Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"It's easy for you to say," complained Tang Ziyi.

Ling Qingyu glared at her and added. "At least, this is the compensation for what we have today."

Tang Ziyi sighed and nodded. "You better have good reasons to convince your wife."

Ling Qingyu smiled and waved. "Sister Yang will understand. As long as we don't bring the case to the table, she'll look to the other side. She has learned a lot these days."

"I'm worried we might have broken her personality," said Xiao Yue.

"That's maturity." Ling Qingyu fixed the statements. "Besides, her will is something that can't be changed easily. Don't think that she facilitates our movements. This is because our relationship between the two parties is no different from comrades on a battlefield."

"Then, let's talk about our case with Qin family," said Xiao Yue.

"What else but to remove the family name from the top influence?" Ling Qingyu spread her hands.

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth and gestured a fist at Ling Qingyu. Was that something, she should say?

"It's hard. Their influence has spread deep into every circle. In any official branch, even the military, you name it. Such aristocratic families are the hardest to deal with." Xiao Yue thought and talked about the obstacles ahead.

Ling Qingyu rubbed her nose in annoyance. An old enemy was destroyed but a new one popped out. When would she have a rest?

Miss System: ???

Tang Ziyi: ???

Xiao Yue: ???

You weren't doing a lot in the first place and why were you sounding exhausted, those might be the exact words if Ling Qingyu's inner complaint was heard.

Ling Qingyu utilized several methods from multiple directions, just to eliminate a powerful gang, whose influence had embedded inside the elite circle. Qin family was simply a tenfold rise in difficulty.

"Sister Yang's mother could become our party." Ling Qingyu wanted ideas.

"Yes, but she's a politician. She needs benefits and a grudge. The former we could easily satisfy but the latter is extremely arduous. She wouldn't offend a strong family for no reason, no matter what we give." Xiao Yue analyzed and pointed out. "Even then, she's still alone. Her influence isn't enough to singlehandedly fight against a family."

"You're talking about direct confrontation." Ling Qingyu disagreed, shaking her head. "In the military, using guerrilla works for small force against a strong might. Similarly, this applies to the Qin family."

"Please do tell me what's on your mind." Xiao Yue leaned forward while Tang Ziyi watched the two discuss with lazy eyes. After all, her brain couldn't join in to fill strategic gaps.

Listening to their viewpoints and chess plans and layouts, Tang Ziyi gave up and slouched on the nearest sofa to sleep. These two weren't human! How did their brains work?

"Similar approach and strategy, just on a different scale," answered Ling Qingyu.

"Then, you better prepare to endure and tolerate. It's going to be the last person standing to laugh." Xiao Yue said. "We have loads of time. We might have enmity but Qin would never expect what you're going to do until the final steps."

"Yeah, last time we had a fight but I won. Of course, because the cost isn't worth their time and money, so they compromised and gave up." Ling Qingyu shrugged. "But once we touch their interests and show destructive traits, life and death battle is next."

"Yes, so be smart and strike when you know you win already. You don't have the strength yet. Overthrowing a family singlehandedly through rules isn't possible." Xiao Yue replied. "Be patient, we have time, every small piece of advantages. Don't…"

"I know. I know. Sometimes, I feel like you being short could be because of your nagging behavior."

Xiao Yue was pissed and snorted, no longer bothering to talk. She had reminded Ling Qingyu of the smallest details that she needed to pay attention to. Why was her height always attacked?

"If you ever become impatient and agitated, just simply think that you can kill them anytime." Xiao Yue pointed out. "Who do you suspect among the Qin family that ordered your life; I meant your sister's?"

"No idea. Based on her account, she became familiar with Qin Group's President's brother and she was attacked. So, it can't be a coincidence that elder brother is a suspect."

"But for what reason? That I'm truly puzzled." Xiao Yue's eyes narrowed but she bit her lips.

Ling Qingyu nodded and affirmed Xiao Yue's guess. "As you guessed, those in power for so long can become crazy. They always thought the world revolved around them. They would rather kill a thousand than let a single person go. I'm sure if we dig deep, we might uncover many souls, crying for injustice."

"I mean I also acted the same against anyone on the opposite but I'll never abuse my power to the extent that I decide someone's fate arbitrarily."

"That's why Sister Yue was so successful as a warlord. You respect a system, an order. They don't. They only know might is right; not that I disagree but it'll collapse if they do whatever they want—a matter of time, decades at most." Ling Qingyu said. "I even wonder what's in Qin patriarch's head to lend power to his heir."

Xiao Yue shook her head. "Let's focus on our self-improvement. You're walking on that path toward powerhouse. Don't let emotions consume you."

Ling Qingyu smiled. "Of course, I'm always sane. My goal is never about them but myself. For now, I intend to focus on overseas business. To defeat tycoons like Qin Group, I must find strength from abroad."

"If only Athena hacked Qin family before Ling Yunxiang was around you. Otherwise, they wouldn't suspect if you kept up so many attacks, rendering them helpless." Xiao Yue sighed with pity.

"After all, we didn't even know Qin Group was our enemy at that moment." Ling Qingyu chuckled. Xiao Yue was right, she could attack several times through Athena, provided the enemy didn't suspect her. But it was obvious last time, Qin group focused on Ling Qingyu to find troubles.

Not that she was afraid but the mess would complicate her plan; fortunately, Yang Qingyue covered her and both sides stopped in tacit agreement.

"So, Sister Tang…en…why are you closing your eyes?" Ling Qingyu's eyes glittered with cunningness.

"Taking a rest when I'm available."

"Well, indeed, I'm sorry, I need your help." Ling Qingyu walked toward a cupboard and opened a drawer. She took out a scroll, formation techniques, gifted by Miss System.

Tang Ziyi's lips twitched as she looked at Ling Qingyu's hands. "You're not thinking what I'm thinking, right?"

"Too bad, dear Ziyi. It's exactly what you thought."

Tang Ziyi groaned and greeted Ling Qingyu. Xiao Yue covered her lips as it curled up, seeing Tang Ziyi in troubles.

No matter how Tang Ziyi acted impassively, Ling Qingyu's hand was always in her direction. Giving up, Tang Ziyi snatched the scroll and read the literature. Her eyes drfiting from the text toward Ling Qingyu occasionally. "Not bad, an interesting subject."

"So…" Ling Qingyu was about to talk but was cut off.

"Why don't you study yourselves?"

"You know my talent. I may be good at management and strategy but these…even if I'm interested, I know my limits." Ling Qingyu shrugged.
