Yun Yi stopped spinning, a "professional" expression appearing on her little face, and began to explain.
"Host, this is normal!"
"The Dragon King Ye Chen in the novel is essentially an extremely selfish, cruel, and particularly greasy guy."
“In the past, it was because of the blessing of the Heavenly Dao that they were given a layer of ‘domineering aura’ and ‘brain-depressing halo’, which forcibly distorted the perception of those around them, making those female protagonists think that he was good in every way, handsome to the point of being earth-shattering, and domineering to the point of being heart-fluttering.”
"but!"
Yun Yi clenched her little fists.
"Because of your appearance, host, and the permanent passive effect of the [Villain Transmigration System], Ye Chen's aura is ineffective in front of you!"
"Once those female protagonists regained their normal judgment, they were naturally able to see clearly what kind of person Ye Chen was."
"In comparison, you, host, are intelligent, handsome, capable, and know how to respect people (most of the time). Who else would they choose if not you? Would they choose that jerk who kills people's whole families at the drop of a hat, slaps anyone he doesn't like, and thinks he's so righteous?"
Qin Xiao listened to Yun Yiyi's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.
That makes sense.
Without the aura of being intellectually challenged, the female protagonists who were originally well-developed would naturally not be interested in someone like Ye Chen.
Just then, Qin Xiao's personal cell phone suddenly rang urgently.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar internal short number, but the contact name was "President's Office - Xiaoxi".
Qin Xiao answered the phone.
"Hello?"
A young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding clearly anxious and flustered.
"President Qin! Something terrible has happened!"
It was the voice of Xiaoqian, the secretary to the president of the Qin Group.
"Our company's stock has been maliciously shorted by a large amount of unidentified funds since the market opened this afternoon!"
"The stock price... the stock price has already hit the daily limit down!"
"There's a lot of anxiety within the group right now. Many shareholders are calling to question us, and the marketing and public relations departments are being bombarded with calls!"
"President Qin, please come back and take a look!"
Qin Xiao's previously relaxed gaze instantly turned sharp as an eagle's.
Malicious short selling?
His fingers tapped unconsciously on the sofa armrest.
At this critical juncture, who will it be?
Or is it that the influence of those financial tycoons I offended before I transmigrated has somehow seeped into this world?
"I see."
Qin Xiao's voice remained calm and steady, showing no sign of panic.
"Stabilize the situation and notify all senior executives to meet in the top-floor conference room in half an hour."
"I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiao stood up and grabbed his coat from the sofa.
The previous laziness and leisure were swept away, replaced by a long-lost coldness and focus belonging to top financial traders.
The storm is coming.
Half an hour later, at the top floor of the Qin Group headquarters building.
When Qin Xiao stepped out of the private elevator, the entire floor was in complete chaos.
The employees were walking briskly, the phone was ringing incessantly, people were arguing in hushed tones, and there was an atmosphere of panic and unease in the air.
Some employees were stunned for a moment when they saw Qin Xiao appear, but then buried themselves in their own work.
This "honorary president" is usually elusive and rarely seen. In their eyes, he is more like a symbolic mascot than a savior who can solve this catastrophic disaster.
It wasn't until Qin Xiao reached the door of the president's office and saw several department heads arguing heatedly around the desk that he spoke coldly. His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out all the noise.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The office fell silent.
Everyone turned around abruptly to look at the cold-faced young man at the door.
They then realized that this rarely seen President Qin seemed somewhat different from the playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Will arguing solve the problem?
Qin Xiao's gaze swept over the crowd, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Now, immediately, bring your department's latest financial statements, cash flow reports, and detailed data analysis of this attack to the conference room."
"I want to see everything in five minutes."
After saying that, he ignored the astonished expressions on everyone's faces and walked straight to the adjacent top-floor conference room.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was depressing.
Qin Xiao sat in the main seat, with stacks of documents and reports piled up in front of him.
He flipped through the pages extremely quickly, his fingers tracing patterns on the paper, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if he could pierce through the cold numbers and get straight to the heart of the problem.
The executives below didn't dare to breathe. Looking at the amazing professionalism and powerful aura displayed by this young president, their initial contempt had vanished, replaced by a strange sense of awe.
"Hmph, robbing Peter to pay Paul, living beyond one's means, chaotic internal management, and huge risk exposure."
Qin Xiao threw an audit file on the table with a soft "thud".
"It's no wonder they collapsed with just one push."
He looked up at the CFO.
"Immediately shrink non-core business operations, freeze all non-essential expenditures, prepare reserve funds, and be ready to launch a counterattack in the secondary market at any time."
He then looked at the marketing director.
"Contact all our long-term partners and strategic investors to find out their attitudes."
Next is the public relations department.
"Issue a reassuring announcement, emphasizing that the company's fundamentals are sound, that the rumors of malicious short selling are false, and that I will personally intervene if necessary."
