King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Seeing this, I snorted slightly and smiled faintly: "President Meiyun, your 'using your body as bait' tactic to lure the enemy in is truly ingenious!"

There's a second half to my sentence I didn't say: You're right next to me now, aren't you worried that I might do something to you?

Xu Meiyun was taken aback, looked ahead, and understood what I meant...

"parking!"

Xu Meiyun screamed, and the driver immediately stopped the car.

Xu Meiyun pushed open the car door and stormed out, while I took out my phone, ready to call Xu Meijuan.

At that moment, the driver's words completely stunned me: "Mr. Song, don't worry, I'm also one of Ms. Meijuan's people."

wipe!

The saying goes, "Planning strategies in the command tent and winning battles a thousand miles away," and Xu Meijuan is truly something else!

Not only Xu Shaokun's bodyguards, but even Xu Meiyun's driver are her people!

No wonder he can challenge Hsu Chia-yi; his title of "President" is no joke!

The Bentley's sound insulation was so good that I couldn't hear what Xu Meiyun and Xiao Bo were saying not far ahead. In short, it seemed like the two were arguing, and Xu Meiyun even pushed Xiao Bo.

Seeing this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Only after Xiao Bo drove away dejectedly did Xu Meiyun return angrily, arms crossed, and get back into her car.

"He's crazy! I told him I had things to do today, but he still insisted on coming to see me!"

Xu Meiyun, still angry, closed the car door and turned to me with a smile: "Assistant Song, please don't take offense, he's just a scoundrel!"

"Oh..." I frowned and nodded slightly.

The car slowly drove into the villa's yard. Xu Meiyun and I got out of the car, and the driver parked it in the garage.

"Assistant Song, welcome to my home!"

Xu Meiyun looked at me with a smile and took the initiative to push open the door.

You can tell from the interior design of Hsu Mei-yun's home... she's a woman of "depth"!

Their home's decor is less like a luxurious palace and more like a natural science museum.

The cabinet is decorated with fossil specimens of plants and animals, as well as some European retro-style scientific instruments, such as telescopes, sextants, globes, and other similar items, along with some bottles and jars, and brass mechanical devices that I don't know the names of.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is a dinosaur fossil that is taller than a person, placed in the center of the living room!

I'm shocked!

Can a private individual own something like this? Is this even real?

Seeing my surprised look, Xu Meiyun chuckled and said, "Please excuse my clumsy appearance! There's a lot of stuff in the house, so it's a bit messy..."

"No, no, no!"

I laughed and said, "Meiyun is a true scientist! Others study hard to make a living, but you study out of genuine passion!"

"Hehe, you flatter me, please have a seat!"

Xu Meiyun invited me to sit down, and the nanny also brought over two cups of coffee at the same time.

"Mr. Song's interpretation of a line from Li Shangyin's 'The Brocade Zither' yesterday was truly insightful and admirable..."

Xu Meiyun took a sip of coffee and smiled, "I imagine you must have a deeply unforgettable past, right? Could you tell me about it?"

"Oh!"

I shook my head and smiled wryly: "Why would Mei-yun be interested in this?"

Xu Meiyun looked at me earnestly: "I'm interested in all things and people with depth... Assistant Song, your interpretations and insights into literary works are truly profound. You couldn't say something like that without deep life experience... Unlike what's written in books, which is just nonsense to fool idiots and not worth reading!"

"Oh? How do you know?" I asked with a smile.

Xu Meiyun blinked her eyes wisely: "If a sentence can be said without offending anyone and can be said publicly, then that sentence is nonsense! But truly useful words will definitely offend people because they tear away the fig leaf of some people... Whether it's books on the market or the knowledge you learn in college, they have all been approved and can be said publicly without offending anyone, so... basically they are all useless nonsense."

"Hiss~! That makes sense..." I nodded thoughtfully.

I discovered that the Xu sisters all share a common characteristic: they are all exceptionally sharp-minded, and although their ideas are aggressive, they are all very reasonable!

"So if it's useful, it will definitely hurt people, right?" I asked curiously.

"Giggle giggle!"

Xu Meiyun laughed and said, "Don't you know who you hurt by whispering with your older sister behind closed doors? Would you dare let the lower-level laborers hear what you said at the board meeting? Think about it carefully..."

"Uh, this..." I blushed with embarrassment.

Indeed, Xu Meijuan and I were in bed together, and we cursed countless people as idiots...

"so......"

Xu Meiyun said with a smile, "I hope that my conversation with Mr. Song will be constructive and insightful, rather than just empty words to fool people. Similarly... I will treat you with sincerity."

wipe!

I've noticed that these two sisters are really alike! Not only are they both sharp-minded, but they also like to "get things done" and pursue efficiency!

I simply can't imagine that such a profound woman—no! a female scientist...—would fall for someone as frivolous, arrogant, foul-mouthed, and ill-mannered as Xiao Bo!

This Xu Meiyun is not the "bookworm" that Xu Meijuan described at all. She's actually a female version of Sima Yi!

Looking into Xu Meiyun's sincere eyes, I chuckled bitterly: "Actually, it's nothing much. My girlfriend from college ran off with someone else... I stared at my guitar and shamelessly shed a few tears. The strings started to double, so... I resonated with the poet."

"Oh, I see!"

Xu Meiyun nodded in sudden realization, then asked with a playful and mischievous look, "Mr. Song can play the guitar? Could you play me a tune?"

"Uh... okay, I guess," I said with an awkward laugh, "but I don't have any instruments on hand."

"What's the big deal? I have some at home!"

Xu Meiyun got up excitedly, ran upstairs to the second floor, and took down a guitar.

"I wanted to learn it before, and I even bought a copy, but I've always been too busy to get around to it..."

Xu Meiyun handed me the guitar.

I tried tuning it, and it was indeed a good guitar with a pure and delicate tone, incomparable to the junk I bought for 200 yuan!

"Mr. Song, can you play Xu Ruyun's song 'Tears of the Sea'?" Xu Meiyun moved over and sat down on the same long sofa as me.

"Uh...yes!" I nodded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, she also loved listening to this song, just like Lin Lan.

But then again... her name is only one character different from that singer's...

"Love has ceased to move, what else is worth my heartache? The sky above you is raining, and in the dark night, no one cares for you..."

As the guitar melody began, Xu Meiyun started humming along. Her voice was beautiful, unlike Xu Meijuan's, which had become hoarse from years of smoking...

I don't know why, but listening to Xu Meiyun's humming, I thought of Lin Lan again, and all the little things we did together.

Especially when Hsu Mei-yun hummed "How could you bear to let my tears flow to the sea... The feelings I gave will never be found again...", I actually imagined Lin Lan crying in front of me, which made my heart ache.

Sometimes... people are just so strange. My rational mind tells me that she's the one who made the mistake! Yet I feel guilty. What the hell!

"You played so well! Who else can you play?"

Xu Meiyun excitedly asked me, "Can you play Jeff Chang's songs?"

"Uh...yes!"

"Quickly! Play it for me!"

Xu Meiyun was overjoyed, as if she had instantly switched from "Female Sima Yi" back to her little girl mode.

The Xu family really does seem to follow their roots; they all have this tendency towards multiple personalities.

For the entire afternoon, Xu Meiyun listened to me play the piano in the living room. She even asked me to teach her, but after teaching her a couple of times, she found it too troublesome and simply gave up. She just listened intently to me play and wanted to hear me sing... We didn't talk about those 'heavy' or 'mind-bending' topics anymore.

She's 10 years older than me, and she likes old songs that were popular in the last century, so her taste is the same as mine... so we can be considered "compatible".

Because I was teaching her to play the guitar, I inevitably had to hug her... Xu Meiyun didn't seem to mind at all, nestling sweetly in my arms as she earnestly learned the fingering techniques...

Even later, when she was just listening to me play, she would stay close to me... completely immersed in the music, swaying back and forth.

Although playing guitar was my only hobby while I was at a pig farm during my graduate studies, playing for an entire afternoon still got tiring...

After I finished playing the last piece for her, "Should I Leave Quietly?", I pleaded with a wry smile, "Meiyun, let's stop here for today. Look... it's getting dark, I should go back..."

Xu Meiyun looked at me with a strange expression, but didn't say anything.

Her eyes were so watery and full of innocence, just like when Lin Lan and I first went on our date...

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and tilted her chin slightly forward.

wipe!

At that moment... my head went blank, and my heart felt like it had been struck by an electric current!

She...she's asking for a kiss!

It seems experience truly matters... Xu Meijuan saw it all last night: Xu Meiyun's heart has strayed... Her love for Xiao Bo has shifted!

I just didn't expect things to happen so suddenly!

My mouth unconsciously moved forward slightly, and our lips lightly touched... Xu Meiyun immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me passionately!

Her heavy breathing exhaled hot breaths, burning my cheeks...

Even at this moment, I still couldn't believe the reality before my eyes, my eyes still wide open in shock!

I actually kissed Xu Meiyun! This...this is unbelievable!

We kissed for a full minute. Xu Meiyun hugged me tightly, her single-eyelid, squinty eyes wide open, and she murmured emotionally, "Mr. Song... stay, don't leave, okay?"

"Uh..." I nodded subconsciously, and my hand instinctively wrapped around her waist.

Xu Meiyun looked at me affectionately, gently cupped my face in her hands, and asked, "Your name is Song Cheng?"

"Yes!" I nodded.

"You'll take responsibility for me, right?" Xu Meiyun's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Uh..." I nodded mechanically again.

Xu Meiyun wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, rested her chin on my shoulder, and whispered tenderly, "I like you! I can give myself to you, but I'm not young anymore, I can't afford to lose... Don't just do this to play with me..."

After saying that, she began to unbutton her clothes one button at a time.

At that moment, the villa's door was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Jiayi walked in!

When the old man saw the scene before him, he was so shocked that he felt as if he had been electrocuted!
