Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Back in the system space, Liu Yunshu sank deep into the cloud-shaped sofa and sighed contentedly.

She lingered on the ultimate pleasure brought by the "three roots".

She couldn't help but squint her eyes, a satisfied smile spreading across her lips.

Little Ba flapped its wings and circled her once. "Big Sister, do you want to rest for a bit?"

Liu Yunshu rested her head on one hand, her eyes half-closed, her fingertips lazily tracing the armrest of the sofa, a lingering haze in her eyes.

"Rest? What's the point? Life is about movement!"

Her fingertips paused, and she lazily lifted her eyelids. "What's the mission objective for the next world?"

Little Hachi landed lightly on her shoulder, a shimmering crystal plate appearing in its claws.

"Boss, this time it's an entertainment industry theme! Knowing you like that, it's still three sticks!"

"First place, Lu Xingchen, a rising top singer. He appears gentle and kind on the surface, but is actually sensitive and craves love on the inside. He is seen as a 'puppy dog' by his fans."

Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow and lightly tapped the crystal panel with her fingertip, instantly revealing Lu Xingchen's holographic image.

The boy, dressed in a clean white shirt, smiled at the camera with his eyebrows curving, his eyes as soft as cotton candy, and even his hair exuding gentleness.

"Puppy?"

She chuckled softly, her fingertips tracing the slightly reddened earlobe of the boy in the image.

"She's sensitive and craves love... but she's so cute."

Little Eight nodded hurriedly and scratched the crystal plate with its paw.

"The second one is Shen Hanzhou, the young master of the Shen Group, and a professional race car driver. He has an eccentric and arrogant personality, and is always defiant."

Liu Yunshu's gaze fell on the holographic image, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

The boy in the picture is wearing a black racing suit with his collar casually open, revealing his well-defined collarbone.

His eyebrows were arrogant, but a nonchalant smile played on his lips, as if nothing in the world was worth his attention.

Liu Yunshu whistled softly, her eyes filled with even more amusement: "These thorny roses are only truly flavorful when tamed."

Little Eight flapped its wings excitedly, its claws scratching the crystal plate again.

"The third one is Gu Yanqing! A top-tier actor in the entertainment industry, he has won the Golden Film Award for Best Actor three times in a row. He has a cold and aloof personality, and he keeps his personal and professional life separate. He is recognized in the industry as an 'ice queen'."

Light and shadow flowed across the crystal panel, and Gu Yanqing's holographic image slowly emerged.

The man was dressed in a bespoke black suit, his posture upright like a pine tree, his bow tie impeccable.

His profile features sharp, clean lines, a high nose bridge, and thin, tightly pressed lips.

He was standing on the podium, his fingertips lightly holding the Golden Shadow Award trophy, but his eyes were calm and unwavering, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Liu Yunshu scrutinized the three people in the image, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What is my identity this time?"

"This time, DaDa is an agent from Tianyu Company!"

Liu Yunshu gently stroked the edge of the crystal panel with her fingertips, her smile deepening: "A manager? That makes it convenient to get close to you."

She got up and stretched, causing the cloud sofa to sway gently.

The previous languid atmosphere dissipated somewhat, replaced by a sharp, eager-to-try edge.

"What kind of image does the boss want to create this time?" Xiao Ba proactively brought up the image adjustment interface.

Liu Yunshu did not answer, but focused on carving.

The image she created gradually became clear:

She had medium-length dark brown hair with large patches of silver-white highlights at the ends.

His long, dark eyebrows, with a slightly sharp brow, slanted upwards towards his temples, beneath which were a pair of narrow eyes.

His pupils were an extremely deep black, but the slight upturn at the corners of his eyes added an indescribable allure.

A light smoky gray eyeshadow is blended at the outer corner of the eye, creating a misty effect that makes the eyes appear even more deep and unfathomable.

Her nose bridge is high and straight yet delicate, with a small and refined tip, giving her an air of aloofness.

Her lips are clearly defined, with a natural light pink color. When she purses her lips, she appears aloof, but when she slightly curves them, she exudes a nonchalant charm, as if she were born to captivate hearts.

Her cool-toned porcelain-white skin complemented her dark brown and silver-white hair beautifully.

Standing at 175cm tall, she has a smooth and powerful waistline, beneath which are a pair of straight and long legs.

She wore a low-cut white silk blouse, with the top two buttons undone, revealing her delicate collarbone.

She paired it with black high-waisted wide-leg pants, a thin chain casually tied around her waist, and black stiletto heels.

A simple silver pinky ring adorned her finger, flashing a cold light as it turned, perfectly complementing the occasional sharp glint in her eyes.

Liu Yunshu withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, lightly twirling the pinky ring on her finger, its cold light flashing. "Do you have any similar investment-related tools?"

"Yes! 'Investor's Eye'—whether it's stock or project evaluation, it can accurately predict risks and returns, helping you easily grasp the secrets to wealth!"

With a flick of its little claws, a pair of faint, illusory figures appeared.

"But what do you need this for, sir?"

With a light tap of her fingertip, Liu Yunshu caused the illusory image of the "Investor's Eye" to transform into two pale golden rays that merged into her eyes.

A faint golden glint flashed in his eyes for a fleeting moment, disappearing in an instant, leaving only deep blackness.

"Capital is the foundation of confidence."

A cold smile curved her lips as she rubbed her pinky ring between her fingers.

"I don't like others telling me what to do, and I don't want to be bound by so-called 'rules'."

"Only by having wealth in hand can one do whatever one wants in this arena of profit—whether it's promoting someone or crushing someone, one needs enough leverage."

Seeing Xiao Ba nod as if she understood, she smiled and gently flicked the little guy's round head: "Silly. Let's go."

Little Eight let out a "roar," grinned foolishly, flapped its wings, and followed, the crystal plate in its claws turning into a stream of light and merging into the void.

"Wait for me, Master! The teleportation portal is now open!"

Tianyu Company Headquarters, Tea Room.

"Have you heard? Our company is about to undergo a major transformation!"

Several employees huddled together, whispering to each other in hushed tones, but their eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement.

"Change of government? What does that mean?"

Someone hurriedly asked, and the teacup in his hand wobbled, spilling a few drops of coffee.

A senior administrative staff member looked around and lowered her voice:

"I heard someone secretly acquired almost three-quarters of the shares without making a sound! Now the board of directors is completely powerless, and the new boss is coming to take over today!"

"That amazing?"

Those around gasped in astonishment. "Who's going to spend so much? Our company is one of the four major entertainment companies, after all!"

"I don't know. They say he's a mysterious big shot with very unconventional methods. Even the board of directors hasn't figured out his background."

The administrative assistant took a sip of coffee, her tone subtle.

"Maybe some financial giant has its eye on the lucrative entertainment industry. Our lives from now on won't be the same as before."

Just then, the sound of high heels approached from afar, crisp and clean, instantly drowning out the whispers in the tea room.

Everyone fell silent and craned their necks to look at the end of the corridor.

Against the light, a tall figure walked slowly and steadily.

As the person approached, the tea room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, "...Liu Yunshu?"

"It's definitely her, but today... she feels completely different."

Liu Yunshu walked calmly through the office area in her high heels.

Her dark brown and silver-white hair swayed gently with her movements, and the thin chain around her waist occasionally flashed with a cold light under the lamp.

She was followed by a group of lawyers and financial advisors in suits.

Each of them had a solemn expression and a steady gait, exuding an invisible sense of oppression that kept strangers at bay.

The employees in the office area all stopped what they were doing and stared at her with shocked and confused expressions.

In the past, Liu Yunshu was quite eye-catching, but she was far from being as sharp and charismatic as she is today, to the point that people dared not look directly at her.

"Has Liu Yunshu... struck it rich?" someone muttered in a low voice, nervously twisting the hem of their clothes.

"Are you stupid! Didn't you see the people behind her? That's the chief lawyer from Shenghua Law Firm! And Director Zhang, a regular in the financial section!"

His colleague next to him tugged at him hard, his voice trembling, "Considering what we just heard in the break room... could she be that mysterious new boss?"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

Liu Yunshu seemed oblivious to the whispers around her and went straight to the chairman's office on the top floor via elevator.

The secretary, who was originally standing guard at the door, tried to stop her, but after being glanced at by the lawyer behind her, she froze on the spot, not daring to even breathe.

With a "click," Liu Yunshu raised her hand and pushed open the slightly ajar office door.

The group of people who were holding an emergency board meeting inside turned around when they heard the sound, and the anxiety and anger on their faces froze the moment they saw her.

"Liu Yunshu? How did you get in? Get out!" The former chairman, sitting in the main seat, slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.

Liu Yunshu ignored him and went straight to the empty seat next to the main seat. She crossed her long legs, her posture lazy but her aura imposing.

She lightly tapped the table with her fingertips, her voice clear and icy: "From today onwards, Tianyu Company belongs to me."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" A director suddenly stood up.

"We own company shares, what gives you the right, a mere agent, to make such boastful claims!"

Liu Yunshu raised her eyes, a golden glint flashing in them, and a cold smile curled at the corners of her lips.

"Is 75% of the shares enough?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the financial advisor behind her stepped forward and placed a share certificate on the conference table.

The bright red seal and the clear shareholding ratio struck everyone like a heavy blow.

The office fell silent instantly. The former chairman's face turned from pale to ashen, and he slumped into his chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Liu Yunshu stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her tone indifferent:

"Those who want to stay should behave themselves and do their jobs properly. Those who want to leave, I will buy back their shares at market price, so we can part ways amicably."

She paused, her eyes suddenly sharpening, "But if anyone tries to play dirty tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Everyone was intimidated by her gaze and lowered their heads, no one daring to refute her.
