This was the source of his prowess.

Without this Divine Skill protecting him, he figured he would’ve been drained into a shriveled husk by a pack of women long ago.

With that done, Xu Yun immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

After breakfast downstairs, he had nothing better to do, so he decided to drop by the company. He’d heard they’d hired some new people the last couple of days.

He didn’t manage the company, but he could certainly inspect it.

The moment he arrived, Xu Yun noticed all the new faces were women.

Ning Qian introduced him to two new employees. "This is our company’s President Xu."

"Hello, President Xu."

"President Xu, these are our new hires, Shiliu and Qixi."

"Hello. Don’t mind me, just carry on with your work."

After sending the two beauties on their way, Xu Yun asked Ning Qian, "How come all the new hires are women?"

"I don’t know."

Ning Qian smiled. "You’ll have to ask President Su about that."

"Also, their names... are you sure those are what normal people are called?"

"No, they’re stage names they picked for themselves."

Ning Qian explained, "President Su said that since we’re a media company, everyone should pick a stage name. It’ll be more convenient and easier to remember if we all use them at work.

She’s planning to start an account on a short-video platform showing our daily work life to attract followers."

"Uh, you don’t have one too, do you?"

"Of course I do."

Ning Qian grinned. "I’m Miki."

"..." Xu Yun was speechless.

’Things suddenly got so cosmopolitan.’

Arriving at his office, Xu Yun had barely sat down when Su Mu came in.

"Boss, what made you decide to visit the company?"

"I wanted to see how many new employees I have."

Xu Yun smiled. "I came to take a look, and suddenly I’ve got a Shiliu and a Qixi."

"You don’t like them? I think they sound nice."

Su Mu said, "Why don’t you pick one for yourself?"

"Forget it."

Xu Yun asked curiously, "How come you hired two women?"

"One, it’s more convenient. Two, it’s for your sake."

"For my sake?"

"That’s right."

Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "If we had a man in the company, spending all day with the women here, would you feel at ease? Wouldn’t you feel weird about it?"

"...Whoa." Now that Su Mu mentioned it, he realized it was true!

It wasn’t about whether something would happen or not, but it definitely wouldn’t feel right.

"You’re always so thoughtful."

"So, what brings you to the company today?"

"Nothing major, just a couple of things."

Xu Yun replied, "First, about Li Jinshu’s fitness center. If she needs money, go ahead and give her some from the company’s funds."

"You don’t have to tell me. I’ve already given her a sum."

Su Mu asked, "And the other thing?"

"I’m going back to my hometown tomorrow. The day after is my mom’s birthday, and I’m going back to celebrate with her."

Xu Yun added, "I’m not sure when I’ll be back, so just keep an eye on things for me here."

"You trust me that much?"

"Of course."

Xu Yun asked, a bit puzzled, "By the way, are you planning to fund and produce short-form dramas?"

"I am."

Su Mu said, "Short-form dramas are a huge market right now, but it’s all about short-term profit. You have to get in fast, make a quick buck, and get out."

"Do you have a script?"

"That is indeed a problem."

Su Mu said, "A good script is half the battle. I’m trying to buy one for a high price."

"I’ll take care of the script for you."

Xu Yun said with a smile, "As the boss, I can’t just sit back and do nothing."

"How rare. So you do remember you’re the boss."

Xu Yun asked, "Since the boss is being so diligent today, is there some kind of reward?"

"What do you want?"

"What do you think?"

Half an hour later, Xu Yun emerged from his office.

He had arrived full of anticipation and was leaving just as satisfied.

Exhausted, Su Mu was slumped over the desk. She looked at her torn lace bra, then simply finished taking it off and threw it away.

After resting for a moment, she began to clean up the mess inside.

Thankfully, Li Jinshu had used soundproofing materials during the renovation. Otherwise, the entire company probably would have heard the commotion just now.

’That damned Xu Yun. He has no regard for the time or place.’

The second floor of the company only had offices for Xu Yun, Su Mu, and her secretary, so no one noticed when Su Mu came out after cleaning up.

She returned to her own office, opened a drawer, took out a pill, and swallowed it with a glass of water.

To avoid harming her body, and given her "unscheduled exercise" with Xu Yun, she had switched from a one-time pill to a long-term medication.

As long as she took it on time, it would completely eliminate certain possibilities.

’On another note,’ she thought, ’should I remind Xu Yun to be more careful about this sort of thing when he’s with his other women?’

’He shouldn’t be so careless.’

’What if one of them gets ideas and tries to trap him into a shotgun wedding?’

’It’s not impossible.’

’Didn’t some rich heir just fall for that trick? Some woman had his baby!’

’Even though she still didn’t get to marry into the wealthy family like she wanted, that kind of public scandal is always ugly.’

After leaving Su Mu, Xu Yun was about to head home when he got a call from Yan Can.

He was asking to meet up for a meal.

Xu Yun knew what it was about, so he didn’t put it off and agreed immediately.

The location was another private club—the "Purple Cloud Pavilion."

Another place he’d never heard of.

When he arrived, he saw from the outside that it was more remote than the last club, but the decor was far superior.

It was a three-story building, all in a traditional Chinese style.

By the time Xu Yun arrived, he could already see many luxury cars parked outside.

The moment he stepped inside, a staff member stopped him and asked, "Sir, do you have a membership card?"

"No."

Xu Yun replied, "Yan Can invited me."
