Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

"Xiaoyue..."

Konglan bit her lower lip, trying to control her emotions. Her nose scrunched up involuntarily, and a faint furrow of sorrow appeared between her brows, only to dissolve into endless tenderness as her eyes moved.

'How long had it been since I felt such complex emotions?'

Perhaps on the day she founded the Purgatory Factory, she had dedicated her entire being to the Weird Lord, and all her emotions had become the foundation for the factory's growth.

She was the supreme President.

And in the eyes of outsiders, a crazed and fanatical believer.

Most employees hated her, wishing they could grind her bones to dust. Some respected her, viewing her as a monarch in absolute control. Amidst it all, her own emotions had been gradually fading.

Until now!

Deep down, her emotions churned. She truly felt she had made a mistake.

It was like a mature older sister, hardened by the trials of the world, doubting her own innocent younger sister.

This was wrong.

The moment the truth was revealed.

Konglan felt a pang of heartache.

She made a resolution!

'From now on, no matter what, I will never doubt Yun Zhenyue again!'

'Even if Yun Zhenyue held a knife to my throat...'

'...I would first suspect that *I* was the undercover agent!'

...

At this moment, hearing this affectionate voice, Yun Zhenyue felt her scalp go numb.

She opened her mouth slightly, but upon seeing the moved gazes of everyone around her, she closed it again.

Especially Konglan, with that complicated look in her eyes.

It left her at a loss for words.

'What in the world have these people been imagining?'

'This is bad!'

'It would be better to just come clean!'

Just as Yun Zhenyue was frozen in awkwardness,

Konglan gently took Yun Zhenyue's hands. She then lowered her gaze slightly, looked her in the eyes, and said sincerely, "I want to apologize for what I said before."

"You must be very disappointed in me, in the factory, right now. I can't say that I understand how you feel, because you're the only one who has truly experienced being misunderstood by everyone."

"But I still want to say, I hope you can forgive me... your inadequate older sister."

"Whether it's an apology, compensation, or if you want to take a long break, or protect certain people, you can tell me. Consider it my way of atoning."

Yun Zhenyue felt her palms grow hot.

Her ears were about to turn red!

'But I wasn't even angry!'

'Besides, isn't this the first time we've met?'

'How am I her sister now?'

'When did I max out the affection meter with this President?'

"I don't blame you," Yun Zhenyue said truthfully. "President, perhaps this matter is... a little different from what you imagine. You really don't have to be so kind to me."

Because her mind was reeling,

Yun Zhenyue forgot to call her Lan and subconsciously addressed her by her title.

But when these words reached Konglan's ears, she misinterpreted them as a sign that she hadn't been forgiven. Moreover, the second half of Yun Zhenyue's sentence sent Konglan's imagination running wild.

'Could it be that there's a hidden story I don't know about?'

'That makes sense.'

'Is intelligence on the Living Body Company really that easy to obtain?'

'This silly girl must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, maybe even paid a price I can't imagine, just to get her hands on it after all that trouble!'

Regardless, Konglan's desire to compensate Yun Zhenyue had become unstoppable.

"Silly child, if I'm not good to you, who will be?"

"You are the successor I value most."

In front of all the employees,

Konglan voiced her truest thoughts.

Successor?

The moment this word came out!

Every employee was visibly shocked, their minds buzzing!

GULP~

You could hear many employees swallowing hard.

But it wasn't enough to suppress the shock in their hearts.

Faint gasps circulated in the air.

Given Yun Zhenyue's mind-boggling promotion speed, many mid- and high-level managers had already been suspicious of the President's attitude. Were they planning to groom her as the next President?

But suspicion was different from an open admission!

It was like an emperor acknowledging the crown prince in front of all his ministers!

This represented President Konglan's one hundred percent trust in Yun Zhenyue!

A belief that she had the ability to make the factory better and better.

It also represented her favoritism toward Yun Zhenyue!

Their relationship now had the most intimate connection!

Successor was like a bond. From now on, no matter who it was—an internal employee of the factory or the ruler of another instance...

...they would have to think twice about the weight behind the Purgatory Factory before speaking to Yun Zhenyue. If any of them had disloyal intentions, they would first have to consider whether they could withstand the Purgatory Factory's thunderous wrath.

"Wow, Master!"

"My master is going to be the President!"

While everyone else held their breath, silently digesting this unbelievable announcement, Xiaojiu was the first to break the silence, her eyes practically sparkling.

Her most revered Master!

Was actually going to be the factory's President!

This was earth-shattering good news for Xiaojiu!

She had it all planned out. In the future, she would use her Master's reputation to go around "causing trouble!"

'Who's gonna defy me?'

'I'll just hit them with a line!'

'I'll just say, "My Master is the President of the Purgatory Factory! If you don't like it, I'll have my Master come beat you up!"'

Just thinking about that scene made Xiaojiu giggle deviously, her mouth hanging slightly open, drool nearly dripping onto the floor.

Xiaoba couldn't bear to watch. She pulled on her sleeve and said, "Shut up, you idiot!"

"Don't be a fool at a time like this!"

Konglan saw the two sisters' intimate interaction.

She wasn't angry.

On the contrary, she was happy to see it!

She wanted to announce to everyone that from now on, Yun Zhenyue was under her protection!

But this compensation wasn't enough.

Konglan took Yun Zhenyue's hand again and looked at all the weirds in the cafeteria.

Although announcing the next piece of news in the cafeteria was a bit inappropriate for the occasion, her heart, overflowing with pity and affection for Yun Zhenyue, could no longer be stopped.

At this moment!

All the weirds sensed a terrifying aura!

Konglan immediately announced solemnly, "Ms. Yun Zhenyue has thwarted the Living Body Company's plot this time, protecting the Purgatory Factory. The factory will not ignore the outstanding contributions she has made."

"I now solemnly declare that Ms. Yun Zhenyue is officially the Purgatory Factory's... Saintess!"

"Her position is Nine-Star, on par with the General Manager."

"From now on, her attitude is Purgatory's attitude. Seeing her is the same as seeing me."

"She has earned the right to have an audience with the Weird Lord. I will take her to the Purgatory Factory's Holy Land to worship the Weird Lord!"

Saintess?

Nine-Star?

An audience with the Weird Lord?

These few keywords, linked together!

Nearly all the employees went crazy!

"Saintess? This is the first time I've heard our factory even has this position."

"The President probably just came up with it. After all, there can only be one General Manager."

"Nine-Star... If only I could be half as amazing as Lady Saintess."

"What are you dreaming about? Are you as loyal as Lady Saintess?"

"Sigh..."

The employees had witnessed a miracle!

An employee who had only been at the Purgatory Factory for a little over a month had risen meteorically, becoming second only to one person and even gaining the right to truly meet the Weird Lord they all revered!

What an immense honor!

Some employees' eyes showed jealousy, but under the pressure from Konglan, not a single one dared to question it openly.

All they could say were words of congratulations and respect.

Even the three hundred employees who had been poisoned by the laxatives...

...looked at Yun Zhenyue with admiration.

Although they had gotten food poisoning...

...at least they hadn't gone to their deaths.

Where there's life, there's hope.

Yun Zhenyue...

No!

Lady Saintess was their savior!

In such a fervent atmosphere,

Yun Zhenyue was at a complete loss.

'How did my status keep getting higher and higher?'

'My original undercover plan is completely ruined.'
