Chapter 1136: Ruthless CEO 26

“Where and where? Talents like you are exactly what every company competes for. It’s our honor to hire you.” Minister Li smiled warmly.

“You’re flattering me too much.” Tang Wan smiled and signed the contract.

Only after she signed did Minister Li finally relax. “Alright, this is settled.”

He closed the folder. “Let me take you to your future working environment.”

“Okay.” Tang Wan nodded.

As they walked toward the president’s office area, her guess gradually became clear. When she saw the independent workstation placed less than five meters from the CEO’s desk, she couldn’t help but silently twitch her lips.

So this was “new hire treatment”?

Minister Li quickly explained, as if afraid she would misunderstand. “Our president is a workaholic. This arrangement is for efficient communication, easier consultation, and preventing delays in decision-making. It also helps protect company confidentiality.”

Tang Wan blinked. “I understand. Thank you. I’ll do my best.”

Minister Li nodded in satisfaction. “The president will arrive in five minutes. You can wait here.”

“Alright, thank you.”

After he left, Tang Wan calmly sat down.

Four minutes later, footsteps approached.

The office door opened.

Li Shuangtong and his secretary walked in.

Hearing the sound, Tang Wan immediately stood up and looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Li? It’s you?”

The secretary tactfully excused himself and left.

Now only the two of them remained.

Li Shuangtong’s tone softened slightly. “Surprised?”

“Of course.” Tang Wan smiled. “LS Group’s president has always been mysterious. I didn’t expect it to be you.”

Seeing her smile, Li Shuangtong’s eyes softened slightly, though his expression remained calm. “I didn’t expect the new CEO hired by HR… to be you.”

Tang Wan tilted her head. “So this is fate?”

Li Shuangtong’s lips curved faintly. “You could say that.”

The two smiled at each other.

Tang Wan extended her hand. “Then… happy cooperation, Mr. Li.”

Li Shuangtong shook her hand. “Happy cooperation.”

In his mind, however, another thought quietly surfaced:
This is cooperation at work… but later, it will be cooperation in another sense.

Hopefully, they will both be very satisfied.

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 3: I Am Your Father

“Even if what you say is true, what exactly are you?” “I’m not a thing! I’m a system! Haven’t you ever read system novels before?” the child said loudly. Tang Wan finally couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Your name really is Daddy? Can’t your name be changed? I could even be your mother. Aren’t you embarrassed making me call you Daddy?” “The name can’t be changed. Every system has a serial number, and my number is called Daddy!” In reality, his number was 88. But since 88 sounded like “Daddy,” why not let the host call him father? He really was a clever little ghost, taking advantage of the host verbally like this! He silently gave himself a thumbs-up. ... Looking at his old-fashioned expression, Tang Wan couldn’t help stepping forward and reaching out her hands to knead his cheeks. “It feels nice, just like a real person. Are you actually alive?” Tang Wan asked in surprise. As Tang Wan pinched his cheeks, they immediately turned red. Then, with a stern expression...
