Chapter 301: Snatching Yours
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Despite that, Yin Xun felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about how Qu Lu would get married to Fang Yao. Why did she have such thoughts?
Well, Qu Lu hated her to begin with. If they got married, she and Fang Yao would probably not be able to continue working together. She would lose a sugar daddy, which was why she felt uncomfortable.
'Yes, that must be it.'
"Didn't I say that Fang Yao and I are just ordinary partners? It has nothing to do with me who he marries," Yin Xun explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is?" Qu Lin rested her chin on her hand with a puzzled expression.
'What do you think? I was right, wasn't l? Qu Lu is Young Master Fang's real girlfriend. She's beautiful, kind, and comes from a good family background. She's not like some people who keep an eye on other people's boyfriends and even bully others. Qu Lu is simply not like them. Hmph." Ding Shan walked over at this moment. Due to her injured ankle, she walked rather slowly.
Yin Xun and Qu Lin turned around and saw that Ding Shan was trying to look normal as she walked. Her body was a little stiff because of this deliberate movement. Yin Xun suddenly felt somewhat impressed by her willpower.
The more she watched, however, the more she found Ding Shan's walking posture hilarious. She immediately burst out laughing.
'What are you laughing at?' When Ding Shan saw Yin Xun staring at her and laughing, she remembered what happened in the bathroom just now. Her face turned red and she glared at Yin Xun fiercely.
Yin Xun did not say anything, but Qu Lin rolled her eyes at her and said angrily, "Sister Yin Xun thinks you're a joke. You don't think before you speak. It means nothing if someone uninvolved like you talks about this. As for who Brother Fang Yao's girlfriend is, I think it should be up to him to decide. He's not a puppet. He has his own thoughts."
Ding Shan frowned and said, "Linlin, Lulu is your biological sister. It's fine if you don't stand up for her, but why do you have to intentionally stand up for others? Young Master Fang isn't your biological brother, is he? You keep calling him Brother. Those who didn't know better might think that you're the Fang family's daughter."
"You..." Faced with Ding Shan's mocking tone, Qu Lin's face suddenly turned red, as if someone had hit a sore spot.
"There's no need to be embarrassed. Your thoughts are very normal. Who doesn't want to build a relationship with the Fang family? Your sister is going to marry Young Master Fang. When the time comes, she'll have a higher position than you. You're probably afraid and are eager to curry favor with Young Master Fang before they get married so that you won't be suppressed by your sister in the future." Ding Shan finally regained the upper hand and stared at Qu Lin arrogantly.
At this moment, her face was filled with pride. After all, she had just been insulted by Qu Lin not long ago. Now that she could return the favor, she naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Yin Xun did not mind exchanges of mockery at all, nor was she interested in arguing with them. There was no benefit in winning something like this. It was better to save energy for earning money. Having money meant having everything.
However, Qu Lin was trying to help her. Yin Xun naturally could not watch her be bullied, so she finally decided to speak up.
She glanced at Ding Shan indifferently and said slowly, "If you have the time to care about other people's family matters, why don't you settle your own family's mess first? Before you talk about someone's elder sister, you should be looking at your younger brother first."
When Qu Lin heard Yin Xun's words, she laughed. She nodded and said, "That's right. A certain someone is worried about her younger brother snatching the family assets every day and is making things difficult for her family. However, she also cares about the matters of another family's sisters. She must be so free."
"You two..." Ding Shan pointed at Yin Xun and Qu Lin. She did not say anything for a moment. After a while, she said to Qu Lin, "The project you snatched from your sister belonged to me. Did you know that?! Why do you always like to do such things?!"
Qu Lin casually picked up the red wine in front of her and took a sip before saying unhurriedly, "In business, it's important for capable people to do more work. Since the other party chose to cooperate with me in the end, it naturally means that they acknowledge my ability, and you..."
Qu Lin smiled. "You are a little lacking. Besides, you know my relationship with my sister. How can I not snatch the project she discussed? All you have to do is not look for my sister for help. Look for me instead, as long as you ask nicely."
"Don't get full of yourself, Qu Lin! A rabbit will bite when it's pushed to a corner. Don't force me!" Ding Shan was so angry that her face turned red. She turned to leave, but before she left, she did not forget to threaten Qu Lin. "Qu Lin, don't be conceited. After your sister marries Young Master Fang, there won't be any place left for you. The Fang family's power isn't something you can fight against. I'll wait for you to come back begging to Lulu.."

Chapter 302: A Dog Using Its Power
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun saw how angry she was. She thought that if it were not for the fact that this was a banquet, she would have shouted and cursed by now.
With a smile, Yin Xun went to Qu Lin's side and asked softly, "Aren't you still underage? Can you even talk about business?"
She was not looking down on minors, but she had never heard of any company that would allow the discussion of business with minors.
Qu Lin smiled mysteriously at Yin Xun. "l know I'm young, but I can negotiate..."
The two of them whispered for a while. Yin Xun realized that Qu Lin had a knack for business. Although she was young, it did not affect her knowledge at all. It was just that she had not encountered any setbacks so far and was a little too proud and conceited.
However, this was a small problem. Yin Xun was even more certain that she wanted to work with Qu Lin in the future.
While the two of them were whispering to each other, Lin Chan brought Qu Lu along to greet her friends.
Yin Xun always had the collaboration on her mind. She would occasionally look at Lin Chan, hoping to find an opportunity to talk to her about the project. However, it was as if Lin Chan had really only invited her to have fun at the banquet. Not only did she not bring up the collaboration, she did not even speak to her from the beginning to the end.
Finally, Lin Chan brought Qu Lu to their area.
"Madam, you..."
"Miss Yin, I am so sorry. If there is anything, can we wait until the banquet is over before we talk about it? You saw it yourself. I have something on right now."
Yin Xun had barely opened her mouth when Lin Chan interrupted her.
Qu Lu, who was standing beside her, shot Yin Xun a provocative look.
Qu Lin mouthed to Qu Lu, "A dog can use its master's power." With that, she raised her glass with a smile and made a toasting gesture before taking a sip.
Qu Lu 's expression changed slightly, but because Lin Chan was beside her, she could only maintain her smile.
The two of them soon left. Yin Xun looked at how distant Lin Chan was behaving and could already guess what was going on.
The only contact she had with the Fang family was Fang Yao. When they first met, she pretended to be Fang Yao's girlfriend and drove Qu Lu away in anger.
After Lin Chan had invited her to the banquet, Yin Xun had been summoned by Qu Lu as soon as she arrived. Qu Lu had declared her sovereignty. It was impossible that Lin Chan would not know about this. In other words, she had tacitly agreed to this behavior.
At the banquet, Lin Chan also informed everyone that Fang Yao's fiancée was Qu Lu.
Lin Chan ignored her because she wanted to help Qu Lu vent his anger.
If she guessed correctly, when Lin Chan came to look for her after the banquet, she would definitely talk about Fang Yao's relationships.
This was really... an undeserved calamity. Yin Xun sighed and cursed Fang Yao in her heart.
"Since it's Madam's birthday today, why didn't Fang Yao come?" Thinking of Fang Yao, Yin Xun looked around and realized that she had not seen Fang Yao since he arrived.
Qu Lin looked at Yin Xun in surprise. "He never attends such events, unless it's related to business. Besides, let me tell you..." Qu Lin leaned close to Yin Xun's ear and whispered, "Brother Fang doesn't like my sister at all. I heard that in order to avoid my sister, he doesn't even go home anymore. Rumor has it that he went to live in a very remote and dilapidated neighborhood. Tsk tsk, my sister is hated to this extent, but she still pesters him."
"A dilapidated neighborhood?" Yin Xun was stunned.
Qu Lin nodded. "That's right. It's so remote and the houses there are small. It must be really hard on Brother Fang."
"That's right, I've done him wrong..." Yin Xun could not help but feel a little ashamed.
Although the neighborhood she lived in was remote, it was still a villa area. The security of the property management was very good. She did not expect it to be a lousy neighborhood in Qu Lin's eyes.
She was certainly the daughter of a wealthy family. Her taste was extraordinary.
The banquet lasted for two hours. Qu Lin was with Yin Xun the entire time.
Initially, Qu Lu's friends wanted to make things difficult for Yin Xun so that Qu Lu would remember their kindness. However , when they saw Qu Lin by Yin Xun's side, they gave up on the idea. They did not dare to provoke Qu Lin.
After the banquet ended, the guests gradually left.
Qu Lin reminded her, "Sister Yin Xun, since Auntie invited you here, she will definitely come to look for you later. You should change your clothes first. It will be more convenient."
After being reminded by Qu Lin, Yin Xun remembered that she was still wearing the soiled gown and quickly went out to change.
Right after Yin Xun left, Lin Chan came over, having already changed her clothes. Qu Lu had also changed her clothes and followed behind her.
After learning that Yin Xun had gone out to change her clothes, Lin Chan's eyes flashed.
"Auntie, do you also know Big Sis Yin Xun?" Qu Lin asked Lin Chan with a smile.
Qu Lu frowned and said, "Linlin, does Auntie have to report to you about what she does? That's so rude. We can't ask about personal matters of the elders.."

Chapter 303: Secretly-taken Photos
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Lin Chan smiled and praised Qu Lu. "Lulu is indeed sensible. But it doesn't matter. Linlin is still young. There's nothing wrong with that."
She turned her head and said to Qu Lin, "1 have something personal to discuss with Miss Yin.'
"Auntie, Big Sister Yin Xun is my savior. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive. For my sake, can you please treat her well?" Qu Lin hugged Lin Chan's arm and tried to persuade her.
"So she was the one who saved you?' Lin Chan was surprised.
She had heard Qu Lin mention this before. At that time, she even vowed that if she saw that person in the future, she would show her gratitude.
However, she did not expect this person to be Yin Xun. It was really a twist of fate..
After Yin Xun changed her clothes and returned, she discovered that Lin Chan's attitude toward her had suddenly changed. It was as if her smile had become more genuine, and it was no longer the fake smile from before.
Lin Chan brought her to the lounge of the hotel. This was where Qu Lu had met her when Yin Xun had first arrived. As expected, Lin Chan knew about Qu Lu's actions.
At this moment, there was only her and Lin Chan in the room. The gentle smile on Lin Chan's face immediately disappeared. She looked at Yin Xun and said,
"Miss Yin, since there is no one else here, then let's get straight to the point."
Yin Xun nodded. "Please speak, Madam."
Lin Chan turned around and took out a stack of photos from her bag. She placed them in front of Yin Xun and said, "I don't know how you and Yao met, and I don't care whether you deliberately approached Yao or unintentionally met him. But there's one thing I hope you understand. Yao already has a fiancée. As for who it is, you should have heard it just now."
Lin Chan frowned as she spoke, her tone not very pleasant.
Yin Xun looked at the photos. When she heard Lin Chan's words, she nodded and replied, "1 heard the announcement. It's Qu Ltl." Her tone was calm and there was no reaction.
She did not care who Fang Yao's girlfriend was. She only cared about the contents of the photos.
From this angle, it was obvious that they were secretly taken, and they were very unprofessional. Some photos were so blurry that it was almost impossible to see the person clearly. Yin Xun took a closer look and realized that they were all photos of her and Fang Yao together. Some looked intimate, and some were normal.
In those intimate photos, other than the one with her arm linked with Fang
Yao's, almost everything else was an illusion caused by the angle of the photo. As for the one with her arm linked, Yin Xun remembered that she was so tired from Fang Yao's training that she could not even walk, so she used Fang Yao to support her.
"Yao is my son. I know very well what kind of person he is. Perhaps you two are in a relationship, but I know that nothing...irreparable has really happened between you two." Lin Chan thought about her words. "So, no matter how deep your relationship is now, I hope that you two can break up immediately. Yao needs a wife who can help him in his career, not someone with no background."
Yin Xun's attention was all on those photos. When she thought of the silhouette she had seen previously, she immediately understood that she had been followed. As for who it was...
"Madam, you don't have to worry about this. Fang Yao and I are really just ordinary friends. I think he should have told you about our business collaboration. Recently, we added a new project. He said that he wanted to discuss it with the other shareholders of the company. I thought that you were looking for me today to discuss the collaboration." Yin Xun was neither servile nor overbearing as she smiled faintly.
Lin Chan did not believe her. She frowned and asked, "You moved next door to him in order to get close to him. How is that fine? Moreover, with your status, you wouldn't be able to come into contact with our Fang Family under normal circumstances. Before you cooperated, what methods did you use to get close to him?'
"Also..." Lin Chan continued, "He even gave you his bodyguard. Is your relationship really innocent?'
"His bodyguard?" Yin Xun was stunned.
Lin Chan had been staring into Yin Xun's eyes. Seeing that she was genuinely stunned, she frowned and asked, "You don't know? Are your current bodyguards called Tan Ai and Shu Yi?"
"That's right." Yin Xun nodded, her heart filled with disbelief.
So Shu Yi and Tan Ai were Fang Yao's bodyguards! Female bodyguards were rare to begin with, let alone someone as outstanding as those two.
She had asked Mary to recruit people, but no one had passed the test after so long. When Fang Yao found out that she needed female bodyguards, he immediately found two. It was no wonder. She thought that it was because the Fang family had a lot of connections that he could get it done so fast.
Yin Xun suddenly remembered that before she came to the banquet, Tan Ai had been teaching her how to do things. At that time, she only thought that this was a compulsory training course for bodyguards to understand all kinds of situations..
...
Chapter 304: Gold Worshipper
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Only now did Yin Xun realize that she must have been a member of the Fang family. No wonder Tan Ai looked so angry when she complained about Fang Yao. Now, she knew the reason.
Lin Chan leaned back in her chair and touched the diamond ring on her finger. "Originally, I wanted to cancel all collaborations between the Fang Family and the Yin Family, but I just heard from Linlin that you saved her life. Since that's the case, to repay your kindness, the Fang Family will continue to collaborate with you. I heard that you also want funds for a delivery project. As long as you promise to keep a distance from Yao in the future, the Fang Family will fully support you. How about that?'
Yin Xun's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Chan's terms. She asked, "So that means, as long as I don't date Fang Yao, your family will fully support my project? I won't have to worry about funding either, right?"
Yin Xun tried her best to appear calm, but this condition was too good. She could not suppress the excitement in her voice.
Seeing Yin Xun's expression, Lin Chan was exasperated. Why did Yin Xun suddenly seem so happy?
Although she was puzzled, she still nodded and gave an affirmative answer. "That's right. Actually, we're quite optimistic about your project. However, it's still considered a small project by our Fang family's standards. It's not attractive enough, but as long as you agree to leave Fang Yao alone, we can fully support you. No matter how you plan to burn funds, you don't have to worry about funding in the future. Of course, this isn't unlimited. I think you should understand that without me saying it."
In any case, there was nothing between her and Fang Yao. They were just business partners. Even if Yin Xun agreed to Lin Chan's terms, it would not affect her much.
Yin Xun was afraid that if she took too long to answer, Lin Chan would change her mind. After all, this cash cow looked even stronger than Fang Yao. She had to cozy up to her at all costs.
Yin Xun quickly asked, "In that case, Madam, should we sign the contract?"
Words were useless. As long as Lin Chan signed the contract with her in the end, she had nothing to worry about.
" ..Naturally." Lin Chan looked at Yin Xun in confusion. She had thought that
Yin Xun would object to it, but to the contrary, she seemed to be quite happy.
Hell... It seemed that Yin Xun had only approached Fang Yao for money. Now that there was a greater benefit offered, she immediately gave up on Fang Yao and did not even say anything to salvage the situation.
Lin Chan had a bad impression of Yin Xun again. The praise she had for Yin Xun because she saved Qu Lin was instantly gone.
Fortunately, the girl turned out to be this kind of gold worshipper.
At first, Lin Chan had wondered if she had misunderstood their relationship.
Yin Xun did not care what Lin Chan thought of her. In order to prevent the ripe fruit from slipping away, she urged Lin Chan, "Madam, I agree to all your requests. So, do you think we can sign the contract now? I'm sure you don't want to see me again in the future. Since that's the case, why don't we settle everything tonight? If you find it troublesome to draft the contract, leave it to me. I'm very good at this!"
"No need. I've already prepared the contract." Lin Chan picked up her phone and sent a message. Two minutes later, Butler He came over.
He handed a folder to Lin Chan and left.
"Take a look. There are both requests and benefits written." Lin Chan handed the contract to Yin Xun, indicating for her to inspect it.
Yin Xun took the contract and thought to herself, 'I can't believe that this type of "take the money and stay away from my son" plot really exists, and it even happened to me.'
In the past, when she saw female protagonists feeling insulted by this and then refusing the money after being separated from the male protagonist, Yin Xun felt bad for them. She could hate anything, but she could never hate money. She could do whatever she wanted with enough money.
Back then, she believed that she could bear such humiliation and that people could use money to insult her to their heart's content. Now that it had finally come true, she could not suppress the excitement in her heart.
Yin Xun looked at the contract. Lin Chan's requirements were written in great detail. There were many requirements, but to Yin Xun, the remuneration was also very high. There was no other problem, so she signed it very readily.
After signing the contract, Yin Xun handed a copy to Lin Chan and kept a copy for herself.
She knew what Lin Chan wanted. Lin Chan despised her family background. She had also taken a fancy to Qu Lu and wanted her to be with Fang Yao. Her greatest fear was that Yin Xun would ruin the relationship between Fang Yao and Qu Lu.
Since Lin Chan was now her financier, Yin Xun felt that she needed to reassure her and build a good relationship with her. She would need the Fang Family in the future. After all, they were one of the top families in the country..

Chapter 305: Fang Yao Knows About It
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun looked at Lin Chan and said with a smile, "Madam, I think you've misunderstood me and Fang Yao. We're really just business partners. Besides, I'm not interested in him. There are many people chasing me, so he's not someone special."
"Is this how you view relationships?' Lin Chan frowned, her tone already starting to become displeased. "In order to protect you, he got seriously injured, but you brushed it off with just a few words. I feel sorry for my son."
Yin Xun thought that she could fool her, but in fact, Lin Chan already knew the details. Qu Lu must have told her everything.
Initially, she didn't believe it either because she understood her son's personality. Ever since he was young, Fang Yao had never fallen for any girl. Even so, Fang Yao had never even looked at the outstanding Qu Lu. How could he fall for a woman who had suddenly appeared?
However, after investigating things, she sent someone to follow Yin Xun. Only then did she confirm that Fang Yao treated Yin Xun differently from other girls. Based on her understanding of Fang Yao, even if he did not fall in love with Yin Xun, he definitely had some feelings for her
Later on, she went to look for Fang Yao and talked to him about this matter. Fang Yao did not hide his feelings for Yin Xun at all.
Fang Yao was not joking when he told her that he liked Yin Xun. He had gradually fallen in love with Yin Xun after their usual interactions.
It was just that Yin Xun was too dense and did not notice it.
Lin Chan sneered. Yin Xun thought that she was the one Lin Chan was cautious about, but that was not the case. She was most wary about Fang Yao's involvement.
As long as Yin Xun agreed not to be with Fang Yao, it would be useless even if Fang Yao liked her. As the only son of the Fang Family, Fang Yao had to be with Qu Lu for the sake of the family business.
To be honest, Lin Chan preferred Qu Lin. It was just that Qu Lin was too young, and the only suitable girl of the same age and social class was Qu Lu.
Most importantly, Qu Lu was raised by the Fang family and the Qu family for this marriage...
"Are you pretending that you don't know how he feels about you, or do you really not know?" Lin Chan asked her in a low voice.
The image of Fang Yao protecting her appeared in Yin Xun's mind again. Back then, she had also wondered if Fang Yao liked her, but later..
"He's protecting his partner. If I die, the money he invested will be wasted. ' That should be the case. Yin Xun lowered her eyes and added that last sentence in her heart.
"Hmph, you're good at finding excuses, but that's good too. It's best if you don't have feelings for Yao. I hope you remember the contents of this contract. If you violate it, you'll have to pay me three times the compensation." Lin Chan warned her.
Yin Xun asked again, 'Then the cooperation between me and Fang Yao..."
"The collaboration can continue as long as you keep your word," Lin Chan replied.
"Okay."
After talking to Lin Chan, Yin Xun left the hotel. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little confused and uncomfortable.
Therefore, when she walked out of the house, she did not notice the familiar figure standing not far away.
Fang Yao did not stop Yin Xun. Instead, he stood there and watched her walk away until her figure disappeared. Only then did he walk into the lounge.
'You're here. Aren't you going to send her back at such a late hour? Aren't you worried that it won't be safe?" Lin Chan was not the least bit surprised to see him suddenly appear.
"Tan Ai came with her," Fang Yao said lightly. "1 didn't expect you to suddenly come to the company to intercept her."
"l also didn't expect you to find out so quickly. You've actually been here for a long time, haven't you? But why didn't you dare to appear? Are you afraid that the girl would find out? I've raised you for many years, but this is the first time I've seen you being so careful with a girl. Judging from that child's reaction, you've never spoken to her about liking her. Why? Are you afraid that she'll reject you?" Lin Chan had a smile on the corner of her mouth. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Fang Yao glanced at Lin Chan and frowned. "It seems like you really want me to confess to her.'
Hearing Fang Yao's words, Lin Chan's smile immediately disappeared. She shook her head. "Forget it. Fortunately, you're one-track-minded when it comes to relationships and didn't confess carelessly. If you did, it would have been quite difficult for me to deal with this matter today. However, since you're already here, why didn't you stop us?"
Fang Yao's lips suddenly curled into a smile. He said lightly, "There's no need to stop you because eventually, you'll want to destroy that contract more than I do..."
When Yin Xun returned to the villa, it was already very late. When she passed by Fang Yao's house, she peeked inside. To her surprise, the lights in the villa were not switched on. It was pitch-black. Even the lights in the courtyard were off. It looked like no one was there, but the door was not locked.
Could it be that Fang Yao and the servants were not at home?
...
Chapter 306: Fang Yao Is Not At Home
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun originally wanted to tell Fang Yao. After all, it was not good to sign an investment agreement with the Fang family without letting him know. However, she had no choice. Fang Yao had also said that he could not make the decision himself and had to discuss it with his family.
In other words, if Yin Xun had rejected the demands back then, then this investment project would have ended, and they would probably not get the chance to discuss it again in the future. The situation was unique, and Yin Xun could not call Fang Yao in front of Lin Chan to inquire about it, so she had no choice but to do it. She hoped that Fang Yao would not mind her decision.
Looking at it from another angle, Lin Chan's request actually did not affect her relationship with Fang Yao. It was just that they could not date; they could still be business partners.
Thinking of this, Yin Xun suddenly felt much more relaxed. She had always been good at persuading herself and would rarely experience internal conflict.
Tan Ai saw Yin Xun staring at Fang Yao's house and asked, "Miss Yin, do you want to go in and take a look?'
Yin Xun looked at the courtyard under the light of the street lamp. The door was not locked, which meant that there was definitely someone in the house. However, the lights were not on. Perhaps Fang Yao was resting. After all, he had been injured recently and still needed to recuperate.
However, she remembered that no matter how late she came back in the past, Fang Yao would always be waiting for her at home and urge her to exercise.
Suddenly, one day, Fang Yao stopped doing this. She was still not used to this.
"I'm not going. I'll look for him tomorrow," Yin Xun said flatly.
When she returned home, Shu Yi told her that Liu Ying had come to visit again. She ate all her meals at the villa. After eating, she would tidy up the kitchen and leave. Liu Ying did not touch anything else in the house.
When Yin Xun heard this, she did not have any reaction. She only responded indifferently and returned to her bedroom.
Fang Yao's room was also dark. Yin Xun walked to the balcony and stared at Fang Yao's window without blinking. She wondered if Fang Yao would suddenly open the window and greet her like before.
The weather was a little overcast tonight, and there was a hint of dampness in the wind. It was pleasant, but there was something strangely oppressive about
it.
"Fang Yao?" Yin Xun called out softly. As expected, there was no response from the other side.
After staring blankly for a while, Yin Xun suddenly came back to her senses. She raised her hand and gently patted her face, wondering what was wrong with her. Why was she suddenly so sentimental? She was not like her usual self at all.
It was just a few words from Lin Chan. Besides, she and Fang Yao were not in such a relatinoship to begin with. What was there to be afraid of?
Earning money was the most important thing. With money, one would have confidence. Nothing else mattered.
Yin Xun secretly cheered herself on in her heart. She took one last deep look at Fang Yao's window before returning to her bedroom. She closed the curtains, took a shower, and went to bed.
Yin Xun did not sleep well that night. She dreamed of her previous world and her life in this world. Everything began smoothly, but then she eventually stopped fighting Si Fan, causing her family to be destroyed. She had not friends to rely on and was imprisoned and tortured by Si Fan. Even Fang Yao was hurting her.
The dream was so vivid that her body really hurt when she was tortured. In the end, Yin Xun was woken up by this. She abruptly sat up and took deep breaths. Her heart was beating faster from the shock.
'Why does this dream feel so familiar?" Yin Xun stretched and looked around at the time. She woke up just in time. The alarm clock would be ringing in a few minutes.
It was just a dream. Yin Xun stopped thinking about the contents of the dream. She got up and changed her clothes. Then, she went downstairs to go for a morning run.
She thought that she would be training alone this morning, but as soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Fang Yao walking over.
When Fang Yao saw Yin Xun, he was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and greeted her. "What a rare thing. You actually took the initiative to run in the morning without anyone pushing you."
"After all, your life is your responsibility. When it matters, you have to protect yourself." Seeing Fang Yao greeting her as usual, Yin Xun suddenly felt relieved. She smiled and said, 'Good morning, you haven't recovered yet, so why are you out so early?"
Fang Yao walked to Yin Xun's side and frowned. "1 just came back. Didn't you notice last night that I wasn't at home?'
Yin Xun smiled awkwardly and said, "I came back very late last night. I saw that the lights were not on at your house and thought that you were all asleep.
Yin Xun did not know if Lin Chan had told Fang Yao about the contract. She was at a loss as to how she should tell him about it.
Lin Chan probably did not say anything. Otherwise, Fang Yao would definitely ask her something by now.
'Well, you haven't recovered yet. You can't go running, right?" Yin Xun was about to say something, but the words changed when they reached her mouth..
...
Chapter 307: Blissful Pain
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun and the expression in his eyes dimmed slightly. He said calmly, "I'm here to monitor you so that you won't slack off."
After much consideration, Yin Xun finally decided to tell Fang Yao about the contract before she left.
"I have something to tell you," Yin Xun said to Fang Yao with a serious expression.
Fang Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, 'What is it?"
"You... Do you know about the contract I signed with your mother?" Yin Xun asked.
Initially, Yin Xun was still wondering if he should tell Fang Yao about the contract. However, after thinking about it, with Fany Yao's ability, even if Lin Chan did not tell him, he would definitely be able to find out.
After all, someone with as high a status as him would definitely have spies in the family.
As expected, Fang Yao nodded and said, "l do."
Hearing Fang Yao's answer, Yin Xun heaved a sigh of relief.
Initially, she was worried that Fang Yao would be angry. Now, seeing how calm he was and that he was still in the mood to monitor her morning run, it seemed like everything was fine.
Yin Xun quickly apologized. "Why didn't you tell me that you had a fiancée? To think that we pretended to be a couple back then. It was so awkward. No wonder your mother was angry.
Yin Xun reached out and gently patted Fang Yao's uninjured shoulder. "It's better for you to explain this to your mother. She didn't believe me when I explained. There's nothing between us, after all. It's just a collaboration, so she doesn't have to worry. As for the investment, I promise I won't let her make a loss."
Now that the project was on the right track and the initial stages were going smoothly, there was nothing to worry about next. Now that she had sufficient funds to work on the project and did not have to worry about money, she could naturally push forward boldly.
Xintao had already reached a stable stage. Next, she would solve the delivery problem. After that, she would work on short video calls. Following that, she would develop the next step of her plan. Step by step, she wanted to build her own business empire.
Hearing Yin Xun's words, Fang Yao frowned. Before he came, he had thought that Yin Xun would mention this. Would she be in an angry mood or pretend that nothing had happened?
He thought of all kinds of possible situations, but he did not expect this. After Yin Xun found out that he knew that she had signed the contract without permission, her main attention was actually on the fact that he had a fiancée. When did he say that he had a fiancée?
"Do you have anything else to say?" Fang Yao asked Yin Xun.
When Yin Xun saw that Fang Yao's expression was not too pleasant, she immediately began to reflect on whether her tone was rude just now. Then, she quickly said, "I didn't discuss it with you before signing the contract; that was my fault. I shouldn't be asking you to talk about this with your family anyway. But I can guarantee that you won't lose money in the end. You won't suffer a loss if you cooperate with me."
Fang Yao,
At this moment, he wanted to crack open Yin Xun's head and check if there was anything else there other than business.
He sighed. He finally understood—as long as he did not say anything, Yin Xun would never think in this direction.
"I don't have a fiancée. Qu Lu simply likes me. This is just her wishful thinking.
I've rejected her from the start." Fang Yao decided to make things clear. Otherwise, if Yin Xun continued to misunderstand, he would not stand a chance.
Yin Xun said in surprise, "But your mother has already announced her status as fiancée in front of all the guests. She seems to think that it would be helpful to your career. Tsk tsk, is this the pain of being born into a big family? You can't even make a decision about your own marriage. Although you're as rich as a country, you don't have freedom. Such blissful pain..."
Many people must be envious of this kind of pain. After all, the source of all pain was poverty. As long as you had money, you could rely on money to solve many problems.
"Then what if I say that the person I like is you?" Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun and said in a half-serious and half-joking tone.
He could use this opportunity to check Yin Xun 's attitude toward him.
If Yin Xun had feelings for him, he would immediately make a move and think of a way to make his parents accept Yin Xun. If Yin Xun still did not react, he would still wait a little longer. Anyway, the contract would not hurt Yin Xun.
When Yin Xun heard his words, she immediately waved her hand and retreated from the question. 'We're business partners. Don't put me in a bad spot. You can't drag me down just to get rid of Qu Lu. I've already been tricked once because of this facade. I don't want to be targeted by your family a second time."
She rejected him without any hesitation.
Fang Yao sighed. This was the first time he felt so defeated. Yin Xun was really... blank when it came to relationships..

Forget it, there was still a long way to go. He would take things slow and wait for Yin Xun's company to stabilize first.
In any case, with him around, no other man would dare to pursue Yin Xun, so there was no need to be afraid of her being snatched away.
"Go for a run. Don't slack off, or your training will be doubled tonight," Fang Yao threatened Yin Xun in an unpleasant tone.
Yin Xun did not expect Fang Yao's expression to change so suddenly. She complained under her breath, "A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. His emotions are really unstable." Then, he obediently went for a run.
When Fang Yao heard her, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.
After the morning run, Yin Xun bid farewell to Fang Yao and went home to take a shower and change her clothes. Then, she rushed to the company feeling refreshed.
Despite exercising for a long time, not only did she not feel tired, but she even felt that her entire body was more liberated after exercising.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Mi Jin brought her good news. After comprehensive testing and modifications, the bugs had basically been cleared and the entire platform could be used.
As for the other mobile phone manufacturers, they had already taken the initiative to book an appointment when they saw Xintao's growth. As long as Xintao started to go fully online, they would immediately sign a contract with their mobile app store and promise to give Xintao the first push.
How could Yin Xun not seize such a good opportunity? She instructed Mi Jin,
"The real war is coming. Go and use all the advertising channels to promote Xintao. Money is not a problem. You have to build up the cards. '
Mi Jin asked in confusion, "Haven't we always been fighting Blue Fox?"
Yin Xun smiled and explained, "In the past, we released the closed beta version. We could only download it with Zhenku and Xiaoguo phones. Although it sucked away a portion of Blue Fox's users, it actually didn't affect Blue Fox greatly. Blue Fox's mobile phone software hasn't been released yet. They mainly focus on the computer side. Nowadays, people usually buy phones along with computers. Not many people will buy a new phone just for some shopping software.
"Most of the users are still in Blue Fox. If Si Fan didn't mind me too much and taken the initiative to participate in this business war, this matter wouldn't have affected him much.
"However, it's different now. Xintao is about to be fully released. In the future, the software can be used with any phone. There will be no restrictions on who can use it. Coupled with the fact that we're more active and the preferential event that Blue Fox created previously, more users will be biased toward us. Therefore, Blue Fox could be in real danger now."
After listening to Yin Xun's explanation, Mi Jin finally understood. He could not help but sigh. "The business world is indeed a battlefield. It's fine for me to participate, but I won't be able to come up with a plan. Before you said all this, I never considered it."
Mi Jin followed Yin Xun's request and started sizing up the funds. He got various advertising companies to promote Xintao's online release. This time, the commotion was even greater than when Xintao first came online.
The Xintao event was still ongoing, and Yin Xun announced that Xintao would use a brand new delivery plan. No matter what occasion it was or how much traffic there was, as long as a user placed an order, it could be delivered the next day and could be delivered straight to their doorstep.
There had never been such a precedent before. Usually, deliveries would take at least four days to arrive, and sometimes even up to a week. It was because these logistics were too slow that the physical stores were never defeated by the online stores. Some people could not wait that long. If they had to wait so long for the delivery, they would buy it physically.
However, Xintao actually said that their express delivery could send purchases the next day. It immediately attracted a large number of users. Everyone went to Xintao's website to register. They were waiting for the new mode of express delivery to start. With that, they could shop as they pleased.
"You're in charge of watching Xintao and Blue Fox. I'll deal with the delivery." Yin Xun and Mi Jin left Xintao Building after the discussion.
Actually, Yin Xun had already been preparing for Xintao Express long before she got the investment. Everything had been confirmed and she was only short of funds.
Now that Lin Chan had gotten someone to transfer the funds over, Xintao would be able to complete the procedures in less than three days. The delivery issue that had been dragging them down would also be resolved.
Yin Xun was relieved, but Si Fan was extremely troubled at the moment. After he saw Xintao's advertisement, he grumpily called Cheng She to his office.
"How are you guys doing with the software application? How long has it been? Xintao is already fully online, and you guys haven't finished the job yet.. What am I raising you guys for? To freeload?"
...
Chapter 309: Can't Resign
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Si Fan threw a few pages of documents at Cheng She's face and snapped, "Xintao only has one programmer, and we have several. How can so many of you not compare to a single Mi Jin?"
Cheng She picked up the documents that had fallen to the ground and roughly looked at them. He was also surprised to see that Xintao was fully online already. He did not expect Xintao's programming team to be so strong. They had actually checked the bugs so quickly and could even cater to old phones.
However, the people from the technical department were not exactly useless. It was just that Mi Jin was too strong. Blue Fox's technical department had already gathered the best hackers in the country. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to complete it in such a short period of time.
"President Si, the technical department has just finished up and is preparing to test the software. Give them two to three days. As long as the bugs are eliminated, the software can be released immediately..."
"Two or three days?! I've already given you more time, and you still have the cheek to delay! Trash, what a bunch of trash!" Si Fan picked up the ornament beside the computer and smashed it on the ground. With a bang, the Fortune Toad shattered into pieces.
Cheng She looked at Si Fan, who was starting to go crazy again, and he trembled in fear. He did not dare to say a word, afraid that he would be beaten up like that toad ornament.
Although he was afraid, Cheng She still complained in his heart. Si Fan was really crazy. He even dared to destroy his Fortune Toad ornament. It was meant to bring good luck for wealth. He was not afraid of losing money by destroying it.
"Inform the people from the technical department. I don't care what method you use. Tomorrow at the latest, you must complete the software for me!" After Si Fan vented, his emotions were more stable. He looked at Cheng She and instructed impatiently.
"President Si, the software has just been completed. We haven't even had time to do the first test. There will definitely be many bugs. Even if we don't eat or drink for a day and night, we can't complete it." Cheng She was shocked by Si Fan's decision. Was he asking for someone's life?!
"Just give them two more days. Within two days, let them work overtime to eliminate the bugs. Then, after confirming that the software is stable..." "Two days? Xintao is already fully online. If we delay any longer and the users are all snatched away, how are we going to earn money?!" Si Fan interrupted Cheng She. "Go and inform the people from the technical department now. Tomorrow, at the latest, I have to see the results. If the software can't go online tomorrow, I'll fire them all!"
"But..."
"But what? Hurry up and tell them, or I'll fire you now!'
"Yes." Cheng She wanted to fight for more time, but when he heard Si Fan threatening to fire him, he immediately shut up. He helplessly stole a glance at Si Fan and left the office.
Si Fan was already a little crazy now. He was being suppressed by this woman who was his girlfriend's sister.
Cheng She had no doubt that if he kept talking, Si Fan would definitely fire him on the spot.
With such a cruel boss who forced them to work overtime every day without extra pay and even hit and scolded them, ordinary employees would have resigned long ago.
However, Cheng She could not resign. He also could not be fired by Si Fan. In short, he could not afford to leave the Blue Fox Company. After all, he had worked with Si Fan from the beginning. He knew too many secrets about Si Fan, including the matter of framing Mi Jin.
If he left Si Fan's control, these secrets would be in danger. Si Fan would surely not let him leave safely.
With Si Fan's personality, he might even find someone to kill Cheng She as soon as he left the company. Si Fan was definitely capable of this.
When he reached the door, Cheng She sighed. A few people in the company had already resigned to join Xintao. He heard that they had just started working and had already received all kinds of subsidies. Not only were the benefits good, but even the boss, Yin Xun, was very gentle. She never hit or scolded her employees and analyzed the reason when something happened.
He was envious. If only he could go over too...
However, this was just a dream. Cheng She thought for a moment and walked toward the technical department.
Si Fan did not know what Cheng She was thinking. He only knew that if he did not make a move now, Blue Fox would be completely suppressed by Xintao in the future.
Right now, he needed Yin Xun to be distracted. He needed to obtain first-hand information about Xintao. Thinking of how Yin Xun would soon be betrayed by the person she trusted the most, Si Fan finally smiled.
He took out his phone and called Chi Bo.
"Hey, you woke me up so early in the morning. You had better have something important..." After a long time, the other party picked up. His voice was irritable.
"Have you captured Mary's family?' Si Fan asked in a low voice..
...
Chapter 310: Her Brother Was Missing
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
'What capture... President Si!" Chi Bo must have just woken up. He had not even looked at the caller ID before picking up the call and snapping at the person.
When he heard Si Fan's voice, he finally came back to his senses and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, President Si. We took some time last night, but don't worry, the mission was completed perfectly. Her brother has already been tied up, and no one will be able to find him," Chi Bo said respectfully.
Upon hearing his words, Si Fan could already imagine him nodding and bowing over there. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes as he said, "This is your last chance. If you dare to fail again, you can get lost in the future!"
Chi Bo quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes. I promise that there won't be any problems this time! President Si, you can't throw me away. I still need you to save my life in the future! When can I escape overseas and get away from that tigress? I really can't take it for another day!"
By the end of his sentence, Chi Bo sounded like he was about to cry.
Si Fan frowned impatiently. Although he did not want to care about Chi Bo's predicament, he had no choice. Chi Bo was useful to him and he could not discard him now.
He comforted him, "As long as you can do these things well, I'll help you in the end.'
"President Si, you'll definitely help me later, right? If I'm by that tigress' side again, I'll be killed. She's hitting me more and more ruthlessly now..." Chi Bo cried and begged for help.
"Alright, I got it. Keep an eye on her brother. As long as you don't kill him, you can torture him however you want." When Si Fan heard Chi Bo crying, he felt his head hurt.
For the past few days, Yin MO had been crying in his ear. It was either her or Si Xia. Now, a grown man like him was also crying. Si Fan was getting more and more frustrated. After saying that, he hung up without waiting for Chi Bo's reaction.
After hanging up the phone, he called Mary himself. Before he made the call, he had prepared a voice changer and jammer so that the other party would not know who was calling.
Even calling the police was useless. The police could not find the origin of the signal.
His subordinates were too useless. They had actually let Chen Meng escape last time. Si Fan no longer trusted them.
It was safer for him to do the threatening himself. Now that he had reached this critical moment, all his preparations would be in vain if he failed..
Mary was currently dealing with the matter of celebrities getting used to the short video platform. Because the software's functions were simple, it was easy to do. Mi Jin quickly solved these problems.
Yin Xun named the short video website "Rhythm Video". It was a quirky and easy name to remember.
Regarding celebrities entering Rhythm Video, it should have been a very simple procedure, but she did not expect those celebrities to have such high expectations. Although they were not A-list celebrities, they were still very ostentatious.
It was already annoying enough that Mary needed to interact with them. What annoyed her further was that she suddenly could not contact her brother.
Her parents called her hundreds of times a day, urging her to find her younger brother. However, she still had work to do and could not leave her post. In the end, she was scolded by her parents again.
"Your brother is still young. What will we do if something happens to him...' Mary's mother cried over the phone.
"Mom, Brother is only two years younger than me. How could he suddenly get lost? He might have gone to a classmate's house to play again. This isn't the first time. How many times has it been? Every time, we've looked for him with great fanfare. In the end, when we found him, we realized that he was only at a classmate's house. It's all your fault for spoiling him too much." Mary suppressed the impatience in her heart and explained to her mother.
However, her mother did not agree. She said angrily, "You wretched girl, you've never liked your brother since you were young and always bullied him. Now, are you hoping that your brother will go missing so that you can monopolize the family assets in the future?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by taking over the family assets? Our 70-square-meter house?" Mary sighed helplessly. "I know you care about Brother, but don't accuse me of everything, okay? I'm really busy now. My boss has handed over the new project to me. I still have to make business talks now. I'll look for him when I have time, okay?"
Mary's mother was indignant and scolded, "You brat, what' does a girl like you have to be so busy for? Can't you just find a rich man to marry?! Why do you have to force yourself to live such a tiring life? You deserve it! Now you don't even care about your own brother. How did I give birth to a person like you back then..
Before she could finish, Mary hung up..
...
Chapter 311: Her Brother Was Kidnapped
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Her manager had just called her. She could not waste any more time.
Rhythm Video was still a small website, so those celebrities did not look at it highly.
In the entertainment industry, status was the most important thing. It would affect the subsequent resources. Therefore, entertainment platforms and celebrity endorsements were complementary.
Luxury goods got endorsements from celebrities because it was a sign that their products were stylish. On the other hand, celebrities endorsed luxury goods because it showed their status and resources were good.
For those celebrities who did not have enough status, they would do this even if they did not get paid for it. This was because they needed a reputation.
However, to work with Rhythm Video, Yin Xun could only rely on these celebrities to carry the platform. Because of that, they were all arrogant. If not for the fact that Rhythm Video gave them enough money, they probably would not even take a look at this collaboration.
No matter what, the other party had a high status. Even if the person was not an A-list celebrity, Mary did not dare to provoke him now. She could only lower her voice and speak nicely. She was already filled with anger after discussing the collaboration.
She was already under a lot of pressure from working these two days, and her family kept finding trouble for her, causing her to be unable to rest well. She looked very exhausted. She even almost made a mistake when discussing business with the celebrity's manager.
Her behavior made her agent very displeased, and the collaboration almost failed.
After some verbal battle, they finally signed two B-list celebrities. During the closed beta of Rhythm Video, they would get the staff to create accounts and occasionally post some of their daily videos. The celebrities already had a very large fan base, so even if they casually posted a few videos, they would still bring a lot of traffic.
Two celebrities still were not enough. Mary checked the time. There were still agents from both companies to discuss with, but fortunately, it was in the afternoon, which gave her plenty of time to rest.
Regarding her brother's matter, Mary planned to wait until she was done with work. She did not believe that something could really happen to someone his age. The main thing was that her brother had done a lot of running away from home in the past. Every time, he had cut off all contact. Her family was worried about calling the police, but he was actually just throwing a tantrum.
At a nearby coffee shop, Mary ordered a cup of coffee and bought a sandwich. She planned to eat something and continue working later. However, before she could eat much, her phone rang again.
Thinking that it was her parents again, she slowly took it out of her pocket. However, when she saw the caller ID, there was no number on it. It was an empty number.
Mary froze. 'Is such a call possible?'
She walked to the entrance of the coffee shop and pressed the answer button in confusion. A rough voice came from the phone. She knew immediately that the other party had used a voice changer.
'You're Mary?" the man asked bluntly when she picked up.
Mary frowned. "That's right. Who are you?"
"You don't have to care about who I am. I'm calling you to tell you something. Your brother is in our hands now. If you want him to live, listen to me obediently. Otherwise, I'll kill him." The voice was emotionless.
"My brother is well at home. How could he be with you? Who are you? Why are you calling me?" Mary did not believe him and thought he was a liar.
Seeing that Mary did not believe him, the caller did not get angry. Instead, he chuckled. Then Mary heard a ding from the phone, and a familiar voice came from inside.
"Ah... Sis, help me! Help me, they're hitting me..." It was her brother Mark's voice.
Hearing his terrified cry for help, Mary felt a bang in her head, followed by a buzzing in her ears. Her brother was really missing, or he had been kidnapped!
Seeing that Mary did not move, the other party did something to Mark again. Mark let out a heart-wrenching cry before his voice disappeared.
"How is it? Do you believe me now?" the man asked again.
Mary's heart skipped a beat. She quickly tried to stop him. "Did you really catch my brother? Please don't hurt him. What do you want? Do you want money? I'll give you as much as you want, but please don't hurt him!"
Mary sat down on the steps, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
However, although she was almost scared to death, she still tried her best to maintain her composure. She knew that if she acted too flustered at this moment, she would be completely controlled by the other party.
The silence on the other side lasted only for a moment, followed by Mark's painful cry for help.
It seemed that they were still torturing Mark. Mary had no idea what methods they were using, but she was so anxious that she was about to cry..
...
Chapter 312: Betraying Yin Xun
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
The caller smiled. The voice from the voice changer was like the whisper of a demon. It even had a little echo, making it sound especially sinister and terrifying. "l don't want money. I just want you to do something for me. As long as you're obedient and help me with this, I'll return your brother to you."
Mary's heart sank. She had been an assistant for many years and had seen all kinds of people. She knew about kidnappings like this.
If the other party simply wanted money, it would actually be a good thing. The hostage could be saved with just money. What she was most afraid of was the kind of people who did not want money and could threaten her life. It meant that this matter was very difficult to handle.
Trying to suppress the panic in her heart, Mary asked in a low voice, "What is
"You're the assistant of the boss of Xintao Company, right?" the person asked.
Mary nodded and heard the other party continue, "Since you're an assistant, it should be very easy for you to come into contact with the boss's confidential documents. What I want you to do is very simple. Go steal your boss's official seal and don't let her find out. I'll return it to you after I use it. '
Stealing official seals?
The other party stated that they wanted Xintao's official seal, which meant that they must definitely Xintao's counterpart. As far as she knew, there was only one competitor for Xintao at the moment, and that was... Blue Fox.
Could it be that the other party was from Blue Fox?
Mary's mind was racing. From the time she worked beside Yin Xun until now, the only person who had been going against Yin Xun was Second Miss's boyfriend, Si Fan. So, could the other party be Si Fan's lackey?
Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, the person urged her impatiently, "Hurry up, I don't have time to wait for you. Are you going to do it or not? This concerns your brother's life, so you'd better make a careful decision. I'll give you three seconds to consider. If you're late, I won't wait any longer."
After that person finished speaking, he began to count.
"I'll do it!" Mary was afraid that he would really do something bad to Mark if he hung up the phone, so she quickly agreed.
Seeing that Mary had agreed, the man chuckled softly. "Hehehe, as expected of someone who has been an assistant for so many years. You 're indeed sensible. Very good. Don't worry, as long as you help me steal the official seal, I won't hurt your brother."
"The official seal has always been kept by our boss herself. I don't know where it is now. I need time to find it. Moreover, our boss is almost always in the company. I don't have the chance to make a move," Mary said with a frown.
The caller thought for a moment before saying, "This matter is easy to handle. I'll give you three days. In these three days, I'll lure her into leaving the company and give you enough time to do it. As for the exact time and when you'll give me the official seal, you don't have to ask now. I'll contact you when the time comes."
That person was probably afraid that his information would be exposed if he spoke for too long. After saying that, he hung up.
Mary looked at the empty number in the call record and frowned.
At this moment, she felt as if she was dreaming. Everything was so unreal.
She opened her mouth and said something that even she could not hear clearly. It was as if the voice came from a very far distance and was not from her at all.
Mary did not get a good rest for the past few days. Now that she suddenly received the news that her brother had been kidnapped, she was still in a daze. She looked at the sky blankly and was about to leave.
"Hey, Miss, you haven't paid the bill!" However, she had only taken two steps when the waiter rushed out.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot." Mary seemed to have lost her soul. She took out the money to pay the bill and left after that.
Her brother had been kidnapped. This was not a dream. What she had only seen on the news had really happened to her. What should she do now?
The man told her not to tell anyone, or he would torture Marj to death.
He couldn't call the police. It seemed that if he wanted to save his brother, he could only do it the way he said.
However, when she thought about how Yin Xun was usually so good to her, but she was going to betray her, Mary began to feel conflicted. She did not want to betray Yin Xun, but she also did not want to give up on saving her brother. What should she do?
Mary was so focused on this that she didn't even notice that she was in the middle of the road. The road light had turned red, but she did not realize that she was still walking forward.
"Beep_••
Suddenly, a few ear-piercing honks pulled her back to reality. She turned around and saw that the road was filled with cars. She was slowly running a red light.
"Do you want to die?'
"If you want to die, go find a place with no one around. Don't delay other people's matters here.. How unlucky.
...
Chapter 313: Danger Behind the Scenes
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Several drivers around her opened their windows and scolded her. When Mary saw this, she quickly apologized and walked quickly across the road.
"Sister Mary, I've been looking for you for a long time, but you didn't answer my calls. So here you are." A familiar voice sounded from behind her. Mary turned around and saw Yin Rui walking over with a shopping bag in his hand.
When she saw Yin Rui, Mary remembered that she had only seen Yin Rui once in the morning. Because she was too busy, she had forgotten about Yin Rui.
'Where have you been?" Mary asked.
Yin Rui was personally passed to her by Yin Xun to manage. When she thought of her own younger brother, she looked at Yin Rui deeply. This time, she had to take good care of Yin Rui. She could not let him suffer the same fate.
The person Yin Xun had provoked this time was too strong. He even dared to do such an illegal thing. She did not know what they would do next. Her poor brother had already been implicated by her.
"Uh, I went to meet my classmate. Sister Mary, don't tell my sister. You know her personality. If she finds out that I'm with my classmates, she'll kill me," Yin Rui pleaded with Mary.
Mary forced a smile and said, "Just this once. I won't help you hide it next time."
Yin Rui was instantly happy. He smiled and said, "Alright, Sister Mary. You're indeed the most understanding person."
The corners of Mary's mouth stiffened. It was obvious that she was faking a smile. It was an uglier sight than crying.
Yin Rui realized that something was wrong and asked with concern, "Sister Mary, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, go back and rest in the afternoon. Don't tire yourself out. My sister will definitely give you leave."
"It's fine." Mary raised her hand to pat her cheek and sighed. Then, she pretended to be casual and said, "Lil Rui, let me ask you something. If, hypothetically, a person is captured by a criminal who threatens his family that he would be harmed, do you think you should agree to their demands or not?"
"Of course, we can't agree, but we can't reject him directly. This will anger the criminal. We should call the police. This is the safest way," Yin Rui replied after thinking for a while.
He was surprised by the question. After all, with their identities, it was always easy for them to attract the attention of criminals. He had heard much news about rich young masters being kidnapped since he was young, but the other party only wanted money in those cases.
Because of their identities, the criminals also knew the consequences of killing them, so they basically disappeared after receiving the money. They wouldn't really kill them.
However, Mary was still worried. She said, "But the other party won't let us call the police and we're forbidden to tell anyone. They said that ifwe tell anyone, we'll torture him to death. What should we do?'
Although Mary usually looked like she was in a hurry and could help Yin Xun with any business matters, she was only limited to work issues. Mary had never encountered such a thing before, so when she suddenly received the news, she panicked and did not know how to resolve it.
Yin Rui saw Mary's expression and asked in confusion, "Sister Mary, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Hearing Yin Rui's question, Mary suddenly came to her senses. She could not continue; it would be troublesome if Yin Rui found out.
Moreover, she had already been targeted. Yin Rui would only be in more danger if he continued to follow her.
At the thought of this, Mary said to Yin Rui, "Lil Rui, go back to the company first. I have something else to deal with. I'll bring you back after I'm done."
Yin Rui frowned. Mary's face was pale and she looked dazed. It was obvious that something was wrong.
He wanted to ask something else, but Mary did not give him the chance. She pushed him away before he could say anything. "Go back quickly. I have some personal matters to attend to."
After asking Yin Rui to leave, Mary looked at the time. The appointment with the agent was in an hour. She had to hurry and prepare.
Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang again.
The phone had been ringing for the past few days, and it was always a bad thing. As a result, she was instinctively afraid when she heard her phone ring.
She did not know if it was her parents or the mysterious caller. She took a deep breath and finally took out her phone from her pocket.
Sure enough, it was her mother, the person she was most afraid of.
"Hello, Mom.
"Don't call me Mom, you wretched girl. I told you to find a solid job and find a rich man to marry, but you didn't listen and insisted on going out to work on your own. You said that you had to rely on yourself. Now, you haven't even made a name for yourself but you 've already implicated your brother! I don't care what methods you use.. Hurry up and save your brother, or I'll cut ties with you!'

Chapter 314: New Delivery Plan
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Mary had just opened her mouth when her mother interrupted her and scolded her.
This time, Mary was not angry at being scolded. Instead, she focused on asking another question. She asked in shock, "Mom, how did you know about this?"
"The person who kidnapped your brother called me. He said that as long as you're obedient, he won't hurt your brother. You must not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, if something happens to your brother, I won't forgive you! '
Her mother was probably frightened out of her wits; her voice was trembling.
"Mom, don't be so anxious. I know this matter is very serious, but we probably can't solve it ourselves, so shouldn't we call the police..." Although Mary was already panicking in her heart, she still tried her best to maintain her shock and comfort her mother.
However, the moment she mentioned calling the police, her mother became even more agitated and stopped her. "No! Do you want your brother to die? Let me tell you, if you dare to call the police, I'll commit suicide! Didn't the caller ask you to steal some seal? Just take it out secretly. Is work more important than your brother's life?"
Mary was already anxious in her heart. At this moment, after being scolded by her mother, she finally could not take it anymore. She sobbed as she said, "Do you know what the consequences would be if I stole the official seal? It would ruin President Yin!"
"I don't care. All I know is that you're finished if you don't save your brother. I'm telling you, Mary, you have to save your brother or we'll break off our mother-daughter relationship!"
With that, her mother hung up without waiting for Mary's reply.
Mary was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She felt helpless and did not know who to ask for help. She squatted on the ground and cried.
The passersby did not know what had happened to her and pointed at her, but no one went forward to help her. Mary squatted by the roadside and curled up into a ball, not knowing what to do.
Yin Xun now had the funds and was preparing for the delivery system.
She first contacted the two express delivery companies she worked with and informed them to continue to follow the current rules. There was no need to speed up their deliveries, but the price had to be lowered.
"President Yin, we are originally a small company, and we have been suppressed by a few other delivery companies. Our survival ability is already very weak. Now, we also have to lower the fees even further? How are we going to earn money?" The delivery boss was a little dissatisfied.
Yin Xun comforted him. "Don't worry about that. The platform will bear the delivery fees in the future. In short, we won't let you suffer a loss."
Then, Yin Xun told the two bosses about her plan for the new delivery fee.
General users had a strange habit that they would rather buy something slightly more expensive than paying a delivery fee. If they had to pay a delivery fee every time they bought something, it would greatly reduce the user's desire to spend.
Therefore, Yin Xun decided to raise the price of goods slightly and then use freebies to make up for the difference.
As for the money that the delivery company earned, the platform would compensate for it.
In addition, Yin Xun also decided to set up lockers at the entrances of various districts to store parcels. She would use a real name system and calculate points according to the number of times the parcels were stored. When the points reached a certain level, the users would receive a gift. This way, the users would also accept the chore of going out to collect the parcels.
Of course, in order to prevent the deliveries from being stored in the cabinet for too long and piling up, the points were also linked to the storage time.
"If you take it away within 24 hours, your points will be normal. If it exceeds 24 hours but is sooner than 48 hours, your points will be reduced by half.
If it exceeded 48 hours, the points obtained would be zero. This would not only motivate everyone to take the package as soon as possible, but also make it convenient for users who were not at home.
Of course, the delivery company encouraged the users to take it as soon as possible. If they took it within an hour of delivery, the points would be doubled.
This was the plan for two ordinary couriers. They only needed to make deliveries normally. In the end, as long as they placed the packages of the same area in the courier cabinet, they did not have to care about anything else.
The bosses of the two delivery companies did not expect Yin Xun to think of such a novel and practical method. They were rather impressed. They happily agreed to reduce the delivery fee after this.
"Did President Yin think of all these by yourself?" The delivery boss asked in admiration.
Yin Xun smiled and said, "Sort of. There's just one issue. Although your two companies are using ordinary express delivery routes, your service has to be good. You must be patient with your customers' questions and not get into an argument with them. If you encounter difficult customers, just report them to the platform. The platform has a special legal department to deal with them..

Chapter 315: Something Happened
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
The biggest problem with express delivery was speed and the ability to ensure the safety of the goods. Users bought all kinds of things. When fragile items were involved, it was inevitable that they would occasionally break. When this happened, it was normal for customers to defend their rights and it made sense they would lose their temper.
However, the employees of the delivery company could not lose their temper with the customers. Yin Xun remembered that in her original world, there was a case where a user gave a bad evaluation of the delivery, and the deliveryman gave the customer a cursed item for dead people in response. At that time, the matter became a big incident.
Since she was running her own business now, she had to put an end to this kind of thing.
The delivery boss agreed with everything. They did not expect Yin Xun to have such plans. Now, they were completely relieved by the direction they were heading.
After discussing the issue of cooperative delivery with third parties, Yin Xun began to deal with Xintao Express.
Xintao Express was the platform's own express delivery. It focused on speed and service quality. Yin Xun had to keep an eye on it personally.
Just as she was reading the proposal, she saw Yin Rui walk in dejectedly.
Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and asked, 'What happened? Why are you so dejected? Did Mary scold you?'
Yin Xun looked behind Yin Rui. There was no one else behind him. She asked, "Didn't you guys go to talk about celebrities moving in? Why are you here so soon? Is Mary back already? How was the business discussion?"
Yin Xun had asked too many questions, and Yin Rui did not know which to answer first.
In the end, he did not answer any of them. He looked at Yin Xun and said, "Sister, I keep feeling that something is wrong with Sis Mary..
Yin Rui told Yin Xun what Mary had said and how she was before she came back.
"Does Sis Mary have a younger brother?" Yin Rui asked.
Yin Xun looked at Yin Rui and asked him with a frown, "How did you know? Mary didn't tell you, right? The employee's information is confidential. You're not super smart, so it's impossible for you to make a judgment..
Yin Rui did not expect to be insulted by Yin Xun when they were talking about serious matters. Yin Rui said indignantly, "How am I not smart?!"
After Yin Rui retorted, his expression immediately became serious. He looked at Yin Xun and said, "1 heard it from Second Sister. The last time she came home, the door to her room was not closed tightly. At that time, I went to the bathroom and heard her talking on the phone. She said something about catching Mary's brother..
At this point, Yin Rui's eyes suddenly widened. He asked Yin Xun in disbelief, "Big Sister, could it be that Second Sister did something like that?! But that's impossible, right? Although her brain isn't very good sometimes, she's still a kind person. It's impossible for her to kidnap someone else. Could it be Si Fan, then? That's even more unlikely. Brother Si Fan is a very nice person. He even bought me a game console..."
Listening to Yin Rui's chattering away, Yin Xun asked him, "Is Si Fan a good person just because he bought you a game console?"
Yin Rui nodded heavily. "Of course. Even Dad didn't buy it for me, but he gave it to me. It's a limited edition. I say, Big Sister, Ive always been puzzled. Why are you so against Brother Si Fan? Second Sister is the problematic one, not him."
Yin Xun did not say anything. At this moment, she was thinking if Mary's younger brother had really been kidnapped by Si Fan.
Thinking back to Chen Meng, it seemed that Si Fan could really do such a thing.
So what was the purpose? Did he want Mary to set her up or get something?
She glanced at Yin Rui. Seeing how this guy trusted Si Fan so much, he would surely be in danger in the future.
"I understand. You can go back first." Yin Xun lowered her eyes and began to think about how to deal with this matter.
From Yin Rui's words, something had indeed happened to Mary's family. As for the truth of the matter, she needed to investigate, but she could not let more people know. Otherwise, if someone was killed, it would be too late to salvage the situation.
This was a matter of life and death. Moreover, if Mary was targeted, a large part of the motive must be directed at her. She had to be prepared in advance.
Yin Rui did not expect Yin Xun to ask him to go back directly. He thought that he would be assigned another job.
"Sis, are you suddenly being kind and letting me stop working for you?' Yin Rui looked quite happy.
Yin Xun rolled her eyes at him. "You can go home, but you can't go play with your scoundrel friends. If I find out, I'll send you to remedial classes and let you study from morning to night. You'll be busier than you are in school."
"You..." Yin Rui pointed at Yin Xun and only spoke after a long while. "Are you really my sister? Why are you so heartless?! They're my classmates, not bad people!"
"President Yin, something has happened." As the two of them were talking, Mi Jin carried some documents over..
...
Chapter 316: Taking The First Step
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
When Mi Jin came in and saw Yin Rui, he immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yin Xun said to Yin Rui, "Go home first. Stay at home obediently."
"Sister, didn't you say that you wanted me to come to work to train me? What's the matter? Is work still a secret that you can't let me hear about?" Yin Rui leaned in front of Yin Xun and asked her with a smile.
Yin Xun rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, "Alright, if you're really curious, we'll sign a contract. You'll become an official employee of Xintao and follow Mi Jin. Then, you'll know everything about Mi Jin's department."
Yin Rui grinned. He knew that Yin Xun would be like this, so he quickly rejected it. "It's such an important confidential matter. Sis, you should listen to it by yourself. I'm leaving!'
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Yin Xun's reply. He did not even look back.
He knew that Yin Xun would do what she said. If he really left any later, she might really pull him to sign the contract. Then, he would lose his freedom in the future.
After Yin Rui left, Yin Xun asked Mi Jin, 'What's the matter?'
Mi Jin frowned and handed the information in his hand to Yin Xun. At the same time, he showed his phone to Yin Xun. "We're currently advertising for Xintao to go online. It's the time when it's the most popular. Seeing that we're about to go online on a large scale, Blue Fox directly appeared in the mobile app store without any warning. Now, any phone can also download Blue Fox. I think they're deliberately beating us to the first step and occupying the market share in advance!
"I suspect that Blue Fox did this on purpose. They were always watching us. When Blue Fox saw that we were about to go online, they quickly launched their software online. After that, all the traffic that we obtained from advertising was taken away by them. President Yin, we can't continue to wait like this. Why don't we go online immediately? As for the delivery matter, can't you just release it afterward when it's done?"
During this period of time, Mi Jin spent so much money to make the software more popular. Then, just as they were about to go online, another similar software beat them to the punch.
The users were looking forward to the launch. When they saw that there was an alternative, they naturally went to Blue Fox to register and try shopping. When Xintao finally went online too, the traffic would be greatly reduced. Was this not equivalent to giving up the victory to others?
Yin Xun glanced at the advertisement about Blue Fox on the phone. They were playing tricks. Some people who did not know much about using the Internet would mistake Blue Fox for Xintao.
This was not plagiarism, so she could not sue him even if she wanted to.
"This matter can't be rushed. The more urgent it is, the easier it is to make mistakes." After watching Blue Fox's promotion, Yin Xun opened the app store and looked at the app. She did not download it but only looked at the introduction. When she saw the words on the icon that were so small that they were almost invisible, she immediately smiled.
Then, she said unhurriedly, 'Xintao and Xintao Express are complementary.
Both of them are indispensable. You've seen the results of the test on the Zhenku phones. Because our express delivery is relatively lousy, many users were dissatisfied. There are bad reviews, complaints, and even some people who went to Blue Fox because the express delivery was too slow. Express delivery is too important now. Now, these are the feedback from Zhenku users. There aren 't even that many of them.
"Think about it. Once we're fully online, the number of registered users will increase exponentially. At that time, it will be even more difficult to rely on these two express delivery services. We have to wait for Xintao Express to be ready before going online. What's more, there seems to be a problem with their software..."
Yin Xun supported her chin with a hand and pointed at the line of small words for Mi Jin to see. "The closed beta experience version. Isn't this what's used to let users test bugs? I think Blue Fox couldn't wait any longer, so they went online without waiting for the tests."
Mi Jin followed Yin Xun's finger and saw the small words. He actually did not notice them just now as they were too small.
However, there was actually nothing wrong with a trial version. Nowadays, there were many brands and models of phones. It was impossible to test every single phone. Different phones had different operating capabilities, so many softwares would be released as a trial version to see the stability of the software.
The trial version was usually more simplified because once something went wrong, the consequences would be minimal. They could then take it off the shelves to test and repair it again.
Yin Xun did not know anything about this, but Mi Jin did, so he explained to Yin Xun the details.
However, Yin Xun was not in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Si Fan doesn't think that far ahead. Through this period of observation, I realized that Si Fan doesn't have much business sense. His method of dealing with his enemies is physical assault. Since he can't solve the business problem, he'll deal with the person who caused the problem.."

Chapter 317: Will You Betray Me
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Thinking of Mary, Yin Xun could not help but worry.
She did not know if Yin Rui was telling the truth or not. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she had to take this matter seriously. If it was true, then it was equivalent to Mary being implicated by her. Although she knew that the reason was not her fault, she still felt uncomfortable. Yin Xun decided to deal with this matter soon.
"How's the testing of Rhythm Video's software going?" There was no need to worry about Blue Fox at the moment. They would only know after observing for a while. Right now, there was another important thing for Mi Jin—Rhythm
Video.
Mi Jin nodded. "It can be released at any time. This software is not like Xintao.
That has many functions and needs to be simplified to the greatest extent. This app only needs to watch videos, so it should be very simple."
"Alright, you stay in the company and continue to keep an eye on Blue Fox. Call me if there are any changes. I still have something to deal with now. I'll leave first." After bidding farewell to Mi Jin, Yin Xun left Xintao.
Sitting in the car, she took out her phone and called Mary to ask where she was now. After receiving the address, Yin Xun drove out of the parking lot.
At this moment, Mary had just finished discussing the collaboration and was about to return to the company when Yin Xun invited her to the coffee shop.
"President Yin, this is the information that we have already discussed." Mary placed the folder in front of Yin Xun. At this moment, both of her eyes were red and swollen. She was in low spirits, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
Yin Xun picked up the document and glanced at it casually. She smiled slightly and said to Mary, "I'm not worried about you. I know you've always been very headstrong. No matter what mission I give you, you'll complete it perfectly."
After taking a sip of coffee, Yin Xun asked Mary, "Mary, what do you think of me as your boss?"
Mary did not expect Yin Xun to suddenly ask her such a question. She thought that she must have made a mistake, and Yin Xun was blaming her. She immediately sat up straight and replied, "President Yin, you are very good to me. No, that's not right. It's not just me. You are also very good to all the employees. You never let us work overtime for nothing. You would give us three times the salary for overtime work..."
Mary began to talk about Yin Xun's good qualities one after another. In the end, even someone as thick-skinned as Yin Xun felt a little embarrassed.
"Stop, stop. I know I'm fine. Not bad, not bad." Yin Xun interrupted Mary and looked at her meaningfully. "Then will you betray me?"
Smack!
Mary's hand trembled and she lost her grip on the coffee cup. It fell to the ground and shattered.
"Miss, are you hurt?" The waiter hurried over when he heard the commotion.
"It's fine. We'll compensate you when we settle the bill later," Yin Xun said.
The waiter cleaned up the broken pieces, then brought Mary another cup.
Mary waited for the waiter to leave before she whispered, "No, no. Why would I betray you?'
Yin Xun sighed and looked at Mary intently. "I believe you. Since that's the case, you're my employee. If you encounter anything, you can tell me at any time. No matter what it is, I'll help you."
She was giving Mary a chance. Yin Xun did not expect Mary to tell the truth right now.
This was a coffee shop, and there were many people around her. She did not know if there would be anyone watching her. Yin Xun waited for Mary to take the initiative to tell her.
The reason why she had chosen to call out Mary so boldly was to guard against the people behind her. They would only be at ease if they saw that she knew nothing.
"I, I actually..." Mary's expression was conflicted. She wanted to say it, but she did not dare to. After hesitating for a while, she still did not say anything.
Yin Xun smiled and comforted her. "Alright, actually, I came over to see your results. I've been very busy recently. Since you've already signed the contract,
I'll give you a few days off. How about a paid vacation? Go back and relax. Leave the rest to me.'
"No, there's no need for that. It's fine. I can do it. There's no need to rest." Mary was so nervous that her face instantly turned red.
Yin Xun had been staring at Mary. Seeing her unnatural expression, she immediately understood that Mary had something on her mind. This was because no matter what difficulties Mary encountered at work, she had never been like this.
It seemed that Yin Rui was right.
"Okay, I got it. I just came to see how you're doing. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave." Yin Xun got up to pay the bill and said goodbye to Mary.
After leaving the coffee shop, Yin Xun returned to her car and called Mi Jin.
"Tell the people in the company not to go near my office if there's nothing important today," Yin Xun instructed.
Mi Jin was confused and asked, "President Yin, what's this for? Is there something wrong?'
...
Chapter 318: Personally Delivering
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
"You don't have to ask. I'll tell you in the future. In any case, just don't let unrelated people near my office. If there are any other abnormal movements, remember to inform me.
"Okay, President Yin."
After Yin Xun finished instructing Mi Jin, he drove to the warehouse of Xintao Express Delivery.
Now that Xintao Express was in the trial operating stage, she needed to experience the system herself just in case. After all, she used to be a worker and knew how the person-in-charge could deceive her superiors.
If she did not see it for herself, she would only see what the person-in-charge wanted her to see.
The warehouse was in the suburbs. Yin Xun drove for almost an hour before arriving. Before she came, she informed the person-in-charge and asked them to arrange things for her. In order to have better deliveries, Yin Xun even learned to drive a delivery car.
Yin Xun wanted to get to work directly when she arrived, but she did not expect that all the employees would line up to welcome her when she arrived.
"Welcome President Yin for the inspection!" Dozens of employees stood in two rows. They held balloons in their hands as they said this sentence in unison.
The person-in-charge, Wen Yan, had a face full of smiles as he walked over and greeted Yin Xun. "President Yin, are you going to the warehouse to inspect, or are you going to the office to look through the information?"
YinXun, "
Before she came, she had clearly told Wen Yan to keep a low profile. Why was he so high-profile? How was she going to blend in naturally and observe the working atmosphere?
"Neither. I want to experience the feeling of being a courier myself," Yin Xun said helplessly. "Didn't I say that you just have to help me prepare? Don't make it public. Why did you pull all the employees over?"
Wen Yan laughed as he said, 'They are having a break now, and the leader came over personally to work. They will definitely welcome you." After he finished speaking, Wen Yan went over to Yin Xun's side and quietly said, "President Yin, the salary that you are giving them is rather high. They are set to receive double the usual overtime, after all.
"Do you really want to be a courier yourself? But it's very tiring to deliver packages. A man will be exhausted after working for a day. You're a girl. I'm afraid you can't take the burden..." Wen Yan looked troubled. How could a boss personally come down to do physical work?
"It's alright. Just treat it as me experiencing life," Yin Xun said with a smile.
Seeing that Yin Xun insisted, Wen Yan could only do as he was told.
"Everyone, disperse and go take a break!" Wen Yan signaled for everyone to disperse. He turned his head around and said to Yin Xun, "President Yin, it is not that I am trying to curry favor with you on purpose. This is your first time doing this kind of work. You don't know how to bring the goods around when you are delivering packages. Although the area that everyone sends to is fixed, that area is also very big. Even the old employees would have trouble finding a specific place, let alone you.
"Now, everyone knows that you're here and what you look like. When you go and experience the system, you might not know the address. Just ask one of our employees and you'll figure it out. Everyone is wearing work clothes, so it's easy to recognize them."
Yin Xun took a deep look at Wen Yan. She did not expect this person to be so considerate. She could not rule out the possibility that he just wanted to please her, though.
However, his was of explanation was not bad.
"Alright, thank you." Yin Xun accepted the help with a smile.
Wen Yan helped Yin Xun bring a small three-wheeled motorcycle and personally taught her what to do.
This world was not very developed yet, unlike Yin Xun's original world, where everyone relied on electronic equipment and everything could be done by scanning a code. In this world, delivery addresses actually needed to be memorized manually. There was no map, so she could only rely on herself to find the place. Seeing that so many goods were in different places, Yin Xun already felt pressured.
After understanding everything that she needed to know, Yin Xun finally left to deliver the goods. She drove the three-wheeled motorcycle that was filled with packages. The employees who passed by all greeted her. "President Yin, if you get lost, you must give us a call. We will go look for you. Don't wander around on your own. You will definitely get lost!"
YinXun, "
Listening to the staff's instructions, she felt like a child who was going on a long trip. Her parents were worried that she would not be able to find her way, so they kept reminding her.
Fortunately, Wen Yan had given Yin Xun a map of the area. Yin Xun's delivery went smoothly. She carried the package and drove to deliver it to the customers personally. From time to time, she would record where she needed to improve and where she needed to pay attention.
The things Yin Xun went to deliver were relatively small packages. They were not heavy and the range was quite small.
However, it was afternoon and the sun was at its hottest. There was no shade in front of the three-wheeled motorcycle, so the sun shone directly on Yin Xun, making her sweat profusely. The hair on her forehead was stuck to her forehead, making her look a little disheveled..
...
Chapter 319: Fang Yao's Delivery
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
"Looks like we have to build a shed for the delivery vehicles," Yin Xun muttered to herself.
In just a short while, Yin Xun felt that she had been tanned to a certain degree, and her exposed skin was starting to turn red.
Although she was very tired, Yin Xun felt that she was doing alright until she saw the next delivery address she was about to travel to. She immediately wailed in her heart.
There was actually an order from Fang Yao. She had to personally deliver it to the Fang Corporation building. After all, Xintao Express Delivery was mainly about delivering goods to the doorstep of the customer.
However, Fang Yao's injuries had yet to recover. Should he not be at home now?
He was shopping in Xintao and had even chosen Xintao Express. He probably wanted to see how the project was doing. After all, his family was the investor.
Since that was the case, she had to serve him well and try to satisfy Fang Yao.
At the thought of this, Yin Xun tidied up her appearance, then drove the car to the entrance of the building and walked in.
However, just as she reached the door, she was stopped by the security guard. "Hey, you're not allowed to enter. Leave the package here. The employees will come to get it after work. "
Since she was not allowed to enter the building, Yin Xun could only give up. However, she still had to ask the client what to do. As long as the client was willing, Xintao Express could change the time and address before delivering it to the client personally. This was Yin Xun's request.
Yin Xun took out her express delivery phone and called Fang Yao. After a long time, the call was picked up.
"Mr. Fang Yao, is it? I'm from Xintao Express. Your delivery has arrived, but the security guard at the entrance of the building won't let me in. Do you want to change the time or address, or do you want to come down and get it yourself? Or do you want me to leave the delivery at the door and you can pick it up when you have the time?"
Yin Xun did not deliberately change her voice because she felt that Fang Yao would not recognize her just by listening to her voice. Moreover, she was using a mobile phone that was specially used for express delivery.
However,Yin Xun underestimated Fang Yao. Just as she finished asking, she heard Fang Yao ask her in confusion, "Yin Xun? Are you Yin Xun?'
Yin Xun did not expect Fang Yao's ears to be so sharp.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I was experiencing the delivery system. I didn't expect you to buy something too. Your building doesn't allow entry, so where should I put it? '
Since Fang Yao already knew it was her, there was no need to be particular since the two of them were so familiar with each other. She would follow Fang Yao's instructions.
"Okay, wait for me." Fang Yao hung up the phone.
She thought that Fang Yao would ask her to leave it at the entrance of the building or bring it home for him after work. However, she did not expect Fang Yao to personally call the front desk and ask the security guards to let her in!
"Miss Yin, I am sorry. We did not know that you were President Fang's...friend, so we did not let you in. Please go in now..." The security guard who did not let Yin Xun in earlier apologized to Yin Xun.
At this moment, the receptionist also came out. She had a strange look on her face as she looked at Yin Xun. She smiled and said, "l am sorry, Miss Yin. I have made you wait for a long time. President Fang is waiting for you upstairs. I will bring you over."
"Uh... Okay." Yin Xun nodded with a smile and followed the receptionist into the building.
After entering the building, Yin Xun secretly sized up the interior. She was currently a courier, and the building was filled with employees. They did not know her identity, so she had to leave a good impression on them.
The Fang Corporation was indeed one of the top companies in the country. The interior of the building was much better than the Yin Corporation. It was filled with the smell of money.
From the moment she walked into the building, every employee who passed by was sizing her up. Perhaps they were curious as to why a courier like her could enter the building.
The receptionist brought Yin Xun to the 23rd floor.
Yin Xun realized that this floor was a meeting room. Through the glass wall, Yin Xun saw Fang Yao having a meeting inside.
Seeing that Yin Xun had come up, Fang Yao gestured for her to wait. Yin Xun nodded in agreement.
When the people in the meeting saw Fang Yao looking outside, they all turned to look at Yin Xun. When they saw Yin Xun's delivery uniform, they all revealed surprised expressions.
The receptionist invited Yin Xun to sit next door and wait for Fang Yao. She poured a cup of tea for Yin Xun and said, "Miss Yin, our President Fang is in a meeting right now. You might need to wait for him for a while. He said that he has something to tell you."
"Oh, okay." Yin Xun did not stand on ceremony. She had not drunk a sip of water since she started working and had sweated buckets. She was indeed thirsty.
Facing the gazes of the other employees of the company , she did not shy away. She was not doing any shady work. It was just delivering packages. It was normal. There was nothing to be embarrassed about..
...
Chapter 320: President Makes A Delivery
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
She was only worried before because the other party was Fang Yao.
Previously, Fang Yao had been skeptical about her project. Now, he was even using Xintao to see their express delivery. It seemed like he wanted to experience it for himself and see what was different.
For the sake of their future collaboration, Yin Xun decided that she had to perform particularly well in front of him.
The receptionist was very responsible. She sat beside Yin Xun and waited for Fang Yao. After five to six minutes, Fang Yao finally came out of the conference room. The receptionist greeted him and left.
"This is for you." Yin Xun handed the package to Fang Yao. 'Why are you looking for me?"
Fang Yao sized Yin Xun up and asked, "Do you still have deliveries to make?"
Yin Xun nodded. "Yes, but not many. There are... about four or five more? It shouldn't take long to send them all. It's the trial operating stage now. There aren't many people using this delivery, so there's no rush."
"Do you mind if I deliver the rest with you?" Fang Yao asked.
YinXun, "! "
Fang Yao actually wanted to go with her to deliver the packages! Yin Xun shuddered at the thought of Fang Yao sitting on a three-wheeled motorcycle in a suit and leather shoes.
Her lips twisted into a smile as she agreed. "Sure, but it could be exhausting."
The two of them went downstairs together. When she came in, Yin Xun was already eye-catching enough. Now, with Fang Yao by her side, what the people saw was the president and the delivery person walking out while laughing and chatting together. The delivery person was even a woman. Everyone's minds immediately exploded.
The employees of the company loved to watch the commotion. When Fang Yao and Yin Xun left the building, everyone gathered together to discuss what was going on. After asking each other, they realized that no one knew about Yin Xun, so they all looked at the front desk. The receptionist must have known something when she brought Yin Xun to look for Fang Yao.
Although the receptionist did not know Yin Xun's exact identity, she guessed that their relationship was not ordinary.
The discussion among the company's staff was very spicy, but Fang Yao and
Yin Xun, who had already gone out, were unaware of this.
The two of them arrived at the entrance. When Fang Yao saw Yin Xun's three-wheeled motorcycle, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Could he go back on his word now? Before he came down, he thought that Yin Xun was driving a truck.
"Are you driving this?" Fang Yao pointed at the three-wheeled motorcycle and asked Yin Xun.
Yin Xun nodded and said, "That's right. Although it's not as flashy as other delivery companies, it's very practical. Because it's small, it's nimble. It can shuttle through various small roads and save the delivery time. However , without some shade, it's a problem. It gets too hot. It's also troublesome if it rains, so I plan to get someone to modify it when I get back."
Looking at Fang Yao's expression, Yin Xun immediately understood what he was thinking. A mischievous thought suddenly arose in her heart. She half-provoked and half-persuaded him. "Do you feel embarrassed by this? Of course, you have a good image, President Fang. How can you take such a small vehicle to deliver packages with me? If you don't want to ride on it, we can talk after I deliver the packages."
As she spoke, Yin Xun walked to the three-wheeled motorcycle and was about to start the engine.
Fang Yao quickly stopped her. "Wait, I'll go with you. Let's talk on the way. This is also my project, after all. I want to experience it for myself."
Two people could sit in the vehicle. Fang Yao sat down next to Yin Xun. After Fang Yao sat down, Yin Xun handed him a mask. "I'll give you a mask."
"No need." Fang Yao held the armrest with his other hand. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you can lower yourself to do such a thing, so can I."
Yin Xun said awkwardly. "Wearing a mask isn't to prevent others from seeing us. It's to block the sun." Yin Xun raised her hand and pointed at the sun. "The sun is too hot. It will burn your face."
Fang Yao.
How awkward. He wanted to go back even more now.
However, it would be even more embarrassing to retreat now. As long as he did not show any embarrassment, Yin Xun wouldn't know that he was embarrassed.
"In that case, I'll put it on." Fang Yao pretended to be calm as he took the mask.
Yin Xun turned the throttle on the handle and continued on her journey to deliver packages.
"Actually, the normal delivery system is already complete. According to your plan, as long as it's slightly improved, the trials should be done by the person-in-charge. Why are you running it yourself?" Fang Yao asked in a low voice.
At this moment, the vehicle was shaking a little. It was evident that Yin Xun was a newbie. The motorcycle was very stiff, and when it turned a corner, the movements were very unrestrained. Fang Yao reached out and held the armrest tightly. He was worried that he would be sent flying out of the vehicle..

Chapter 321: Putting The Employees First
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
"Only by doing it personally can we know what's wrong and how to improve it. If I don't try it myself, I can only understand the exact situation through the report of the person-in-charge. That guy's job is to manage the employees under him. They have no obligation and won't go and experience it personally."
Yin Xun sighed. It was mainly because this kind of thing had happened many times in her previous world. She had also encountered couriers with bad attitudes. At that time, she was furious.
Since she had become a leader, she naturally could not let this happen. She had to do service-related business from a client's perspective. Only then would she be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
In other words, couriers would also encounter strange customers. If they were pestered, it was very easy to cause trouble. She wanted to set an example and teach the employees how to deal with such problems.
She continued, "As such, I wouldn't know about the various problems that couriers encounter at work, such as losing items, being late, and being unable to contact customers. There's also the intensity of their work, the environment, the various difficulties they encounter, and so on. Just like today, if I hadn't come to experience it, I wouldn't have known that this delivery vehicle would be so uncomfortable."
"Without a shade, there's no shelter from the wind and rain. It's easy for couriers to fall sick if they work in harsh environments. When the time comes, taking leave will delay their work even more. Therefore, it's better to solve such problems from the beginning and make small investments to exchange for big returns."
She was talking about her philosophy of managing the company, At the same time, she was also telling Fang Yao that she was serious about her business and could be considerate in all aspects. That was why Fang Yao believed her.
Fang Yao quietly listened to Yin Xun's explanation. After a moment of silence, he asked, 'This is the first time I've heard of your philosophy. I've never seen any boss do things to such an extent. Ordinary companies have many layers of management. Why do you know so much about this kind of thing? It's as if...
you've been a basic employee before."
If she did not start from the bottom, how could a rich young lady like Yin Xun think of such a thing? A person's growth environment determined how a person would deal with problems in the future. When he first met Yin Xun, he had already gotten someone to investigate her background.
Yin Xun had been living abroad since she was very young. Fang Yao had sent someone to ask Yin Xun's foreign friends about her. Yin Xun lived a good life and never needed to work to earn money.
Ever since she returned to the country, she had started work in a management position and had never been a basic employee. However, Fang Yao was surprised that she had such knowledge.
"That's right. It's precisely because I've been at the grassroots level that I know how hypocritical some people in charge are. To put it bluntly, these are the things they try to hide." Yin Xun did not avoid the question at all and replied with a smile.
She was not worried that Fang Yao would notice that something was wrong with her statement. After all, who would expect that she came from another world?
Fang Yao frowned. He did not know if Yin Xun was joking or being serious.
He continued to ask, "But why... do you have to go so far? Even if you don't come personally, you can still send your assistant or someone you trust. In the end, as long as you give them a higher salary, I believe they will be very willing to help you."
Yin Xun was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, she asked, "Fang Yao, what do you think is the most important thing for a company to operate well?"
Fang Yao did not answer. Yin Xun had been staring at the road ahead, so she did not know Fang Yao's current expression.
She did not expect Fang Yao to answer her question at all. So, she continued, "The company is like a pyramid. The boss is at the top of the tower, the management is in the middle, and the grassroots employees are at the bottom of the tower. If the top of the tower is gone, the tower can still exist, but if the bottom of the tower is gone, no matter how strong the pyramid is, it will eventually collapse.
"Therefore, the most important thing is not the boss but the employees. The employees are working for us. Their income is not proportional to their contribution at all. They create luxury cars and villas for us, but they have to pay rent and eat instant noodles. There's an old saying, 'If you want the horses to run, let the horses eat their fill first'. Happy employees would be willing to work harder. If we can't even help them with the most basic of their problems, our employees will become hoodlums."
There was a forkin the road ahead. The road was very narrow. Yin Xun suddenly turned the steering wheel and the car made a sharp turn.
She was not good at driving this kind of small vehicle. It felt completely different from a four-wheeled car.
Fang Yao was listening attentively when the car suddenly turned a corner. He was caught off guard and his body lurched to the side due to inertia, and he almost bumped into Yin Xun. Fortunately, his hand had been gripping the armrest, so nothing happened..
...
Chapter 322: Easily Touched
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun smiled awkwardly and apologized. "I'm sorry, I'm not used to driving this kind of vehicle. The handlebars are too stiff. '
"I'm fine." Fang Yao tightened his grip on the armrest.
He wondered if he should take a few days off work to deliver the packages with Yin Xun. Otherwise, he would be worried about Yin Xun's safety.
Yin Xun did not know what Fang Yao was thinking. After the car stabilized, she continued speaking. "There's not much else I can do. I can experience the employees' lives myself and help them improve their working environment. At the same time, I can modify the unreasonable parts of the work system so that they can earn more money and relax. With the foundation built, the top of the tower will be safer. Without those additional troubles, we will earn more as bosses.'
It was a simple reason, and Fang Yao understood it.
He took advantage of the fact that Yin Xun was looking straight ahead and would not look at him. His gaze was fixed on her, not hiding the emotions in his eyes at all.
Yin Xun was different from the women he had seen in the past. She had guts, could strategize, and could endure hardships. She did not look like a rich young lady who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth at all.
Especially when it came to how to manage the company, Fang Yao felt that Yin Xun was a radiant star.
"We've arrived. We'll talk more later," Yin Xun suddenly said while Fang Yao was silent.
She drove into an old neighborhood, got out of the motorcycle, and took out the package. She stood at the side and asked Fang Yao, "Do you want to come with me to deliver it, or would you like to wait for me here?"
Fang Yao raised his head. Yin Xun was looking at him with her back facing the sunlight. There was a dazzling light around her. At this moment, Fang Yao could not see Yin Xun's face clearly, but he suddenly felt that there was no woman more beautiful than her.
"I'll go with you," Fang Yao said with a smile.
Yin Xun was a little surprised. She did not expect Fang Yao to deliver the package with her all the way. She asked with concern, "Are you really going to deliver it with me? This is an old building. There's no elevator, and the person I'm sending is on the top floor. The weather is also very hot. It will be tiring."
Fang Yao's heart suddenly beat faster. Yin Xun was concerned about him.
Then, Yin Xun added, "You're wearing a custom-made suit. It's a pity that you're here wearing something so expensive. If I had known, I would have brought another work suit. '
Fang Yao,
Alright, he was thinking too much.
In the end, Fang Yao decided to go with Yin Xun. At most, he would sweat a little more. It was fine if his clothes were dirty; there were not many opportunities to experience this kind of work with Yin Xun.
The client was on the seventh floor. There was no air conditioning in the corridor, and there was no wind. It was even hotter here than outside. Yin Xun only climbed halfway before she was drenched in sweat and almost could not breathe.
"Give me the package. I'll help you deliver it." Fang Yao reached out to take Yin Xun's package, but Yin Xun evaded him.
Yin Xun panted and said, "No need, I'll hold it. Your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't overexert yourself... '
Halfway through her sentence, Yin Xun took a deep breath and looked at the delivery box in her hand. She did not know what was inside. It looked small but was especially heavy. Yin Xun suspected that there might be some metal inside.
Hearing Yin Xun talk about his injury, Fang Yao was touched again. This time, Yin Xun actually cared about him.
However, he could not bask in the feeling for more than a moment before Yin Xun added, "Besides, you're not wearing work clothes. It will affect the image of Xintao Express. Clients don't know who you are, so it's easy to cause misunderstandings."
Fang Yao ,
"Fortunately, I haven't slacked off in my training and can still persevere. If it was my previous physique, I wouldn 't have collapsed long ago." Yin Xun rested for a while before continuing to climb upstairs.
"Since you feel that your physique is not good enough, how about you train a little more in the future?' Fang Yao asked.
Yin Xun, "...Actually, I suddenly feel that I can handle this. I'm not so tired anymore."
She looked at Fang Yao, who was walking beside her. His expression was normal and his breathing was stable. Only the tip of his nose was sweating because of the heat. Fang Yao was still injured, although his injuries were not particularly serious. On the other hand, she was healthy and exercised every day, but she was still so tired that she was out of breath.
Fang Yao's physique was enviable. Yin Xun sighed in her heart. It seemed that she still had a long way to go before she could beat Fang Yao.
Actually, climbing the stairs alone was not that tiring. It was mainly because of the severe heat. Yin Xun had a feeling that she was about to get a heatstroke. She vaguely felt that her head was getting a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, today's mission was about to end.
Finally, they reached the seventh floor. Yin Xun casually wiped her sweat and flashed a friendly smile. Then, she knocked on the client's door. "Hello, your Xintao express delivery has arrived. Please open the door and receive it."
Yin Xun said this very professionally..
...
Chapter 323: The Pestering Fat Guy
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
The door was opened very quickly. A man in his thirties came out. He was half a head taller than Yin Xun and looked like he weighed 200 pounds. Even his face was meaty. At this moment, he was nibbling on a chicken drumstick with grease all over his mouth.
Although the man was fat, he did not look very strong. His skin was tanned, and the thick dark circles under his eyes were visible. It was hard to tell if his bean-sized eyes were naturally small or if they were not fully open. In either case, he looked like he had stayed up too late.
'You're two minutes late. Why are you so slow? Didn't you say that you'll be perfectly punctual?" The fat guy did not take the package. Instead, he looked at Yin Xun and questioned her unhappily.
Seeing that Yin Xun was a girl, the fatty's expression became even more disdainful and mocking. "Oh, you're actually a cutie. You must be quite capable. I didn't expect a woman to take on such a job. Since you're so tired, do you want to come in and rest for a while? As long as you say something nice, I'll forgive you."
Yin Xun was not angry at the fatty's provocation. She thought that this was a classic example of being troubled by a client. She took note of and wrote it down in the employee handbook to teach them what to do.
"I'm sorry, sir. Our delivery time follows the given time period. There's an hour's fluctuation to be expected. You don't have an elevator here too, so I had to climb the stairs, which caused a delay. However, we didn't exceed the given period, so we're not considered late. If you're not satisfied, we'll try our best to be faster next time. Please sign to accept the package," Yin Xun said with a
smile and a polite tone.
However, it was obvious that Fatty did not want to drop the matter just like that. He still did not take the package. Instead, he stared at Yin Xun with his lifeless eyes.
He did not relent and said, "What time period? The time counts as long as it's written here. Two minutes is also time. You can do a lot of things with that.
You've delayed me for so long. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? Also, what do you mean by saying I don't have an elevator? Are you mocking the place I live in? You're a delivery person. Do you live a sweet life? Could it be that you live in a villa? From the looks of it, you don't have any money. You definitely don't live as well as me."
Yin Xun continued to smile. "Sir, it doesn't matter where I live. Can you please sign for the delivery first? If you misunderstood our delivery schedule, then I apologize. We didn't mark it clearly. When I go back, I'll tell our leader to pay attention to this problem. How about this? We'll refund you the delivery fee this time. What do you say?"
Perhaps it was because Yin Xun was a woman who seemed easy to bully; the fat guy pulled a long face and refused. "No, this is your own mistake. You shouldn't have charged me for the delivery in the first place. Not only that, but you also have to compensate me for waiting a little longer. I don't have high expectations. Just compensate me half of the money for the delivery."
Yin Xun's patience was wearing thin, but for the sake of the customer's experience, she suppressed her impatience and refused the demand with a smile. "Sir, that won't do. Our delivery didn't exceed our time limit. In addition, the money for the purchase isn't handled by us. Can you please sign for it? Please don't make things difficult for me, okay? I'm just an ordinary employee who delivers according to the company's agreed time. I don't have that much power."
In the end, Yin Xun could barely maintain her smile.
It was obvious that this person was deliberately looking for trouble. If she still could not persuade him, she would not care anymore.
As expected, the fatty still insisted on asking for a refund and his words became more and more unpleasant.
Yin Xun's last bit of patience was finally worn out. She put on a fake smile and said to the man, "Sir, it seems like you don't want this package anymore since you haven't signed for it. It's okay. If you don't sign, it means that you refuse to accept it. In that case, I'll help you return it. As long as the goods are returned, the merchant will give you a full refund. '
After saying that, Yin Xun did not want to continue arguing with the fat guy. She turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop right there!" Fatty did not expect Yin Xun to try and leave. He immediately rushed over to stop her.
Although the man was fat, he was surprisingly agile. In a flash, he ran to Yin Xun's side and reached out to grab her hand.
Yin Xun had not been training for nothing. She sparred with Fang Yao every night. Although she did not know any powerful moves, she could still dodge an attack.
She tilted her body and dodged the fat man's outstretched hand.
Yin Xun looked at the fatty and said with a frown, "Sir, if you have anything to say, please speak nicely. Don't touch me. I asked you to sign for it just now, but you refused. Now you won't let me leave. What exactly do you want?"
'What do I want? You'll know what I want if you come with me inside and have a chat..." the fatty said as he tried to grab Yin Xun..
...
Chapter 324: Are There Surveillance cameras?
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
However, before he could touch Yin Xun, his hand was stopped in midair. The fatty looked up and saw a man who was nearly a head and a half taller than him.
'Who are you? Where did you come from?" the fatty asked unhappily. "Yo, you're dressed like a gigolo. Why is that? Are you planning to save the damsel in distress?"
Just now, when the fatty reached out to grab Yin Xun, Yin Xun was about to dodge when Fang Yao rushed over. Perhaps it was because of her instinctive trust; Yin Xun did not move the moment she saw Fang Yao coming over.
Fang Yao helped her block Fatty's groping hand.
"Do you want the package or not? If you don't want it, then return it. If you still want it, sign for it quickly." Fang Yao was not as patient as Yin Xun. He looked at the man's hand in disgust. It was covered in the oil of the chicken drumstick that he had been holding.
The moment he saw Fang Yao, there was a moment of panic in Fatty's eyes. However, when he saw that Fang Yao had an injured arm, he became more confident and even put on airs.
He craned his neck. "Why do you care if I want it or not? You're not a courier.
Are you passing by? Are you my neighbor? But why haven't I seen you before? Oh, I remember now. You must be a tenant. I remember my neighbor moved recently. Now he's looking for a renter."
As the fatty spoke, he sized up Fang Yao. Seeing that he was dressed formally and his clothes looked good, he sneered and said, "You're dressed quite well. You're pretending to be a successful person. Aren't you still renting a house here? I advise you to mind your own business, or else I'll beat you up!'
Fang Yao glanced at the fatty and said to Yin Xun, "Let's go. Looks like he doesn't plan to accept this package. This kind of person is obviously a scoundrel. There's no need to entertain him..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fatty heard that he had been called a scoundrel. He immediately pulled his hand out of Fang Yao's grasp. He was clearly wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but he pretended to roll up his sleeves twice.
After getting ready, Fatty raised his fist and threw a punch at Fang Yao without warning.
"Be careful!" Yin Xun warned Fang Yao.
She had been staring at Fatty since the beginning because she could tell that the man was not in his right state of mind. Fang Yao, meanwhile, was looking at her.
Fang Yao was already injured. If he was punched by Fatty now, his injuries would worsen.
Yin Xun wanted to help Fang Yao block it, but it was too late. She was not as fast as Fatty.
Seeing that Fatty's fist was about to hit Fang Yao's face, Fang Yao seemed to predict Fatty's actions before turning around. He tilted his head and dodged Fatty's punch. Then, he stretched out his undamaged arm and grabbed Fatty's hand. He bent his knee and pushed against Fatty's waist. After that, he quickly stretched out his leg to trip Fatty's foot. The man lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Fang Yao only used one hand and one leg to knock down the fatty who looked like he weighed more than 200 pounds.
"Your skills are impressive. No wonder I can't beat you." Yin Xun sighed when she saw this.
Fang Yao smiled and said, "As long as you train every day, one day. '
"I can beat you!" Yin Xun quickly finished the sentence.
Fang Yao shook his head and said, "No, you won't be able to beat me even if you train your entire life. As long as you keep training, you will be able to beat him one day." After saying that, he even kicked the fatty who was lying on the ground.
Knocking the fatty down was not enough to vent his anger. He thought about how the fatty tried to pull Yin Xun into the house just now—who knew what would happen if she went in? He doubted he was overthinking; this fatty looked quite unsatisfied. If Yin Xun really went in, she would probably be in danger.
Fortunately, he had come with her today. If he had not followed her, what if Yin Xun got pushed around?
At the thought of this, Fang Yao looked at Fatty even more darkly.
"F*ck, how dare you hit me? I'll kill you!" The fatty must have been winded by the fall just now. It took him more than ten seconds to finally muster up a curse.
He quickly got up, raised his fist, and rushed toward Fang Yao. Fang Yao dodged to the side, and Fatty rushed past him. Fang Yao took the opportunity to kick the man's butt. Then, he used his knee to knock Fatty's waist and grabbed the man's arm with his other hand.
"Wait!" Yin Xun saw that Fang Yao was about to hit Fatty and quickly stopped
Fang Yao turned around and looked at Yin Xun. Because Yin Xun did not want to hurt the client, he was about to let go.
However, before he could do anything, he heard Yin Xun ask the fat man, "Are there surveillance cameras in this building?'
Fatty did not know why Yin Xun suddenly asked about the surveillance camera. He said angrily, "Of course not. There are only a few residents in this entire building. The buildings are so old that they should have been moved away long ago. Otherwise, do you think I would have tried to pull you into the house?"
There was no need for Yin Xun to ask anything else. The fatty had already said it himself.
Hearing the man's words, Yin Xun revealed a satisfied smile. She said to Fang Yao, "There are no surveillance cameras and no bystanders. We can hit him now.."
...
Chapter 325: The Imprisoned Girl
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
The two of them gave Fatty a good beating.
After the beating, Yin Xun even threatened him. "Let me tell you, I know where you live and what you look like. If you dare to do such a thing to our employees in the future, it won't be as simple as just beating you up next time. Think about it, I'm a woman who dares to run around delivering packages. How can I not have some protection? '
Fatty was beaten black and blue. Now he knew that these two were not to be trifled with.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I won't dare to do it again..." The fatty apologized as he bowed.
"Let's go." Yin Xun called for Fang Yao to leave. Since this kind of person did not really break the law, then other than beating him up, there was no other method to deal with him.
"It's really unlucky to have to hit such a person. Come and wipe your hands." Yin Xun took out a tissue and handed it to Fang Yao. She glanced at the fatty and said disdainfully.
Looking at Yin Xun's angry expression and thinking about how she had been smiling just now, Fang Yao could not help but find it funny. Thinking about this, he laughed out loud.
Yin Xun looked at him in confusion.
Just as Fang Yao was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of something shattering.
The two of them looked at each other and looked at Fatty's house in unison. Fatty had not closed the door when he first came out. At this moment, the door was half open, and his voice seemed to be coming from his house.
Fatty panicked when he heard the sound. He turned around and rushed toward the door.
Fang Yao reacted quickly and pinned Fatty against the wall. Then, he grabbed
Fatty's collar and questioned him, "Why are you so nervous?"
"This... No, Big Brother, I just want to go home. I'm not nervous. I don't want the things anymore. Let go of me. I won't make things difficult for you. Don't worry, I won't complain. I promise!" Fatty's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Yin Xun listened carefully. Other than the sound just now, there was no other sound inside. However, she saw the fatty's anxious expression. There was clearly something wrong.
She exchanged glances with Fang Yao. Yin Xun gave him a look, signaling him to keep an eye on the fatty.
Fang Yao understood and did not let go.
Yin Xun walked to the door and carefully looked inside.
Seeing her actions, Fatty became anxious. He no longer looked as humble as before and began to struggle, trying to break free from Fang Yao's grip no matter what.
However, Fatty struggled for a long time but could not break free from Fang Yao's grip. He could only beg the two of them, "Big shots, I was wrong. Please let me go. I don't have anything at home. I still have a job. I want to go back to work..."
No matter how much Fatty begged, Fang Yao refused to let go.
Yin Xun carefully walked into the house. She had just entered the living room. The house was dirty and messy, and there was a rotten smell. Even if she was wearing a mask, it did not help. The smell directly entered her nose through the mask. She had not smelled it outside just now.
Seeing Yin Xun walk into the house, the fatty was so anxious that his face and neck turned red. He begged for mercy and cursed at the same time as if he had gone crazy. Seeing his reaction, Fang Yao tightened his grip.
There was nothing in the living room. Yin Xun looked at the room beside him. The door was closed. She listened for a moment—there seemed to be a very soft sound in the room.
Looking at the door, Yin Xun bit her lips gently before holding the handle and turning it gently. With a creak, the door was opened. Then, the scene in the room came into view. Even Yin Xun, who had seen countless things, was so frightened that she almost screamed when she saw the scene in front of her.
Yin Xun resisted the urge to throw up. He turned around and rushed to the door. Fang Yao said, "Don't let go of him. Hurry up and call the police." As she spoke, she took out her phone and called the police.
After Yin Xun was done with that, Fang Yao saw that she seemed to be frightened and asked curiously, "What's inside?"
"A girl was imprisoned by him. Maggots are growing in the places where her body is rotting, but she doesn't seem to be dead yet. She's still moving..."
Thinking of the girl's appearance, Yin Xun felt nauseous again. She retched and tried to suppress the discomfort.
Just now, she saw a naked girl tied to the bed with wounds all over her body. Because she had not received treatment, the wounds had already rotted. She did not know if the stench in the room was because of the girl's wounds.
The girl's hair was very long and covered her face, so Yin Xun did not see what she looked like.
The girl must have heard the commotion at the door and tried her best to knock down the vase on the table to get help. Although she was pitiful and Yin Xun wanted to help her, it was not appropriate for her to take action. The girl should be handed over to the police..
...
Chapter 326: Called The Police Again
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun told Fang Yao about the general situation inside. Fang Yao frowned deeply after hearing it.
'What's going on with that girl inside?" Yin Xun walked in front of the fat man and asked coldly.
Seeing that Yin Xun had already discovered the secret in the room, the fat man, who had been agitated just now, quietened down and stopped struggling.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." The fatty stared at Yin Xun with a gloomy gaze. Because Yin Xun had always been wearing a mask, he did not know what Yin Xun looked like. He stared fixedly at Yin Xun's eyes, trying to remember her appearance.
Yin Xun said nonchalantly, "Sure. Anyway, we've already called the police. We'll know what happened when the police arrive."
"You!" Upon hearing that she was going to call the police, Fatty became agitated again. He threatened Yin Xun, "Call the police? I know where your company is. Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on you?"
Yin Xun shrugged. "What is there to be afraid of? If you dare to attack me, I'll let you spend the rest of your life in prison. Do you think you're in any position to threaten me?"
"You'd better not let me get the chance. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the same fate as the woman inside..." Fatty said viciously.
Fang Yao saw that Fatty was still not being sincere. He raised a leg and kicked Fatty's knee. He said in a deep voice, "You won't get the chance. You can stay in prison until your next life."
Yin Xun looked downstairs and realized that no one had come out to take a look after such a huge commotion. Even if this was the top floor, the people downstairs should be able to hear it.
Thinking of the dust and spider webs in the corridor when she first came in, Yin Xun understood. It seemed that there were not many families living in this building.
Fatty must have known that no one would notice anything happening here. That was why he was so bold.
The police soon rushed over. Because Fang Yao and Yin Xun were the first to be discovered, they stayed behind to give statements.
When she saw the police, Yin Xun was stunned for a moment. The officer was also stunned.
"Miss Yin, it's you again." Zuo Liang was a little exasperated as he greeted Yin Xun.
"Haha, what a coincidence, Officer ZUo..." Yin Xun was also a little embarrassed. Why did Zuo Liang always come when she called the police?
However, she had not seen him for such a long time. If Zuo Liang had not greeted her just now, she would not have recognized him.
'What happened here?" Zuo Liang looked at Fang Yao and the fat man and asked.
Fang Yao did not let go of the man even when the police arrived. Fatty's face was bruised and swollen, and he looked at Fang Yao indignantly.
"I can only explain the situation after I came here. As for the details of the crime, it's better for you to go into the house and take a look yourself," Yin Xun said as he pointed at Fatty's house.
As the two of them spoke, Fang Yao let go of Fatty. Since the police were here, there was no need for him to hold him down anymore.
However, he did not expect that even with the police present, Fatty was still not repentant. After being let go, he probably knew that he could not defeat Fang Yao and could not deal with the police. He rushed toward Yin Xun with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to kill her.
Fang Yao's gaze was fixed on Yin Xun the whole time. He noticed Fatty's actions immediately.
Yin Xun was standing very close to him. Just as Fatty was about to reach Yin
Xun, Fang Yao rushed forward and grabbed Fatty before knocking him down.
"Police, this person attacked someone. Don't you care?" The fatty was pinned to the ground by Fang Yao as he shouted at the police.
Zuo Liang looked at Fatty coldly, then walked to Fang Yao's side and said, "Hand him over to me." After that, he said to Fatty, 'We're not blind. We saw what you did just now; you tried to assault someone. How dare you try that with the police around?'
While they were talking, the other police officers had already entered the house to check inside.
Shortly later, the police officers inside reported to Zuo Liang that there was a girl who was imprisoned and injured. She was covered in injuries and they needed to call for treatment.
Fatty still tried to resist, but he was suppressed by Officer Zuo Liang.
At this point, he was still trying to shift his gaze to Fang Yao and Yin Xun.
"They're gangsters. They beat me up! Officer, I admit what I did, but what about them? Shouldn't they be arrested too?' The fatty pointed at Yin Xun and Fang Yao and shouted.
"Behave yourself!" Zuo Liang, who was pressing down on him, frowned and warned him. At the same time, he handcuffed the man.
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look at my injuries. Look, my face is swollen!" Fatty continued to complain..

Facing the police officer's gaze, Yin Xun smiled and explained, "He tried to pull me into the house too. Fortunately, my friend came and we argued with the man. However, we didn't hit anyone. When we were arguing, we heard a commotion in the house. He didn't close his door, so I took a look and saw the girl."
'Where's the customer service that you promised from Xintao? Where's the treatment that you promised? You're all liars. B*tch, I'll kill you..." Seeing that Yin Xun refused to admit it, the fatty shouted angrily and even cursed the police.
'You said that I hit you. Do you have any evidence?" Yin Xun asked the fatty calmly.
Fatty shouted, "No wonder you asked me if I have surveillance cameras. It's because you don't want to leave any evidence!"
"If you continue cursing and not repenting, I'll consider you obstructing official business!" Zuo Liang warned him.
The ambulance arrived very quickly. The girl was taken away by the ambulance. Fatty was held down, and Fang Yao and Yin Xun were brought back to the police station to take statements.
Because of this, Yin Xun could not continue to deliver the packages. If she was still the one doing it, the deliveries would definitely be late.
This moment showed how useful Xintao's software was. Apart from adding friends, it also had the ability to make contact groups. Yin Xun went to the group chat of Xintao Express and told Wen Yan about his situation. Wen Yan immediately sent his employees out to take over the deliveries.
Yin Xun, "The employee who helps me today counts as him working overtime for the day. I'll pay him three times the usual amount for my parcels. '
The crime scene was sealed off. The police did not know who the girl was. No matter how they asked the fatty, he did not say anything. They could only slowly investigate.
This matter was very serious. This girl had been imprisoned. Moreover, before Yin Xun and Fang Yao left the police station, Zuo Liang told her that Fatty's condition did not seem right either. He was either mentally ill or on drugs.
"Officer Zuo, I didn't expect us to be so bound by fate. Why don't we have a cup of coffee together one day when you 're free?" Yin Xun said to Zuo Liang before leaving.
Fang Yao did not expect Yin Xun to take the initiative to invite someone else. He immediately frowned and looked at Zuo Liang. Zuo Liang looked only a little older than Yin Xun. He had a proper appearance. Although he was not that handsome, he looked refreshing and comfortable.
Fang Yao had a bad feeling. Yin Xun had never taken the initiative to invite him out.
"I'd like that."
Yin Xun thought that Zuo Liang would refuse, but she did not expect him to agree so readily.
When the two of them came out of the police station, it was already evening.
The sky was dim. When they reached the entrance of the police station, Yin Xun sighed. "l didn't expect so many things to happen today. I have to say, there are many unpredictable accidents in a job like this."
Fang Yao nodded. 'The biggest drawback of delivering goods is that we don't know what customers we'll meet. However, it's fine if your company's couriers are all men. No matter what happens, men will at least have the strength to fight. It's relatively safe for them. But if it's a woman... Just like today, if you were alone, it'll be dangerous."
"That's right. It's safer for men who are stronger, but I don't want to restrict girls from applying for jobs because of this." Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao and said firmly, "This is only the beginning. When society enters the In ternet era in the future, physical shops will definitely come under threat. Everyone will want to shop online. When all kinds of appliances and fruits and vegetables are bought from shopping websites, Xintao Express will definitely be the hottest and most profitable company in the express delivery industry."
Yin Xun's words were very reasonable. Fang Yao nodded. He could imagine that day.
With the development of express delivery, who would still be willing to go out and buy things? Unless they had nothing else to do and liked shopping.
Yin Xun continued, "It's a profitable industry. When the time comes, both men and women will want to take part in it. However, if they lose the opportunity to earn money because of unnecessary factors, they will feel it is too unfair. Therefore, I plan to find a digital map company to work with and incorporate a navigation positioning system. This way, we can know where the employees are at any time and whether they are safe."
"In addition, another benefit of working with digital maps is that you will never get lost. For couriers, academic qualifications aren't important. As long as their character and business ability are passable, anyone can apply no matter how old they are. Things are a bit more tricky with the employees. Not everyone can read paper maps. However, as long as they can have a voiced navigation system, it will garner twice the results with half the effort.."
...
Chapter 328: Business Opportunities Everywhere

Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun with a burning gaze. Although it was evening, he still felt that Yin Xun was glowing.
"Of course, the development of this navigation system is not only for couriers. Once it's mature and effective, we can push it outward. At that time, anyone can use it. To those people who have no sense of direction, a voiced navigation system is their savior , " Yin Xun added.
She felt very strongly about this. Back then, she went to the big city alone to work. When she first arrived, she did not know the way around and could not always ask passersby. She relied a lot on the voice map.
Not only was it convenient, but it also had the function to hail a taxi if needed.
Thinking of this, Yin Xun continued, "By the way, after the navigation research and development is completed, we can also add a taxi function. Usually, ifyou need a taxi but are not familiar with the road, you won't be able to the way even if you take a long detour. The taxi drivers might also ask for a high price. If the digital map can be used in conjunction with the taxi, the driver can just follow the navigation and use the Xintao app for payment. In addition, there's real-time surveillance on the Internet. That will greatly increase the trust and safety of customers."
Fang Yao listened quietly as Yin Xun rambled on about her ideas. In the beginning, he was just somewhat impressed and thought that Yin Xun had a lot of ideas. Now, he was completely shocked.
He knew that Yin Xun was capable and smart. She could always think of some wild ideas. Most importantly, these ideas were very feasible. However, when she met that fat man, it ended up with her thinking of a new business.
Xintao, Xintao Express, and Rhythm Video. Now, with the addition of the navigation and taxi system, these seemingly unrelated businesses complemented each other.
If these projects were successful, the benefits in the future would be very considerable. Fang Yao no longer had any doubts about Yin Xun's ability. He believed that Yin Xun would definitely succeed in the end.
However, before they reached that point, he had to remind Yin Xun that anything she tried will have its risks.
He asked, "You've pulled in so many investments and started so many businesses at the same time. If you fail, it will be a devastating blow. Aren't you afraid?"
"Nothing can guarantee 100% success. As long as you do it, you have a chance to win. However, if you're afraid of failure and don't dare to try, you won't have any chance at all. Besides, there will always be someone who eats the crab first. No one dares to be the first. How will they know if the crab is delicious in the end?"
Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao confidently with a smile on her face. Her big and bright eyes curved into crescents.
These things were concepts that have already matured in Yin Xun's original world. Since this world was developing, it was Yin Xun's chance. She believed that she would definitely succeed. After all, all the methods were ready-made.
Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat under Yin Xun's gaze.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. As long as I'm still alive in this world, I'll definitely return what belongs to you. If I somehow go bankrupt, I'll just marry you..." Yin Xun stuck out her tongue and made a face. It was rare for her to show such a lively expression.
Fang Yao and Yin Xun looked at each other. Fang Yao felt his heart beat faster, and his face was slightly hot. He thought that as long as Yin Xun agreed that she would marry him, he would confess and tell Yin Xun his feelings. It had been so long, and he had many concerns, but if Yin Xun took the first step, then he did not have to worry so much.
"I'll be your assistant. You know that I have a lot of ideas. I'll definitely be of help to your company. My latent value is very great. I definitely won't let you suffer a loss." Yin Xun looked up at Fang Yao, looking very smug.
Fang Yao,
As expected of Yin Xun. She could always pour cold water on him when he felt most emotional.
Just now, the atmosphere was already tense. He was about to confess, but Yin Xun knocked him back with her blunt sentence.
At this moment, Fang Yao was a little conflicted. Should he say it?
Fang Yao, who had always done things his own way, had now become timid. He let out a long sigh in his heart. Now, he understood how it felt to worry about personal gains and losses.
He was afraid that if he said it out loud and Yin Xun had no interest in him, she would hold a grudge against him in the future.
"Don't worry and do it boldly. After all, the Fang family will back you up." Fang Yao said, "As for that contract, just treat it as the Fang family's investment in you. Just ignore those conditions they set for you."
Yin Xun nodded. "It's alright. That condition doesn't mean anything in the first place. It doesn't affect me at all."
Fang Yao ,
At this moment, he did not know if it was justified to be angry, but he was certainly very unhappy..
...
Chapter 329: Go Through Thick And Thin Together
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Yin Xun did not know what he was thinking. She said cheerfully, "Fang Yao, I'm super lucky to know you. You're a good person. I'll make sure to repay you in the future. I won't let you suffer a loss! I promise."
Fang Yao raised his eyebrows and said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Let's not talk about the future. The future is so far away. Who knows when it will be achieved? How do you plan to repay my help right now?"
"Hmm..." Yin Xun lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she looked up and said seriously, "How about I give you a gift? You'll definitely like
"Thank you." Fang Yao remembered that Yin Xun had given him either green plants or green birds. Even the furniture she had given him was green. She said that she wanted to create a comfortable environment for him.
Now that his house was almost a botanical garden, it would take a long time just to water the plants every day. Fang Yao really did not have high expectations for the gift Yin Xun was going to give him.
'You're too polite. We're friends. It's fine as long as you're happy." Yin Xun thought that Fang Yao was sincerely thanking her.
Fang Yao did not want to talk anymore.
"Let's go," Fang Yao said unhappily.
"Are you going back to the company?' Yin Xun asked Fang Yao.
"No, it's already time to get offwork. I'll go straight home."
Yin Xun pointed at the three-wheeled motorcycle not far away and said, "Before we came to the police station, I asked Officer Zuo to help me send that motorcycle over so that he won't have to drive us back. Anyway, you don't have a car now. Why don't we take my vehicle and go back together?"
"Are you planning to drive this back?" Fang Yao asked in surprise.
Yin Xun nodded. "1 have no choice. I plan to work like a normal employee for three to four days to immerse myself in the feeling of being a courier so I can strive to improve on all the problems. Because the warehouse is in the suburbs, not everyone has a car, and the transportation is not convenient. The company stipulates that each employee will have a vehicle and drive it home every day. In order to prevent chaos, everyone has to take care of their vehicle and not dump it at the company."
Looking at Yin Xun's three-wheeled motorcycle, Fang Yao's mouth twitched. This rule seemed reasonable, but it did not seem very practical either.
"Let's go. We're wearing masks anyway. No one will recognize us if we drive back quietly. They'll only treat us as couriers. As long as we're nice, it won't be a problem." Yin Xun saw Fang Yao's unnatural expression and comforted him.
However, although Yin Xun looked calm now, she would regret her decision when she returned.
It was fine when she was driving in the city. Because there were express deliveries everywhere, everyone was used to the sight and no one paid attention to Yin Xun. However, when Yin Xun drove the car to the villa area, everyone who passed by was staring at her.
That was because there had never been any express delivery in this area. Nowadays, online shopping was still not mature. The really fancy luxury brands had yet to enter the online website because they felt that it was degrading to do so. They only sold their goods in specialty shops and at the counters of large shopping malls. Therefore, these rich ladies almost never bought things online. If people in the circle saw them, they would feel that they were degrading themselves.
Yin Xun thought that it was a good thing that she was wearing a mask and no one recognized her.
However, Yin Xun underestimated everyone's curiosity about the three-wheeled motorcycle.
'Why do I feel that the two people in the vehicle look a little familiar? Doesn't that man look like President Fang? He's wearing a mask. I don't dare to greet him.'
"I think you're right. The person driving the vehicle is President Yin, isn't it? Usually, those two are always inseparable. But why would they drive a small three-wheeled motorcycle? Could it be that this is a new fashion? I must be getting old. I don't understand young people's preferences anymore."
They attracted a lot of attention along the way. When they were about to reach the entrance of their residential area, Fang Yao calmly said to Yin Xun, "Just drop me off here.
Yin Xun asked him in surprise, "Why? Are you embarrassed?"
Fang Yao did not hide the fact that he felt awkward. "1 know a lot of people. I'd better go down and walk by myself. I'll look for you when I get home."
"No!" Yin Xun refused. "I've pulled you all the way, and now you want to abandon me and escape on your own. Don't forget that we're comrades. We have to go through thick and thin together."
In order to stop Fang Yao from getting out of the vehicle, Yin Xun sped up..
...
Chapter 330: Let's Go Together In The Future
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
If Fang Yao got out of the vehicle now, she would be the one who would lose face.
Besides, Fang Yao lived here longer than her, so everyone was more familiar with him. Perhaps everyone would be too busy paying attention to him to pay any attention to her.
When they arrived at the entrance of the district, Yin Xun drove in habitually. However, before she could enter, she was stopped by the security guards.
"Outside vehicles are prohibited... Eh, it's President Yin and President Fang. Both of you are back. Did you change vehicles?" The security guard came out of the security booth and was about to stop Yin Xun from going in. When he saw the people sitting on the bike, he immediately greeted them in surprise.
"That's right. It's convenient to drive a smaller vehicle, and it's also environmentally friendly," Yin Xun said. "Oh right, we're wearing masks. How did you recognize us at a glance?"
The security guard was speechless as he said, "President Yin, you come and go from here every day, and you look very familiar. Moreover, you are only wearing a mask. How could I not recognize you?"
YinXun, "
She thought that she had at least disguised herself a little, but it turned out that it was useless.
Fang Yao did not say a word throughout the entire conversation. He lowered his head slightly and placed his hand on his forehead in an attempt to reduce his presence.
In the end, Yin Xun drove the bike into their neighborhood. She originally wanted to drive to the side and try not to attract attention. Suddenly, she heard someone honking from behind. She thought that she was driving too slowly and blocked the road, so she moved to the side.
Unexpectedly, the car behind them honked again. Yin Xun was instantly speechless. The road in the neighborhood was so wide that it was not a problem to drive three cars through it at the same time. Why was that person persistently honking?
Yin Xun was about to turn around to see what kind of car it was, but before she could, the car behind caught up to her. It was a sports car.
The car window was rolled down, revealing Liu Ying's smiling face.
"Yin Xun, you Ve changed your tastes. You don't have four-wheelers now, but you've changed it to a three-wheeler. You're really quite eye-catching." Although she said nice words, her eyes were filled with mockery.
Yin Xun originally felt quite awkward, but after hearing her words, he instantly became calmer.
She looked at Liu Ying and smiled. "Alright, since you think our car looks cool,
I'll give you one another day. You're welcome."
Liu Ying, "...l was just joking. There's no need."
Afraid that Yin Xun would really give her a tricycle, Liu Ying wanted to stop talking to Yin Xun. Just as she was about to roll up the window, she suddenly saw Fang Yao sitting beside Yin Xun.
She was instantly interested and greeted him happily, "Hello, Young Master Fang. I didn't expect you to be here too. Your hobbies are really unique." After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Are the two of you on a date? How romantic." YinXun, "
Fang Yao,
Why had she never realized before that Liu Ying's mouth could be so sharp? It seemed like Yin Xun had to bring Liu Ying to experience it next time. After all, Liu Ying was also an investor. Although she was an investor for Rhythm Video, Xintao and Rhythm Video were one family after all. They had to interact more in the future.
Thinking of this, Yin Xun suddenly looked at Liu Ying with a smile.
After being with Yin Xun for the past few days, Liu Ying already knew Yin Xun's temperament. The moment she showed such an expression, it meant that something nasty was going to happen.
Liu Ying felt that something was amiss and decided to leave quickly. She closed the car window and stepped on the accelerator. The entire set of actions was as smooth as flowing water. Yin Xun did not even have the time to say anything.
"I haven't even said anything. Why did she run away?" Yin Xun asked Fang Yao doubtfully.
Fang Yao glanced at Liu Ying's taillights and said, "She probably doesn't want to drive your three-wheeled bike."
He could roughly guess Yin Xun's thoughts just now.
"Hey, that doesn't make sense. Hasn't she been pursuing you? Why didn't she show any reaction when she saw you just now?" Only then did Yin Xun remember that Liu Ying had come to this neighborhood to buy a house specifically to chase after Fang Yao. Back then, she had thought that Yin Xun was her love rival and had even released rats on her.
Why was there no reaction at all when she saw the two of them together this time?
'You seem to be very concerned about this matter. Why is that?" Fang Yao asked with a slight frown.
Yin Xun nodded. "Of course. She's my investor. I've always cared about my investors."
Fang Yao did not share Yin Xun's concern at all. He only felt that he was being treated like a money jar.
The two of them were really a little eye-catching. Everyone who passed by wanted to look and even pointed and talked about them openly.
Yin Xun thought privately that it was fortunate that Fang Yao was with her, so things would not be so awkward. Thinking about how she was going to be driving back like this for the next few days, she decided to drag Fang Yao down with her.
"In any case, I have to work at the warehouse for the next few days. It's close to your company. Why don't I pick you up every day? You can save on the fuel bill," Yin Xun said to Fang Yao..
...
Chapter 331: I Won 't Blame Her
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun and smiled. "Thank you, but I refuse."
"You... " Yin Xun was about to persuade Fang Yao when her phone suddenly rang.
She grabbed the handlebars with one hand and pulled out her phone with the other. It was Mi Jin.
Mi Jin would never call her for no reason. Something must have happened. She had no choice but to park the bike on the side and take out her phone to answer the call.
"President Yin, no one went to your office today. Oh right, other than Mary; she came over to ask if you were there. I told her that you went out, and she only waited at the door for a while before she left. I was at the side the entire time, and nothing happened." Although Mi Jin did not know what Yin Xun meant by this, since she had given the order, he would definitely follow it.
Now that it was time to get off work, he felt that he should report his work.
"Alright, I got it." Yin Xun lowered her eyes. As expected, Mary was indeed planning to make a move.
"But..." She heard Mi Jin continue, "Assistant Mary's expression was not very good. She might have something very important to look for you. I asked her to give you a call, and she looked very flustered. President Yin, why don't you ask her personally later? I keep feeling that something is not right with her."
"Alright, by the way, I'll be at the delivery warehouse for the next few days. I won't go to the company for now. From tomorrow onward, you don't have to keep an eye on my office. No matter who goes, just pretend that you didn't see them," Yin Xun said in a deep voice.
"You really intend to experience it personally? I heard them say that it is very tiring to deliver packages, which is why we don't have any female employees in that sector. President Yin, if you just want to understand, can't you just let them report it to you?"
'We're the pioneers. There will definitely be many problems in the beginning. I'll be more at ease if I settle these problems myself." After speaking to Mi Jin, Yin Xun hung up.
"Is there something wrong with Mary?" Fang Yao asked Yin Xun.
Yin Xun did not deliberately hide her call just now. Coupled with the fact that Fang Yao was sitting beside her, he heard everything.
"That's right. I suspect that she was threatened by Si Fan, but I'm not very sure. She's not in the right state and didn't say anything to me. If she was really threatened by Si Fan, it must be for the company's information or the official seal in my office. Coincidentally, I'm going to deliver packages in the next few days and I won't be in the company. I'll give her this chance." Yin Xun turned the key and exerted a little force with her right hand. The bike continued on its way.
"It's pointless to just steal official seals unless it contains confidential internal information. If a big company wants to sign an agreement, they have to go through layers of approval and stamp all kinds of official seals together to have legal effect," Fang Yao said calmly.
Yin Xun smiled and said, "That's right, but Si Fan doesn't seem to understand. He thinks that he just needs to get our information and the official seal. It was the same last time. He asked Yin MO to steal the information from the company, but in the end, he only learned about the project that was originally planned to be given to him anyway. That collaboration was successful. He probably felt that his plan worked, so he used the same trick again."
When Yin MO stole the information, Yin Xun deliberately ignored it. As long as she wanted to, she could make Si Fan pay the price in no time.
Using a useless project to discover Si Fan's plans without alerting the enemy was a good deal.
This was a trap she had set for Si Fan and Yin Mo. She wanted to see what these two people's legal views were like.
From the looks of it, Si Fan's success in the original work was really all thanks to the protagonist's halo. He was really a lawless person who knew little about business.
"However, although it won't affect the company, she's still your trusted assistant. If she really did such a thing, what will you do?' Business owners feared two-faced business partners. If the person she trusted betrayed her once, no matter how she made up for it in the future, there would be a rift between the two of them.
"I won't blame her because she was forced into it." The hair on Yin Xun's forehead was a little messy from the wind. She raised her hand to tidy it up and said calmly, "However, I won't keep an employee who can betray me. No matter what her reasons are, I will probably just give her a settlement amount and fire her."
She had already given Mary a chance. As long as Mary could confide her in the situation, she would definitely cooperate with Mary to get her brother out.
She deliberately said those words in the coffee shop because Mary might be monitored when she was outside. Yin Xun wanted to let those people think that she had no idea what Mary had encountered and was deliberately making things difficult for Mary. However , Mary could find an opportunity to confess it herself. It was understandable if she refused to say anything, but she would not be forgiven if she did something out of line.
However, even if Mary did not say anything, Yin Xun would take the initiative to help her solve the problem. It was just somewhat troublesome.
Fang Yao looked deeply at Yin Xun and did not say anything else..
...
Chapter 332: Can I Get A Free Meal?
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Amidst the discussions along the way, the two of them finally arrived home.
When they passed by Fang Yao's house, Yin Xun dropped him off. Coincidentally, the butler came out at that moment.
The butler's face was filled with surprise as he looked back and forth between Yin Xun, Fang Yao, and the three-wheeled motorcycle.
"Miss Yin Xun, did you change your car?" The butler's mouth twitched as he asked.
Yin Xun nodded. 'That's right."
The butler gave her a thumbs-up. "It's a nice ride. Very distinctive."
YinXun, "
If the butler managed to hold back his laughter, she could still reluctantly believe this praise.
"I still have a lot of these vehicles in my company. Do you want one? Why don't I give you one too? It's just nice to use as a bike like this. It's convenient to get groceries. Yin Xun pointed at her three-wheeled motorcycle and asked the butler.
"Thank you for Miss Yin's good intentions, but I usually walk to the supermarket at the entrance to buy groceries. I am getting old now, and I should walk around more. I will treat it as training. As for those heavy items, I am not in charge of them. The other servants will prepare them in advance." The butler smiled as he rejected her politely.
"It's not easy to walk on a rainy day. It's more convenient to have a small scooter. Moreover, this is very light and easy to drive. It's also energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. It's very suitable for you," Yin Xun continued to persuade him.
She could not be the only one driving this bike. She decided that she would give one to anyone who praised her vehicle. If everyone in the neighborhood got one, there would be nothing to be embarrassed about.
The butler still refused. "I won't go out on a rainy day. You should keep these for yourself. You'll be the only one in the entire district. How stylish. ' At this moment, the butler could not hold back the smile on his face.
"Hmph, I knew you were just lying to me." Yin Xun looked at the butler resentfully and puffed up her face slightly.
Seeing Yin Xun like this, the butler smiled and pointed at Fang Yao. "You can give it to our young master. From now on, you'll be the two heroes of tricycles.
You'll be the most eye-catching duo in the neighborhood."
"There's no need for that." Fang Yao immediately refused.
Yin Xun's face was full of regret.
"That's right, Miss Yin. Today, we are preparing roasted meat. The meat is fresh and tender. Once it is roasted over the fire, we will sizzle it with oil. Then, we will sprinkle some seasoning onto it. It will be very fragrant. Don 't you like this kind of food? Before our Young Master came back, he specifically said that he would allow you to eat more today because you have been tired for the entire day."
Listening to the butler's descriptions, Yin Xun licked her lips. She even heard her stomach growl twice.
That afternoon, she had only eaten a few bites of a sandwich before going to the warehouse to work. She had not even drunk more than a few mouthfuls of water until now and was indeed very hungry.
Fang Yao secretly gave the butler a thumbs-up behind his back
Seeing this, the butler pressed on. "You haven't been coming to our house to eat recently. Our young master doesn't have anyone to accompany him. He can't even eat much as his appetite has decreased greatly. You know that his injuries haven't recovered yet. If his nutrition can't keep up, I don't know when he will recover. He's too lonely..."
Seeing that the butler's words were getting more and more ridiculous, Fang Yao touched his forehead helplessly and quickly stopped him. "Butler, go and check how the food is coming along."
"The servants will inform you when the meal is ready, Young Master." The butler looked at Fang Yao in confusion.
Fang Yao said calmly, "I know. Go take a look anyway."
"Alright." Before he left, the butler took a deep look at Yin Xun and said, 'Miss Yin, you must come over. Our Young Master needs you.
The two of them watched helplessly as the butler left.
"Do you want to come over and eat with us?" Fang Yao pretended to be natural and asked.
Yin Xun thought about it. Although the food at Fang Yao's house was very tempting, Liu Ying's cooking was not bad either.
She had already troubled Fang Yao enough. If she continued to eat at his place without bringing gifts, it would be too impolite. What if she became an annoyance after a long time?
Fang Yao and the butler were so polite because they were neighbors. She should know how to be considerate.
"No, Liu Ying must be cooking at home now. I'll just go home and eat." Yin Xun declined the invitation.
Yin Xun talked about Liu Ying very intimately, it was as if they were family. 'Going home' meant that Yin Xun already treated Liu Ying as family, so the words came out very naturally.
Fang Yao suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. He had been with Yin Xun for so long, but Yin Xun did not treat him like that. On the other hand, Liu Ying had only been with Yin Xun for a few days, and they were almost family. How was he inferior to Liu Ying?
His eyes darkened as an idea gradually surfaced in his mind.
"Do you mind if I have a free meal?" Fang Yao asked Yin Xun.
"Huh?" Yin Xun was stunned. "Are you saying that you're going to my house to eat?n
Fang Yao nodded. "Coincidentally, my house prepared some roasted meat. I'll get someone to send it over when it's done. You don't have to worry that Liu Ying won 't cook enough.. "
...
Chapter 333: Have Manners
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Since he had already said this, Yin Xun had no reason to disagree. Moreover, Liu Ying would definitely be very happy to see Fang Yao.
As long as she could make her two investors happy, wouldn't that make her investments better?
At the thought of money, a smile slowly appeared on Yin Xun's lips. She stared at Fang Yao with a burning gaze and said, "Sure, we can go together now." Looking into her eyes, Fang Yao felt an indescribable and strange feeling.
After Fang Yao informed the butler, he went to Yin Xun's house with her.
When they entered the courtyard, just as Yin Xun had said, Liu Ying had already come over to cook. At this moment, her sports car was parked in the courtyard. Tan Ai was standing at the entrance of the villa, as if she was enjoying the breeze.
Yin Xun asked Tan Ai in confusion, "Why are you outside?"
Tan Ai looked into the room and said lightly, "It's life-threatening inside."
Yin Xun and Fang Yao looked at each other. They did not know what Tan Ai meant. She had always been the quiet type. Even if she was asked questions, she would only answer with a few words at most. It would be great if they could be more friendly.
Yin Xun and Fang Yao entered the house together. As soon as they reached the door, the two of them choked and coughed.
"Has the kitchen exploded? Cough, cough, cough..." Yin Xun coughed and asked Tan Ai.
Tan Ai, who was a few meters away from the door, shrugged and said, "Miss Liu Ying is just doing research."
"Research?" Yin Xun did not understand, so she decided to go in and take a look.
They had no idea what was going on inside, but a spicy smell instantly drilled into their throats and eyes. The two of them had just walked into the house when they choked and coughed some more.
Fang Yao had it worse. He could not stand spicy food, to begin with. He felt even worse now.
Yin Xun wanted to tell him to wait outside first, but the moment she opened her mouth, she coughed. She had no choice but to give up. She endured the uncomfortable feeling and went to the hall, only to find that smoke was coming from the kitchen.
She rushed into the kitchen and realized that Liu Ying was cooking something. She was wearing a mask and a hat. She even seemed to be fully armed, like a robber.
Yin Xun walked over to see what Liu Ying was doing. She was actually stir-frying chili !
"I'm making a new dish. Wait for a bit. If the sensation is irritating, go outside and wait. It'll be fine once it's done." Liu Ying pushed Yin Xun out of the kitchen.
Yin Xun and Fang Yao stood outside with Tan Ai. After waiting for about ten minutes, the smoke in the room finally receded; Liu Ying seemed to be done.
When it was time to eat, Yin Xun finally found out what she made. They were having hotpot tonight, and Liu Ying was making her own chili sauce.
Although Yin Xun and Liu Ying did not get along in the past, they both liked to eat spicy food. Therefore, this time, whether it was the hotpot or the ingredients, she used the spiciest chili.
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing as they ate, Fang Yao only ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables and then stopped eating.
Liu Ying's attention was actually on Fang Yao the whole time. When she saw that Fang Yao did not eat, she said to Yin Xun, "Yin Xun, why didn't you tell me that Young Master Fang was coming? If I had known that he was coming, I wouldn't have made hotpot." After saying that, she said to Fang Yao, "I'm sorry, Young Master Fang. I don't think you like hotpot very much. Why don't you go back first this time? I'll make something else the next time you visit."
Yin Xun looked at Liu Ying in surprise. Liu Ying actually asked Fang Yao to go back. This was not what she had expected.
"It's okay. I can eat anything."
As soon as Fang Yao finished speaking, Yin Xun's doorbell rang. Yin Xun quickly went to open the door. As expected, it was the butler. At this moment, he was holding a sealed box, and the faint fragrance of roasted meat wafted out.
"Miss Yin, our Young Master's roasted meat is ready. You guys can eat it together." The butler handed the roasted meat to Yin Xun and was about to leave.
Yin Xun invited him to join them, but the butler refused.
After the butler left, Yin Xun returned with the roasted meat and sat back on the chair. She looked at Fang Yao and Liu Ying and felt that there was something wrong with their gazes.
"Young Master Fang, you're being so polite. You came over to eat, but you still didn't forget to bring some food," Liu Ying said with a smile.
Fang Yao glanced at her indifferently and said, "I just have basic manners."
Liu Ying,
Why did it sound like he was mocking her for eating and drinking for free?
Liu Ying continued to ask, "Then what does Young Master Fang think of my culinary skills? I heard from Yin Xun that before I came, she had to go to your house to eat every day, but there's no need for that now. Now that I'm cooking, she doesn't have to worry about meals.."
...
Chapter 334: You Like Yin Xun, Don 't You
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Liu Ying lowered her head slightly and said in embarrassment, "But hotpot can't showcase my skills. Now that I know that you can't take spicy food, you can rest assured. I'll know what to cook for you next time, so Yin Xun can bring you over next time."
"Can I come over again?" Fang Yao asked Yin Xun.
"Of course," Yin Xun replied.
Yin Xun thought to herself, 'As expected, these two look to be in a good mood.'
Liu Ying and Fang Yao chatted for a while more. However, Yin Xun felt that there was something wrong between the two of them. What exactly was wrong? She thought about it carefully but could not figure it out.
After dinner, the three of them tidied up the table and took a break. Fang Yao wanted Yin Xun to start training.
"Ah, I've been delivering packages for half a day today. Do I still need to train?" Yin Xun's face was filled with worry.
Fang Yao nodded. "Your physical strength has been trained, but you still have to revise your combat skills. No matter how tired you are every day, you have to revise them. They can save your life at critical moments."
Initially, when Fang Yao saw Yin Xun personally running around to deliver packages, he did not want her to train today. He even wanted to stop for a few days first. However, that changed when they met the fat man.
This proved that even if it had nothing to do with Si Fan, other accidents could happen in her life. It was impossible for Fang Yao to be by Yin Xun's side at all times. It was better to let her have the skills to protect herself.
Faced with Fang Yao's forceful request, Yin Xun could not refuse. She could only ask Tan Ai to go to the gym in the basement together with her.
After she started training with Fang Yao, Fang Yao hired some people to renovate her gym. He bought a lot of equipment, but they were usually just decorations.
If not for Fang Yao's urging, she would never have touched these things.
Recently, Fang Yao was injured and could not spar with her, so he asked the two bodyguards to practice fighting techniques with Yin Xun.
In the past, she thought that Fang Yao was merciless and would beat her up until her entire body hurt. However, after sparring with the bodyguards, she realized how easy Fang Yao was on her.
It was probably because the bodyguards understood the need to protect her.
Every time they sparred with Yin Xun, they would not hold back. Every time, Yin Xun would be pummeled until she collapsed to the ground.
It was not that the bodyguards did it on purpose; they simply forgot to control their strength. Every time they knocked Yin Xun down, they would apologize to her repeatedly.
Therefore, Yin Xun looked at Fang Yao's injured shoulder and lamented in her heart. Was this her karma?
Liu Ying usually left after dinner, but this time, since Fang Yao was also there, she stayed behind and went to the basement with Fang Yao and the others.
When Yin Xun and Tan Ai started to spar, Liu Ying moved to Fang Yao's side and poked him with her hand.
Fang Yao gave her a sidelong glance to ask her what was going on.
Liu Ying pretended to be mysterious and gestured for Fang Yao to stand a little further away from her. Fang Yao could not help but be puzzled when he saw how strangely she was.
Slap!
Yin Xun was thrown over Tan Ai's shoulder. Fortunately, when they were renovating, Fang Yao got someone to put a layer of foam and carpet on the ground. This way, Yin Xun would not be in pain when she fell, and they would not have to hold back when sparring.
"Thank you for this." This was the gratitude that Yin Xun expressed to Fang Yao after she heard Fang Yao's explanation.
Thinking back to Yin Xun's angry expression back then, Fang Yao smiled faintly.
Fang Yao and Liu Ying walked to the side. Seeing that Yin Xun had been knocked down by Tan Ai, he said in a low voice, "Watch your strength."
"Yes!" Tan Ai replied.
Liu Ying's gaze swept across Fang Yao, Yin Xun, and Tan Ai. At first, she looked puzzled, but then she looked enlightened.
"Young Master Fang, unless I'm mistaken, you like Yin Xun, don't you?" Liu Ying's tone was less of a question and sounded more like a fact.
Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying indifferently, then turned his gaze to Yin Xun.
There was air conditioning in the basement, so it was not hot at all. However, Yin Xun was still sweating a lot because of the match with Tan Ai. Her fair skin was covered in a layer of red because of the sweat.
"Yes." Fang Yao did not intend to deny it. Instead, he admitted it directly.
Liu Ying was surprised by Fang Yao's direct admission.
She suddenly thought of Si Fan. Someone like Si Fan would not be so honest.
"You admitted it just like that? Shouldn't you be evading the question to show your dignity as a domineering CEO?"
Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying as if he was looking at an idiot. "Can't a domineering CEO say that he likes someone? Besides, who else fits the description of domineering CEO more than Yin Xun?"
Yin Xun only cared about her career and earning money. She did not care about anything else at all. Fang Yao had already hinted about his feelings so obviously, but she could not figure out how he felt about her at all. Sometimes, it was horribly infuriating..
...
Chapter 335: Chase Me
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
However, this was probably the reason why he was attracted to her.
Liu Ying also looked at Yin Xun and nodded in agreement. 'That's true. In the past, I thought that Yin Xun was the most annoying person in the world, even worse than Yin Mo. Although Yin MO stole my Si Fan... Pfft, he's not mine, but Yin MO has never hurt me.
"As for Yin Xun, she actually sent me to prison as soon as I returned to the country. At that time, I hated her to death. Having a criminal record is equivalent to ruining my life. However, later on, I understood that I was the one who made a mistake first..."
Liu Ying looked at Yin Xun while she was still talking to Fang Yao. Fang Yao did not interrupt her because what she said was related to Yin Xun. Fang Yao listened quietly from the side.
"If I hadn't listened to Si Fan and didn't run into Uncle Yin with a car or play dirty tricks on the Yin family by giving them materials, Yin Xun wouldn't have treated me like that. After spending some time with Yin Xun and comparing that to my time with Si Fan, I realized that Yin Xun is a good friend." As she finished speaking, Liu Ying looked at Yin Xun with a smile.
However, Fang Yao's focus was on Liu Ying hurting Yin Xun's family. He looked at Liu Ying coldly and said unhappily, "You hurt her family in the past?"
Liu Ying,
She quickly waved her hands and said, "Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?! I already said that was in the past. I was an idiot in the past. I actually listened to Si Fan and did whatever he asked me to do. But don't worry, I didn't succeed. Later, Yin Xun sent me directly to prison."
"As expected of Yin Xun." Fang Yao sighed.
Liu Ying, "...Can't you at least pay some attention to me when you praise her?"
"You're now..."
"All my assets are with Yin Xun now. Her life is my life, so don't worry. I won't hurt her, and I will even help her earn money. After all, my future happiness depends on Yin Xun."
Liu Ying revealed a gloating expression. "But... Yin Xun doesn't seem to know that you like her, and she doesn't know her feelings either."
Liu Ying's words hit Fang Yao where it hurt the most. He looked at Liu Ying coldly.
He did not expect Liu Ying, who had just moved in for a few days, to be able to tell all this.
Fang Yao felt that Liu Ying's attitude toward him was completely different from before. When he first came to this neighborhood, Liu Ying's attitude toward him could only be described as reverence. It was as if she was trying to please him in every possible way. That feeling was very similar to what he felt with Qu Lu.
Liu Ying could see the danger in Fang Yao's eyes. She took two steps to the side and put on a proud expression. "In the past, no one supported me, so I had no choice but to try getting close to you. It's different now. I have Yin Xun. She can support me, so don't think you can scare me."
At this point, Liu Ying smiled and added, "Who knows, you might have to rely on me to pursue Yin Xun in the future. If you provoke me, not only will I refuse to help you, but I will also get in your way, making it even harder for you to woo her!"
Liu Ying's tone was a little agitated, so her last sentence was a little loud, and even Yin Xun heard it.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at Liu Ying in confusion. "What did you say? Who's pursuing who?"
"It's Young Master Fang, he..." Liu Ying was about to say something when she was stopped by Fang Yao's gaze.
Faced with Fang Yao's threatening look, Liu Ying's words were already on the tip of her tongue, but she forcefully changed them. "Young Master Fang was telling me to run so that he can chase me..."
Before she could finish, Liu Ying fell silent, and so did Fang Yao.
On the other hand, Yin Xun looked at the two of them in disbelief and sighed. "Young people are quite good at playing games."
Fang Yao wanted to explain, but Yin Xun did not give him the chance. She waved her hand and said, "You guys can play around. The basement is very big.
If it's not enough, you can go to the courtyard to run."
After Yin Xun finished speaking, she continued sparring.
"Aren't you going to explain to her?" Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying coldly and asked in a deep voice.
Liu Ying shook her head. "It doesn't matter to me anyway."
Feeling the strong murderous intent, Liu Ying's heart raced. She quickly bid farewell to Yin Xun and ran away.
Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying's back and thought to himself that he could not let Liu Ying come to Yin Xun's house for dinner anymore. Yin Xun was dull with her emotions, to begin with. If she was affected by Liu Ying, his future road would be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, he bid farewell to Yin Xun and planned to go back and think of a solution.
However, he did not expect that, after he and Liu Ying left, Yin Xun really believed that he and Liu Ying were playing a game of chasing each other.
She sighed.. "Did they really go out to play?"
...
Chapter 336: I Like Yin Xun
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
Bang!
Yin Xun turned around when she heard the sound and realized that Tan Ai had fallen to the ground. She quickly went to help her up and asked with concern, "Why did you fall? Are you alright?"
The corners of Tan Ai's mouth twitched. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
After Fang Yao went home, he called the butler over.
"What was that you mentioned about Liu Ying going to Yin Xun's house for dinner every day?" Fang Yao's face was serious, and he did not seem to be in a good mood.
The butler was puzzled. What happened? Why did Fang Yao become like this after a meal? Was he unhappy about eating with Yin Xun?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the butler answered, "Miss Yin said that Miss Liu Ying had a falling out with her family, and she invested all her money into Miss Yin. Now, she does not even have money for food, so she goes to Miss
Yin's house to cook her meals."
Fang Yao thought for a moment and said to the butler, "Go find Liu Ying and help me pass on a message. We'll discuss a business deal..."
As the night deepened, all the street lamps in the neighborhood lit up one after another, and the surroundings were filled with mosquitoes.
After Yin Xun finished her training with Tan Ai, she took a comfortable bath and did some skincare before taking a glass of milk to the balcony.
The night was not as hot as the day. The breeze made Yin Xun feel very comfortable, though it would be even better if there were no mosquitoes.
Perhaps it was because of the bright lighting of the balcony; Yin Xun had only stood there for two minutes when her arm started to itch. She scratched it twice and looked down. There was a huge red bump.
Yin Xun originally wanted to imitate a scene from those pastoral dramas in television dramas. On a starry night with the moonlight just right, she would sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. Then, she would quietly watch the beautiful night sky. However, she neglected the fact that there were mosquitoes.
Whoosh—
Yin Xun was struggling with the mosquito bites when Fang Yao's window was opened.
"What's wrong?" did not want to open the window at first, but when he saw Yin Xun scratching around like a monkey, he could not help but open the window and ask her about it.
Fang Yao had appeared without warning many times. This time, Yin Xun was not startled. She said calmly, "There are too many mosquitoes. I only came out for a short while, and I already have a few big bites on my body. Seriously, it's such a great night, but it was ruined by the mosquitoes."
Her arm was red from the scratching, but that still could not stop the itching.
Fang Yao was a distance away, so he could not see Yin Xun's arm clearly. He asked, "Don't you have any itch medicine at home?"
Yin Xun shook her head. "No, I don't usually get bitten. I don't know what's wrong with me today."
"It's late summer and almost autumn. Mosquitoes are the most active right now. Do you need mosquito repellent? I'll get the butler to send it to you... Oh right, I forgot. The butler is not at home now. Wait for me. I'll send it to you." Fang Yao was about to close the window.
Yin Xun hurriedly stopped him. "No need, no need. I'll go get it myself. You haven't recovered yet."
Hearing that Yin Xun wanted to come over and get it herself, Fang Yao did not argue. He smiled and agreed. "Okay."
Usually, she and would see each other from time to time. Yin Xun was not that particular about meeting him. She only changed into some casual wear and left. Her hair was still wet.
The weather was warm these days, and Yin Xun did not like to dry her hair with a hairdryer. She preferred to dry it naturally.
Fang Yao's house was not locked, so Yin Xun went straight in.
Fang Yao moved quickly and was already waiting for her in the living room with the mosquito repellent.
"Thank you." Yin Xun took it and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a bird on the other side of the living room from the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw that it was the green-feathered parrot she had given to Fang Yao the other day.
Yin Xun was about to leave, but when she saw the parrot, she stopped her footsteps and turned to move toward the bird.
"You raised it well. It's gained so much weight in the past few days." Yin Xun walked to the parrot's side and sighed.
When she saw the parrot standing there obediently, she reached out to touch it. However, before her hand could touch it, she heard the parrot speak. "I like Yin
Xun, I like Yin Xun..."
It was hard to tell whether the parrot only knew this one sentence, or if it particularly liked saying this one. In any case, it kept repeating this sentence like a broken record.
Yin Xun, "!"
Fang Yao,
Fang Yao did not expect the parrot to be so intelligent. He had only told the parrot that he liked Yin Xun once, but he did not expect it to remember his words.
The bird had never said these words before, so why did it suddenly speak when it saw Yin Xun today?
Fang Yao immediately became nervous. After all, this was the parrot he had been raising. If it said such things, it could only mean that he had said it before and really had such thoughts. What would Yin Xun think about this?
Thinking of this, Fang Yao's heart was filled with anticipation..
...
Chapter 337: Interrupted Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndLessFantasy Translation
When Yin Xun heard the parrot's words, her face was filled with surprise, She leaned closer to the parrot to take a look, then turned to ask Fang Yao, ''You're amazing. The green-feathered parrot shouldn't be able to speak. How did you reach it?!'1
Fang Yao, "...I've never specifically taught it anything. It might have learned it by itself after imitating words.'"
The hint was so obvious that Fang Yao stared at Yin Xun.
"Wow, you're so smartl" Unexpectedly, Yin Xun only sighed and said to the parrot, "1 like you too.'1
Fang Yao,
Fine, he knew it wTould turn out like this.
As soon as Yin Xun finished speaking to it, the parrot stopped talking. Yin Xun thought that the parrot had just let out a few impromptu cries. Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, just as she was about to leave, the parrot suddenly began to speak again. "Idiot, idiot..."
Yin Xun made a face and threatened the panrot. "Did you do it on purpose? How dare you call me an idiot? Do you believe me when 1 say 1'11 flick your beak?"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of wanting to flick the parrot. This parrot was really smart. Perhaps it understood what she said or was afraid of her actions; it actually flew away.
At this moment, Yin Xun realized that Fang Yao did not tie the parrot down and allowed it to fly around the hall.
'Aren't you going to tie it down?" Yin Xun turned around and asked.
Fang Yao shook his head. "The windows here are all closed, and the door is closed too, so we don't have to worry about it escaping. Besides, there are so many green plants here, and there are birds flying around. It looks like a small garden.1
When he said this, Fang Yao's tone was a little bitter. Other than giving him green plants, Yin Xun was also giving him birds. Did he look like a gardener?
However, Yin Xun did not notice his bitterness. She listened to Fang Yao's words and turned to look at the plants in the hall. Indeed, there were a lot of them. Even if Fang Yao suddenly lost his job, he did not have to worry about making a living. He could just sell these flowers to make ends meet.
However, she was worried about another problem. "It can't fly away, but you do know that birds are complex creatures, right? They eat and defecate as they please..."
Fang Yao said, "...The maids have been cleaning all this time. 1 didn't even notice."
As expected, Yin Xun s thoughts were always so unique.
Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun, who was playing with the parrot. She stretched out her arm in an attempt to let the parrot land on it.
When Yin Xun got the parrot, the shop owner said that as long as she stretched out an arm and whistled, the parrot would fly over and land on her body.
Yin Xun tried for a long time, bur the parrot ignored her.
Fang Yao smiled and stretched out his arm. At the same time, he whistled. Under Yin Xun's surprised gaze, the parrot immediately flew to Fang Yao's arm. After stabilizing itself, it looked at Yin Xun and then lolled its head to the side.
Yin Xun said, "Why do I feel like it's looking down on me?'
Fang Yao said, "It sure looks like it."
Yin Xun,.."
"Alright, it's getting late. I should go back to sleep. You should rest early too.1 Yin Xun looked up and smiled at Fang Yao. She then reminded him, "Since Uncle Butler isn't around, it must be inconvenient for you to do things. If anything happens, you can call me anytime. Don't worry about waking me up."
Fang Yao's heart skipped a beat and he blurted, 'Then why don't you stay with me? It'll be more convenient..."
Before he could finish, he realized that his words were inappropriate. Fang Yao stopped himself and apologized, "I'm sorry, 1.
'That's a good idea. Anyway, you have many rooms. Just give me an empty room to sleep in. Anyway, 1'11 take care of you for one night. When the butler comes back, I'll leave. Don't feel embarrassed. You saved my life, so it's normal for me to take care of you." Yin Xun did not mind at all.
Fang Yao looked at Yin Xun. When she left her house, she did not dry her hair. Her thick black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders. Occasionally, water droplets fell from the ends of her hair and landed on her smooth forehead and neck, which sparkled under the light. Fang Yao was a little lost in thought.
''Yin Xun..." Fang Yao called out softly.
"Huh?" Yin Xun looked at him in confusion.
'Actually..." Fang Yao felt that the two of them had known each other for so long that he had long confirmed his feelings for Yin Xun. Since he liked Yin Xun, he might as well tell her.
As for Yin Xun, whether she rejected or accept his feeling, he would bear rhe outcome. Their cooperation would continue in the future, in any case.
Even if he was terribly rejected, he would still help her with all his might in the future.
Before he could say the words, however, he was interrupted by the sound of the door opening..
...
Chapter 338: Say It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndLessFantasy Translation
'Young Master, I'm back.. Oh, Miss Yin is also here/' The door of the living room was opened, and the butler's smiling face was revealed.
Yin Xun also greeted him, "Uncle Butler, you're back, In that case, it seems like 1 don't need to stay here tonight. I'll go back first,'1 Yin Xun bid farewell to the two of them and walked out.
When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked Fang Yao, "By the way. Fang Yao, what did you want to say just now?"
Fang Yao sighed and shook his head," It's fine. Let's talk about it next time."
Yin Xun frowned slightly and said, "You don't have to feel embarrassed with me. If you have anything to say, just say it. 1 like to face difficulties head-on and solve them because running away will only make things worse."
She thought that Fang Yao wanted to talk to her about work because he had gone with her to deliver the packages today. Perhaps he had discovered something bad that needed improvement, but he was too embarrassed to say it out of respect for her.
The butler, who had always been supportive of Fang Yao and Yin Xun, did not know what was going on at this moment. He could tell what Fang Yao was thinking, and he quickly interrupted. "Miss Yin, it is too late now. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. Your health is the most important. Seriously, young people are always fighting for their careers. They don't even care about their health. What if they fall sick in the future?"
Since the butler had already said this, Yin Xun smiled and nodded in agreement. "Then we'll talk again. I'm going back to sleep. Bye."
Yin Xun bid them farewell and went back.
After Yin Xun left. Fang Yao frowned at the butler and said, '"You did that on purpose just now."
The butler sighed and said, "Young Master, don't forget that Miss Yin and Madam have already signed a contract. Seriously, if you did not interrupt, wouldn't it be too late to say it now? if you were to breach the contract, then the price that Miss Yin would have to pay right now is not something that she can afford. My older brother is also an antique of a man. He even thinks that Yin Xun's family background is not good enough and is not worthy of you."
Ar the mention of the contract, Fang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said,' 1 came to this neighborhood to avoid my mother's constant pestering for me to get married. It's far from home, and not many people know about this place, L didn't expect Qu Lu to find me and tell my mother. Originally, my mother only thought that 1 was investing, but she didn't know who the other party was. After Qu Lu tipped her off, my mother found out about Yin Xun and has been monitoring us ever since."
'Young Master, was Miss Qu really sent by Madam to monitor you? 1 have stayed with the Fang family for many years. Back then, 1 took care of your parents with my brother for a long time. It was only after you were born that 1 came to take care of you. Based on my understanding of your parents, they are not people who would do such a thing. I would guess that it was Miss Qu who did it all herself. 1 have already said that 1 felt that she was a very jealous person. As expected, Miss Yin is better.
At the mention of Qu Lu, the butler looked displeased. He had never liked that young lady from the very beginning.
Fang Yao said, "It doesn't matter if my parents did it or not. What's important is that my parents now know about Yin Xun and they know that I'm very close to her. That's why they were so secretive with the second investment. In order to negotiate with Yin Xun, they deliberately bypassed me to meet Yin Xun and signed the contract,"
"Then what should we do?" The butler was worried. If there was no way to solve this problem, even if Yin Xun had fallen in love with Fang Yao, the two of them would not be able to be together. No matter how strong Fang Yao was, he could nor win against the family's power.
"It's fine. I'll get them to terminate the contract in the future." Fang Yao looked calm and relaxed. He was really not worried about this matter. What he was most worried about now was Yin Xun's thoughts.
However, the butler was still anxious. He had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of people. Although Qu Lu had always been obedient, sensible, and meek, for some reason, he did nor have a good impression of her.
On the other hand, Yin Xun was a generous person. Although she would sometimes be rude, she was very carefree. He liked her from the bottom of his heart and wTanted Yin Xun to be the young mistress of the Fang family.
Fang Yao sighed and said, "It will take some time for them to accept Yin Xun. The most important thing now is not whether they'll accept Yin Xun, but what Yin Xun thinks of me...'
In front of the butler, Fang Yao never minded being honest; the butler almost lost his life trying to save him in the past. There wTas no question of his loyalty. The butler was fully loyal to him and treated him like his own child..

Chapter 339: Something Happened To Blue Fox
Translator: EndlessFantaay Translation Editor: End LessFantasy Translation
'Young Master, have you realized that ever since you met Miss Yin, you seem to be sighing more and more?" The butler looked at Fang Yao and asked.
"Indeed, only Miss Yin is able to control you. 1 am suddenly looking forward to my future life..." The butler had a hopeful look on his face.
Fang Yao,
It seemed that he had been emotional too early. The butler had spent too much time with YinXun and had been infected.
"By the way. Young Master, 1 went to talk to Miss Liu Ying about your idea just now. She said that if you want her help, you have to promise her something." At this point, the butler suddenly revealed a strange expression.
Seeing the butler's expression, Fang Yao knew that something bad was going to happen.
As expected, the housekeeper said slowly, "She said that she wants to come to our house for a free meal.1.
Fang Yao thought about it and nodded in agreement. "Sure.'
"Just like that?" The butler felt incredulous.
Fang Yao said, 'We just have to ask the chef to make an extra portion for her. It's not troublesome/1
The butler frowned. Would this not get in the way of Fang Yao and Yin Xun spending time together?
However, although the butler had doubts, Fang Yao did not answer them. After giving the instructions, he returned to his room.
Yin Xun went straight to bed after returning home.
After a comfortable night's sleep, she drove her three-wheeled motorcycle to the warehouse the next day. However, she received a call from Mi Jin when she was not far from the neighborhood.
'President Yin, something happened to Blue Fox!" Through the phone, Yin Xun could already tell that Mi Jin was pleased.
Yin Xun could vaguely guess what was going on, but she asked Mi Jin to make sure. "What is it?"
'President Yin, if possible, you had better come back personally to take a look. In addition, 1 think that we can take this opportunity to directly defeat Blue Fox. Even if we can't defeat it completely, we can still cause Blue Fox to suffer a huge blowr in the future. Their company will not be able to challenge us for some time.'
Yin Xun thought for a while. The delivery problem could be postponed for now, but she could not miss an opportunity to defeat Si Fan. Hence, she agreed. "Alright, 1'11 go over now."
After hanging up the phone, Yin Xun turned the bike around and went straight to the company office.
After parking the car at the entrance of the building, Yin Xun walked straight inside.
At this moment, she was still wearing her delivery uniform and mask. Her hair was also stuffed into her hat, so those who did not know her well could not recognize her.
She had just reached the door when she was stopped by the security guard.
"Wait, couriers aren't allowed in here. If there's a delivery, you can give it to me. 1'11 pass it over for you," the security guard said good-naturedly.
Only then did Yin Xun remember how she looked She took off her mask and said helplessly, "It's me. 1 came here in a hurry and didn't change my clothes."
The security guard saw that it was Yin Xun. He was instantly shocked as he said, "President Yin, it's you. In that case, please come in, please come in!"
He was very curious as to why Yin Xun was wearing a delivery uniform to work, but his status was too different from Yin Xun's. This was not something he could ask about. He could only suppress his curiosity and usher Yin Xun in.
"This is the uniform of our company's express delivery. You're new here, right?" Yin Xun pointed at her clothes and said to rhe security guard, "In the future, employees of Xintao Express can enter the building, but other express delivery sendees can't be let in."
"Yes!" The security guard nodded in agreement.
When Yin Xun arrived at the office, Mi Jin was already waiting for her at the door.
The two of them went inside the office. Mi Jin quickly reported Blue Fox's matter to Yin Xun. At the same time, he asked Yin Xun to take out her phone and gestured for her to open a social media post.
Yesterday, Blue Fox took advantage of the popularity of Xintao s advertisement to go online. This was the first time people could buy something from them via mobile phone. Coupled with the influence of Xintao, it became a great center of attention and attracted many people.
After all, although Xintao was a mobile phone app, there were restrictions. It could only be used by Zhenku and Xiaoguo phones. Not everyone had the money to buy a mobile phone just for that software.
In addition to this, there was also Blue Fox's previous discount. Everyone was eager to see what compensation Blue Fox would give the users. After all, they had not given all the details back then.
Some users analyzed that it would not be long before Xintao was released, Therefore, Blue Fox would definitely be aware of this incoming crisis. Previously, the discount on the computer site had caused such a huge commotion. This time, the company would surely give the users a lot of compensation, As for Xintao, although it was very popular previously, this did not matter. This was the case in business. Being a step late would be fatal.
Before this, Xintao had constantly been suppressing Blue Fox. However, now that Blue Fox had started to counterattack, they prioritized going online first. Blue Fox did not give Xintao a chance to survive. Presumably, Xintao would not be able to hold on for long after this and would disappear..
...
Chapter 340: A Huge Problem
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndLesiFantasy Translation
In the past, there were internet companies that tried to shake Blue Fox's status. Some of them were even more popular than Xintao was now. In the end, they all disappeared without a trace. Since they had no legal representatives, Xintao would definitely end up the same.
It was hard to tell if the users talking about this were really Blue Fox's fans or rhe paid content creators. Blue Fox was praised by them so much that Xintao was degraded to nothing.
Seeing this, Yin Xun simply smiled and did not take it seriously.
How could a business war be so simple? The right time, right place, and right people were all needed. If Blue Fox really made a comeback, she felt that it was quite a good thing. At the very least, it proved that the male protagonist did not rely on the protagonist's aura but had some ability of his own.
Yin Xun continued reading.
This user had a lot of followers. Under their instigation, many people who did not know what was going on promptly supported Blue Fox. They said that although they had never tried Xintao, they knew at a glance that Xintao could not compare.
These people scoffed at the users who used Xintao. They thought that Xintao users were a group of poor people who were desperate for coupons. They even said that Blue Fox's future development would definitely be a slap in the face of all those who used Xintao,
Currently, the users of Xintao were limited to the users of the two phone brands. Compared to the entire Internet, this accounted for too few people. Therefore, there were only a few people on the losing side.
Yin Xun looked at rhe people who spoke up for Xintao. Although the comments were from yesterday, she still gave them a Like.
'We're all just small weeds on the internet. Who's to say one person is better than another? Comparing all this is just silly.'1 Yin Xun sighed.
Mi Jin was shocked as he looked at her. He complained, ''President Yin, what you are saying? If we want to earn money, don't we have to rely on these weeds? The more they buy, the more we can compete. Only then can we make more money."
Yin Xun nodded. 'That's right. That's why they're stupid. It's fine as long as they buy what they need, In order to make up rhe bill, they even bought a bunch of useless things. In the end, they spent money for nothing. Also, since they're just weeds, shouldn't they try their best to fight for the greatest benefit for themselves? Who would speak up for capitalists?"
After saying that, Yin Xun tried to click on the user's main page to check if he was a troll or a real user. In the end, she could not click on it at all. It showed that the user had deleted their account.
'What's going on?" Yin Xun clicked on rhe comments section again and found that she could not drop a comment, though she could still Like it.
She asked in confusion, "Mi Jin, why are you showing me this?" What was the point of looking at this when it had already been locked?
Mi Jin shook his head and said, '"There is no point. I'm just showing it to you to make you feel better."
Under Yin Xun's puzzled gaze, Mi Jin took out an old phone and handed it over to Yin Xun. "President Yin, do you have a bank card with very little money? You must not have much on it. It would be best if it was just a few tens of yuan. You can try using Blue Fox to buy something."
Although Yin Xun did not understand what Mi Jin meant, she still did as she was told.
She did not have a Blue Fox account yet, so she registered one on the spot. Then, she followed Mi Jin's instructions and spent a few yuan to buy a small item.
In the beginning, everything was normal. Yin Xun was still puzzled by what was happening. There was no problem. Although the software was a little slow, it was understandable because the phone she was using was relatively old. It might be a problem of running the app on too little memory.
However, after more than ten seconds, she knew why Mi Jin asked her to test it like this.
Just as she was feeling more and more puzzled, she suddenly received a text message from the bank. She looked at it and saw that her balance was zero!
Yin Xun thought that the bank had sent it to the wrong account, so she used her phone to check again. It was still zero. Her face instantly darkened.
Thinking of Mi Jin's reaction just now, she immediately understood. She gritted her teeth and looked at Mi Jin. "Why didn't you tell me directly? Must you make me experience it personally? Seriously, 1 don't have any money left!"
Mi Jin adjusted his glasses and looked to the side. He sard in a weak voice, 'Wouldn't it be better to understand exactly how scummy your opponent is by experiencing it yourself? Moreover, 1 reminded you to use a bank card with little money..."
Yin Xun,.."
Why did she feel that Mi Jin had become a little evil recently? He even had the nerve to play tricks on her. When he first came, he was cautious and reserved.
"A couple dozen yuan is still money. Moreover, 1 had zoo yuan here..." Yin Xun was a little helpless, zoo yuan was still money. Lt could buy a lot of things.
However, because of this, Yin Xun knew how serious the incident with Blue Fox was. Si Fan was in deep trouble now..
...
Chapter 341: Like Opening A Mystery Box
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mi Jin asked Yin Xun to use the Blue Fox software for a while longer. Yin Xun thought that since there was no more money in her bank account, she did not have to worry about her money being deducted anymore. Hence, she listened to Mi Jin's instructions and started to look through the various goods.
At first, everything was normal except for the checking out. After browsing for a while, Yin Xun felt that something was wrong.
Her phone became hotter and hotter until it was a little scalding. It became more and more difficult to swipe the software. It was as if the screen had lost its sensitivity until it was completely stuck. She could not rewind even if she wanted to.
Yin Xun was exasperated. After waiting for a while, the phone became even hotter but the software showed no signs of reverting. She had no choice but to turn off the phone and try to restart it. After all, turning off the phone was the best cure for electronic products.
However, right after she did that, Yin Xun realized that it had somehow restarted on its own. In addition, various promotional news suddenly occupied half of the phone screen. Taking advantage of the fact that the software had just started running and had not settled in properly, Yin Xun quickly logged out. Sure enough, she managed to log out, but the app background was still running.
In order to prevent the software from being permanently stuck, Yin Xun quickly uninstalled the software along with the local storage files. Yin Xun thought that she was finally free. However, when she left the uninstallation interface, she realized that the Blue Fox software was still there. It had not been successfully uninstalled just now! "What's going on?" Yin Xun asked with a frown.
Mi Jin shrugged and said, "This software has just been completed. It's equivalent to asking users to help find bugs. A software that has only just been completed and hasn't been tested can have a variety of problems, such as the software becoming a virus."
"In other words, there might be many problems with this software in different models of phones. What I've encountered so far is a deduction of money and jamming."
"That's right. This kind of bug is like opening a mystery box. Even the same phone type might have different bugs." Mi Jin looked at Yin Xun in confusion, as if she was the main culprit.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yin Xun shifted to the side. This had nothing to do with her. She was not a black-hearted CEO.
Mi Jin smiled and said, "President Yin, this matter is also related to you. If you did not force him into such a crisis, he would not have taken such a gamble. He did not even do the tests before he went online with the software. Was this your plan? It is obvious that our Xintao is not ready for launch yet, but you were acting as if you are going online immediately. You created such a huge commotion that Si Fan thought he was running out of time."
"You think too highly of Si Fan. Even if he proceeded at a steady pace, do you think I'm afraid of him? I didn't expect him to be this impatient. I really don't know he started the company" Yin Xun said helplessly.
"I'm an example of swindling and more swindling." Mi Jin lowered his eyes and said indifferently.
"It's okay. We'll take revenge in the end. But..." Yin Xun comforted Mi Jin. "If you have any problems next time, can you tell me directly? Don't beat around the bush. Seriously, although this phone isn't worth much, I still feel sorry that it can't be used because of such a small matter. Also, the money in my bank card just now..."
Yin Xun felt her heart ache.
Mi Jin nodded. "Sure, but only by experiencing it personally can you understand how big of a mistake Si Fan made this time. Those who spoke up for Blue Fox were quickly exposed online. Everyone went berserk and scolded those posts that praised Blue Fox. The reason why it hasn't made it to the trending searches yet is probably because everyone's phones are broken and they can't access the internet. When their phones are fixed and they have a chance to go online, this matter will probably be spread wide and far.
"Also, now you know why that user deleted his account." Mi Jin gestured for Yin Xun to open the social media and search for the words Blue Fox'. Instantly, five or six topics related to Blue Fox's software popped up.
'How do I uninstall the Blue Fox software?'
'What should I do if the Blue Fox software fails?'
'Is the Blue Fox software a scam?'
It was filled with such topics. Yin Xun clicked on them and saw many posts cursing Blue Fox. Everyone was indignant and complained that their phones had died because of Blue Fox's software. Some of the money in their bank cards had been deducted for no reason. There were also some users that could not uninstall the software. The software kept running in the background, causing their phones to overheat. In order to prevent them from burning out, they could only shut down their phones and did not dare to turn them on.
There were too many questions, and the number of replies to these posts was quite large. However, the engagement was not high. It seemed that they were deliberately restricted by the platform..
...
Chapter 342: New Delivery
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as Mi Jin had said, everyone encountered different problems, and they were all different. This software was not problematic for everyone, though. Some users who used the latest phone models kept praising this software, saying that it was convenient and cheap to buy things. They did not encounter any lagging at all.
They even claimed that the people who criticized Blue Fox were old-fashioned ghostwriters. Moreover, they were called poor people who used antiques. Since they could not afford a new phone, they could only blame the software for being too large.
Those who had no problems mocked the users who had issues, causing everyone to be even angrier. Those who had suffered losses because of Blue Fox cursed them harshly.
It would have been fine if it was just the phone that got jammed. The worst situation was for those who used Blue Fox to place an order and ended up with their bank accounts deducted. Yin Xun scrolled down twice and saw more posts of this kind.
[You guys should be glad that you only encountered a lag or a phone crash. Your phones can still be fixed. What I encountered was even worse. I don't even have any money in my bank card anymore! I used Blue Fox to buy a frying pan and got scammed. In the end, I lost more than 100,000 yuan in my bank card. It's a trash app. Give me back my hard-earned money!]
[I'm in the same situation. I don't have the 30,000 yuan in my bank account anymore. I just bought some snacks. What should I do? I clearly didn't spend that much money. Why is it gone? Can I get the money back?]
[Didn't you notice that the final price changed when you paid? It was originally only a few yuan, but it suddenly became the maximum amount. It happened to be the same amount as the balance on our card. Who would believe that Blue Fox didn't do it on purpose?! Don't use their software to buy things now. Whoever buy something will go bankrupt. Speaking of which, are there any lawyers among our victims? What should we do in such a situation? I couldn't even get through to Blue Fox's customer service. No one picked up at all. Don't tell me they ran away with the money?]
Seeing the netizens' complaints, Yin Xun sympathized deeply because she had also lost more than a hundred yuan just now.
Everyone was a common victim. Yin Xun also joined in the discussion.
[Blue Fox's actions are illegal. I've also lost money. If Blue Fox doesn't resolve it, we'll sue them together. I heard from my friend who bought a Zhenku phone that there's a lawyer's consultation shop in Xintao that can be consulted online. Why don't we go to Xintao and take a look?]
Mi Jin was at the side. When he saw the content of Yin Xun's reply, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "President Yin, with your business acumen, it would be strange if you did not earn money."
However, after that, Mi Jin suddenly thought of something. When did Xintao have an online lawyer consultation shop? He asked Yin Xun curiously, "President Yin, since when were we in the law consultation industry?"
Yin Xun put down her phone and said without changing her expression, "We will be soon."
She had gotten to know a few big lawyers a long time ago because she wanted to run Xintao. At that time, she had already agreed that they could send a special representative to open an online shop on Xintao to help clients answer their questions. It was not free of charge, but it was not expensive either. Anyone could afford it. The lawyers could answer small questions directly and let the clients send the big questions to the law firm. This way, they could help them rope in business.
Although the duty of a lawyer was to uphold the law and stand up for those who had been unfairly treated, there was one thing to pay attention to. Lawyers were also human beings. They had to eat and live. It was not shameful to want to earn money before talking about ideals.
Yin Xun shared her thoughts with Mi Jin.
"If possible, can we add another section to Xintao? This section must be on a separate page. It has to be clean and clear. There can't be too many advertisements and other nonsense. Add an online order platform. I've been too busy these past few days and forgot to tell you about it," Yin Xun said to Mi Jin.
She suddenly remembered that she wanted to make a delivery platform too. Apart from food delivery, this platform would also consider a series of methods to buy tickets online. After careful consideration, she felt that it was good to add this section to Xintao.
Yin Xun turned on her computer and found the proposal. She pointed at the proposal and told Mi Jin about her idea.
Xintao already had two sections. One was for shopping, and the other was for making friends. The two sections did not interfere with each other. There were no advertisements to disrupt each other, and there were no random messages from the software. In addition, the software had a balance management system, which made it easier to pay for things.
Now, she just needed to add another section next that would work with restaurants. After that, Xintao would hire people to specialize in distribution. The two parties would work together and try to deliver the food to the customers with the shortest possible time..
...
Chapter 343: Taking The Opportunity To Step On Si Fan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although there was food takeaway now, those were all delivered by the merchants themselves. If customers wanted to order different takeaways, they had to add the contact details of many different merchants and call them. It was very inconvenient. If there was a platform specially used for delivery, the merchants only needed to focus on cooking. It would save a lot of time.
The money for ordering takeout could be paid from the balance of Xintao Friends. The balance would also bag a profit for Xintao users. It could encourage users to try their best to deposit more money in the app's balance. Then, the money they saved would just appear as a string of numbers to customers. The real money was in Xintao's hands.
Xintao could use this money to invest in other investments, and the profits from the investment would be distributed according to the amount of savings the users had. Anyway, as long as the interest rate was slightly higher than the bank's, it could attract many customers to use Xintao to make friends and save money.
However, they needed to have connections. At the same time, Xintao would also work with various banks so that users could pay directly with their bank cards. This way, they would not drag customers to Xintao and cause the banks to suffer.
Of course, after saying all this, Yin Xun's greatest requirement for Mi Jin was not to be flashy with the design. The page had to be simple and clean. Before they went online, he needed to test it a few more times. They could delay the launch, but they could not have any problems like Blue Fox.
Mi Jin listened to Yin Xun talk about how Xintao would develop step by step. His face was filled with disbelief.
After Yin Xun told Mi Jin about the idea, she asked him, "Can you do what I said? Can you do this after Xintao is fully online? If it's too difficult, you can..."
.....
"There is no problem. It is just an additional section with an additional function. It is a little troublesome, but it is not difficult. However, President Yin, where did you get so many ideas from? Why do your ideas seem to be infinite?" Mi Jin stared at Yin Xun without blinking.
"That's a secret." Yin Xun smiled mysteriously. "However, have you done a test analysis of Blue Fox's software? They're not a small company. How could there be such a serious problem? I originally expected them to have a few issues, but I didn't expect such a huge mistake. If it's not handled well, Blue Fox's reputation will be ruined."
"I've tested it. Although there are many bugs in the software, there are ways to deal with them." Mi Jin shifted his glasses before answering Yin Xun's question.
"If I'm not mistaken, Blue Fox's application must have been rushed out. There are a lot of errors in the code, but the obvious problems shouldn't have been made by a qualified programmer. However, even though there's something wrong with their software and it seems to have blown up this time, we can't really use this opportunity to suppress them. After all, Blue Fox is a mature company and knows how to do public relations. As long as they can repair the software as soon as possible, provide some activities, and apologize, I'm sure this matter will blow over quickly."
No one wanted to kill Si Fan more than Mi Jin. Back then, he had been harmed so ruthlessly by Si Fan. Now that there was a chance to take down Si Fan, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Before this, he had thought of countless ways to step on Si Fan. However, could he take Si Fan down completely? At the most critical moment, Mi Jin had no idea.
"That's simple." Yin Xun smiled and was not worried about this problem at all. She patted Mi Jin's shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry, we've already reached this stage. We've long fallen out with Si Fan and become enemies. Regardless of whether we had any hard feelings in the past, we can't let him make a comeback now."
"Yes." Mi Jin nodded and continued to ask, "Then what should we do now?"
It was alright to let Mi Jin do technical work, but he could not be the one scheming.
Yin Xun asked him seriously, "Do you have a way to help the Blue Fox users from their bugs this time? Can you help the customers who suffered losses to recover the extra money that was deducted? This is because Blue Fox's money deduction is different from other software with typical errors. It's clear because a lot of additional costs were added when the payment is made. This mistake is not caused by the bank, so we can only blame Blue Fox. If the customers join forces to sue Blue Fox, as long as they don't have advanced technology, we might still not be able to recover the money."
"It should be possible. I've tried to solve it, but there's a problem..." Mi Jin frowned.
Yin Xun motioned for him to continue.. "What is it?"
...
Chapter 344: Yin Xun Has A Solution
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"There are too many bugs in the Blue Fox software, so I have to make a mandatory uninstallation software to completely eliminate it. This is equivalent to an antivirus. However, because of its uniqueness, once this software is downloaded, it can't be uninstalled," Mi Jin said. "However, there's no side effect. It's just that it can't be uninstalled. It's different from Blue Fox's harmful app. The only drawback is that if the phone has this software, it can never install Blue Fox in the future. The Blue Fox app will be treated as a virus interceptor."
"That's simple. I'm sure those phone manufacturers won't mind this problem. I'll discuss it with them later. At the same time, Xintao is about to go online. It just so happens that Blue Fox is going downhill while our Xintao is going online. With this comparison, our software will be more popular." Yin Xun smiled slightly. "Si Fan's impulsiveness has given us a boost."
After discussing the method to deal with the Blue Fox software with Mi Jin, the two of them separated and went to do their own things.
Mi Jin continued to develop the software, while Yin Xun could only suspend her courier experience and change into her daily clothes. She went out to discuss the collaboration with the affected phone brands.
Regarding Blue Fox's incident, not only were the users and Blue Fox anxious, but the phone manufacturers were also worried.
The reason they agreed to put Blue Fox directly on the app store without looking at the test report was that Blue Fox was a mature company. Before Xintao came out, Blue Fox had always been the dominant company on the Internet. There was no company more mature than Blue Fox, so they had always been very credible in the industry.
In addition, Blue Fox had collaborated with a foreign phone brand. In order to get close to Blue Fox, the domestic phones had especially skipped the test report and signed a contract with Blue Fox. They thought that they could get some users for their brand by doing this and they did not expect such an incident to happen. Not only did they not fail to get any customers, but even their phones were implicated.
.....
Currently, the development in the country was still relatively backward. There were not many outstanding programmers. The small phone manufacturers did not have strong technology and could not do anything about this software.
The angry users did not care if it was the fault of the phone manufacturers or Blue Fox. They rushed into the comments section and criticized them.
[What kind of trash phone is this? It can't even hold a shopping app. It gets so hot that it looks like it has a fever. As expected, you can't get good stuff at a cheap price. Compared to the Alphabet brand cell phone, this one is simply trash. I won't buy it again in the future.]
[Is this phone so trashy now? What era are we in? Not only has the technology not improved, but it even deteriorated. It can't even uninstall software. Also, what's going on with the app store? Shouldn't there be a security scanner? How can this virus software enter the app store?]
Other than giving bad reviews to the phone manufacturers, there were also those who went to Blue Fox's official website to criticize them as soon as the website was online.
[Trashy Blue Fox, return my hard-earned money! Otherwise, I'll sue you even if I have to risk my life. You're all scoundrels! You didn't even pick up the customer service. Are you planning to run away? Everyone, let's boycott Blue Fox together. We won't touch anything related to Blue Fox in the future!]
There were complaints and curses. For a moment, the comments section was extremely eventful. Now that Blue Fox had traffic, its engagement continued to rise. It might become a trending topic before night fell.
The matter had blown up. Not only were the users calling Blue Fox, but the phone manufacturers were also calling. They wanted to ask Blue Fox how to resolve this matter. Since there were too many people calling, the line became very busy.
Seeing how the matter was brewing, even the phone manufacturers scolded Blue Fox and said that they would never work together again.
While everyone was in this chaotic state, Yin Xun said that she had a solution, so the phone manufacturers were naturally very happy. Their representatives would be free whenever Yin Xun met them, and their attitude would be friendly.
On Si Fan's side, the situation was very bad.
In order to get investments, Si Fan was flirting with the rich lady who had once been interested in him. He was sleeping with someone else behind Yin Mo's back.
In his drunken stupor, he received a call from Cheng She.
"President Si, something bad has happened!"
Cheng She reported loudly once the call got through. At this moment, Si Fan was carrying a woman in his arms. When he heard Cheng She say this, he immediately snapped, "What are you panicking for? If there's anything, we'll talk later. I'm busy now."
With that, Si Fan was about to hang up. Usually, Cheng She would just accept his fate. If he could not win, he would suffer and deal with it. Anyway, it was fine as long as he could resolve it in the end.
This time, however, he could not solve the problem no matter what he tried..
...
Chapter 345: Another Major Incident
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He knew Si Fan's temper. Once Si Fan heard his report, he would definitely vent his anger on him. However, what else could he do? Other than him, no one was willing to report to Si Fan.
Si Fan was famous in the company for being hot-tempered and having a tendency of hitting people. Recently, because of Xintao's appearance, this had become even more serious. Now, the employees of the company were squeezed so dry that they wanted to resign. If this matter could not be dealt with and Si Fan forced more work on everyone, the employees would not stay any longer.
Cheng She knew that once some people left, he would be the first to suffer because he could not leave. If another employee resigned, all the work would be handed over to him. That would be hell.
Before he called Si Fan, he had tried various methods to get the programmers to work overtime to deal with the problem. However, the situation was too serious. It was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time. Now, the website was filled with people scolding Blue Fox. If he had not had the foresight to spend money in advance to suppress the social media engagement, the hot searches about Blue Fox would have long rushed to the top of list, and there would be more than one discussion thread.
However, they could only suppress it for a while, but not for two days. After such a long time, the discussion rate was already number one on the entire social media website. Even if they spent money, they could not suppress all of it. After all, the data was already there.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and report to Si Fan.
"President Si, our website has been completely lost!" Before Si Fan could hang up, Cheng She said a short sentence. He was afraid that if Si Fan really hung up, it would be difficult to get through again.
.....
As the CEO, Si Fan usually left everything to his subordinates to manage while he did a minimal amount.
At the thought of this, Cheng She was even more envious of the employees who had jumped ship to Xintao. They said that Yin Xun was especially humane as a boss. She would never squeeze her employees dry or take up their time. If they worked overtime, they would not miss out on food and transport allowance or overtime pay. On the other hand, Blue Fox had nothing but a pile of work for them.
Upon hearing Cheng She's words, Si Fan stopped in the motion of hanging up. He looked at the woman in his arms and suppressed the anger he felt. If the woman heard that something had happened to his company, it would be disastrous if she chose not to invest.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The woman asked as she lay in Si Fan's arms.
Si Fan comforted her. "It's nothing serious. It's just that the employees have some questions and need my advice. Wait for me here. I'll make a call and be back soon."
Before he left, he planted a gentle kiss on the woman's forehead. His expression was extremely gentle.
Si Fan had not hung up while he was talking, so Cheng She heard everything. Of course, he also noticed that the voice did not belong to Yin Mo.
He did not expect Si Fan to still be in the mood to cheat at a time like this. Although Si Fan was his superior, Cheng She still felt disdainful in his heart. He considered cheating to be immoral.
Although he felt this way, he did not dare to show it. When Si Fan walked to a place where no one was around and asked about the exact situation, Cheng She honestly and respectfully told him everything.
"What? You're only here to tell me about such a big matter now?!" After hearing everything, Si Fan exploded. He wanted to scold Cheng She, but he remembered that there was someone else in the room. He could not let that woman hear him lose his composure like this, so he tried his best to hold his anger in as he questioned Cheng She.
Cheng She knew that he would be scolded by Si Fan, so he explained carefully, "Didn't you say not to disturb you unless there's a particularly serious matter? You said that you had something very important to do, so when the matter first started, we tried to resolve it ourselves. If we couldn't, only then would we look for you."
After saying that, he complained internally. Cheng She actually believed that Si Fan really had something big going on, but it turned out that he was sleeping with another woman. When she thought of Yin Mo, he immediately felt a sense of pity. Everyone in Blue Fox knew that Yin Mo loved Si Fan. The two of them had been in love for so many years, and Si Fan had always acted devotedly and affectionately in front of Yin Mo. Yin Mo was a romantic and had always believed in Si Fan's character.
Yin Mo must not have expected that Si Fan had been secretly cheating on her without her knowing.
Si Fan did not accept Cheng She's explanation. He spat, "What a bunch of useless people.. All you know is to find excuses! How much time have I given you? Is it so difficult to research software? Also, what are you doing with the software? Didn't you realize that there are so many bugs? Why did you let them exist? Can't you get it right in one go?
Must 1 give you a long time to test it? Do I have to treat you like my master even when I pay you a salary?"
...
Chapter 346: Poor Assistant

Cheng She was scolded so much that he felt wronged. The technical department had already done its best. They just could not compare to Mi Jin. Mi Jin was a person who had won various awards in the past. Si Fan had not cherished his skills and, in the end, he lost such an outstanding partner. Now, his company would be inferior in this technical aspect no matter what he did.
Besides, Cheng She was not even a member of the technical department. He was just an assistant. He was in charge of notifications and reports. Whether the technical department could succeed or not was a matter of their skills. What did it have to do with him? In the end, he was the one who got scolded every time.
He also could get angry. Aside from being scolded by Si Fan for so long, he had been working overtime every day without extra pay. He had long been holding back his anger.
Although he still did not dare to vent his anger in front of Si Fan, he wanted to defend himself.
"I've reminded you before that the software has just been developed and hasn't been tested yet. Even the technical department wasn't sure what kind of bugs will appear, but you insisted on going online. Normally, our software should have been tested on various systems before it can be used. Therefore, it's reasonable for such a thing to happen..."
"Reasonable? Do you know how much this will affect Blue Fox's reputation? This time, not only will we make no profits, but we also have to dish out lots of compensation. Trash, what a bunch of trash! Before this, we could not get any investors and even lost money. What will the company do next?" At this moment, Si Fan was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Cheng She knew that he could not say anything at this time. Fortunately, he was not physically by Si Fan's side. Otherwise, he would definitely be beaten up. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
.....
After cursing for a while, Si Fan must have vented most of the anger in his heart. Then, he said to Cheng She, "I don't care what method you use. You can spend money to keep people's mouths shut, or you can go and find other technicians to help. In any case, you have to settle this matter by tomorrow, or I'll fire you!"
Cheng She wailed in his heart. Things were already like this, yet he still had to find a solution. It was precisely because he had no solutions that he came to report it.
"But, President Si, we really don't have a choice..." Cheng She weakly tried to fight for himself.
In the end, Si Fan did not give him the chance to complain. He interrupted him directly and said, "What do I support you for? To frceload? Go and find the technical department, the operations department, and the other departments for a meeting. Everyone will think of a solution together. Unless they're complete trash, this number of people will be able to think of a solution. I'm busy now. I'm discussing an investment. If you can't resolve this matter, I'll fire all of you!"
Si Fan snorted and hung up without giving Cheng She a chance to speak.
Cheng She was about to cry when he heard the disconnection sound from the phone.
Did Si Fan forget that he was only an assistant? How could he be such a miracle worker? If he knew how to do everything, he might as well open his own company and save on the cost of hiring an assistant.
Despite being the president of the company, Si Fan did not help when the company was in trouble. He even said that he was busy getting investments. He must be so busy that he went to a woman's bed.
Before looking for Si Fan, Cheng She had already tried all the methods he could think of, but none of them worked.
Now that Si Fan had asked him to solve it himself, he had no idea what to do.
Just as he was at a loss, his phone rang. He thought that Si Fan finally realized the importance of the matter and called. In the end, he took out the phone only to see that it was a call from his colleague from the technical department.
He did not need to answer to know what it was about.
At this moment, he was really frustrated, so he did not pick up and let the phone ring.
The call ended, and another call came in, one after the other. Cheng She did not pick up any of the calls, as if he was listening to music.
At this moment, he was sitting on a small park chair behind the company building. There were neatly trimmed trees around him, blocking his figure. From the outside, it was almost impossible to see that there was anyone here.
It was still during working hours, so there were not many people in the park. He did not have to worry about meeting his colleagues.
The phone rang for a long time. In the end, Cheng She felt that it was really annoying, so he turned the phone to silent mode. Then, he tossed the phone aside and began to think.
At this moment, he was not thinking about how to solve the company's problem, but how to leave while ensuring his safety.
No matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a way to deal with Si Fan. He knew that Si Fan had a team of thugs behind him. Cheng She had no status or background, so he could not afford to make an enemy of Si Fan..
...
Chapter 347:1 Want to Resign
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He thought about how Si Fan and Yin Xun were arch-enemies now, and how Xintao had accepted the people who quit Blue Fox one by one. Could he also try to go to Xin Tao?
Cheng She figured there was no doubt about Yin Xun's ability. Xintao had just started recently, but she had already forced Si Fan's hand to this extent and even saved Mi Jin. If he also asked Yin Xun for help, Yin Xun would definitely have a way to help him deal with Si Fan.
However, there was one problem. He was Si Fan's assistant. Once he left Blue Fox to go to Xintao, it would be no different from betrayal. He had to think of a perfect reason for it.
Cheng She sat alone in the park for a long time, but in the end, he still had no idea. He had no choice. Running away would not solve the problem.
He could only return to the company to face these things for now. If Si Fan knew that he was alone outside and not tending to the company's matters, he would definitely flare up at him again.
He took out his phone and saw that there were more than thirty missed calls. Most of them were from different people. Cheng She immediately felt his head hurt even more. There must be something going on for him to get so many calls. Could something have happened to Blue Fox again?
He found a random number and was about to call back when another call came in. This time, he pressed the answer button and asked weakly, "What's wrong?"
.....
"Assistant Cheng, what did President Si say? How are we going to solve this problem?" The other party was from the technical department.
Cheng She sighed and said, "President Si is very busy now. He wants us to think of a way to resolve this matter ourselves. By the way, how's the technical department doing? Have you thought of a solution?"
The other party did not answer Cheng She's question. Instead, he replied with another question. "Assistant Cheng, what do you mean by asking us to solve it? Are we going to work overtime again while President Si does nothing about it?"
"That's right, we can only trouble you guys. As long as we get through this crisis, I'm sure President Si will definitely send compensation to everyone." When Cheng She said this, he felt a little guilty because he knew that with Si Fan's petty personality, he would just consider this extra work as something everyone should do. It was already merciful enough if he did not scold anyone. There was no way he would compensate them.
"Assistant Cheng, I'm not making things difficult for you, but look, ever since Xintao came online, we've been working overtime almost every day. It's one thing that we're working ourselves half-dead, but we don't get any compensation at all and we're even scolded by CEO Si. If we really had a solution to this huge matter, do you think it would have dragged on until now?"
Hearing the other party's tone, Cheng She frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Assistant Cheng, we know that you've always been a good person. All these decisions were President Si's ideas. However, Blue Fox is too oppressive. This matter doesn't have anything to do with us. We were the ones who developed the software, so we should be responsible for the quality of the software. However, the main fault lies with President Si. We already said that the software needs to be tested. He was the one who insisted on going online directly. When something like this happened, he even asked us to resolve it ourselves."
The other party sighed and paused for a moment, as if he was feeling conflicted. Cheng She did not rush him or interrupt. He just waited quietly for him to continue.
Finally, after a moment of silence, the employee continued, "Our technology is not the best in the country, but it's not bad either. It can be considered to be one of the best. No employee can stand to be treated like this. Therefore, after some discussion, we've decided that we want to resign. If we can't resolve this matter, you should find someone else."
"Dong Zi," Cheng She addressed the man, then asked, "Are you messing with me? What do you mean, I should find someone else? This is the most critical moment for the company. If you leave, what will happen to me?"
Dong Zi said, "I'm sorry, Assistant Cheng. We don't mean to make things difficult for you. But don't worry, we won't submit the resignation immediately. It's just that I think you treated us well, so 1 wanted to tell you in advance. We submitted our resignation application today and will only quit when the replacement comes."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng She felt a little helpless.
In the past, when he was scolded, forced to work overtime, and encountered all kinds of problems, he could still persevere. However, when the people he was most familiar with here were about to leave, the walls in his heart seemed to suddenly collapse.
A sense of powerlessness and loneliness arose spontaneously. This was worse than being scolded by Si Fan.
If a familiar face was still around, there would be some psychological comfort. Everyone could still work together. However, if the people he knew were no longer around, how could he continue with his life?
The people from the technical department had submitted their resignation applications. Si Fan would probably find out soon. By then, Cheng She would probably be scolded again.
Cheng She sighed and looked at his phone. Inexplicably, he searched for Xintao's recruitment requirements..
...
Chapter 348: Resolved The Software Issue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It said that as long as one had the ability and perseverance, a company would accept you. It could be said that there were no extra requirements. Anyway, he did not know if he could give it a try.
Cheng She reorganized his thoughts and returned to the company. He planned to resolve this matter with everyone first.
After thinking about it for a day, they could not think of a solution. The technical department needed to shut down the software first before repairing it. However, Si Fan did not allow this and insisted that they repair it directly. If they did this, however, there was a high chance that other bugs would appear on the website. No one dared to take the risk.
Anyway, the technical department was going to resign soon. They were just waiting for the newbies to arrive, so they did not worry much about it. They just had to stall for time.
During this period, Si Fan made a few calls. Other than urging everyone to quickly think of a solution, he also scolded them for being useless.
Cheng She accepted the scolding in front of the other employees. Although everyone knew that Si Fan had a bad temper and loved to scold people, they did not expect him to fully push the blame on others at a time like this.
They all felt indignant for Cheng She and felt that they were lucky to have submitted their resignation applications.
.....
Dong Zi walked over and advised Cheng She, "Assistant Cheng, if there's really no other way, why don't you resign too? We're all planning to go to Xintao to apply for jobs. They said that they're short of technicians now. Since you're such a capable man, I'm sure they'll be willing to take you. There are all kinds of benefits there, while there's nothing here but overtime and being scolded."
"Actually, 1 have my reasons for staying. Forget it, you can leave if you want. I don't deny it's a good deal." Cheng She was in low spirits and did not want to talk to anyone at all.
If he could leave, he would have left long ago. However, he knew that Si Fan was capable of harming anybody. If he left, he would probably not be able to see the sun the next day.
Cheng She stayed cooped up in fear for the entire day. It was not until nighttime that he received some good news.
"Assistant Cheng, we have a solution for the software!"
Just as Cheng She was in a dilemma, he finally heard some good news.
"How?" Cheng Shi's eyes lit up and he quickly walked to that person's side.
"Uh, actually, it's not particularly good news for us, but at least the problem has been resolved. Moreover, the responsibility was not on us."
Cheng She frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense at a time like this."
"A few phone dealers worked with Xintao to develop software specifically targeting our Blue Fox. It's equivalent to an anti-virus. As long as we install that anti-virus into our phones, our Blue Fox software will automatically be uninstalled. In addition, Xintao also helped those users whose money was deducted from our software to recover their money. The money deduction was a software bug. They repaired the software and took back the deducted money."
Cheng She heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the biggest problem had been resolved. It was illegal to deduct money without reason. If the issue could not be resolved, Si Fan would get called by the police. If that were to happen, his life would be even more difficult.
However, he did not expect Blue Fox to be treated like a virus software. He did not know if Xintao did it on purpose or as a last resort.
"Does that mean our software cannot be downloaded in the future?" Cheng She asked with a frown.
"That's right. In the future, our products will no longer be on the market in those mobile app stores. It's equivalent to cutting off our cooperation with the other phone brands. Because we were the ones who caused the problem first, their actions are not considered a breach of contract. However, you don't have to worry too much. For now, it's just the famous phone brands cooperating with Xintao. As for the smaller miscellaneous brands, they still have our software. So as long as we repair the software, there's still time..."
Cheng Shi,"..."
What kind of good news was this? Was this not equivalent to forcefully removing the software?
On top of that, they would never have the chance to put it back on the app store in the future. It was better if they had taken it off the shelves and repaired it from the beginning. Then, they could put the app back on the shelves after it was fixed.
That was it. There was not even a last chance. If Si Fan heard about this, who knew what kind of tantrum he would throw?
However, the matter was urgent. Although he was afraid of being scolded, Cheng She still picked up his phone and made the call. He was prepared to report to Si Fan, but he tried his best to sugarcoat it.
"President Si, the problem with our software has been resolved!" Cheng She immediately said before Si Fan could speak.
Hearing Cheng She's words, Si Fan finally stopped cursing. Instead, he asked in a low voice, "How was it resolved? Will the software be able to be used normally in the future?"
"Uh..." Cheng She took a deep breath and told Si Fan everything in one breath. He only dared to breathe when he was done.
He was afraid that he could not finish his words if he got interrupted by Si Fan..
...
Chapter 349: Continue To Cheat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing his words, Si Fan did not lose his temper at first. Instead, he was silent for a moment before asking, "So, your solution is equivalent to taking our app off the shelves?"
The calm before the storm was often the most terrifying. Cheng She hurriedly explained, "No, President Si, there was too little time for us to solve the problem. After all, Mi Jin is overseeing Xintao. He's a genius in the computing world, so it makes sense for him to solve the problem faster than us."
"Did they do anything else?" Si Fan asked.
Cheng She thought about it. Xintao did not seem to be making a big deal out of this, so he said, "I don't think so. They just helped users and phone dealers solve this problem. They didn't promote themselves or anything else."
Si Fan sneered and said, "As expected, women are trash. They didn't seize such a good opportunity to make a profit and instead just used the chance to mock their opponent. They even foolishly helped others. Since that's the case, let the technical department take this opportunity to fix the problem asap. Then, spend money to find someone to remove all the posts related to this matter. Issue and apology, send compensation, advertise, make it popular, and then go online again."
Hearing Si Fan criticizing Yin Xun, Cheng She could not help but complain in his heart. He was still looking down on her at a time like this. Was he not forced to this state by that "trash woman"?
Most importantly, Si Fan had not contributed at all to this whole situation. How could he have the cheek to say such things? Were the employees supposed to handle all these things?
.....
However, he only dared to think about this internally. He did not have the courage to say it in front of Si Fan.
It was rare that Si Fan did not scold him this time. Cheng She should have listened to him and quietly dealt with it, but he thought of a problem. He endured the risk of being scolded and asked, "But President Si, I just said that our Blue Fox app can't be put on the app store anymore. As long as it's put on the market, it will be treated as a virus by their phone intranet."
"Is their software that opposes Blue Fox installed directly in the user's phone?" Si Fan asked.
Cheng She thought for a moment. "I don't think so. Apparently, it's in the phone dealer's main system."
Si Fan sneered and spat, "Then that's it. What an idiot. Since it's not directly in the phones, we just won't rely on the app store. As long as the advertisement is out and the popularity is in place, there will be users who will download it even on from the webpage. This isn't a desperate situation. Can't you think of something yourself?"
However, Cheng She was still a little hesitant. He deliberated and said, "But President Si, this matter has blown up too much. The users might not believe us. Actually, the other problems are fine. The most important thing is that we deducted extra money from them. This looked too much like a scam. I'm afraid they won't believe us."
"Don't you know how to turn things around?" Si Fan was getting more and more impatient. "Users are all people who like to take advantage of others. Can't you just make some coupons? You can distribute coupons according to the proportion of the user's losses. The more money the user lost from the app, the greater the coupons they will get, and vice versa."
"Of course, I'm not asking you to spend real money to make this discount. Don't we have our own shop? Let our shop display some things that are actually cheap, but won't raise suspicion even if they sell for a high price. Things like diamonds, jade, and so on. No matter how high the price is, no one will be suspicious. Raise the price and put it on the user's bill. That way, we won't lose money. In fact, we can even earn money."
Si Fan was implying that their platform would continue to cheat users of their money.
Upon hearing Si Fan's words, Cheng She wanted to say something but hesitated. Blue Fox's reputation had already deteriorated after this incident, especially after the previous coupon fiasco. However, Si Fan planned to do it a second time.
It would be fine if they were not discovered. If it was discovered, Blue Fox would probably have no chance of making a comeback.
After causing such a huge commotion, was having real coupons that big of a deal? Why did Si Fan have to continue lying?
Cheng She wanted to persuade Si Fan, but Si Fan did not give him the chance. He instructed him a few more times before hanging up.
Cheng She had no choice. Since the boss had said so, as an employee, he could only do as he was told.
While Cheng She was doing things according to Si Fan's request, Si Fan was not idle either. He finally started to make a move.
In the circle of rich second-generation heirs like him, Si Fan was the best in terms of looks and figure. After all, he was the male lead of the original novel. The author had given him the best description for his appearance.
No one in this circle was short of money. Other than young heirs who liked to play with women, there were also flirtatious women also liked to play with men..
...
Chapter 350: Only The Yin Family Can Do It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because of Si Fan's perfect looks, he had always been fawned over by these young ladies.
It was because he was too popular that Yin Mo was targeted by these young ladies in the original novel just so they could take Si Fan from her. Si Fan was also very good at making use of people. He knew that some of these people were not sincere with him, while some loved him and were willing to do anything for him.
Si Fan had always understood these people's intentions. He just pretended not to know. He had always pretended to be gentle and polite in front of these people.
This way, more girls would be loyal to him. However, he did not expect that, even though these women usually looked like they wanted to give him everything, when he really needed something from them, they would start to find all kinds of excuses to refuse.
Now that his company was in trouble, those who knew the inside story found excuses to stay away from him. As for the few who were not avoiding him, Si Fan decided to make good use of them.
Recently, he had won over Zhou Meng. Although Zhou Meng had not really invested in him yet, she had promised him that she would help him as long as he got rid of the Yin family.
One person was not enough. He still needed to pull in more investments. It was impossible to rely on cooperation alone. Everyone could see Blue Fox's current situation. There were only two outcomes to investing now. One was to lose the investment money, and the other was to help Blue Fox fill the hole. As for whether they could make the investment profitable, no one was sure.
.....
Everyone was waiting for Blue Fox to fall so that they could buy its shares and take the company for themselves.
Si Fan would not give others this chance. In order to keep Blue Fox, he would find investments even if he had to risk his life.
Hence, he set his sights on the Wang family. Wang Ran was the only child in the Wang family. He usually listened to her and doted on her.
Although the Wang family was not a rich family, they had a wide network of connections and people in the bureaucracy. Moreover, Wang Ran was also a romantic. Other than her ordinary looks and figure, she had almost no flaws.
Wang Ran had always desired him, but Si Fan despised Wang Ran's looks and pretended not to understand Wang Ran's feelings. He usually treated Wang Ran as nothing but an ordinary friend.
In the past, he was surrounded by too many women and had never considered being with Wang Ran. He did not expect that he would have to give himself to Wang Ran for the sake of Blue Fox.
Looking at Wang Ran lying in his arms, Si Fan's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
"Ranran, look, we're already together now. Then about your investment..." Si Fan hugged Wang Ran and did not move. Fortunately, Wang Ran could not see his expression now.
Wang Ran never thought that she would really get together with Si Fan. She hugged Si Fan tightly and her hands kept touching Si Fan's body. She tried her best to keep the sensation of being with Si Fan in her heart.
Hearing Si Fan's words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said coquettishly, "Fan, why did you bring up the matter of investing right after doing it with me? Could it be that you're only with me for money?"
"Of course not," Si Fan quickly explained. "I've had my eyes on you since a long time ago, but because of Yin Mo's identity, I couldn't tell you. Now, 1 finally have you."
As Si Fan spoke, he hugged Wang Ran tightly.
Wang Ran broke free from Si Fan's embrace and slowly sat up. The thin blanket slipped from her body, revealing her smooth skin.
Although she was not good-looking, her skin was divine, just like peeled egg white. It was smooth, white, and flawless. This was one of the reasons why Si Fan could tolerate her.
"What about Yin Mo? You haven't broken up with her. Are you planning to be two-timing in the future?" Wang Ran stared into Si Fan's eyes and asked.
However, Wang Ran did not seem to have any intention of letting Si Fan answer this question. She smiled lightly and then leaned back into Si Fan's body again. She leaned close to Si Fan's ear and said, "Why don't we make a deal? It just so happens that the Wang family has a project that needs to collaborate with a construction company. The Yin family can be considered to be in the front seat in the construction industry. Why don't you help me with this and pull some strings for the two families?"
After saying that, she took the opportunity to gently blow a breath beside Si Fan's ear.
Si Fan held Wang Ran with one hand. He did not expect Wang Ran to be so good at seducing people despite her ordinary appearance.
However, now that the two of them were discussing serious matters, Si Fan would not let his sexual desires get the better of him.
He stopped Wang Ran's actions. His deep voice was a little hoarse as he asked, "Since it's a collaboration issue, wouldn't it be better for you guys to discuss it with the Yin family directly? Why do you still need my help? Moreover, I'm sure you know about my relationship with the Yin family now."
Wang Ran smiled and said, "There are some small problems with this project. Only the Yin family can take over.. Besides, who doesn't know about Yin Mo's feelings for you?"
....
Chapter 351: Let Yin Mo Handle It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Is there a problem?" Si Fan frowned slightly. "No wonder you haven't looked for other construction companies. The Yin family isn't stupid. If there's a problem, they won't cooperate with you. Even if Yin Mo goes to talk to them, with her current status in the Yin family, she won't be able to move them."
Si Fan's words were not an evasion. Right now, the entire Yin family was on guard against Yin Mo. They all knew that as long as Si Fan said a word, she would do anything. In addition, she had made so many mistakes in the past, so they would not let her anywhere close to business dealings.
Wang Ran was in the same circle as them. They were usually together, so she knew all about Yin Mo.
Hearing Si Fan's words, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Since we're friends, we know about Yin Mo's matter. Of course, we don't need her to persuade her father. Instead, we just need to use her as a middleman to cause some trouble for the Yin family and make a distraction.
"Then, we'll use this opportunity to steal the blueprints. 1 heard that the Yin family has recently collaborated with a five-star hotel. This blueprint must be very important, so we'll use it to threaten them. If they don't cooperate with us, then we'll sell the blueprints to other construction companies. 1 believe that the competitors of that hotel will want this very much."
Si Fan did not expect Wang Ran to come up with such an idea. This seemed to be different from the Wang Ran he knew. In his impression, Wang Ran had always been gentle, considerate, and understanding.
Seeing Wang Ran's scheming look, his face darkened again.
.....
"This kind of thing is illegal. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Si Fan lowered his eyes and asked Wang Ran.
Wang Ran lay on Si Fan's body and said with a smile, "That's why 1 need Yin Mo's help. Don't worry, I'll give you a way to guarantee that you won't be implicated. This is a win-win situation for us. How about it? This deal is pretty decent, right?"
"Deal." Si Fan finally smiled.
Si Fan and Wang Ran spent another day together. They only separated at night.
When he returned home, Yin Mo was lying on the bed fiddling with her phone.
Seeing that Si Fan had returned, she immediately smiled and stood up to welcome him. She walked to Si Fan and tried to hug him.
Si Fan looked at Yin Mo. Although her face was beautiful, much more beautiful than Wang Ran's, he still felt a little tired of looking at her every day. At this moment, he still wanted Wang Ran to be by his side.
He touched his lips. There seemed to be a lingering taste and warmth on them.
"Fan, what took you so long? I haven't been able to contact you lately," Yin Mo said, feeling aggrieved.
Hearing Yin Mo's words, a sense of annoyance rose in Si Fan's heart. Other than circling around him every day, Yin Mo did nothing to help at all. If not for the fact that she was a member of the Yin family, Si Fan really wanted to kick her away at this moment.
However, when he thought of the conditions he had set with Wang Ran, he took a deep breath and flashed a smile. Then, he hugged Yin Mo and pretended to be intimate. "I'm sorry, Mo'er. Recently, the company has encountered too many problems. I really can't leave. I didn't mean to be cold to you. It's all your sister's fault. She went against me in everyway. Today, she almost forced Blue Fox into a corner. Fortunately, I managed to resolve it."
At this point, Si Fan's expression suddenly turned ugly. Even though he tried his best to maintain his smile, he could not smile when he thought of Yin Xun.
Yin Mo frowned and asked, "Fan, did my sister make you angry again? What did she do?"
Si Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Blue Fox has just gone online with its app. We just had a small problem. Your sister actually spent money to hire a ghostwriter to make a big fuss about it. She said that Blue Fox is a scammer company and even labeled me as a scammer. This caused the mobile app stores to say that they would never work with Blue Fox again. It's not easy for me to begin with. Now that she's targeting me like this, it'll be even harder for me to proceed in the future."
Yin Mo never doubted Si Fan's words.
Her heart ached as she hugged Si Fan and comforted him. "I'm sorry, Fan. It's all my fault for not persuading Sister well. But don't worry, I'll definitely help you tell Sister not to target you anymore."
Si Fan held Yin Mo tightly in his arms. Now that Yin Mo could not see his expression, he instantly showed a vicious look.
A cold smile appeared on his lips, but his tone was extremely gentle..

When Yin Mo heard that Si Fan was asking her to leave, she immediately panicked. "No, Fan, whether you have money or not, I'll follow you. I've decided on you. No one can separate us. You're so good to me. How can 1 leave when you're at your lowest? 1'11 do whatever you need me to do. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely help you!"
This was what Si Fan had been waiting for. Si Fan sighed and said, "Your sister has placed all her focus on me now. If you want me to make a comeback, you have to divert her attention first. Mo'er, are you willing to help me?"

"Alright." Si Fan finally smiled. He leaned over and whispered into Yin Mo's ear, "I heard that Donggang Modern City has been a little chaotic recently. Why don't you help me there..."
At this moment, it was getting dark outside. It was probably about to rain, and it was nighttime, so it was exceptionally dark.

.....
Yin Xun had just returned from the company. Because of the software problem, she had gone to several companies to discuss a collaboration. She had been busy for the entire day and was so tired that she did not even want to eat. She planned to go back and wash up and sleep.
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the residential district, it started to rain.

Yin Xun's originally muddled mind became clear. She opened the window slowly, planning to experience the peaceful and refreshing moment for a while longer.
After driving for a while, she suddenly saw the butler walking in the rain alone. He did not even take an umbrella with him and was drenched in the rain.

The butler looked at his wet clothes and was a little embarrassed as he said, "Thank you, Miss Yin, but there is no need. Look, I'm already wet, and I am even carrying things. What if I dirty your car? Anyway, we are about to reach home. It is fine."
Seeing that the butler had no intention of getting into the car, Yin Xun drove slowly beside the butler and said, "Uncle Butler, there's still some distance from the villa. You're pretty old, so you have to be careful not to catch a cold from the rain. Besides, aren't cars used to make it convenient for people? If it gets wet, I can just wait for it to dry. Come in quickly. We can go back together."
ehT Iteubr pdpotse ni his rktcas dna detnaw to ays niehgsto,m but iYn Xun had aldreay donpee het car dro.o
"But the groceries 1 bought today aren't very good..." The butler still wanted to refuse, but Yin Xun did not give him the chance. She got out of the car and pushed the butler into the car.
"What does getting in the car have to do with food?" Yin Xun thought that the butler was just embarrassed to trouble her.

To put it another way, this was the responsibility of a butler.
There were many rules. Yin Xun did not care about them, however. Those who treated her well were all friends.

Hence, she chose to ignore the butler's words.

She held the nausea in. Unexpectedly, the butler could not hold it in and retched before her.
Yin Xun turned around in confusion and saw the butler smiling sheepishly..

Chapter 353: Go Shopping Together

He explained, "Miss Yin, you...didn't let me finish my sentence before pushing me into the car. I bought a can of herring. I opened it a little to check. Once this thing is opened, there is no way to seal it back, so...why don't I just go down?"
Only then did Yin Xun realize that the butler was not just being polite. There was really a problem with the groceries he bought.
The butler explained as he retched. Yin Xun helplessly looked at the bag in the butler's hand and tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit.
"It's alright. It's just a little stench. It's nothing. I'll just air the car out when we get back." She had already let the butler come in, so how could she let him go down again?
However, Yin Xun was puzzled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of buying canned herring?"
She had only heard of this food before, but she had never experienced it herself. She did not expect it to be even more pungent than durian.
At the very least, durians still had a hint of sweetness and fragrance in the stench, but this one only had the stench of something rotting.
.....
The butler replied, "I've been researching a new recipe recently, so 1 bought some new ingredients to try."
Yin Xun gave the butler a thumbs up in the rearview mirror. How amazing. Fang Yao had so many high-grade ingredients at home that the butler did not use. He instead wanted to use this smelly thing to cook.
With the two of them non-stop retching, they finally arrived at Fang Yao's house.
"Miss Yin, why don't you eat at our place tonight? You can try my new dish. It can also be considered as thanking you for giving me a ride. What do you think?" The butler invited Yin Xun warmly.
"There's no need. I'll go back and eat. Hurry up and go in. It won't be good if you get sick." After Yin Xun said that, she left directly.
The butler stood at the door and watched Yin Xun leave with a hint of unwillingness on his face.
A moment later, Fang Yao took an umbrella and walked to the butler's side. "I didn't expect you to really head out."
The butler sighed and said, "All, I pity my old bones. I thought that I could use the ruse of self-pity to trick Miss Yin Xun to come over for a meal. I did not expect that she would still refuse. Young Master, do you really not worry about that contract?"
"Don't worry about it," Fang Yao said lightly.
With Fang Yao's assurance, the butler was relieved. He patted his chest and said, "Young Master, don't worry. This is the first time a girl has caught your fancy in so many years. That girl is outstanding. I'll definitely help you."
"You don't have to worry about this. You should hurry back and change and take a shower. Otherwise, you'll really fall sick," Fang Yao said concernedly.
The butler smiled and raised his arm to let Fang Yao touch it. "This shirt is waterproof."
Fang Yao,"..."
Why had he never realized before that the butler was so childish?
Yin Xun drove back home. Although the butler had already gone down with his groceries and she had even opened the car window, the smell still did not dissipate. It was as if there was something rotten in front of her nose, making her want to cry.
She quickly drove the car to the garage, and then she ran away.
When she went into her house, she was surprised that Liu Ying did not come to cook today. It was fine if she did not come, but she should have at least told her.
Yin Xun looked at her phone and was relieved to see that there were no missed calls.
After taking a shower and doing some skincare, she thought about not eating dinner. However, after preparing for bed, her stomach suddenly growled. She had no choice but to make something to eat.
Yin Xun opened the fridge and looked at the ingredients inside. Thinking of her miserable culinary skills, she immediately gave up on cooking. She casually picked up a box of instant noodles and planned to eat that.
After boiling the water, she sat at the side and waited for the noodles to cook. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.
Puzzled, Yin Xun answered the call.
"Sister-in-law, it's me!" Qu Lin's happy voice came from the phone.
"Qu Lin?"
"That's me. You didn't expect me, right?" Qu Lin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you free tomorrow? How about we go shopping together?"
Hearing Qu Lin call her "sister-in-law", Yin Xun immediately understood what was going on. Qu Lin must have deliberately called her that in order to challenge Qu Lu.
However, nothing happened between her and Fang Yao. Thinking of the contract, Yin Xun quickly said, "I'm not your sister-in-law. Don't call me that."
If Lin Chan found out about this, Yin Xun would have to pay her!
...
Chapter 354: Another Injustice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Qu Lin did not know what was going on. She only knew that Fang Yao did not really like Qu Lu, but he treated Yin Xun differently. Furthermore, Qu Lu regarded Yin Xun as her love rival. Naturally, she thought that Yin Xun would marry Fang Yao in the future.
"Ah, what's there to be embarrassed about? The two of you like each other. It's not something that some people who only flatter themselves can interfere with." Qu Lin said indifferently.
Yin Xun wanted to refuse, but on second thought, she thought this a good opportunity to reel in Qu Lin. As long as Qu Lin let down her guard, Yin Xun could pull her in to invest.
Fortunately, the matter with Xintao had basically been resolved. She originally wanted to continue delivering packages tomorrow, but if Qu Lin came over, she would spend a day to play with her and improve their relationship.
Another sugar parent had appeared. Yin Xun thought that she had to seize the opportunity.
"Sister-in-law?" Qu Lin saw that Yin Xun did not speak for a long time and called out in confusion.
"I'm here... Ah, no, don't call me sister-in-law. It makes me sound old. Just call me by my name. I happen to have some time tomorrow. Do you want to go shopping? I'll accompany you." Yin Xun knew that with Qu Lin's temperament, she would not listen to anything unless the reason was convincing enough.
.....
As expected, Qu Lin changed tack quickly. "Alright, I'll call you Yin Xun. In that case, it's settled. Wait for me at home tomorrow. I'll go look for you."
"You know where I live?" Yin Xun was stunned.
Qu Lin smiled. "Aren't you staying with Brother? How could you not know? Besides, I know everything that Qu Lu knows."
These words had a deeper meaning. After hanging up, Yin Xun could feel it in her heart.
She had a feeling that the relationship between Qu Lin and Qu Lu was very unique. They were not like ordinary sisters who had simple conflicts. It was as if they were enemies who had a deep hatred for each other.
The rain became heavier and heavier, finally turning into a downpour.
This kind of setting seemed to be very suitable for doing some secret things without being discovered. The rain seemed to want to swallow everything. Without knowing if anything happened in the darkness, the night passed just like that.
The next morning, Yin Xun was woken up by the urgent ringing of the doorbell. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the time. It was only six o'clock. Usually, she slept until eight o'clock.
Yin Xun was still half-asleep and felt inexplicably frustrated. She sat on the bed and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. Listening to the deafening doorbell downstairs, it seemed like whoever it was would not stop until she went out.
She had no choice but to force herself to wake up. Then, she went downstairs to open the door in a daze.
Although there were bodyguards at home, they usually did nothing except protect her. Something like opening the door was out of the question. Of course, in Shu Yi's words, professional bodyguards tried their best not to show themselves in front of others, or it would be detrimental to their protection.
Yin Xun glanced at the doorbell. It was Qu Lin.
She did not expect Qu Lin to be so energetic and come so early.
Yin Xun took a deep breath and tried her best to adjust her expression. Then, she smiled appropriately before opening the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a cool breeze blew in. Yin Xun was wearing silk pajamas and shivered from the wind. Although it was summer, it had rained all night, so the morning was very cool.
"Hello, Yin Xun. Good morning!" As soon as the door opened, Qu Lin pounced on Yin Xun and gave her a big hug.
Qu Lin was so enthusiastic that Yin Xun was shocked. Fortunately, she quickly let go and walked inside. Qu Lin began to look around the living room.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" Qu Lin asked.
Yin Xun nodded. "Sure, but I just woke up and haven't cleaned up the house yet."
In any case, there was nothing in the house. No matter how chaotic it was, it could not be too bad. Yin Xun was not worried about this.
Qu Lin only took a few glances and finally came to a conclusion. "You're the boss of Xintao and the eldest daughter of the Yin family. Don't you feel uncomfortable living in such a small villa?"
Yin Xun had always thought that her house was very big, so she was surprised to see it appraised lowly by Qu Lin.
She shook her head helplessly. "The house is just a place to live. It doesn't matter how big or small it is. As long as it's comfortable."
"Good point." Qu Lin nodded and said, "I've heard about Xintao recently. It's amazing that you defeated Blue Fox, which has been developing for so many years. Xintao is now a popular app. Unfortunately, not every phone can download it. When my sisters heard that my sister-in-law is the founder of Xintao, they were very interested in you.."
...
Chapter 355: Fang Yao Doesn't Like Them
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With Qu Lin's personality, it was obvious that she had been pampered since she was young. When she came to Yin Xun's house, she showed no reservation at all. She sat down like the owner of the place and took a strawberry on the table to munch on.
She was actually interested in Xintao. Yin Xun's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Qu Lin expectantly and asked, "Then do you know that Xintao is currently looking for investors?"
"I didn't. What's wrong?" Qu Lin looked at Yin Xun and said, "You're not thinking of making me invest, are you?"
Yin Xun nodded.
Qu Lin shook her head and said, "1 don't have a say in this. You have to discuss it with my father. My father has been paying attention to this matter. In fact, he's more inclined to Blue Fox now because Si Fan can't hang on for much longer. He hopes to directly buy Blue Fox over. Although Blue Fox has been going downhill because of Xintao recently, from a long-term perspective, buying Blue Fox is more lucrative than investing in Xintao."
When it came to business, Qu Lin immediately became serious.
After explaining her reasons, Qu Lin must have realized that she was being too serious. A smile immediately appeared on her lips as she looked at Yin Xun and said, "You agreed to shop with me. Don't tell me you only want investments from me? If I don't invest, will you chase me out of the house?"
.....
Qu Lin's rejection was very blunt. Yin Xun liked this kind of directness.
"Of course not." Yin Xun thought to herself that investment had to be done step by step. She could not rush it. If she could pull Fang Yao over, she did not believe she could not do the same for his "sister".
Yin Xun tidied up and left in Qu Lin's car.
When they passed by Fang Yao's house, Qu Lin patted Yin Xun and asked, "Don't you have to inform Brother?"
As he spoke, Yin Xun turned around and saw Fang Yao watering the flowers in the courtyard.
Yin Xun was speechless. No wonder she felt that Fang Yao's flowers died especially quickly. She had already chosen low-maintenance flowers for Fang Yao. They were the easiest to raise.
Now she knew the reason. It turned out that he had watered the flowers to death.
Qu Lin had apparently instructed the driver to stop the car when they arrived at Fang Yao's house. Before Yin Xun and Qu Lin could say anything, the driver had already stopped the car.
Qu Lin said teasingly, "Hurry up and say hello to Brother."
Fang Yao heard movement at the door. He held the watering can in his hand and looked up.
"Maybe you don't have to water the flowers for the time being?" Yin Xun rolled down the window and pointed at the sky. "Didn't it rain last night?"
Fang Yao nodded. "1 see. 1 won't water it then."
He spotted Qu Lin sitting beside Yin Xun. He narrowed his eyes and called out indifferently, "Qu Lin."
"Hey, Brother Fang Yao, I'm here to see Sister-in-law. She said that she has nothing to wear, so I'll accompany her to buy clothes!" Qu Lin greeted Fang Yao with a smile and sold Yin Xun out.
Yin Xun,"?"
'When did 1 ever say that?'
Fang Yao immediately saw through Qu Lin's true motive for coming. Originally, he wanted to give Qu Lin a warning, but when he heard Qu Lin call Yin Xun "Sister-in-law" and how Yin Xun did not object, he was instantly delighted.
"Be mindful of your limits," Fang Yao said in the end.
Qu Lin smiled and said, "Okay!"
Yin Xun was confused by their exchange of words. What did they mean?
She thought that Qu Lin and Fang Yao would say a few more words, but to her surprise, the car simply drove away.
What did the two of them mean just now? What did they mean by being mindful? However, although she was curious, this was a matter between Fang Yao and Qu Lin, so she did not ask.
"That's strange. In the past, Brother was never interested in these things. He wouldn't even touch them. Why has he become like Grandpa now and even started to raise flowers himself?"
Yin Xun heard Qu Lin muttering to herself.
"What did you say? What is your brother not interested in?" Yin Xun asked curiously.
Qu Lin looked at her and said, "Flowers and plants. My brother never raised these things in the past. He didn't know how to raise them and never even liked them. In the past, someone once gave him a pot of cactus. 1 don't know what he did, but it died in a few days."
Fang Yao did not like plants? Yin Xun thought back to when she asked him what gift he wanted. He clearly said that it was flowers. If he did not like them, why did he ask her for flowers?
Moreover, after she gave him so many green plants, he said that they were very good and looked very happy each time.
Just as she was starting to feel puzzled, she heard Qu Lin continue, "Just now, when 1 went to Brother's house, I found that there were many green plants in all his rooms, just like a botanical garden. I wanted to touch them, but he stopped me. He clearly didn't like these things in the past, but now he treats them like his treasures. It's not like him at all.."
...
Chapter 356: Weird Gifts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yin Xun did not explain that he was the one who gave it to Fang Yao. Instead, she asked Qu Lin, "Then what does he like?"
If Fang Yao really did not like plants and she gave him so many, would that not mean she was going about the wrong way to please him? No... Since Qu Lin knew about Fang Yao, she had to ask her everything she knew. This way, she would know what to do in the future.
Qu Lin shook her head. "1 don't know. Brother and I grew up together. But I've never seen what he likes to do..." Qu Lin frowned. After thinking about it, she still could not figure it out, so she said to Yin Xun, "Forget it. He likes you so much. 1 think he will like anything you give him."
Seeing that Qu Lin had misunderstood her relationship with Fang Yao, Yin Xun felt that it was necessary to clarify this matter. After all, when she thought of the contract... It would be fine if there were no restrictions, but with that contract, there was real money involved. She could not let so much money go down the drain over such a small matter.
"I have nothing to do with Fang Yao. We're just friends," Yin Xun explained again.
However, Qu Lin did not intend to listen to her explanation and completely ignored it. She went to Yin Xun's side and asked, "Yin Xun, did you and Brother give each other gifts before?"
"Gifts?" Yin Xun thought for a moment. That was too much. She nodded and said, "Yes, quite a few."
.....
Hearing Yin Xun's words, Qu Lin's eyes immediately lit up. As long as she gave him gifts, it meant that there was a chance. She quickly asked, "Then what did you give him? Can you tell me? Of course, if this is a secret between the two of you, then you don't have to say."
She thought their gifts must be very romantic.
After all, the two of them had a good impression of each other and were neighbors who saw each other every day. Qu Lin held her cheeks with both hands and fell into a beautiful and romantic fantasy.
Yin Xun did not know what was going on in the girl's mind. Seeing that she had suddenly become starry-eyed and looked intoxicated, she could not help but feel puzzled. She did not know what was wrong with Qu Lin.
"1 gave him a lot of stuff. It's in the house and in the courtyard." Yin Xun said calmly.
"Wow, 1 knew that the two of you would give a lot of gifts. In the courtyard... What?" Qu Lin finally reacted. She looked at Yin Xun and asked, "What's in the courtyard?"
When she thought about how there was nothing else in Fang Yao's courtyard except for the flowers and plants, a bad feeling rose in her heart.
Yin Xun said calmly, "Green plants. 1 gave him those plants and the birds in the house." "...Then what did he give you?" Qu Lin suppressed the surprise in her heart. She thought that a girl could give a boy anything and get away with it, but Fang Yao's gift to Yin Xun must be very valuable. Even if it was not particularly romantic, it must be at least valuable.
"A tortoise," Yin Xun said honestly.
The little turtle started to look quite cute after she saw it for a long time. Moreover, as long as she cleaned the pool diligently and remembered to feed it, it was not difficult at all to maintain. When she had nothing to do, she could even turn it over to watch it spin. Now, she was quite fond of this little turtle.
She even wanted to buy a companion for the turtle when it grew up. Otherwise, it would be too lonely.
However, Qu Lin could not understand what she was thinking at this moment. She stared at Yin Xun in disbelief and said, "So, one of you is crazy enough to gift plants and birds, and the other gave a tortoise as a gift? Are turtles symbols of love for you?"
"It's not a love token. It's just an ordinary gift," Yin Xun quickly explained.
"No way, no way. How long will it take for the two of you to get together? I have to help you. 1 can't let Qu Lu get away with this. Otherwise, I'll be finished..." Qu Lin muttered to herself softly. Yin Xun did not hear what she said clearly. She could only vaguely catch a few words. It seemed that Qu Lu's name was also mentioned.
However, she understood what Qu Lin meant. She wanted to matchmake her with Fang Yao, even if Qu Lu was the Fang family's acknowledged fiancee.
Qu Lu and Qu Lin seemed to have some conflicting interests with the Fang family's fiancee. Otherwise, Yin Xun could not figure out why the two of them would also get Fang Yao involved.
Judging from Fang Yao's reaction to Qu Lu, Yin Xun was certain that Fang Yao did not like Qu Lu.
As for Qu Lin, she seemed to be very familiar with Fang Yao, but from Fang Yao's expression just now, he did not seem to be that close to Qu Lin either.
Yin Xun was finally dragged into the battle between the two sisters. She had to figure this out so that she could extract herself from the inexplicable battle..
...
Chapter 357: Something Bad Has Happened
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She recalled Qu Lin's reaction when she first met her. At that time, Qu Lin only treated her as her savior and was not this enthusiastic. She only became more enthusiastic after knowing that Yin Xun knew Fang Yao.
There was something wrong. There had to be something wrong.
Although she was puzzled, Yin Xun knew that it was useless even if she asked. Qu Lin would not spill the beans, so Yin Xun could only slowly investigate.
Both of them went shopping with their own thoughts.
When they arrived at the mall, Qu Lin said to Yin Xun, "You two are so slow-witted. Looks like I have to help you."
Without giving Yin Xun a chance to refuse, Qu Lin pulled her to the jewelry store.
As expected of the daughter of a rich family, she asked for the most expensive watch. The shop assistant showed them a watch that was a limited edition; it cost eight hundred thousand yuan.
.....
Although it was easy for Yin Xun to fork out this money, she felt that there was no need to buy such an expensive watch.
On top of that, this watch was probably just an ordinary thing to Fang Yao. She had seen the watch Fang Yao wore. That brand was designed by a top foreign designer. There was only one of its kind in the world, and it was much more valuable than this watch.
Even if she gave this watch to Fang Yao, he would not wear it. It was better to give him something practical.
However, Qu Lin seemed to be determined to make her buy this watch. She kept looking at her, indicating for her to say something.
Yin Xun did not want to appear too stingy in front of Qu Lin, but she did not want to waste money. She had just left the house today and would be buying such an expensive item. No matter how she thought about it, her heart ached.
"This won t do. Let's..." Yin Xun deliberated over her words and wanted to refuse. However, before she could finish, a phone call saved her.
She quickly took out her phone and signaled to Qu Lin that she was taking a call. Then, she walked out of the shop before answering.
It was from Yu Tu.
"President Yin, something bad has happened in Donggang City!" Yin Xun had just pressed the answer button when she heard Yu Tu's flustered voice.
Yin Xun's pupils suddenly dilated. She had been busy with Xintao recently and had not gone to Donggang City to take a look. She had always thought that things would be fine once they were on the right track and that she would not need to worry.
After hearing from Yu Tu, Yin Xun walked back into the store and apologized to Qu Lin. 'Tin sorry, Qu Lin. I can't continue shopping with you today. Something happened at the company, so I have to go back and settle it."
"Something happened at the company?" Qu Lin instantly became serious. "Is it serious? Can I go with you? If getting there is troublesome, I'll get the driver to send you there first. Business is more important. Don't delay it."
Yin Xun nodded. "That would be great. If you want to go, you can come with me. Someone came to our construction site and injured a few workers."
"Do we need to call the police?" Qu Lin asked.
Yin Xun shook her head. "Let's go over and take a look first."
The two of them quickly got into the car and began to rush to Donggang Modern City.
Yu Tu said that earlier this morning, the construction site had been normal. Everyone was working hard as usual. Sometime in the morning, more than ten people suddenly arrived, holding iron rods in their hands and brandishing them They said that they were the bosses of the area and had run out of money recently. They demanded money since such a big construction site must be very rich. They said they would not cause trouble as long as they were paid, and that everything would be fine. They promised to leave immediately.
Even so, who would give them the money? That was their hard-earned money. They needed the money to support their families.
Yu Tu did not have the right to get the company involved, so he tried to get someone to chase those hooligans out.
At first, everyone thought those hooligans were just bluffing and came to scare people. After all, this was a lawful society. Whoever dared to attack others would definitely go to jail. However, they did not expect those hooligans to actually dare to attack. Although they did not kill them or injure any employees, they kept causing trouble, causing the workers to be unable to continue working.
Yu Tu originally wanted to call the police, but the hooligans said in advance that they had a backer. If they dared to call the police, they would be able to deal with Yin Xun as well.
The fact that they knew the boss was Yin Xun and had even revealed some of Yin Xun's private matters, it was clear that their position was not ordinary. After all, common thugs would not be able to come into contact with someone of Yin Xun's level.
He had no choice. Yu Tu did not dare to make a decision, so he could only seek help from Yin Xun.
Those thugs told them not to call the police, but they allowed him to call Yin Xun.
It was such a blatant threat. It seemed like there was someone backing them up. Could it be Si Fan?
Yin Xun quickly rejected the idea. It could not be Si Fan. No matter how despicable he was, he would not use such a flashy method to take revenge.
Si Fan was vicious and would definitely use more underhanded methods..
...
Chapter 358: You're Quite Skilled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Yin Xun and Qu Lin rushed to the construction site of Donggang City, they saw the thugs who were confronting the workers. They each held an iron rod and stood there arrogantly with a hand on their hips.
They saw Yin Xun coming over and turned around.
The leader clicked his tongue and sized up Yin Xun and Qu Lin. He spat on the ground and asked, "Which one of you is Yin Xun?"
Yin Xun looked at him and said indifferently, "1 am. Why are you looking for me?"
"1 didn't expect you to come alone. You didn't find any help. 1 thought you would find more people." The thug looked behind Yin Xun. Seeing that no one else was following her, he was instantly amused.
Initially, he was still cautious. What if Yin Xun brought people over? Now that he saw Yin Xun coming alone, there was no need to be afraid.
When Qu Lin heard the thug's words, she said coldly, "What? Am 1 not human? Are you blind? You can't even see an adult like me."
.....
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Only cicadas could be heard chirping.
After a long time, the thug finally reacted. He pointed at Qu Lin and asked angrily, "Who are you? How dare you be rude to me!"
Yin Xun held her phone tightly in her hand. Before she came, she had already informed the bodyguards to come over. According to the route they took, they would probably arrive soon.
However, she could not anger the thugs now. She had to fight with wits, not just brute force.
"Qu Lin, don't say anything." Yin Xun reached out and pressed Qu Lin down, signaling her to be quiet. At the same time, she gave Yu Tu a look.
Yu Tu immediately understood what Yin Xun meant. He took advantage of everyone's attention on Qu Lin and quietly returned to the office.
No one noticed that Yu Tu had disappeared. Everyone looked at Qu Lin in surprise.
Even a fool could tell what was going on. These thugs were here to cause trouble, and they were armed and dared to use violence.
Even the workers who were used to rough work did not dare to provoke them. Qu Lin, a young lady, actually dared to scold that leader directly.
Facing the thug's exasperated gaze, Yin Xun shielded Qu Lin behind her.
"If you provoke him again, 1 won't be able to protect you. I'm not a hero from a television drama. 1 don't know how to fight," Yin Xun warned Qu Lin in a low voice.
In the end, Qu Lin only smiled at her. Then, she walked in front of Yin Xun and continued to curse the thug. "You have hands and feet, but you don't know how to work. Why? Are you here to beg for money? But you have soiled my eyes with your ugliness. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't give you money."
Yin Xun sighed in her heart. Then, she walked up to Qu Lin and said to the thug, "Did you come here just to ask for money? Who asked you to come? I don't think this is a sudden impulse."
The leader of the thugs snorted coldly and said, "What does it have to do with you? Anyway, just tell me if you plan to pay or not. If you don't, don't even think about stopping us in the future!"
"What if we don't pay?" Yin Xun asked.
"Then you can wait to be beaten up." The leader of the thugs swung the stick in his hand and threatened Yin Xun.
Yin Xun smiled and said, "In other words, you're here to rob people. If we don't give it to you, you'll beat us up, is that right?"
"That's right."
Yin Xun took out her phone and took a look. When the thug saw her actions, he thought that she was going to call the police. He immediately rushed over and tried to snatch the phone. At the same time, he threatened, "If you dare to call the police, 1'11 kill you!"
As the thug pounced over, Yin Xun reacted quickly and dodged his stick. Then, she raised her leg and kicked the hooligan's back, knocking him down.
Qu Lin was about to help, but she did not expect Yin Xun to not only avoid getting hit but also kick the hooligan down. She immediately gave her a thumbs-up and said, "You're quite skilled."
Yin Xun said humbly, "Recently, my training has been very effective."
The hooligan did not expect Yin Xun to dodge the attack and even counter with a kick. He was caught off guard and fell face-first to the ground.
This was a construction site. The ground was covered in sand, cement, and stones. His face kissed all of these things intimately. When he looked up, Yin Xun saw that his face was already bruised and bleeding. It was a shocking sight.
"What are you all looking at? Let's do this!" After he regained his composure, he shouted at the other thugs. Then, he gritted his teeth and got to his feet. He spat at Yin Xun, "How dare you hit me? I'll kill you!"
After saying that, he rushed toward Yin Xun again..

Chapter 359: Last Chance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yin Xun and Qu Lin looked at each other and quickly dodged the attack.
"I'll give you one last chance. Are you leaving or not?" Yin Xun asked the thug in a deep voice.
The gangster leader spat, "You beat me up and you still want us to leave? 1 didn't want to hit you at first. I just wanted to scare you. Now, even if you give me money, I have to beat you up!"
"Brothers, they want to beat up President Yin. We are men. President Yin is so good to us. We can't just watch her get beaten up. Everyone, let's go together. 1 don't believe that we can't fight off these people!" Suddenly, there was a shout from the crowd. As the voice fell, the group of workers suddenly went into an uproar.
Although they did not have weapons, they had tools—shovels, pitchforks, and whatever else they had. They shouted as they walked toward Yin Xun.
Their original intention was not to fight, but only to protect Yin Xun. Therefore, after walking to Yin Xun's side, they all stood still and stared at the other group. As long as the thugs did not attack, they would not attack either.
Everyone was afraid that they would be injured. They still had a family to support, so they would not fight unless they had no choice.
.....
The thugs looked at the workers and were a little surprised. Before Yin Xun came, they had caused some trouble, but these workers did not say a word and had no intention of fighting back. Therefore, they thought that the workers here were all timid and afraid.
Unexpectedly, the workers were eyeing them fiercely now. Looking at all the tall and strong workers, the thugs began to feel a little afraid.
These workers did rough work. Although they did not know how to fight, they were physically strong. They could probably slap ordinary people into a daze with one hit.
The leader of the thugs pondered the situation with his face covered in blood. It was not appropriate to fight now. They did not have many people—only a dozen or so. Meanwhile, the other party had dozens of workers.
Their only advantage was that they knew how to fight and had weapons. Moreover, he thought about how he had been injured by a woman. If word got out, he would not be able to survive in the future. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to stay and fight.
"Come on, let's fight. We've been in prison for a long time, so we're not afraid of fighting. You guys, however, have to support your family. All of you are so poor that you can't even afford to eat, yet you still want to fight. If everyone here goes to prison, let's see how you can support your family!" The leader of the thugs was not completely brainless. Me knew what these workers were most afraid of and threatened them.
The workers looked at each other and saw the concern in each other's eyes. They also knew the consequences of fighting, especially a gang fight, which was even more serious.
However, although everyone had their reservations, they still shielded Yin Xun behind them and had no intention of moving aside.
Yin Xun looked at everyone protecting her behind them, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Qu Lin stretched out her elbow and nudged her. "Yin Xun, your employees are really good to you."
"Everyone has a good relationship here," Yin Xun replied indifferently.
However, she did not intend to let these workers fight.
She ignored the workers' persuasion and walked to the front, only two to three meters away from the thugs.
"I've given you a chance. Since you're not leaving, stay here." As Yin Xun finished speaking, two black cars suddenly rushed over and stopped at the gate. Then, under everyone's gaze, two groups of burly bodyguards walked down.
The bodyguards looked like the ones seen on television. All of them were dressed in black and wore sunglasses, striking a rather imposing look.
The moment they got out of the car, they walked toward Yin Xun. The two people in the lead were talking about Tan Ai and Shu Yi.
"President Yin." Tan Ai and Shu Yi greeted Yin Xun. "We brought them over. What do you think we should do?"
"There are no surveillance cameras in this area. You guys can do whatever you want. Just don't kill anyone. Remember to call the police after you're done," Yin Xun instructed calmly.
"Yes!" Tan Ai and Shu Yi said. Then, they signaled to the bodyguards. Everyone rubbed their fists and walked toward the thugs.
The thug leader did not expect Yin Xun to call for help. It was obvious that the people she called were professional fighters. He immediately became deflated.
However, he did not show any fear on his face. He said, "If you dare to call the police, believe it or not, we'll come every day from now on and won't give you another peaceful day!"
Yin Xun smiled and said, "I'm obedient. If you don't want me to call the police, I won't. I just called my bodyguards over. They'll play with you."
The bodyguards were all professionally trained, so they did not have the same concerns as those workers.
After receiving Yin Xun's instructions, they rubbed their fists and walked toward the thugs..

Chapter 360: It's Second Miss
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The leader of the thugs saw that the others had no intention of stepping forward Although the bodyguards looked like they were not people to be trifled with, fortunately, there were fewer of them. The thugs had more people, so this fight was at least better than dealing with the workers.
"Let's go together!" The thug leader gave the order, and the rest of the thugs rushed over. Both sides immediately started fighting.
The bodyguards were indeed professionals. Although there were many more thugs, they were no match for them at all. The thugs were forced to retreat after a while.
The thugs continued backing away as they fought. After a while, they were forced into an empty space. Behind them was a high wall, and they had nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, the thugs were already beaten black and blue. Seeing that they could not win, they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Wait, wait a minute!" The leader of the thugs squeezed out a smile and signaled for his lackeys behind him to stop. After that, he said to Yin Xun, who was behind the bodyguards, "Yin... President Yin, we were wrong. We will not dare to cause any more trouble. We will leave immediately. Please be merciful and let us go!"
Yin Xun walked over and sneered. "Now that you know you've made a mistake, you regret it? Alright, I'll give you a chance. Who asked you to cause trouble? Don't tell me that you came on your own. You don't have the guts to do that."
.....
"No one. We were greedy for money and thought that we could get some money here, so we came over..." the thug stammered.
Yin Xun stared at him coldly. Seeing that he was not telling the truth, she sneered and turned to leave. She went to Jiang Xing's side and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. Help me find out who is behind this."
Then, without looking at the thug again, she pulled Qu Lin to the office at the back.
Behind them were the sounds of thugs and bodyguards fighting. When the workers saw the bodyguards defeat the thugs, they also stepped forward to kick them. Anyway, there were no surveillance cameras here, so no one would know what they did.
"I'm warning you, let us go now. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't continue working in the future!" The thug refused to say who was behind this and even threatened others.
"There's someone of high status behind us. If you hit us again, you'll all lose your jobs!" No one knew who the person behind them was; the thug leader actually did not say anything after being beaten up. He was so angry that he started to curse.
The bodyguards ignored his curses. As long as their mission was not completed, they would not relent.
"Ouch, it hurts. I'm going to be crippled. Friends, please let me go. I can't take it anymore...
"I ll talk, I'll talk. I'll tell you who it is. Stop attacking!"
The more he cursed, the harder the bodyguards hit them. In the end, the thug could not take it anymore and finally wanted to spill the beans. Jiang Xing gestured for the bodyguards to stop. The bodyguards then took a few steps back and stood in a straight line, trapping the thugs in the middle.
"Tell me, who is it?" Jiang Xing squatted down and looked at the leader of the thugs.
The man cried and said, "It's President Yin!"
Smack!
Jiang Xing raised a hand and slapped the hooligan. The sound was loud and clear. It was obvious that she had used a lot of strength. Then, the hooligan's nose slowly bled.
"You still dare to frame President Yin?! Looks like you have not been beaten enough." Jiang Xing stood up and gestured for the bodyguards to continue hitting him.
Yin Xun was his benefactor. If not for Yin Xun, he might not have been able to do anything now. He might have been squeezed out of his job long ago. It was all thanks to Yin Xun. She had taken care of the people who always targeted him and even promoted him to an official position. He was filled with gratitude toward Yin Xun for letting him manage the finances of such a huge project.
That was why he was so agitated when he heard the thug frame Yin Xun. He could not let others misunderstand the boss.
The thug quickly explained, "It was President Yin, but it's not that President Yin. Ugh, I really did not lie. The person who came to use is also from the Yin family. I think her name is...Yin Mo!"
"Second Miss?" Jiang Xing suddenly turned around. The thug thought that he was going to be beaten up again and quickly covered his face.
However, Jiang Xing clearly had no intention of hitting him. Instead, he grabbed the man's collar and asked, "Are you sure?"
Although Yin Mo was not here, the management knew about her.
Yin Mo and Yin Xun were biological sisters, but the two of them did not get along. In the past, Yin Xun had said that Yin Mo was not allowed to come here.
Although they did not know the exact reason, everyone still did as they were told. Before this, Yin Mo had come a few times, but she was stopped by the security guards at the door.
When Yin Mo first came, they had reported to Yin Xun, but after Yin Xun heard that Yin Mo did not go in, she said that he did not need to bother about her.
Jiang Xing suddenly understood something.
He walked away and called Yin Xun to tell her about the situation..
...
Chapter 361: Another Shadow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Yin Mo?" Yin Xun repeated blankly.
If this was really Yin Mo's doing, it meant that Si Fan also knew about it. In other words, Si Fan was indeed the one who instigated this.
This made Yin Xun a little surprised. She did not expect Si Fan to use such a lowly method. It seemed that his success back then was indeed all thanks to the protagonist's halo. There was no proper scheme at all.
At this moment, she was in the surveillance room with Yu Tu, staring at the innermost area of the construction site.
When she was talking to the thugs just now, she saw a black shadow flash past inside and guessed that the people outside were not the only ones causing trouble.
Especially from the attitude of those thugs just now, it was obvious that they were looking for trouble. They did not have the intention to attack at the beginning, so they were stalling for time.
Therefore, the person who really came to cause trouble was actually the person inside. Thinking of this, Yin Xun asked Yu Tu to come inside and monitor.
.....
Just as she had expected, the black shadow she had seen at the beginning was secretly wreaking havoc at the construction site. Before doing this, the person had even patrolled around. From the looks of it, they were looking for surveillance cameras. After looking around and not seeing any surveillance cameras, that person got to work.
Instead of damaging the building, the person was destroying the worker's seat belts and the safety rope that secured the ladder.
Yin Xun did not intend to stop the person as watched them wreak havoc. On the other hand, Yu Tu was anxious and wanted to remind Yin Xun. Unfortunately, Yin Xun was on the phone at this moment, signaling him to be quiet.
"That's right. Although I don't know if they're telling the truth, that's what the leader of the hooligans said," Jiang Xing said.
Yin Xun leaned against the swivel chair and crossed her legs. She bent her fingers and knocked on the table twice. She said in a deep voice, "Then ask him where Yin Mo is now."
If Yin Mo was the one who did this, it meant that Si Fan was the one who instigated it. It was useless to just capture Yin Mo. The most important thing was to get Yin Mo to expose Si Fan. Capturing Si Fan was the most important thing.
When Jiang Xing heard Yin Xun's request, he turned around and walked to the leader of the thugs. He squatted down and asked him, "You said that Yin Mo asked you to come. Where is Yin Mo now?"
"She didn't want us to say anything..." The hooligan tried to bluff his way through, but Jiang Xing would not let him off easily. He raised his hand and was about to beat him up.
The thug had long been beaten black and blue, and his nose was bleeding profusely. When he saw that Jiang Xing was about to hit him, he quickly dodged and begged for mercy at the same time. "I'll talk, I'll talk. Miss Yin Mo said that this company belongs to her family, and nothing will happen if she causes trouble in her own company. If something really happens in the end, she will bear the responsibility. She gave us a sum of money and told us not to hurt anyone. It's good enough as long as you guys can't start working. But you don't have to worry. Miss Yin Mo is very kind. She just wants us to put on an act. Look, we didn't really hurt anyone, right? We were just scaring you guys..."
Jiang Xing's phone was always on call, so Yin Xun also heard the thug's words.
Yin Mo was really loyal to Si Fan. However, she did not know why she had come to cause trouble. Yin Xun lowered her eyes. She needed to find Yin Mo and ask her clearly.
"President Yin, what do you think we should do now?" Jiang Xing asked Yin Xun.
If it was a stranger, it would be easy. She only needed to hand the criminal over to the police. However, this was about the Yin family; she was Yin Xun's biological sister. They could not send her to prison, right? Jiang Xing did not know what to do, so he could only ask Yin Xun.
"Ask where Yin Mo is and if there's any evidence to prove that Yin Mo did it. Also, other than Yin Mo, is there anyone else involved?" Yin Xun gave the instructions calmly. At this moment, her gaze was fixed on the surveillance camera. The person who caused the damage was not done yet.
"Okay." Jiang Xing then repeated Yin Xun's question to the thug.
The thugs looked troubled. Everyone looked at each other and stammered as if they were afraid of something and did not dare to say anything.
Jiang Xing threatened them. "Looks like you haven't been beaten enough." With that, he gestured for the bodyguards to continue attacking.
"No, no, I'll tell you!" The thug finally revealed everything. "Yin Mo said that she would transfer us the money after we're done. She said that if the matter was exposed, she wouldn't give us the money. We don't know what she looks like either. When she came to look for us, she covered her face very tightly. She didn't even show her eyes. If she finds out that we sold her out, it'll be all over. We won't get the money, and we can't find her anyway.."

Chapter 362: Something Is Wrong With Mary
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After listening to the thug's words, Yin Xun said to Jiang Xing, "Tell this guy to contact Yin Mo and tell her that the task was completed smoothly, but that he will only accept payment in physical cash to avoid being traced. As for the location, get somewhere nearby. Try to get Yin Mo to come herself."
Jiang Xing was stunned. "What do we do after Second Miss comes?"
"Yin Mo will definitely meet him. Send two people to follow them and record the meeting. Then, capture them together. As for what happens after that..." Yin Xun smiled and said, "We're the only construction site nearby. There are no surveillance cameras."
Jiang Xing immediately understood and agreed. "Okay, President Yin, I will do it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Yin Xun pointed at the surveillance camera and said to Yu Tu, "Alright, it's almost time for that person to complete his mission. Go and capture him."
The surveillance cameras had been destroyed by the thugs, but they did not expect Yin Xun to install pinhole cameras for safety.
The pinhole camera was very small and concealed. In addition, no one would expect such a thing to be installed at the construction site, so they were no longer vigilant.
.....
Actually, there was one more at the entrance of the construction site, but it had been closed by Yin Xun, so there was no need to keep this video as evidence.
Meanwhile, Yin Mo, who had been waiting for news in the nearby coffee shops, received a message from the thug. He said that he had completed his mission and was leaving. He asked her to transfer the money quickly.
Yin Mo glanced at her phone. When she did not receive Si Fan's message, she replied to the thug, "No, there's not enough time now. You have to delay my sister for a while longer. You can leave when 1 inform you."
No matter what the thugs said, she refused to budge. She insisted on paying later and even instructed the thugs to delay Yin Xun as long as possible.
Jiang Xing was sitting beside the thug while the messages were exchanged. When he saw Yin Mo's words, he immediately frowned.
Why did these words sound so weird? It was as if Yin Mo had something else on her mind.
He quickly called Yin Xun and told hir about this.
After Yin Xun heard Jiang Xing's report, she immediately had a bad feeling. She immediately thought of a plan to lure the schemer out of hiding. She thought of Mary. She has a guess about what Yin Mo meant.
She immediately took out her phone and called Mary. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Yin Xun called twice, but still, no one picked up. The situation was indeed fishy. Logically speaking, Mary should be at work now, so she should have heard the call.
Yin Mo immediately called Mi Jin, and the call was quickly picked up.
"Hello, President Yin, there are no nearby options that meet your requirements. Please wait a little longer. I will search somewhere further away." Mi Jin's panting voice could be heard from the other end.
Yin Xun did not care what he was going to buy and went straight to the point. "Where's Mary? Have you seen Mary today?"
Mi Jin asked in confusion, "Ah, she's at the company. Is something wrong? What's the matter? Didn't you tell her to go out and buy coffee beans? Is that not the case?"
Why did Yin Xun call him if she was looking for Mary?
Yin Xun's face darkened. She had guessed right. Mary was working with Yin Mo. One of them lured her away, while the other went to her place to steal something.
If Yin Xun was not mistaken, Mary must have gone to steal the company seal.
"Go back to the company immediately and inform the security guards. If they see Mary, stop her." Yin Xun hung up the phone after giving the order.
"Jiang Xing, Yu Tu, i'll leave the matters here to you guys for the time being. Don't be in a hurry to call the police. Keep this." After Yin Xun finished speaking, she took out a recording pen from her pocket and handed it to Yu Tu. "Inside this is a recording of what those thugs said just now. After we re done, we'll call the police. It'll be useful to hand this to the police. Wait for my update. Don't tell anyone that I'm leaving."
"Okay, President Yin." Yu Tu and Jiang Xing both agreed.
After hanging up the phone, she instructed Yu Tu to pay attention to the suspect at all times. After that, Yin Xun left the construction site.
"Hey, what's wrong now? Where are you going?" Qu Lin saw Yin Xun walking out quickly and quickly jogged to catch up with her.
Yin Xun did not even look at her. She only looked at the road ahead and walked quickly. "There's something going on at the company. Qu Lin, can you lend me your driver and car?"
Qu Lin nodded. "Of course. I'll go with you."
After the two of them got into the car, Qu Lin kept urging the driver to drive faster. The driver agreed and stepped on the accelerator. The car instantly rushed forward like an arrow.
The driver followed Yin Xun's instructions and quickly arrived at the entrance of Xintao Company. Yin Xun and Qu Lin got out of the car and promptly walked into the company building..

Chapter 363: The Seal Was Stolen
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everything was normal in the building. Everyone was doing their work in an orderly manner. When they saw Yin Xun return, they all greeted her.
Yin Xun nodded and took a private elevator to her office. When she came out of the elevator, she saw Mi Jin standing at the door of her office.
"President Yin, what exactly happened?" Mi Jin saw Yin Xun coming over and quickly walked over.
Yin Xun explained as she walked, "Mary might have been threatened by Si Fan to steal the seal from my office. Check inside the room. By the way, did you notice anything unusual about Mary before you left?"
"No." Mi Jin shook his head. "It feels like she's the same as usual. Nothing has changed, and she doesn't look flustered."
As the two of them spoke, Yin Xun opened the door to her office and walked in to take a look. There were indeed traces of rummaging on the desk and the cabinet behind it. Even the documents were messed up.
Mi Jin often came to Yin Xun's office and knew how things were usually arranged. He immediately said in surprise, "Could Mary really have stolen something?"
.....
"1 don't know. Let me see if I've lost anything," Yin Xun said and walked over to check.
Mi Jin and Qu Lin stood at the door with no intention of entering.
This was Yin Xun's office. Only Yin Xun knew if there was anything missing. If they went in now, they would only cause trouble.
While Yin Xun was checking her things, Qu Lin sized up Mi Jin for a while. Under Mi Jin's puzzled gaze, she nodded and said, "So, you're Mi Jin, the super famous computer genius."
"How do you know about me?" Mi Jin did not know Qu Lin, but seeing that Qu Lin and Yin Xun had come together, and Yin Xun did not shy away from Qu Lin's words, he guessed that their relationship was definitely not ordinary. With that in mind, he spoke in a softer tone.
If someone else asked him this question, he would definitely not answer them. He would either get angry or ignore them.
Ever since he came back with Yin Xun, he had never revealed his identity. Everyone knew about him in the past—Mi Jin, the computer genius who broke the law and went to jail.
In the past, he was young and frivolous. Relying on his talent, he had always been very high-profile. Almost everyone in the industry knew about him.
When he came back this time, his personality had become more reserved and he had never shown his face in front of outsiders. Probably no one except Si Fan knew about him. However, Si Fan would not be so careless as to announce his identity to anyone. Yin Xun would be even more guarded unless Qu Lin was an investor.
Facing Mi Jin's question, Qu Lin smiled and said, "That's easy. 1 found out with a simple investigation. 1 also know that you've been in prison before. Yin Xun is really bold to use someone with a criminal record like you. However, on second thought, it makes sense. After all, your skills are useful."
Qu Lin did not hide her words at all and said them directly.
Mi Jin,"..."
He did not expect Qu Lin's words to be so unpleasant, but since Qu Lin was Yin Xun's friend, he could not lose his temper. Although he was unhappy, he could only endure it.
Mi Jin snorted coldly and did not say anything else. Qu Lin only looked at him with a slight smile, as if she was deliberately provoking Mi Jin.
Yin Xun was looking for things in the office. Although she was a mess of a person in her daily life, she was very organized in her work. She sorted everything into categories; as long as something was missing, she would know what was gone after looking through her things.
After a thorough inspection, she realized that the seal had indeed been stolen.
"The seal was stolen. Do you know where Mary went?" Yin Xun asked Mi Jin.
Mi Jin shook his head. "1 don't know. 1 just notified the security guards. They stayed behind, but the security guards said that they didn't see her. Could it be that she hasn't left the company yet?"
Almost all the employees in the company knew Mary. If Mary came and left, everyone would definitely see her. Since no one saw her leaving, it meant that she was still in the company.
However, Yin Xun did not think this was the case. Since Mary had already obtained the item, she would definitely exchange it with Si Fan immediately.
After some thought, she looked at Mi Jin and said, "Let's go to the surveillance room to take a look."
When they arrived at the surveillance room, Yin Xun asked the staff to turn on all the surveillance cameras. She and Mi Jin checked carefully and saw the time when Mary asked Mi Jin to buy something.
Mary made a call at the entrance of the company, talking as she walked inside.
Then, they saw Mi Jin's figure appear in another surveillance camera. Mi Jin came out of the office and walked past Yin Xun's office without even looking at it. He directly entered the elevator and went down..
...
Chapter 364: Mary Did It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing this, Yin Xun glanced at Mi Jin. Mi Jin touched his hair awkwardly. Back then, his mind was filled with software problems and he had neglected such a big matter.
If Yin Xun wanted someone to help buy things, she could have asked anyone but him.
Not long after Mi Jin left the office, Mary went up. She looked around furtively. When she saw that there was no one around, she carefully pushed open the door and entered Yin Xun's office.
.....
She was Yin Xun's assistant, so she was very familiar with Yin Xun's office. She knew where everything was placed and came out very quickly. Yin Xun could not see what was happening in the office, but she could see Mary sneaking out later.
After Mary came out of the office, she did not seem to be in a hurry to leave. Instead, she went to the bathroom. A few minutes later, a cleaner came out of the bathroom.
Because the cleaning lady was wearing a hat and mask, no one knew could tell that it was Mary.
"She's really thoughtful. She even disguised herself," Qu Lin said with a smile.
Mi Jin frowned and rolled his eyes at her. Was this the time for that? The company's seal had been lost. Such a big thing had happened, but she only knew how to make sarcastic remarks. Was she Yin Xun's friend or not?
Qu Lin saw Mi Jin's expression and knew that he was criticizing her for talking too much. She smiled indifferently and said, "What's the hurry? Can't you see that your boss is carefree about it?"
"It's my fault the seal is lost. This is a big deal. Of course, I'm anxious. If Mary uses this seal to do something harmful to the company, I'll be the first to bear responsibility!" Mi Jin's voice was trembling. Before this, Yin Xun had instructed him to be more careful.
He did not expect he would be so careless and make a mistake in the end. Yin Xun was his benefactor. If not for Yin Xun, he would still be worrying about life and have nothing to his name.
Qu Lin looked at Mi Jin's self-blame and was stunned. She pointed at Mi Jin and asked Yin Xun, "Is he really that afraid?"
Mi Jin rolled her eyes at Qu Lin and snapped, "Does this look like an act to you?"
"Pfft... Hahaha." Qu Lin laughed. She approached Mi Jin and stared at his face for a few seconds before saying, "It's useless for someone to just take the seal. Do you think such a big company can decide life and death with just a seal? It's not that easy to sign a contract. It needs to go through the approval of the higher-ups."
Qu Lin turned to look at the surveillance screen and continued, "The fact that Mary took the seal will only affect herself in the end. She will go to jail, and your company won't suffer any losses."
Mi Jin clearly did not believe Qu Lin's words.
He was a technician and did not understand these twists and turns. Hence, he looked at Yin Xun inquiringly.
After seeing Yin Xun nod, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Despite knowing that Mary had taken the seal away, Yin Xun did not say anything and walked out alone.
Qu Lin nudged Mi Jin and whispered to him, "Is Mary her trusted assistant?"
"That's right. Mary has been following President Yin since the very beginning. She has always been helping President Yin with things. She can be considered to be her confidant. 1 did not expect that she would betray her." Mi Jin sighed, feeling a sense of pity in his heart.
However, Qu Lin did not think so. She raised her hand to her chin and looked thoughtfully at Mary's figure in the surveillance camera. She whispered, "Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
Yin Xun came out of the surveillance room and walked into an empty room. Then she called Mary again. This time, Mary picked up.
"Where are you?" Yin Xun asked directly.
Mary did not reply. She only apologized. "I am sorry, President Yin. I stole your seal. I believe that you must have already discovered it. But don't worry, I will not betray you. I will return it to you after I use it. I will not cause you any trouble."
Mary ended the call.
Yin Xun looked at the black screen of her phone and frowned slightly. She tried to sort out this matter mentally.
From the incident at the construction site, where she had been lured over, to Mary stealing the company seal. Somehow, she had the feeling it was not over yet.
When she walked out of the room, Qu Lin and Mi Jin had also come out and were standing not far away.
Yin Xun approached the twro of them and asked Mi Jin, "Is there anything unusual about Blue Fox today?"
Mi Jin thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing unusual. They just repaired the bugs and went online again. However, because of the previous problems, not many mobile phone companies dare to work with Blue Fox now. Hence, they advertised from the webpage and set up a huge discount that users can directly claim from the webpage.."
...
Chapter 365: Taking the Opportunity to Pull in Investment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mi Jin took out his phone, found the post about Blue Fox and the official website, and showed it to Yin Xun.
"However, there seems to be a problem with their promotional activities. Those coupons will reduce the price, but the price of the goods can either be low or high. If the users want to collect the full promotion, they need to buy more things. In order to satisfy the customer's requests, Blue Fox opened an official boutique. There is a lot of jade and jewelry inside. Although the things are expensive, it's perfect to make up the bill. Moreover, there's also a lottery event. The prizes are quite generous. It's completely different from Blue Fox's previous style."
"Did a user really get the prize?" Yin Xun asked.
Mi Jin nodded. "That's for sure. Even if Blue Fox only wants to use the prizes to fool people, they can t just withhold the prizes. That's illegal. The winners will be announced, and those people are all real users. I've checked this. If there's anything abnormal, it's the constant stream of criticism."
Yin Xun lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she looked up and continued to ask, "When will they start sending the prizes?"
Mi Jin said, "The announcement claimed it would be three days later."
"Alright, then keep an eye on their winners list. Si Fan isn't a generous person. He will definitely make an issue out of the prizes. Since that's the case, let's set Xintao to be released in three days. This is a free publicity opportunity. There will be a good comparison." Yin Xun smiled.
.....
Xintao's reputation had always been good. Blue Fox was just borrowing Xintao's glory right now.
If something happened to Blue Fox, no one could blame her for using Blue Fox's popularity to pave the way for Xintao. It seemed that she had to hurry up with the delivery system and short video platform.
While the two of them were talking, Qu Lin had already taken the initiative to walk far away. She took out her phone and started fiddling with it. She had no intention of listening to their conversation at all.
Yin Xun noticed her behavior and smiled slightly. She liked Qu Lin's personality more and more.
Then, she thought about it. Since Qu Lin had already come to Xintao with her, she might as well use this opportunity to talk about investment.
"Qu Lin," Yin Xun called out to her.
Qu Lin raised her head and looked at Yin Xun in confusion. Yin Xun waved her hand at her, signaling her to go over.
After Qu Lin came over, Yin Xun smiled and said, "Didn't you say that investing in Xintao is not very feasible? Then I'll bring you to take a look at our business secrets. I'm confident that after you read it, you'll feel that investing in Xintao is more valuable than acquiring Blue Fox."
Yin Xun made an inviting gesture, but Qu Lin did not budge. She looked at Yin Xun warily and refused the offer. "Commercial secrets? I can't look at that. You're not using this to threaten me to invest, are you?"
Mi Jin, who was at the side, looked shocked as he said, "President Yin, this is between us and Blue Fox. Are you sure you want to let..."
He did not know what the relationship between Qu Lin and Yin Xun was. He did not finish his sentence, but Yin Xun understood what he meant.
"It's alright. Don't worry, I won't use this matter to threaten you. This is just my sincerity as the CEO of Xintao and my desire to get you to invest," Yin Xun said calmly.
Qu Lin looked at Yin Xun and said, "Are you serious?"
Yin Xun nodded. Seeing this, Qu Lin finally went to the office with Yin Xun.
Mi Jin, who was following behind, was stunned. Yin Xun had only come back for the company's seal. Why did she not care at all about the seal being lost? Instead, she just dragged Qu Lin to look around. What was going on?
Although he was puzzled, he still followed them.
Arriving at Mi Jin's office, Yin Xun asked Mi Jin to find Blue Fox's post on the computer.
Although the bugs had been fixed, there were still many people blasting Blue Fox in the post. Some of these people had not recovered the money that had been lost, and some had their phone batteries burned because their phones became too hot.
However, there was always a silver lining. The worst were the people who had business plans. They were losing a large sum of money because the software made them miss important calls.
In addition to the forums, other social media platforms were also bashing Blue Fox. Anyone who spoke up for Blue Fox was directly attacked on the Internet.
Although the people who spoke up for Si Fan were paid to do it, because the situation was getting very uncontrollable, even the paid posters did not dare to continue speaking up for him.
In addition to buying ghostwriters, Si Fan also sent legal letters to those bloggers who were badmouthing Blue Fox. However, it was useless. Everyone knew that this legal letter had no substance at all. They would still bash Blue Fox as they liked. Even if Si Fan spent money to reduce the trending searches and remove the posts, it was useless.
The users had such a huge reaction because their own interests were damaged. Si Fan knew this, so he pulled in investments from somewhere and claimed to hold a lottery event to compensate the users for their losses..

Chapter 366: Experience It Together

"Is that all you want to show me? It's nothing special. Although there are some problems with Blue Fox now, it's very common in the business world. As long as they buy some fake reviewers in the later stages, launch some activities, and have a good operation, their reputation will return very quickly." Qu Lin looked at the news and was not interested.
Seeing that Qu Lin did not care about this, Yin Xun smiled and said, "This is only the beginning. I'm not persuading you to invest. I'm just showing you around. This matter can't be rushed. You'll see the difference between our two companies in the future."
"But..." Qu Lin casually leaned back in her chair and rested her elbows on the armrests. She supported her chin with the back of her hand and pointed at the information on Blue Fox's website with her other hand. "Looking at Blue Fox now, it's indeed difficult for them to make a comeback. Since they've already reached this point, I believe you won't give them a chance to make a comeback."
Yin Xun opened the information on Xintao's website and showed it to Qu Lin on a split screen. "Right now, Blue Fox's only business is online shopping. Even their express delivery is outsourced. Even if their website is established, it will be restricted in the future. Although you can make money with Blue Fox's original reputation after acquiring Blue Fox, their foundation is not good enough. No matter how hard you work with it, Blue Fox will be slower than Xintao."
Qu Lin raised her hand and interrupted Yin Xun's words. She retorted disapprovingly, "The biggest problem that Blue Fox is facing now is their bug problem, but there's nothing much else to be worried about. After all, before Blue Fox went online with the phone app, they had a decent foundation in the computer. Meanwhile, Xintao is only on the app store for two phone brands. I'm afraid that its current users are not even half of Blue Fox's.
"Moreover, Xintao hasn't been fully released yet. No one can guarantee the details. Although 1 know that Brother Fang Yao invested in you, who knows if he did for other motive regarding you. Whether the project is good or not, I need to personally inspect it to know. Although you're my savior and I like you very much, I can't invest just like that. You're a smart person, I'm sure you understand me, right?"
Listening to Qu Lin's explanation, Yin Xun once again had a better impression of her.
.....
Working with such a smart and rational person would be extra beneficial in the long run.
However, it was precisely because she was so rational that it was not easy to rope her in. She had to let her see with her own eyes that Xintao was stronger than Blue Fox.
"What if I let you experience it for yourself?" Yin Xun looked at Qu Lin and asked with a smile.
Qu Lin was stunned for a moment. She looked at Yin Xun and asked, "What do you mean? Do you mean you want to show me around Xintao workflow?"
Yin Xun did not answer. Instead, she smiled and said, "How is it? Didn't you say that only by experiencing it personally can you ensure that this project is worth investing in? Since you have nothing to do, how about you experience it with me tomorrow?"
Qu Lin did not understand. She was already in Xintao. If Yin Xun really wanted to show her around, why could they now go now? Why did they have to wait for tomorrow?
No matter how Qu Lin asked, Yin Xun did not answer. She only repeated that if Qu Lin wanted to experience it, she would come over tomorrow.
Qu Lin refused to invest, but it was not because she was biased against Xintao. On the contrary, she was very curious about Xintao.
Now that Yin Xun had made the offer, she thought that she had nothing to do tomorrow anyway. Who would turn down money? Thinking about the loss of the official seal just now, Yin Xun might still be busy with the official seal today.
Although it would not be a big deal if the official seal was lost, if someone with ulterior motives took it and did something, the consequences might not be light.
"Alright, then it's a deal. I'll wait for you at home tomorrow. I'll bring you along to experience it." Yin Xun smiled when she saw that Qu Lin had agreed. It seemed like there was a chance.
Earning money was like this. As long as there was a chance, you would use all kinds of methods. Regardless of whether she would lose dignity or not, earning money was the most important thing.
Now, her company needed to expand its various businesses. It was impossible to rely on Fang Yao alone. If anything happened, there would be nothing left.
As the saying went, the worst thing was to put all the eggs in one basket. Once the basket broke, all the eggs would be gone. The assets should be separated so that the losses could be minimized.
Although she has another investor, Liu Ying, she had fallen out with her family and had already invested all her money. It was impossible to get more money from her in the future..
...
Chapter 367: Old Building
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now that she had Qu Lin, a rich second-generation heir, as long as she could win her over, she would have another person to rely on for the projects.
No matter what Qu Lin thought about this, Yin Xun needed to win Qu Lin over tomorrow.
"By the way, your official seal has been stolen. Aren't you worried? Are you not going to do anything?" Qu Lin, who had just finished her agreement with Yin Xun, realized that Yin Xun did not seem to be too worried about this problem.
Yin Xun smiled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, the theft of the official seal won't have much of an impact. We'll wait for Mary to come back and call the police and hand it over to them to deal with. However, the more important thing now is Modern City. It won't be good if someone over there is injured.
"Mi Jin, you'll be in charge when I'm not in the company. Don't make a fuss about losing the official seal. I'll deal with this matter after I'm done with the construction site." Yin Xun turned around and instructed Mi Jin.
Mi Jin was puzzled. "But aren't we going to call the police now? Also, what happened at the construction site?"
Recently, there had been a lot of ridiculous things happening. It was difficult not to suspect that someone was deliberately distracting Yin Xun.
.....
Yin Xun stood up and pulled Qu Lin out. At the same time, he said to AAi Jin, "A group of hooligans came to the construction site to cause trouble, but nothing much happened. They were all suppressed. I'm going to find the person behind the scenes now. If 1 go back late, it will arouse suspicion. Their goal is to lure me away from the company. In that case, I'll satisfy them."
After instructing Mi Jin to keep this matter a secret, Yin Xun and Qu Lin rushed back to the construction site.
Meanwhile, Mary took the official seal to the place she had agreed to meet the person who had threatened her. It was an old and dilapidated building in a remote suburb. No one lived here anymore, and it was as dilapidated as a building in a horror movie.
Before entering, she looked around and realized that the windows upstairs were shattered. Some of the window frames had even fallen off. It was obvious that the place had been abandoned for a long time.
The man had not arrived yet. Carrying the box with the official seal, Mary walked inside on tenterhooks. The man had told her to take the items to the second floor.
Walking up the stairs, Mary did not dare to look to the side. There was not even a handrail on the stairs. She felt that she would fall down if she was not careful.
From the moment she came to this area, she realized that there were no surveillance cameras around. No wonder that person asked her to bring the things to this place.
Other than the occasional chirping of birds, there was no sound at all. It was so quiet that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
When she reached the second floor, she sat by the glassless window with the box in her arms. The view here was wide and she could observe the situation outside at any time.
There was grass and short trees below. She had thought it through. If the other party came in large numbers and tried to do something to her, she would jump down from here. She would probably be injured, but she could at least escape for her life.
Just as she was waiting anxiously, her phone suddenly rang. It was especially abrupt in this quiet atmosphere, scaring Mary so much that she almost jumped out of the window.
She took out her phone with trembling hands. When she saw that it was her mother, she heaved a sigh of relief and answered the call.
"Mary, have you rescued your brother? Is he hurt? Quick, let him speak to me!" Mary's mother called out as soon as she answered.
Mary comforted her. "Mom, the person 1 contacted isn't here yet. I'm waiting for them here. Don't worry, I've already taken out everything they asked for. He won't do anything to Mark."
However, her mother was obviously not satisfied with her answer. She snapped, "Obviously you're not worried because you're not the one who was kidnapped! The person who was caught is your brother. How can you be so calm? Do you actually wish that something would happen to your brother..."
Mary let out a long sigh. There it was again. She had been getting calls from her mother every day for the past two days. It was as if she'd been the one responsible for Mark's capture.
"Mom, can we talk about this after we're done? 1 brought the things to a remote place to make a deal. This place is really scary. Moreover, my boss has always been very good to me, but I stole her official seal. I'm already feeling bad enough. Can you not agitate me?" Mary had not slept much for the past two days. She was already feeling bad enough, but at this moment, she felt a faint headache.
Hearing Mary's words, her mother became even more agitated and scolded loudly, "What right do you have to feel uncomfortable? Do you know that your brother was kidnapped because of you?! What's so good about your boss treating you well? Your brother is your family.. The most important thing now is to think about how to save your brother..."
...
Chapter 368: Her Brother Didn't Come
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing her mother's words, Mary looked around at the deserted surroundings and felt a little safer. At least, she was not alone right now.
Mary listened quietly and occasionally responded. After a while, a black car drove up from downstairs.
Mary instantly became alert and whispered back, "Mom, someone's here. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up, she switched her phone to the alarm mode and placed it behind her. With the box in her other hand, she stood vigilantly in front of the window.
The newcomers came up quickly, but there was only one of them. Mary peeked down. The car was parked below. No one else had come out.
In other words, these people might not have brought her brother over. Or he might be still in the car.
The person who came up was wrapped up in tight clothing. He wore a hat, glasses, mask, and other things. Mary could not tell who he was at all.
.....
"Did you bring it?" The man even brought a voice changer. It seemed that he had made sufficient preparations. Even though Mary came over herself, he still did not let down his guard.
Mary did not answer, but asked the man in black, "Where's my brother?"
"He's not here," the man in black said flatly.
Mary scowled at his sunglasses. "You didn't bring my brother here as promised. There's no need for me to give you anything unless you let me see my brother."
"Do you think I'm a fool? If I bring your brother here, you'll just call the police." The man in black's gaze landed on the box in Mary's hand. He pointed at the box and said, "Give that to me and 1'11 let you see your brother. Otherwise, your brother will suffer."
With that, he took out his phone from his pocket and showed Mary the surveillance footage.
Mary tried to take the phone, but as soon as she reached out her hand, the man in black brushed it away. "Don't do anything. Just look. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to look at him."
Mary had no choice. Neither she nor her brother could afford to offend these people now. Mary could only stop insisting. The man in black held up the phone. She looked at the screen and saw her brother, Mark, tied to a pillar. He was wet and had something stuffed in his mouth. They were probably worried he would call for help.
Mark was wearing white clothes, which were now covered in blood. The people had indeed attacked him.
"If 1 give you this, will you let my brother go?" Mary took a few steps back and turned her head slightly. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the window behind her.
If the man in black in front of her really had any abnormal movements, she would jump down without hesitation.
The man in black saw through Mary's thoughts and sneered. "Don't even think about escaping. Do you think you still have a chance to escape at this time? Give it to me. If you jump down from here, the car below will crush you. No one will notice if you die in such a place."
The man in black took a step forward and stretched out his hand to ask for the item. At the same time, he said, "Give it to me and I'll let your brother go."
Mary looked at him, not trusting him.
The man in black spoke again. "You have no choice but to believe me, unless you don't care about your brother anymore. You wouldn't dare, right? After all, your brother is the lifeblood of your parents. Do you think they will forgive you if they learn that this happened to him because of you?"
It seemed that the man knew Marlie's family situation very well. He was right. If he had not done a proper investigation, how could he have succeeded in kidnapping Mark?
Mary looked at him. As the man said, there was nothing she could do but trust him.
"Alright, I hope you can keep your word. 1 used my position as the boss's assistant to steal her things. My reputation in the industry wall be ruined in the future. 1 have essentially thrown away my career." Mary gritted her teeth.
Left with no choice, Mary handed the box to the man in black.
Mary did not trust the man in black, and the man in black was also very wary of her. After he took the box, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he squatted down and opened the box to check the contents.
Knowing that the man in black would not keep his promise, Mary originally wanted to escape while he was checking his things, but when she thought about the car downstairs and the fact that she did not know how many people were in it, she gave up on the idea and just stared nervously at the man, hoping that he would believe her.
The man in black took out the official seal and looked at it. This kind of company's official seal had an anti-counterfeiting symbol. It was difficult to forge it.
After confirming that it was real, the man in black put the official seal in his pocket and threatened Mary, "I've got the seal, but 1 still have to lock your brother up for a while. Sorry about this, but 1 might still need you later.."
...
Chapter 369: Why Wasn't It You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as Mary predicted, the person did not intend to let Mark go.
Mary frowned and said, "How can you go back on your word? My boss has already discovered that the seal has been lost. Now that I can't steal anything else for you, she definitely won't let me off. She might have already called the police! As long as you let my brother go, I'll stop contacting you. You won't be implicated..."
"Miss Mary." The man in black interrupted Mary. "It's precisely because we won't let your brother go that you must bear the responsibility yourself. If we let him go, you won't have any worries and you'll cooperate with the police investigation and betray us. Don't worry, as long as you're obedient, 1 won't hurt your brother. However, if you have any ill intentions, I'm sorry."
After saying that, the man in black turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, but he did not turn around. He only said, "The contact number remains unchanged." Then, he left directly.
Mary wanted to run after him, but she knew it would be useless. She could not defeat the man.
She went to the window. Just as the man in black had said, he was not the only one who came. When the man in black went down, there was another person who was wearing the same clothes as him down there. The only difference was that he was short and fat. The fat man got out of the car and opened the door for the man in black, as if this person had a very high status.
After stealing Yin Xun's seal and failing to save her brother, Mary slumped to the ground, not knowing what to do next.
.....
While she was at a loss, her phone rang again. She took out her phone and saw that it was her mother.
Not knowing what to tell her, Mary waited a long time before answering.
"Why are you so slow? It's been ages. Did you save your brother?" Mary's mother asked directly when she saw that the call had connected. She was not worried that Mary might be troubled or injured.
Hearing her mother's question, an inexplicable feeling of grievance rose in Mary's heart. She sobbed and said, "No, that person still refuses to let Mark go..."
Mary's mother became anxious when she heard Mark was not rescued. She cursed. "I knew that trash like you couldn't do anything. You can't even save your own brother! What's the point of me raising you? Why wasn't it you who got kidnapped?!"
Hearing her mother's words, Mary felt as if a bomb had exploded in her mind. Instantly, there was roaring in her head.
What did she just hear? Why did her mother say that?
"Mom, what are you talking about? 1 don't want my brother to get kidnapped either. Besides, I'm also your child. What are you saying..." The corners of Mary's mouth twitched slightly, and her eyes were red. Even her voice was trembling so much that she was almost unable to speak.
She knew that her parents had always hated her, but she did not expect it to be so serious.
It was hard to tell if Mary's mother could hear her grief, but she continued to berate her. "I raised you painstakingly, but what use were you? You keep earning money outside, but you aren't concerned about your family at all. You knew that your brother doesn't have a job. If you don't give him some money to spend, are you counting on your father and me to support him by ourselves? We're old, how can we still have the energy? It's all because of you. If we didn't spend all that money on your university, your brother wouldn't be like this..."
Mary's mother kept cursing, not giving her a chance to speak.
The more Mary listened, the more aggrieved she felt. She had stopped asking her family for money since she became an adult. Since high school, she had been working while attending school. She had earned her living expenses and tuition fees. In addition, she had scholarships and had not spent much of her family's money at all.
On the contrary, since she started working, most of her salary had been used to supplement her family's expenses. She only left a portion of her salary every month for herself and still had to make ends meet.
She worked hard every day and gave her family money. Not only was her family not satisfied, but they also kept cursing her. They said that she was useless as a girl and might as well find a rich man to marry. Only then would she be worth something.
On the other hand, her younger brother dropped out of school halfway through his studies. He did not do much every day. Even so, her mother praised Mark and said that it was still good to have a son. She asked Mary to help out her younger brother.
Ever since she was young, Mary had never understood why her mother hated her even though she had done nothing wrong.
Now, she understood. It was because she was a girl. Although she did not do anything, her identity as a girl was already a problem..
...
Chapter 370: Tricking Yin Mo
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Originally, her parents wanted a son and were not expecting a daughter. They had no choice but to conceive another child. The second one was a son.
Having two children was rather more than they could handle, so they vented all their anger on Mary.
Now that their precious son had been kidnapped because of her work, they would definitely blame her for it.
Mary's mother had been scolding Mary over the phone, but Mary was no longer listening. Her mind was in a mess. The words "Why wasn't it you" kept circling around in her head. "Wretched girl, did you hear what 1 said?" Mary's mother suppressed her temper and asked when she saw that Mary did not react after talking for a long time.
"Yes, don't worry. I'll save my brother and reunite our family." For a moment, Mary suddenly felt that everything she had done for her family was a joke.
Tears were still flowing freely down her face, but Mary's voice had become indifferent. She finished quietly and hung up.
In the past, no matter how her family scolded her, she had endured it because she was her parents' biological daughter. They were just a little fierce on the surface, but they actually loved her.
.....
She did not expect that they would happily put her in danger for her brother.
Mary stood by the window and looked out. It was desolate outside, just like her heart felt at this moment.
The people who came to get the official seal were Si Fan's thugs. After they changed their clothes, they went to Blue Fox to look for Si Fan and secretly handed the official seal to him.
Since the mission was completed, there was no need to let those hooligans pester Yin Xun anymore. Si Fan called Yin Mo and told her that those people could leave.
After the thug received Yin Mo's notice, he immediately told Jiang Xing.
"Big Brother, Yin Mo has contacted us. She said that the mission has been completed. She wants us to go to the agreed place to collect the money." The leader of the thugs reported to Jiang Xing with an obsequious smile on his face.
Jiang Xing immediately called Yin Xun and told hir what had happened.
"I'll be there soon. Wait for me." Yin Xun hung up the phone and told the driver to speed up.
Fortunately, this was the suburbs, so there were usually no cars on the road. The driver could speed up without worry.
About five minutes later, Yin Xun and Qu Lin arrived at the construction site. At this moment, the thugs were sitting together near the construction site, and the bodyguards were standing around watching them.
"Let Yin Mo come to this area," Yin Xun said.
The thug did not dare to refute Yin Xun and could only do as he was told. However, he did not know what to say, so Yin Xun personally taught him how to tell Yin Mo so that he would not be suspected.
"Is this really alright? Would Miss Yin really believe it?" The thug had some doubts.
Yin Xun nodded lightly and said, "Don't worry. With her intelligence, she won't suspect anything. Just do as 1 instructed."
The leader of the thugs followed Yin Xun's instructions and called Yin Mo. "Miss Yin Mo, can you come over to our side to settle the payment?"
The thug's voice was on speaker, so Yin Xun could hear everything too.
Yin Mo asked weakly, "Why? I'm nowhere near that place, and it's very close to my sister's construction site. I'm afraid she'll see me."
Yin Xun cursed silently in her heart. She knew it long ago.
The thug explained, "It's like this because our people are too eye-catching. Moreover, we all have a criminal record. If we walk into the city after doing something bad, it's easy for something to happen. As such, i'll have to trouble you to come here and pay us. If you think it's troublesome, you can just transfer the money to us online."
"I can't transfer the money online!" Yin Mo immediately refused. "If I do that, there will be evidence. Since that's the case, I'll go look for you."
With that, she hung up.
Jiang Xing asked Yin Xun, "President Yin, what should we do next?"
Yin Xun glanced at the thug leader beside her. When the hooligan saw Yin Xun looking at him, he immediately shivered and smiled apologetically.
"Other than the people here, did someone else go inside to cause trouble?" Yin Xun had almost forgotten about that other person. That person should be watching.
When the bodyguard heard Yin Xun's words, he immediately rubbed his fists and took a step closer.
When the hooligan saw this, he thought that he was going to be beaten up again. He quickly explained, "No, we only have so many men, and they are all here! Moreover, Miss Yin Mo only asked us to scare people. She did not really ask us to cause trouble or fight. Our goal is only to get money.. We will not do anything super illegal!"
...
Chapter 371: It Hurts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The hooligan was afraid that Yin Xun would not believe him, so he raised his hand and swore he was telling the truth.
Yin Xun knew that there was no need for the hooligan to lie to her at a time like this because it would not do him any good.
Since it was not them, it meant that the person was arranged by someone else. Yin Mo did not have such a brain, and according to her Priestess personality in the original text, she would never do anything to hurt others.
In other words, this person was most likely sent by Si Fan directly.
Si Fan was using Yin Mo's incident as a cover. That way, even if anything happened later, it would be Yin Mo who took the fall and it had nothing to do with him.
Yin Xun lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. If she was not mistaken, that other person would definitely say that Yin Mo gave him orders, and Yin Mo would admit to this crime because she loved Si Fan.
Jiang Xing walked over to Yin Xun's side and asked softly, "President Yin, what should we do now?"
.....
Yin Xun said, "Let's wait for Yin Mo to come."
Perhaps Yin Mo was also in a hurry to resolve the matter; after the call with the hooligan, she rushed over.
She did not dare to get too close to the construction site. The hooligans followed Yin Xun's instructions and went to the roadside not far from the construction site to meet Yin Mo.
The leader of the thugs was still arrogant and domineering when he first arrived. Now that he was meeting Yin Mo under Yin Xun's surveillance, his face looked unnatural, and even his hands were trembling.
"What's wrong?" Yin Mo noticed the hooligan's abnormality and asked curiously.
The hooligan smiled awkwardly and explained, "It's fine, it's fine. I just haven't done such a thing for a long time, so I'm nervous. We followed your request and caused trouble at the construction site. We pestered them to stop work and also made trouble for Yin Xun, so our mission is considered completed, right?"
Yin Mo nodded. "That's right. Thank you for your hard work. However, I might need your help later."
The hooligan was surprised. "You still want to attack the construction site in the future?"
"Are you able to kidnap someone?" Yin Mo stared at the hooligans. Under the hooligans' increasingly shocked gazes, she quickly explained, "It's just a simple kidnapping, not hurting anyone. I just wanted to scare her."
"So who are you trying to kidnap?" the thug asked.
"My sister, Yin Xun..." As she spoke, Yin Mo handed a bag of money to the hooligan. "If you agree to help, I'll give you double the reward."
The hooligan immediately took the money and did not even look at it. He took two steps back and apologized to Yin Mo. "I am sorry, Miss Yin Mo. I might not be able to agree to this request of yours."
Yin Mo did not understand. "Why?"
The hooligan raised his head and looked to the side. Under Yin Mo's puzzled gaze, Yin Xun, Jiang Xing, and her two female bodyguards slowly walked out from behind a brick wall.
The moment Yin Mo saw Yin Xun appear, she immediately turned tail and ran.
Her car was not far away. As long as she got into the car, she would not be caught.
However, how could she outrun a professional bodyguard? Tan Ai's reaction was also fast. The moment she saw Yin Mo run, she rushed over. Yin Mo had only run a few steps when she was caught by her.
"Let go of me!" Yin Mo struggled with all her might, but Tan Ai's strength was so great that she could not break free at all.
"So you know what you're doing is wrong. Your reaction is quite fast. You sure know how to escape." Yin Xun slowly walked in front of Yin Mo and sized her up.
It could be seen that Yin Mo had not been living well recently. The clothes she was wearing now were no longer those of the fancy brands in the past. Instead, they were ordinary and looked very cheap.
Yin Xun raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Yin Mo to be so poor that she could not even afford branded clothes. This was not like her.
Logically speaking, Yin Mo had a lot of pocket money. No matter how disappointed Yin Cheng was in her, he would not deduct her allowance. He had always given her pocket money. Could it be that Si Fan was so poor now that he had set his sights on her pocket money?
Yin Mo saw that she had no chance to escape. With so many of Yin Xun's people around her, especially the woman who was holding her, she gave up struggling.
Seeing that Yin Xun was sizing her up, Yin Mo's eyes were filled with tears. She asked Yin Xun in an extremely aggrieved voice, "Sister, tell her to let go of me. Let's talk things out. She's too strong. It hurts."
"It hurts? You can still feel pain?" Yin Xun's gaze instantly turned cold. She turned to Tan Ai and said, "Bring her to the construction site."
"Yes!" Tan Ai agreed..

Tan Ai pulled Yin Mo to Yin Xun's office. Jiang Xing was very perceptive and knew that this was the Yin family's personal business. It was not appropriate to let others in, so he stopped them.
The leader of the hooligans asked Jiang Xing respectfully, "Um, Big Brother, we've done what you asked us to do. Can we leave now?"
Jiang Xing looked at the hooligan coldly. The hooligan was so frightened by his gaze that he immediately lowered his head and hugged the money bag in his arms tightly.
"Why? Do you want to leave after doing something bad and getting money?" Jiang Xing sneered and gestured to the bodyguards to watch him.
The bodyguard nodded. Then, he grabbed the hooligan's collar and dragged him to the previous place they were at. He stood at the side and watched the thugs.
At this moment, Yu Tu brought the troublemaker over.
Jiang Xing looked at Yu Tu and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
.....
"These people tried to lure us away. These hooligans baited us to the front of the site." Then, Yu Tu pointed at the person beside him and continued, "Meanwhile, this person secretly went to the back to cause trouble. Fortunately, President Yin had the foresight to sense that something was wrong from the beginning. She asked me to go to the surveillance room to keep an eye on things, so I saw what this person did."
"Didn't we destroy all the surveillance cameras? How can there still be cameras?" The person who was grabbed by Yu Tu asked in surprise.
When Yu Tu heard his words, he reached out and hit him on the head. Then, he snarled, "How can you still have the nerve to ask questions? Do you know how much the company will lose because of your commotion today?! Our President Yin loves money the most. If you're done talking, let's see how you compensate."
Jiang Xing frowned and asked, "What did he do?"
Yu Tu laughed coldly and kicked the man beside him as he said, "This person went to the back and tried to cut the safety rope. It has not been severed yet. If President Yin had not discovered it, the workers would not have known. It would definitely have caused a large number of casualties. That would be a huge incident. No one would be able to bear the consequences!"
"Are you guys on the same side?" Yu Tu was not around just now, so he did not hear what the hooligan said to Yin Xun. He asked them about it again.
The hooligan glanced at the man beside Yu Tu and quickly denied it. "No, no. I don't even know him!"
When Yu Tu saw this, he did not ask further.
Inside the office, Yin Xun did not waste her breath on Yin Mo. After she closed the office door, she sat down on the chair.
Yin Mo wanted to sit down too, but Tan Ai pulled her back.
Yin Mo frowned at Tan Ai and said, "I'm Yin Xun's sister. Why are you pulling me back? She's my sister. I won't hurt her."
Upon hearing Yin Mo's words, Tan Ai's face was cold and she did not react. She continued to grab Yin Mo's arm and forced her to stand beside her.
Yin Xun sneered. "Even if you want to do something to me, it depends on whether you are able to."
Yin Xun did not want to look at Yin Mo's face which was somewhat similar to hers.
Seeing Yin Mo's pitiful expression, she felt a little disgusted.
She took out her phone and scrolled through it. Yin Xun saw a message from Mary.
When she saw the content of the message, Yin Xun's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She replied to Mary's message.
Yin Mo saw that Yin Xun was ignoring her and asked, "Sister, why did you bring me here? I didn't do anything wrong."
"You didn't do anything wrong?" Yin Xun glanced at her. "Do you know how much money we'll lose if you stop work at the construction site for a day? Do you know how many things you'll delay? Can you compensate?"
Seeing that Yin Xun did not intend to let her go, Yin Mo finally stopped saying sweet words. Instead, she raised her head arrogantly and looked at Yin Xun with slight disdain. "Then what do you plan to do to me?"
Yin Xun looked up at Yin Mo and said coldly, "Let's wait for a while. I've already informed Dad. He'll probably be here soon. If you have anything to say, wait for him to arrive. We can take this opportunity to settle everything once and for all."
"I just got someone to scare you, didn't I? I didn't ask them to do anything bad. Besides, our company is so big. Why would we care about a small loss? Even if you find Dad, I'm not scared because I have a clear conscience," Yin Mo said nonchalantly.
Yin Xun did not respond to her. Based on what Yin Mo had said, Yin Xun knew that it was useless to talk to her; Yin Mo would not understand anyway and would only think that she was the one being bullied..

Chapter 373: Daddy Yin Is Here
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since that was the case, she would leave everything to Yin Cheng. Yin Cheng was more suitable to resolve this matter than she was.
Yin Mo wanted to say something else because she did not think she had done anything wrong. However, when she saw that Yin Xun would not even look at her, she knew that it was useless no matter what she said, so she stopped talking.
The office fell into silence.
Yin Xun had informed Yin Cheng before she came here to Xintao, so Yin Cheng arrived very soon.
However, as soon as he entered, he saw a group of people standing in front of the office building. Everyone's expression was strange, as if something big had happened.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. The light was blinding. When these people stood under the sunlight, their faces were red from the sun and they were sweating profusely.
Yin Cheng frowned. If this situation continued for a while longer, these people might get a heatstroke.
.....
He walked in and patrolled around, trying to find a person in charge that he knew.
Ordinary employees had never seen Yin Cheng before, not even Jiang Xing, so they did not know who he was. However, they saw that he did not dress like an ordinary person, so no one stopped him.
When Yin Cheng approached the office, Yu Tu saw him and immediately greeted him. "Chairman, you're here."
When Jiang Xing heard who Yin Cheng was, he reacted quickly and said, "Hello, Chairman!"
"Mm." Yin Cheng nodded indifferently. He looked at the workers in work clothes with a puzzled expression. "Why aren't you working?"
Yu Tu explained, "Chairman, something happened at the construction site. We cannot start work yet. As for the specific reason, we will wait for President Yin to tell you."
Yin Cheng looked at the people around him. Before he came, Yin Xun had told him briefly that it was thugs had come to the construction site to cause trouble.
He looked at the hooligans squatting on the ground and frowned. "Since we've subdued these people, we'll just hand them over to the police later. The rest of you, disperse. Go do whatever you need to do. It's so hot here. You'll get a heatstroke."
"We can't start work yet, or the workers' lives will be in danger." Yin Xun heard the commotion outside from inside the house. She pushed open the door and walked out. At the same time, she said to the others, "Go find a cool place. I'll settle your matters after I'm done here."
"Okay, President Yin." Yu Tu and Jiang Xing both agreed in unison.
When Yin Cheng saw Yin Xun open the door to let him in, he no longer paid attention to the people outside.
He walked into the office and saw Yin Mo, who was being held down by Tan Ai. He asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
"Dad, I'm doing this for the Yin family and my sister. I didn't mean any harm. Please don't misunderstand me..." As soon as she saw Yin Cheng, Yin Mo immediately shed tears of grievance.
She knew that Yin Cheng doted on her the most. No matter what she did wrong, as long as she cried a few times, Yin Cheng would give in to her.
However, no matter how much she cried this time, Yin Cheng did not say anything to show concern. Instead, he just looked at her calmly and said, "Then tell me what happened."
Yin Mo told Yin Cheng about how she had hired a hooligan to scare Yin Xun and stop her from working on the construction site.
In the end, she did not forget to defend herself. "I really don't have any intention of hurting anyone. Daddy, you should know me the best, right? I can't even bear to hurt a little bug, so why would I hurt others? 1 just wanted to scare Sister. I don't have any ill intentions. I'm just helping Sister..."
Hearing Yin Mo's words, Yin Cheng's face instantly darkened. He said helplessly, "You were the one who tried to scare your sister, so why are you crying? Your sister didn't hit you, did she? You look perfectly fine and you're not injured."
Yin Mo sobbed as she explained, "Because Sister wrongly accused me. She kept saying that I tried to harm her and even got someone to attack me. Dad, I really didn't mean anything bad!"
Yin Xun had been listening quietly at the side. She looked at Tan Ai in confusion and mouthed, "Did I say that just now?"
Tan Ai shook her head coldly.
Yin Cheng also saw the interaction between Yin Xun and Tan Ai, and his face darkened. He wondered why Yin Mo, who was always so obedient, would lie.
He knew Yin Xun very well. At the very least, Yin Xun would not say such threatening words; she would rather take action directly.
"You said that you wanted to help your sister. You hired hooligans to threaten the construction site. How are you going to help your sister with that? Don't tell me you're trying to train her courage?" Yin Cheng had already vaguely guessed it.
Yin Xun rolled her eyes at Yin Mo. Seeing that she was taking too long to answer, she said, "Let me speak for her.."
...
Chapter 374: Exposed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"The reason you found so many hooligans to cause trouble is actually to lure me away. Si Fan asked you to do this, right?" Yin Xun asked Yin Mo calmly.
Yin Mo shook her head. "No, it's not..."
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it," Yin Xun continued. "You know very well whether Si Fan asked you to do this or not. We all know already, so it's useless even if you deny it. Do you know why Si Fan asked you to do this? He kidnapped Mary's brother and threatened Mary to steal the official seal in my office.
"If 1 was in the company, Mary wouldn't have the chance to do this. Si Fan can't resolve the crisis of the Blue Fox because of Xintao's interference, so he wants to cause trouble for Xintao. After luring me away, Mary can successfully steal the seal. That punk from before asked if you could end their mission, but you said no. You told him to wait for further notice. When Mary's mission is completed, Si Fan will inform you that you can end it on this side. Only then will you pay those thugs..."
"No, 1 didn't. What evidence do you have to prove that 1 said all that!" Before Yin Xun could finish, Yin Mo interrupted her anxiously.
By now, her face had gone pale and her eyes had been constantly blinking.
Yin Xun smiled and picked up a pen from the desk beside her. She opened the cap and revealed a miniature camera inside.
.....
Yin Xun plugged the camera into the computer beside her. Yin Cheng walked over and saw the content and the recording.
From the moment Yin Xun came to the construction site until Yin Mo was arrested, although there were a few breaks during this period, the key parts were filmed and recorded.
"Dad, you should be very familiar with this thing, right? As you can see, there are no editing traces, which proves that 1 didn't synthesize the footage. Moreover, so many people were present at that time and everyone heard it. 1 can't fake this situation."
Yin Xun's gaze instantly became sharp. She stared at Yin Mo. Yin Mo knew that she was in the wrong and lowered her head without saying a word.
"If this incident only caused some financial losses to the construction site, then it's fine. The most important thing is that you stole my seal. Yin Mo, you're already in your twenties. Don't you know the importance of a company's secrets? Do you know that Xintao is at its most popular now? It's also closely related to our Yin family. Once something happens to Xintao, do you think the Yin family can safely withdraw? Si Fan's goal is to destroy Xintao. Do you really want to see your sister's company become worthless?" Yin Xun stared at Yin Mo and asked word by word.
Yin Cheng's expression darkened greatly. He stared at Yin Mo and asked in disbelief, "Mo'er, will you really help Si Fan do such a thing? Xun is your elder sister. Even if you don't like her, you can't do such a thing to her. Do you know the consequences?"
Yin Mo's eyes widened, and her face turned even paler.
She weakly defended herself. "I didn't. How could I want to hurt my sister? Fan only... No, 1 did everything. It has nothing to do with Fan!"
Just as Yin Mo was about to mention Si Fan, she suddenly remembered Si Fan's instructions. Si Fan said that if the matter was accidentally exposed, she absolutely could not say that it was his idea.
She could only say good things about him in front of the Yin family. She could not say bad things about him.
At the thought of this, Yin Mo immediately changed her mind and took all the blame.
Yin Xun saw that she was still speaking up for Si Fan at a time like this. He sneered and said, "Yin Mo, let me ask you. Other than those hooligans who caused trouble at the door, is there anyone else who went to do something else?"
"No." Yin Mo bit her lower lip and denied it. "Everyone is there. We didn't mean to cause trouble. How could there be other people involved?"
"Take a look at this." Yin Xun gestured for Yin Mo to come over, then showed Yin Mo the images captured by the pinhole camera.
They could see a man holding a knife and cutting safety ropes everywhere. He had not completely severed them but only cut them halfway. He did not let go of any of them.
If one did not deliberately check, no one would discover such a small fault. However, such a small crack would definitely break if it suddenly bore a person's weight.
"I can understand if you want to attack Xintao because there is no love lost between the two of us. Moreover, Xintao is Blue Fox's opponent. 1 know that you don't acknowledge me as your sister because of Si Fan. However, Donggang Modern City belongs to the Yin family. If something happens here, what do you think will happen to the Yin family?" Yin Xun looked at Yin Mo coldly.
"No! That's impossible! 1 didn't do it. How could 1 let someone do such a thing to our company..." Yin Mo shook her head and denied it repeatedly..
...
Chapter 375: Why Did You Hit Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yin Xun saw Yin Mo continue to deny it without a care for the consequences. Looking at her, her emotions were very unstable and she would not listen to words.
Smack!
Yin Xun raised her hand and slapped Yin Mo without hesitation. The sound was loud and clear.
The part of Yin Mo's face that was hit instantly became red and swollen, and the palm print on it was clearly visible.
"Sister, why...why did you hit me?" Yin Mo finally calmed down. She raised her hand to cover her face that had been slapped and looked at Yin Xun aggrievedly.
"Xun, you..." Yin Cheng was also shocked by Yin Xun. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt Yin Mo indeed deserved a beating for doing such a thing.
At the same time, he complained in his heart. He knew his daughter well. If Yin Xun wanted to hit someone, she would not resort to threats. She would hit the person directly.
.....
When Yin Xun heard Yin Cheng's voice, she turned her head slightly and asked calmly, "Dad, are you upset by this?"
"No, it's your sister who made the mistake first. It makes sense for you to educate her," Yin Cheng quickly said.
Yin Xun turned to look at Yin Mo again. Seeing that Yin Mo was finally willing to listen to her, she continued, "Let me tell you the consequences. Occasionally, one person might get into an accident at the construction site. However, if this happens to many workers, it will be a major incident.
"If this happens, the company's reputation will plummet. No one will dare to work with us in the future. The construction company can't even guarantee its own workers' safety. They won't know that their seatbelts have been cut. How can the company guarantee the safety of the site?
"Once the public opinion gets out of hand, the construction site will stop working. There will no longer be any companies that want to work with us. The capital chain will be cut off, and one thing will lead to another. In the end, our Yin family will go bankrupt. At that time, it will be considered a good outcome if we are just broke. The worst outcome is that we will be in debt. From then on, we will live a life of hiding from our debts! If we are found by debt collectors, we will be beaten up and arrested. Anything can happen.
"Yin Mo, when that time comes, do you think you can still be the daughter of a rich family? Do you think Si Fan will still want you if you have nothing and are covered in debt?
"He's already put in so much effort for Blue Fox. How can he still find time to care about you and deal with this mess for you? I know that you understand. You're just using the name of kindness to gain benefits for yourself. How do you feel when you hear that your interests will be harmed? Is this the outcome you want?"
As Yin Xun spoke, she pressed closer to Yin Mo step by step. Yin Mo was so frightened by Yin Xun's cold gaze that she did not dare to raise her head to look at her. She retreated step by step.
It was not until she retreated to the edge and had no way out that she stood tightly against the wall. Her body was trembling slightly. It was hard to tell if she had repented or was just frightened by the outcome.
Seeing how flustered she was, Yin Xun took a step back and remained silent. She wanted to see what Yin Mo would say.
As soon as Yin Xun retreated, Yin Mo immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. Her tears fell like pearls on a broken string, and she could not say a word.
When Yin Cheng saw how frightened Yin Mo was, he helplessly covered his face with his hands.
Yin Xun was exaggerating. Construction sites were not safe places to begin with. There were many news reports of accidents, but no construction company closed down because of this. At most, they would compensate and cooperate with the authority's inspection. Everything would continue in the future.
However, Yin Mo usually did not look into business matters, so she did not understand any of the twists and turns. She was really intimidated by Yin Xun.
Yin Cheng looked at her and had no intention of comforting her. Ever since Yin Mo got together with Si Fan, she had done many bad things. Even if she did not mean any harm now, who could guarantee that the things she did in the future would not be serious?
This time, Yin Xun discovered it in advance. If Yin Xun did not discover it next time and Yin Mo really did something irreparable, it would be too late.
Yin Xun looked at Yin Mo quietly. She saw Yin Mo sitting on the ground and crying without saying a word.
Yin Xun gradually lost her patience. She squatted down and reached out to grab Yin Mo's collar, forcing her to look at her.
"Yin Mo, let me ask you. Will you only be happy when you see the Yin family go bankrupt and fall into ruin? You destroyed your own family for Si Fan. Is this your ultimate goal? Also, you were the one who sold Mary's information to Si Fan, right? Didn't you claim to be a kind person? Why did you do such a thing to Mary?"
"I..." Yin Mo opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, she could not say anything..
...
Chapter 376: Don't Call the Police
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Yin Mo was silent, Yin Xun snorted and continued, "Do you think you can pretend that you didn't do these things by staying silent? Are you going to pretend that you don't know about the harm Si Fan has done to Mary and our family?"
"I'm sorry, Sister. 1 didn't mean to hurt you. Fan also said that he didn't mean any harm. After all, we're a family..." Yin Mo still wanted to defend herself.
"Don't tell me that we're family, and don't call me Sister. I don't want relatives like you who kidnap and threaten their own family members! This time, 1 discovered it. If I didn't, who knows what kind of disaster would have happened!" Yin Xun looked at Yin Cheng and asked him, "Dad, Yin Mo is your daughter. What do you think we should do?"
"Ugh." Yin Cheng sighed. This time, Yin Mo's actions were too much. He walked to Yin Mo's side and asked in a low voice, "Mo'er, if Si Fan really kidnapped Mary's brother, can you let him go?"
Yin Mo shook her head. "I'm not sure about this. Dad, wait for me to ask Si Fan if he's okay. 1'11 definitely help Sister with this..."
As she spoke, Yin Mo took out her phone, looking like she was about to call Si Fan.
Seeing this, Yin Xun immediately went forward and snatched the phone away.
.....
"Sis..."
"Do you think I'll let you contact Si Fan now?" Yin Xun stared at Yin Mo coldly.
Yin Cheng was also stunned by Yin Xun's actions. He asked in confusion, "Xun, if you don't let Mo'er call Si Fan, how are you going to help Mary save her brother?"
"I have a plan for this, but 1 don't need Yin Mo's help. Dad, Yin Mo has made such a huge mistake. Are you still going to forgive her? Shouldn't you call the police? She has already made numerous mistakes. If we forgive her, I'm afraid our Yin family will really fall because of her in the future," Yin Xun said to Yin Cheng as she put Yin Mo's phone away.
Yin Cheng took a deep look at Yin Mo. Although he could not bear to see her like this, when he thought of what Yin Mo had done, he steeled his heart and took out his phone to make a call.
When Yin Mo saw that Yin Cheng was really going to call the police, she quickly cried and stood up to stop him. "Dad, I'm begging you. Don't call the police. No, I'm your daughter. Are you willing to see me have a criminal record?"
Yin Mo held onto the phone tightly and Yin Cheng could not continue to make the call. He could not bear to push Yin Mo away, so he said bitterly, "You wretched girl. Is it really worth it to lose your family for Si Fan? Mo'er, think about it carefully. Does Si Fan really love you?
"He tempted you to do all kinds of harmful things, but aren't these things ending up hurting you? He said that he would marry you in the future and we would become a family, but how long have you been together by now? He has always made promises, but has he really taken action? The kindness he shows to you is only because you are useful to him. Once your usefulness is gone, he will definitely abandon you immediately!"
"No, that's not true. Fan truly loves me..." Yin Mo denied as she cried.
Seeing that Yin Mo was still obstinate, Yin Cheng continued to persuade her. "Does he really like you? This time, he instigated you to make trouble with your sister. On the surface, he didn't do anything, but behind your back, he let others do other bad things. In the end, he pushed all the blame on you. Even if Xun didn't find out that you did it today, once there's a safety accident at the construction site, do you think the police won't be able to trace it to you? Do you really want to pay the price of destroying your sister to help Si Fan? Why would the person who loves you make you hurt your family?"
"I..." Yin Mo's expression was pained. She bit her lower lip tightly as tears streamed down her face.
"Mo'er, can you stop being so naive and think a bit more?"
Yin Cheng saw the guilty look on Yin Mo's face and thought that his words had worked. He was delighted and continued to persuade her. "There are so many men in the world, and you're so outstanding. Are you worried that you can't find another person you love? Si Fan isn't worthy of you treating him like this. Since you've discussed the plans with him and you know that he kidnapped Mary's younger brother, how about this? Daddy will call the police. Tell them the details. As long as you sincerely promise to change, no one will blame you."
"Xun, what do you think?" Yin Cheng turned around and winked at Yin Xun. The direct victim of this matter was Yin Xun. Only if Yin Xun agreed could he make this decision.
Yin Xun looked at Yin Mo and then at Yin Cheng. Seeing that Yin Cheng kept winking at her, she immediately understood Yin Cheng's intentions..
...
Chapter 377: It Wasn't Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Actually, in terms of character, Yin Mo was indeed not a bad person who would take the initiative to stir up trouble. Every time she did something bad, it was Si Fan who instigated her.
It was actually useless to deal with Yin Mo. Only by taking down Si Fan would they truly be able to prevent future troubles.
From the beginning, Si Fan was her only enemy. If Yin Mo really realized that she was in the wrong this time and accepted that Si Fan's act of kidnapping and harming people was intolerable, she could even forgive Yin Mo for her past mistakes.
Although their relationship would not improve, at least she would not hold it against Yin Mo for the stupid things she had done in the past.
Putting aside the matter with the hooligans, just the fact that Si Fan had kidnapped someone was enough for him to spend a few years in jail. If that could be done, Yin Xun could focus all her energy on business. By the time Si Fan was released from prison, he would probably not be able to defeat her even if he used all his tricks.
In addition, she had long seen that Si Fan did not have any business acumen. He relied on brute force to do things. Since he could not win, she would just get rid of this person.
With no opponents, her business dealings would naturally be done.
.....
Yin Xun thought that Xintao would continue to expand in the future and would develop many more projects. Since the company was still new, Si Fan had already tried everything he could to oppose it. If he realized that he could not defeat her, he might use some underhanded methods in the future.
In the future, Yin Xun would be busier and busier. It was impossible for her to focus all her energy on Si Fan. If she could deal with Si Fan once and for all now, that would be good too.
Thinking of this, Yin Xun nodded at Yin Cheng to show that she agreed.
Yin Cheng looked at her approvingly, then turned to look at Yin Mo, waiting for her answer.
"I, I..." Yin Mo looked conflicted as she lowered her head.
Yin Cheng did not rush her. He wanted her to figure it out herself.
He felt that since he had already made things so clear, it was impossible for Yin Mo to protect Si Fan anymore.
However, he did not expect Yin Mo to reject the idea after thinking for a moment. "Dad, I won't give Fan up. He didn't do anything. Everything was done by me. Call the police and arrest me!"
Yin Xun,"..."
She always knew that Yin Mo was like this.
Yin Xun was not surprised, but Yin Cheng was furious. He pointed at Yin Mo, his hands trembling. "Yin Mo, are you going to anger me to death before you're satisfied?!"
Yin Cheng walked to the door and opened it. When he saw that Yu Tu and the man who had caused trouble were still standing at the door, he let the man in.
"Let me ask you, who sent you to the construction site to cause trouble?" Yin Cheng stared at the man and asked.
The man looked up. At this moment, his face was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that he had just been beaten up.
He looked at Yin Mo, then looked at Yin Xun. He pointed at Yin Mo and said, "M-Miss Yin Mo asked me to do it."
Seeing that the man was still lying, Yu Tu went up and kicked him. "Tell me the truth, or I'll hit you again!"
"No, no, no, I'll say it..." The man was kicked to the ground by Yu Tu. His nose was smashed to the ground and immediately bled.
He was so shocked that he immediately changed his words. "Yes, that was a lie. It's not Miss Yin Mo. It's another man, but I don't know his name. He uses a voice changer when he speaks. I don't know who it is, but he gave me the money. I was happy as long as I have the money, so I didn't ask in detail."
"What about your transfer records?" Yin Cheng asked.
The man shook his head. "We weren't trading online. We were using cash. The man put the cash in one place and told me to pick it up."
Yin Xun knew that the man was not lying. Although Si Fan was not talented in doing business, he was very talented in doing illegal things. He knew how to escape unscathed.
She had asked everything she needed to ask. Yin Xun gestured for Yu Tu to send the man out.
After they left and closed the door, she said to Yin Mo, "Did you see that? It's obvious that Si Fan did this, but he pushed it all to you. As long as you identify him, this matter will have nothing to do with you. You don't have to go to jail."
Yin Cheng also pointed at the door and said to Yin Mo, "Can't you see? You didn't do this, but Si Fan pushed it all onto you. He wants you to shoulder it alone. Do you really have to sacrifice so much for such an irresponsible man?"
"Dad, I had no choice but to do this. It's all Sister's fault. She forced him into a dead end. Now, no one can help him except me. If I betrayed him too, how pitiful would he be?" Yin Mo cried..
...
Chapter 378: Truly Infuriated
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Then it's okay to hurt your sister?" Yin Cheng was extremely disappointed.
Yin Mo sobbed, "No, I didn't hurt her. Dad, I really didn't mean to hurt my sister. Please don't blame Fan! I really love him. 1 did everything for him willingly, lie used to live a really miserable life. My heart hurts for him. Now that I see him smiling because of success, do you know how happy 1 am? I never asked for anything else. 1 just hope that he can fulfill his wish and live a smooth life in the future!"
Yin Xun,"..."
When she saw Yin Mo's reaction just now, she thought that Yin Mo was finally enlightened, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart.
She immediately thought of the portrayals of the two main characters in the original novel. One was a top-notch little white flower in love. For the sake of her lover, she would still love the male lead even if her entire family was killed and her lover found another woman.
The other was a top-notch master brainwasher. Even if he did not love Yin Mo and did so many things to hurt her, he could still persuade Yin Mo to change her mind about him.
When these two people were combined, no one could separate them.
.....
That was also a good thig. The two of them could be together forever. With that, that they would no longer harm others.
Yin Xun rolled her eyes at Yin Mo and completely dismissed the idea of Yin Mo incriminating Si Fan.
She had gotten over it, but Yin Cheng had not.
"How did 1 give birth to such a stupid daughter? Why are you still speaking up for him at a time like this?! Si Fan is just an ordinary person, not some peerless elite. How exactly did he seduce you to make you willing to fight your family for him?!" Yin Cheng was so angry that his entire body was trembling and his face was red.
Even at this time, Yin Mo was still speaking up for Si Fan. "He's really good to me, Dad. He hasn't mentioned marriage because it's not the right time yet. He said that he's going to give me the grandest wedding on the day his business succeeds."
Hearing Yin Mo claim that Si Fan treated her well, Yin Xun was amused. "Si Fan has so many women around him. Are you sure he really loves you?"
Yin Xun's casual words sounded like a shocking secret to Yin Mo, and she was stunned.
She shouted as if she had gone crazy, "Fan loves me the most. Of course, he loves me. Who else can he love other than me?! I've always been by his side. I've always helped him. 1 comforted him when he was at his saddest. We've always been in love. No one can tear us apart!
"What's the use of saying all this now? It's all because of you that I'm doing this! You're my sister. You know how much Fan likes me, but you still targeted him and forced him to a corner. 1 le only asked me for help when he was desperate! If you really treat me as your sister, can't you take a step back and not make things hard Fan?!"
Yin Xun did not expect her casual question to cause such a huge reaction from Yin Mo.
Only when she hit the nail on the head would someone get so agitated. Yin Xun looked at Yin Mo and saw her angry expression. She immediately understood a little. It seemed like Yin Mo knew that Si Fan did not love her. It was all her own wishful thinking.
Yin Xun smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I've never treated you as my younger sister, so I can't agree to that. Also, remember, I did not make things difficult for Si Fan because I don't like him. The reason he's in such a state now is because he's weak and is just a piece of trash."
"That's going too far! Fan is not trash!" Yin Mo immediately retorted when she saw Yin Xun criticizing Si Fan again.
Yin Xun said to Yin Cheng, "Dad, since Yin Mo won't listen to your advice, then forget it. Let's just do our job and hand her over to the police. I believe the police will find the truth about Si Fan."
Yin Cheng took a deep breath and nodded. He pulled away from Yin Mo's hand and prepared to call the police.
Unexpectedly, Yin Mo rushed over again. She knelt in front of Yin Cheng and begged him. "Dad! Please don't call the police. If you call the police, then I..." Yin Mo seemed to have made a decision. Her gaze suddenly became firm. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then 1'11 die!"
"You!" Yin Cheng did not expect that the daughter he had raised for so many years would end up threatening him with her life because of one man. Before he could catch his breath, he felt dizzy and fell backward.
Tan Ai reacted quickly and rushed over. She grabbed a chair and placed it behind Yin Cheng. Yin Cheng fell onto the chair..

Chapter 379: Death Threats
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yin Xun quickly moved to Yin Cheng's side and gently patted his back to calm him down.
Yin Mo did not expect her words to anger Yin Cheng to this extent. She knelt there helplessly, her face full of fear. She did not know what to do for a moment.
Yin Cheng took a few moments to catch his breath before slowly opening his eyes.
"Dad, are you okay? Are you still angry with me?" Yin Mo asked in surprise when she saw Yin Cheng open his eyes.
Yin Xun was speechless when she saw her like this. She did not know if Yin Mo was genuinely stupid or pretending to be stupid.
If she was really stupid, she was really good at seeking benefits for Si Fan and guilt-tripping others. If she was just pretending to be stupid, she was still loyal to Si Fan. Even when it was such an obvious setup and scam, she still pretended not to know it was wrong.
Usually, she was considered to be kind and would never hurt others, but this time, she had no intention of repenting.
.....
Yin Xun really wanted to pry open Yin Mo's brain to see what was inside.
"You'll kill yourself if we call the police?" Yin Xun asked calmly. "Alright, if you have the courage, try it. Death is very easy, as long as you can accept Si Fan being with someone else afterward. Besides, seeing how relaxed you sound, you must not understand what you have to go through before you die, right?"
As Yin Xun spoke, she walked to Yin Mo's side and squatted down to look at her.
"Xun, you..." Yin Cheng took a deep breath and tried to stop Yin Xun.
He knew that Yin Mo would do anything for Si Fan.
That child was disobedient and always caused trouble without knowing the severity of the situation. However, as a father, he could not let the child do this. He would put his foot down, but no matter what happened, he could not let his child die.
He knew how much Yin Xun hated her sister. He was afraid that Yin Xun would really have a conflict with Yin Mo in a fit of anger and cause Yin Mo to attempt suicide.
However, Yin Xun stopped him and said, "Dad, just listen from the side."
"Yin Mo, you used suicide to threaten Dad because you know that Dad and Mom dote on you. They won't let you do such a thing. But don't worry, I'm here this time. Dad won't stop you. If you die, Yin Rui and I will be the only ones left in the family. It's good that our family has a son and a daughter. Anyway, we can't expect you to support Dad and Mom during their old age."
As Yin Xun spoke, she reached out and grabbed Yin Xun's wrist tightly.
"Ah, Sister, it hurts, it hurts..." Yin Mo was in pain from Yin Xun's grip, and her eyes instantly became moist again. She cried out in pain as she struggled.
Yin Xun sneered. "Just being grabbed like this hurts. How are you going to commit suicide? The only way to commit suicide is to cut yourself with a knife, take medicine, jump off a building, or jump into the sea."
"Cutting yourself with a knife is much more painful than me grabbing you. If you can't even take this, how would you dare to cut yourself? Not to mention the pain of taking medicine and jumping into the sea. Yin Mo, I know you don't have the guts to do this. You just want to scare Dad. Let me tell you, it's useless."
Yin Mo saw that Yin Xun did not sympathize at all. She bit her lip and said, "What if it's two lives?"
"What do you mean?" Yin Cheng immediately sat up straight and stared at Yin Mo.
Yin Mo looked at Yin Cheng and said firmly, "I'm pregnant. If you push me any further, my corpse will come at the cost of two lives!"
"So what? No matter what your situation is, you're going to jail for doing something illegal. Don't think that we'll forgive you just like that." Yin Xun ignored Yin Mo's words and turned to Yin Cheng. "Dad, call the police. The police will handle this matter."
"You're my family. Why do you have to force me?" Yin Mo saw that Yin Xun and Yin Cheng were determined to send her to jail. She smiled sadly. "Call the police, then. I'm willing to go to jail. As long as you don't make things difficult for Fan, I won't ask you for anything."
When Yin Xun saw that Yin Cheng did not move, she knew that Yin Cheng could not bear it.
Since Yin Cheng did not want to do it, she would do it. She could not give Yin Mo another chance to cause trouble. According to Yin Mo's personality and Si Fan's temperament, they would not turn over a new leaf in the future.
Taking out her phone, Yin Xun was about to dial when Yin Cheng suddenly stopped her.
"Xun, wait." Yin Cheng let out a long sigh. "Mo'er, I'll give you one last chance. Will you choose us or Si Fan? If you choose us, then we'll let bygones be bygones. As long as you promise not to look for Si Fan again, I won't call the police. We'll pretend that none of this happened.. If you choose Si Fan, then..."

"I choose Fan!" Before Yin Cheng could finish, Yin Mo answered.
After saying that, she covered her mouth and cried as she apologized to Yin Cheng. "Dad, I'm sorry. I've long decided to marry Fan. I promised him that no matter what happens in the future, 1'11 stand by his side. Now is his most difficult time, and I can't leave him. I'm sorry..."
Yin Mo kept apologizing.
Yin Cheng seemed to have aged in an instant. He slumped his body and said to Yin Xun, "Forget it, I'll let her off this time. Since she chose Si Fan, she probably won't have the face to return to the Yin family in the future. We won't have anything to do with each other from now on."
Yin Mo opened her mouth but did not say anything.
"Xun, let her go." Yin Cheng waved his hand and stopped looking at Yin Mo. He sat on the chair dejectedly.
When Yin Mo saw this, she took a deep look at Yin Cheng and walked out of the door while crying and apologizing.
.....
"Wait!" Yin Xun stopped Yin Mo and said to Yin Cheng, "It's fine if you don't call the police, but you can't let her go back either. At least not for the next few days. She already knows that I know about Mary's younger brother's kidnapping. If she goes back and tells Si Fan, then Si Fan will definitely not let Mary's younger brother go."
She knew that it was useless to just capture Yin Mo. Yin Mo was just a helper to Si Fan. Without her, he would just find other helpers.
Yin Mo was not a threat to her. The real threat was Si Fan because Si Fan was incredibly savage. Other than that, Yin Mo was raised painstakingly by Yin Cheng for more than 20 years. It was certain that Yin Cheng could not bear to part with her.
Hence, Yin Xun could accept the fact that they would not call the police, but she could not let Yin Mo go back directly. She had other plans that could not be disrupted by Yin Mo.
Yin Mo was stopped by Yin Xun. Seeing that Yin Xun would not let her leave, she assured Yin Xun, "Sister, don't worry. 1 definitely won't tell Fan about this. 1'11 pretend that I don't know. Also, I can help you persuade Fan not to do anything illegal."
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Yin Xun said coldly. "Dad, bring Yin Mo back and tell her not to contact Si Fan for the time being. After this matter is over, you can let her go. How about that? This is my biggest concession. If it doesn't work, we can only call the police."
Yin Xun had already put it this way. Yin Cheng knew her temper and said, "Mo'er, please come back with me first."
"Dad, you can't do this to me!" Yin Mo wanted to refuse, but Yin Cheng glared at her fiercely and she shut her mouth.
After making his decision, Yin Cheng prepared to bring Yin Mo back.
Just as she reached the door, she heard Yin Xun say, "Dad, keep an eye on her for the next few days. If you don't, there's a high chance that she'll become a murderer. Then, things will be even more serious."
Seeing Yin Cheng drag Yin Mo away, Yu Tu went forward to ask, "President Yin, what should we do with the thugs?"
"Call the police and let them handle it," Yin Xun said as she looked outside.
Yu Tu was in a difficult position. "But this matter has something to do with Second Miss. She was taken away by the chairman, so they..."
Yin Xun said, "You don't have to worry about that. Just hand them over to the police. You don't have to say anything else."
After everything was settled, Yin Xun took out her phone and called Mi Jin, telling him not to spread the news of the missing official seal. Then, she would think of a way to let Si Fan think that they were working hard to find the official seal.
Although Mi Jin did not understand this behavior, he still did as Yin Xun said.
At the Blue Fox Company...
The bodyguard handed the official seal to Si Fan. Si Fan looked at the thing in his hand and smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time in many days.
After being troubled by Yin Xun for so long, he finally had a chance to take revenge.
With this official seal, he could forge documents related to Xintao.
He knew how important security was to a shopping app. It did not matter even if someone found out that it was fake one day. As long as he spent some money to spread the news, there would be brainless netizens who would fall for it.
He called Cheng She over and handed him the official seal. "Go and write an internal statement. Then get someone to hack into Xintao's account and send this statement out using their official account."
After that, Si Fan told Cheng She what he wanted to write in the statement.
"President Si, but this..." After Cheng She heard Si Fan's instructions, his eyes widened in shock. He wanted to persuade Si Fan out of it.
However, Si Fan did not give him a chance to speak at all. "Just go as I told you to!"
"O-of course, I'll go now." Cheng She took the official seal and went out with a frown..

Chapter 381: Making A False Announcement
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Si Fan saw that Yin Mo had not returned, he took out his phone to call her. However, the other party's phone was switched off. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Not long ago, he had contacted Yin Mo and asked her to come back as soon as she was done because he had other missions for her.
Yin Mo would never take the initiative to turn off her phone. Even if her phone ran out of battery, she would find a way to tell him in another way. From the looks of it, the mission had failed and she had been discovered.
When he thought about what he had told Yin Mo previously, he was not worried that Yin Mo would sell him out. Yin Mo would not do such a thing.
Seeing that he could not contact Yin Mo, Si Fan gave up. With Yin Mo's personality, if anything really happened to her, she would think of a way to resolve it herself.
After Cheng She wrote the statement according to his request, he stamped it with Xintao's official seal and posted it on his social media account. At the same time, he got his programmer to hack into Xintao's official account and posted a copy.
In order to prevent others from discovering that the original IP address was from Blue Fox, Cheng She asked Shen Mu to erase all traces.
.....
This way, even if Mi Jin found out later, he would not follow up with the investigation.
As soon as it was posted, the news exploded on the Internet and was immediately reposted and saved by users.
After doing all this, Shen Mu, the programmer, said to Cheng She doubtfully, "Assistant Cheng, it's really strange. Logically speaking, Xintao's network protection is very strong. Why did I break through it so easily this time? I keep feeling that something is wrong. Do you think they discovered that the official seal had been lost and knew that we would do this? Did they deliberately set a trap for us?"
Cheng She also felt that something was wrong, but he did not have the authority to make the decision, so he told Si Fan about Shen Mu's doubts.
"Don't worry, it's fine. I've already sent people to investigate. Xintao has lost its official seal. Yin Xun doesn't dare to make a big deal out of this. She's sending people everywhere to look for it," Si Fan said nonchalantly. Then, he snorted and spat, "Women are indeed unreliable. Whenever something happens, they panic and give me an opportunity."
From the beginning, he had never taken Yin Xun seriously. He felt that everything Yin Xun had achieved to this date was just luck.
After all, Yin Mo's strengths were obvious. Other than Yin Cheng, there was no one else in the Yin family who could be of any use.
As Yin Mo's sister, Yin Xun's IQ.should be about the same. Even if she could hold him back for a while, she would not always be able to suppress him. Si Fan felt that he did not really attack Yin Xun in the past because of Yin Mo. Indeed, he was too soft-hearted.
Si Fan did not take Yin Xun seriously at all, but Cheng She had always known Yin Xun's strength.
He felt uneasy and said, "President Si, 1 don't think it's that simple. If Yin Xun is really so incompetent, she wouldn't have..."
Halfway through his sentence, he did not dare to continue. At this moment, Si Fan was glaring at him coldly.
Thinking about how he had been made a fool of by Yin Xun previously, there had always been a knot in Si Fan's heart. Cheng She immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything else.
However, there was one thing that he had to remind Si Fan of. After all, if something happened in the end, Si Fan would not reflect on his mistakes and would only push everything onto him.
"President Si, what if they call the police?" Cheng She asked with a frown.
Stealing an official seal was illegal, and they were using it to make a false statement. Although he had asked Shen Mu to erase the traces, if Yin Xun called the police and Mary told them about their kidnapping, even if they could not find any evidence on the Internet, Blue Fox wouldn't be able to avoid it.
Si Fan was not worried about this at all. He said coldly, "Call the police? Hmph, she wouldn't dare. If she dares to call the police, then Mary's younger brother can forget about keeping his life. No one knows that this matter is related to me. Even if everything is exposed, it won't affect Blue Fox and me."
After saying that, Si Fan turned his head slightly and looked at Cheng She coldly. He said threateningly, "Only the two of us know about this, so as long as you don't say anything, there won't be any problems."
Cheng She was shocked by Si Fan's gaze.
It was over. He had found out another secret. Looking at Si Fan, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to leave.
"Don't worry, CEO Si. I've been with you for so many years. You've done me a favor. 1'11 stay by your side as your assistant for the rest of my life. I'm just afraid that you'll chase me away one day." Cheng She quickly expressed his loyalty.
Only then did Si Fan nod in satisfaction, indicating for him to leave..

Chapter 382: Yin Xun Did It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thinking of Mary's younger brother, Si Fan called Chi Bo again, planning to give him some instructions.
However, he did not expect what was to happen
Chi Bo anxiously said to Si Fan, "President Si, I called Fatty the other day and realized that 1 couldn't contact him. Then, 1 sent someone out to look for him. Guess where he is now?"
Chi Bo was still asking Si Fan to guess at a time like this. Si Fan said coldly, "Hurry up and say it."
"Fatty was taken to the police station! 1 heard that Yin Xun found out that he was imprisoning someone. It was Yin Xun who called the police." Chi Bo told Si Fan what he had found out.
"How does Yin Xun know where he lives?" Si Fan asked curiously.
Chi Bo said, "1 heard that Fatty used Xintao to buy a lot of iron chains because their express delivery was very confidential and fast. However, at that time, he had just taken some drugs and his consciousness was not very clear. He tried to pull Yin Xun into his house, but there were others present at that time. That was why his deeds were discovered."
.....
Yin Xun was there?
"I didn't expect Yin Xun to be there either. In other words, Yin Xun personally delivered a package?" Si Fan frowned.
"That's right. 1 heard that she's experiencing the life of delivering packages so that she knows what needs to be modified." Chi Bo asked, "Boss, Fatty knows a lot about us. Now that he's been arrested, do you think he'll rat us out? Although we haven't worked together for a long time, we can't guarantee that the past won't be leaked..."
"This kind of thing can't be discovered. Otherwise, we'll be finished. How about this? That business will temporarily stop. We'll continue after this limelight passes. Also, go and see Fatty. Tell him not to run his mouth. Otherwise, when he comes out of prison, he'll suffer." Si Fan frowned and said in a low voice.
"Yes, it seems like that's the only way. Otherwise, we'll be finished if we're discovered." Chi Bo said worriedly, "But what about our clients?"
Si Fan snapped, "Idiot, you can't even protect yourself, and you still care about them?! Don't worry, we'll continue after things die down. There are many customers. Even if we lose some, don't you know how to create more customers? As long as you have this thing in your hands, isn't it easy to earn money?"
"Yes, President Si!"
Si Fan hung up the phone and stared at the interface on the computer, deep in thought.
He did not expect Yin Xun to personally experience delivery work in order to improve her business. Hmph, she was indeed brainless. A true leader was only responsible for leading their subordinates. If anything happened, he would let his subordinates report it. He had never heard of a president doing these things personally.
However, this incident gave him a good idea.
When Yin Xun delivered packages, it was the best time for him to make a move on her. In that case, it seemed that Mary would be useful again. As expected, he could not let afford to let her brother go.
Si Fan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Mary. Now that Mark was in his hands, even if he did not turn on the voice changer, he did not have to worry about Mary retaliating.
However, he had always been a calculating person. Just in case, he could not let Mary know his identity.
"Hello..."
Mary picked up the phone quickly, but she sounded exhausted and hoarse. She must have suffered a huge blow.
This was what Si Fan wanted. He wanted to destroy Mary mentally and make her work for him.
"Does Yin Xun know that the official seal is missing?" Si Fan asked her.
Mary replied, "She knows it's gone, but she doesn't know it was me and doesn't suspect me."
Si Fan sneered. "Looks like that woman really doesn't have any real strength. What does she plan to do now?"
"President Yin said that this matter is very important. Xintao had barely left the ground when the official seal was lost. We cannot publicize this matter. If the investors find out about it, she would be finished. She asked us to find out who the thief was in private. She is most worried that someone would use the official seal to affect the company." Although Mary was tired, she still told Si Fan the news that she knew.
Hearing that Yin Xun had finally suffered a setback, Si Fan felt better. He warned Mary, "I don't want a third person to know about this, or your brother will be finished. However, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you obediently work for me in the future, 1 can guarantee that your brother will be fine."
"Who are you? My brother is in your hands. Even if you tell me, 1 won't do anything," Mary asked him with a trembling voice..
