Chapter 474 What is "Refinement"? Retirement Announcement [2 Updates]

After sending the message, she leaned back in her chair, picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and said coldly, "Wait for the results. They should be out in a week at the latest."

Yan Ruoxue originally planned to submit the report a few days later.

Since Ying Zijing brought this up, she immediately reported it to the International Virus Center.

Let's see who makes a fool of themselves when the results come out.

Yan Ruoxue snorted coldly, her mood becoming even more gloomy.

At that moment, the laboratory door was knocked on.

A voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss Yan, I am Ji Yiyuan."

Yan Ruoxue turned her head: "Let him in."

The assistant immediately went to open the door.

"Miss Yan," Ji Yiyuan said respectfully, "how was it? What about Wen Fengmian—"

“Nothing to worry about.” Yan Ruoxue said calmly, “His daughter is too arrogant. She thinks that just because she is the top scorer in the college entrance examination, she is also a top figure in the scientific research field. She will stumble one day.”

Arrogance requires ability.

"I'm relieved to hear Miss Yan say that," Ji Yiyuan said with a smile. "It's their loss if they don't appreciate Miss Yan's kindness."

Yan Ruoxue looked at him and said, "Your son Ji Yundong is quite good. I've decided to have him work on my new experiment. He won't have to give up his merits. I'll ask the Inner Academy for another title for him."

"Thank you, Miss Yan." Ji Yiyuan was overjoyed. "I'll have Yun Dong come over right away, but he won't be able to participate in the experiment for a few days because he has an engagement banquet tomorrow."

Yan Ruoxue frowned: "An engagement banquet?"

"The Xiu family," Ji Yiyuan replied. "It's a granddaughter whom Old Master Xiu dotes on. After the marriage is successful, with the Xiu family involved, we won't lack funds anymore."

Yan Ruoxue nodded, feeling a little better.

There are still some discerning members in the Ji family who can recognize talent, unlike Ji Yihang's family, who are all so blind.

In the D34 laboratory.

After putting her phone into the protective bag, Ying Zijing put on gloves.

The experimental equipment in a Class D laboratory is certainly not as good as that in a Class A laboratory, but it is still quite complete.

This experiment is not difficult and does not require expensive, large-scale experimental equipment.

The experiment was conducted by Wen Fengmian, with Ying Zijin and Ji Li assisting him.

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

Ying Zijing was still focused on her experiment when Ji Li reminded her, "Ying Shen, your phone is ringing."

Ying Zijing glanced at her vibrating phone: "Wait until I finish this step."

"Take a break, Yaoyao." Wen Fengmian stopped her and handed her a tissue. "I've asked the cafeteria to send food. The experiment is going well, there's no need to rush."

Ying Zijing wiped her sweat and went to get her phone.

Fu Yunshen clearly knew he was conducting an experiment, so he didn't call, but instead sent a WeChat message.

Have you eaten yet?

Not yet, I've ordered food, waiting for it to be delivered.

Okay, eat on time. I'll remind you every day at the appointed time.

Fu Yunshen always knew very well that once his child started to take something seriously, he would neglect his health.

Ying Zijing thought for a moment and then typed a message.

[You're going to Xiaoyu's welcome party; go and help out.]

Received [emoji]

Ying Zijin stared at the hamster emoji for a long time.

Why do men still like using cute emojis these days?

**

The Nie family.

Fu Yunshen closed his phone thoughtfully, his eyelashes drooping.

"Young Master." After he finished talking, Yunshan began to report on the day's events, "Miss Xiuyu has returned to the Xiu family. The Xiu family is holding a welcome banquet for her tomorrow, and has invited many nobles from the capital. They have also sent you an invitation. Would you like to attend?"

The Venus Group is definitely one of the targets the Xiu family wants to win over.

However, Old Master Xiu also knew that Venus Group was not so easy to invite, so he just sent out a letter casually and did not expect Fu Yunshen to come.

"My girlfriend has spoken." Fu Yun Shen loosened his tie, looking languid. "Go."

Yunshan: "..."

He was finding it increasingly difficult to look their young master in the eye.

Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Just a welcome banquet?"

“No.” Yunshan frowned. “It was called a welcome banquet, but it was actually Xiu Yan’s engagement banquet. So many people are still unaware that they have been deceived. Old Master Xiu really knows how to scheme.”

“Hmm.” Fu Yunshen said calmly, “We’ll go in Xiu Yu’s name.”

The clouds and mountains conveyed the meaning.

Miss Xiuyu is Miss Ying's friend, so they naturally pay attention to her.

What exactly is "Kexiu Yan"?

Fu Yunshen stood up and walked outside.

Yunshan followed, "Young Master, where are you going? Can I help you?"

"No need," Fu Yunshen said. "Let's cook."

Yunshan stopped in time.

Yunwu, with his expressionless, stoic face, asked, "Second Brother, Young Master can cook?"

"You're stupid. You need to consider who the other person is." Yunshan said with disdain. "If the other person is Miss Ying, he will definitely cook."

“If the object of his affections were the two young masters of the Nie family, he would not only not know how to cook, but he would also force them to cook while he watched from the side.”

Clouds and Mist: "..."

**

Repairing the house.

Grandpa Xiu instructed the butler to direct the servants to busy themselves in the living room, dining room, and garden, all in preparation for Xiu Yu's return.

He was unwilling to bring Xiu Yu back.

Grandpa Xiu disliked Xiu Yu's mother, and by extension, he disliked Xiu Yu as well.

Of course, he was just an ordinary person to Xiu Yan, but he paid more attention to her because Xiu Yan had a younger brother.

Xiu Yu returned after lunch, waiting until the food had gone cold.

Grandpa Xiu, sitting in his wheelchair, raised his head, his imposing presence radiating authority: "You don't even greet your elders?"

Xiu Yu laughed: "Are you worthy?"

Old Master Xiu's face darkened instantly: "Xiu Yu!"

"Old man, I'm warning you," Xiu Yu said coldly, "In this Xiu family, I only recognize my father and his sister, who is also my aunt. As for you?"

She clapped her hands: "I wish you a speedy burial, oh no, I hope your ashes are eaten too."

Grandpa Xiu was furious, his heart and lungs twisted with rage: "Xiu Yu. You—"

Xiu Yu glanced at Old Master Xiu's legs, said nothing more, and went upstairs.

She left the Xiu family, but her room is still there.

"Grandpa, Miss Xiuyu is really..." The butler glanced upstairs, "too unruly, far inferior to Shao Ning."

Xiu Shaoning is gentle and refined, introverted, and has a very good temper.

Looking at it this way, it's actually the retouched face that makes it look more like the real person.

Grandpa Xiu waved his hand: "Call Xiu Yan here."

The butler accepted the order.

A few minutes later, he returned with Xiu Yan.

"Your agency has gone bankrupt, so just stay home and relax." Old Master Xiu said indifferently. "Everyone in high society knows your background is illegitimate, so I arranged a marriage for you. You know the man, his name is Ji Yundong."

"The Ji family has already agreed, so tomorrow is your engagement banquet. Don't mess this up for me."

Xiu Yan pursed her lips, feeling very annoyed inside, but still maintained a well-behaved demeanor: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Of course she knew Ji Yundong.

Originally, she was to be married off to Xiu Yu.

Xiu Yu can leave home and refuse marriage on his own whim, so she wants to pick up what Xiu Yu doesn't want.

On what grounds?

And they only notified her a day in advance, what do they take her for?

A tool for arranged marriage?

Xiu Yan knew that Grandpa Xiu favored boys over girls, and she even gloated to Xiu Yu that Grandpa Xiu preferred her younger brother.

But when the slap landed on her, it hurt.

"Now issue a statement announcing your retirement from the entertainment industry," Old Master Xiu said again. "The Ji family is a family of scientific researchers, and they would never want a daughter-in-law who works in the entertainment industry. They don't need you to do anything; just maintain their image."

At least with her face-shaping features, she's still considered quite good-looking among Beijing's socialites; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to debut in the entertainment industry.

Xiu Yan suppressed her discomfort and said, "I understand, Grandpa."

"Let me tell you again, don't underestimate the Ji family." Old Master Xiu saw through her thoughts and frowned. "The Ji family's international prestige is much higher than the Xiu family's. You're lucky to have this marriage."

"Once you marry into the Ji family and expand your network, who will have anything to say about you?"

Xiu Yan pursed his lips, said nothing more, and could only resign himself to returning to his room to begin writing his statement of retirement from the entertainment industry.

At 4 PM, a new trending topic appeared on the hot search list.

#Facelifting, Retire from the Entertainment Industry#

After Tianxing Entertainment collapsed, all of its stars switched companies.

Xiu Yan's fans thought she would be noticed by a better agency, but they never expected to hear her announcement of leaving the entertainment industry.

[@XiuyanV: I'm so happy to have met so many people in the entertainment industry, and my dearest fans. Thank you for your continued support. However, I can't be with you all right now; my family requires me to go home. But maybe you'll see me on TV again in the future.]

One word can cause a huge uproar.

Is my darling finally going back to inherit a fortune?!

[I'm so jealous! Others enter the entertainment industry to work, but Yan Bao is just experiencing life. There's no comparison.]

[I heard the Xiu family took a young lady back home. Is Yan Bao going back to fight against the illegitimate daughter?]

Do you still have monthly passes?

There will be more updates around 5 PM.
