She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

In the stillness of the night, Jiang Lai put on her headphones and softly read into the microphone: "Once I fell in love with her, I could never stop loving her. I naturally understand how much sadness and pain this will bring me, and how this sorrow haunts me every moment, lingering in my heart day and night. Loving her is against common sense, it hinders my future, it makes me lose control, it shatters hope, it destroys happiness, it is destined to make me taste all the frustration and disappointment, but once I fell in love with her, I could never stop loving her..."

With a soft voice and a gentle tone, Jiang Lai looked at the content on her phone and finished reading the chapter, which took about fifteen minutes. She found a video of a fireplace being lit online, added the sounds of rain and campfire, as well as the white noise of turning pages, and a lullaby was ready.

The voice the system gave her had a bonus under special circumstances, and Jiang Lai tentatively thought it would also be useful in putting people to sleep. People who were still awake at night, apart from night owls, were those who had difficulty falling asleep, and Jiang Lai hoped to gain the favor of this group of people.

Many people in modern society have difficulty sleeping, so if you can really attract their attention, that's already a success.

Jiang Lai was reading a famous passage from one of her favorite classics, a self-revelation by the male protagonist. Even people who don't suffer from insomnia might be drawn to such sentences if they come across this video, because people are always more sentimental at night.

Jiang Lai edited the video on her phone and posted it. It's the middle of the night now, so posting this video is perfect.

After uploading the video, Jiang Lai put down her phone, turned off the lights, stared at the ceiling in the dark, and began chatting with 001 in her mind.

"001, will you leave me?" "Does the host want me to leave you?"

"Of course not! At least I still need you right now." Jiang Lai rolled over. "Actually, it's great to have you, hehe, love you."

001 said apologetically, "Host, you should go to sleep!"

"Understood, goodnight, 001..." "Goodnight, host."

At 2 a.m., many offices in the business center of the capital were still lit up, and the 27th floor of the Fu Group Building was also brightly lit. This was the president's exclusive floor, where the current CEO of the Fu Group worked.

Fu Changyuan took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his fatigue. He leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

The door opened, and a well-dressed man walked in. He was wearing a flashy floral shirt and off-white casual pants, his outfit was flamboyant and extravagant.

"Oh, Mr. Fu, you're not off work yet?" the newcomer asked casually.

Fu Changyuan didn't even open his eyes. "Next time, knock before you come in."

"Ha, why are you knocking on the door? Is there something I can't know? I'm not hiding a mistress, so why are you being so coy?"

Fu Changyuan opened his eyes and glanced at the person leaning against the cabinet opposite him. "Ye Kongxing, are you free? Have you finished all the things I asked you to do?"

The man called Ye Kongxing waved the documents in his hand. "I've got it all done for you. It shows the current operating status of all the businesses under the Fu family's name. This thing took me almost a week to compile! I haven't seen my pretty sister in ages. I don't care, the next week is my rest time. Don't even think about exploiting me anymore!"

Fu Changyuan chuckled softly, his deep voice echoing in the large office, "Once this document is all correct, you can take a day off."

Ye Kongxing waved his hand: "Even if there's a problem, I need to rest for a week! You heartless capitalist don't treat me like a human being, so I can't treat myself like an animal, can I? In internet parlance, even the donkeys in the production team need to rest for two days!" Then he launched into a long string of nonsense, talking about how hard he worked and how tired he was.

Fu Changyuan sighed and pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Fine, fine, I'll let you rest for two days, three days at most. A week is impossible. I need you to keep an eye on things here."

Fu Changyuan was the successor handpicked by Old Master Fu, but there were quite a few people in the group who were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. As a new official, before he had even started to make a name for himself, he already knew that the people under him were not of one mind with him, and that he was restricted in his actions at every turn. He needed to have his own people.

Ye Kongxing and he had grown up together since childhood. Ye Kongxing was his good assistant, and he really couldn't do without him.

Having received his boss's approval, Ye Kongxing finally stopped his mischievous ways and happily said, "Three days it is! I need to spend two days with my little beauty. You're not allowed to assign me any tasks or contact me during these two days!"

"Understood." Fu Changyuan had already started reading the report in his hand, and he gave Ye Kongxing a look indicating that he could leave.

Ye Kongxing turned and walked out of the office with satisfaction, then turned back after thinking for a moment, his tone full of concern, "Get some rest, Changyuan. Don't ruin your health by working so hard like this."

Fu Changyuan waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Seeing that he had responded, Ye Kongxing closed the office door and left.

Fu Changyuan looked at the report in his hand and wanted to facepalm. Many of the businesses that the Fu family was involved in were currently not making money or even losing money. They should have been cut off long ago, but since many of the people in charge of these businesses were the same group of people who started from scratch with Old Master Fu, it was really difficult to deal with.

He originally intended to make sweeping reforms to the group's business right from the start, but his second and third uncles held him back. They were the ones who absolutely refused to touch those sunset industries in order to gain the support of those older employees. That's right, his two uncles weren't really happy about him as their successor.

However, the Fu family still has some good businesses, such as the entertainment projects they are very optimistic about.

Yuanyang Network Media Co., Ltd., under the Fu Group, has seen its Douyin app perform well. It is a short video app that combines the advantages of other live streaming software on the market, offering features that others cannot. In addition to posting videos, users can also conduct live streaming, PK battles, play games, shop, and more.

Seeing that Ye Kongxing had devoted a lot of time to introducing Douyin and its profitability, Fu Changyuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. He knew Ye Kongxing; he preferred to explore new fields rather than deal with the various problems left over from the group.

On the surface, this report praises Douyin, but in reality, it is Ye Kongxing's veiled petition. He would rather go to the subsidiary to take charge of Douyin's affairs than stay at headquarters.

Fu Changyuan looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Even though the smog was severe tonight and the stars were nowhere to be seen, the lights of the building still added a touch of tranquility and peace to the night.

Another sleepless night.

Fu Changyuan was already used to nights like this. He had severe difficulty falling asleep, so he was used to working at night. Rather than trying to sleep, he preferred to continue handling group affairs.

Fu Changyuan had never downloaded Douyin, but he had a corporate account. His subsidiary had given him a special account with money deposited into it, which he could use to watch videos and stream live streams and send virtual gifts.

With that in mind, Fu Changyuan simply took out his work phone and logged into his Douyin account. He needed to actually evaluate Douyin.

He opened Douyin, selected login, and was immediately logged in. This was the original account, with the nickname and avatar being the default ones provided by the system. Fu Changyuan was too lazy to change them, since it was just a whim of his anyway.

The interface is simple yet not monotonous, easy to operate, and offers good benefits. Fu Changyuan examined the app with a scrutinizing gaze. A video automatically popped up on the homepage, and he casually swiped down to it.

Games, cute pets, emotions, entertainment marketing accounts, dance, singing...

Fu Changyuan was not very interested, but he still acknowledged the value created by the app.

Just as he was about to turn off his phone, he came across a video.

The sound of the burning fireplace, the crackling flames, the pattering rain, and the turning pages of a book in the video all stirred his voice.

"She entrusts me with the heavy responsibility of restoring our desolate home. She wants me to bring sunlight back into the dark rooms, set the clocks that have stopped ticking back to their original positions, reignite the cold fireplace, tear away the cobwebs, and exterminate all the pests. In short, she wants me to do a glorious job like a legendary young knight, and then marry the princess."

The woman's voice was clear and ethereal, like a feather gently brushing past his ear and then landing on his heart. Her voice was very healing, as if it had a kind of magic, making people subconsciously forget where they were or what they were doing, and only want to be immersed in her voice, only hearing what she was reading and forgetting everything else.

"Although I know all this, my love for her will not diminish in the slightest, nor will it make me restrain myself. On the contrary, I regard her even more as the most outstanding beauty in the world." The female voice continued reading.

When read by a woman, this passage takes on a gentler, purer, and more tender quality. It doesn't seem like the male protagonist's confession, but rather like her expressing her love to you in a subtle yet passionate way.

Fu Changyuan slowly closed his eyes and listened intently. It seemed as if a young girl was standing in front of him, boldly expressing her admiration for him. Her soft, low voice directly invaded his brain, giving him an indescribable sense of pleasure.

"In short, I cannot be separated from her. Whether in the past or now, she is deeply hidden in my heart and has become the life of my life." Fu Changyuan slowly spoke, his deep male voice overlapping with his gentle female voice. The two voices intertwined, like lovers whispering to each other.

This film, "Great Expectations," is also one of his favorite works, so much so that he can even recite it from memory. He has to believe that everything tonight is a wonderful coincidence given to him by God.

Fu Changyuan glanced at the blogger's name—a very strange name. He gave it a like, thought for a moment, then commented, followed and added it to his favorites. After that, he turned off the screen and continued listening. Gradually, his thoughts sank, and sleepiness began to creep in.

That female voice led him deeper into the area, and surprisingly, Fu Changyuan had fallen asleep.
