The next day was the day Yu Han was about to take office.
Zheng Sinian had prepared the address and information about the company the previous night and sent it to Yu Han via email.
But by the time Yu Han saw it, it was already the next day.
He casually skimmed through the email and then set his phone aside.
——He was going out for his morning exercise.
As someone who held himself to high standards, a Long AoTian would not allow his physical condition to fall behind.
So, when Yu Han got up early and ran around the large estate of the Xie residence, an hour had passed by the time he returned.
Yu Han walked in and directly bumped into Xie Sixing.
Xie Sixing had obviously just finished his workout as well. His black sportswear clung to his muscular frame, revealing an impressive physique. The tips of his black hair were slightly damp, resting on his brow. His dark eyes gleamed with an unusually aggressive spark.
He met Yu Han’s surprised eyes.
Yu Han widened his eyes, “You went out to exercise too? How come I didn’t see you??”
He had run around the entire estate and, aside from some staff members cleaning and watering plants, had not seen Xie Sixing at all.
This Xie Sixing, could he really be a formidable opponent skilled in both training and concealment?!
It seemed he needed to be more cautious.
The corners of Xie Sixing’s mouth lifted slightly before quickly returning to normal. He said casually, “Didn’t Uncle Wang tell you? There’s a gym in the house.”
Yu Han: “……?”
Yu Han: “Fuck.”
“Sorry, I should have let you know earlier.” Xie Sixing’s face showed no hint of apology, yet his words were full of sincerity.
Yu Han gritted his teeth and said, “Hah, I just prefer breathing the fresh air outside.”
Xie Sixing nodded, “I see, then it seems you don’t need the gym access.”
With that, Xie Sixing acted as if he hadn’t noticed Yu Han’s mixed look of shock and anger and walked past him as if nothing had happened.
After going upstairs for a shower and changing his clothes, Xie Sixing came back downstairs only to find that Yu Han had already left.
Uncle Wang saw Xie Sixing come down and, after hesitating for a long time, finally spoke with a strange expression, “Young master, Madam asked me to deliver a message to you before he left…”
Xie Sixing lowered his eyes to adjust his cuffs and remained expressionless upon hearing this, “Go ahead.”
“Young master, perhaps it’s better if you don’t hear it…” Uncle Wang continued to hesitate.
Xie Sixing raised his eyes. Under his stern gaze, Uncle Wang made up his mind. He closed his eyes, took out his phone, and played a recorded message.
A young, rebellious voice, intense like a raging fire, came out of the phone with the unique quality of an electric recording:
“Xie Sixing, I, Yu Han, will single-handedly sweep across the Nine Realms. Just you wait!”
Xie Sixing: “……”
Uncle Wang: “That’s it…”
He didn’t understand why Madam suddenly wanted to say these words to the young master. It didn’t sound like anything good…

Fu Xian, who had already received orders, was waiting for him at the entrance.
Fu Xian was the person Xie Sixing had mentioned who was assigned to help Yu Han familiarize himself with the company. He was also a classmate of Xie Sixing when he was in college.
Fu Xian had heard a bit about this young master from the Lin family who had been raised in the countryside.
It was said that because this young master had spent the first ten years in the countryside, he didn’t study well and had mediocre abilities. Initially, he couldn’t even speak standard Mandarin properly, so he wasn’t valued by the Lin family.
Because he had once drunkenly appeared naked in Xie Sixing’s room, he was ridiculed both openly and secretly and insulted in harsh terms. Many people outside spread rumors that this young master was an absolute country bumpkin who would pounce on any handsome man he saw.
When he heard that Xie Sixing wanted to assign him an important task, Fu Xian was secretly excited all night, only to find out he was to be Lin Han’s secretary.
Thinking about becoming Lin Han’s subordinate, Fu Xian couldn’t help but worry about his future.
After some time, a luxury car stopped in front of the company.
No matter how reluctant he was, Fu Xian still straightened his back and put on a businesslike expression, ready to greet him.
The car door opened. A young man dressed in ordinary clothes but with an extraordinary aura stepped out, placing one leg firmly on the ground.
Although the young man wore the simplest white shirt, his neat cuffs, the topmost button fastened, and his upright posture inexplicably gave off a powerful presence.
Being looked at by his amber eyes sent an inexplicable chill down one’s spine.
Fu Xian even had the illusion that this person before him and Xie Sixing were of the same kind.
“Are you Fu Xian?” The young man walked up to him in a few steps, his indifferent gaze seemingly taking in every detail of him.
In front of him, Fu Xian’s aura instantly diminished. “Yes, President Lin.”
“My surname is Yu.”
Fu Xian was a bit surprised but quickly and calmly adapted. “President Yu.”
Yu Han nodded. “Show me around the company.”
He couldn’t wait to inspect his new territory.
Fu Xian promptly complied.
Over the next period, Fu Xian led Yu Han on a tour around the entire company.
As Xie Sixing had said, the company entrusted to Yu Han wasn’t a major one. It was only responsible for a small part of the Xie family’s assets, primarily dealing in various alcoholic products. It reportedly included four or five wineries below.
More importantly, the company’s previous owner was Xie Sixing’s uncle, Ji Wenfeng.
Yu Han had already reviewed the company’s information while in the car and had memorized it.
The company, named “Shengjing,” had experienced a continuous decline in annual revenue before being acquired by Xie Sixing five years ago. It hadn’t even secured a single million-dollar deal. There was also ample data indicating that, for a period, they struggled to pay their employees’ salaries.
This state of affairs finally came to an end under Xie Sixing’s hands.
After being acquired by Xie Sixing, the company’s performance, although still far behind other Xie enterprises, improved by leaps and bounds compared to its previous state.
This improvement undoubtedly involved Xie Sixing’s efforts. Although the traces weren’t obvious, it made Yu Han more aware of Xie Sixing’s capabilities.
However, for some reason, Xie Sixing hadn’t managed Shengjing since then and let it develop on its own.
The news of Yu Han taking over the company had long spread among the employees, along with his past deeds, which undoubtedly became a bomb thrown into calm waters.
Wherever he passed, employees whispered among themselves.
“So this is the young master from the Lin family? He doesn’t look as rustic as the rumors say.”
“He’s probably just putting on an act.”
“Just now, Secretary Fu called him President Yu. Why isn’t his surname Lin?”
“I heard he doesn’t have a good relationship with the Lin family…”
“Don’t be fooled by his serious appearance. He might be quite promiscuous in private. I heard he specifically targets good-looking men…”
The employee spreading gossip suddenly felt a cold gaze on him.
He turned back tremblingly and saw that Yu Han, who had already walked some distance away, had turned his head and was looking at him.
No way, does this young master have super hearing? Can he hear from that far away?
The employee started imagining a hundred reasons for his resignation, but Yu Han merely glanced at him before looking away.
After that imposing gaze moved away, the employee felt as if he had broken out in a cold sweat.
“President Yu, what are you looking at?” Fu Xian asked when he saw Yu Han pause.
“Nothing.”
Yu Han turned his head and continued walking.
The system curiously asked:【Host, aren’t you angry?】
The system had been with Yu Han for a while and thought that, with the temper of its Long AoTian host, he wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking about him like that.
Yu Han replied, “Why should I be angry? They don’t know the real me yet. Once I show my abilities, they will naturally submit to me.”
He continued lightly, “If I got angry at every doubter, I’d have exhausted myself a long time ago.”
The system suddenly understood why Yu Han could become a top employee at the Book Transmigration Bureau.
Yu Han hadn’t spoken a word the entire time, so Fu Xian couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Considering the task Xie Sixing had given him, Fu Xian felt he needed to be more proactive.
After touring the not-particularly-large company, they returned to Yu Han’s office.
At the end of the office was a large floor-to-ceiling window. Standing by it, one could see the towering buildings outside and the busy traffic below.
Yu Han was very satisfied with this location. After standing there and staring for a while, he walked towards his desk.
But he didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he thoughfully looked at the blank wall behind his desk.
Fu Xian followed his gaze and quickly understood. “President Yu, do you want to hang something on the wall?”
Yu Han nodded. “Go get me some ink, paper, and brushes.”
Fu Xian was a bit surprised. It seemed he was going to write something himself.
“Okay.”
After agreeing, Fu Xian immediately went to make the preparations.
After Fu Xian left, Yu Han was alone in the office. He glanced over the few company-related documents and reports that Fu Xian had prepared on the desk.
By the time he had finished skimming through them, Fu Xian had returned.
The materials prepared by the person Xie Sixing assigned were indeed comprehensive, especially the two-meter-long Xuan paper.
Yu Han was very satisfied and asked Fu Xian, “Do you know how to grind ink?”
Fu Xian quickly replied, “I know a bit.”
Without waiting for further instructions, he began grinding the ink himself.
Yu Han picked up the brush, dipped the tip in ink, and casually wrote two characters on the paper.
Fu Xian glanced over inadvertently and his eyes widened in amazement.
Yu Han had written his own name.
The characters for “Yu Han” were written with vigorous and powerful strokes, combining both square and rounded structures with elegance. The brushstrokes were sharp where needed and restrained where appropriate, exuding both decisiveness and subtlety.
The style was bold and free-spirited, neither dry nor overly moist.
Fu Xian’s great-grandfather loved calligraphy and was once a famous calligrapher. His family still had his great-grandfather’s calligraphy works, which many people still sought to purchase at high prices.
Having been exposed to calligraphy since childhood, Fu Xian had his own insights into it. He thought Yu Han’s writing was truly excellent, to the point that it could be auctioned off.
But weren’t the rumors that the young master of the Lin family had grown up in the countryside with limited education? How could he write so well?
Such skill in calligraphy likely took decades to develop, didn’t it?
Before Fu Xian could ponder further, Yu Han finished his practice strokes, unfurled the Xuan paper, and prepared to begin writing in earnest.
Fu Xian quickly refocused, eager to see what Yu Han would write.
With calligraphy that good, he must be about to write some classical poetry, Fu Xian thought.
As he was thinking this, he saw Yu Han’s expression turn serious. With a grand, sweeping motion, Yu Han wrote a line of forceful characters on the Xuan paper:
——”Those who submit to me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish!”
Yu Han put down the brush. “Frame it and hang it on the wall.”
Fu Xian: “…………”
The author has something to say:
Fu Xian: Classical poetry ✘
Yu Han: “Those who submit to me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish” ✔
