2024-10-29 19:42:56Ru Weimin was reputed to be an extremely frigid man.
Only a few people were truly important to him, and they were his closest family members and childhood friends. Other than that, he would treat everyone sternly and strictly.
He wasn't bad; it's just that none of them could pique his interest.
Most of the time, his interactions with these "unwanted people" were short and precise. He never would hide his oppressive aura and would often intimidate the other person if he was in a bad mood. Only a few people can handle his temperament, but they still won't try to test his bottom line.
He was like a tyrant emperor, always demonstrating his power to threaten society.
Everyone knows that ever since he was still young, Ru Weimin had achieved what an ordinary person could not get. He was a character who was born just to become great and powerful.
He started reading at the age of one. When children were just learning how to walk, he was already calculating numbers. The moment he turned eight, Ru Weimin had already graduated from elementary school. He skipped the entire junior high school and completed high school before reaching fourteen.
Ru Weimin shone more when he entered university. In just two years, he had finished two particular courses with excellent grades before he proceeded to secure a master's degree. If not for his father's handing him the company when he reached eighteen, Ru Weimin will continue to take up more courses to fill his resume and show everyone how he lived up to expectations.
Many envied him, but most of the people worshiped him, especially the women. Who didn't want a handsome guy who has excellent grades, good physical ability, and was rich?
Ru Weimin became an existence comparable to a male god.
It merely took three years for Ru Industries to overtake the companies at the top. Under Ru Weimin's ministrations, every project and product released by the company will always be a hit. He placed Ru Industries in the spotlight, standing alongside with the companies that had been running for decades.
His talent in business made the veterans look up at him with respect, which added to the fact that Ru Weimin was not only business-smart but also very good-looking. Many of his business partners offered their daughters for marriage, but Ru Weimin refused them diligently.
It seems that he was not only a formidable opponent but also a man with a stone heart. He did not want to associate himself with other worldly matters other than his business. Romance was a fickle thing that he very much avoided.
Many people have said the person that can make Ru Weimin's heart waver will be the most amazing person in the whole world.
However, yesterday, only just seeing the half-dead expression of that new employee made Ru Weimin's cold facade waver. It wasn't love at first sight since butterflies and shits are superficial for him; rather, it was a feeling of wanting to pet someone.
Yes, you read it right. Ru Weimin suddenly had the urge to reach out to that person and pet his head like a dog. Despite the slug-like appearance of Jun Zihao, he still had the imagination to do so.
For him, Jun Zihao resembled his pet dog. And Ru Weimin's best friend was his pet dog.
Looking over the desk, Ru Weimin's eyes lingered on the line-up of picture frames of his family. His family only consisted of five members - his parents, his adorable younger sister and the still very young youngest brother.
This was in stark contrast to the Jun family, which had five sons but no daughters, a fact that the brothers lamented bitterly. At least one of them should have turned into a woman! Why are there only sword wielders in their family?
One of the picture frames displayed his young self with his younger sister standing on his side and a black shaggy dog on the other. Reaching out for the object, Ru Weimin's eyes showed a longing glint while gently rubbing the surface where the dog was sitting.
The dog was a gift from his father when he graduated from high school. It has a far-off mixed breed of Siberian husky that gave its eyes a striking blue color. This eye color is almost identical to Jun Zihao's, and if ever Ru Weimin will see Jun Zihao, he will also note the matching expression between the two.
Maybe if his pet dog and Jun Zihao sat side by side, nobody would see the difference.
"Boss, we have already collected the information about him."
A man with a shaved head, black eyeglasses, and a black suit approached Ru Weimin. The gentle gaze of the boss changed, looking over with a straight expression at the folder the other man placed on his desk.
Ru Weimin suddenly felt annoyed when he realized he couldn't get the image of that person away from his head, so he made his men get information from that man. Only this move made his heart feel at ease.
The folders handed to him were the resume Jun Zihao gave to HR when he applied to the company. The other essential information was forwarded to his email. Ru Weimin first checked the paper to see the basic information about the man, like his full name, age, nationality, etc.
His name was Jun Zihao. He was already 23 years old, only five years younger than Ru Weimin. His grades from elementary to high school were rather ordinary, but he graduated from an elite school.
The picture Jun Zihao used in this biography was a graduation photo with his senior uniform on. Ru Weimin recognized the uniform since he was also a graduate of that university. He was born on April 1st, under the sign of Aries.
The information about Jun Zihao was very plain; he fit the description of a commoner. Ru Weimin didn't see anything special in the resume. Well, aside from the university's recommendation letter, there wasn't much to remember about this guy.
After that, he moved on to the next course, which was reading the document his men found from digging up Jun Zihao's background. With his network, Ru Weimin can get any information from any person. May it was the lunch that he ate three years ago on this certain date, or the people that he interacted with recently - he can get it.
As usual, the first thing that will appear is the person's biography. However, in this document, all the family members and their pictures would be present. Ru Weimin skimmed through the basic information and went straight to his family line.
An expression of surprise appeared on his straight face. The people that he had seen many times resurfaced on the screen. Just by looking at their faces, Ru Weimin can pinpoint eight out of ten resemblances between the people. There's no wonder that, aside from looking the same as his dog, Jun Zihao has a prominent facial mark.
The earlier enthusiasm to find out about this person suddenly dimmed. Seeing how nobody reacted to Jun Zihao's application means that the youth entered the company by hiding his identity.
Though Ru Weimin wasn't biased, the fact that the young master deliberately withheld his origin means that he entered the company for a reason. Why would a Jun join a company that was diametrically opposed to his own?
The Jun Family and Ru Industries had been in competition for years. Though the competition was purely for their businesses, in reality, both of the families were quite close since the founding fathers were once best friends in ancient times.
It's just that as time passed by, the relationship between the latter kin departed, causing the family-like treatment to acquaintances. Also, the rivalry between the businesses made the whole ordeal lengthen the close relationship further.
The reason why they remained in a straight line balance was because the Jun Family was a pacifist faction. They would fight but never resort to any harsh or underhanded tricks. They would rather have their company bankrupt than be tagged as a heartless family.
This honorable trait made the family a favorable business partner since they were thoroughly trustworthy in their job. Especially now, when the four brothers who were all excellent were holding the family prestige all over again.
However, it doesn't mean that they can't fight. They just don't like fighting. Jun Zihao's entering Ru Industries...
Is he here to become a spy?

The entire top floor is regarded as the company's pinnacle. This was the humble abode of the Great Emperor Ru Weimin. The floor was divided into three considerable sections. The first section was known as the Executive Hall. Anyone entering the top floor will immediately come into contact with this dark polished stone brick wall embedded with large lettered gold fonts embellished with LED lights to glorify its position. Turning a corner, the office surrounded by one-way dark stained glass walls would be seen. A conference table coupled with gray carpeted chairs was placed inside, facing a platform with a rostrum set up adjacent to the door. Both floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with venetian blinds. An overhead projector was installed on the ceiling, with a wide whiteboard occupying the stark wall behind the rostrum. There were additional microphones, one at the table and one on the side of the stage. Other decorations, like potted plants, were a

The ladies were troubled by Qi Sying's distraught expression. This person would not appear unless someone specifically requested his presence, right? Furthermore, no matter how meticulous San Zhao was, there were instances when he forgot to alert the personnel on the reception of someone's arrival. They recalled that they had previously blocked the CEO's sister from visiting her brother. They got in contact with the CEO's office because they didn't want something like this to happen again. As was customary, the call would be channeled through the secretary before being forwarded to the CEO. San Zhao answered the phone right away.

Despite the fact that Jun Zihao had already been appointed to become the CEO's personal secretary, it was clear that this was merely a false title. After observing his "odd" activities for a few days, the company's employees discovered he was no different than a servant. Because Jun Zihao had done nothing else but brew coffee, make tea, buy him lunch, get this brand-new shirt for the CEO, the boss was thirsty offer him cold water, dump the trash downstairs, photocopy this blank bond paper, get the boss an umbrella, park his car, massage his shoulders...etc. The last thing hasn't happened yet, but he'll be ordered to do it sooner or later.

Wen Yuan notified them about Jun Zihao's invitation. Everyone enthusiastically accepted the offer. They were so excited they couldn't wait for the day to end. "Xiao Hao did not forget about us! He is such a wonderful person!" One of the ladies commented, openly sending Jun Zihao a "gentleman" card. "That child is incredibly kind. He would never hesitate to help someone out. You remembered the other day when I was asked to carry two boxes of documents? It just so happened that Xiao Hao and I met on the way. He assisted me carry the boxes up to the seventh floor!" "Why did you allow him help you? You should have just declined. We're all aware of what the higher-ups were up to. He is already tired working around," someone pointed out. They are all aware of Jun Zihao's status. They were not too naive to not see what San Zhao was doing. Only the blind and people like Jun Zihao would be fooled by such a lawless act. They could only sigh since they couldn't

It would be wrong if Jun Zihao did not ever question why the system was giving him these tasks. To give him points by just doing small tasks – isn’t that a disadvantage to the other side? Considering this, the extra missions' simplicity did not correspond to the difficulties of the Main and Side missions. It hasn't been until now that Qi Sying grasped the significance of these sentiments. The extra missions paved the way for Qi Sying's integration into the world as well as let him decide on Jun Zihao's fate. The system did not issue him any restrictions but also did not allow him to just recklessly act things out. These small tasks worked as suggestive options that would guide him towards the path of no regrets. No wonder it was called "extra mission" since it was not an obligatory action. Qi Sying was now undergoing an important event that might help Jun Zihao in the future. According to the story, Jun Zihao brought his senior colleagues to d

When the question was asked, everyone else stopped eating. They locked their gaze on the individual who had posed the query. What are you doing? Did you know that the Jun Family and Ru Industries were in competition with one another? Jun Zihao was about to take a bite when he was interrupted by the question. He set the fork down and sat back, restlessly eating the food he'd just taken a bite of. Jun Zihao stooped his head, attempting to make himself smaller. He had the appearance of a child who was being bullied. For a while, the room was deafeningly silent before a faint whisper broke the trance. "Um... Y-you could guess I have some connections w-with them." He didn't directly reveal his position. Everyone was aware of the huge family size of the Jun Family that even the main branch had five sons. They were guessing which family branch Jun Zihao belonged to. "Ah... That's good, very good," someone tried to ease the tension. "I never thought w

The butler still looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything. Well, if the young master was constipated, then he suggests the young master should avoid eating foods that have too much fiber and take pineapples into consideration. If anything else, he should drink a lot of water to at least lighten his digestion. Young people these days often eat junk food or not eat anything at all. Everything was processed, so it was no wonder many people would have queasy stomachs and delicate immune systems. The butler took note of giving the young master Jun a healthy diet plan. But this thought was not the one that made the old man puzzled. What he wanted to know was why the young master had to leave the private room if it has a comfort room installed inside? To become an excellent establishment, the owner of the restaurant exhausted all its resources to create a place that can satisfy the customers.

However, Jun Zihao's situation is not promising. Although he was still conscious, this did not guarantee that everything was fine. He was taken immediately to the ICU by Ru Weimin to have his body checked. His body must have encountered something to cause such a severe reaction. It's better to be safe than sorry, so check it. Jun Zihao, on the other hand, experienced a drifting sensation. Although he was unable to describe it precisely, he felt as though something heavy had been removed from his body. Or, in some other way, the weight of his body was gently dissipating, just as a soul would gradually depart from its body. It wasn't a good experience. Such vulnerability was something Jun Zihao loathed. He doesn't want to be a burden. The want to repay all the kindness shown to him should be coming from the original soul's subconscious. And the only way he could have felt worthy was by giving himself up. He believed that he was unworthy of treatment. Ruminating through the previou

Jun Zihao is indistinguishable at that time. His black hair has been colored yellow and green, and he wore hefty make-up on his face, creating a smokey effect around his eyes adorned with a few silver stickers while his lips were painted black. His thick eyebrows are sort of trimmed to form a crisscross contour, added by a piercing on both ends. If there is anything that is excessive on his body, that is his piercings. His brows were pierced, and he wore two little red buttons as embellishments. His nose and tongue were not spared, as they were shackled with either a small chained diamond brace or a ring-like gem. But the most remarkable place is his ears, which are almost encased with jewelry. There were various types, of all sizes and colors. One would want to know and ask if his ears are heavy because of the shocking number of accessories dangling. His appearance at that time did not resemble anything from his current smart appearance. It nearly gave the impression that they we

Jun Zihao had become very become busy for the past few weeks. According to the memories from the original soul, it would take at least two weeks to finalize the product proposal. With the assistance of the Creative Department's seniors, it should be possible to complete the ordeal in one month and move on to physical fabrication the following month. Despite how simple it sounded, Jun Zihao was the busiest during this season. He must not only evaluate the proposals and requirements for the product, but he must also travel to several locations to scout materials until they find a source that is both inexpensive and efficient. Only after contracting with their supplier did his load lessen and have the staff check on the progress of the procurement while he concentrated on the presentation. Without the terrible plagiarizing incident, Jun Zihao would have shone the brightest on the conference. However, with Qi Sying handling things at his pace, the progress of the project became quest

That shouldn't be the case, should it? San Zhao took a deep breath, trying to appear professional and sensible at the same time. Two persons pressed up against each other does not mean that they are kissing, does it? Well, in many cases, it couldn't just be kissing. It's also likely that they're merely talking about something, perhaps a big secret that required them to get that close to avoid leaking the information. Yes, that's most likely it. There's no way his boss and his business opponent's son are kissing in the office! The secretary gingerly knocked on the glass door, clearing his throat lightly. He didn't dare to stare accusingly at the two gentlemen and pretended he couldn't notice anything wrong. He proceeded towards his boss as he usually does, disregarding Ru Weimin's disdainful scowl.

Kabedon – Qi Sying learned this word when he accidentally overheard the conversation of his female cousins when he visited the ancestral house last weekend. According to them, it is a Japanese word that represents the action of pinning someone on the wall whilst caging them. It's a common romantic move in romance shoujo mangas, where the male lead pins the female lead to the wall. For the reason for such an action, they said that it is to have a close encounter with someone, either trying to intimidate the other or just doing it for fun. But the most particular reason is that it is close enough for two people to kiss. Yeah, right, like pinning someone on the wall and kissing them.

It was the weekend. Qi Sying was supposed to come to work, but since the CEO would not be present, his presence would not be necessary. Even though he was Ru Weimin's personal secretary, the one holding the "legitimate" position was still San Zhao, so he had no right to complain. Qi Sying happily accepted the rest day. Who didn't want to have it, anyway? It might also be treated as a day off without getting harassed by those bullied. Besides, he promised to visit the ancestral house this weekend, so he very much seized the chance. As for the overbearing CEO, Ru Weimin was sincerely releasing his ice-cold aura without restraint as he sat on a small couch. San Zhao, the person standing next to him, was unfazed by the pressure and kept his gaze fixed on the subject of their attention.

While Ru Weimin was in the midst of contemplating, Qi Sying vomited once more. This time, Ru Weimin did not hesitate to come closer and support the youth. Even though their interactions were indirect and primarily consisted of Ru Weimin discreetly stealing glances at Jun Zihao, he still felt he had a duty to care for the young man. As the young man puked solid air, he stroked his back, trying to relieve pressure points and make his retching less painful. This small gesture helped Qi Sying gradually recover.
