World 1: The Gloomy Retired Third-Generation X Original Female Lead’s Pitiful Colleague 04

“Mr. Huo, is there something wrong with this bed model? We’ll modify it immediately!”

Today, Huo Hanting was doing a routine inspection of the shopping mall under the Huo Group.

Originally, it was just a formality—done in a few minutes.

Who knew that Huo Hanting would stop dead in front of a displayed double bed in the home furnishings section, falling into deep thought.

Was there something wrong with the bed setup?

Did he dislike the brand?

A dozen senior executives began to panic, scratching their heads anxiously. Some of the more timid ones even signaled subordinates to quickly cancel the order for that bed model—just in case it offended Mr. Huo.

Little did they know, Huo Hanting was actually thinking about…

The single bed in Fu Yu’s small apartment.

It looked soft and cozy. If only he could lie down on it…

A shadow crossed Huo Hanting’s eyes. He had never had such shameful thoughts about a woman before.

Even hearing her talk cheerfully with another man made him want to snap that man’s neck and take his place.

He must be going insane.

“Miss Fu Yu would definitely like this one.”

As the only one who had caught on to the drama, the special assistant was almost dancing with excitement. He practically wanted to tattoo “Fu Yu is about to become the young madam” across his face.

After all, this was the first time Huo Hanting had spaced out at work over a woman!

“Shut up.”

A chilling glint flickered in Huo Hanting’s narrow eyes.

The special assistant braved it and added one more sentence, “I also found out that the tenant next to Miss Fu just moved out. The new tenant is a freshly graduated male college student, same major as Miss Fu… they’ll probably have a lot to talk about…”

“Buy the entire apartment building. No male tenants allowed.”

His expression didn’t change, but the air around him grew suffocating with pressure.

Executives exchanged confused glances.

What apartment?
A new development project?

The special assistant, holding back laughter, immediately followed his boss’s orders—

He arranged to have every male tenant evicted, offering three times the market rate in compensation.

That night, Fu Yu’s building and its surroundings were cleared of all male presence.

As a top-tier career-type Quick Transmigration repairer, Fu Yu always chose faces that were plain and forgettable—faces that disappeared in a crowd.

After all, the more invisible a hitman was, the better.

In Quick Transmigration, there are two types of repairers: career-type and emotion-type.
Career-type agents maintain the plot’s career progression, helping protagonists through business or logical obstacles.
Emotion-type agents focus on emotional development, ensuring stability in romantic plotlines.

Fu Yu, being top-ranked among career-type agents, was best known for her ability to eliminate any plot-disrupting characters.

Physically eliminate.

Recently, there was a major glitch in the yandere romance genre.

Female leads were suddenly rebelling against their psychotic male leads, choosing rebirths, falling for the second male leads, and dumping the designated “cannon fodder female villains” onto the yandere male leads instead.

Yandere male leads were dark, twisted, and unstable—even emotion-type repairers couldn’t handle them.

When this world’s mission was released, no one dared accept it.

Fu Yu had just returned from a cyberpunk world, where she had slaughtered every villain preventing the female lead’s ascension to godhood.

Before she even had time to wipe the blood off her face, her department head forcibly teleported her into this world.

“You just need to play a cannon fodder female character, raise the male lead’s affection score with some minor gestures, and prevent the world from collapsing. Sounds easy, right?”

But when Fu Yu saw her boss’s meaningful smile, she knew something was off.

“What’s my cheat this time? One-hit kill? Bullet storm? God-tier marksmanship?”

The department head scratched his nose and said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Then, she saw her system interface.

The bright red words on the dashboard said:

“High Fertility (Good Pregnancy Luck)”

…Was it too late to quit now?

But that wasn’t even the worst of it.

When she first met Huo Hanting and saw the affection score marked as 1000, she almost spat blood.

In the cyberpunk world, character stats ran into the billions.

Seeing a four-digit number now, she thought her mission was going to be a long uphill battle.

What she didn’t know…

100 is the maximum.

Huo Hanting’s first glance at Fu Yu had already maxed out the affection bar.

Fu Yu opened the data logs, hoping to figure out why Huo Hanting had fallen for Chen Manzi in the previous timeline.

Back then, the Chen family was in financial crisis, and Chen Manzi agreed to date Huo Hanting in exchange for his help.

He wanted to keep her close, but she thought he was suffocating her.

“I’m your girlfriend, not your pet!”
She threw the bodyguard he sent to spy on her right at him.
“You can’t control my life. I don’t want your money. We’re over!”

It was his first love, and the first time he was dumped.

He didn’t withdraw his investment from the Chen family, yet the company still collapsed from scandal.

Chen Manzi assumed he had orchestrated everything.

In her eyes, it was obvious—he destroyed the Chen family just to possess her.

Fu Yu kept flipping through the records.

No sweet romance. Just painful back-and-forth torment.

Chen Manzi and Gu Huai, though… they were kind of cute.

Gu Huai gave her good luck charms, took her to the beach, talked to her on the phone for hours, even risked offending Huo Hanting for her.

Later, Gu Huai lost use of his right hand in a car accident.

Chen Manzi naturally blamed Huo Hanting again.

It was the original Fu Yu who cared for Gu Huai during his recovery.

That care developed into a relationship.

But even after marrying Fu Yu, Gu Huai continued to help Chen Manzi escape Huo Hanting.

In the end, he even gave up his life for her.

Fu Yu narrowed her eyes.

So in the original plot, Fu Yu was just a prop in their three-way drama?

No wonder the world was falling apart.

Huo Group, CEO’s Office.

Fu Yu had been waiting for over an hour. Still no sign of Huo Hanting.

Just as she stood up to leave, a little girl bounced up to her.

She was sucking on a lollipop, her eyes bright as she looked into Fu Yu’s cool, indifferent ones.

Then she suddenly hugged her like a treasure.

“I like you. Hug hug.”

“Why should I hug you?”

“Because… because I…”

While the secretary team leader was distracted filling out a report, their little troublemaker had disappeared.

When he looked up and saw the girl clinging to Fu Yu, his heart almost stopped.

He rushed into the CEO’s office with a forced smile, “Miss Tailin, we should—”

“Get out.”

Huo Tailin, sweet as sugar, shouted back:
“Can’t you see I’m talking to Big Sis?”

Then she turned to Fu Yu with watery eyes.

“Big Sis, you really won’t hug Tailin? I can ask my big brother Huo Hanting to give you lots and lots of money! If you like my brother, I can even give him to you as a gift!”
