Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system-Chapter 544: Leaving

Amorette scolded Ling Qingyu continuously for not treating Gu Yi as a serious guest. This child never bothered about other people’s superior identities. She had no idea how strong and well-connected her daughter had become. She merely thought Ling Qingyu’s business was still confined to the fashion and clothing industry.

After all, a ministerial-level boss only needed one word to abolish Ling Qingyu’s wealth. Amorette and Denise both thought so, underestimating the full extent of Ling Qingyu’s empire. But who was the most shocked? Zhao Xiurong never expected Ling Qingyu to have the energy or influence to invite a country minister to her home for dinner.

Of course, Ling Qingyu accepted her mother’s reprimand, but her confused expression only angered Amorette further. The more Amorette scolded, the more perplexed Ling Qingyu appeared, which only fueled her mother’s frustration. It wasn’t until Ling Qingyu used her final strategic weapon—acting coquettish and selling cuteness without even caring about any outsiders—that the situation de-escalated.

Outsiders? Ling Qingyu thought not. Everyone present was familiar and closely bonded. She didn’t need to be ashamed of being controlled by her mother in front of them. This was love—a genuine, selfless love that she was proud to display, no matter who was watching.

After the commotion died down under Ling Qingyu’s repeated promises to behave, everyone sat down and enjoyed dinner. However, Ling Qingyu had one lingering complaint: she couldn’t talk properly—aka…flirt—with Yang Qingyue since her mother-in-law was always watching her.

In fact, Ling Qingyu misunderstood Gu Yi, who only paid close attention to her after discovering how significant Amorette was in Ling Qingyu’s life. Gu Yi sighed in relief, realizing that the worst-case scenario she feared shouldn’t happen since Ling Qingyu seemed to have a deep respect for her mother.

If Ling Qingyu ever did attempt to do something outrageous, she would likely be reined in by her loved ones, particularly by her mother.

At the very least, as long as Gu Yi maintained a good relationship with Amorette, she believed she could keep Ling Qingyu from spiraling out of control. Of course, Gu Yi wasn’t naive enough to think that Ling Qingyu was a puppet she could easily manipulate.

But with her strategy and resourcefulness, combined with the influence of Yang Qingyue and Amorette, Gu Yi felt confident that she could keep Ling Qingyu in check.

If Ling Qingyu knew her mother-in-law’s concerns, she would have complained about how officials and government organizations always thought the worst of everyone. They always imagined a powerful person plotting to destroy the world or disrupt the social order, never seeing the good side.

In the Marvel Universe and DC Universe, wasn’t the situation the same? Heroes were constantly trying to prove they were not the enemy, despite their powers. If Ling Qingyu knew the extent of Gu Yi’s fears, her complaints might turn into a bitter reality check. But for now, she looked around at the friends and family gathered around her and felt gratified.

Ling Qingyu only hoped that life would go on peacefully, but she knew better. Peace could only be obtained by fighting, not by giving in. She had enemies, and many more would come if she decided to walk down the treacherous path she was on.

She couldn’t indulge in enjoyment and leisure for too long. She had to stay vigilant. The Qin family was eyeing her, and remnants of the Tiger gangs still held a grudge against her. Although they posed no immediate threat, she couldn’t afford to be complacent.

A smile crept upon her face as Ling Qingyu gazed steadily at everyone and raised her glass for a toast. The night passed in a blur of laughter, clinking glasses, and shared memories. The moon dove, and the sun rose.

As expected, Ling Qingyu couldn’t sleep with Yang Qingyue, who was dragged away by her mother in the name of a reunion. Helpless, the next morning, the two disappeared in the name of work again, leaving Ling Qingyu no chance to talk to Yang Qingyue.

She pursed her lips at her mother-in-law’s pettiness and shook her head. Why bother when she had already won Yang Qingyue’s heart? So stingy! After breakfast, Ling Qingyu met with Zhao Xiurong and requested her help with the newcomer, Tao Ling.

Ling Qingyu explained the stakes and the industries involved, leaving Zhao Xiurong wide-eyed in response. What on earth had Ling Qingyu been up to in such a short period? Zhao Xiurong felt like she could never truly see through her own boss. Every time she thought she understood Ling Qingyu, the latter would reveal another layer of complexity.

With Zhao Xiurong’s guarantee, Ling Qingyu solved her final worry. Tao Ling would learn a lot by accompanying Zhao Xiurong. Besides, Ling Qingyu had faith that nothing bad would happen to them. After all, her Spirit Fox guards weren’t just for show.

If Ling Qingyu declared herself the uncrowned king of Province N, no one would dare challenge her. Of course, this was assuming Ling Qingyu revealed all her wealth and connections, which she preferred to keep hidden for now.

Their conversation ended as Zhao Xiurong had to leave for work, while the unscrupulous shopkeeper received an important message from Athena to head to the secret realm. Apparently, Tang Ziyi had something urgent to discuss as well. No need to guess, Ling Qingyu knew the reason likely involved Miss System’s mysterious hand in their affairs.

When Ling Qingyu met Tang Ziyi, who was deep in thought, she was suddenly hurled up by the collar, her feet dangling above the ground. It was a funny picture: the ruthless CEO swinging her calves in disgust while hanging in the air.

As for resisting, it was pointless. Who knew what moves Tang Ziyi might use to "abuse" her next? Ling Qingyu accepted the humiliation, swearing to repay it tenfold later.

"Qingyu, are you serious? The dream I had—was that your doing?" Tang Ziyi demanded, her voice tense.

"Not mine directly, but you know whose hands are behind it," Ling Qingyu replied calmly.

"Damn, I envy you sometimes for your luck." Tang Ziyi shook her head in disbelief. "You can achieve in a dream what I’ve strived for decades to hone in my skills. Honestly, thanks to you, I’ve perfected my skydiving."

"Envy me? Are you sure?" Ling Qingyu raised an eyebrow. "Imagine yourself training for 30 years, literally."

Tang Ziyi gave her a sympathetic glance. She understood the suffering Ling Qingyu must have endured under Miss System’s hand, but she still thought Ling Qingyu had gained more than she had lost. No pain, no gain.

"Does your skill transfer include all our operators?" Tang Ziyi asked, getting to the main point.

"Yes," Ling Qingyu nodded. "They’ll share parts of my experience and improve their skills. The consciousness level has sunk to the bones, so...everything will be instinctive level, as for how, we can only test it out."

"Indeed, we can only experiment with the results but I can already testify that I have improved a lot and I can sense it. By the way, now that I noticed, you say it was only part of your experience?"

"Yep, 2 years of mine. Compared to my 30 years, you are nothing." Ling Qingyu puffed her chest.

"Damn, 2 years seem like more than a dozen for me...Then you should be happy to suffer this ordeal because, congratulations, you’ve just earned us hundreds of special forces operators, thanks to that dream."

’Should she say thank you and bow?’ Ling Qingyu’s lips twitched, but she said nothing. Tang Ziyi, on the other hand, grew more excited as she envisioned how much easier the upcoming mission would be. Even though her guards trained continuously, experience couldn’t be replaced with more training.

Ling Qingyu’s input had helped them internalize the process subconsciously, as if they had jumped from planes several times already.

"Right," Tang Ziyi continued, "you’re coming with us to Province T. We’ll be doing some real skydiving and parachuting. Minister Gu has given us the green light, and our flight is already chartered."

"Huh, me? Why? I don’t need it," Ling Qingyu replied, puzzled.

Tang Ziyi held her breath, resisting the urge to smack Ling Qingyu. Was that a sentence supposed to come out? Patience. Patience.

If not for Ling Qingyu’s additional perk, the coming mission would be a little dangerous. Now that someone had lessened the risk to nearly nothing, one should be grateful, Tang Ziyi reminded herself. But she couldn’t resist the urge to shake Ling Qingyu by the shoulders, getting revenge for all the stress.

"Just follow us and familiarize yourself with the team, or don’t even think about participating," Tang Ziyi said, her voice firm.

Her words made sense, and Ling Qingyu could only nod under Tang Ziyi’s deadly gaze. An hour later, Ling Qingyu, Tang Ziyi, and a group of girls departed in a mighty formation. Rows of Alphards lined up as they made their way to the airport.

Only Ling Qingyu had a bitter face. But for the sake of a great reward, she tolerated it.
