Chapter 16: Chapter 16: The Tsundere Male System
"1.4 billion—no way you could operate this yourself! But, host, let me tell you something: when you deposit your money in the Universal Land, it doesn't just double steadily. Sometimes, it multiplies randomly. That means your 1.4 billion might become 2.8 billion tomorrow—or it could shrink to 1.6 billion."
"Put it in! Even if it's just 1.5 billion, I'm still making a profit! Why wouldn't I do it? Of course, I'll take the chance! Love you, System! Mwah!"
"Die! Just die already, Host! That's disgusting! I'm a system that's been around for tens of thousands of years, and you're making me listen to this nonsense?"
"Tens of thousands of years? Are you some kind of ancient virgin?"
"Die!!!!!! The system is MALE!"
"Then show me your thingy!"
"You—!!!" Suddenly, Shang Yunyan felt like smoke was coming out of his head.
"Alright, System, I'm done messing with you. I've got to head to the police station now. Be ready to back me up!"
"Hmph!"
"Wow, you really are a tsundere male system!"
"Shut up! Just shut up and DIE!!!!"
By the time Shang Yunyan left the police station, it was already past 9 p.m. Around 6 p.m., a team of accountants from Shang Yunyan's company had arrived, led by Zhang Liping.
They came armed with thick stacks of evidence to charge the four suspects with financial crimes.
At this moment, the four suspects were sitting in the station, completely dumbfounded.
Looking at their state, Shang Yunyan sneered. "What a bunch of scum. So arrogant when they were embezzling, but now they're like deer in the headlights. Hmph!"
"Young Master, should we call in a legal team?" Zhang Liping asked quietly.
"Yes, contact the best legal team through Yuruo. I'm willing to spend the money. I want to teach these people a lesson and set a proper example for everyone in the company."
"Yes, Young Master. But honestly, you don't have to be so serious. That company wasn't even one you started yourself. Maybe there are some unpleasant memories tied to it, but those things are in the past. You should try to let it go."
"I understand, Sister Zhang. But everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do." Shang Yunyan thought about the system's task and replied thoughtfully.
He wasn't the type to hold grudges, but he firmly believed that certain things had to be done the right way. If the foundation wasn't solid, it would make it harder for Xue'er to manage the company in the future.
He was clearing obstacles to ensure Xue'er could smoothly take over.
Shang Yunyan had no intention of working at United Fitter forever. With the system's help, he could create new patents or embark on entrepreneurial ventures that were truly his own.
By the time he got home, it was already past 10 p.m. As soon as he stepped inside, a delicious aroma wafted toward him.
"Ahhh, I'm starving! Chen Peng, Chen Zhan, Sister Zhang, Old Zheng, come eat with me! You've been working with me till late at night without eating!"
"No, Young Master, that wouldn't be appropriate."
"Come on! Look at all this food! Join me, or I'll be upset! Has Xue'er eaten yet?"
"Young Master, Chen Zhan and I already ate. You go ahead."
"Then Chen Peng, Sister Zhang, Old Zheng—come on, let's all eat together! It's so much more fun with everyone!" Shang Yunyan insisted, pulling the others to the table to share a meal and chat.
The group gathered around Shang Yunyan, listening to him recount the events of the day.
"Sister Zhang, you and Xue'er will handle the company's affairs for me in the future. I have other projects to focus on. As for salaries, we'll stick to the company's policies. Xue'er will get an annual salary of 600,000 plus a 2% bonus, and Sister Zhang, you'll get 480,000 annually. Does that sound fair?"
Despite his newfound wealth, Shang Yunyan didn't want to overpay arbitrarily. He stuck to principles, knowing he could always reward his management team with bonuses later.
"Whatever you decide, Young Master," Xue'er said with a cheerful smile.
"Yuruo, anything happen at home today?"
"Young Master, we hired workers to trim all the lawns and do some basic maintenance. Also, I thought the villa needed a thorough cleaning, so I brought in a 35-person cleaning team to scrub everything spotless."
"Oh, no wonder everything feels so sparkling clean—even the crystal chandeliers look brighter!"
"Hehe."
The next morning, Shang Yunyan woke up early and entered the system space to check on the updates.
"Well, well, Host. You finally remembered me!"
"I was exhausted yesterday! I fell asleep right after dinner. Isn't the first thing I did this morning coming here to see you? Let me check this out! Besides the lottery keyboard, you've added a tech keyboard! And there's a little '2' under the lottery icon. Does that mean I have two draws?"
"Correct."
"And the tech keyboard—is it about current technology?"
"Of course not. It's about future technology—each one is god-tier. Use it wisely, and you'll rake in unimaginable wealth!"
"Got it! The Universal
