Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Xu Hao turned his gaze to the interviewer, who was still slumped on the floor.

“You’ve got some nerve, daring to go against my orders…”

His tone was calm, devoid of any emotion.

But the interviewer’s face had already turned deathly pale, his heart sinking into despair.

Having worked in this company for so long, he knew just how terrifying this President Xu could be.

Xu Hao pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

—

Wang Yunpeng was busy working at his desk.

Ring, ring, ring…

His phone rang.

He frowned.

Hadn’t he told everyone not to disturb him during work hours?

But when he picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, his expression changed instantly.

It was Xu Hao.

Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button.

“President—”

Before he could even finish his greeting, Xu Hao cut him off.

“You have one minute. Get to the interview hall.”

Beep, beep, beep…

The call ended.

Wang Yunpeng sat there, stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality.

The interview hall?

Something must have gone wrong.

He didn’t waste another second.

Dropping everything, he bolted out of his office, running at full speed.

—

Meanwhile, in the interview hall—

“Is that really President Xu? His presence is overwhelming…”

Xu Fangfei’s eyes sparkled as she admired him.

He looked even younger than the photos suggested.

Li Yunshu, on the other hand, was confused.

She still had no idea who this man was.

Before a full minute had passed, Wang Yunpeng arrived, panting heavily.

When he saw Xu Hao’s expressionless face, his heart sank.

Forcing himself to steady his breath, he greeted him respectfully.

“President Xu.”

“Your interviewer abused his authority. I expect a good explanation.”

Cold sweat dripped down Wang Yunpeng’s forehead.

So that was it.

“It… it’s my fault, President Xu…”

He didn’t try to shift the blame.

Instead, he admitted his mistake outright.

Xu Hao had been particularly assertive lately—any excuses would be meaningless.

Maybe if he owned up to it, Xu Hao would go easy on him.

Perhaps he could turn a major issue into a minor one.

“There’s no need for more words.”

Before he could say another word, Xu Hao waved a hand, cutting him off.

“Starting today, you’re demoted to Deputy Director. I’ll review your performance in three months and decide whether to reinstate you.”

“Also, submit a full report. If this happens again, resign voluntarily.”

Wang Yunpeng froze.

A demotion?

Compared to outright dismissal, this was already a light punishment.

He immediately responded, “I accept the penalty.”

Unlike regular employees, he was a veteran of the company, known for his diligence.

This incident wasn’t entirely his fault, after all.

After composing himself, he turned to the interviewer, his voice icy cold.

“What are you standing around for? Get out of my sight!”

The interviewer shuddered, his entire body trembling.

Without another word, he staggered out of the interview hall.

Watching him leave, Wang Yunpeng was still seething.

He had been doing his job properly, yet now he had to take the fall.

If he could, he would tear that guy apart.

But for now, he had to clean up this mess.

He walked over to the interview table, preparing to conduct the interviews himself.

Before he could start, Xu Hao interrupted him with a wave.

“I’ll handle this. You can leave.”

“…Understood.”

As if granted amnesty, Wang Yunpeng bowed and left without hesitation.

—

Xu Hao picked up the two résumés and glanced over them.

On paper, both candidates looked equally outstanding.

But he didn’t even need to think twice—Li Yunshu’s achievements were genuine.

Xu Fangfei had probably exaggerated hers.

“You can leave. My company doesn’t need employees who rely on trickery.”

He set the résumés aside.

From the moment Xu Hao had entered the room, Xu Fangfei had been captivated by him.

This mature, dominant CEO type, exuding raw power—he was exactly her type.

Her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

But when she heard his words, she snapped back to reality.

Her expression changed slightly.

“President Xu, please give me a chance.”

“Do I need to say it twice?”

Xu Hao’s tone remained firm.

“…I understand.”

Xu Fangfei bit her lip, finally giving up.

Her shoulders slumped as she walked out, looking utterly defeated.

Xu Hao watched her retreating figure, his eyes flashing with thought.

Then, he glanced toward Bai Ling, his personal bodyguard.

Without a word, he gave her a subtle signal.

Bai Ling understood immediately.

She picked up her phone and made a call—to the elite enforcers.

Now, apart from a few elite bodyguards protecting his women and daughter, Bai Ling managed everything else for him.

In the interview hall, only Xu Hao and Li Yunshu remained.

The air grew still.

Li Yunshu felt nervous. She lowered her head, fingers twisting the hem of her clothes, not daring to meet Xu Hao’s gaze.

[Ding… Li Yunshu feels flustered. Emotion value +235…]

“Miss Li… welcome to the Xu Corporation family.”

Startled, Li Yunshu’s head snapped up.

She saw Xu Hao smiling at her, his expression warm and reassuring.

Her heart trembled.

Seeing how the HR director treated Xu Hao, she now understood his identity.

The President of Xu Corporation.

The self-made legend.

She hadn’t expected him to look so young.

And now, he had personally intervened to address the injustice she faced, resolving the issue for her and welcoming her with such kindness.

“Th… thank you.”

“I have high hopes for you. Work hard.”

Xu Hao encouraged her, then turned to leave.

After all, this young heroine would be working in his company.

There was plenty of time.

No need to scare off this little bunny just yet.

—

Bang, bang…

Not long after he reached his office, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Xia Qingge walked in, dressed in a professional suit.

She had recently been promoted to Finance Manager, now overseeing a large team.

A refined and intellectual aura had gradually formed around her.

“Uncle…”

“Qingge, what brings you here?”

Xia Qingge stepped closer, her eyes curving into a charming smile.

“I came to report on work.”

“Well, you’re just in time…”

—

Meanwhile—

Xu Fangfei left Xu Corporation and walked along the street.

Just as she was about to hail a taxi, a figure blocked her path.

“Miss Xu, our boss wants to meet you. Please wait a moment.”

Xu Fangfei took a step back, eyeing the man warily.

“Who’s your boss?”

“You just met him—the President of Xu Corporation, Xu Hao.”

Confusion flashed across her face.

Hadn’t President Xu just kicked her out?

Why did he want to see her now?

Though puzzled, she chose to stay.

—

After Xia Qingge finished her report, she left the office, her face slightly flushed.

Xu Hao then instructed Bai Ling to investigate the new heroine, Li Yunshu.

Just then, ding—a message popped up on his phone.

He opened it.

It was news that the protagonist, Zheng Feifan, had left Modu and headed to the imperial capital.

Recently, Zhao Media had been causing trouble for Zheng Feifan, even hiring assassins to take him out.

Frustrated, he decided to go to the capital himself to settle things with Zhao Media.

At the same time, he wanted to investigate the truth behind his father’s death.

Xu Hao tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

He needed to send an elite operative to keep an eye on him.

No need to have her tail Zheng Feifan directly—just gather intelligence in the shadows.

The moment Zheng Feifan left the imperial capital, she would take out Zhao Media’s CEO.

After all, Xu Hao had already dealt with his son.

Although there was no direct link to him, no one could predict how a grieving, maddened Zhao father might react.

If he targeted Xu Hao’s daughters, that would be a problem.

Zhao had to die—only then would Xu Hao feel at ease.

He sent out the order.

Just as he was about to put his phone down, he noticed a message about Yao Xinrui.

It had been a while since he last saw his friend, Chu Xiong.

Friendships needed maintenance.

He opened his contact list.

Finding Chu Xiong’s number, he dialed.

Beep, beep, beep…

The call didn’t ring for long before the other side picked up.

A bold, hearty voice came through.

“Well, this is a surprise! Brother Xu, the busy man himself, actually found time to call me.”

“Brother Chu, don’t tease me. What busy man? I’ve been idle lately…”

Xu Hao chuckled, exchanging pleasantries.

“But what about you? How many big deals have you closed lately?”

“Just small projects here and there. But I hear you’ve been making some serious moves. Your real estate business is thriving, and now it’s expanding even more. What made you decide to diversify?”

“You can’t put all your eggs in one basket. I’m preparing for the future. If the real estate market slows down, I need other industries to fall back on.”

Chu Xiong sighed in admiration.

Xu Hao truly lived up to his reputation as a self-made billionaire.

Decisive. Efficient. Ruthless.

After some polite exchanges, Xu Hao revealed his true intentions.

“Brother Chu, it’s been a while. When shall we have tea together? I always gain valuable insights from your perspectives.”

“Brother Xu, don’t flatter me. Your understanding of the business world is even sharper than mine,” Chu Xiong responded, returning the favor in their commercial banter.

As he thought about calling his son home that evening for a family dinner—with his ‘wife’ Yao Xinrui—an idea struck him.

“Actually, I’ve been wanting to discuss business over tea with you. How about this—you join us for dinner at my place tonight?”

“That might not be appropriate. It’s your family gathering, and I’d just be an outsider.”

“Nonsense! It’s just my son and a few people. Besides, you’re no outsider.”

“...Alright then.”

—

Inside a luxurious office, Chu Xiong hung up the call, deep in thought.

His relationship with Xu Hao was good, but it could be even closer.

Previously, Xu Hao’s real estate ventures had no connection with the Chu family’s business.

Now, with Xu Hao shifting industries—his first target being renewable energy—it aligned perfectly with his wife’s electronics company.

A stronger bond would facilitate better collaboration.

Even at the top of the business world in Modu, they needed to stick together to weather unexpected crises.

To strengthen this connection, Chu Xiong’s mind drifted toward Xu Hao’s seven daughters.

Marrying one off would be ideal.

Xu Hao: You wish!

Those daughters belonged to him—no one could take them away.

Each of Xu Hao’s seven daughters was stunning beyond words. They were more than suitable for his son.

But…

Thinking about his disappointing son, Chu Xiong shook his head.

His son wasn’t worthy.

Still, as a father, he had to at least bring it up. Whether it worked out depended on that useless boy’s luck.

Noon

Xu Fangfei had been sitting in a café all morning, led there by a woman.

Xu Hao never showed up.

Just as she suspected she had been played, the woman took her to a private dining room in a restaurant.

There, she finally saw Xu Hao.

Clack!

The door shut behind them.

Now, it was just the two of them.

Xu Hao looked at her and gestured.

“Come eat.”

Xu Fangfei stepped closer and saw a table filled with exquisite dishes.

Every dish was crafted to perfection, each clearly worth a fortune.

Even though she came from a wealthy family and had tasted plenty of delicacies, she had never seen food presented this impeccably.

Her nerves tightened.

She had no idea why Xu Hao had called her here.

Apprehensive, she sat at the table but didn’t dare touch the food.

“What are you waiting for? Eat,” Xu Hao said casually as he started eating himself.

After spending the whole morning at the café, Xu Fangfei was indeed hungry.

The fragrant aroma made her swallow involuntarily.

She hesitated before picking up her chopsticks and taking a bite of seafood.

Her eyes widened instantly.

The spicy and savory flavors burst across her tongue.

It was delicious.

Some of her anxiety eased, and she slowly took another bite.

Gradually, she stopped feeling as intimidated by Xu Hao.

Summoning her courage, she asked cautiously,

“President Xu, why did you want to see me?”

Xu Hao ignored her question and instead asked,

“Do you know Li Yunshu?”

“We’re classmates.”

“What’s your relationship like?”

Xu Fangfei hesitated.

She wasn’t sure what Xu Hao’s stance on Li Yunshu was.

“Just be honest. I want the truth. I’m not going to eat you,” Xu Hao said nonchalantly.

Since he put it that way, she relaxed a little.

She spilled everything about her conflicts with Li Yunshu.

After finishing, she carefully observed Xu Hao’s expression.

Seeing that his face remained calm, she finally let out a breath of relief.

“I have my eye on her. Do you have any ideas on how I can win her over?”

Initially, Xu Hao planned to use Xu Fangfei as a pawn—having her continue to make trouble for Li Yunshu so he could step in as the hero and gain her favor.

But after hearing their story, he changed his mind.

This ‘villainous supporting character’ knew the heroine well, so he decided to consult her for better strategies.

Xu Hao hadn’t met with Xu Fangfei in the morning because he was waiting for her background report.

The investigation showed—

Xu Fangfei was vain, opportunistic, and eager to secure a wealthy husband.

Girls like her were common in society.

Not everyone could be as virtuous as a heroine.

Overall, she at least had some self-respect.

Until she found the perfect rich and powerful man, she had avoided real relationships, despite having many suitors.

She treated them like fish in a pond—keeping them around but never committing.

Apart from her materialistic nature, her looks and figure were undeniable.

According to the system’s scoring metrics, she ranked around 90 points.

As the saying goes—

“Good girls shouldn’t be let down. Bad girls shouldn’t be wasted.”

If he wanted to capture Li Yunshu, Xu Fangfei would be a useful pawn.

Most importantly, she was easy to control.

She loved wealth?

He was worth billions—he could give her anything she desired.

She feared the strong and bullied the weak?

As long as she couldn’t find a better man than him, she wouldn’t betray him.

A little bit of intimidation would seal the deal—

Betray him, and her entire family would be ruined.

With that, she could be put to good use.

Xu Fangfei, however, took a moment to process his words.

“What does he mean by ‘having his eye on Li Yunshu’?”

“Does he admire her talent?”

“Or… is it what I think it is?”

“But that doesn’t make sense. Doesn’t Xu Hao already have a wife?”

“Isn’t he known as the most devoted man?”

Confused, she hesitated before murmuring,

“I don’t quite understand what you mean, President Xu…”

Since he planned to claim Li Yunshu, Xu Hao saw no need to hide it.

He smirked playfully and said,

“To put it simply—I want to sleep with her. And I want her heart and I’m asking you what you can do about it ......”
