Old Master Su smiled and said to the butler, "I won't deduct your salary for this month."
The old butler's eyes lit up slightly. "Thank you, Old Master."
Great, his salary was saved!
A servant walked up to Old Master Su and respectfully said, "Old Master, dinner is ready."
Old Master Su asked Su Hua, "Hua'er, do you want to have dinner with me?"
Without Lin Xuan around, Su Hua really had no appetite.
She replied expressionlessly, "No need, I'm not eating."
Old Master Su frowned. "Hua'er, you've been busy all day. How can you not eat on time? Go eat."
Su Hua replied, "No need. I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later."
Knowing that Su Hua wouldn't change her mind, Old Master Su instructed, "I won't eat either. Just keep the food warm for now."
"Yes, Old Master."
The servant retreated.
"Hua'er, let me tell you, you can never finish making money. When it's time to rest, you must rest properly..."
Old Master Su wanted to continue speaking.
Su Hua took out her laptop, placed it on her lap, and started reading documents.
Old Master Su: "..."
Fine.
Hua'er started working again, and he hadn't even spoken many words to her yet.
It was all Su Hai's fault!
Old Master Su gritted his teeth.
If Su Hai hadn't sent someone to abduct Hua'er when she was very, very young, how could Hua'er have developed such a cold and aloof personality?
She would definitely have been his sweet little padded jacket! He would have been able to properly experience the feeling of being cared for and amused by his granddaughter.
On the other side.
Shangqing University.
By the time Lin Xuan finished his work, it was already 8:30 PM.
Lin Xuan glanced at the time.
Hua should have finished eating dinner by now.
The few students participating in the chip project research were constantly sighing in admiration.
"Lin Xuan is really, really, really amazing. When I first heard that he was going to research a chip project, I didn't believe that a computer science student like him could lead us to achieve anything significant. But now, it seems that developing a lithography machine and chips that lead the world isn't impossible after all."
"Yeah, I've been slapped in the face too. Once the lithography machine and chips are developed, those who quit our project will probably regret it until their intestines turn green."
"Right, right, right. They will definitely regret it. To be honest, at first, I also thought there was no way we could develop it. Looking at it now, it would be weird if we couldn't! I've discovered that Lin Xuan is a freak among geniuses! He's omnipotent! He's too awesome! He's simply not human!"
When those students talked about Lin Xuan, their faces were full of worship. They had evidently treated Lin Xuan as their idol.
The employees of the Su Corporation and the Tianmu Group, on the other hand, looked proud.
How could their boss (the man Boss Su fancied) not be amazing?
"Yueyue, let's go stroll around the night market later and buy something to eat," Chen Ting said.
Lin Jingyue frequently looked in Lin Xuan's direction.
"I still have something to do. Let's talk about it later."
Gathering her courage, Lin Jingyue walked up to Lin Xuan. "Classmate Lin Xuan, thank you for letting me participate in such a good project. Can I treat you to a meal?"
Lin Xuan replied, "No need. Letting you join the project was about taking what we both need. You don't have to thank me specifically."
The most important thing was that Hua was very prone to jealousy. If she found out that instead of going home, he went to have a meal with another woman, his kidneys would definitely run away from home carrying a train on their backs.
"Okay, sorry for bothering you."
Lin Jingyue felt a bit down.
She thought that Lin Xuan rejected her not because of this reason, but because of Boss Su.
With a woman like Boss Su by his side, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to take a fancy to her.
There shouldn't be even a trace of illusion in her heart.
Initially, she only treated Lin Xuan as her idol. However, with the progression of the chip and lithography machine project, she interacted with Lin Xuan more and more, and became increasingly attracted to him.
When facing Lin Xuan, her heart would often uncontrollably race, and the thought would pop into her mind that it would be great if she could become Lin Xuan's girlfriend.
In the end, this was just her wishful thinking.
A woman like Boss Su, who had both looks and ability, was the most suitable woman for Lin Xuan.
"Classmate Lin Xuan, I'll be leaving first. It's getting late, so you should go back early too."
Lin Jingyue left in a daze.
She thought she should withdraw her feelings for Lin Xuan.
Wang Dahe came over, slung his arm around Lin Xuan's neck, and looked at Lin Jingyue's retreating back. He clicked his tongue and sighed, "Xuan, do you know that you just broke another woman's heart?"
Xuan was truly a walking hormone. No matter where he was, he could attract the affection of countless women.
Then again, Xuan really had self-control. If he were Xuan, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist embracing women left and right.
"What does how they are have to do with me?" Lin Xuan glanced at Wang Dahe and said expressionlessly.
He wished that besides Hua, no other woman would like him.
The consequences of Hua getting jealous were nothing to joke about.
"Xuan." Wang Dahe shook his head. "You really don't know how blessed you are."
If only he could be like Xuan and have so many women infatuated with him.
Lin Xuan couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Wang Dahe anymore.
He pretended to see someone: "Hua!"
"Boss Su?"
"Boss Su is here?"
Wang Dahe frowned, thought of something, and instantly looked at his arm that was hooked around Lin Xuan's neck.
He remembered that one time when he slung his arm over Xuan's shoulder, Boss Su caught him red-handed. The look in Boss Su's eyes as she stared at his arm made him feel like she was going to chop it off.
Wang Dahe hurriedly retracted his arm from around Lin Xuan's neck.
"Please let Boss Su not have seen it, please let Boss Su not have seen it," Wang Dahe silently prayed in his heart.
He didn't want to lose his hands.
Lin Xuan left the laboratory.
Wang Dahe was still looking around. "Where is Boss Su? Where is she?"
He searched for a long time but didn't see Boss Su, only then realizing that Lin Xuan was bluffing him.
"Damn it!"
Wang Dahe couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Xuan had actually learned how to deceive people!
Those Shangqing University students looked at Wang Dahe with faces full of envy.
Over the past two years, Wang Dahe's computer skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and he had even entered the Tianmu Group to work.
Why weren't they Lin Xuan's friends?
Not long after Lin Xuan walked out of the teaching building, Lin Jingyue also walked out.
Chen Ting asked, "Yueyue, have you fallen in love with Lin Xuan?"
"You can't deny it. Your eyes just now betrayed you," Chen Ting added.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.
