Under Su Yu’s gaze, Lin Wanqing became increasingly afraid to look at him.
She had just spoken without thinking, but it seemed even more awkward after she said it.
“Are you… flirting with me?”
Su Yu’s teasing voice reached Lin Wanqing’s ears.
“No… it’s not that, I didn’t mean it like that, just now it was just… just…”
Lin Wanqing hurriedly waved her hands to deny it, but she didn’t know how to explain herself.
In the end, it was Su Yu who broke the deadlock.
“Alright, I just came here to handle some business, and happened to see you here, so I came over directly. Let’s talk about the chip instead.”
For a woman like Lin Wanqing, it was enough to tease her occasionally; teasing her too much might very likely backfire.
Lin Wanqing nodded upon hearing this, then hurriedly adjusted her emotions and took a semi-finished chip out of her bag.
“This is the prototype of the chip. According to our calculations, its performance is far superior to all the chips currently on the market, and its production cost is lower. Once we use it to make a name for ourselves, our profits will increase at least several hundred-fold.”
After speaking, Lin Wanqing looked at Su Yu expectantly, as if waiting for his shocked expression.
However, Su Yu just took the chip in his hand, examined it for a few moments, and then nodded.
“Not bad, you all did very well.”
After speaking, Lin Wanqing looked at the expressionless Su Yu in front of her in disbelief.
She really wanted to say, “Is that it? Shouldn’t you be more shocked?”
However, she didn’t say it out loud, her body slumping slightly in discouragement.
“President Su, you really are as calm as a mountain collapsing before you. Even a several hundred-fold increase in profit can’t shock you; I’m truly impressed.”
Su Yu looked at the chip in his hand without speaking, because he had long known the value of the chip, so he didn’t feel much shock about it.
It’s like when you’re binge-watching a show, and your roommate suddenly tells you the final ending of the protagonist and other characters.
It makes you want to beat them to death… or at least lowers your anticipation.
“By the way, how is Bai Mo doing now? It would be terrible if you two fell out because of me; others might think I was the one sowing discord.”
Su Yu looked at Lin Wanqing with a smile, though his words sounded quite manipulative.
“President Su, please don’t make fun of me. *Sigh*~ I had originally planned to give Bai Mo a few days off to let him reflect on his mistakes, but today he suddenly told me he wanted to resign, and no matter how I tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t listen.”
Lin Wanqing rubbed her temples helplessly; this was the first time she felt there was something even more troublesome than researching chips.
“He has one million in startup capital in his hands; perhaps he has long wanted to leave you all and start his own company to research chips as well.”
Su Yu spoke as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Wanqing was taken aback, looking at Su Yu in disbelief.
“President Su, you must be joking. How could Bai Mo possibly have that much money? And even if he did, there’s no need for him to research chips all by himself. Isn’t it better to be with us? The progress of our chip is already…” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Suddenly, Lin Wanqing seemed to think of something, and she froze instantly.
Watching the frozen expression on Lin Wanqing’s face, Su Yu was very satisfied.
“It seems President Lin has thought of it too.”
Lin Wanqing squeezed out a smile with a complicated expression.
“President Su, I believe Bai Mo wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Su Yu picked up the coffee in his hand and took a sip.
After putting the coffee down, he looked at Lin Wanqing with a sharp gaze.
“I won’t concern myself with these matters. As long as there’s no problem with the chip, say whatever you want. But if you can’t even handle this little thing well, then it can only mean my judgment of people is poor.”
Su Yu stood up and walked out of the cafe.
After a few steps, he suddenly turned back to look at Lin Wanqing.
“Lin Wanqing, I hope you won’t let me down.”
Lin Wanqing stared blankly at the receding figure of Su Yu until he disappeared.
At this moment, she was caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, she didn’t believe Bai Mo would do this, but on the other, she didn’t want to disappoint Su Yu.
Lin Wanqing gripped her phone tightly and hesitated for a long time.
It wasn’t until the sky outside grew darker that she got up and walked out of the cafe.
“Hello, Little Li, go check if Bai Mo entered the laboratory today.”
In the end, Lin Wanqing decided to check.
If she had really misunderstood Bai Mo, she could speak a good word for him in front of Su Yu, so that their relationship wouldn’t be so tense.
But the voice coming from the phone made her freeze in place instantly.
“President Lin, Bai Mo did come today. He even told me he wanted to give you a surprise and asked me not to tell you.”
Hearing the secretary’s reply, Lin Wanqing’s hands and feet went cold, and she almost dropped her phone.
“Go to the laboratory quickly and see if the experimental data is missing.”
Lin Wanqing seemed to still hold a glimmer of hope.
“Bai Mo, please don’t let me down,” Lin Wanqing muttered softly.
She really couldn’t believe that Bai Mo was actually this kind of person.
However, no matter what Lin Wanqing thought, before long, the Little Secretary’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“President Lin, it’s bad. All the data in the laboratory is gone.”
After hearing this, Lin Wanqing felt her mind go blank in an instant.
Her expression was extremely ugly, and the hand holding the phone was constantly tightening. Get faster updates on g.com.
She, who usually had a good temper, never thought she would have such an angry day.
“Organize the data and save the surveillance footage. We are going to report…”
Lin Wanqing wanted to call the police directly to get Bai Mo arrested.
But suddenly, the image of the sunny and cheerful Bai Mo from before appeared in her mind, grinning at her and calling her Sister Wanqing.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder fell, and the sky began to drizzle.
The light rain gradually intensified, and the passersby around Lin Wanqing ran to take shelter from the rain.
Soon, only Lin Wanqing was left outside, and the people nearby pointed at her, who had been drenched like a drowned rat.
“President Lin, what’s wrong? President Lin?”
The Little Secretary’s call brought Lin Wanqing back to her senses.
“Save the surveillance footage, but don’t call the police yet.”
Hearing Lin Wanqing’s words, the Little Secretary was a bit puzzled.
She clearly heard President Lin say she wanted to call the police just now, so why was she not calling the police anymore?
However, this was not something a secretary like her could ask about; she only needed to follow President Lin’s instructions.
“Alright, President Lin.”
Lin Wanqing hung up the phone and walked towards the parking lot in the rain.
Lin Wanqing found her car and sat inside.
At this moment, not only was her face cold, but her whole body was cold too.
She drove home without a word, running several red lights along the way and almost hitting someone.
After returning home, Lin Wanqing didn’t even take a shower; she took off her clothes and lay on the bed.
Bai Mo’s previous image appeared in her mind, scene by scene, but in the end, it was all shattered by the Little Secretary’s words.
Su Yu, who had already returned to the villa, pushed open the door.
It was dark inside, and there was no one there.
Su Yu turned on the lights.
The villa was as cold and quiet as always.
He scanned the room, feeling that something was missing.
“How about I get a little dog?”
Thinking this, Su Yu took out his phone and opened a chat box labeled little dog no.
