The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the woman leaning on the desk. She sat up, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and frowned. As soon as her hand touched the dedicated phone, she remembered that Secretary Xiao Zhai hadn't arrived yet. When it was time to go to work, Ling Jue's mood worsened again.

Half a month ago, Ling Jue was admitted to the best private hospital due to a sudden illness, but no matter how good the medical skills were, she could not save her life. When Ling Jue was dying, she was bound to a system claiming to be 0258, and the other party said it could. To resurrect Ling Jue and send her back to her original world, Ling Jue needs to complete a series of tasks and collect points.

"What are the specific points?"

"9999"

"How many points can I get for each completed task?"

0258 hesitated and refused to answer.

"If you don't tell me, then I think our conversation will be meaningless. Since we can't even be honest with you, then we'd better not cooperate."

0258 was so anxious by Ling Jue's words that he almost cried. It finally gave Ling Jue an answer, "One point, one point for each task completed." This means that Ling Jue has to complete 9999 tasks, which is a bit The gain outweighs the loss, so no wonder 0258 was unwilling to tell Ling Jue, but to 0258's surprise, the woman in front of him actually agreed.

"I can cooperate with you, so what is our mission goal?"

0258 explained to Ling Jue the goal of each mission, which is to defeat the villains in various novel worlds and not let them destroy the world.

"There are so many people in each world, how can you guarantee that I will definitely meet the villain?"

"Don't worry about this. I will place you on characters who are closely related to the villain in the novel world. These characters generally have no sense of existence in the original plot."

"I know, let's get started."

A white light flashed across Ling Jue's body, and she felt like she was soaking in warm hot water. She felt sleepy for a while. When she woke up, she found herself lying in a luxurious bathtub, with the crystal chandelier above her head blinding her. eyes.

"You have entered the mission world. In order to preserve my energy, I will fall into a dormant state in this world. Please explore slowly by yourself. The villain's name is Ling Zirui, and he is the illegitimate son of Ling Chen, the head of the Ling family. Wait for you. See you after completing the mission." 0258 walked away irresponsibly, leaving Ling Jue alone to consume the situation in front of her. Fortunately, she had the memory of the original owner in this body she traveled through. Ling Jue closed her eyes. Carefully recall the life of the original owner. The original owner, Ling Jue, was the adopted daughter of Ling Chen, the head of the Ling family. When she was fourteen years old, Ling Chen brought back a twelve-year-old boy and said that he was his own flesh and blood. Ling Jue calmly accepted that she suddenly had many children. Of course, this was not the first time that this happened. Before Ling Zirui, two boys had broken into the Ling family in this way. But compared to the existence of the other two boys, Ling Zirui's presence was negligible. He was like thin air, making it difficult for people to notice. And for many years after that, until now, the twenty-four-year-old Ling Jue didn't quite remember the appearance of the boy Ling Chen brought back.

The Ling Jue of this world and Ling Jue's original temperaments are very similar. They are both full-fledged workaholics. The original Ling Jue had to work hard because of poor family conditions, but the Ling Jue of this world is more like a workaholic. Prove yourself to live up to Ling Chen's cultivation of yourself.

Back to the present time, Ling Jue worked overtime all night long. She went to grind a cup of coffee. After drinking it, she returned to the apartment where she now lived to change clothes. She had an important meeting this morning and had to meet with her business partners at noon. For dinner, I have to go to the cosmetics factory in the afternoon, and in the evening I have to go back to Ling's house for the monthly family dinner. Ling Jue's time was fully booked, but she seemed to be used to it, and she didn't show any signs of fatigue. She left the apartment and returned to the company. The distance between the company and the apartment was less than ten minutes' walk. This was all for Ling Jue's work needs.

The morning meeting roughly summarized the work of the first half of the month and the work arrangements for the second half of the month. After the meeting, Ling Jue took a taxi to the restaurant he had made an appointment with his business partner Elena. Elena is an internationally renowned A designer who has won numerous awards, Ling Jue was lucky enough to invite Elena to design a perfume bottle for her brand Jiaoyang. Their first collaboration was a great success. Afterwards, Elena's designs pushed Jiaoyang to greater heights. High stage.

Ling Jue had to admit that Ling Jue's success in this world was inseparable from her status as Ling Chen's adopted daughter. Ling Chen relied on real estate to make his fortune. Before the real estate growth slowed down, Ling Chen converted most of his real estate into department stores. , the annual rent brought countless wealth to the Ling family. At first, Ling Jue was in charge of the luxury goods counter in the mall, and met many leaders in the cosmetics industry. Later, he started his own business and established the brand Jiaoyang. In the high-end shopping malls under the Ling family's name, there are Jiaoyang counters, and they are located in a position that can be seen as soon as you enter the door. The decoration is also top-notch decoration specially designed by someone. These are all inseparable from Ling Chen's help, so in this world Ling Jue trusted Ling Chen and was grateful to Ling Chen, even though he was a somewhat absurd and indulgent man.

"Father." Ling Jue lowered his head and said hello to the man sitting on the office chair in the study. In the other man's arms was a Persian cat. One eye was red and the other was translucent blue. His face was wide and round, his fur was white, and he was worth a lot of money. Ling Jue looked at this Persian cat and remembered that it was the posthumous son of Ling Chen’s ex-wife’s pet. Ling Chen, a romantic man, once had a true love. She is a brown-haired, blue-eyed girl named Irina, and the reason why Ling Jue was adopted as an adopted daughter by Ling Chen was inseparable from Irina. Irina is a sickly beauty who looks a little melancholy, but she is quite fond of Ling Chen. Legend has it that Ling Chen was willing to give up all his family property for Irina, but in the end it was nothing, and Irina's treatment of Ling Chen His attitude was neither salty nor bland, and he didn't seem to find this man very attractive. Ling Chen is now nearly fifty years old, but he has a good figure, retains the mature charm of a middle-aged man, and his image and temperament are very good. He has already planned to sit in the rear and basically hand over all his rights to Apart from the adopted daughter and the illegitimate children, Ling Chen’s illegitimate children are not only the villain Ling Zirui, but the adopted daughter is the only one, and because of Irina, Ling Jue’s status is much higher than these illegitimate children.

Ling Jue was often targeted by other adopted sons because of his special identity, but in the end, he managed to survive the danger safely and also increased his abilities. It can be said that Ling Jue grew up on the edge of a knife. Ling Chen actually doesn't care how far Ling Jue can grow. If she is good enough, then he will willingly hand over the business empire he built to Ling Jue, who is not related by blood, but even if Ling Jue is not good at management. For a woman, he will also find a satisfactory husband for her who will not bully her. Obviously Ling Chen did not expect that Ling Jue would take the first path, but since Ling Jue has produced results today, he is willing to favor Ling Jue more. The two had a brief chat in the study, mostly about work, and then Ling Jue left the study, closing the door behind him.

As soon as he left the study, he saw Ling Ziheng, the oldest of Ling Chen's illegitimate children, walking over. He was tall and had a fierce appearance. Ling Jue stood in front of him as if he was a man. Like a little bird, and Ling Ziheng did treat Ling Jue like a little bird. Ling Jue remembered that when she was studying, Ling Ziheng often led others to bully her, but it was all in the open. She could deal with it casually, and she could still see Ling Ziheng's deflated face.

"Isn't this a busy person in our family? Why are you willing to come back today?" Ling Jue remembered that she did not attend the last two family gatherings. The reason was that she attended a fashion party for ladies in Paris last month. Ling Jue Jue Jiaoyang's positioning is to put it on the international stage, rather than simply selling it domestically. Last month, she went to London again for the same reason, but this time she introduced herself in person in a London shopping mall. Products, skin care and samples were given to every woman who entered the counter. Of course, the effect this time was outstanding. Ling Jue personally came to the door afterwards and brought gifts for Ling Chen, but Ling Ziheng did not know these things. .

"You have time to worry about my affairs, why not go and see how the people in your company do things." Ling Chen entrusted the company's property-related section to Ling Ziheng, because Ling Ziheng has a very capable secretary , so the property company has also been making steady progress over the years, but Ling Ziheng, who has been obedient recently, wants to show off his talents as if he has been given a shot of chicken blood. He has some intentions of hedging against Secretary Zhou. Ling Jue knows that once Ling Ziheng fires Secretary Zhou, That must have brought a devastating blow to Ling Ziheng. Obviously, it was impossible to predict this with Ling Ziheng's IQ.

Ling Ziheng faced Ling Jue with an angry face again. He had never had a good impression of his adopted sister. His mother could not enter the Ling family's gate, and his father was also very indifferent to him, but he had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden since he was a child. Living in this home, he heard how many times people called him a bastard behind his back since he was a child, but they looked at him coldly, but pursued Ling Jue like a princess. They were all his father's children, no matter what. , Ling Jue is not considered her father’s child, why is her treatment always so unfair? Ling Jue stared at Ling Ziheng's angry eyes. She was not afraid of this bluffing man at all. How could he dare to attack Ling Chen's study door? Sure enough, Ling Ziheng stood here for a while and left the corridor without looking back. Ling Jue turned around and was about to go down the stairs on the other side, but saw Ling Zidong at the corner of the stairs, looking at Ling Jue with his half-smiling eyes.

Ling Zidong was the second illegitimate child brought home by Ling Chen. From the first time he met him, Ling Jue didn't like this boy very much. He was like a snake, with scary sticky eyes, and he graduated from high school. During that time, he also confessed his love to Ling Jue, but of course Ling Jue refused because of her identity, and she didn't like Ling Zidong either. Even in the school, Ling Ziheng and Ling Zidong were both recognized as school leaders. One was masculine and strong, the other was elegant and noble. At that time, Ling Jue only found them both annoying. She kept retreating and accidentally fell down the stairs. She fell off the bed, and her originally planned graduation trip was ruined because of her injury. Ling Jue did not tell this matter. First of all, she felt it was outrageous, let alone other people in the Ling family. Moreover, once she said it, Ling Zidong would leave the Ling family. Ling Jue had heard that Ling Zidong was in Before coming to the Ling family, he and his mother had been living in the countryside. Because their mother was pregnant out of wedlock, most people in their village were hostile to their mother and son. Later, Ling Zidong came to the Ling family, and his mother was also sent to the city. Here, the new environment gave his mother a new life, and Ling Zidong probably didn't want his life to be ruined. But there was no way Ling Jue would suffer like this, so she found Ling Zidong and told him that she would not tell him about it, but that Ling Zidong would help her with something in the future. At that time, Ling Jue didn't think too much, she just thought Ling Zidong is very smart, and indeed, Ling Zidong has basically succeeded in teasing Ling Jue, such as using tricks to get her to participate in the design of the blackboard newspaper, or becoming the vice president of the student union. These seemingly good things actually make her Ling Jue suffered a lot, but in the end Ling Jue grew up. Ling Zidong made the mistake first, and this was indeed a reason. He agreed to Ling Jue's request. Ling Jue started to take over the family business after college, so the only times they met each month were on the day of family gatherings. After that, Ling Zidong also Ling Jue didn't tell Ling Jue that he liked him, so Ling Jue thought that his prank should be over.

At this time, Ling Zidong, who was standing at the top of the stairs, showed the familiar expression of half-smile but not a smile. Ling Jue frowned. She went down the stairs and was about to leave, but Ling Zidong stopped her, "Why, sister is like this." Hate me and don’t even want to talk to me for a few more words?”

"Sorry, not just you, I don't want to waste any more time on you."

"Then I'm relieved." Ling Zidong left an incomprehensible words, "I recently saw Miss Elena dating Zi Heng, sister, please be careful."

These words of inciting discord made Ling Jue feel bad. She recalled Elena's expression at noon today. It didn't seem that there was anything strange when she faced her. However, Elena answered a phone call in the middle of the day. When she came back, she With his face full of glory, Ling Jue even jokingly asked Elena if she had found the right one, and Elena smiled and told her to keep it a secret. Although Elena does not know the ingredients of Jiaoyang's cosmetics, she is responsible for the entire design of a product that Jiaoyang will launch recently, if she sells this design to other companies at a high price. Ling Jue shook his head. Elena can't be so stupid. If this incident breaks out, Elena's reputation will be damaged in the industry. From a profit perspective, Ling Jue believes that Elena will never do this. .

Ling Jue, who was worried, walked to the restaurant. Ling Zidong, who had succeeded, stood behind Ling Jue and made a hug gesture. A young man walked out behind him. He was wearing a royal blue custom-made suit and had a gun on his chest. With a golden pen, Ling Zidong lowered his arms, looked at the man through the lenses, and smiled slightly, "Zi Rui, what's wrong?"

Ling Zirui didn't answer him, but said, "You should have known in advance what my father was going to say at the party today."

"Oh?" Ling Zidong raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this little mouse really peeked at things he shouldn't.

"Don't pretend to be stupid. I think you really like Ling Jue, so how about we make a deal?" His angelic face instantly revealed a devilish smile. His posture at this time reminded Ling Zidong of One word: arrogance.

"What deal?"

"I will help you get Ling Jue, and you will give me all the Ling family's property."

Ling Zidong guessed Ling Zirui's intention, but he didn't understand why a person who had no sense of presence in the Ling family would suddenly become aggressive. Ling Zidong believed that he needed to investigate Ling Zirui.

"Let's talk about this later."

Ling Jue was the first person to arrive at the restaurant. The chefs and maids at home were very polite to her. It was said that Ling Jue's favorite dishes were cooked for today's dinner. Ling Jue was naturally very happy. After about half an hour, everyone was seated. Ling Chen was sitting at the main seat, and sitting on both sides were Ling Jue and Ling Jue's stepmother, Ling Chen's current wife, Su Miao. Many people think that with Ling Chen's status, even if she remarries, she will be a rich and noble girl, while Su Miao is an orphan girl with no background. Her advantages are probably her silent character and her relationship with Irina. Somewhat similar appearance. It is because of these two reasons that Su Miao can live comfortably in the Ling family, and Ling Ziheng complains a lot about Su Miao, as if he is accusing him. If Su Miao did not show up, his mother would sit in Mrs. Ling's car. It's not wrong for Ling Ziheng to think so about the throne. After all, this is the idea that his mother has always instilled in him since he was a child.

Ling Ziheng sat next to Ling Jue. He angrily cut off the steak on the plate with a knife and fork, while Ling Zidong sat opposite Ling Ziheng. Ling Zirui still looked like he had no sense of presence, sitting quietly beside Ling Zidong to eat. .

After everyone finished eating and the servants were serving desserts, Ling Chen suddenly said, "I want to announce something here. I have made a will. Part of my property will be donated to the Hope Orphanage. The other part will be given to Ling Jue’s husband.”

"Father!" Ling Jue knew that this was Ling Chen's plan for her. Even if he really became Ling Jue's husband, there must be many restrictions. Everyone at the dinner table had their own thoughts when they heard this, but only Ling Jue He and Ling Ziheng were very surprised. The remaining people should have known about this in advance.

Ling Chen had no intention of discussing it with the others. He didn't like desserts and went back to the room directly. Ling Jue didn't want to just accept her father's arrangement, which would put pressure on her. She was still on the rise in her career, and she didn't want to distract herself too much from what might happen next.

But Ling Chen never gave Ling Jue a chance to talk, so Ling Jue had no choice but to leave the villa. She lay in bed at night, thinking about the solution to the matter, but because she was too tired, she fell asleep early. , so she did not receive a call from Elena. Ling Jue discovered that Elena had called her more than once early the next morning, and when she opened the message, she found that Elena was crying to her that her design draft had been stolen. Ling Jue was in a daze. She remembered what Ling Zidong said yesterday. The relationship between Elena and Ling Ziheng was not simple. Could it be that Elena directed, acted and designed this scene? Ling Jue suppressed the doubts in his heart and arrived at Elena's studio. There were not many people in Elena's studio. There were only her and her two assistants. The suspect also arose between the two people, but they Both have solid alibi.

"Ling, I'm sorry, it was my mistake." Elena's face was full of guilt, but Ling Jue only felt a headache. The leakage of the information meant that she had to overturn all her previous plans and choose another path, and in the end The scary part was that the promotion she had planned long ago could not be carried out as scheduled. Such a change had never happened to Ling Jue in her life before. She took a breath and finally made a plan, "Elena, I want to design The leaked matter has nothing to do with Ling Ziheng." Elena's expression changed slightly when she heard the name, but she immediately disguised herself, "I don't know who Ling Ziheng is." Ling Jue's heart dropped, she said Someone will be found to investigate this matter, and Elena is asked to have a good rest. Their cooperation ends here.

On the way back, Ling Jue was thinking about how Ling Ziheng convinced Elena to work for him. Was it a generous reward or some unacceptable threat? Elena's background is very clear to Ling Jue. Elena's hometown is in an ordinary town in the West. Her parents died when she was young, and she grew up with her uncle and aunt. Later, Elena was admitted to the best art design school. The college started a life of cheating, and her debut work "Starry Sky" was praised by many teachers. What's more, it was said that Elena was recommended to the art academy based on this painting. Ling Jue sighed. She first called the lawyer working with the company. The voice on the other end was a bit noisy. She could vaguely hear that the other party was at the airport. "Mr. Ling, what's the matter?"

"Lawyer Gu, are you in China now? I have a design plan that I need to consult about theft."

"Is this afternoon okay? I'm still at the airport."

"Ok."

After making an appointment with lawyer Gu Chenming, Ling Jue returned to the company. Although the launch of new products was her most important task during this period, there were other documents that she needed to review personally, so Ling Jue had no choice but to return to the company without stopping and start After handling the work, I freed up all the time in the afternoon to discuss with Gu Chenming.
