The Antisocial CEO Is Actually Everyone's Darling

Lu Xiaoyuan grew up dependent on other people's charity and was an extreme introvert. Then one day, he suddenly learned that he was actually the youngest son of a wealthy family who had gone missing. When he returned home, he discovered that beneath its glamorous exterior, the family was already in shambles. His father was busy with work, and his mother had died of illness. His eldest brother was cold and taciturn, distant from the rest of the family. His second brother was rebellious and unruly, and hadn't come home in years. And in the middle of all this, his father actually said he wanted to give him the chairman's seat. Lu Xiaoyuan: No way! He'd drive the company into bankruptcy, and his brothers would never agree! His eldest brother, expressionless: "If Xiaoyuan inherits it, I have no problem with that." His second brother, raising an eyebrow: "Relax. If you run it into the ground, you can just go abroad with your big brother. I'll support you." His father, pleased: Brothers caring for each other. This is what family is all about. Lu Xiaoyuan: Is this seriously okay? . With no way to refuse, Lu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to diligently take over, despite being an introvert. When employees greeted him, he answered in a trembling voice. At company meetings, he sat in the very back corner. When an entertainer came into his hotel room to sleep with him in exchange for favors, he was so scared he almost jumped out the window. This couldn't go on. He tried hard to cultivate a domineering CEO persona, but noticed that people in the industry were looking at him with more and more affection (?). Employees: Our CEO is the cutest! We'll follow Young Master Lu forever! Rival company: Anyone who dares to cheat the Lu Group is picking a fight with our entire company! Their artists: Poach someone? Not a chance. His brothers: As expected, he's got Lu family blood in his veins... Wait, which pig has been snuffling around our precious little cabbage!? Reader's notes: 1. Family-focused, everyday-life story, with the romance coming later. -----Coming soon: "My Ex-Boyfriend Isn't Human [Apocalypse]"---- Before the Apocalypse came, Fang Ming once had a lover. They dated for just one month. After that month, the person found him and said only one thing. "Xiao Ming, let's break up." A faint smile hung on that beautiful face, and the person's tone was as usual. Fang Ming accepted it without asking why. He never imagined it would be the last time they saw each other. Soon, the Apocalypse came. . The world grew colder, zombies ran rampant, and plants grew out of control. Earth was no longer fit for human habitation. Still, in order to survive, people did their best to find ways to make a living. Ten years passed, and Fang Ming had no family left by his side. After a mission went wrong, he fell to the ground. His blood was draining away, his body growing colder by the second. All he could see was endless darkness. Death was closing in. Fang Ming felt it clearly. Yet amid the darkness, he faintly glimpsed a flash of blue light. He forced his eyes open, and a familiar face came into view. The person had barely changed. Their skin was pale, almost translucent, and their beautiful face looked far too clean for this Apocalypse. Only their pair of mismatched eyes seemed inhuman, like clear, pure blue gemstones. Standing there, the person looked down at him and called his name, just as always. "Xiao Ming." Fang Ming didn't answer. He thought he really must be beyond saving. Otherwise, how could he be seeing someone he should never have met again? After all, before the Apocalypse came, he had attended this ex-boyfriend's funeral. This person had clearly been dead for a long time. Theme: Sincerity for sincerity.
