"Ipaayos mo ang bagong opisina ni Amor, Lemuel.  Gusto kong bago ang lahat ng mga gamit niya dun." utos ni Dixal sa kaibigang sumaludo agad nang marinig ang utos dito.  

"Basa ko utak mo Dixal, kaya inunahan na kita,  pinapaayos ko na kay Derek." sagot nitong may halong pagmamayabang ang sinabi. 

"Madam, pano yan, bago na naman ang trabaho mo." baling nito kay Flora Amor na kinakalikot ang kanyang phone upang tumawag sa anak.  

"Okay lang yun, sanay naman na akong basta na lang itinatapon sa kung saan-saan." pabiro niyang sagot sabay pairap na sumulyap kay Dixal sa kanyang tabi habang nakaupo sila sa sofa at si Lemuel naman ay sa tapat na single sofa nakaupo.  

Inakbayan siya ng asawa at ginulo ang buhok.  
"Ngayon Ka pa aangal eh finance director Ka na." pabiro ding sagot nito. 

Eksakto namang nakontak na niya ang anak sa phone nito.  

"Amor, bakit si Daddy hindi sumasagot sa tawag ko? At bakit hindi Ka umuwi kagabi, si Mama na lang tuloy katabi ko kagabi." Dire-diretso ang bibig ng anak na tila matandang nanenermon sa nakababata sa kanya. 

Natameme siya bigla at napasulyap sa asawa sabay kurot sa tagiliran nito na nagtaka sa ginawa niya.  

"Ouch! Why?" angal nito. 

"Yung cp mo, di ka raw sumasagot kay Devon, napagalitan tuloy ako." bulong niya dito pagkatapos ilayo sa bibig ang phone.  

"Oh! Nakalimutan kong dalhin. Akina, ako kakausap." anitong pigil ang tawa ngunit bago kinuha ang phone ay bumaling muna sa kaibigan.  

"Lemuel---" 
Biglang tumayo ang tinawag.  

"Alam ko na kasunod niyan, utos na naman yan. Aalis na ako, busy ako ngayong araw Dixal." inunahan na nito ang amo at nagmamadaling naglakad papunta sa pinto.  

Ngunit napahinto rin nang magsalita ang lalaki. 

"Thanks for everything, buddy. You're more than a friend to me." 

Napanganga itong lumingon kay Dixal. Sandaling tinitigan ang huli at alanganing tumawa.  Iyon ang unang beses na narinig nito si Dixal na nagpapasalamat sa mga nagawa ng una para dito. 

"Ano yan bro, nagiging sentimental ka ata ngayon?" sa kawalan ng sasabihin ay puna na lang ni Lemuel.

Isang ngiti lang ang pinakawalan nito saka bumaling na sa asawang iniaabot pa rin ang phone. 

Ang tamis ng ngiting sumilay sa mga labi ni Lemuel. Ang akala nito, mananatiling malamig si Dixal sa tao habambuhay. Mula nang mawala si Flora Amor sa buhay nito, naging parang tuod na ang lalaki, walang pakiramdam at walang pakialam sa nararamdaman ng iba, naging aloof ito at ayaw makipag-usap kahit sa pamilya, tanging sa kaibigan lang ngunit pagalit pa, kundi man ay parang yelo ang boses kung magsalita. Pero ngayon, natuto na uli itong ngumiti at makipagbiruan. 

Sana nga, hindi na magkahiwalay ang dalawa, naisip nito at lumabas na ng opisinang di natatanggal ang matamis na ngiting nasa mga labi. 

"Dixal, bakit po hindi mo sinasagot ang tawag ko? Nagtatampo tuloy ako. Si Amor din po, hindi umuwi kagabi, si Mama na lang katabi ko kagabi." sita ng bata sa ama na may halong sumbong. 

"Sorry kiddo. Nag-celebrate kami ni Mommy mo ng Monthsary kagabi. It was my fault kiddo." paliwanag ni Dixal sa bata sabay kabig sa asawang nakikinig sa usapan ng dalawa habang naka loud speaker ang phone. 

"Pano po magcelebrate ng monthsary?" usisa ng anak. 
Ang ama naman ang sandaling natahimik at tumingin sa kanyang pigil ang mapahagikhik.  

"Ahhmm, kumain kami ng paborito ni Mommy tapos uminom kami ng wine kaya nalasing si Mommy at nakatulog kaya di na siya nakapagpaalam kagabi."

"Daddy, sasama ako bukas kay Amor pagpunta jan ha? I missed you na po kasi." lambing ng anak.  

"Ako ang pupunta jan, anak. Sasama ako kay Amor pauwi jan. Anong gusto mong pasalubong ni Daddy?" 

"Shrimps po. Tsaka ibili MO akong engineering books." 

"Engineering books? Bata, andami mo nang books ah."  di mapigilang sabad ng ina habang nakikinig sa usapan ng dalawa.  

"Amor, I'm already done reading them all." 

"Okay kiddo engineering books, request granted." pagpayag ng ama.  

"Dixal, andami nang Books sa kwarto ko. Magpapagawa na nga ako ng malaking book shelves sa bahay para lang sa kanya nang di nakakalat mga libro niya sa sala." angal niya sa asawa. 

"Sssssh, it's okay sweetie. Your son is a genius one. It's just natural na maging mahilig siya sa books pero madaling magsawa sa isang libro." sagot nito saka siya hinalikan 
sa noo. 

"Hayaan mo akong bumawi sa anak ko Amor." 

Napabuntunghininga na lang siya at niyakap ito.  

"Okay, basta ayuko nang ini-spoil ang anak ko, ha? " anya. 

"Daddy, bye na po. Tinatawag na ako ni Mama. Sasabihin ko kay mama magluto ng masasarap na pagkain kasi uuwi kayo ni Amor dito." anito't pinatay na agad ang tawag.  

"Kulit ng batang yun noh?" anya kay Dixal. 

Hinagod nito ang kanyang likod habang nakayakap siya rito. 

"Amor, sama na kayo sakin sa bahay natin. Ayuko nang mawalay pa sa inyo." sumeryoso ang boses nito. 

"Pag natapos na ang problema mo, lilipat na kami sayo. Promise ko yun kay Devon." sagot niya.

Biglang lumagkit ang mga titig ng asawa sa kanya kasabay ng isang bulong. 

"Amor, sundan na kaya natin si Devon." anito. 
Namula agad ang kanyang pisngi at biglang kinurot ang tagiliran nito.  

"Katatapos mo lang kagabi ah, hihirit ka na naman?" reklamo niya. 
Isang malakas na tawa ang pinakawalan nito, hindi pinansin ang sakit ng kanyang kurot. 

"Iba yung kagabi, iba syempre ang ngayon." 

"Tse!" tinayuan niya agad ito ngunit maagap ang asawa't hinawakan ang kanyang kamay saka hinila siya paupo uli sa sofa.

"Amor, kahit isa lang bago tayo umuwi sa inyo mamaya." pakiusap nito.  
Pairap siyang sumulyap rito ngunit sa puso ay  ramdam niya ang kilig na hatid ng sinabi ng asawa. 

"Oo na. Papagtrabahuin mo muna ako ngayon at baka kung anu-ano na naman ang ireklamo ng mga shareholders mo sakin pag tatamad tamad ako sa trabaho." anya sa lalaki saka ito mabilis na hinalikan sa mga labi. 

Sa puso't isipan ay panay ang kanyang dasal na sana matapos na ang lahat ng problema nito nang magkasama na sila sa iisang bubong.


Hindi na siya nagpahatid kay Dixal papunta sa finance department. Pinatawagan na lang niya uli si Lemuel para ito ang makasama niya pagpunta dun. Wala pang limang minuto sinusundo na siya ng lalaki mula sa opisina ni Dixal para ihatid sa bago niyang opisina. 

Sa labas pa lang ng department, nag-uumpukan na ang mga empleyado, halatang nagtsitsismisan na naman ang mga to, nagsipasukan lang na parang mga high school students nang makita sila ni Lemuel na papalapit. 

"I'm sure, you already knew Miss Salvador. Siya ang papalit kay Miss Villaberde bilang bago niyong Finance Director. Just treat her well, kung hindi, malalagot kayo kay Big Boss." pagpapakilala uli ni Lemuel sa kanya na diniinan pa ang huling sinabi. 

Inutusan muna nitong bumalik sa kani-kanilang cubicle ang mga empleyado at ituloy ang trabaho bago siya hinarap at iginiya sa bagong niyang opisina, ang dating opisina ni Veron. 

Pagkapasok pa lang sa loob, napansin agad niya ang mga bagong kagamitang naruon, mula sa kanyang mesa, printer, shredder, pati tatlong sofa sa dating kinalalagyan,  bago na rin. Kahit yung air-con pinalitan din. 

"Okay na ba to, madam?" tanong ni Lemuel. 

Agad siyang tumango. 
"Salamat Lemuel." wika niya. 
Pagkatapos magpaalam sa kanya'y umalis na din ito.

Naiwan siyang patuloy na sinusuyod ng tingin ang bawat sulok ng opisina. Kahit paano'y nakaramdam din naman siya ng awa para kay Veron, sa nangyari dito. Pero ang buong kompanya naman ang mapapahamak  kung di nila napigilan ang mag-ama sa ginagawa ng mga to. 

Ang tangi na lang niyang magagawa ngayon ay ayusin ang buong finance department at ireport lahat ng financial statements sa kanya. 
Kaya lumabas siya ng opisina at tatawagin sana si Derek nang mapansin niya ang mga empleyadong nagtsitsismisan na naman sa iisang cubicle at lahat ay nakatalikod sa kanya.  

"Ang dinig ko kaya daw yan malapit sa taas kasi girlfriend daw yan ni Sir Dix." narinig niyang wika ng isang babae. 

"Anong girlfriend eh nakita nga ni Trixie si big boss hawak-hawak ang kamay ni Ma'am Flor kanina paglabas daw ng conference room kaya lahat daw nagpasukan sa kani-kanilang department nang makita daw nila yun, natakot daw lahat lumabas dahil baka pag kumalat na magkahawak-kamay sila eh baka ipatawag ang sinumang nakakita at patalsikin sa trabaho." mahabang paliwanag ng isang bakla. 

Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit sa mga ito at nakinig sa tsismisan habang nakahalukipkip. 

"I smell something fishy here. Baka si Ma'am Flor ang nakita nung nakaraang araw na kaakbay ni Chairman papuntang elevator." 
sabad ng isa pa.  

"Ma'am--" tawag ni Derek sa kanya nang makita siya nitong nakikinig sa tsismisan ng kanyang mga tauhan ngunit napahinto rin nang titigan niya ito.  

Tanging ito lang at ang isa pang lalaki ang wala sa nag-uumpukang mga empleyado.  

"Baka nga magkatotoo ang hula kong di matuloy ang kasal sa makalawa. Naku, kawawa si ma'am Shelda pag nagkaganun." anang isa pa. 

"Gurl, di niyo ba pansin, biglang tumaas sa posisyon ang bagong Finance Director. Malamang isa talaga sa dalawang kambal ang jowa ni Ma'am." sabi ng bakla.  

"O baka naman isa sa kanila ang asawa ni Ma'am." saka na siya sumabad na ikinagulat ng lahat na tila nakakita ng multo pagkakita sa kanya at biglang nagpuntahan sa kani-kanilang cubicle. 

"Everyone! Come back here!"  Utos niya sa mga to na nang magsibalikan palapit sa kanya ay tila na mga maaamong tutang nagpakayuko.  

"Why are you gossiping during office hours?" simula niya sa paninita. 
Walang sumagot sa mga ito.  

"Hindi niyo ba alam na bawal ang ginagawa niyo sa oras mismo ng trabaho? After ng work  niyo sasali pa ako sa inyo makipagtsismisan if that's what you want." patuloy niya.  

"Ginagawa niyo ba to sa dating Finance Director?" 

Tila mga estudyante ang mga tong pinapagalitan ng teacher na walang makasagot kahit isa.  

"Palalampasin ko ang araw na to pero pag nakita ko pa kayong nagtsitsismisan na naman  sa oras ng trabaho, isa-isa ko kayong bibgyan ng IR. Suspension ang sunod nun." warning niya sa lahat.  

Nagpakayuko pa ring tumango ang mga to. 

"Sana naman naiintindihan niyo ako." 

"Yes po ma'am." sa wakas ay naglakas ng loob ang isang bakla at sumagot.  

"Good. Pwede na kayong bumalik sa trabaho." utos niya sa lahat. 
Nagsunuran naman ang mga to. 

Naisip niya, mahihirapan seguro siyang mag-adjust sa ugali ng mga tauhan niya. Kaya nag-isip siya ng paraan kung paano mapapaamo ang lahat habang nakaharap na siya sa kanyang computer. 

Sa wakas naisip niyang bilhan ng meryenda ang lahat, baka sakali umubra yun upang mapalapit ang loob niya sa mga empleyado.

WARNING: This novel contains some matured and erotic scenes not suitable for teen readers. 


Isang college student na walang muwang sa tooong mundo, kuntento sa kung anong merun siya at hindi naghahanap ng mga bagay na wala siya. Iyon si Flora Amor Salvador bago makita si Dixal Amorillo, ang nagpakilalang engineer at naging boyfriend pagkatapos siyang mahalikan. 

Subalit biglang gumulo ang tahimik niyang mundo at dahil sa psychological trauma na naranasan ay nagkaron siya ng amnesia. 

After seven years ay di niya alam kung paano paniniwalaan ang isang Dixal Amorillo na nagpakilalang asawa niya at pilit siyang pinapaikot sa mga palad nito dahilan upang mainis siya sa lalaki. 

Subalit paano kung totoo ngang ito ang kanyang asawa at ama ng kanyang genius na si Devon? Paano kung ito pala ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit siya nagkaruon ng amnesia, magagawa pa ba niya itong tanggapin, kung kelan malapit na itong ikasal sa pangalawang asawa?

Ye Futian kept silent while watching all this happen, but deep inside, he was not as calm as he looked.
It took so much effort to meet his fairy again, and she had to leave soon after this reunion. It was understandable that he felt sad.
"You don't like this feeling, do you?" Hua Fengliu perceived his gloom and asked him.
Ye Futian nodded. "Why shouldn't I be sad?"
"Then just keep training and grow stronger." Hua Fengliu closed his eyes. He was also pissed off because Nandou Ku had told him that his life was hopeless. He could do nothing but put all his hope in Ye Futian.
Although, he wasn't desperate, because he knew how talented Ye Futian was. With the inheritance from Emperor Ye Qing, as long as he kept cultivating, people in the City of Donghai and the Nandou family would eventually bow down to his power.
Therefore, he was trying to get Ye Futian accepted into Donghai Academy, and it would be even better if one of the higher-ups of the academy picked him as a disciple personally. He needed a safe and promising environment for him to grow in.
Ye Futian didn't respond to Hua Fengliu, but he felt hot-blooded. He needed to be strong enough to protect his professor and girlfriend.
…
The only time Ye Futian went out was to buy inscribing pens and scrolls. Both scroll inscribing and guqin practice served as cultivation for him. They enhanced his mental power and ability in Spiritual Qi perception, which was critical for the development of a mage. As for martial arts techniques, he kept improving on the treasures Emperor Ye Qing had given him. With enough time, his body would be as invincible as the Divine Dragon and the Snow Ape.
One day, Tang Wan came to their place.
"I have good news for you guys," Tang Wan smiled.
"What is it?" Ye Futian was curious.
"Someone from the School of the Finance Star told me that you have been admitted," Tang Wan said.
Ye Futian was confused and didn't believe it.
"I guess some supervisor in that school heard about the fight. I think he must have heard about it from a student. Otherwise, they would have been looking for you guys even sooner," Tang Wan elaborated. The talents Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had demonstrated during that fight were obviously more than enough for them to be admitted. Unfortunately, there was no professor or supervisor in the audience.
"Wow, we just benefited from kicking someone's *ss," Yu Sheng mumbled. Ye Futian was also smiling. He was so happy that once he was admitted into Donghai Academy, it would be much easier to spend time with Hua Jieyu.
"What are you talking about?" Hua Fengliu was doubtful about this admission. "It is uncommon for a school in Donghai Academy to make an exception for applicants. What did they do?"
"Mr. Hua, you don't know what happened? The first time I brought them to Donghai Academy, they messed with some students from the School of the Flirting Star, because one of them, Mu Yunni, was being rude. These boys totally kicked their *sses. This is how your daughter knew Ye Futian was here and asked me to bring her to you," Tang Wan explained. Hua Fengliu finally understood what had happened. The last time Hua Jieyu had come here, they were in such a rush that he didn't have time to ask for the details.
Hua Fengliu gave Ye Futian a glance. He was a little bit mad that this boy had not told him about the fight.
"Just go. Remember to take care of yourself," Hua Fengliu said.
"Alright, Professor, enjoy your private time with Ms. Tang after we are gone," Ye Futian teased him.
"Screw you." Hua Fengliu was embarrassed.
"Bye, Professor." Ye Futian was still somewhat worried about Hua Fengliu. He was too injured to live alone.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him." Tang Lan came in at this time. She knew that Ye Futian was worried, so she was trying to comfort him.
"Thank you so much," Ye Futian said. Now he was settled.
The Black Wind Eagle arrived and landed next to them. Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Tang Wan got on her back, then she soon took off into the air. Ye Futian waved to Hua Fengliu, apparently reluctant to leave.
"Good luck, boy. Your new journey has just begun." Hua Fengliu was smiling.
"Looks like he's almost like a son to you. Why do you believe in him so much?" Tang Lan was curious.
"Trust me, someday Donghai Academy will be proud of having such a student." Hua Fengliu was confident. Tang Lan was surprised and a bit confused. She believed that the confidence Hua Fengliu held for Ye Futian was much stronger than she could have imagined.
　　...
Within each of the seven schools at Donghai Academy, there were students of various classes for the purpose of diversity. However, there were also specific characteristics for each of them. It was all about the people who were supporting the schools.
Students from the School of the Finance Star were known for great martial arts techniques. This was why the supervisor of this school had made an exception to admit Ye Futian and Yu Sheng without a test.
According to those who had witnessed the fight, both of them were incredibly talented at martial arts, especially Yu Sheng.
The admission of Ye Futian and Yu Sheng didn't quite cause a sensation at Donghai Academy, because only a few students had witnessed the fight, not to mention that most students just knew their names, but had never seen them. Besides, it had been a while since the fight took place.
Tang Wan led them to the School of the Finance Star. They were well accommodated and brought around to tour the school. However, the supervisor who accepted them had not arranged a meeting with the boys. It was possible that he still wanted to give them some time to prove themselves first.
Students in the School of the Finance Star lived in a separate area that consisted of dorms specifically assigned to them. In fact, the environment seemed to be better than that of Qingzhou Academy.
"Who are you?" Someone passing by was curious about these new students. They had never met Ye Futian and Yu Sheng before.
"I'm Ye Futian, and this is my best friend, Yu Sheng." Ye Futian was smiling.
"Ye Futian. This name sounds familiar," the boy mumbled, and soon he remembered who they were. He quickly disappeared, and word started to spread in the School of the Finance Star that the students who kicked the *sses of the students from the School of the Flirting Star had been admitted to this school.
The word spread so quickly that suddenly, a lot of people were gathered around them.
"Is this guy Ye Futian? Really, a Two-Star Glory Plane student?"
"Yu Sheng looks exactly how people said. He's such a big guy. Is he merely a martial arts cultivator, or he is actually hiding some powerful natal spirit?"
"Wow, they're so cute," some girls were also gossiping.
The students were curious about everything since they were so young.
"Is there a library at this school?" Ye Futian asked Tang Wan.
Tang Wan shook her head, "There is only one library at Donghai Academy, and it's located right in the center of the campus. The entry is free to every student, but no checkouts are allowed. You may only browse the books and scrolls inside."
Ye Futian understood why checkout was prohibited. There were just so many students at this academy that books might be lost once checked out.
"Let's go there," Ye Futian said. He had already reached the Two-star Glory Plane, but the spells he could initiate were still mostly basic. It was a huge waste of his talents. He believed that he was not supposed to give up sorcery cultivation even though his martial arts inheritance from Emperor Ye Qing was so powerful. A combination of both would definitely make him stronger.
"Sure," Tang Wan nodded. She was surprised that he was not just a pretty boy like he looked and was in fact, quite diligent. The first place he had wanted to go to was the library.
The scale of the library at Donghai Academy was much larger than that of the one at Qingzhou Academy. Besides, there was no limit for the students. Any student at this academy would be allowed to browse all the collections in this library. Donghai Academy was very generous about this.
When Ye Futian entered the library, he was shocked by the comprehensiveness of the collection. There were books on general subjects like martial arts techniques, swords techniques, elemental spells, and even some very rare books on mental spells.
He even found books about music spells, matrices, and scroll inscription. He totally understood why Hua Fengliu had insisted he study at this academy.
During the following several days Ye Futian spent all his time making his way through the entire collection.
Meanwhile, the news that Ye Futian had been admitted to the School of the Finance Star finally spread all around the academy, including the School of the Flirting Star. They started looking for him everywhere and finally, they found him in the library.
Ye Futian was reading books quietly when a group of angry people came up to him. Mu Yunqing spoke to him in rage, "Long time no see, Ye Futian."
"What's up?" Ye Futian didn't even raise his head.
"Since you're now admitted into this academy, I guess it's time for us to get even about what happened last time." Mu Yunqing sounded really mad.
"Are you challenging me?" Ye Futian looked at him with contempt.
However, Mu Yunqing was not planning to fight by himself: "Someone from the School of the Flirting Star will represent me."
"Who is it, and what plane is he in?" Ye Futian asked. Mu Yunqing realized that other people were looking at him and he faltered.
"Are you still going to fight me together like you did last time?" Ye Futian was laughing. He was now a student at this academy, so people who fought him had to abide by the rules, which was one on one.
Mu Yunqing was extremely embarrassed. He didn't say anything, and the group left crestfallen again.
This incident soon spread around the academy. Students started to make fun of Mu Yunqing. They now considered him to be a total coward.
Several days later, it was announced that Jing Yang, a student from the School of the Flirting Star, had openly issued a letter of challenge to Ye Futian. It caused a sensation at the academy.
He was a Three-star Glory Plane Mandate Sorcerer, a true prodigy. He had been personally admitted directly by the supervisor of the School of the Flirting Star as a disciple. Usually, he didn't care about "friendly competition," but now to save the reputation of his school, he challenged Ye Futian publicly.
However, the response from Ye Futian left people totally speechless. "Sorry, I have no time for this."
This was such a lame excuse to turn down the challenge. Students in the School of the Flirting Star accused him of being a real coward.
Jing Yang, however, was not surprised. He told people that Ye Futian was "just so-so."
Ye Futian wasn't disturbed by these comments at all. He still spent all his time on reading and cultivating, as usual.


In a time when the Divine Prefectures of the East Sea were in great disarray, Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great appeared to save the day. Under their rule, the prefectures united and all nations as well as  their kings have been controlled. However, the legend of these two great heroes becomes altered when Emperor Ye Qing's name is wiped from the history books after his sudden death. All statues and images of him were destroyed and his name a taboo. Only the legend of Donghuang the Great shall live on.                            

Fifteen years later, a young man by the name of Ye Futian begins his journey in search for his true identity. The legend of Futian was going to be one for the history books.

I never knew that people actually can choke.

Like I have never seen a person choke. Only reading in books have I felt that choking must be really funny. Let's start.

It's Monday and i am skipping school. Don't want to go to that chemistry class and get questioned at the end of it. Mom and Dad are out of town and I am in my bed listening to the Scholar's Advanced Technological System using TTS.

THese lines...these freaking lines had to come when i was having really spick snacks. After finishing one of the extra hot chips. i went for the water, drank a few mouthfull but then these lines came.
I felt laughter comming from below and water coming from above. It was like fighting going on in my neck. I coughed up and spat the water out and to add violently. I walked around for a while untill the cough finally stopped.

Now i have to label the 'comedy' tagged novels to read when not eating or drinking.
Chap 259

At night, Lu Zhou organized the interview schedule for tomorrow. As he looked at his sister who was laying on the couch, he asked, "Did you think about what major you want to apply to?"

Xiao Tong put down her phone and seriously thought about his questions before she answered.

"I know!"

Lu Zhou, "Yeah?"

Xiao Tong nodded and said firmly, "I'm going to major in finance!"

Finance was part of the liberal arts department at the University of Jin Ling. Although it needed a certain mathematical foundation, as long as one did not go into financial research, it would not require too much mathematics.

The most valuable thing was that Xiao Tong made up her own mind without help from her brother.

Lu Zhou was proud of her.

Lu Zhou nodded with approval and said, "It's good to have a direction. Can you explain what finance is?"

Xiao Tong's eyes lit up and she said, "Finance sounds like it has to do with money!"

Lu Zhou: "…"

What are you talking about…

Did you do any research at all?

Finance obviously has something to do with money!

Lu Zhou said, "Actually alchemy is a good major as well. It has to do with gold."

Xiao Tong was confused and she asked, "Really?"

Lu Zhou said, "Kidding."

Xiao Tong: "…"

…

Cheng Nuo said the last sentence slowly with his hands behind his back. "That is all I have to say, you can choose to believe it or not."
Cheng Nuo had no choice but to make this claim in order for Guan Cheng to believe him.
"You…"
Guan Cheng's mouth opened so wide that he could swallow an entire fist.
To be honest, Cheng Nuo's claim had scared Guan Cheng. One could never be too careful.
What if… Cheng Nuo's claim was real?
"You… you are not lying?" Guan Cheng swallowed his saliva.
"No." Cheng Nuo was not lying and hence said with confidence, "Let me ask you: how long has it been since your mother has gone for a health checkup?"
"About… six months."
"That is terrible. You should bring your mother for a full body checkup. You will be able to tell after the result is out."
"All… right. I will bring her to the hospital later."
It was true that it had been a while since his mother had a full body checkup. He would head to the hospital today. Even if she was completely fine, there was no loss. However, if she really had cancer… Then Cheng Nuo was really a descendant of an ancient family with a medicinal background.
"Mom, let's go and have lunch first. Then I will bring you to the hospital for a checkup."
"Why are we going to the hospital? I am not ill, I am very healthy."
"Mom, who says that you can't go to the hospital if you are not ill? This is for prevention. Moreover, it has been six months since your last checkup."
"Alright, I shall do what my son says."
…
Saving one's life brought Cheng Nuo much luck. Cheng Nuo's luck finally improved and a businessman in a suit bought all the remaining plush toys. That helped Cheng Nuo save a lot of time.
"One gets repaid for his good intentions!" said Cheng Nuo after he put the 1,250 Yuan into his wallet.
With a starting investment of 50 Yuan, he had made 25 times that amount.
"Hmph! I can be considered someone who has 1,000 Yuan."
How did the saying go?
"I, an 18-year-old young man, managed to make 1,250 Yuan in one day. Adding the pocket money from my mom, I have 1,500 Yuan. For these past few years, I have been living a rather difficult life. Now that I have become this rich, I have no idea how to spend my money. I can finally splurge. In the past, I had to bring a bottle of water to go to the internet cafe. Now I can order their iced tea. In fact, I can buy two bottles. When I eat cup noodles, I can afford to add two sausages. I feel extremely unused to this lifestyle, but what can I do?"
After appreciating his life and thinking about his future, Cheng Nuo reminded himself to not be pompous because of his current wealth. Cheng Nuo flagged down a taxi and went to the biggest bookstore in Qing Cheng.
Cheng Nuo had planned to head to the bookstore yesterday, but… You know the reason, Cheng Nuo's money was gone because of one meal.
Today, Cheng Nuo had made a comeback with 1,000 Yuan.
Buy, buy, buy!
Cheng Nuo bought three types of books: computing, finance, and difficult math questions. For example, Goldbach's conjecture and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
He bought over 20 books, which weighed 24.57 kilograms, had 13,247 pages and 18,574,243 words in total. They cost him 687 Yuan total.
Thankfully, it was within Cheng Nuo's budget.
Programming and finance were the two subjects that Cheng Nuo was more interested in. Also, his special power was very useful in these two fields. Cheng Nuo was planning to take one of these two subjects as his major in university. 
As for the books with difficult math questions, Cheng Nuo had noble aspirations!
He wanted to solve the world's difficult math questions! Yes, he wanted to solve them!
Cheng Nuo had immense confidence in math. No matter how difficult the questions were, they were still math.
One would receive a huge reward if one managed to solve the math questions. The rewards ranged from $10,000 to $100,000 USD, with the latter being the reward for solving the famous questions like "Goldbach's conjecture", especially the proof for the final step of "1+1"! 
"I, Cheng Nuo, definitely want the money!"
Cheng Nuo was extremely ambitious!
As for what happened after that… Hehe, Cheng Nuo reminded himself of his goals every time he recalled this moment.
…
For the next week, Cheng Nuo focused on studying for english, chinese language, and biology in school. When he went back home, he began to read the 20 over books he had purchased.
Although Cheng Nuo was good at data, that did not mean he was good at understanding problems. Cheng Nuo had no experience or knowledge in finance and programming. He had to figure out the keywords by himself, and it was extremely complicated. Cheng Nuo felt that he could not cope with them.
He had to finish reading the books he bought even if he cried!
Cheng Nuo was not sure what would happen in the future. However, there was nothing wrong with improving continuously.
…
On Friday, at the basketball court of the Second High School of Qing Cheng…
The deafening cheers broke the silence of the peaceful school.
Cheng Nuo easily made a goal that determined the outcome of the match.
Class 18 made it to the finals!
"Cheng Nuo, you have to work hard for finals!" A female student who Cheng Nuo had never met before passed him a bottle of water and ran away shyly.
Cheng Nuo was stunned when he looked at the water that was still warm from the girl's body temperature.
"Hahaha." When Lin Hu saw that, he came and patted Cheng Nuo's shoulder and said while giving him a look, "See, Cheng Nuo, I told you, you will be liked by many girls if you are willing to play for us. Do you know who the girl who passed you water is? Sun Yue, she's the prettiest girl of class six. So, are you interested in dating?"
Cheng Nuo opened the lid of the bottle and gulped down the water. He wiped his mouth and said, "Forget it, she's not my type."
Cheng Nuo gradually became a legendary character in his school. The reason was because of his legendary shooting skills.
No matter where he threw the ball from, he would score. Of course, Cheng Nuo had missed intentionally in the first match. That was his only miss!
From the preliminary rounds to finals, class 18 had four matches. Cheng Nuo made 105 shots and scored 104 times. That included 48 three-pointers, 53 two-pointers, and three penalty shots.
Cheng Nuo's "godlike" performance on the court and his handsome look attracted many girls.
After a few matches, there were many girls who came forward to cheer him up and show affection.


Can Mathematics and textbook knowledge really save you from all the hassles in life? Cheng Nuo proves this statement positive and transforms from a mediocre high school student to one who succeeds with flying colours in every aspect of his life.
One day, when he wakes up, Cheng Nuo finds out, to his surprise, that the entire world has changed. Everything he sees is translated into numbers and figures. Cheng Nuo looks at a cue ball and sees: Diameter: 57.15 cm; Weight: 170g; Length of cue stick: 145cm; Force required to pot Ball 3: 2.14 Newtons; Angle required: 68.54 degrees… Yes, apart from the basic details of an object, Cheng Nuo is able to compute other related statistics in his mind with the given details at lightning speed. Initially, Cheng Nuo is baffled by this sudden gain of superpower, but later realizes the immense benefits it brings to his life.
 
You can call Cheng Nuo a genius, the King of Data or a human supercomputer. With his incredible data analysis skills, he has never failed to score a shot in basketball, soccer and billiards. He even manages to save himself from a fatal car accident, all thanks to his superpower in data processing and mental calculation. “Every question in this world can be solved mathematically. If not, use your knowledge in Physics and Chemistry!” This is Cheng Nuo, the genius student’s life philosophy.

 Huh? It’s him!
 Prof. Martin looked in the direction of the voice. The boy was quite different from the one in the photos. Students in Columbia University like to boost themselves up. It's not a good idea to dress like an ordinary person here. 
 If Qin Guan could read Martin's mind, he would have protested loudly. He was there to study, not cause drama. All the students there seemed busy and calm. He didn't want to attract attention either.
 Prof. Martin got a grip on himself and began his opening lecture. "If you are strolling on the shady path along the Hudson River, you will notice two American presidents accompanying you, as well as 97 Nobel winners."
 "It’s a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? As your tutor though, it’s my job to bring you back to reality!"
 "Wake up, boys and girls! If that was true, you would definitely be seeing ghosts! I’d admire anyone who would dare stand by the river calmly."
 "Stop that rubbish right now! You are in the school of finance. Do you want to dream in your spare time? No problem. But there will only be two possible scenarios. One, you give up and fail the exams. The second scenario applies only to the geniuses among you. The homework I will give you will be a piece of cake for them."
 "The first scenario can come true at any time, but the second one will only be a dream in my class. Today, I’ll show you the advantages of studying finance at Columbia."
 As flowers bloomed and cicadas sang by the window, Prof. Martin began his lecture. As a straight-A student, Qin Guan was fascinated by the class.
 He only came back to his senses when the bell rang. He was about to rush out with his books, when he suddenly realized no one had left their seats.
 "Okay, that’s it for today. Your homework includes the core views of the three finance systems of Columbia..."
 What? Homework? Are you kidding? 
 Qin Guan, who had had no homework for many years, was shocked. He had written several theses, but he’d had no homework in college.
 All the freshmen were taking notes earnestly.
 "Send them to my email by tomorrow. Dismissed!"
 Looking at the thick books in his hands, Qin Guan nearly spit out blood. This is so much work! I have to do it by tomorrow?
 This reminded Qin Guan of the lovely days during 12th grade, before he had taken the College Entrance Examination.
 Xu Xiaoxiao, the only other Asian student in class, kindly explained to Qin Guan, "Freshmen always struggle in the beginning. There is a proverb that says that ‘studying is a drug’. You can’t live without drugs. The homework today was fine. I have gone through more miserable phases in my life."
 Kuhn raised his eyebrows. Xu Xiaoxiao, the boy who is as dumb as an oyster, speaks on his own initiative? Without me, he would have cried eight times a day on campus.
 Qin Guan smiled at the honest boy. "Got it! Thanks! I’m Qin Guan. I’m from China."
 He stretched his fair, slender hand towards Xu, who looked stunned as he took it. "Xu Xiaoxiao, I’m Chinese American. I live in Manhattan."
 "Are you ready, Xu Xiaoxiao? I’m going to Roche Square. Are you coming with me?" Kuhn was impatient to leave.
 "Oh, I’m coming!" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Guan in disappointment and hastened to catch up with Kuhn.
 Qin Guan glanced at his watch. He had elective classes in the afternoon. Time was pressing. He had to have a quick lunch in the meantime.
The classroom was empty. After classes had started, the relaxed atmosphere had disappeared from campus. There were hurried students everywhere. The university was of a practical style. Everything they did was career-oriented.
 Sitting in the corridor, Qin Guan was looking in the distance like a sculpture. Cong Nianwei walked up to him in a rush with her textbooks in her arms. His heart warmed up immediately.
 "What did you think of the courses?"
 "There are differences from the theories we learned in China..."
 They discussed their courses on the bus. They were so concentrated that they missed their stop.
 "We are close to Chinatown. We can have lunch there and take a bus back."
 "Good idea. We haven't been there. We can get off at Broadway Street."
 Walking hand in hand, they looked at the Chinese-style streets. It was like another city within Manhattan. It felt like they had gone back to a familiar place through a magic door.
 Pointing to the carved beams and the painted rafters with the red lanterns, Qin Guan suggested that they have lunch there.
 "Okay!" The two of them entered the Chinese restaurant.
 The bead curtains divided the two worlds. Qin Guan found a hidden, but beautiful spot inside. The owner must be rich, but he lacks knowledge on the Chinese culture.
 He had combined too many Chinese elements together. What a mess! In the eyes of American people though, this was what China was really like.
 In the center of the restaurant there was a stage for Peking opera, just like the stages in Brazilian and Russian restaurants.
 It was like a traditional house restaurant in China, or the little theater of Deyun Crosstalk Association. Everything was bright and gorgeous.
 Qin Guan ordered the boiled dumplings. They couldn't stand the so-called Chinese dishes they saw on other tables.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Blinking to where the the accessories and jewelries where Alex was again amaze when he sees so many precious items , reflecting the lights through their crystal like structure, rings, necklace, and bracelets, shined with bright light. This was no ordinary accessories and jewelries but a magical one that contains special effects if you wear them.

"Sistine wrap all of it." Alex said while looking at the items at the magical items
"Okay dear," Sistine said and quickly get all of the items and put it in the storage

One by one the items started disappearing after a couple of second that room dimmed down because all of the item that was shining were now in his storage.

"It's done dear,." Sistine said after all the items were all gone
"Let's go now their almost here." Alex said while looking at the direction where the other people was with his God' Eyes
"Mhn." Sistine agreed
"Maybe I should left something here?." Alex asked, he wants to leave something that tell he was there
"Why dear? wouldn't they find some lead to us?." Sistine asked, she was a bit confused
"No it wont, I just want to at least in still fear in their minds that I was here and I am coming for then, because this is a revenge." Alex said and open a space in air that connects outside
"I see, I will leave it you dear." Sistine said

Alex entered the space that connects outside while before leaving a card behind.

"There, quick." The immortal said when he sees a space was closing in the air
"Shit, we are too late." The other immortal said, before they arrive here they still check all the other place, if they have just came here right from the start they would have get him
"Power of space huh?." The immortal said while looking at where the opening of space was before
"Look, a card." The other immortal said when he sees a card in the ground, and quickly picked it up
"The Reaper's Vengeance."
"Reaper?" The immortal asked when he hears the other immortal read the card
"Is this a name of a group or something?." The other immortal asked
"It should be, is there a symbol or something in the card?." The immortal asked
"It looks like a ghost? with a massive scythe on his hand while there are tiny people? running away from it." The other immortal said
"...Let's stop discussing this, we should quickly report to the master, and that card is only our lead for now, because it seems the master really offended someone since this card means that he is coming for revenge." The immortal said
"Yeah...Sigh* we really have taken a bit of damage huh?." The other immortal said when he thinks all of the treasure in their treasure vault got all cleaned up without even leaving a single dust
_________________________________________________________________________________
It was already 5:00 PM it was already a couple of hours since Alex left his house, he was now at above the clouds, this is where the space was connected when he passed through.

"What the fuck I don't know what I was thinking putting a corny name like that." Alex shouted, he was embarrassed to the name he wrote at the card
"You have completed a mission dear." Sistine said suddenly when Alex was still embarrassed with his self
"Oh that one huh? killing an immortal/preparation right?." Alex said calmed down, he remembered that he had a mission
"Yes dear." Sistine said
"Okay, let me see." Alex said
"Mhn," Sistine showed Alex the interface for the interface mission

Mission: Kill a Immortal/preparation- Completed
Rewards:
*5000UP
*Soul Devourer- It can devour enemies soul and steal 10% of their power, can only be use if the enemy doesn't resist

"I guess I have receive a new skill huh." Alex said when he sees the mission
"How about the storage Sistine, let me see what I got." Alex said
"Here dear." Sistine said and replace the mission interface to the storage interface

Storage:

*Magical Bracelets: 20x
"Magical Books: 38x ( The 32 magic books is what he got from the finance headquarters while the other 6 was from the assassins headquarters)

"Oh I'm rich now hahaha." Alex laugh when he sees the amount of what he got in the treasure vault
"I was really thinking hard on how to get money since me and Alexia are only leaving with our parents remaining, and judging by how all the girls will always go shopping and need money, I thought that are remaining money would not last a month but with this I guess it has been solve now." Alex said, he had a problem before regarding about money and thought before that having many girls you really need to be rich to make them happy and fulfill anything they want, but now his problem got solve in one day and he also got a bit of revenge of the organization while gaining many treasure. It was killing three bird with one stone, Alex was so happy right now
"I'm glad your happy dear." Sistine said, seeing Alex this happy made her happy too, because there is no way someone would not be happy when they sees that their love one was happy
"Mhm, thanks." Alex said with a huge smile
"Where are you going next dear?." Sistine said, because Alex was now finished with the finance headquarters
"I will go home for now since the sky is starting to get dark, I will go to the last headquarters tomorrow, which is the Researches Headquarters," Alex said, he knows that this other headquarter has a barrier protecting the underground of the building too since he has proven it here in the finance department
"Okay dear, but be careful tomorrow I think they will be always on alert now." Sistine said
"Yes I know but I'm prepared for them no matter how many they are." Alex said, he was confident in his abilities mostly he was confident in escaping if something unexpected happens."

There are Three Strongest power in the Universe The Chaos, The Nihility and The Infinite

Two Ruler of the Gods and Devils hold the power of Nihility and Chaos

The God has the power of Nihility while the Devil holds the Chaos

The God couldn't defeat the mastery of Chaos from the Devil who was at the summit while he is only at the peak, The God sacrificed some of his lifespan to bought some time to create The Unrivaled System

Finally after millions of years the God created the Unrivaled System but he was still not confident in defeating the Devil because he believes only the holder of the Infinite can

In the end the God sees a wandering soul in the void of his Nihility and betted on him that he will hold the Infinite, The God gave the Unrivaled System to the soul and the Power of Nihility and sacrifice his life to buy sometime to make the soul get stronger.
___________________________________________
Now let us see the adventure of the Soul which who will hold the power of Infinite and Nihility while having the Unrivaled System to guide him and destroy the Chaos and be Unrivaled in the Universe.

Just as I step off the elevator on the HR floor, it dawns on me that I fell for the bastards trap. I groan, pulling my hands from the top of my head to the bottom of my face, I was about to back out and he suckered me back into the role. Ughhhh...I wanted to smack my head against the door. Damn him, the smug swine. 

He just doesn't like anyone telling him no, well he's going to regret that.

I scan the cubicles and don't see Ruben, I ask the receptionist where he might be and she points in the direction of his office, I thank her and make a beeline for it.

I knock on his door and he jumps from his seat, patting imaginary sweat off his head, 'Jasmina, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon'.

I cock my head to the side, 'Did I disappoint you, should I come back when you're ready?' I joke. 

His throat bobs up and down as he struggles to get saliva down his throat, 'Not at all! I didn't mean that! What I meant to say is that I have all the documents ready for you as well as your ID and clearance badge for all the levels in the building'.

I clap him on the back, 'Now that's what I like to hear, thanks for your hard work.' I smile down at him, 'Now if you'll be so kind as to escort me to level 13 and introduce me to the Finance department that would be greatly appreciated.' 

Ruben seems more relaxed now as he nods, 'Sure thing Jasmina, here are the things you'll need for today' he hands me my employee badge and keycard. 'Now If you'll follow me, we'll get you settled in and then I'll be seeing you in your office in our department in 2 weeks, is that correct?'

I wink at him, 'That's right, but for now I'll be communicating any directives to you via email so be vigilant in letting the team know to keep an eye out for their inbox should I need an extra set of hands.'

He smacks his lips together, 'You got it, and I'll sort that out as soon as you are settled in'. He gestures for me to get in the elevator and we make out short trip to floor 13. I rub my hands together; finally I can dive into this project and get my mind off of that rude CEO.

Ruben clears his throat as we approach the finance team, 'Hello everyone, this is our newest team member at Milordov Company and she'll be helping you guys out. Please give a warm welcome today'. 

I smile warmly at everyone, 'Hi, pleased to meet you all. I look forward to helping out in any way I can'.

A tall man with salt and pepper hair makes his way out of the crowd of 20 employees and stares at me suspiciously, 'Glad to have you on board Jacky, my name is , I am your team leader. As long as you follow the rules and work hard then we'll have no issues.' He puts his hand out and I shake it.

I keep a smile pasted on my face, 'No problem sir, I'll keep that in mind'.

Ruben clears his throat behind me, 'Alright, it seems like you have things under control Greg I am going to get going, have a great day Jacky'.

Slowly the crowd disperses, and they all get back to work. Greg is still standing in front of me staring at me, weighing me up. I guess he is wondering if I'll be any help to them or a waste of space.

He frowns at me in thought and abruptly snaps his fingers together, ' , come here and show the new girl around and make sure she's fit for the job by the end of the day' I see a skinny short girl bob her head up from her cubicle and make her way over to me with a wide smile. Greg takes one last lingering look at me and trots off to his office.

"Hi Jacky it's lovely to meet you' she grabs my hand and shakes it up and down enthusiastically, 'It's been a while since we've had another girl join the finance team' she leans in close to me with a conspiratorial look in her honey coloured eyes, 'in case you didn't notice we've only got 3 other girls in the finance department so we're constantly surrounded by testosterone, so it's probably put Greg in a foul mood I'm sure he expected another man to be joining the ranks.' She finishes as she beams up at me. 

Cindy excitedly grabs my hand and leads me to my cubicle, which encases a plain white desk, 2 monitors, a pigeon whole, folders, draws and a basic ass black leather chair. It's essentially your stereotypical layout of a desk space in an office minus the exorbitant price tags that I'm sure are on the underside of all these things. 

She goes through a basic induction of how to use everything and all the logins for the programs that I will be using, "If you need anything else or any help don't hesitate to jump at me with them." I laugh shaking my head at her as Cindy winks at me and prances off to her cubicle, which is in the middle of the office. 

I continue staring after her, we're gonna be good friends after all this I can just feel it in my bones. 

You know that feeling you get when you run into a stranger and you know in your gut that you'll meet again or become really good friends. It's just inevitable, that's the kind of feeling I get from Cindy. 

I snap out of my reverie and look at my wristwatch, it reads 2.30pm I better get on with it before I get in Greg's bad books. I crack my fingers and they start flying over the keyboard as I answer emails and get a head start on the days tasks. 

As I'm whizzing through it, my stomach boils at the name on the email notification that I see popping up on my screen. Guess who it's from!

Nikolai: It's 5pm, nearly the end of the day and I'm yet to see any updates from you. You are unbelievable I want you to send it through now!

He forgoes all the professional formatting in the email, and doesn't even bother signing off on is email to me.

I smirk at my computer screen, well Mr. Everyone-does-what-i-want, it looks today is the day he experiences some disobedience for a change. I promptly ignore his message. 

Jasmina's pseudo name is Jacky

Department manager for Finance. Salt and pepper hair and tall. Last name Bradford.

Girl that works in finance and will be Jasmina's friend.

Jasmina Lovic is a smart strong woman assisting the CEO, her cousin, Stevan at ICan Incorporated. She is feisty and knows her way around any business and any man, and is an asset in the corporate world. People seek her out for her expertise. 

But what she wasn't expecting was catching the attention of Billionaire Nikolai Milordov, her mortal enemy. A man she thought, didn't even know of her existence until now. He wants to contract her for a job in his company, but what she doesn't know is that he didn't just ask for anyone he specifically, asked for her. 

What's going to happen when one night of passion changes their lives forever. The man that she once thought he was, isn't at all who he is. 

Will Nikolai conquer his past demons and give into his desire for Jasmina or will his past cause everything to fall apart?

Find out! Start reading! ;)

"…Then, next item the agenda. Shall I move to the "next issue"?"

The atmosphere which had relaxed a little turned tense again. There is no reason to end it here. …Since the people who had gathered here today have a really busy schedule… it will be a wasted opportunity if I do not grasp this chance.

"About the bank, we were talking about earlier; it has been decided that the tax collected from the people of the fief will be invested on road maintenance of the roads in the fief. And also, there one more thing. The establishment of an 'academy.'"

"Academy… Do you say? Such as the one in the Royal City?"

"If it's that kind of disadvantageous academy, there's no need to use the tax money to build it. What I would like to build is an academy that has a primary division which will teach students how to read and write, and an advanced division, which it teaches specialized skills to students… The province's taxes will be used for this because I plan on passing a bill, making primary education compulsory in our province. Just like Blur and Salver. Presently, I want to direct everyone's attention to the advanced division."

"In what way?"

"Frankly speaking, I would like you to invest in it. Although funds will be acceptable, materials and equipment will also be welcomed."

"Wouldn't it be fine to ask the bank you spoke of earlier to finance it?"

"The bank is dependent on the funds of the Hall House and the taxes of the people of the province. If the bank is used to finance something so extensive, it will ruin the balance of income and expenditure, and will result in the collapse of the bank management."

"There is some truth to that. If that's the case, wouldn't it be fine if we wait until the academy has been founded?"

"If possible, I would like to build the academy as soon as possible. Because people are important resources in our province, it will be a shame if we leave them alone and don't polish them."

"…Hmmm. What is the concept of the academy?"

"I will distribute the materials now, please look at them."
Sebastian who came with me distributed the documents to everyone. 

"First of all, I would like to establish a Medical and Pharmaceutical department. Afterward, Territory Administration and Accounting department."

"A medical department… you say?"

The conglomerate directors had surprised expressions on their faces. It's only natural. Because the doctors in this world are only employed by royalties and aristocrats, and thus the knowledge of medicine is not widespread.

"Knowledge is also an asset, is it…"

"Yes."

"However, it's because the number of doctors is scarce that's why they are valuable. If they were to increase in numbers, their value would probably drop…"

"What are you saying. Right now, their numbers are far from enough."

"I don't think I need to say this but, there are profits to be made when there is an increase in the number of doctors among the population. 

That said, the business will be able to make lucrative profits by making equipment used by doctors and medical ingredients. Also, with research, we can expect new medicines to be developed."

"As for the Territory Administration and Accounting Department, it aims to bring up talented people to make the future of the fief more prosperous. …Especially the Accounting Department, don't you consider that is related to everyone?"

"I can more or less understand how Territory Administration will involve us… But how is the Accounting Department related to us?"

"Please look at the third page of the document."

"This is…"

"This is a short excerpt of Very Sweet's account book."

"This is, an account book!?"

Everyone looked amazed when they viewed the contents. In this world, there is no concept of Double Entry Bookkeeping

"This way, one can immediately see when payments for. There's also another document called a 'balance sheet,' and with this, you can easily discern the assets and liabilities. Also, there is an income statement which immediately shows the profits and expenses. As a result, one can easily see the "quantitative" value of the conglomerate…. When you want to apply for a loan at the bank, you'll need to submit this form. After all, with the tax reform happening shortly, poll tax will be eliminated. With this account book, one can easily read the report of how much profit is made, and you'll have to pay the appropriate tax according to this. Of course, there will still be loopholes in this taxation system. Nevertheless, with the taxation system being based on your assets, you'll be able to save on taxes. When one takes some time to consider it, one will find that it will be a big help for everyone."

"…Do you have any authority to change the taxation system?"

"Of course, my father as given me full Authority. Plus, with how I handled the Blur and Salver province. Why wouldn't he trust me"

"…If one enrolls in that academy you speak of, will they be able to learn the method of your conglomerate's account books?"

When a regular person looks at the account books, they might not be able to understand the value of it… However, as expected of the directors of the business, they noticed the importance of this book.

"Yes, of course."

"I've been beaten… I didn't think you'd bring out such a big bait, or rather, the big bait will probably prove to be successful…"

"Yes. There are also other advantages, you know? For example, when the agricultural department starts researching on cultivation improvements, and if they meet with success, those methods will be handed over to the conglomerates who invested in this. What do you think? Isn't it tempting?"

"Haha, it is tempting."

"Now then, I would like to talk to the directors of the business who wants to invest. I do not want to take up any more time of those who are not interested."

One had left when she finished her proposal, though she had suspected at least half of them to leave. For a moment of silent Glass, finial realized something more than half the people in this room started looking like her Fanclubs members.

"Lady Glass. We are, after all, "First-rate Merchants" and we are proud to take part in anything that will yield profits. Rather than being bound by short-term profit, we are Merchants who are moved by large long-term profits. With large profits, it will only be natural to have some risk. And we'll only make our decisions after considering the risks and returns. In conclusion, we will never let an opportunity to make large profits slip by."

"If you're nothing but an average noble young lady, we'll probably just throw the idea away as though it's naught but a pipe dream. However, you not only created a company with your own hands, you have already reached our standings… No, climbed even higher. And what we value is this ability of yours."

"…I am once again proud to be praised by you. Because it is you first-class merchants, who are supporting this province." Glass gave a smile that stabbed the hearts of everyone in the room.

After another month or two past Rica's new reform in place and another new store called "Azure" that sold fashions (Clothes) were established.

The bank and Academies where also finished And Its spread to both Blur and Salver provinces. And the departments are as follows: Finance, Education, Public Affairs, Public Works, and Judicial Affairs. 
 
The Finance department is concurrently working on the taxation. Each department is to calculate their expenses and submit a report in the form of a balance sheet. From there, the bank will take a look at it and give the approval needed. Again, this is being done to prepare of the taxation reform in the future.

The Education department operates similarly to the Ministry of Education in Japan. The academy personnel will decide on what subjects they want to teach, but the Education Department reserve the rights to choose the contents and how much funds will be spent.

The Public Affairs department from Blur and Salver was added they are in charge of managing the people of the territory. As of now, they are busy running about in preparation to make family registers. The Public Works is currently in charge of the road construction, and eventually, they will also be responsible for building public facilities. In other words, because the road maintenance is underway, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are busy.

As for the Judicial Affairs, just as its name suggests, they are in charge of implementing the laws in the fief. They are currently in charge of enforcing the current rules and will be working on law reforms later on.

By the way, it seems that those Merchant had joined the neutral faction.

I’ve traveled through many worlds, lived many lives, granting last wishes. What have I not seen, what have I not experienced? Living brought its sorrows and Joys, now that I am no longer bound to transverse through worlds. What do I do now? But create more worlds and bear gifts to the unfortunate souls. However, the more I do this, the more I being to realize that I miss living. I can barely remember why I was afraid in the first place. 

I want to experience those feelings again.

The next day, while CEO Qin was off to dreamland, he had no idea how big the storm was about to come for him.

As usual, when he woke up, he did his morning routine and got ready for work. He was smiling especially wide that day because of the trouble that he caused for Daniel Cho yesterday. He knew that just by revealing those photos, it will cause a chain of reaction. It may look like it's only a simple case of infidelity but what most people don't know is that this scandal will definitely cause a commotion in the board of directors of Cho Corporation.

And it was already happening that morning as Daniel received a phone call that the board has requested a meeting to discuss this matter. The corporation has been implicated when the article claimed that Trident was receiving under the table privileges because of the two CEO's ambiguous relationship.

While it is not wrong to be romantically associated with each other since they are both single, for the narrow-minded people just like some commenters of the articles, their relationship is being used against them. Some of the software companies who had joined the bidding several months ago have already believed the rumors and they started to feel that they were cheated. 

The telephone lines in Cho Corporation Have been ringing since yesterday when the article was posted. And this morning, the phones still kept on ringing. The callers all wanted to know the truth behind the partnership between the two companies as much as they wanted to know the real relationship between Daniel and Samantha. 

This was what Samantha didn't want to happen a couple of months back. She didn't want to create a problem regarding their cooperation because of their personal relationship. 

Knowing all of the happenings inside the Cho Corporation from an insider, Mr. Qin happily went on his way to Qin Corporation.

When he got inside his office, he was whistling as he checked the news online. The media had reported about the current situation regarding the CEOs of Cho Corporation and Trident. Whilst he was enjoying the attention and trouble his rival was getting, his personal phone rang. 

He checked the caller I.D. and saw his contact from National Tax Service. A slight crease formed on his forehead before he received the call.

"President Qin, I only knew about this just now! They are on their way there to conduct an investigation!"

CEO Qin abruptly stood up from his seat and slammed the table with his heavy hand as he yelled, "WHAT! Why is this happening?! When are they coming?"

"The chief received files and books. And they went through all of it yesterday. We weren't informed and I only even knew about it when I heard that they were already on their way to Qin Corporation."

"You are useless!" Mr. Qin screamed before he ended the call. 

And just a few seconds after, the door from his office opened. Several men came in and they were all in NTS uniform. 

His eyes went wide upon meeting the special agent who was assigned, he introduced himself to the CEO. Handing him a warrant, the agent spoke, "Mr. Qin, this is a search warrant. You are suspected of tax evasion and we are here to conduct a search and investigate the matter. Please cooperate with us."

CEO Qin was speechless as he didn't know what to say to them. Beads of sweat formed on his face as the men started to seize files, data and hard drives from his office. The whole office building of Qin Corporation was full of NTS employees to gather all the pieces of evidence and analyze them.

President Qin has men in the company who was working for him and with him. One of those people was the Finance Director who used to study the law and he was intelligent. He's the one who executes the perfect way to do fraud within the company. 

The Finance Director of the Qin Corporation made funds analysis reports and made all documents as accounting fraud. With his skills, he made fake statements and receipts to hide all those money, he wrote fake books after fake books of their transactions and tax reports. 

The search went for hours and there was nothing else CEO Qin could do but wait for his doom. Sitting on his chair, he was all alone in his office, his facial expression went dark when he realized who was behind all of this.

His assistant walked up to him cautiously as he was afraid that his boss will suddenly lash out on him. "President Qin, the media is outside. I think that you should exit through the back door." He said.

CEO Qin had been quiet the entire time and his train of thoughts was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. It was an unknown number but he picked it up anyway.

"President Qin." Daniel Cho spoke on the other line.

Mr. Qin's face became red because of anger, "DANIEL CHO! YOU F*CKING BASTARD!"

"President Qin, are you calling yourself?" Daniel chuckled, "I can see that you liked my present as you are very emotional right now. You don't have to thank me though."

"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" He barked, the sound of his voice filled the room and the veins in his head had almost popped.

"What exactly did I do, President Qin? I didn't do anything wrong… I'm just merely doing my job as a citizen of this country. The only person you should blame for this is you, you did this to yourself." Daniel Cho said in a low voice, there was no hint of anger but his every word came with a threat with the way he spoke.

"My company is going to fall because of you!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk… President Qin, did you think that I was a pushover? Did you think that I was being lenient because I didn't do anything to you after all those childish articles?" Daniel paused but seeing that CEO Qin didn't reply, he continued. "I was merely waiting for the right time. You see, I had all the proof for years and every year, it's being updated. You didn't do anything to me then so I didn't bother with those books. But… you have touched my bottom line, I hope you enjoy my gift."

"YOU!!" CEO Qin was very agitated, he couldn't say anything back to Daniel after what he just heard.

"You still have a few days until your prosecution… until then, don't wander off too far, President Qin. Don't bother escaping, because wherever you will go, you'll be hunted. While waiting for your end, I suggest that you spend the remaining time with your family. Have a great time in prison."

Mr. Qin went berserk after Daniel's message. He threw the phone to the floor and it cracked. But he was still not satisfied as he started kicking the furnitures, flipping and thrashing everything in his sight. He turned his office upside down while he cursed Daniel Cho.
