This melon is so delicious.

"So that's how it is." Lin Xuan nodded. "You go ahead and get back to work then. Hua and I are heading back too."

Su Hua and Lin Xuan departed.

Jiang Qing watched their retreating figures, sighing heavily.

"I'm just a miserable wage slave," she lamented.

"When will I finally get to be the boss?"

Once she became the boss, she wouldn't have to be exploited anymore; instead, she could be the one exploiting the workers.

Jiang Qing shook her head and rushed off to continue her work.

On the way back.

Lin Xuan suddenly remembered something important.

He slapped his forehead.

How could he have forgotten such a crucial matter!

"Hua, I want to research microchips. I need to pull some manpower from your company. Could you see if there are any suitable candidates?" Lin Xuan said.

He had already selected personnel from the Tianmu Group; now he just needed people from the Su Group.

He wanted the microchip and photolithography machine projects to be a shared glory for the Su Group, the Tianmu Group, and Shangqing University.

"Alright. Tell me what kind of people you need, and I'll have Jiang Qing arrange it," Su Hua said with a nod.

Lin Xuan told Su Hua which specific roles were still missing for the chip and photolithography machine projects.

"Got it," Su Hua nodded, immediately calling Jiang Qing.

Chips?

Photolithography machines?

Upon hearing Su Hua's instructions, Jiang Qing frowned deeply.

Young Master Lin was actually leading a team to research this project... could he really pull it off?

Yes.

She admitted that Young Master Lin was quite impressive.

But jumping from computer science to microchips and photolithography machines—wasn't that a bit of a stretch?

Jiang Qing strongly suspected that Lin Xuan was just playing around.

However, judging by Young Master Lin's character, he didn't seem like the type to do things without certainty...

"Jiang Qing, halt research on our chip project. Transfer the personnel from that project to Shangqing University," Su Hua ordered.

Since Xuan wanted to research chips, he would definitely succeed.

In that case, there was no need for their company's own project to continue.

"Understood, President Su." Jiang Qing nodded.

President Su was actually halting a chip project that had been in the works for years just for Young Master Lin. She really did spoil Young Master Lin.

Shangqing University.

After class, Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan went to the cafeteria together for lunch.

Wang Dahe said, "Luo Yuan, Xuan asked us to meet at Room 808 in the Daoxiang Building at ten tomorrow morning. He said it's about the research project."

"I know."

Luo Yuan sounded depressed, looking as if all the life had been sucked out of him.

Sigh.

Although President Su hadn't done anything to him yet, he felt like there was a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment.

Why had his hands been so itchy? Why did he have to send that video of his goddess to Lin Xuan?

And it had to be a video of her dancing in such revealing clothes...

And as luck would have it, President Su had seen the video.

Even worse, when he called Lin Xuan to ask him to delete it, President Su was the one who answered the phone.

Wang Dahe shook his head and laughed. "Luo Yuan, relax. President Su really likes Xuan, and you're an important friend of Xuan's. When President Su deals with you, she'll show some mercy."

Luo Yuan glared at him. "That's not comforting at all."

"Wang Dahe, why didn't you warn me beforehand?"

If he had been warned earlier, he wouldn't have sent those things to Lin Xuan, and President Su certainly wouldn't have seen them.

Wang Dahe raised an eyebrow. "You didn't ask. Besides, who knew you were brainless enough to send stuff like that to Xuan?"

"Luo Yuan, the most important thing for you right now is to eat, drink, and be merry. Just enjoy your life while you can."

Wang Dahe started digging into his meal.

He had chosen shrimp, beef, and some green vegetables.

This single meal cost him forty yuan.

In the past, he used to spend sixty or seventy yuan per meal.

Luckily, he had a good brother like Xuan. Thanks to Xuan and Xuan's girlfriend, he had made quite a bit of money.

He now had two million in savings.

He didn't have to be tight with his spending anymore.

Wang Dahe ate contentedly while scrolling through his phone.

"Pfft—"

Wang Dahe suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of rice.

"Cough, cough, cough."

He choked on the grains.

Sitting opposite him, Luo Yuan looked at him with disgust. "Wang Dahe, just eat your food. Why are you spitting it everywhere?"

Wang Dahe didn't answer. His eyes were glued to his phone, filled with disbelief.

Thinking he might be seeing things, he watched the video over and over again.

He even pulled up the internet celebrity's videos to compare them.

Luo Yuan noticed the look on Wang Dahe's face.

"Wang Dahe, what are you looking at? You're so absorbed," Luo Yuan asked curiously.

"Nothing much."

Wang Dahe shook his head. "I just saw something about an internet celebrity. In her videos and livestreams, she looks incredibly beautiful with an amazing figure. But now, she's been exposed."

"Exposed for what?" Excitement lit up Luo Yuan's eyes.

He loved this kind of gossip.

Loving drama was practically in the DNA of Chinese people. As an ordinary guy, he was naturally no exception.

Wang Dahe replied, "It turns out her real appearance is frumpy and ugly, and her figure is terrible."

"Oho!"

Luo Yuan's face remained full of excitement. "Her fans, especially the big spenders on the leaderboard, are going to be traumatized."

Wang Dahe gave Luo Yuan a strange look. "They definitely will be. In fact, I know one of her top donors. When he finds out, I'm afraid he might actually spiral into depression..."

Luo Yuan had been cheated on by his ex-girlfriend, and he had only recovered by watching this female influencer's livestreams and videos every day.

If Luo Yuan discovered this influencer's true appearance—and that she had a husband and kids—Wang Dahe wondered what kind of expression he would make...

Luo Yuan said, "That's pretty normal. A lot of these influencers are 'catfishes'."

Wang Dahe glanced at Luo Yuan. "Luo Yuan, do you think your goddess might be a catfish too?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Luo Yuan immediately denied it. "My goddess is beautiful inside and out. Why would she deceive people like that?"

"Wang Dahe, hurry up and show me the video."

At the prospect of some juicy drama, Luo Yuan's previous depression vanished, replaced by eager excitement.

"Alright then, take a look."

Wang Dahe handed his phone over to Luo Yuan.

When Luo Yuan saw the photo, his eyes went wide with shock. "Someone like this can be an influencer?"

To be honest, you could pull a random person off the street and they'd look better than her.

"Oh my god, she's hideous," Luo Yuan remarked.

"Her top donor is definitely going to need therapy."

Thank goodness my goddess isn't like this, he thought.

"Wang Dahe, show me her photos with the beauty filters on," Luo Yuan said excitedly.

This drama was just too delicious.

"Are you sure you want to see them?" Wang Dahe asked skeptically.
