Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

The next few days, after Ling Qingyu told Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, the discussion spread to Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu.

The latter two showed complicated expressions upon hearing the news. They thought they had completely separated from their corrupt military past.

The honor and creed they upheld and were proud of seemed almost laughable when faced with injustice.

The only gains from the army were their discipline and powerful will—two important traits hard to find in normal civilian life.

Ling Qingyu and the others, who understood their inner turmoil, offered a few words of comfort.

Anyway, Xiao Yue suggested cooperating on the surface but not too deeply, like Yang Qingyue.

Tang Ziyi and Ling Qingyu agreed. They had no idea what General Tang was like, even if they trusted Gu Yi.

At the same time, with Gu Yi's recommendation, it was hard for them to refuse outright. She was right to say they could avoid many detours and reach their goal faster.

Shaking hands with General Tang wouldn't cost much. Tang Ziyi joked about whether Ling Qingyu believed in her own subordinates.

She and Xiao Yue affirmed their loyalty. Given Ling Qingyu's unparalleled treatment, betrayal was impossible.

They swore that no one had the slightest thought of leaving. Plus, Athena was always watching to monitor any mishaps.

With their guarantees, Ling Qingyu waved her hand and no longer concerned herself with the matter. She delegated the decision to Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue.

They weren't wrong to say she was being too sensitive. But who could blame her? Anyone who felt someone prying into their domain—especially their military force—would react the same.

Meanwhile, Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu rejected the possibility of reconnecting with the military, as Ling Qingyu had suggested.

After all, for someone at a lieutenant level like Su Ruomei, meeting and befriending General Tang was what every soldier dreamed of.

However, they cited their happy lives with the other Spirit Fox sisters as their reason and expressed their desire to cut off any ties that brought back nightmares and despair.

They immersed themselves in managing Spirit Fox as usual, reporting to Yang Qingyue regularly.

Ling Qingyu shook her head and wondered if the idea of mercenaries was possible given the girls' mindsets.

However, she sighed in relief, remembering that the purpose of founding Spirit Fox wasn't to serve as mercenaries for money. Rather, it was about building strength to protect herself and her interests.

No matter how the name changed, these girls were her bodyguards—personal ones. An army closest to her and her confidantes.

If she ever desired a big army, she'd have to tread carefully. Sending her girls to a battlefield distressed her deeply.

Despite Tang Ziyi's unparalleled protection, Ling Qingyu would rather not have to rely on them. They were her precious treasures.

If not for Tang Ziyi's insistence, Spirit Fox wouldn't have formed so quickly to help Yang Qingyue.

Still, Ling Qingyu understood her selfishness and was content to see her girls finding happiness.

Sure, a few may have entered the job for money at first, but the warm community had already captured their hearts.

Not to mention, there was little to no danger in the workplace. Where else could they enjoy such hidden benefits?

Moreover, most of the girls came from military or police backgrounds. The job was a perfect adaptation for them, setting aside the salary and perks.

Cross-border missions seemed dangerous, but not for Spirit Fox, given Ling Qingyu's immense mobile storage capabilities.

However, the wars took a mental toll on Ling Qingyu, making her worry about her girls' well-being.

Her past experiences across borders reminded her of so much unpleasantness. She thought she could handle it, given her history and her love for combat.

It turned out war indeed brought adrenaline and excitement but at the cost of countless tragedies and ugliness.

Fortunately, Spirit Fox's past missions targeted truly vile individuals. This reminded her of the importance of maintaining her team's psychological well-being.

She had spoken with Tang Ziyi about addressing potential future threats. Ling Qingyu had no intention of fighting for profit unless self-protection required it.

She wouldn't upend the table unless absolutely necessary. Following the rules and playing by the book still had its advantages.

The mercenary group she envisioned would belong solely to her, with only girls as members.

Her "harem" members were hers alone. External protection services would only be offered if she could recruit a significant number of foreign fighters, which she deemed highly unlikely.

…

Now that Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue agreed to meet and discuss with Gu Yi's confidantes, Ling Qingyu put the matter out of her mind.

However, as the two departed, they robbed her of the gift she hadn't even laid her hands on yet.

Yes, that was correct—Ling Qingyu had received a reward from Miss System: an A380 passenger aircraft, complete with proficient flight crews and pilots.

All of them could be rated five stars for both appearance and professionalism. When Ling Qingyu reviewed their profiles, she was delighted.

Moreover, they were all women. Miss System truly understood her best.

If others knew her thoughts, countless complaints about her supposed misandry would arise.

Even Miss System was helpless against Ling Qingyu's preferences. Of course, Miss System could have teased her host by providing male flight attendants, but that would undermine Ling Qingyu's motivation.

Who knew what chaos might ensue if Ling Qingyu lost all her drive, jeopardizing the future she had carefully built?

In fact, Ling Qingyu was certain she'd vomit blood if that happened. Who in their right mind with "correct" sexual orientation would look at men?

She could lose anything but not this, as it meant everything for her sense of independence.

Because of her new female subordinates, Ling Qingyu lost interest in the engineering marvel she had just received.

Even an upgraded version produced by Miss System barely piqued her curiosity.

These A380 staff members had innocent backgrounds, carefully chosen by Miss System. The addition of womanpower suggested that more of her villas would soon be occupied, even if these women stayed in her residence only temporarily.

As for concerns about the pilots' expertise, Ling Qingyu merely scoffed. In terms of capability, she was far better trained and more experienced than those oldies about to retire.

Miss System had thoroughly abused her during the skill upload. In an emergency, she could take over without the slightest pressure.

She also trusted Miss System's judgment. No unqualified personnel would ever enter the aircraft.

Ling Qingyu was furious that, before she had the chance to visit her private jet upon its arrival, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue commandeered it and flew away.

Helpless and frustrated, Ling Qingyu directed her emotions toward her business opponents and reinforced numerous plans.

Ling Qingyu's rivals: Excuse me?!

In the days that followed, opposing companies found themselves in disarray, plagued by numerous messes and bad news tarnishing their reputations.

Many searched for the reasons and culprits, while upper management struggled with headaches trying to figure out who they had offended.

Province N's business circles were thrown into turmoil for a while, lasting two weeks. The culprit remained blissfully unaware and unconcerned after a soothing session with her love.

When it came to challenging Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, Ling Qingyu refrained from uttering a single word. She had won against the latter and could "abuse" her, but the former would protect the latter.

Not long after, the air brightened significantly in the following days. Ling Qingyu almost forgot that Miss System had gifted her two rewards.

In addition to the private jet, a private island complete with a hospital was now ready. In fact, it should be considered more of a medical city.

She had no idea why, but unlike the Imperial Resort, which she received as a reward instantly, both rewards had taken a while to arrive.

Additionally, Miss System must have encountered some unexpected positive developments, as she overdelivered beyond what Ling Qingyu deserved.

The nearest small chains of islands around had been linked together and were now owned by Ling Qingyu.

While the land area for the previous medical city had been rented out for some years, the current ownership was completely under her name.

As for how on earth Miss System had managed the difficult procedure, Ling Qingyu remained noncommittal.

Miss System was omnipotent. She might usually work in the background, but when she acted, the results were completely unexpected.

Anyway, Ling Qingyu was over the moon about now owning the medical island and the surrounding ones.

The combined area she controlled was vast and uninhabited. How in the world had a certain country surrendered its autonomy and sold them without the slightest resentment?

Wait—she should investigate whether the population there held negative opinions about her acquisition.

Damn it, this System moved so fast and brilliantly, yet she had to handle everything herself. Oh, her suffering.

Her complaints were merely an outlet, but Ling Qingyu genuinely believed she had gained more than enough benefits to justify the hassle.

Offending public sentiment might be harder to address, but it wasn't as if no solution existed.

After all, the population had yet to be thoroughly convinced. It seemed she would need to make a trip there very soon.
