Chapter 2: A Ruthless Villain, Yet an Idol to Many

With the confidence to contend with the rebellious protagonist, Xu Hao finally took the ti to assess his surroundings.

Tsk, tsk… No wonder this is the CEO office of a hundred-billion-dollar corporation.

The décor was incredibly lavish, with every piece of decoration an antique or famous painting.

When Xu Hao saw a stack of docunts on the desk, he suddenly rembered—these were the papers he needed to sign…

He picked up one file, opened it, and couldn’t help but frown.

“The CEO position is vacant. Vice President Zhao Wei has shown outstanding performance recently and has made significant contributions to the company’s developnt. He is capable of taking on the CEO role.”

“Heh…”

Xu Hao scoffed dismissively.

The vice president, Zhao Wei, was indeed competent, but not by much.

If it weren’t for Xu Hao secretly eliminating his competitors, could Xu Corporation have reached a value of a hundred billion in such a short ti?

Xu Hao could tell that Zhao Wei’s rise was supported by several major shareholders.

Although the company was called Xu Corporation, it wasn’t entirely under his control…

Shares had been distributed when the company went public.

Because the corporation wasn’t a solid block, when the protagonist returned to deal with him, the business wars would easily tear the company apart.

Xu Hao was puzzled.

Given his cunning and ruthless nature, how could he have tolerated these “rats” running around?

Shouldn’t he have dealt with them in secret?

These shareholders, instead of just waiting for their dividends, were also nurturing their own loyalists within the company, plotting against the very foundation of Xu Hao’s empire…

In reality, the rapid developnt of the company was entirely Xu Hao’s doing.

How could such a villainous character not have removed these threats?

Instead, he kept them around to constantly undermine him.

Xu Hao couldn’t make sense of it.

Eventually, he had to bla the protagonist’s “dumbing-down aura” for this oversight…

He casually tossed the docunt aside.

Now that he understood everything, he could no longer tolerate the presence of these “rotten apples.”

Complete control of the company was a must…

What?

You don’t agree?

Then don’t bla for being ruthless.

He would not only kick the shareholders out, but the entire company would undergo a thorough purge.

Anyone who was just sitting on their hands and not contributing—get out.

Although the system had granted him the power to fight back against the protagonist, so external forces couldn’t be ignored…

A thousand-mile-long dam can collapse from an ant hole.

This was the caution a behind-the-scenes player should have.

Xu Hao sifted through the docunts, signing off on useful proposals.

For personnel appointnts and dismissals, he didn’t even glance at them.

Ti passed slowly…

Knock, knock…

After finishing with the paperwork, Xu Hao stretched and pressed a button beside his desk.

Soon, there were two knocks at the door.

Without looking up from the company files, Xu Hao spoke without lifting his head.

“Co in…”

The office door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing gold-rimd glasses, and impeccably grood walked in.

This man was Li Kun, Xu Hao’s secretary.

Besides assisting with daily office tasks, he was also responsible for so of the more secretive matters…

There was no choice… The author had assigned him the role of a real estate tycoon.

To succeed in real estate, one had to be ruthless, wasn’t that right?

When eyeing a piece of land, how would you deal with stubborn residents during demolition?

What about workers who slack off or steal from the construction site?

How would you handle competitors causing trouble?

Xu Hao’s thods were brutal—at best, he would break an arm or a leg, and at worst, he’d send them straight to the afterlife…

It was precisely his ruthless tactics that had allowed him to accumulate billions in wealth in such a short period.

However—

Despite his ruthless, behind-the-scenes dealings and countless cris,

Outwardly, he was considered a well-known philanthropist.

He often participated in charity events, supported charitable causes, and donated large sums.

He built many schools for children in impoverished areas.

Not only had he achieved extraordinary success in business, but his personal character was also spotless…

A billionaire, yet with an incredibly clean private life.

Xu Hao’s Two Wives

Xu Hao had two wives.

His first wife passed away due to a serious illness, so remarrying was perfectly normal, right?

He only had two wives and had never been involved with anyone else.

Even the fact that his secretary was male spoke volus about his character.

Everyone praised him for his noble character.

The truth, however, was sothing only Xu Hao knew…

Damn it, he was a eunuch.

Marrying two wives was just a disguise. He couldn’t have an affair even if he wanted to.

Because of his actions, he had won the admiration of countless people.

“Conscientious entrepreneur,” “A saint for nine generations,” “Gentle and refined President Xu”…

A whole list of righteous, glowing titles were showered upon him without a second thought.

Over ti, Xu Hao beca an idol to many.

He was the role model for aspiring entrepreneurs, the target of ambitious individuals just starting out in society.

With his angelic appearance and devilish heart, a man who could manipulate people’s emotions while hiding a beastly nature…

He was a textbook example of a villain.

Once his true nature was revealed, the satisfaction would be undeniable, right?

For now, he was revered by many, but when his façade collapsed, the sa number of people would co to despise him.

This was the grand excuse the author created for the protagonist to kill his father.

Who didn’t know that it was all in the na of chasing after his sister and stepmother?

In the end, the protagonist would expose Xu Hao’s wrongdoings, and he would be condemned by the masses, scorned by everyone…

But there was one problem.

All of Xu Hao’s shady dealings were actually orchestrated by his secretary.

This secretary wasn’t as obedient as one might think.

He had collected a lot of incriminating evidence but didn’t destroy it; instead, he kept it hidden.

After all these years, it would have been impossible for the protagonist to find evidence of Xu Hao’s cris…

If not for this secretary.

After taking a beating from the protagonist, the secretary confessed and obediently handed over all the evidence.

Xu Hao glanced at Li Kun, his expression unchanged. He gave a calm, detached order:

“Prepare the car.”

“Understood…”

Li Kun replied respectfully.

As he left, he quietly closed the door behind him.

Xu Hao already had plans in mind for how to deal with this treacherous man.

He would deal with him, of course.

But right now, he didn’t have anyone he could trust, so he needed to nurture soone for the future.

This dog was still sowhat useful for now, so there was no need to rush replacing him.

Once Xu Hao had enough power, that would be the ti to dispose of him.

For now, he would just use him as a tool…
