"So, Chen Mo, it's safe to say that both of us despise Lin Xuan." Lin Li's eyes were filled with hatred. "We've been insulted, spat upon, and our lives have been completely ruined by him."
If it weren't for Lin Xuan, Lin Li would currently be the son-in-law of a prestigious family.
Furthermore, the Xinghui Group would still be intact. With Lin Xuan kicked out of the Lin family, he would have been the father's only son, and the Xinghui Group would undoubtedly have fallen into his hands eventually.
His future had been bright and limitless.
But now, because of Lin Xuan, everything was gone.
"Look at us now—we're living like wretched ghosts, barely human. And Lin Xuan? He's become a 'genius,' controlling a massive company like the Skycurtain Group, and he even has a girlfriend like President Su. I just can't accept it. Why does Lin Xuan, the culprit behind all this, get to live such a glorious life?" Lin Li said through gritted teeth.
Chen Mo clenched his fists tightly.
He couldn't accept it either.
He had always despised Lin Xuan's popularity at school, and he hated that Lin Xuan had stolen the attention of the woman he liked.
He was a doctoral student at Shangqing University. He had received contracts from major companies early on, with base salaries starting at a hundred thousand, and he had a real chance of being with a wealthy heiress like Yueyue.
And now? Because of Lin Xuan, he was being verbally abused, expelled from school, and fired by the company. He had nothing left.
He hated Lin Xuan to the very core.
"Chen Mo, do you want to take revenge together?" Lin Li asked.
"Besides, if something happens to Lin Xuan, President Su definitely won't continue targeting you. You'll still be able to find a good job later. Plus, I promise you, if you successfully take revenge on Lin Xuan, I will give you a good job myself."
"Revenge?" Chen Mo laughed self-deprecatingly. "How can we possibly take revenge? Just like you said, he's the boss of Skycurtain Group and President Su's boyfriend. He has power and influence. What can I possibly do?"
He wanted to take revenge on Lin Xuan desperately, but the events of the day had made him soberly aware of the gap between him and Lin Xuan.
With Lin Xuan's power, how could an ordinary person like him compete?
He feared that not only would he fail to get revenge, but he would also end up in an even more miserable state if Lin Xuan or President Su decided to target him further.
After this incident, he was truly afraid. He felt his only option was to stay far away from Lin Xuan.
"No, there is a way," Lin Li said with certainty.
"Then tell me, what method do we have left to deal with Lin Xuan?" Chen Mo asked through clenched teeth.
There was no way...
He feared that before he could even succeed, Lin Xuan would turn around and crush him.
"Chen Mo, everything Lin Xuan possesses right now comes from President Su. If President Su and Lin Xuan were to have a falling out, what do you think would happen?" Lin Li asked.
Chen Mo fell into deep thought for a moment before replying, "If it's just a personality clash or they get tired of each other and break up, that would be one thing. But if Lin Xuan did something to wrong President Su and angered her, she would definitely take back everything she gave him!"
At this point, he paused.
"No!"
Chen Mo shook his head. "She wouldn't just take everything back; President Su would retaliate against Lin Xuan and make him pay the price."
As he spoke, a light began to shine in Chen Mo's eyes.
Lin Li nodded. "Exactly. As long as the two of them break up, everything Lin Xuan currently has will vanish along with the relationship."
Then, thinking of something, the light in Chen Mo's eyes dimmed again.
"But President Su likes Lin Xuan so much. She protects him at every turn."
She even unconditionally supported Lin Xuan in something as outrageous as researching chips and photolithography machines.
Moreover, President Su and Lin Xuan had been together for two years, and their relationship was still as inseparable as glue and lacquer.
Trying to drive a wedge between them would likely be incredibly difficult.
"What exactly do we have to do to affect their relationship?" Chen Mo had absolutely no confidence in his heart.
"It's very simple," Lin Li replied. "Let me ask you, what is the one thing a woman cannot tolerate the most?"
Chen Mo frowned. After a moment, he said, "Betrayal?"
"Correct," Lin Li nodded. "A man's betrayal. Ordinary women can't accept it, let alone a woman like President Su who has power, influence, and excellent qualities. As long as Lin Xuan betrays President Su, she will definitely cut ties with him."
He had tried to use this method before, but unfortunately, Lin Xuan had managed to dodge it.
However, Lin Xuan might have dodged it once, but Lin Li didn't believe he could dodge it every time.
As long as Lin Xuan fell for the trap once, he was finished.
"You mean... set Lin Xuan up with a woman?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
"Yes. Get Lin Xuan into bed with another woman. And we have to find a way to let President Su know about it," Lin Li answered.
"I've said my piece, Chen Mo. How you choose to proceed is up to you."
Lin Li left Chen Mo's rental apartment.
Chen Mo sat on the sofa, Lin Li's words replaying in his mind word for word.
His eyes churned with hostility.
"Lin Xuan," Chen Mo gritted his teeth and said, "You brought all of this on yourself. If you hadn't caused me to be expelled from school and lose my job, I wouldn't do this to you. Don't blame me."
Didn't Lin Xuan enjoy being high and mighty, adored by everyone?
He wanted Lin Xuan to taste exactly what it felt like to fall from the heights into the mud.

Meanwhile.
At Shangqing University, Lin Xuan held a meeting with the medical students participating in the cancer cure project.
These medical students had known in advance that Lin Xuan intended to research a specific cure for cancer.
Even though they had to sign contracts stating that withdrawing halfway would incur a massive penalty fee, not a single medical student left the project.
However, compared to the photolithography chip project, this one was relatively simpler, so Lin Xuan did not arrange for employees from Skycurtain Group or the Su Corporation to participate.
Lin Xuan spoke up, "If there are no further questions, we can begin the project research tomorrow. Next, I will arrange the division of labor for everyone."
"Okay!"
Everyone shouted enthusiastically.
Another half hour passed.
Lin Xuan explained each student's specific tasks in detail. He closed the file in his hands. "That is the current work arrangement. I will send a document to each of you later. Please conduct your research according to the content therein. If there are any questions you don't understand, you can call or text me."
With that, Lin Xuan left the classroom.
The medical students began discussing excitedly.
"That was amazing. I really didn't expect Lin Xuan, a Computer Science student, to be so proficient in medical knowledge. It's truly a pleasant surprise."
"Right? Lin Xuan is just too incredible. He's so all-rounded that I'm actually curious if he has one of those 'Systems' or pocket dimensions you read about in novels. Never mind the girls in our school, even I, a grown man, am starting to crush on Lin Xuan."
"Ahhh, as expected of my male idol. He's so capable!"
The girls in the project group were all cupping their faces in excitement.
