The Overbearing CEO Went Too Far

[Main Story Complete] Now accepting favorites for my upcoming novel, Raising a Big Shot by Picking Up Trash and Clearing the Game [Infinite]!

Jiang Xuecheng is a CEO from a powerful, prestigious family, and he is astonishingly handsome.

With looks like his, he naturally attracts plenty of admirers. Jiang Xuecheng is fed up with them, and rumors say that Fourth Young Master Jiang hates people talking about his looks most of all, and despises those who judge others by their appearance even more.

But nobody knows that Jiang Xuecheng's only romantic relationship began because he was captivated by someone's looks.

At a banquet, Jiang Xuecheng saw Huo Kun, a down-on-his-luck minor celebrity. He was struck at first sight, couldn't forget him, and wanted him.

Jiang Xuecheng was no good man. He seemed gentle but was ruthless inside, using both soft and hard tactics to force the celebrity to take the bait.

The little celebrity was sweet and pretty. Jiang Xuecheng's thoughts wandered, and with all the groundwork laid, he was just about to make his move when the scheming, black-hearted lotus of a celebrity bared his fangs and pinned the soft-as-water CEO Jiang down, taking him all the way.

Jiang Xuecheng: ???

[Top's Perspective]

Before the age of twenty, Huo Kun was a nobody struggling to survive. After turning twenty, he became the heir to the top financial conglomerate, the Huo family, and was suddenly the talk of the town.

Rumor had it that the Huo family's young master had a shameful secret he kept hidden: he had once been Jiang Xuecheng of the Jiang family's kept lover, and Jiang Xuecheng had supposedly resorted to some underhanded methods.

Those in the know all guessed that the Huo family's young master would unleash a furious revenge against the Jiang family.

What they didn't know was that, after leaving the glare of the spotlights and entering a private presidential suite, Huo Kun closed the door, took off his expensive tailored suit, and walked to the bed. The exhausted man sleeping there, covered in marks, was none other than Fourth Young Master Jiang.

# Wasn't he supposed to make the Jiang family pay?

# Why are the rings on their hands exactly alike?

Later, Jiang Xuecheng was caught up in a scandal: The head of Xinghuang Entertainment, Jiang Xuecheng, once kept an unknown, low-ranking star from his own company as a lover [Image] [Image]

@Xinghuang Entertainment: Is this the low-ranking star you're talking about?://@Huo Group: //@Jingcheng Daily: The top financial conglomerate, the Huo family, announced their heir two days ago: Huo Kun...

Netizens: Sorry to interrupt, sorry to interrupt.

@Xinghuang Entertainment, what's going on with your star who just broke through the ceiling of the entertainment industry's beauty standards and is now with the CEO?

@Xinghuang Entertainment, let your CEO out. We won't call you a dog ever again.

@Why are your artists not as good-looking as your CEO? Are you stupid? Only an idiot would turn down easy money. Make your CEO debut! We have money!

Coming up in my author collection: Raising a Big Shot by Picking Up Trash and Clearing the Game [Infinite]. Please add it to your favorites!

Lin Zhou is a useless little guy: silly, loaded, and obsessed with spending money in games. He's played for five years without taking a single day off. But...

While everyone else is max level, he's level nine. While everyone else has tons of HP, he's a glass cannon.

Other people spend money to boost their combat power. Lin Zhou spends money to pick up junk, because he loves collecting things...

That wasn't a problem at first, until one day, all the players were inexplicably dragged into the game world.

The game data merged with the players, but... everyone had only one life.

The useless little guy clutches his three-digit HP bar and trembles, terrified that even a passing monster might touch him and instantly kill him.

Just as Lin Zhou despairingly wonders how he's supposed to survive, he spots a big shot approaching in the distance, with seven question marks for an HP bar.

He drops to his knees and clings to the big shot's leg. With tears in his eyes, Lin Zhou asks, "Big bro, do you need a sidekick?"

The number-one player on the server, inexplicably stopped by him, looks at the useless little guy as if to say: Why would I take a useless little guy along?

Lin Zhou secretly shares a view of his storage with the big shot. Then he lifts his little face proudly and says, "The System shop is total trash. My storage is number one on the server. What do you say, boss? I'll pick up junk and keep you fed."

Boss: ...

The boss suddenly thinks this useless little guy has a pleasant, clean-cut face.

Deserted Island Survival instance: Everyone is so hungry they're seeing stars. Lin Zhou, in the corner, pulls out a feast of fish and meat and offers it to the big shot with some water.

Everyone else: Someone actually puts food and water with no bonus attributes in their storage???

Lin Zhou: Me, me!

-

Horror Escape instance:

Lin Zhou, trembling after being scared by a ghost, hides behind the big shot and nervously pulls out yellow talismans and a peachwood sword.

The ghosts shriek and scatter: ??? That's allowed?

The other players: ???

Theme: No matter how many hardships you encounter, don't sink into your suffering. Hold fast to your convictions. The night will pass, and dawn is just ahead.
