After seeing the video, Finn originally thought that netizens would think he was enslaving high school students, since he had indeed proposed many, many requirements, even specifying every detail. To his surprise, when he opened the comments section, they were actually filled with praise for him—
[I'm so moved! To think there's actually a client in this world with such a clear mind!]
[Seeing that group of high schoolers busy as bees yet full of excitement, it suddenly dawned on me: a great client can truly turn work into a pleasure! Don't ask, just know that I am currently serving time at the company.]
[What kind of chosen one client is this? The budget is ample and sufficient, the requirements are clear and precise, he even takes the initiative to find reference images to show you exactly what he wants! No need for repetitive presentations, no need to constantly second-guess the boss's thoughts, no need to provide countless versions only to fail to deliver the feeling the boss is looking for.. Finn Osborn is simply the most perfect client!]
[Help! Young Master Finn even lets you film videos to record the requirements! Unlike my boss, who forgets what he said in the morning by the afternoon and then blames me for not remembering!]
[Other clients: "Guess what I want?
Finn: I want this, this, this. Use the video as proof; just get it done.
The corporate slave watched, shedding tears of envy and self-pity.
[Finn: I want A. Team: On it. Result: Perfect A.
My boss: I want A. Me: Done. Boss: No, what I want is B, but with a P feeling.
Me??]
[Has anyone noticed that when Young Master Finn makes requests, he is incredibly confident, expectant, enthusiastic? Unlike certain clients who are incredibly arrogant, making unrealistic demands with a sense of superiority, most importantly, having absolutely no budget! And in the end, they expect you to take the fall!]
[From this day forward, my ideal client and boss finally has a clear face.]..
".." Finn didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw these comments.
—Oh no, these netizens have actually worked before.
—And they were deeply hurt by it.
Because of the record-breaking popularity of Finn's Party, reports about the Osborn family's Young Master Osborn were even more overwhelming across the internet—
Finn Osborn is back! Even without the halo of the Osborn Group, he continues to break through the boundaries!

Why did this party leave the entire industry in silence? Even if you understand these points, you still won't be able to replicate it!

But just as everyone was marveling at Finn's modern entrepreneurial tactics, which demonstrated a masterful command of business logic, even Finn's friends were speculating how he would capitalize on his momentum to convert this massive public attention into even greater profits—
Young Master Osborn sat nonchalantly at the party scene where the celebration had come to an end, he told you with a smile:
I'm going back to inherit the family business.
That sounds as if—
He was really just playing before.
Once he had played enough, he planned to go home and become an "ordinary" heir to the family business.
It was just that Finn had been too reckless before, to the point that everyone maintained a skeptical and watchful attitude.
"Do you really have the focus to take over the affairs of the Osborn Group?" Even Noah was like this; he naturally knew just how active Finn was. After seeing Finn's performance at the Osborn Group press conference, Noah also believed that Finn truly had the brains for it.
But having brains is one thing; having the focus is another.
Just like Finn before, he also worked at Osborn Group, but he was just drawing hamsters.
Not interested." Finn said truthfully, resting his chin in both hands, "But Harry is under too much pressure right now.
Noah frowned and remained silent. If he didn't know about Harry Osborn's condition, he would have definitely spoken up to stop Finn. But now he also knew that neither Harry Osborn's mental nor physical health was in good shape; if Finn didn't lend Harry a hand at this time.. that proud fellow might truly push himself to the brink of collapse without uttering a single word.
Moreover, what troubled Noah even more was whether he should tell Finn that his brother had a hereditary disease.
Harry had certainly asked Noah to keep it a secret, but Noah was also afraid that if Finn discovered this himself later on, it would trigger uncontrollable consequences.
"Haven't you also lacked real contact with the core affairs of the Osborn Group before? Aren't you afraid that you might also find the pressure too great?" Noah was naturally worried about Finn's mental state, fearing that he might take on too much pressure in order to help Harry.
Not at all." After all, Finn had accompanied many Hosts in managing the company many times; after all, since his dear Host was going to reach the pinnacle of life, he had to be successful in his career. "It's just this kind of brainwork; being smart is enough.
The young man's green eyes shimmered with a casual smile, his tone carried a sense of nonchalance.
Finn was, of course, very confident in his high-spec System Brain, after all, he had served over a hundred Hosts.
Noah: ".."
He stared at Finn's excessively handsome face, his heart filled with nothing but speechless frustration.
—Are the brains of these Osborn family members some kind of limited edition, hand-polished by God himself?
Sometimes, when facing Finn, even Noah would feel both jealous and annoyed.
Finn had planned long ago to clear all the debts he owed for his drawings before Halloween; except for one task to play a rat on the set of Rat Rise, he had turned down everything else. Then, on the day after Halloween, which was November 1st, he rushed off to start working at the Osborn Group.
When Manager Daniel, Finn's former boss, saw Finn coming to the group to work again, his mental state completely collapsed.
—He even told the CEO back then that his younger brother drew hamsters every single day..
Who would have thought! Young Master Osborn actually used hamsters to set the whole internet ablaze!
—He's practically using real-world action to teach him, the Brand Promotion Department Manager, how to do promotion!
Why don't you just hold a training session for our department alone!
This time, when Finn returned to the Osborn Group, he was no longer an employee of the Brand Promotion Department, as Harry Osborn had directly granted him an appointment as a Vice President of the Group. Finn Osborn was currently a major trending topic, one could say he was an individual whom every media outlet was scrambling to interview. Not to mention, his perfect, last-minute rescue during the previous Osborn Group new product launch, the subsequent surge in Osborn Group's stock prices, were more than enough to drown out all the skeptical voices regarding "Young Master Osborn."
The approval of this appointment encountered no resistance; after all, since taking power, Harry Osborn's performance had shown that he was a decisive and cold-blooded dictator. The board of directors also knew that at this time, questioning his qualifications or abilities would be utterly useless; instead, it would only be walking straight into Harry's line of fire and inviting unnecessary trouble.
Marcus and the board members who had sided with him had just been kicked out of the loop, so at this moment, no one dared to make a sound.
The Board of Directors, on the contrary, felt curious—the friction between these two brothers was something everyone could see, so had they reconciled now? Or had Finn and Harry reached some secret deal in private?
After Finn officially became a core high-level executive of the Osborn Group, he felt no sense of pride or smugness. To better facilitate contact with the core affairs of the Osborn Group, Harry directly kept Finn by his side; wherever Harry went, Finn followed.
In short, you could say it was an extremely flexible working mechanism—
Aside from sleeping, it was all work.
[My good days are truly over!]
Finn maintained a calm exterior, but in reality, he was already complaining wildly to System PP in his heart.
[This is truly no way for a human to live!]
I've already become human, so why do I still have to live such a miserable life!
Finn remembered complaining to System PP at the very beginning that he had no desire to inherit the group; with this much time spent sitting here in meetings, why not do something much more fun? Having finally become a human, was he meant to live just to attend meetings!?
And now—
The past is not worth looking back on.
The lengthy meeting continued, Finn's thoughts drifted away uncontrollably once again.
My previous Host once told me that people always end up becoming the very thing they once hated most in the future," Finn thought dejectedly, "It turns out that saying is truly not a lie.
[Misery Value detected rising, Misery Value +0.5%]
[??] System PP also didn't expect that his Host, while inheriting the family business, could actually rack up Misery Value.
—This is truly too much misery.
—To forcibly weld a soul yearning for freedom onto a cold workstation.
Host, this is actually good news, isn't it?" System PP pondered for a moment before cautiously speaking up to comfort him, "At least you've found a new solution. Who knows, if you manage to endure until retirement in this Vice President position, you might even accumulate enough Misery Value.
Finn: ".." Stop talking, just thinking about it makes it even more miserable.
[PP, once again, you use your cold, emotionless mouth to say such chilling words.]
[System PP high-fived you. gif]
"Tired? You can go take a break for a while." After the meeting ended, Harry looked toward Finn, who had been lost in thought.
Having understood the hardships of working, Finn felt even more that Harry Osborn possessed a spirit of steel.
Finn: ".." Brother, you really can take it.
Harry was serious; his office already had a private suite that could be used for sleeping. Furthermore, Harry later specifically bought a very comfortable sofa for Finn right by the floor-to-ceiling window, within his line of sight, soft enough for Finn to sink into and sit or lie down comfortably to draw or curl up and sleep.
—He could be like a lazy little kitten.
"No need." Finn certainly couldn't rest; since he had said he would help Harry, he naturally had to produce actual results.
Finn felt that after following Harry for this period of time, he had gained sufficient experience, continuing to follow him like this would yield no results in terms of shared achievements. Now, the most important project for the new year was the construction of the New Energy Base, which was also the project previously held by Marcus. Now that Marcus was in prison due to economic crimes, natural turmoil had arisen within the group, this project was also falling behind schedule.
Let's start with this project," Finn said directly. "Leave it to me.
Harry was stunned for a moment. Setting aside the matter of his abilities, he certainly had no intention of putting so much pressure on Finn. He even felt that as long as his brother stayed peacefully by his side, even if it was just to accompany him while he handled work, it was already the best emotional comfort.
To be honest, Finn staying by his side and accompanying him at work for so long had already exceeded Harry's expectations.
"You can test me." Finn mistakenly thought Harry didn't believe in his abilities, a flash of stubborn seriousness crossing his green eyes. In truth, the thing Finn was most familiar with in the entire Osborn Group was all the projects currently in Marcus's hands. After all, once he had let System PP infiltrate all of Marcus's information and chewed through all that complex data, he had delivered those key pieces of criminal evidence into Harry's hands.
"If I can take over the Osborn Group, you certainly can too." Harry shook his head, a rare smile spreading across his taut lips.
".. That's not what you said before," Finn couldn't help but remind him. Previously, he had been scolded by Harry so severely that he didn't even dare to speak, causing the Misery Value to increase by a hard 0.5%.
The smile on Harry Osborn's face froze instantly.
Finn, I sincerely apologize for the things I said to you before." This time, Harry looked at Finn seriously, his solemn tone carrying a sense of heartfelt sincerity, "I am your brother. If I can become the Chairman of Osborn Group, then you can too. If you want to do this project, then go for it; I will support you.
And so, Finn officially started his new position.
Immediately after, the high-level executives of the Osborn Group were all shocked.
Everyone knew that Finn Osborn currently possessed the aura of a top celebrity, becoming a focus of attention wherever he went, but he had always behaved as if he were "unfocused on his proper duties." It had reached the point where everyone assumed that even if Finn decided on a whim to get involved in the business of the Osborn Group, he would still be assigned to tasks that aligned with his expertise, such as the Brand Promotion Department or the Marketing Department.
It wasn't until Finn Osborn took over the New Energy Base project that everyone realized—
The Young Master just loves to play, but that doesn't mean.. he isn't a genius.
Once Young Master Osborn gets into a competitive streak, he can outcompete everyone without distinction.
No one had ever seen a Finn like this.
He was like a perpetual motion machine, just like his brother.
The brain can always operate at high speed; whenever those thorny problems reached him, he could always break through them quickly. After Marcus and the directors associated with him were kicked out of the game, Harry, who was exhausted both physically and mentally at the time, was also unable to be in two places at once. Unable to find a suitable successor for the time being, he simply set aside the affairs of the New Energy Base for a while.
Finn's sudden appointment was no different from inheriting a complete mess.
