao Household not dominate the entire Jiangnan Region?

"It is merely heaven helping me," Xiao Fan said. His heart was equally stirred, but years of setbacks had long taught him to remain calm and detached.

Yet a vicious glint still flashed through his eyes. He would reclaim every grievance from the broken engagement and every insult to his name. Su Bai, was it? He would definitely make him wish he were dead!

Xiao Ling'er, dressed in elegant clothes and looking delicate and refined, smiled serenely at the sight. Now that the Xiao Group had been revived, she was quite happy as well.

After all, the Suzhou Xiao Household was a branch of the Imperial Capital Xiao Household. This would also help the Imperial Capital Xiao Household enter the new energy vehicle industry in the future.

"Brother Xiao Fan..."

She was about to offer a few words of congratulations, but the moment the words left her mouth, she recalled the push notification she had seen on Douhai last night. It claimed that Xiao Fan had sold his body to secure five billion in investment.

She froze instinctively, her brows knitting tightly as her words came to an abrupt halt. She did not know what to say. Although she scoffed at such rumors and did not quite believe them.

Still, five billion was not a sum even the Imperial Capital Xiao Household could casually hand to a stranger. Yet here they were?!

Especially when she looked at Brother Xiao Fan's handsome face, so much like that of a male escort, she ultimately could not suppress the suspicion in her mind...

While she was distracted, she suddenly noticed Xiao Fan looking at her with a solemn expression and a trace of burning passion. He spoke tenderly, "Little Sister Ling'er, do you know why I never had a girlfriend all these years?"

What?

Why did he suddenly bring this up?!

Xiao Ling'er's heart skipped a beat. She looked over in confusion, only to find Xiao Fan's eyes growing brighter. "Because you have always been in my heart, Little Sister Ling'er. That is why I devoted myself to my career all these years, hoping to find someone of equal standing!"

"Now, the opportunity is here. Are you willing to be with me?"

This sudden confession left Xiao Ling'er shocked and at a loss. She did have some fondness for Xiao Fan, but it had not reached the point of love.

She instinctively wanted to decline tactfully, but when she thought of the pressure from the Imperial Capital, her heart sank. After pondering for a moment, she smiled sweetly. "Brother Xiao Fan, haven't I always been by your side?"

Blue Lake Lido!

Located in the city's affluent downtown district, every inch of land here was worth a fortune. Not a single photograph of the place had ever circulated outside. From afar, one could only see the magnificent, palace-like manor villas.

The moment one stepped inside, the surrounding clamor was shut out. A fragrant floral scent drifted down with the breeze, refreshing the heart and mind...

As usual, Su Bai calmly arrived at the gates of the Zhang residence. The guard outside immediately hurried over, greeting him with a smile as he let him through. "Young Master Su, you're here? Are you looking for our young master again? I'll report it to the butler right away!"

With that, he opened his intercom and prepared to report in. Su Bai casually waved a hand and said softly, "No, I'm here to see Miss Zhang. Have the butler inform her. I'll wait for her in the hall."

Huh?

He was here to see Miss Zhang?!

In an instant, confusion crossed the guard's face, and countless doubts arose in his heart. Still, he quickly made the report. But as he watched Young Master Su's departing back, a shocking thought burst into his mind.

Holy shit?

Could Young Master Su really be that fierce and awesome? Had he actually won over the eldest miss of their household?! Was this the strength of Jiangnan's number one playboy?!

He was mowing them down left and right—simply a role model for their generation!

By then, Su Bai had already taken a seat in the Zhang Household's hall. Looking up, he saw a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the lofty ceiling, casting a soft glow. The surrounding walls were covered in exquisite oil paintings, each one exuding elegance...

Su Bai lazily admired the surroundings. After an unknown amount of time, the carved doors at the entrance slowly opened, and Zhang Yanran appeared in the doorway.

At a glance, she was a breathtaking sight that no one could ignore. She wore a custom-made black evening gown, its tailored cut perfectly outlining her graceful figure.

The fabric of the gown gleamed subtly beneath the lights and swayed gently with her steps, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Her snow-white, smooth shoulders and sharply defined collarbones were exposed, along with the faintly visible valley between them. She was like a rare beauty beyond compare, utterly captivating...

Su Bai's gaze could not help sweeping over her. Her collarbones were deep enough to raise fish in, and that exquisite figure was truly the envy of women everywhere!

He then raised his gaze. Zhang Yanran's face was as exquisite as ever, her features distinct and beautiful, her eyes bright and deep as though they could see through one's heart.

Her makeup was just right—not overly glamorous, yet not lacking in dignity—perfectly highlighting the aura of a wealthy heiress and CEO. Her long hair had been carefully pinned up, with several loose strands falling softly around her face, adding a touch of gentleness...

Dressed so magnificently, she left Su Bai unable to look away. He stared at her openly, his eyes brimming with amazement.

As expected of a Fortune Heroine—she had grown even more stunning, like an immortal descending into the mortal world. Su Bai broke into a brilliant smile, lifted a hand, and said leisurely, "Beauty, it really has been a long time. Did you miss me?"

Zhang Yanran could not help rolling her eyes. With a sharp stride, her long legs came into view, flawless and snow-white. In just a few steps, she arrived before Su Bai, looking down at him with all the imposing presence of a dominant CEO.

"One does not visit a temple without a reason. Why play the lecher here, Young Master Su? Why not be direct? It would make things easier for both of us..."

With that, she dropped into the seat opposite Su Bai. Her gown swayed as she leisurely crossed her snow-white legs, her black jewel-like eyes that seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts fixed on Su Bai with an unreadable look...
