Chapter 77 Thesis Writing Service
The topic was trending for a short time before being taken down.
The official account of Xiangshi Technology also removed the "like" from Gan Xiaoxing's statement. The public is confused. What exactly is President Xiang trying to do?
At this moment, Xiang Jingheng only wanted to strangle Gan Xiaoxing.
Unable to bear it any longer, he called Gan Xiaoxing. She answered quickly, but the loud, blaring music bombarded his eardrums, causing Xiang Jingheng to furrow his brow.
"See? I told you Xiang Jingheng would call me... Hello, Jingheng!"
Xiang Jingheng moved the phone away from his ear, a look of annoyance rising between his brows. He could tell from the other person's voice that they were already quite drunk.
She caused such a huge mess and dumped it on him, yet she lives a carefree life without any guilt, even holding her own retirement ceremony?
How can a person be so heartless?
"Come on over, this place is full of your little fangirls. If you take a fancy to someone, I'll play matchmaker for you. But let me make this clear beforehand, you can't take a fancy to me, we're buddies."
Gan Xiaoxing gripped her phone and shouted at the top of her lungs. Someone next to her joked, "Stop being a buddy. President Xiang is personally backing you up. How can you say he doesn't love you? We can all see that President Xiang has been secretly in love with you for years. He'd rather divorce his ex-wife than not protect you. We can't just interfere. What if President Xiang kicks us out of the game?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Gan Xiaoxing giggled: "Hey, stop teasing us all the time, it's so annoying."
Xiang Jingheng listened with a cold expression.
In fact, Gan Xiaoxing has heard many of these kinds of jokes in his circle of friends and his circle of brothers. It seems that everyone thinks that he and Gan Xiaoxing should be together.
Thinking about it carefully, when Yu Yan was around, quite a few people made fun of him and Gan Xiaoxing in public.
Xiang Jingheng couldn't remember her expression at the time.
Yu Yan is a very decent and well-mannered person. Even if she feels uncomfortable, she will not embarrass him in public.
But has he ever embarrassed Yu Yan?
The music suddenly went quieter, and a muffled, hoarse voice came through the receiver, "Young Master."
Xiang Jingheng was slightly taken aback, recognizing Mei Nan's voice.
He picked up his phone again. "Mei Nan, I told you not to call me that anymore. We are now in a superior-subordinate relationship, not an employer-employee relationship."
Mei Nan's mother used to work as a maid for the Xiang family for a long time. Xiang Jingheng and Mei Nan are about the same age. Xiang Jingheng attended a public school for a period of time when they were in elementary school, and the two were classmates.
Mei Nan always called Xiang Jingheng "Young Master". She had excellent grades and was now a senior engineer, but she could never change the inferiority complex that was ingrained in her bones.
"President Xiang," Mei Nan changed her address, her voice still timid.
Xiang Jingheng didn't ask any further questions, only asking, "You're with Gan Xiaoxing? Who else is there?"
Mei Nan was honest and recounted the story of everyone in the private room.
Xiang Jingheng was basically familiar with them all; they were Gan Xiaoxing's close friends, a group of rich heiresses who would always compare themselves to each other and show off when they got together.
"Make Gan Xiaoxing delete that statement. Tell her that if she doesn't delete it, I will go directly to her parents to cancel all her credit cards."
Mei Nan responded to Xiang Jingheng and said, "You should also try to persuade her to stop going against Yu Yan. It won't do her any good."
Mei Nan nodded subconsciously, then stammered, "I... I couldn't persuade her either."
"..."
Xiang Jingheng felt exhausted and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Forget it, you should spend less time with Gan Xiaoxing in the future, or she'll corrupt you."
After saying that, Xiang Jingheng hung up the phone.
Mei Nan was so touched by that last heartwarming advice that she couldn't recover for a long time, her heart pounding.
She bit her lip secretly, and just as she was about to turn off the screen, she saw a man's bare back on the desktop background. The lines were prominent, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the exposed waistband of his pants exuded sexiness.
This is... young master!
The photo was probably taken by Gan Xiaoxing secretly. If Xiang Jingheng knew, he definitely wouldn't have allowed Gan Xiaoxing to keep it.
Mei Nan immediately took a screenshot, opened WeChat, found herself, sent the message, and then deleted it.
“Mei Nan—” someone in the private room shouted at her, “Go get another dozen beers, we’re not drinking enough.”
Mei Nan pushed open the door to the private room, put her phone back without batting an eye, and watched the young ladies frolicking with handsome men. She then went out like a little maid to fetch them drinks.
But Mei Nan's gaze towards them was filled with only indifference and contempt.
Once outside, Mei Nan took out her phone and dialed a number. "Yu Yan, long time no see, this is Mei Nan."
His voice was still muffled and hoarse, but no longer timid.
The fear was only directed at that person.

Yu Yan and Mei Nan ate dinner together.
Yu Yan wanted to take Mei Nan out to eat, but Mei Nan shook her head and smiled, "No need, let's just go to the cafeteria. I haven't eaten cafeteria food in a long time, I really miss it."
Uesugi University is open to the public, but you have to use a magnetic card to get food in the cafeteria.
After getting two meals, Yu Yan swiped her employee card, and Mei Nan said in a muffled voice, "I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Don't mention it."
Yu Yan smiled and bought two more bottles of drinks.
"Thank you." Mei Nan took the drink, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling with laughter. "School was so much better. It was simple and pure. When you were in school, all you had in your head was exams and ideals. But after you enter society, all you have left is fame and fortune."
"Striving for fame and fortune is human nature."
Yu Yan clinked her drinks with her, "It's all for making a living."
Mei Nan smiled and agreed, her eyes full of sincerity. Although she was still a little cautious in her behavior, she was much better than when she was in school.
During her student days, Mei Nan only knew how to bury herself in her studies and rarely even smiled.
The two chatted as they ate.
"You came all this way to see me specifically because of the Xiaoxing Research Lab?"
Mei Nan looked up at Yu Yan and said, "You're still the same as before, speaking directly and concisely without any unnecessary words."
"To save time," Yu Yan said, "If you want to exchange pleasantries before getting to the point, that's fine with me too."
We weren't exactly close friends to begin with, so we didn't really have much to talk about.
Yu Yan has very clear boundaries in her mind regarding the different identities of family, friends, classmates, and colleagues.
She can be extremely tolerant of those inside the group, and she will only speak her mind about those outside the group without getting too emotional.
After all, feelings are built over time, and her energy is limited. She can't be nice to everyone, so she can only give her limited emotions to a limited number of people.
“Then I’ll be frank,” Mei Nan said.
Yu Yan made a "please" gesture.
Mei Nan spoke frankly: "The Xiaoxing Research Lab is officially disbanded today. However, Xiang's Technology has not given up on this research lab. After all, President Xiang has invested a lot of money and effort in this research lab since its establishment, and we can't bear to see it go to waste like this. Next, the Xiaoxing Research Lab will be officially merged into Xiang's Technology and will be renamed. I will be in charge of it."
Yu Yan looked at her old classmate calmly, waiting for her to continue.
“Yu Yan,” Mei Nan put down her chopsticks, “we may become partners or competitors in the future. Regardless of our relationship, I should greet you first.”
Yu Yan enjoyed this kind of interaction. She always reciprocated kindness tenfold, and smiled slightly.
"Congratulations."
The two clinked glasses again.
Mei Nan, holding her drink, paused slightly before tentatively asking, "Xiangshi Technology and WD have a very strong desire to cooperate. Regarding the chip patents, I wonder if Xiangshi could..."
"cannot."
Yu Yan was very direct: "It's impossible, both publicly and privately."
Mei Nan was slightly taken aback by her decisive refusal. Just as she was about to say something, Yu Yan's phone rang. It was Principal Mu calling.
—
After parting ways with Mei Nan at school, Yu Yan rushed off to her next dinner party.
This time, Mrs. Gan is treating.
Yu Yan couldn't refuse to go, since Gan Tai had asked the old leader to mediate. Even if Yu Yan didn't give her face, she had to give Uncle Mu face.
After Gan Tai left, Principal Mu called Yu Yan again.
“This trending topic has alarmed the teachers. Your grandfather is very angry. The investigation bureau contacted the Gan family. Only then did Zhao Yinglan realize the seriousness of the problem and asked Gan Xiaoxing to delete the statement. She also wanted to make peace with you, which is why she came to me for help. You don’t need to give me face. I have already explained the stakes. If the Gan family continues to cause trouble, I will issue a lawyer’s letter on behalf of the school.”
Yu Yan had no intention of letting this matter pass by in a muddled way. She herself could have let it go, but this time the matter involved the Yu family and also implicated her grandfather and Uncle Yan. This was intolerable.
Yu Yan recently picked up a BMW from a 4S store. After her foot injury healed, she and Shao Muyan took turns driving her to and from get off work.
Today, she went directly to the appointment in her bodyguard's car, leaving her own car with Shao Muyan, and sent him a message.
Shao Muyan didn't reply; he's probably still in the lab.
Yu Yan had a brown paper bag next to her, which was filled with the papers that Gan Xiaoxing had published over the years.
She's seen them all, both the real and the fake, and circled them all.
...This is only a part.
In the afternoon, I also verified some things with Mei Nan. Although Mei Nan did not admit anything in person, her eyes betrayed her.
All the papers that Gan Xiaoxing has published as the first author over the years.
It was all written by Mei Nan.
Who are the real academic slackers?
