Chapter 123: The Female Protagonist of a Light Novel, Qin Jiuyue
After the employees arranged the flower baskets, Qin Gong took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Su Zhenguo:
“Mr. Su, in a week, our family head will host a birthday banquet for Xiaoyue at the Sihai Hotel. We will also discuss the ownership of several subway lines in Donghai City. Please honor us with your presence.”
“May I ask who this Xiaoyue is?”
“Oh, she’s our family head’s legitimate daughter, Qin Jiuyue. She turns twenty this year, and the old master adores her. That’s why this birthday banquet is being held with such grandeur.”
Hearing Qin Gong’s explanation, Su Zhenguo nodded, “I’ve heard a bit about the Qin family’s daughter. They say she’s quite outstanding.”
Qin Gong modestly responded, “Not at all. Although our Miss is intelligent, she still falls short compared to your son.”
After finishing, Qin Gong exclaimed in admiration, “Mr. Su, your son’s achievements have already been relayed to me by Master Qin. Honestly, if it weren’t from him directly, I wouldn’t believe you possess such insight.”
Su Lin humbly replied, “It’s nothing, just a lucky blind cat finding a dead mouse.”
“Hehe, it’s more than just luck,” Qin Gong said.
Su Lin didn’t continue further but changed the subject, “Butler Qin, today is the grand opening of my Quan Le Gou in Donghai. Everyone who comes is a guest. Why don’t you stay for lunch before heading back?”
Qin Gong shook his head, “I must decline. There are many things I need to attend to at home. I won’t disturb your grand opening.”
With that, Qin Gong signaled, and his entourage got into the car and left.
At this moment, the system’s voice echoed in Su Lin’s mind again.
[Ding! A light novel female lead was detected. Would the host like to receive information? Note: After receiving, the host will inevitably stand in opposition to the protagonist.].Hearing the system’s voice, Su Lin was a bit shocked. The light novel’s female lead must be Qin Jiuyue. Light novels differ greatly from rebirth stories, where the latter emphasize a law-governed society with logical character development.
In light novels, characters often experience significant downgrading in intelligence. The protagonist instantly becomes the best upon arrival, making others look foolish.
As for the female lead, any action of the protagonist is admired by them, leading to an inexplicable love. Furthermore, light novel protagonists often have powerful backgrounds, and Su Lin wasn’t sure what kind he would be facing this time.
Nevertheless, he decided to receive the information now. It’s always better to be prepared sooner rather than later.
“Receive!”
[Ding! Transferring information…]. [Ding! Transfer complete. Would you like to review?]. [Note: This content has been modified to fit the current world.].“Review!”
A novel titled “Divine Doctor Descends to the Flower City” appeared in Su Lin’s mind. The pages flipped rapidly, and Su Lin memorized every detail. After receiving the complete content, Su Lin was puzzled. “System, what do you mean by this?”
[Host, your comprehension seems poor. Since you’ve received the information, the villain is automatically changed as you, and this content is modified by the system around you.].Su Lin nodded in understanding, “Got it. I’m not curious about the original anymore. Let it be modified; it seems fine.”
“Divine Doctor Descends to the Flower City” was a typical light novel – lengthy and, frankly, a bit insipid.
Now, Su Lin had replaced the original villain in the story to become the new one. The tale began a week later when Qin Deshu, the elder of the Qin family, suddenly suffered a stroke and became bedridden.
Then Qin Jiuyue, by chance, met the fated protagonist, Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen saved Qin Deshu’s life using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles technique and quickly became close friends with him.
The rest of the story involved Xiao Chen showing off, face-slapping, and collecting girls, with Su Lin as his target. In the end, Xiao Chen also killed Su Lin.
As for Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan, they later turned Yulin Company into a national giant, surpassing even China Resources Group. They once competed with Xiao Chen and even caused his business alliance to collapse.
However, being ordinary people, they couldn’t match Xiao Chen and others who later acquired the ability to cultivate. Eventually, Xiao Chen set a trap: either Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan agree to be his women, or they die. In the end, Xia Shiyu and Lin Xiaowan chose death!
Zhao Yanyan was not mentioned, which Su Lin thought might be because her favorability wasn’t high enough to join his villain camp. The background of this novel started in Donghai City, but as the plot expanded, it included Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities.
“System, in this light novel world, you’re not going to give me some skills, are you? Xiao Chen has dozens of women and even ascends later on,” Su Lin thought, feeling a headache coming on.
The limit of science is metaphysics, which is already outrageous enough. But the end of a city-based light novel is cultivation, even more preposterous.
Su Lin’s Eight Extreme Fist might be at the master level, but Xiao Chen was already a master when he descended the mountain. How was he supposed to play this game?
[Host, as the system has stated before, any rewards are possible; it’s just that the host’s luck is not good. To put it plainly, you have an ‘unlucky’ constitution.]..“Cough, cough, sometimes I do get lucky, you know. Speaking of which, don’t I still have one more chance to draw a prize? I’ll use it later.”
Su Zhenguo, seeing Su Lin standing still, nudged him: “Come on, snap out of it. They’ve already left.”
Su Lin returned from his conversation with the system and looked at Su Zhenguo in surprise. “Dad, aren’t you leaving?”
“Why should I leave? I haven’t had lunch yet,” Su Zhenguo replied grumpily.
Su Lin was speechless: “Your company is so busy, maybe you should go back. I need to keep an eye on the opening here; I don’t have time to take you out for lunch.”
“Heh, playing favorites, huh? Am I now less than an outsider to you?”
Su Lin earnestly said, “What I just said was polite talk. Do I need to be polite with you? Can’t you see how busy the supermarket is? Can I really leave?”
Su Zhenguo looked at the supermarket entrance, where a steady stream of people was entering and leaving, each carrying something. He roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people per hour.
“That’s fine. Once you’re done here, come to my company or villa.”
Su Lin asked, “What’s up?”
“Of course, this birthday banquet hosted by the Qin family isn’t just a simple celebration. It also involves the outsourcing of subway lines. Since you have connections with their third master, maybe you can network a bit.”
Su Lin replied disdainfully, “Network? No, thanks. I’m too stubborn to bow and scrape.”
“I’m serious, you little rascal!”
“So am I. If you really want to do something big, I’ll give you something that’ll ensure the entire Donghai’s rich and powerful come to you.”
“Don’t joke. The entire Donghai’s elite bowing to me? Donghai is the capital city of Jiangnan Province, not some ordinary county city.”
“This place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. What do you have that could make all the elites of Donghai fawn over me?”
Su Lin smiled lightly, “4G communication technology. Is that enough?”
