The Goofy CEO Insists He's a Merman Top

The young master of the Shen family is refined and pampered, but has a terrible temper. Then the family goes bankrupt, and he takes a job as an extra on a film set.

Shen Xiao: Thanks. I just crawled out of a coffin wearing corpse makeup, and all I want to do is kill, kill, kill.

His temper gets even worse.

Plenty of rich idiots have their eyes on him. He beats the dumbest ones into submission, and the rest learn to stay out of his way, waiting for the tiger to be worn down into a kitten.

But somehow, there’s always a genuine idiot around...

On his way off set, Shen Xiao gets latched onto by a total nutcase. The man is dressed in a fine suit and looks perfectly respectable, but he’s still a nutcase.

Shen Xiao’s face turns cold, a vein bulging on his forehead. Gritting his teeth, he says, “Let go.”

The man, who calls himself Li Yaolin, has the air of a corporate executive. He clings to Shen Xiao’s arm and gives it a shake, bubbles burbling from his mouth as he pleads pitifully:

“Wifey, have you forgotten our vow to be together for three lifetimes?”

.

Li Yaolin’s mind is broken. He thinks he’s a mermaid.

A poor, lucky mermaid! He may not have a beautiful tail, but he has the best wife in the world.

When they fell in love, Li Yaolin was only a tiny fish fry. But his wife didn’t just love him, she held him in the palm of her hand and said she would love him in this life, the next, and every life after that.

Later, his wife disappeared and lost her memory, but was still just as softhearted.

Though he was a stranger who had sought him out, all he had to do was shed a few tears for his wife to take pity on him and bring him home.

Li Yaolin: Sob, sob. My wife really does love me.

.

Facing the nutcase, Shen Xiao scoffs. “You say you’re a mermaid. What proof do you have?”

Li Yaolin’s eyes light up. In an instant, tears well in them, and with a plop, a pearl drops to the ground.

Perfectly round and flawless, top quality, worth at least ten million at auction. But...

Shen Xiao’s eyelid twitches. “?” Didn’t that fall out of your sleeve?!!!

Li Yaolin: Wifey, I cried it out. Q_Q

Shen Xiao raises a hand and points at him, at a loss for words.

Forget it. There’s no point arguing with a nutcase.

He narrows his eyes, turns away impatiently, and warns him, “Don’t follow me.”

But the idiot mermaid follows him all the way home, barges inside, takes up all the space, claims the place as his own, and has absolutely no shame.

Later

Shen Xiao, flushed and panting, points angrily at an interview article. The man pictured is impeccably dressed and coolly composed, and looks exactly like the idiot mermaid.

“If you’re Li Yaolin, then who’s the president of Xiaoguang Entertainment Group?”

Li Yaolin, whose memory has returned: “...”

Without letting on, he pulls his wife back into his arms. “I don’t know. Maybe my twin brother. Wifey, shall we carry on?” (Winks and blows bubbles.)
