“Brother-in-law, you're really paying a lot of attention to this Zuo Sicheng!” During the evening's rest, Huang He, while resting his head on Leng Zhiwen's smooth, fair, and elastic thigh, which was capable of kicking a strong man flying with a high leg raise, groped her intimately.
Leng Zhiwen hummed softly, trying to use small talk to fend off Huang He's wandering hands.
“I can’t help but pay attention. This guy is an unprecedented genius. In fact, if it weren’t for him, we two wouldn’t have met, gotten to know each other, or ended up together. I’m determined to get this person!” Huang He stated very directly.
Actually, there was something Huang He hadn’t mentioned. After reviewing intelligence, he discovered that Zuo Sicheng’s life had been completely changed because of his own rebirth, leading to his appearance in this world.
If he hadn't revitalized the Jiangnan Group and covered the treatment expenses at the last moment, Zuo Sicheng would most likely have given up treatment entirely and died in the hospital. He wouldn't have experienced this rebirth from a brute into a genius.
In fact, Huang He harbored a secret thought that he couldn't share with others: Zuo Sicheng's genius might have been entirely his doing.
Huang He had also consulted numerous ancient and modern documents and found many cases of vegetative patients waking up. However, almost all of them awoke as infants aged 1-2, with intellectual disabilities. Even with subsequent slow learning, they could never recover to a normal level. They couldn't even control their bodies freely, essentially being disabled.
But Zuo Sicheng, upon waking from a vegetative state, not only became lively and fully recovered but also possessed an extraordinarily developed intellect, suddenly reaching the peak human intelligence of 318. Such a case was unknown in later generations, and certainly didn't exist in his previous life.
He was truly an anomaly.
So, the question arose: why did such an anomaly appear, and why was this anomaly so closely connected to him, essentially caused by Huang He himself?
Huang He believed there were only two possible answers: either it was pure coincidence, or Zuo Sicheng's life was directly altered by his own rebirth. From a fatal outcome, it abruptly shifted to a rebirth, thus being changed by some great force, transforming him into a genius.
It was like someone studying vast amounts of online novels and posing the question: why do transmigrators always become the protagonists of the world and have glorious futures?
Of course, one could say it's the author's doing, otherwise, readers wouldn't enjoy it. But if one were to conduct a serious study and make some conjectures.
It would likely be that when transmigrators or reborn individuals appear in this world, they stir up the original rules of this world, creating a branching worldline.
During this process, a large amount of world power would be generated. This power would mostly concentrate on the transmigrator themselves, becoming luck, allowing the transmigrator to find treasures and become the protagonist.
Or, it could more simply and directly evolve into a system attached to the transmigrator.
In his previous life, Huang He had also read a theory stating that human transmigration wasn't a passive, forced insertion into another world, but rather an active invitation from the world's will.
This was because the world's will discovered that its world might be heading towards destruction, and the original inhabitants were trapped by their own destinies, unable to transcend.
It could only invite an anomaly from another world, then pour all the world's luck onto this anomaly, thus turning them into a transmigrator with innate immense luck.
Huang He was reborn and very smoothly became the richest man in China, possessing various black technologies he didn't have in his previous life. This entire process took only three years, which was impossible under normal circumstances. Therefore, it was highly likely that the world's luck was bestowed upon Huang He, making everything he did incredibly smooth.
During Huang He's rebirth, some luck might have leaked onto those deeply connected to him or whose fates were directly altered by his rebirth, thus leading to Zuo Sicheng's rise.
If this theory held true, then Tong He was also fortunate, as his name was never heard of in the previous life. His destiny must have been changed by Huang He.
Of course, these thoughts were merely the result of Huang He's idle musings. Sometimes, reflecting on his experiences after rebirth, Huang He felt the smoothness was almost terrifying, naturally leading to such wild speculations.
“Well, it’s definitely because I, Huang He, am wise and mighty, having grasped the laws of world development, that I could soar to such heights!” Huang He thought to himself.
“By the way, brother-in-law, what would you do if Zuo Sicheng had chosen not to come back and had really gone abroad by plane?” Leng Zhiwen asked curiously.
“There’s a 95% chance he’ll stay!” Huang He chuckled, “Don’t you think this person’s behavior is too strange? Just like what his father said during our meeting, Zuo Sicheng and I have no outstanding grievances. He’s a smart person himself, no longer the brute he used to be, plus I’m giving him $100 million in cash.”
“Whether he believes my apology or not, or even if he secretly wants revenge, he should outwardly, like his father, use all sorts of tactics and sincerity to placate me, gain my trust, ensure his safety, and then plan his next moves.”
“But this guy, knowing I possess immense power, actively lowered his stance to apologize to him, yet he turned around and became aggressive, criticizing me in various ways, as if only to provoke me. What do you think? Is this normal behavior for a smart person?” Huang He asked.
“Who knows? Perhaps Zuo Sicheng’s mind still retains the inertia of his past personality!” Leng Zhiwen replied.
“Ah…” Huang He was taken aback. He hadn’t considered this possibility, but it seemed unlikely. How could such a smart person do something so foolish?
So Huang He continued, “No, he wouldn’t be that foolish. Besides, I can see something called ambition in his eyes. This man is now filled with ambition. And someone filled with ambition would be even less likely to do something foolish that hinders their future!”
“But he did these things. So there’s only one answer. He wants to test me, to see if I truly intend to let him go, to see if I truly let go of all past grudges, and if I will provide him with the best research environment and ample funds to help him achieve his life ambitions!”
“So all his actions are tests to see if I truly give him freedom, if I am truly benevolent, and if I can tolerate his outrageous behavior!”
“Fine, if he wants to test me, I’ll indulge him. That’s why I’m so sure he won’t leave!” Huang He stretched, then embraced Leng Zhiwen. With a sly grin, he said, “Alright Zhiwen, how about we play the ‘five-in-one’ game today?”
“Ah? What do you mean? How do we play?” Leng Zhiwen was stunned, completely misunderstanding Huang He’s words.
“It’s ‘five temptations, one monk’!” Huang He exclaimed, then pounced.
Actually, there was something Huang He hadn't told Leng Zhiwen. Although his hands couldn't reach San Marino, Zuo Sicheng couldn't directly reach San Marino. He would inevitably have to disembark in Italy.
And now, Huang He had a shoe production base in Italy. Through business dealings, Huang He had established very pleasant cooperative relationships with some local powers in Italy.
Therefore, if Zuo Sicheng did indeed take off by plane, his arrival in Italy would be his final disappearance.
After all, he would have disappeared in Italy. What did that have to do with Huang He!
————————
“Hey, don’t bother me, I want to watch the premiere of my TV show!” After their intimate encounter, before the mess on the bed could be tidied up, Leng Zhiwen eagerly turned on the television and found Hunan Satellite TV.
Today was the premiere of Chinese Paladin, and it was also the first time Leng Zhiwen appeared on television as a protagonist. Naturally, Leng Zhiwen wouldn't miss this first time in her life.
It was just a bit inconvenient timing, and Huang He was too wicked.
So, she had used a move called ‘Phoenix Absorbing Water,’ a move Huang He had never known before. It was incredibly potent. Huang He, who could normally last 30 minutes, was defeated in just 5 minutes. His thighs were still trembling; it was too exhilarating.
And Leng Zhiwen successfully caught the premiere of the first episode of the drama.
“Hmph, I will never cooperate with Hunan Satellite TV in this lifetime. F*** them!” Huang He's expression was very displeased. For the current Boss Huang to show such anger, it seemed Hunan Satellite TV had truly pushed him to his limit.
The reality was indeed so. According to the previous bidding and the agreement signed by both parties, Chinese Paladin should have aired in January. This was at the start of the winter break, a time with a large audience, and one of the prime time slots of the year.
After all, entertainment wasn't very developed at that time, and watching TV dramas at home during the New Year was a very pleasant pastime.
However, three days before the scheduled broadcast, Hunan Satellite TV suddenly informed Tangren Pictures that they had changed their original plan. They aired "My Fair Princess 3: Heavenly Realm on Earth" in the January slot, and "Chinese Paladin" was postponed to February.
This news instantly infuriated Boss Huang. This was clearly a lack of respect for him, Huang He. Boss Huang was ready to immediately terminate the contract and find a different platform for Chinese Paladin.
However, his lawyer reminded Boss Huang that the contract contained a clause stating that in the event of force majeure, the television station had the right to adjust the broadcast schedule and postpone the airing by 1-2 months.
There was nothing that could be done about this. After all, China had a mythical creature called the Harmonious Unity God beast. Once it unleashed its power, even Boss Huang had to comply.
In fact, under normal circumstances, this rule didn't have a 1-2 month limit; it allowed for indefinite postponement of broadcast slots. This was the privilege of top satellite TV stations, and TV production companies could only accept it.
However, Huang He’s influence was so great that this was modified to a postponement of 1-2 months, otherwise, Tangren Pictures could retract the contract.
So, with Hunan Satellite TV using this clause as a shield, Huang He was truly helpless, unless he was willing to pay Hunan Satellite TV three times the penalty for breach of contract.
Of course, money wasn't the issue; it was the sheer disgusting nature of the situation. Thus, our Boss Huang could only end up feeling extremely frustrated and having to swallow his pride.
