The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Shouldn't we celebrate your acceptance letter separately?" Xu Mei looked at her beloved with affection in her eyes.

Ye Xinglu smiled and said, "Then I'll invite you to dinner another day?"

"Why wait until another day? Didn't we get it today? We should celebrate today!" She smiled and took a gift box from the car, handing it to him. "I specially picked out a bottle of red wine. Let's find a quiet place and have a couple of glasses!"

"Isn't it too late?" Ye Xingluo raised her wrist to check the time; it was almost 11 p.m. "Uncle Xu, he..."

Xu Mei's round face had deep dimples, and her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at him. "I'll go tell Dad that you can wait for me in the car!"

"But..." He was about to say that he had come in his grandfather's car, which seemed a bit inconvenient. But the other person turned around and ran to his father to say something, so Ye Xingluo opened his mouth but had to give up.

Jiang Chen leaned against the car, swinging his long legs, and asked with a smile, "Young Master, would you like a ride with me?"

"Alright then, I'll go tell the old man. Could you please drive us back to Villa No. 16 later, Dr. Han? And if... I've had a few drinks tonight, I'll probably need you to take her home too..."

Jiang Chen: ∑('△｀)？ !

Cats aren't stupid, are they?

It's this late, and the girl is being so proactive, and you're still thinking about taking her home?

I guess... I really need to help you out this time!

Ye Xingluo looked helpless, but inside she was excited, nervous, and a little expectant.

Is their relationship about to take things to the next level?

Having a drink, chatting, and stargazing sounds wonderful! After working so hard for so long, finally receiving the acceptance letter definitely deserves a good time to relax and celebrate...

So, that night, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the melodious songs of orioles, and neither Jiang Chen nor the little white cat slept well.

The next morning, he sat listlessly in the dining room, eating breakfast alone, his dark circles under his eyes. The fluffy little ball of fur, no longer bouncing around, scurried in with its ears and tail drooping, yawned, and lazily asked, "Host, how's it going on your end? Did the drugging go smoothly?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and said in a slightly tired voice, "I didn't find an opportunity. Xu Mei had already tampered with that bottle of wine. After they came back, they had two drinks on the viewing balcony and then went upstairs."

Wow, you're really in a good mood!

"This mission world really seems to have an inextricable connection with medicine." The little white cat got up, snuggled onto his shoulder, found a comfortable position, and grumbled, "I didn't even have a chance to do anything!"

The host's prediction was absolutely right. After the celebration banquet, Ye Zhong made an excuse to stay at the villa, while Ye Xingchen, Yang Qingwei, and Yang Yingying all left one after another.

Then he blocked the female lead, An Muya, at the door and forcefully dragged her into the room, yelling and shouting angrily while making a heartfelt confession, acting like a mentally ill actor.

After acting out a sentimental scene for quite a while, the two bickered and pulled at each other for a long time before finally embracing and pouring out their hearts to one another.

Ye Zhong made an excuse to let An Muya take a shower and change her clothes, while he took a bottle of red wine, opened it, and put the drug in it;

After the female lead finished getting ready, he poured two glasses of wine for An Muya to drink, but she acted cute and coquettish, asking him to go wash up as well.

Taking advantage of Ye Zhong's absence, An Muya somehow managed to get a packet of medicine and poured it into her wine glass.

Jiang Chen: (ー_ー)!!

This approach is way too unconventional!

"Same efficacy?"

"I think they should be the same, otherwise Ye Zhong wouldn't be so energetic at his age."

The little white cat rested its paw on its chin, yawned, and muttered, "Now I'm worried about what will happen if An Muya gets pregnant and has a baby."

The Ye family's situation is even more murky now!

"Then, when our Cat General wants to take over the Ye Group, the resistance will be even greater."

"Don't worry about that, Yang Yingying is no pushover." He waved his hand listlessly and said, "I'll be helping Cat Boss start his business for the next while, so I'll probably be very busy."

Keep a close eye on the Ye family's movements, and remember to record audio when necessary and film videos when appropriate.

The female lead's own development of relationships is already enough to give the scriptwriting team a headache.

Yang Qingwei, Ye Xingchen, and Ye Zhong are all in love with An Muya; last night, An Muya spent the night with Ye Zhong; Yang Yingying and An Muya are enemies, but she is also related to Yang Qingwei, who is in love with her, as they are aunt and niece with vested interests.

"This saga involving the Ye Group should be going to be quite a spectacle for a while."

Before falling asleep, the fluffy little dumpling mumbled softly, "The script team is probably going to hate us again. You'll definitely be on the list of the most unpopular hosts of the year..."

After their one-night stand, Ye Xingluo and Xu Mei's relationship progressed smoothly. In the second month after he went to school to start his studies, the two held an engagement ceremony witnessed by their parents.

Perhaps it was her auspicious appearance that pleased the old man and woman, or perhaps it was their appreciation of the Xu family's wealth and Xu Mei's personal abilities; in any case, the two elders were very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

Ye Zhong remained indifferent to Ye Xingluo. Although he attended the engagement ceremony and felt that the marriage would be beneficial to the Ye Group, he still couldn't bring himself to like this son.

Especially when I see his face, I think of my deceased ex-wife; her pale, desperate face before her death was somewhat eerie.

"As the saying goes, 'settling down means starting a family and then building a career.' Now that you're settled down, shouldn't you be thinking about starting your own business?" Jiang Chen placed a thick stack of business plans on his desk. "Further education, dating, and starting a business—don't neglect any of them."

"We aim to build a brand new online business empire within two years!"

"E-commerce? What's that?" Ye Xingluo asked, her face full of confusion.

The "Starting from Zero" system has been stuck in learning mode ever since, seemingly aiming to transform itself into a business whiz.

As for starting a business, he hasn't thought of any good projects yet.

Jiang Chen raised her chin. "You'll know once you read it. I've already done all the necessary preparations for you."

Once you've thoroughly understood this information, you can take the proposal and approach the people on the list to solicit investment.

Chapter Twenty-One: You happen to have a relative...

"Online shopping platforms, courier companies, food delivery platforms, live streaming platforms, PvP mobile games..." Ye Xingluo scanned the list quickly, and the system had already begun to automatically assist him in analyzing the feasibility of these projects.

We will also analyze the initial investment, the best management and operation methods, and the subsequent benefits and effects.

【经严格谨慎分析后，确定《网络购物平台计划》、《速递物流公司运营方案》、《团购外卖平台》、《直播短视频平台建设》、《对战PK手游基本设定》等一系列策划项目可实施性为10分、9.5分、9.5分、10分、10分……

The future profit prospects are promising, and it has been determined that all of it is suitable for investment and operation!

The system notification startled Ye Xingluo.

He had considered some entrepreneurial projects before, but the system always scored less than six points on feasibility analysis, suggesting that he refine his entrepreneurial goals before considering investment.

At the time, he thought it would be quite difficult to find a profitable business project, but he never expected that every evaluation Dr. Han submitted would be so high!

"Dr. Han, you're such a waste of your talents to be a doctor!" Ye Xingluo looked at him in astonishment. "You're a business genius! Are you sure you want to entrust all of this to me?"

"Take any project and find investors to operate it; you'll definitely make a fortune within two years. Such a great opportunity, and you're giving it to me?"

Jiang Chen shrugged and laughed, "It's not like it's given away for free."

I'll provide you with business ideas and assist you in operation and development; you can give me shares in return. Once our project starts making a profit, I'll quit my job as a family doctor, find a like-minded girl, get married, and live a wealthy and leisurely life.

"No problem!" Ye Xingluo slapped her thigh excitedly, clenched her fist, and waved it. "Just wait to collect your dividends; we might actually succeed!"

Little white cat: (ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~

"You really underestimate my host, don't you? I may not know much about other things, but when it comes to mobile games, my soft and cute little kitten has helped improve them with her rich experience playing games in countless mission worlds!"

It lazily stretched out its paws and sneered, "I've already let you copy my homework directly, and you have a perfect scorer assisting you. It's impossible for you to fail in your startup, okay?"

Following the recommendations of the auxiliary system, Ye Xingluo decided to start by integrating and creating a brand-new online shopping platform.

"For this plan to be implemented smoothly, what points do you think I should pay special attention to?" He pulled out the corresponding plan and said modestly, "To be honest, I haven't bought many things myself, since most of them are customized."

So I basically have no knowledge of online shopping.

This is the plan you came up with; if we want it to be implemented, we'll need your help to consider some details.

Cat's temperament and personality have indeed changed a lot. He is no longer that arrogant, reckless, and immature teenager!

Jiang Chen was clearly satisfied with his changes, nodding and smiling: "Nothing else matters. If you want the shopping platform to run smoothly, the most crucial thing is the fund transfer app."

When a buyer makes a payment, the funds go through our platform's intermediary system. Only after the buyer confirms receipt of the goods does the money flow into the seller's account. The app responsible for this fund transfer also needs to be developed into a comprehensive financial platform that links to bank cards and offers various functions such as savings, transfers, payments, and the purchase of financial products.

I have written the specific plan very clearly in the proposal.

When developing apps that involve money, we must ensure they are impenetrable to hackers; in other words, their security level must be at the highest level. Otherwise, if compromised, users' financial security will be threatened.

"Therefore, we need a very capable team dedicated to maintaining the network security of the app. This is a huge problem; I've never encountered anyone with expertise in this area before, and I can't judge whether someone is capable of handling the job..."

"I had already considered this issue when I was thinking about this plan." Jiang Chen snapped his fingers and smiled slightly. "As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. When we build a team, we need to find reliable and capable people."

"And young master, you happen to have such a relative!"

"Relatives?" Ye Xinglu looked bewildered. "What relatives? I don't know anything about them."

The little white cat also perked up, its face full of gossip and questions, "Host, is it written in the script? Why don't I know that Cat Boss has any relatives?"

It doesn't mean that his mother, who was an only child, died unexpectedly;

Did my maternal grandparents also pass away after their property was embezzled?

Are you referring to the old man's illegitimate son's lineage?

Jiang Chen nodded in affirmation and said, "That's right, this person is not only your relative, but also very closely related by blood! Moreover, I have secretly investigated him, and he is very reliable."

Ye Xingluo became even more curious, her mind racing and her eyes lighting up. "You...you wouldn't have gotten in touch with the old man's other lineage, would you? I heard it caused quite a stir back then, and even the old lady's trusted confidants couldn't wipe them out completely. My father also tried, but he could never get to the bottom of that lineage."

The old man protected them very well; only occasional rumors circulated, but no one had ever actually seen anyone from that lineage.

"Dr. Han, are you trusted so much?"

Oh no, it shouldn't be that he was trusted by the old man to an extreme degree, after all, he was too young and hadn't been in charge for very long.

It must be Dr. Han!

Yes, absolutely!

Who would have thought that my family doctor, whom I'd never paid any attention to, would have such a network of connections? You really can't underestimate anyone...

His thoughts wandered for a moment, and he recalled anecdotes about hacker attacks that could never be traced, only to be discovered later that a security guard had been bribed to help pull the switch.

If we utilize the connections and secrets that Dr. Han has accumulated over the years, it might play a crucial role!

Ye Xinglu thought she had guessed correctly and was lost in thought about other things when she saw Dr. Han smile and shake her head, saying in a gentle voice, "No, you guessed wrong."

They are not from the old man's lineage.

Even if we could actually get in touch with them, I wouldn't recommend asking them for help; that would be like asking a tiger for its skin.

It's easy to let wolves into your house, but it's difficult to get them out again.

What's more, it's such an important entrepreneurial opportunity for you?

If the enemy gains control of the core, do you think they will still keep you around once online shopping platforms are established?
