　　Chapter 24: My Company Doesn’t Keep Waste (13)

“So is she the mysterious President of Huan Yuan who never shows up in public?”

“She’s a woman.”

“A handsome and beautiful woman.” A woman in a beautiful dress looked at the stairs and said, “If I were Lin Siya, I would never leave Huan Yuan. If I can see Mr. Yuan every day, I’m willing to go to Huan Yuan to mop the floor.”

The other woman standing next to her said sarcastically, “If you go to mop the floor, you can check if President Yuan is interested to look at you.”

“When I was in college, I was at least a department’s flower anyway, so I don’t think Mr. Yuan would mind having an extra flower to look at.” The previous woman said, and raised her chin quite confidently.[1]

“Haha, so funny, if you are the department flower, then Lin Siya is recognized as the number one school flower, Miss, how can you compare with CEO Lin? You can’t compete at both beauty and talent, and you can’t be a vase, so you can only dream on.”[2]

The woman at the cocktail party, perhaps because she heard this, subconsciously took out a small mirror and looked at her face, and finally looked depressed, “If I had known this, I would have studied harder. So it won’t be so bad that I can’t even worth to be a vase for President Yuan today.”

Gu Yan’s family stood in a corner, it was as if the people at the cocktail party didn’t see them.

Just kidding, this is a business cocktail party hosted by President Qin himself, and they wouldn’t dare to leave a bad impression on him by talking on someone he didn’t want to make a deal with. Jian Jia’s eyes were red, Gu Yan was wiping her tears. She heard what the women were saying.

She knew all of these women, and none of them had simple educational background, nor were they as what they have said that they were unattractive and untalented. On the contrary, these women’s educational backgrounds were at least a university graduate, and many had studied abroad. What they call unattractive were because they only looked pale when compared to Lin Siya.

Jian Jia bit her lip, her family wasn’t well off, she didn’t have much time to study hard, nor did she have the money to study further, only a three year college diploma. At first, she didn’t think much about this, as long as she was with Gu Yan.

But now she sees that Gu Yan is being neglected by President Qin, and even those who used to befriend them are standing on the sidelines, not even talking to them. It had been a long time since she had felt indifference, compared to the feeling she had felt ten minutes earlier when she was surrounded by the proud women.

Even though those people weren’t looking at them, she still felt a lot of mockery and malicious eyes, and she subconsciously pulled Gu Rui into her arms, trying not to let him feel the malice of those around him towards her family. She hung her head and whispered to Gu Yan, “Ah Yan, can we go back?”

“Ah Yan, am I giving you a hard time?” She added; “Ah Yan, she’s back… I’ve heard she’s not easy to deal with now,” She said to Gu Yan with reddened eyes. She bit her lip as if she had made a big decision, “Maybe I’d better take Xiao Rui and leave, I really don’t want Xiao Rui to be hurt, he’s still a child, he doesn’t deserve this, Ah Yan, I love you very much, but I love Xiao Rui even more, I’m sorry…”

Gu Yan hugged Jian Jia in his arms and kissed her forehead, “Don’t worry, it’s just two lost opportunities. Even if President Qin and Huan Yuan want to take action against my Gu family, they have to weigh the consequences, and there are quite a few people who are watching Huan Yuan.”

“JiaJia, don’t say anything about leaving me again, okay?”

Jian Jia hesitated as Gu Yan looked at her affectionately and he continued, “Trust me, I will protect you and our Xiao Rui.”

Eventually, Jian Jia compromised. She was so sad if she had to leave, she couldn’t bear to part with the man who loved her with all his heart. She couldn’t imagine a future without him. How gray her world would be.

“Let’s go, it’s just just a cocktail party anyway. I, Gu Yan, don’t think its worth to participate.” Gu Yan took Jian Jia in his arms, and Jian Jia took Gu Rui in hers, and the family quietly left the lively reception.

The women who were chatting also noticed that family who left. When they’re gone, they just looked at each other and shaking their heads.

“Back then, I used to envy Jian Jia. She was plain and ordinary, so it was amazing that she was liked by the president Gu. Wherever she went in this city, it was so incomparably bright, as long as President Gu is present, he will always look at her with a doting look in his eyes. He was willing to spend money at her. Risking everything for her… What a desirable love. I was also envious, they have a smart and beautiful child.”

“What about now?”

The woman who spoke took a sip of red wine and lost her smile, “Now I want to be Lin Siya, not Jian Jia,” The pretty woman’s eyes shone, “Gu Yan is just like that, not as beautiful as my Goddess.”

“Your…. Goddess?”

The woman’s cheeks were flushed, she was a little shy, and she said in a loud voice, “President Yuan, my Goddess is president Yuan,” After a pause, she added, “The Male God is also her.”[3]

The men in the room heard this and lowered their heads in shame, they have never thought that one day they would be compared with a woman. They noticed many women in the room nodding their heads in agreement and sighed. When the think of that gentle and graceful woman just now, their heart couldn’t help but beat a little, they can’t help but say, that woman was really attractive, to be looked at by that gentle eyes, the heart is going to be extremely pleased.

In the car, Gu Rui threw himself into Jian Jia’s arms and looked at Gu Yan with uncertainty, “Dad, are you sure you won’t abandon me and my mom for that bad woman?”

“Of course not, Xiao Rui, what makes you think that?”

Gu Rui hesitated, “Since I was born, I lived with my mother, and whenever she went to work, she would put me aside, and many people would ask me where my father had gone. I said I have no daddy. They all looked at me and Mom with a very strange looks. Then I heard them said that it must have been Dad who abandoned us for some other woman. Dad, you’ve abandoned us once, and I’m not sure you’ll abandon us again.”

Gu Rui’s words were distressing for both Jian Jia and Gu Yan. She held Gu Rui in her arms, “Xiao Rui, I’m sorry, it’s mommy who is very timid and selfish, unable to protect you. Mom will never say anything about leaving your father again, and your father has said he’ll never abandoned us.”

“That’s right Xiao Rui, dad won’t abandon you. You have to persuade your mother not to leave your father.” The family became warm and cozy again.

Gu Rui sat between Jian Jia and Gu Yan, his face beaming with joy as he remembered the arrogant woman at the cocktail party, his beautiful eyes were twinkling, “Daddy, what is that bad woman doing now? It seemed like she’s difficult to deal with?”

Gu Yan didn’t think too much about it and told him Lin Siya’s accomplishment. As she listened, Jian Jia’s eyes glittered with gloom. In fact, the only thing she had won over Lin Siya was Gu Yan’s heart. She couldn’t be compared with her. Whenever Lin Siya went, the spotlight could only be on her.

As they came back at the Gu’s mansion, Gu Rui got off from Gu Yan. “Dad, Mom, I’ll go to my room first, I’m a little tired and want to sleep, please don’t disturb me.”

“Ok, good boy, go to sleep.” She saw that Gu Rui seemed to have forgotten what has happened today, Jian Jia was much relieved. Today, the things she has encountered made her very sad, and she couldn’t spare the energy to put Gu Rui to sleep.

Gu Rui returned to his room and locked the door. He didn’t go to sleep as he said. Instead, he quietly opened his exclusive laptop, his tiny fingers typed rapidly on the keyboard, his little face was looking very serious. “Bad woman, I won’t let you take my dad away.” He said.

“President Yuan is really young and talented, she has created the miraculous Huan Yuan Medicine company within one year.” With an appreciative smile on his face, President Qin said with a sigh, “No wonder Xiao Lin was so confident to make Huan Yuan big, it turned out Huan Yuan’s President Yuan is the best.”

Ah Xin smiled and said, “But I only encountered some opportunities, not as good as President Qin. In the future, I’ll have to rely on President Qin for many things, and get more advice from him.”

“You’re very humble,” President Qin said, shaking his head. “President Yuan is really too humble. Seeing Huan Yuan’s current prospects, it’s only a matter of time before you will catch up with my Qin’s family,” He said. “In the future, when we could associate on the same projects, I do hope that President Yuan will give me priority to let us work together.”

“Of course, President Qin is a long-time customer of Huan Yuan, he is worthy of cooperation.” said Ah Xin.

Ah Xin said calmly. President Qin thought she was strange, President Yuan hasn’t reached thirty years old. Lin Siya was cautious when facing him, yet this president Yuan ‘s attitude was different, not the same at all. President Yuan always gave him an impression that she was planning everything yet she didn’t care about anything, which was a bit strange, but that didn’t stop them from having a good conversation.

During their conversation, Ah Xin’s assistant hurried to her side and whispered in her ear. Ah Xin’s face still calm, picked up the phone and said to President Qin, “Something happened in the company, do you mind if I take care of it first?”

“It’s no problem at all. The company is more important, I have a lot of time today. I can wait.”

Ah Xin nodded and answered the phone in front of President Qin, “What’s wrong?”

“Big Sister Yuan, the company’s computers were attacked by unknown hackers, all the remote monitoring surveillance are now controlled by the other party, while all our computers show a pig’s head image.”

She was particularly puzzled as why this hacker would attack their remote surveillance. The remote surveillance was just some stores, it’s not confidential at all, if it was, the company would have used the intranet and would have hired a powerful computer expert to take over.

“I’ve already asked someone to contact a computer expert,” She said.

“No need, I’ll take care of it from here,” Ah Xin said casually. Chen Yi was startled, “Big Sister Yuan, do you… have a computer expert over there?”

“Yes.”

Ah Xin replied that there was someone who is a computer expert on her side.

Chen Yi hang up the phone, trusting Ah Xin so much that she didn’t know that Ah Xin was going to fix it herself.

“Bring me a laptop,” Ah Xin says to her assistant.

Lin Siya asked, “Ah Xin, what’s wrong?” President Qin was also curious as why the young President Yuan was so calm when her assistant was so nervous. He waited with great interest, today President Yuan has given him so many surprises.

“The company’s computer was hacked,” Ah Xin said flatly.

Lin Siya: Why did you say that so calmly? Shouldn’t you have changed your complexion and told President Qin right away that you need to be excused?

President Qin: “……” He didn’t understand at all.

Soon, the assistant brought the laptop over, Ah Xin opened it in front of everyone, then placed her beautiful fingers on the keyboard, clicking sounds were heard, as if the fingers were dancing to a rhythm.

Everyone, including President Qin, was dumbfounded and confused by the constantly flashing codes in the notebook. Even Lin Siya was stunned. ‘Is Ah Xin a computer expert?’

Soon, there is a red dot in the laptop screen, even if they don’t know Ah Xin’s operation, but they feel that the red dot is the hacker that Ah Xin is trying to track.

But the red dot doesn’t seem to notice that Ah Xin is tracking it, it just keeps moving slowly in a certain direction until the laptop’s background changes. If they weren’t mistaken, this is a laptop with all sorts of mini-games and some applicable computer software.

When the people saw the desktop’s background, they all looked a bit speechless, it was a family portrait of three people.

President Qin was the first to sneer, “Gu Yan.”

“No,” Ah Xin said, “Gu Yan’s son.”

President Qin snapped, “It’s all the same. What kind of parents raise this kind of children. He is young and smart but he did such thing. The Gu family’s parenting style is really not good.”

“President Yuan, do you want to call the police?” President Qin asked, “If we call the police on such a matter, the Gu family will lose face again.”

Ah Xin smiled shallowly and said, “No, he’s just child, calling the police won’t do any good, the Gu family will lose face for a while, but the young son of the Gu family will attract a lot of attention.” She looked down and smiled, “Children like to play around, so I’ll give him a chance to mend his ways.”

President Qin thought that her current smile was a bit cold. He thought that this young President Yuan wasn’t someone who would let the Gu family off so easily. Why didn’t she call the police to report, and even said that children liked playing, he wondered.

As soon as Ah Xin cleaned up the virus, she found out there was a hidden account who was communicating with Gu Rui’s account, she recovered the deleted files, and learned that Gu Rui has inadvertently learned from a hacker on the Internet, but neither party has revealed their real name or address.

With a smile, Ah Xin deleted both accounts and erased all traces of their existence, making sure that they could no longer connect, and didn’t touch anything else. As for her company’s computer, she reset the firewall and put math, physics, chemistry, and all kinds of other difficult questions on each layer of firewall.[4]

Even Lin Siya, a super talented student, who has studied abroad, was puzzled when she saw these dizzying questions, “Ah Xin, you are poisonous, you have to solve these multiple questions, elementary school, middle school, high school, university… and the difficulty level each layer is different, do you do you also want to put some oracle script or even oracle bone scripts on it?”[5]

President Qin laughed. He didn’t understand what Ah Xin was trying to do, and it was hard for him to ask. But he was really impressed by this President Yuan’s greatness. She was really worthy to start a surveillance and anti-theft company, her own computer skills were excellent.

At the same time, Gu Rui, who was putting viruses on the Huan Yuan’s monitor in his room, suddenly found that all his viruses had been cleaned up, and his face was tense, and he started to type on the keyboard to put up the virus again. A security firewall question pop up on his monitor.

He laughed disdainfully, how could these simple firewalls defy him? He quickly unlocked one layer of the firewall, and just as he was about to crack the second layer, a math question popped up. He stared at the math problem for a while, but it was an elementary school math question, which wasn’t difficult at all, and he solved it quickly.

After solving the second level, a physics question popped up, which was a junior high school knowledge, and even if Gu Rui was smart, he hasn’t learned junior high school physics yet. He used the search function, but he couldn’t find any similar type of questions, so he stared at the physics questions for a long time, and finally had to go to the Internet to browse for junior high school physics questions, completely forgetting to release the virus at the monitoring system.

In the middle of the night, Gu Rui solved the physics problem and cracked the third layer, not knowing that there was a fourth layer. This time there was a chemistry question, and he…. stared at the chemistry question for a long time, the unlearned symbols, and finally had to go contact his mysterious master on the Internet, unexpectedly he found out that his account had been erased and his master’s contact information was gone.

He accidentally wandered into a mysterious forum, so he went there again, not expecting that ten questions would pop up right after he entered. It’s not as simple as elementary and junior high school, and it’s not easy even for college students to get it right.

Seeing this, Gu Rui panicked. But he didn’t give in and wanted to compete with the mysterious person, who must have been a Huan Yuan’s computer expert, and he thought this person wouldn’t be a match for his master if he could contact him.

Gu Rui studied all the complicated questions all night without solving any of them, and finally lay down to sleep, exhausted. He didn’t forget to turn off his computer before he went to sleep. He didn’t believe he would never be able to solve these problems, and when he did crack it, he would definitely give that person a hard time.

Ah Xin, on the other hand, had a good time chatting with President Qin last night, and both parties said goodbye reluctantly.

Ah Xin and Lin Siya both changed their residence, their villas were adjacent to each other, and the driver drove them to the outside of the villa. Lin Siya got out of the car and subconsciously grabbed Xin. “It’s a little dark outside, I don’t want to fall.” Lin Siya said, uncomfortably. The good news is that the distant light wasn’t bright enough to illuminate her flushed cheeks.

Lin Siya glanced at Ah Xin’s pretty face and said, “Ah Xin, why didn’t you report that the company was being hacked?” If they called the police, the police would certainly ask the Gu family to give them an explanation.

Ah Xin smiled lightly and said, “I’m not interested in helping Gu Yan and Jian Jia to educate their child.”

Lin Siya was stunned, “Is that the only reason?”

“Other wise, what does Siya think?” Lin Siya became a little uncomfortable, “I thought you actually didn’t care about that child.”

“Good and evil is the same, whether it’s big or small. Someone who has done something wrong and caused harm to another deserves to be punished, whether a child or an adult, and it doesn’t mean because he is a child can he get away with his sin.”

Lin Siya was still puzzled, “Then what is his punishment?”

“Do you remember that there was a story named The Pity of Zhong Yong from the Song Dynasty?”

Ah Xin’s face looked so gentle, but her words were chilling. She wasn’t a kind person, nor was she a rule-follower, but when it didn’t touch her bottom line, she was happy to coexist under the rules with those around her.

Lin Siya was stunned, but she seemed to understand what Ah Xin meant. The story of The Pity of Zhong Yong is about a child who was born smart, but without a good education, he ended up being a nobody. At the age of seven, Gu Rui had learned computer skills and attacked their company, so it can be said that he was really smart and talented.

Even if Jian Jia and Gu Yan hadn’t consciously tried to cultivate his talent, the Gu family’s grandfather would have had some intention, and as things stand, Gu Rui must have been secretly learning.

Even though Gu Rui is smart and talented, this is his ace card, and even though he is always defending the family, he still doesn’t feel safe in the family. The old man of the family wasn’t satisfied with Jian Jia at all, and it’s thanks to Gu Rui that Jian Jia stayed in the family. He wasn’t planning to expose his talent, but he has his own plans, for example, from time to time he make those unhappy with Jian Jia suffer.

“I understand,”

Ah Xin looked at her, “Does Siya think it’s no good of me to treat a child like this?”

“No, Ah Xin, don’t get me wrong,” Lin Siya grabbed Xin’s arm in a hurry, “Why would I think of that? Even if Ah Xin didn’t deal with him, he had it all coming. To tell the truth, eventhough he’s just a kid, I really wanted to slap him before, I’ve never seen such an annoying, arrogant and rude kid.”

Ah Xin smiled. “Gu Rui’s parents didn’t care him enough as they raise him, so I think it’s better to let him disappear into obscurity to help ease the busy police officers’ burden.”

Lin Siya burst out laughing, her nervousness disappeared. She remembered the talk on the runway bridge, Ah Xin said that if she jumped off the runway, the whole city would be affected, and she couldn’t refute it.

“Ah Xin.”

“Hm?”

Lin Siya looked at Xin’s face and curved her lips, “You are so beautiful today.” Siya thought Ah Xin was too pretty, so pretty that she wanted to kiss her. But she didn’t dare, for fear that Ah Xin would ko her with one punch.

“Siya, didn’t you say that I’m disturbing the city’s view?”

Lin Siya blushed, “That’s just an angry remark.” Siya took Ah Xin’s arm and yawned lazily, saying, “Ah Xin, I’ll stay here tonight. It’s too late, I don’t want to go back home.”

Ah Xin glanced at their location. If her eyesight was correct, the distance between her villa and Lin Siya’s villa was about the same, just three steps away. Ah Xin glanced at Lin Siya, who was pretending to be sleepy and yawning while stealing glances at her, she nodded, “Ok.”

---

“President Gu, in the past three months, Huanyuan Pharmacy has launched several effective and affordable drugs, and many hospitals are now reluctant to renew their contracts with us. If this continues, I’m afraid that our similar medicines will be eliminated.” The sales manager’s face was particularly ugly, “President Gu, I don’t know what ace cards they have on their side, we have to think of something.”

Other people at the meeting also looked gloomy, including important shareholders of Gu. They had heard that Lin Siya was in charge of the launch of Huanyuan’s pharmaceutical products, and that the fact that they were openly competing with their pharmaceutical products must have been a revenge against Gu Yan.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Gu family had an absolute stake in the company, they would have driven Gu Yan out of office. The fact that Huanyuan had the backing of a big mountain, the friendship with Qin’s family, and the assurance of quality and efficacy of the medicine, not too cheap and not too expensive, was perfect in the eyes of many hospitals.

Huan Yuan Pharmaceuticals just wanted to launch new products. If they remove Gu Yan from power, Lin Siya would probably not eradicate them all. It’s better for businessmen to have an escape route, But they knew Gu Yan did to her in the past, they were too ashamed to ask Lin Siya who is on frontline. There’s no reason for her to let go, either. This is all Gu Yan’s terrible mess.

Gu Yan was also taken aback in surprise, Gu family’s standing for so many years, in addition to reputation, is the fact that the relationship with major hospitals is quite good. Many hospitals have heard of Gu family and gave preferential to their drugs. But any relationship, such as word of mouth. They weren’t profitable. The cost of their drugs is high, the price is expensive, and the effect is worse than Huan Yuan Pharmaceuticals’ medicine, so the hoapitals will definitely give priority to medicine with good efficacy like Huan Yuan Pharmaceuticals’ product, and the benefits they gained will be great.

“I have heard that Huan Yuan Medicine is also researching health products.”

“Not only health products, but also beauty products,” said a managerial staff, “This is exactly the direction we are going to in Gu’s, researching natural beauty products, yet they seem to be ahead of the curve, and are now in the trial period.”
“At first ‘new life’ was contributed to the country, but they did not stop the research, my side has been keeping an eye on in, it is said that there has been progress, that research project is called ‘rebirth’.” [6]

At the end of the meeting, Gu Yan was also a little tired, the rise of Huanyuan Medicine was really too fast. For the past three months, he has been under unprecedented pressure. Right now, there was nothing that could be done unless they could launch a medical product with better results than Huanyuan, or some new products.

Lin Siya.

Gu Yan’s eyes are heavy, and this woman is really his nemesis. Although she didn’t threaten his wife and children, she did threaten Gu family.

---

Huan Yuan company’s CEO, Lin Siya, walked out of the office and saw Mu Sen holding a bouquet of red roses, her eyes flashing with impatience. When Lin Siya walked out of the office, she saw Mu Sen holding a bouquet of roses. Once or twice is fine. She has refused him many times. This Mu Sen is even more difficult to deal than before. Back then, Mu Sen wasn’t a nuisance. But right now this Musen was really annoying.

She was not the same simple lady as before, and Mu Sen wasn’t really fond of her, so did he find it interesting to be entangled in this way every day?

“YaYa, you’re out.” Mu Sen had a nice smile on his face and walked up to her, “Red rose, it suits you the best.”

Lin Siya didn’t answer and looked up at Mu Sen, “Mu Sen, I think it’s been made very clear that I haven’t chosen you in the past and I won’t choose you today, I’m only willing to be your friend, if you do that again, I won’t even treat you as a friend.”

Mu Sen’s face changed slightly, but his smile remained, “YaYa, when you chose Gu Yan, Gu Yan abandoned you, aren’t you willing to give me a chance today?”

“I’ve never forgotten you all these years, YaYa, give me a chance, okay?”

“Sorry, no way.” Lin Siya decisively refused, “Mu Sen, I don’t have any feelings for you, never had any, I hope you won’t bother me again.”

She staggered away from Mu Sen and walked away quickly. Mu Sen wanted to catch up, but saw a white car parked next to Lin Shiya, the door was opened by someone inside, and a beautiful woman stepped out. He knows this person, Yuan Xin, the president of Huan Yuan, and he didn’t dare to go again. He stared at Lin Siya and left with a sullen look in his eyes.

“Admirer?” Ah Xin glanced at the direction Mu Sen had left and asked.

Lin Siya’s face didn’t look good, “Just a guy who can only big and sweet talking. I have refused him several times, but he asked me to repeat myself, so annoying.”

The annoying thing is not that Mu Sen is pursuing her, but the inevitable look in Mu Sen’s eyes that makes her particularly uncomfortable. She had many suitors, most of whom that has politely withdrawn after being refused twice, and some of whom were her partners, none of whom were as stubborn and apparently affectionate as Mu Sen, who had actually caused her a lot of trouble in her life.

“Get in the car, I’ve made you soup.”

Lin Siya smiled again when she heard Ah Xin has made her soup, and hugged Ah Xin, lying beside her, smelling the fragrance of the soup. “Ah Xin, how come you’re so good at making soup when you’ve got so much to deal with?”

“You sounded a bit sour.”[7]

Ah Xin got into the car, sat in the driver’s seat, and unconsciously fastened Lin Siya’s seat belt before starting the car. At first Lin Siya blushed, but now she accepted the gesture.

This was Ah Xin’s initiative, not her shameless request, and she enjoyed it in her heart. When she was hugging Ah Xin just now, her lips were close to Ah Xin’s neck, and I don’t know what would have happened if she had kissed her.

Lin Siya held her hands on her blushing face and Ah Xin noticed and asked, “Hot?”

“A little.” Lin Siya tilted her head to one side, her heart was hot, so hot that even an air conditioner couldn’t cool it, and not even an ice cube could cool it.

How can she confess her love to such an excellent girl like Ah Xin? If Ah Xin knew what she was thinking, would she be disgusted with her? Lin Siya felt depressed at the thought that she might be rejected. Once she thought she had a crush on her, but after more than three years, she took care of her well but has never been ambiguous.

The only good thing was the fact that Ah Xin has rejected many numerous suitors. The problem is that there are many men and women pursuing her, and many demons in the company who want to be her assistant. If she wasn’t in charge in such an important place at Huanyuan Medical, she would have wanted to be Ah Xin’s assistant and be able to warm her bed.

Ah Xin glanced at Lin Siya, whose face was flushed red, “Is it the heat, or are you sick?”

At the intersection, Ah Xin made a U-turn, driving to the nearest hospital. Siya has been so busy lately and Ah Xin didn’t know if there was anything wrong with her body. Besides, Siya hadn’t had a physical exam in a long time, so Ah Xin thought she could go for a checkup.

Lin Siya was confused as she was pulled out of the car, and was sent to the doctor. In a daze, she got a thorough examination. When she came out, she was still a bit confused.

“Ah Xin, I’m not sick, I’m fine.”

Xin ignored her and told her to sit and wait for the results of the medical reports, Lin Siya is really healthy.

“I told you I’m not sick.” Lin Siya didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry, but her heart felt warm when she thought of how much Ah Xin cared for her. She took Ah Xin’s arm affectionately, which to an outsider would look like a gesture of two good friends who say, “I’m hungry. Let’s go home and have some soup”.

“Ah Xin, the ‘rebirth’ research has come to an end,” Lin Siya suddenly remembered the good news, “Although it wasn’t to the extent you proposed. Its about half as good as it should be. I’ll ask then to make a trial product first and we can experiment to see its effect.”

The “Rebirth” project is the one that Lin Siya thought wouldn’t be successful at first, out of the projects Ah Xin has proposed. She also understood that once the project was successful, Huan Yuan would become world-famous. Thinking about the result, Lin Siya’s heart was boiling. Many people thought that the ace of Huan Yuan was the medical researchers, but they didn’t know that the real ace card was Ah Xin.[8]

She was the only one who knew that all the precious data came from her. She wondered how amazing Ah Xi is. ‘Ah Xin. How can you be so charming and make her willing to fall into the abyss?’

“Well, send more people to protect the medical researchers, and make sure the research data doesn’t leak out.”

“Don’t worry, these were all taken care of.”

Of course, there was no way to hide the matter of the “rebirth” project of the Huanyuan research, so much so that as soon as the results of the research were released, many people knew about it. The first to know was the Gu family, and all the members of the Gu family were in a state of dismay.

Once the “rebirth” is confirmed to have no harmful side effects, no matter how demanding the conditions are, it will definitely go into production, and by then there will be nothing left for them to do. They were truly astonished by Huanyuan’s ability to innovate.

---

Gu Yan was summoned back by the Gu family’s old man because of this incident. In the face of his grandfather, Gu Yan, who had been suffering from the shock of the past few months, could not hold his head up and was very quiet.

“What do you think about the ‘rebirth’ from Huan Yuan Medicine?”

Gu Yan said in a deep voice, “There is no solution.”

“What a stupid answer! I handed over Gu to you, and you gave me a stupid answer?” Old man Gu was furious, “Is it because you did your wife too many times has made you forgotten your responsibility to the Gu family? First the incident a few years ago, your feud with Lin Siya, you didn’t clean up cleanly, and then you have offended the Qin family. Gu Yan, you disappointed me so much.”

It had been a long time since the old man had spoken to him like that. If he hadn’t quickly returned Gu to the right path, he’s afraid Gu would have fallen into the hands of his illegitimate son.

“I was most satisfied with Lin Siya back then. If it weren’t for her, you won’t return to the right path either.” Grandfather Gu sighed. “There’s no point in talking about it. I’ll give you one more chance. Get the results of the ‘Rebirth’ research to our hand.” [9]

“This……” Gu Yan was hesitant. After all, it’s against the law, his main reason is that Gu family’s backing is very big. Once exposed ……

Grandfather Gu sneered. “As long as it succeed, the means won’t matter. Just make it clean, Gu Yan. You can’t let me down this time. You’re no good compared to your brother.”

As Gu Yan heard Grandfather Gu mention his illegitimate son, Gu Yan’s face paled and he didn’t care anymore. He immediately replied, “I know, Dad, I’ll make you satisfied.”

---

“The medical researchers are well protected, and their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are under the full authority of Huanyuan, and they have professional bodyguards 24 hours a day.

Gu Yan twisted his eyebrow as he heard the results. He said, “Then let’s break through from the other side.”

“President Gu, if you want to enter Huanyuan Medicine, I’m afraid only Huanyuan’s people will be able to do so.” The assistant said in a low voice, “First of all, we have found out where that precious research results were kept. Although we can’t start with those major medical researchers. But there were so many people in Huanyuan Medicine, we can find someone to do it.”

Gu Yan’s eyebrow relaxed, “What did you find out?”

“We got close to someone who used to be a medical researcher’s assistant and got some information from him.” The assistant smiled, “We found out that there was a chance that the research results would be held by Lin Siya.”

Gu Yan stood up, “Really?”

“We’ve investigated, and it’s very likely that Lin Siya has it.” The assistant smiled, “Now it’s up to President Gu to order us how to get it.”

“Find a way to get it, no matter what it takes, and do it clean,” Gu Yan said coldly. Since Lin Siya is going ruin him, so this time he wanted to ruin her with no hope of reverie.

“Understood.”

Lin Siya has been in a good mood lately. Since the research results of ‘Rebirth’ was out, her work has become much easier so she cane to see Ah Xin whenever she can. However, she was a kitchen killer and can only buy food from restaurants every time she comes over.[10]
The elevator opened, someone inside came out in a hurry and almost bumped into her. The woman said she was sorry and looked up to see it was Lin Siya with an apologetic face.

“I’m really sorry, I was in such a hurry.” This person is Zhang Ping, who was only a small supervisor in the customer service department, a woman who is extremely hardworking and lost her career promotion for the sake of her children and family.[11]

Lin Siya was curious, “Xiao Zhang, you’re in such a hurry, what happened?”

“My family called, my husband is in trouble, CEO Lin, let’s talk about it another day, I’m leaving first.” Zhang Ping’s face didn’t look good, and she hurriedly ran out with her bag in hand, it looked like there was really urgent matters.

Lin Siya called out, “If you have any difficulties, remember to come to my office.” Zhang Ping didn’t turn around, and Lin Siya was a bit helpless, the other party probably didn’t hear her.

“I just ran into Zhang Ping.”

Lin Siya opened the insulated box, put it in front of Ah Xin and handed her the chopsticks. Sighing, she said “ Ah Xin, I give up. I’m no match for you. The food I cooked may be poisonous. The food in this restaurant isn’t bad, not as good as what you do, though. Let’s just eat it, and you can go back and make another meal after work.”

As Ah Xin ate her rice, she glanced at her, “Your planning is very good.”

“It’s because the food Ah Xin made is delicious.” Lin Siya casually sat on a chair, her eyes full of smiles, “It’s your fault, too. You’re the one taking care of my appetite.”

Ah Xin smiled, “Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?”

“I’ve already ordered the foodstuff online, and it will be delivered when we get back home.”

“You are very well prepared. CEO Lin is really perfect.” Ah Xin paused and asked, “What happened to Zhang Ping?” Zhang Ping is an old employee of Huanyuan, and Huanyuan gave good care of its old employees.[12]

“I don’t know, she simply rushed out, you can ask her when she comes. If the company can help, go help her. It isn’t easy for her. She’s obviously capable, but she has to take care of her dragging family, so she doesn’t have much chance of promotion.”

Ah Xin didn’t refuse.

The next day, Zhang Ping came.

Ah Xin didn’t forget what happened yesterday, so she asked her assistant to call her, “I heard from Siya that something happened at your house.”

“There is indeed such a thing.” Zhang Ping looked at Ah Xin, “It’s not a big deal, it’s been solved, thank you for your concern.”

Ah Xin nodded, “If you have any problems, please don’t hesitate to ask the company.”

“Yes, I will.”

Ah Xin stared at Zhang Ping for a few seconds, and she became a bit nervous, “President Yuan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go down first,” she smiled, “The customer service department is busy.”

“Okay, you go ahead.”

Footnotes
1 School flower: popular girl
2 vase: pretty people with no talent, something good to look at, or arm candy
3 Nu shen: lit Goddess. Nan shen: lit male God aka Prince charming. So when you have a crush, depending on their gender, that’s how you refer them. But Ah Xin is both handsome and pretty so she fits both categories.
4 So Ah Xin, not only did she deleted Gu Rui’s acc, but also his Master’s Acc. Ah Xin: laughing.jpg
5 This oracle bone script is a type of veryyyy old chinese inscription. I think fl also want to said stuff about oracle (SQL) since it’s about firewall.
6 Xin Sheng: New Life. Chong Sheng: Rebirth…. Did anyone remember what I refer ‘new life’ as? Well anyway
7 Just like the slang salty, but if salty is angry, sour is more like envious and grieved
8 Its the prevs chapter I forgot which Siya asked if Ah Xin wanted to expand the business. Ah Xin went to medical field.
9 Back then, Gu Yan is a wastrel and he tried to better himself by the time Siya came back from abroad. He’s afraid of his father’s illegitimate son grabbing Gu from his hand, ironically.
10 FL’s trait in all the arcs, Ah Xin do the cooking.
11 probably cos she always rejects the chance to upgrade herself.
12 the girl who is working at cs and rejected further studies

XWT: This chapter is nearly 10,6 k long in length. Ah yeah, a novel with office works as background is incomplete without the infamous company espionage. But will it go so smoothly? Well Ah Xin is here anyway. Also she will take care of the annoying Mu Sen later. Two side plot and 3 more chapters to go. Honestly, it’s better to ask Ah Xin than betraying her. Well she already did it, so she won’t be able to escape punishment. After all, Ah Xin only asked her cos FL ask her to ask haha.
Ririka: I remembered Ningguang has her own board game called a thousand years of Liyue. Well, Ah Xin is basically taking it easy because she’s playing the world as game, that’s why President Qin is surprised why Ah Xin looked like planning but took it easy. After this arc is empire arc, 10 ch. The update time will take a bit longer than usual since its language a bit tricky to tl.
Also we’re 1/5 down of this story!!!!

Ps: the formatting once again like this cos I accidentally pasted a chinese text in the ms word and it screwed up when pasting to wordpress and became code so no first line like usual. Basically if the formatting= is different, its usually this or I accidentally use bullet numbering in android ver of ms word ==a
