Lin Xuan's PUA Brainwashing and False Promises—Ma Yingzhe and His Wife Fully Submit

Late at night.

Magic City First People's Hospital.

Rumble—

A van sped to a stop at the hospital entrance. The door swung open, and three large, writhing bags were thrown out before the vehicle sped away.

Huh???

This bizarre scene immediately sparked intense curiosity among passersby.

They cautiously approached the three large bags and carefully untied the knots, only to discover the bound...

Lin family trio.

Among them, Lin Jianjun was in the worst condition—covered in blood and unconscious.

His left hand was bare—five fingers had been completely severed at the base.

"Ahhh—"

With the screams of passersby rising up, this was destined to be a sleepless night...

The next morning.

"(_ _)( - . - )(O)...( - . - )~~"

Lin Xuan yawned as he got up, did a few routine exercises to wake himself up.

[Ding! The host pressed against the wall ten times, reward: 10 points.]

[Ding! The host pressed against the ground ten times, reward: 100 points.]

[Ding! The host pressed against the air ten times, reward: 1 point.]

After completing his basic exercises— "Pressing against the wall, pressing against the ground, pressing against the air"—Lin Xuan finished washing up and left the house.

Soon.

He arrived once again at the familiar street food stall.

But this time, he didn't see Mu Xiaowan.

He didn't mind and simply stepped into the hospital, heading straight for the best VIP ward...

Two and a half minutes later.

Knock, knock, knock!!!

Lin Xuan knocked on one of the hospital room doors at a steady pace. A gruff voice immediately responded from inside.

"Who is it?!"

Click!

The person inside opened the door, and upon seeing Lin Xuan standing there, his face instantly lit up with joy.

He quickly and respectfully guided Lin Xuan inside.

"Boss! Please come in, please! I've been waiting for you!"

"The breakfast you ordered—I just bought it, and it's still warm! Please eat while it's hot!"

Ma Yingzhe wasn't surprised at all by Lin Xuan's arrival. Clearly, he had been expecting him.

Because yesterday, while reporting on the progress of his work...

Lin Xuan had mentioned that it was hard to explain over the phone, so they had agreed to meet in person.

＼(＾▽＾)メ(＾▽＾)ノ

"Not bad. Three days apart, and you've changed remarkably."

"With this outfit, no one could tell you were down and out just a while ago."

Lin Xuan walked into the hospital room.

He first glanced at Ma Yingzhe's drastically different appearance from the previous day and teased with interest.

As the ancient saying goes:

"A person is judged by their clothing, just as a horse is judged by its saddle."

If yesterday's Ma Yingzhe gave off the vibe of a "poor rural worker" at a glance...

Then today, in a brand-new, glossy dark suit that exuded understated class, he looked like a successful elite—confident in every move.

He now looked every bit the elite professional, his every move brimming with confidence.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by Lin Xuan's teasing, Ma Yingzhe scratched his head awkwardly and hurried to explain:

"Uh... I had no choice, boss! In this world, even if you lose, you can't lose face. Looking the part is crucial if you want to impress people."

"I can say that a big reason I completed the [share acquisition] task so quickly was because of this outfit."

"As soon as those shareholders recognized the brand of my clothing, their trust in me immediately increased."

"......."

Ma Yingzhe spoke until his mouth was dry, feeling a little anxious.

He was really worried that Lin Xuan would misunderstand, thinking he had recklessly splurged the money.

But he really had no choice!

Spending that much money pained him too—his entire outfit had cost hundreds of thousands.

If it weren't for Lin Xuan's financial support, Ma Yingzhe had no idea how many years he'd need to save up that much money...

Fortunately, the money was well spent, significantly improving his work efficiency.

After all, in Chinese society, where relationships matter...

Going to negotiate a business deal on an electric scooter versus arriving in a Rolls-Royce creates an entirely different level of pressure.

In the former case, people wouldn't take you seriously. In the latter, they'd treat you with utmost respect.

That's reality!!!

So, after receiving the assignment from Lin Xuan...

The first thing Ma Yingzhe did was not rush off to reclaim the shares.

Instead, he went straight to a luxury brand store to buy a complete high-end outfit...

A Kiton suit, one of Italy's top luxury brands known for its exquisite craftsmanship and elegant style—cost: 250,000 yuan.

A Rolex Submariner, the latest hot model from the renowned Swiss watch brand—cost: 500,000 yuan.

Leather shoes from Lattanzi, an Italian national treasure-level brand—cost: 100,000 yuan.

When he wore that full outfit… Ma Yingzhe trembled all over.

He never imagined he would have the chance to experience this kind of transformation.

His heart was filled with boundless gratitude toward Lin Xuan, who had given him this chance at a new life.

But at the same time, he was a little worried that Lin Xuan might misunderstand and think he was embezzling and squandering money.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan was no fool—he understood Ma Yingzhe's reasoning.

Seeing Ma Yingzhe's eagerness to explain how he spent the money, Lin Xuan chuckled internally and decided to use this as an opportunity to win his loyalty.

"What are you worried about? You really think I'd blame you over such a small amount? Come on, do I seem that petty?"

"You're about to become the spokesperson for the Lin Group—your image and presence are crucial. What's a little spending in comparison?"

"Besides, I'm not interested in money—I'm interested in the value you can create for me."

"As long as you work hard for me, what's a few hundred thousand? Remember, our goal is the stars and the vast ocean!!!"

"....."

Under Lin Xuan's subtle psychological manipulation and grand promises…

Ma Yingzhe was deeply moved, nodding repeatedly. He secretly vowed to achieve great success to repay Lin Xuan for recognizing his worth…

As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at the hospital bed, where Lin Xuan finally saw the now-conscious woman.

Though her complexion was still pale, she looked much better than in the past few days.

"Xiao Mei, this is the new boss I told you about—he's also your savior."

With Ma Yingzhe's introduction…

The woman in the hospital bed, upon learning Lin Xuan's identity, looked extremely nervous and respectfully attempted to kneel to express her gratitude.

"Stop, stop, stop! Why do you and your husband both insist on doing this? It's way too early in the morning for such a scene, alright?!"

"Your priority right now is to rest and recover! If you truly want to repay me, then after you've healed, work for me together with your husband!"

Lin Xuan grinned as he extended an olive branch.

He recalled from the storyline…

Chen Mei's abilities weren't as strong as Ma Yingzhe's.

But with her husband's full guidance, she eventually became a formidable career woman.

"But I... I'm just a housewife with only a middle school education. Can I really work for you, boss?"

Years of being looked down upon had made Chen Mei timid and deeply insecure.

When faced with Lin Xuan's offer…

Her first instinct was to doubt her own abilities, believing herself unworthy. She didn't even dare to meet Lin Xuan's gaze.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression turned serious. Without hesitation, he transformed into a motivational speaker, launching into his grand vision.

"Who says women are inferior to men?"

"Women hold up half the sky."

"Are lords and nobles born any different from us?" (A historical phrase "Are nobles born noble?"

...

After Lin Xuan's passionate speech, Chen Mei's eyes gleamed with determination. Her heart surged with newfound confidence, believing that she could indeed achieve greatness.

"Yes, yes! Thank you for trusting me, boss. I will work hard and not let you down!"

"That's the spirit. I have high hopes for you."

Having secured two capable subordinates in one go, Lin Xuan was in a great mood. He sat down to have breakfast with the couple, using the opportunity to strengthen their bond.

He planned to be a hands-off boss, leaving the company's affairs entirely in Ma Yingzhe and his wife's hands.

So, he didn't mind spending some time fostering goodwill with them.

Even though, according to their character setup, these two were unshakably loyal and would never betray him.

But if a few kind words and small gestures could make them even more devoted, why not do it?!

Soon, breakfast was over.

Lin Xuan smiled as he stood up, instructing Chen Mei to rest well before leaving the hospital room with Ma Yingzhe.

Inside a lounge.

Ma Yingzhe reported the current progress of the stock acquisitions and handed Lin Xuan some documents to sign.

"Boss, we've reclaimed 38% of Lin Group's shares so far."

"The remaining shares are held by small retail investors, and a few minor shareholders are still resisting."

"Once you sign these stock transfer agreements, these shares will officially be yours."

"As long as we can reclaim your father's shares, the Lin Group will be completely under your control."

"......"

After listening to Ma Yingzhe's report, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, took out his pen, and started signing.

At the same time, he asked if there was any news about Lin Jianjun's whereabouts.

He was still somewhat concerned that the kidnappers might not have kept their word—taking the prescription but refusing to release Lin Jianjun, or worse, killing him.

If that happened, his plans would be delayed again.

What a hassle!!!

Fortunately, after making a somewhat strange expression, Ma Yingzhe quickly provided the answer Lin Xuan was looking for.

"Them? Oh... they're all in this very hospital, recovering from their injuries."

"Hmm???"

With Ma Yingzhe's explanation…

Lin Xuan finally learned that the kidnappers had dumped the three members of the Lin family at the hospital entrance the night before—and just how miserable Lin Jianjun's condition was.

"I heard that your father lost too much blood and was in a coma the whole night. Not sure if he's awake yet, but his left hand seems to be completely useless now."

Due to the terrible consequences of the [Beauty Ointment] scandal, the Lin family had become completely famous—though infamously so.

So, when last night's incident happened, it caused quite a stir.

The internet was flooded with comments celebrating their misfortune. That's when Ma Yingzhe learned about the whole situation…

"Oh? As long as he's not dead, that's fine. You handle it."

"After this experience, that old man probably won't be so stubborn. Acquiring his shares should be easier now."

Hearing the underlying indifference in Lin Xuan's words about his own father…

Ma Yingzhe was a little surprised.

But he still nodded and assured that he would meet with Lin Jianjun as soon as possible to reclaim the shares.

"But boss, the Lin Group is already a collapsing building. The brand reputation is ruined."

"Are you planning to use [Beauty Pills] to turn things around?"

Upon hearing this…

Lin Xuan smiled, nodded, then shook his head with a mysterious expression:

"Once I completely take over the Lin Group, Su Family's [Beauty Pills] will be one of our flagship products."

"But that's not enough! If we rely on just one product, no matter how successful it is, the company won't have a real breakthrough."

"Since we're doing this, we'll go big. We'll produce multiple blockbuster products..."

Produce multiple blockbuster products?

Ma Yingzhe was a little confused.

He knew that such overwhelmingly popular products…

Weren't something that could be developed casually—it required the right timing, market conditions, and connections.

But his boss was talking about it like it was as simple as eating and drinking?

But confusion aside, the boss was always right.

All he needed to do was follow orders…
