Chapter 4
But she had transmigrated, so she wouldn’t be much more surprised if there was an addition of a system. Su Tian had calmly accepted the setting that she was here “on assignment.”
The young woman’s nonchalant face finally twitched a little when she heard the system announcing the name “The Villainous Bosses Mentoring System” in the most solemn voice. Welp, that’s a bit of an embarrassing name...
The system had no idea that Su Tian was grumbling about the name in her mind and continued on with the introductory spiel, “.... Three years ago when the host’s body died, she had accepted the contract with this system. The system was to provide a new body for the host while the host, in return, will complete assignments as requested by the system. Here’s the details of your assignment...”
With another <DING—>, a large amount of information rushed into Su Tian’s brain.
She witnessed the legendary yet tragic life of someone. The protagonist of the story was the little boy with the bruised face that she met earlier today.
Xi Yun was born into a life of domestic violence. His father, Xi Zhiqiang, loved alcohol and gambling, and he would take it out on Xi Yun’s mother whenever he was drunk, or after he lost money, or when he was in a bad mood. His mother was fed up and ran away with someone else when Xi Yun was just five years old. Ever since then, the just five-year-old Xi Yun became his father’s new target.
As Xi Zhiqiang neglected him most of the time, Xi Yun had a very rough childhood. He rarely had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. His childhood had given him a strong desire for money so he learned to make money at a very young age.
He was just 12 years old when he made his first bucket of gold. On the other hand, it was also this money that completely turned the two of them against each other.
Xi Zhiqiang loved to gamble. Once he found out that Xi Yun had the knack to make money, he started asking him for money. When Xi Yun refused to give him money to support his gambling habit, Xi Zhiqiang went as far as breaking Xi Yun’s leg.
As he did not receive treatments in time, Xi Yun became crippled for life. Even when he because one of the wealthiest men in the world, he was still crippled and a laughing stock of others in front of and behind his back.
This incident had made him into a twisted and dark person. When his wealth had accumulated into a point that it was just an increasing number, he single-handedly plotted the melt down of world finance. All of this was done in the name of boredom.
The finance meltdown affected the economies worldwide. Many corporations went bankrupt; employees became unemployed. Those in despair committed suicide by jumping off buildings; societies plunged into chaos.
And, during the most chaotic time of all, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth at the top of building founded by him.
After Su Tian finished digesting the information, the system continued, “The host’s mission was to stop Xi Yun from becoming dark and twisted and stop the meltdown of the global economy. Give Xi Yun the “education of love”, deviate him from the path of a villainous boss and become an upstanding boss instead.”
Su Tian took a deep breath and asked, “And I am only responsible for Xi Yun?”
System: “.... No, any ‘bosses that are in the process of becoming villainous’ that you come across are your responsibilities.”
Su Tian’s mouth twitched and she said, “You have to understand that I am just one person and can’t be at multiple places at the same time.”
The system comforted her nicely and said, “There are a lot of bosses after all, and only a handful of them are villainous bosses. Don’t worry, there won’t be that many of them.”
Su Tian was finally able to let out a deep sigh. She didn’t want to have to open up a kindergarten one day.
She rolled over, closed her eyes, and said, “Alright. I got it. Goodnight!”
She still has to help Ms. He tomorrow in tidying up her shop, and also do some research on that Lui’s Walnut Cookies. She’d better catch some sleep.
System: “.......”
Were all hosts so nonchalant nowadays?
