Wu Yun hadn’t expected that after being away for just over a day, the office layout would have changed so drastically. The two small, meeting-room-style cubicles had been transformed into offices for the two women, complete with large, comfortable swivel chairs behind big desks. Against the wall, there was even a sofa and a coffee table.

Two young women, who looked like recent graduates, were waiting for an interview. They had been staring at Wu Yun ever since he walked in, assuming he was a handsome guy there for an interview as well. But the more they watched, the more something seemed off. Finally, they saw Wu Yun walk straight into the chairman’s office.

The two, who were roommates and good friends, exchanged a look, then got up and walked to the front desk.

Peng Yujun was fairly experienced. Seeing the information the two women had registered with, she asked, "How can I help you two?"

"Ma’am, I’d like to ask about something," the taller of the two girls began. "Who was that handsome guy who just went in? I saw him go directly into the chairman’s office."

"Oh, you mean President Wu! He’s the company’s chairman. Today was my first time seeing him, too. I hear he’s a rich kid, though," Peng Yujun explained.

’A rich kid that handsome? A domineering CEO!’ the other, slightly shorter girl thought to herself. The allure of money always added a few extra points.

Perhaps sensing what the two girls were thinking, Peng Yujun said, "You’re overthinking it. I heard from a supervisor that President Wu won’t be coming to the company often. President Wu and President Jiang will still be the ones in charge."

Hearing this, the two girls were slightly disappointed. After thanking Peng Yujun, they walked into the main office area.

Wu Yun had been overexerting himself at night these past few days. After sending a message to Wu Ying and Jiang Xinyi that he was resting in the office, he leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.

"Hey, hey! Wake up!" In his groggy state, Wu Yun heard someone calling him, the voice starting distant and growing clearer.

He opened his eyes to see Jiang Xinyi’s face close to his and jumped, instantly wide awake. "Big Sis, are you trying to take advantage of me?" As he spoke, he slapped her shapely rear with his right hand.

"Mmm~" A soft sound escaped Jiang Xinyi’s nose as she was slapped, which was enough to make the now fully-rested Wu Yun feel a rush of blood to a certain part of his anatomy.

However, Wu Yun knew now wasn’t the right time. Otherwise, he would have definitely pinned Jiang Xinyi down for a "Chairman’s Office Uncensored" special.

"Let’s go. Yingying and I are taking the management team out to dinner tonight. It’s perfect timing since you’re back, so you can come with us! Get to know everyone. Otherwise, we’ll be the only people you know when you come to the company." Jiang Xinyi grabbed Wu Yun’s hand and pulled him to his feet.

Wu Yun followed Jiang Xinyi into the main office and saw Wu Ying and four managers already waiting there.

"President Wu!"

"Hello, President Wu!"

.......

After finishing the most uncomfortable meal he’d ever had, Wu Yun said his goodbyes to the managers and returned to their apartment with the two women.

After her shower, Jiang Xinyi lay beside Wu Yun on his right, her mischievous hand tracing circles on his chest. She asked, "Did you have fun shopping today? I heard all about it. A ’senior,’ huh! I never thought you had a thing for older women. After having your fill of us, you’re going after someone else? Is she pretty?"

On his left, Wu Ying also perked up her ears.

"She is. Very pretty. A future superstar," Wu Yun said with a smile.

"I don’t believe you. I want to see a picture!" Jiang Xinyi said disbelievingly.

Wu Yun couldn’t refuse her. He unlocked his phone, pulled up the photos he had saved, and handed it to her.

Looking at the photos, Jiang Xinyi’s tone was sour with jealousy. "Of course an acting major would have that kind of charisma. Compared to her, we’re like weeds."

Wu Ying took the phone from Jiang Xinyi. Seeing the photos, she also sighed in admiration. It was impossible to be jealous!

"So, what did you buy for her today while you were out shopping?"

Jiang Xinyi and Wu Ying had already seen the receipts for the watches Wu Yun bought—another two million spent on two timepieces. They figured the things he bought for this beauty wouldn’t be cheap either.

"I bought her a Breguet watch and some clothes, but she paid for it herself. She’s a little rich girl. Makes me want to be a kept man."

"Breguet? Sounds like her family is on the same level as yours!" Wu Ying remarked.

"Don’t overthink it. I want all of you!" Wu Yun declared as he sat up. "I’m heading back to Jingyang tomorrow. So come on! Drain me dry tonight!"

The two women exchanged a glance and pulled Wu Yun back down onto the bed together.

...........

「The next morning.」

Wu Yun took a DiDi back to Jingyang.

Instead of going home, he went directly to the government service center.

"Mr. Wu, just sign here and you can get your property deed!" The agent, Liu Wei, guided Wu Yun through the final procedures at the counter.

Seeing Wu Yun receive the deed, Liu Wei added, "Mr. Wu, please follow me. I’ll take you to get the names on the utility accounts changed."

After half an hour of running around, the two of them finally completed all the paperwork.

"Mr. Wu, next time you want to buy a house, be sure to let me know. If you have any friends who are looking to buy, feel free to send them my way!"

"Okay!"

............

Wu Yun pushed open the door to his new home and saw that the inside was empty except for the furniture. He closed the door, turned around, and walked toward the elevators.

At Suning Electronics, he spent an hour picking out four air conditioners, a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and other small appliances, spending a total of 60,000. He opted for the home installation service.

He then bought some bedding and daily necessities and brought them back to his new place. In the sweltering heat, Wu Yun was dripping with sweat. He collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move.

Just then, his phone rang. A glance at the screen showed it was Gao Qiang.

"Ah Yun, what’re you up to?" It was noisy on Gao Qiang’s end, and Wu Yun could barely make out his words.

"Just bought some things for my new place and moved them in!" Gao Qiang knew Wu Yun had bought a new apartment, so he wasn’t surprised. Wu Yun had told him about winning the lottery a while back, just not how much he’d won.

"The class president is organizing a small get-together with some old classmates tonight. You coming? I heard your Lover is going to be there too!" Gao Qiang coaxed.

"Are you serious?!" Wu Yun instantly felt more alert. Counting the time before his rebirth, it had been several years since he had last seen Bai Yue. In his heart, Wu Yun had actually long since moved on from his former secret crush, but he still wanted to personally put an end to that old entanglement. From this day forward, he, Wu Yun, would be the Witch Sea King!

Wu Yun couldn’t remember if he had attended this gathering in his past life, but one thing was certain: the next time he saw Bai Yue was when he secretly went to find her during college.

"For real, I’m not kidding you. Wang Ai personally invited Bai Yue, and she agreed to come." Exceptional people were always lonely in high school. That was true for Bai Yue, and it was also true for Qi Fei.

The girls were jealous of Bai Yue’s looks, her grades, and her status as the teachers’ model student. More than that, they were jealous that she was the unattainable Lover in the hearts of all the boys. As a result, they had all more or less kept their distance from her.

Because of this, apart from a few friends, Bai Yue usually went to school and ate her meals alone. To outsiders, this "Lover" seemed aloof and cold. But Wu Yun knew it was precisely because of this that Bai Yue could empathize with his own plight, which is why she had comforted and sympathized with him.
