Reincarnation Legend
Chapter 18 Overlord
Li Chenxuan, a business overlord, controls a huge business empire.
Su Liyue, a lady from a prominent family, fell into decline because her family was suppressed by Li Chenxuan. She was forced to shoulder the burden of reviving the family and hated Li Chenxuan to the core.
Su Liyue's heartless words kept echoing in Li Chenxuan's mind like a curse.
"I hate you and never want to see you again!" Her voice seemed to carry icy thorns, piercing his heart again and again.
"What you call love is nothing but selfish possession. I've had enough!" Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting his soul.
"From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I don't want to get involved in your world!" Her resolute eyes and cold tone entangled him like a nightmare, making him feel miserable.
"Meeting you won't bring you what you want. I'd rather die than have anything to do with you again." Her last words were like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.
Li Chenxuan closed his eyes in agony, tears streaming down his cheeks. Once, he was a powerful figure in the business world, believing he could control everything, including Su Liyue's feelings. But now, he was left alone in this endless darkness, bearing the pain and regret of losing her. Memories flooded back like a tide, drowning his reason. He wished he could turn back time, allowing him to cherish and love her again. However, it was too late. Su Liyue had passed away, leaving him alone in this world, tormented by pain and self-blame.
On a stormy night, Li Chenxuan had just concluded a crucial business negotiation and was driving his luxury car through the deserted streets. Suddenly, a strange light swooped down from the front, instantly engulfing his car. In an instant, he felt dizzy and unconscious.
When he opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find himself in a completely unfamiliar world.
He found himself in a shabby, dark, rented room, with only a worn-out bed and a chipped table. He frowned, puzzled. He stood up and walked to the window, only to see the narrow, crowded street and the ordinary pedestrians coming and going.
Li Chenxuan tried to dial a familiar number, but found that his phone had no signal. He tried to walk out of the room to look for clues, but was stopped by the landlord at the door and asked for rent.
"If you don't have money to pay the rent, get out!" The landlord's vicious words made Li Chenxuan frown even more.
He had to adapt to this unfamiliar yet realistic environment, find a job, and cope with the trivialities of life. The former business overlord, now in this ordinary world, was trying to find a way back.
Li Chenxuan remembered that he had seen a place recruiting people on the street before, so he decided to take this opportunity to give it a try.
He straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and headed in the direction he remembered. Arriving at his destination, he found a small factory hiring workers. The person in charge of the recruitment sized him up, his eyes full of suspicion: "You're so delicate, can you really handle this kind of hardship?" Li Chenxuan gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I can do it!"
The person in charge sneered: "Okay, then try it for three days. If you can't do it well, you can leave!"
Thus began Li Chenxuan's first stint of physically demanding labor. The factory environment was harsh, the machinery roaring, and he struggled to keep up with the others. By the end of the day, his back and waist ached from exhaustion. But he gritted his teeth, determined to find a way back home.
At the end of the third day, the person in charge looked at his performance and nodded: "Not bad, stay." Li Chenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a livelihood for the time being.
Li Chenxuan toiled diligently in the factory, his clothes soaked with sweat, but his gaze remained resolute. One day, exhausted from toiling, he suddenly remembered that there was an important company event and Su Liyue would be attending.
He knew this was a rare opportunity, and perhaps he could use it to leave a deep impression on Su Liyue and find a way back. So, he asked for leave from the factory, packed up carefully, and headed to the company.
However, when he arrived at the event, he found it bustling with people, but Su Liyue was nowhere to be seen. This filled Li Chenxuan with confusion, and he asked around but could not get any concrete information.
"Did I remember the time wrong? Or has something happened?" Li Chenxuan frowned and wandered in the crowd, unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity.
Just as Li Chenxuan was wandering among the crowd with a frown on his face and full of doubts,
One of the men, who was dressed ostentatiously, was holding a wine glass with a scornful smile on his face. He said to the person next to him: "Look at Li Chenxuan, he thinks he has any chance. What a fantasy!" As he said that, he raised his head and took a big sip of wine.
Another slightly thinner man echoed: "That's right, he doesn't even look at how miserable he is now, and still wants to cling to Su Liyue. It's simply a pipe dream!" As he spoke, he glanced disdainfully in the direction of Li Chenxuan.
At this time, a fat man among them came over, holding up a wine glass, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Come on, let's toast to this arrogant brother!" Several people raised their wine glasses with laughter and pretended to toast Li Chenxuan, their eyes full of ridicule.
Li Chenxuan's face darkened when he heard what they said, but he suppressed his anger and walked forward to ask, "Is Su Liyue here too?"
The supporting characters exchanged glances and burst into laughter. The fat man said, "You're the only one who's qualified to ask about Miss Su? Get lost!"
Li Chenxuan was furious, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force.
"You are a bunch of naive people! Don't go too far!" His voice was low and full of anger, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
The supporting characters were startled by his sudden outburst and their laughter stopped abruptly, but they soon returned to their arrogant state.
"Hey, you still dare to get angry? Do you think you are still the Li Chenxuan who used to be able to make the wind and rain call for action?" The man in ostentatious clothes said provocatively.
Li Chenxuan took a step forward, emitting a strong sense of oppression: "Even if I, Li Chenxuan, am down and out now, it's not your turn to humiliate me like a bunch of clowns!"
The thin man shrank back timidly, but the fat man stiffened his neck and shouted, "Humph, what can you do to us?"
Li Chenxuan took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress his urge to take action. He knew that in this unfamiliar environment, impulsiveness would only make things worse.
"Just wait and see. One day I will make you pay for what you did today!" After saying that, he turned around and strode away, leaving those people where they were. The expressions on their faces were a little complicated. There was disdain for Li Chenxuan's harsh words, but also a hint of worry.
Li Chenxuan slammed the door and walked out angrily. The cold wind outside blew in his face, but it failed to calm the anger in his heart.
Back at the factory, he was distracted while working. His hands mechanically repeated their movements, but he kept thinking in his mind: "Why didn't Su Liyue come? Is she deliberately avoiding me? Or has something really happened?"
As he was thinking, his movements slowed down and he accidentally scratched his finger on the machine. A coworker's exclamation brought him back to his senses. He looked at his bleeding finger and laughed at himself: "Even you are bullying me."
After simply bandaging the wound, Li Chenxuan continued to work, but Su Liyue's figure lingered in his mind, making him more and more irritated.
Su Ruiyuan walked into the company with steady steps, his face showing his usual sternness.
In the corner, those vicious supporting characters who had humiliated Li Chenxuan gathered together and whispered.
"See? Su Ruiyuan is here. He's a real big shot." The man in ostentatious clothes said in a low voice.
The fat man nodded quickly: "That's right, compared to him, Li Chenxuan is nothing."
The thin man's eyes turned: "We have to fawn over Su Ruiyuan, maybe we can get some benefits from him."
"Humph, I'm just afraid that others will look down on us." The boastful man curled his lips.
The fat man sneered, "What are you afraid of? Let's provide him with some useful information. For example, that kid Li Chenxuan is still trying to get close to Su Liyue."
"That's a good idea. Maybe it will make Su Ruiyuan look at us differently." The thin man agreed.
As they talked, they secretly observed Su Ruiyuan's movements, thinking about how to approach him and please him.
Su Ruiyuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the company, looking at the bustling street scene outside the window, and remembered what Su Liyue once said: "Brother, my heart is dead. Even if you can control the whole world, you can't control my feelings." These bloody words kept echoing in his mind, making him frown and feel depressed.
When Su Ruiyuan learned that Su Liyue couldn't come to the company party, he vaguely guessed that it might be his fault. His face darkened and his mood grew increasingly irritable.
At the company meeting, Su Ruiyuan forced himself to cheer up and began to explain the company's new products.
"We invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this product," he said in a deep and powerful voice. "From market research to design and development, every step has been meticulously polished."
He glanced at the employees present and said, "It has unique innovations and competitive advantages. We are confident that it will occupy a place in the market."
However, despite his clear and logical explanation of the product, he was still a little distracted by Su Liyue's thoughts. He even paused slightly when he reached a key point.
"Next, all departments must work closely together and advance the work according to the predetermined plan." Su Ruiyuan hurriedly concluded his presentation. "We must ensure the smooth launch of the product."
After the meeting, Su Ruiyuan sat alone in the office, lost in thought.
Su Liyue sat quietly in the park courtyard, the sun filtering through the leaves onto her. She wore a large, dazzling diamond, which shone brightly in the sunlight, but it couldn't illuminate her slightly sad face.
She unconsciously turned the ring on her finger, as if trying to break free from some invisible restraint.
Su Liyue, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family, suddenly awakened in the stillness of the night, shocked to discover she had been reborn. The tragedy of her past life, the result of her entanglement with Li Chenxuan, was still vivid in her mind, and the pain and despair almost consumed her.
In this life, she's determined to change her fate. She plans to tell her younger brother, Su Yifeng, a rising star in the family business, everything. Together, they'll plan the company's future development, with one goal in mind: to stay away from Li Chenxuan and completely escape the man who brought her endless pain.
However, just as she was about to take action, Su Ruiyuan's appearance disrupted her thoughts. Su Ruiyuan, a figure who could call the shots in the business world, had a deep and sharp gaze that left Su Liyue at a loss for words.
"Liyue, you look like you have a lot on your mind." Su Ruiyuan's voice was low and magnetic.
Su Liyue avoided his gaze in panic, "No, nothing."
"Really?" Su Ruiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing her answer.
Su Liyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Brother, there are some things I haven't figured out how to tell you yet."
Su Ruiyuan looked at her thoughtfully, "Liyue, no matter what happens, brother will support you."
Su Liyue bit her lip, feeling mixed emotions.
Su Liyue gathered herself together and finally mustered the courage to speak to Su Ruiyuan, "Brother, I want to discuss the company's plans with you. We should focus on developing new product lines, such as high-end custom jewelry. Also, I think we could collaborate with the Xingchen Group, as they have a significant market influence."
Su Ruiyuan nodded slightly, indicating that she should continue.
