Song Yi drove and arrived at the company in half an hour. The receptionist was a little surprised to see Song Yi because they hadn't seen him for half a month.

The receptionist immediately stood up and bowed to Song Yi.

Song Yi nodded and walked towards his office. His assistant immediately went up to him and said, "President, you're finally back."

Since Song Yi left, the assistant's workload has visibly increased.

Song Yi: "During the two weeks I was away, did anything happen?"

Assistant: "The company is operating normally, but there are some documents that require your personal signature."

The assistant was about to say something else, but the secretary answered a phone call and immediately said:

"President, Mr. Chu and his family have arrived."

Song Yi raised an eyebrow. He'd only just joined the company, and this family was already so eager to come?

Song Yi: "Let them wait in the conference room."

Song Yi's father died in a car accident when he was young. He grew up with his grandfather. After his grandfather passed away, all the burdens of the Song family fell on Song Yi's shoulders.

Song Yi's grandfather had arranged a marriage for him when he was a child, with Chu Xue, a young lady from the Chu family.

When the Chu family went bankrupt ten years ago, everyone avoided them. At that time, in order to support the Chu family, Song Yi's grandfather specially arranged for Song Yi to get engaged to Chu You, to back up the Chu family, and even lent money to help the Chu family make a comeback.

However, ever since the Chu family prospered, they have looked down on the Song family. Especially after Grandpa Song died, Song Yi was all alone, and they wanted to break off the engagement so that Chu You could marry a richer young master and help their family business reach new heights.

Chu Xiong had arranged for someone to be stationed downstairs at Song Yi's company building, and they were notified as soon as Song Yi arrived.

Song Yi hasn't shown up for half a month, but he finally came to the company today. This time, we must make him cancel the engagement.

Chu Xue was a little worried: "Dad, what if Song Yi doesn't agree?"

Chu Xiong said, "What is there for him to disagree with now? I have already obtained his hospital diagnosis certificate. He has at most a month to live. You are a young and beautiful woman. President Lu is about the same age as you. If you become President Lu's wife, our Chu family will soar to new heights."

"We absolutely cannot let you gain a reputation for having your fiancé die before you even get married, and we certainly cannot let you become a widow. That would be unlucky, and you wouldn't be allowed to enter the Lu family."

Chu Xue didn't speak. She had been studying abroad and had no feelings for Song Yi. The two had only met a few times. When she saw Song Yi, she was attracted to him. He was handsome, came from a good family, and was engaged to her.

But things are different now. He is going to die, and Lu Xiao's family is a prominent family in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Lu Xiao himself is also very handsome. If she could become Mrs. Lu, she would definitely be more prestigious than Mrs. Song.

Thinking about this, Chu Xue became even more determined to break off her engagement with Song Yi.

When they arrived at the conference room, Song Yi was already waiting inside.

After Chu Xiong went in, he sat down opposite Song Yi in a very familiar manner. Seeing his arrogant attitude, Song Yi looked down and sneered.

In the past, Chu Xiong was Song Yi's elder, so when he arrived, Song Yi would definitely go to greet him personally and take the initiative to say hello.

But that was when his grandfather was still alive. In fact, Song Yi knew the Chu family better than his grandfather did.

So Song Yi didn't waste any time on him and didn't even bother to greet him.

Chu Xiong glanced at Song Yi; he looked alright. Could it be a deathbed resurgence? Never mind, he was determined to cancel the engagement today.

"Song Yi, I've come today to annul Xue'er's engagement."

Chu Xiong thought Song Yi would disagree, so he thought he would try to persuade her by appealing to her emotions first. If Song Yi still disagreed, he would then threaten her.

Unexpectedly, Song Yi readily replied, "Okay, I'll have the Publicity Department issue a statement announcing the annulment of the engagement in ten minutes."

Chu Xiong was taken aback, not expecting Song Yi to be so agreeable. Chu Xue was also surprised, wondering if he would even try to persuade her to stay.

Chu Xue: "You, you, what did I do that you looked down on?"

Song Yi's straightforward attitude humiliated Chu Xue's self-esteem.

Song Yi: ? ? ? Are you alright, sis? You're not happy about being stopped from climbing the social ladder?

Song Yi was too lazy to explain to the two of them: "Is there anything else? If not, I have to go to a meeting."

Chu Xiong suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. He had made many preparations because he was afraid that Song Yi would not agree, but now it seemed that his preparations were too unnecessary.

Chu Xiong stood up somewhat awkwardly: "Song Yi, although your engagement with Xue'er has been dissolved, your grandfather and I have been friends for many years, and he has helped me a lot. If there is any business cooperation needed, I will give you the opportunity."

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned his grandfather. Once his grandfather was mentioned, Song Yi couldn't help but retort, "I didn't want to argue with you because you're so old, but don't you know how much my grandfather helped you back then?"

"Even if you don't remember, I still remember this comparison."

“When you went bankrupt, no one cared about you. The start-up capital for your company was lent to you by my grandfather. We didn’t interfere with the 3,000 million yuan start-up capital. You didn’t ask for a penny of interest, and you didn’t even need to write an IOU.”

"My grandfather introduced you to potential partners and even arranged for me to get engaged to Chu Xue to support you. Now that your Chu family has prospered, you look down on the Song family's businesses. You're clearly playing the 'use and discard' game, yet you still want a good reputation?"

"To act like a prostitute? / And then pretend to be virtuous, huh?"

"Since I've already ended the engagement amicably, you should just leave. Why do you have to act like a big shot here, saying you're giving me a chance for business cooperation? Do I need you to give me a chance?"

Song Yi's words were utterly merciless, tearing away Chu Xiong's last shred of dignity. Chu Xiong was so angry that he was panting heavily, and his hand pointing at Song Yi was trembling.

Chu Xueming protested, "Song Yi, you've gone too far. My father is your elder."

Song Yi gave Chu Xue a cold look: "Like father, like daughter. You are just as heartless as your father. My grandfather paid for your three years of tuition while you were studying abroad. Now that we have broken off the engagement, we need to settle this score. It's a total of five million. I will have someone send you the bill. I hope you can pay it back within a day. If you can't, don't blame me for making this public."

This time, it wasn't just Chu Xiong who was angry; Chu Xue was too. It was just 500 million, wasn't it? She hadn't expected Song Yi to be so petty. It seemed that her decision to annul the engagement was the right one.

"Hmph, it's just five million. Our Chu family isn't short of that kind of money. I'll transfer it to you right now."

Chu Xue herself didn't have that much money. She turned to look at her father, Chu Xiong, who looked unwilling. Although five million wasn't a lot, they could refuse to give him the money.

But since my daughter said so, I'll give it to her. When she becomes Mrs. Lu in the future, she'll have dozens of 500 million yuan.

Song Yi was too lazy to pay them any attention. Once the 500 million yuan arrived and the statement announcing the annulment of the engagement was released, who the hell cared about the fate of the Chu family?

After Chu Xiong and his daughter left, Song Yi's assistant shook his head as he watched their retreating figures, thinking, "They're such ungrateful wretches."

"Mr. Song, shall we continue our business with the Chu family?"

The assistant has been by Song Yi's side for 10 years. Others may not know, but he knows perfectly well that the Song Group was left to him by his grandfather, but Song Yi also has his own company.

Song Yi founded KD Finance six years ago, and in just six years it has grown into one of the top five companies in China. Because he has professional agents managing it and because of his health issues, Song Yi rarely appears in public, and no one knows that this is his company.

"Of course we won't cooperate."

The assistant understood and immediately went down to cancel the project to cooperate with the Chu family and terminate the contract for the existing project.

After signing a contract with the horror game, his life became the game's. The game repaired his body through its system, and he is now free from the pain caused by cancer.

Song Yi was full of enthusiasm for his work, working overtime to finish the work that had accumulated over a long period of time.

It wasn't until the timer on his arm showed one hour left that Song Yi realized he had been working for so long.

Song Yi drove home and immediately entered the game lobby upon arrival.

The game lobby was packed with people, and Song Yi's avatar was still on the newcomer list. His appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Lu Xiao and his team were waiting to enter the game on the second floor of the coffee shop. As soon as Song Yi entered the game, he landed right downstairs in the coffee shop, and Lu Xiao glanced at him a few more times.

Teammate Xiaobai looked in the direction Lu Xiao was looking and said, "Hey, isn't this the game's newest star? Boss, why don't we recruit him to our team?"

Lu Xiao shook his head. Although he hadn't asked, he had a feeling that Song Yi wouldn't join any team.

Song Yi stood below, somewhat excited, unsure of the content or setting of the new game.

Three seconds left in the countdown: 3, 2, 1, a beep sounds, and the player enters the game.

With a blink of an eye, Song Yi found himself cornered against the wall by two seventeen or eighteen-year-old blond-haired boys, dressed in a suit.
