Su Lin's report was exactly what Xu Shi had expected.
After all, this is the only major event in the company recently—of course, developing specialized weapons also counts, but if it were this, it probably wouldn't be Director Su's turn to report it; Jiang Chengcheng would have come on her own.
"What are the specific details?"
He even felt a sense of relief. Goodness, there's finally a result. He wondered if he had gotten used to being so busy recently, but he was finding it a little hard to adjust to a long vacation...
"It's not quite what you expected..."
Su Lin's tone was somewhat hesitant, "Because Lin Wenhua didn't fail, on the contrary, he... succeeded."
"Yeah?"
Xu Shi raised an eyebrow, then laughed, "Alright, I understand. I'll explain in detail when I get back."
"Your smile is so cunning."
Xie Qingyan couldn't hear what was being said on the communicator, but she could clearly see Xu Shi's expression and immediately realized that this guy had probably done something bad again.
"Is there?"
Xu Shi hung up the call and gently patted his cheek.
"you do not say."
His fiancée rolled her eyes at him. "So I'm a little curious. Would you mind telling me?"
"It's not impossible."
Xu Shi thought about it and didn't hide anything from her. He roughly told her about his previous arrangements.
"...Are you willing to spend such a huge amount of money?"
Xie Qingyan looked as if she'd seen a ghost. "Using the second phase of the 'Snake Ring' 'Overlimit Plan' as a price, just to eliminate dissidents?"
To be honest, even she thought this move was incredibly risky; it was definitely going to result in a significant loss, and just thinking about it made her ache...
"You're cutting off flesh to heal a wound."
Coming to her senses, the slut gave a rare, kind reminder: "Be careful, don't ruin yourself."
"But this is a piece of rotten meat."
Xu Shi didn't feel sorry for him when he heard this. "I only know that a boil will never come out unless you squeeze it. Besides, you've experienced leadership changes, so you don't have to be so surprised, do you?"
"……you're right."
Xie Qingyan was taken aback, then remained noncommittal, "Then you should leave quickly if you want to. If there's anything I can help you with... just say so."
"I am extremely grateful."
Xu Shi waved his hand and strode out of the office.
Xie Qingyan, back in her seat, seemed lost in thought.
Xu Shi is right. She has also experienced power shifts, but the situation between her and that scoundrel cannot be generalized.
The truth is that the power transition at "Prism" was quite smooth. After all, Xie Qingyan had always appeared in the company as a highly skilled talent. While her fiancé was indulging in a life of pleasure, she was doing an internship at the bottom. This meant that her father didn't even need to give any instructions before he passed away; the heads of various departments had already sided with her.
Those few who disobeyed were attacked by the group without her even having to say anything.
So, she really had never experienced the drama of eliminating traitors... otherwise, why would she be surprised by Xu Shi's actions?
It can only be said that this scoundrel is truly capable of taking things in stride. What he said wasn't without reason. A troublemaker like Lin Wenhua would be a problem for life if left unattended, so it's understandable that he would have to pay a higher price.
However, on a different note, so "Serpent Ring" also conducted a second phase of development on the "Extreme Project," right? Let's not speculate on any ulterior motives; they did it, they did it... Or perhaps Xu Shi had already prepared for this, secretly having others conduct actual research...
"Tsk, Xu Shi, you liar!"
Xie Qingyan's daily swearing is adorable, but that scoundrel is truly despicable. He speaks so righteously, yet he's still doing dirty tricks behind my back.
But then she thought about it again and felt a little strange. If he really was "keeping it to himself," why would he need to tell her so much detail?
After all, Xu Shi kept this matter very well hidden. If he had kept his mouth shut, he might not have known until it was too late.
So he's giving himself a heads-up, isn't he? Now that you know how things are going, don't do anything that's detrimental to cooperation, or you'll bear the consequences.
Thinking about it, it's true. If that scoundrel really breaks ties with Lin Wenhua, it's not impossible that the latter will come looking for "Prism." It's necessary to block the way in advance and nip some people's unrealistic ideas in the bud.
Especially for someone like her with a criminal record, we need to be extra careful.
Having figured out the cause and effect, Xie Qingyan slumped into her chair and sighed helplessly.
A few months ago, she might have wavered, but how could she now? She's not so confused about what's more important than what's less important.
It's this feeling of still being wary of him... that's not pleasant.
To be honest, Xie Qingyan wouldn't dare say she didn't have any feelings for Xu Shi, but I just helped you save someone! Turning your back on me like that is really quite something!
For some reason, this emotion made her increasingly irritable, and she even had the urge to become a desktop cleaning master and smash or break something to vent her anger.
However, she managed to restrain herself in the end. She simply picked up a pen and paper, drew a simple sketch of Xu Shi, added a pig's nose, crumpled it up, and threw it into the trash can.
"Forget it, it's fine to just observe from the sidelines."
...
There are two sides to the story.
Upon returning to the company, Xu Shi naturally sought out Su Lin immediately.
“No matter how I call you, you won’t respond, but you come back as soon as you hear about Lin Wenhua.”
Director Su teased, "If you have any special feelings for him, you can just tell me directly."
"Isn't it because of special feelings? A feeling of wanting to tear this uncle to pieces?"
Xu Shi laughed and said, "Besides, you have to put yourself in my shoes. The first person I looked for when I came back was you. According to you, my feelings for you are even deeper, aren't they?"
