Perspectives on the Dark Night Rose

The employees of Tianmu Group glanced at them.

They clearly had no idea about their boss's speed.

To their boss, all difficult problems were as simple as drinking water.

The boss would definitely be able to solve this problem with ease.

"I think you should just wait here and watch carefully how our boss solves it," a Tianmu Group employee reminded them.

The students from Shangqing University also wanted to see exactly how Lin Xuan would solve it, so they stayed.

What followed left them completely dazzled.

"Done." Lin Xuan left his seat.

The Shangqing University students' eyes widened.

That was it?

So fast?

The Tianmu Group employees said proudly, "See that? That's our boss's speed."

The Shangqing University students nodded.

This speed was indeed freakish.

What kind of monster was Lin Xuan?

Lin Jingyue pursed her lips.

After spending this period of time with Lin Xuan, she realized she was liking him more and more.

She knew she shouldn't like him, but she completely couldn't control her feelings.

However, he had a girlfriend.

His girlfriend was even Boss Su, and the two of them looked truly in love.

She would never have the chance to be with Lin Xuan.

The Shangqing University students all looked at Lin Xuan with starry eyes.

"Lin Xuan is too amazing. A problem that our whole group pondered over for more than a day without solving, Lin Xuan solved it effortlessly in just a dozen minutes."

"As expected of my male god, truly impressive."

"Comparing oneself to others will really just make you mad. I want Lin Xuan's brain!"

Lin Xuan was already used to such praise; his expression remained perfectly calm.

"Since there's nothing else now, I'll head back first."

"Fellow student Lin Xuan," one of the Shangqing University students said, "if you were here, our progress would be much faster. Why don't you stay and do research with us today? Also, you should come more often in the future."

The other Shangqing University students nodded in agreement.

Exactly.

They should make Lin Xuan stay!

If Lin Xuan came over every day, they felt they would only need a month or two to successfully research and develop the chip and the lithography machine.

Lin Xuan replied, "I have matters to attend to and need to go back."

"What matters?" the Shangqing University students asked curiously.

Lin Xuan: "To accompany my girlfriend."

The Shangqing University students didn't dare say anything more.

If they dared to take away the time Lin Xuan spent with Boss Su, Boss Su might just come looking to settle scores with them.

They looked at Jiang Yutong, and seeing the calm expression on her face, their brows furrowed in confusion.

Something was wrong, really very wrong.

Jiang Yutong liked Lin Xuan so much. Logically speaking, seeing Lin Xuan talk about his girlfriend, Jiang Yutong's expression shouldn't be so calm.

Looking at her, it didn't seem like Jiang Yutong liked Lin Xuan.

But...

With Jiang Yutong pestering Lin Xuan day after day, saying she didn't like him really didn't make sense either—

As Lin Xuan prepared to leave, the principal popped up.

"Everyone, you've worked hard researching the chip and lithography machine technology recently," the principal said with a smile.

This was an ace research project for their school; he had to take it seriously.

The principal continued, "It's my treat today. I invite everyone to have dinner at a hotel tonight. No one is allowed to be absent."

"Especially you, student Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan nodded. "Alright, I'll go."

It just so happened that Hua had a business cooperation to discuss tonight.

He could also go out for a walk himself.

The principal looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.

He had already prepared himself for Lin Xuan not attending the gathering. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to agree so easily.

It was truly rare.

"Great, then we'll see each other tonight," the principal smiled.

An hour later.

"Chen Mo, I found out." A Shangqing University student arrived at Chen Mo's house. "Tonight, the people from the chip and lithography machine project group will all go to the Imperial City Hotel for dinner, in private room 605."

Hearing this, Chen Mo felt a surge of excitement.

"Good, good, good."

"Excellent."

Lin Xuan had caused him to be expelled from Shangqing University and lose his job.

Now he could only rely on moving bricks to earn two hundred bucks a day.

He was a PhD student at Shangqing University.

His life was supposed to have a bright future.

Because of Lin Xuan, he lost everything. He had to drag Lin Xuan into the mud to vent his anger.

During this time, he had constantly had people keeping an eye on Lin Xuan, but he never found a chance to strike. This time, he had finally found his opportunity!

That Shangqing University student couldn't help but ask, "Chen Mo, what exactly is your purpose in asking me for news about Lin Xuan?"

Setting aside the fact that Lin Xuan's backer was Boss Su, Lin Xuan himself was a shareholder of Shangqing University.

If Chen Mo did something and it was traced back to him passing the message, he would definitely be expelled.

If it weren't for his mother being ill and urgently needing a sum of money, he wouldn't have helped Chen Mo track Lin Xuan's whereabouts.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Lin Xuan. The big gift I'm giving him is a good one."

He was going to let Lin Xuan sleep with a goddess-level figure, wasn't that a great show?

That Shangqing University student felt slightly relieved.

"Chen Mo, where is the money you promised me?" he asked.

Chen Mo took out a sum of money.

"Here is thirty thousand, count it."

As the Shangqing University student counted the money, Chen Mo's face showed physical pain from the expense.

This was what little savings he had left.

After giving him this thirty thousand, he only had two thousand left.

However, if he could use this to make Lin Xuan fall into ruin, it was worth it.

Lin Xuan returned to Night Garden.

He noticed that Su Hua hadn't gone to work.

"Hua, do you not have work today?"

Su Hua said, her eyes curving into a smile, "I have work, but I'd rather accompany my Xuan."

If she wasn't worried that Xuan would get bored of her, she would want to stay with Xuan all the time.

"Xuan," Su Hua pretended to bring it up casually, "have you ever heard of the Dark Night Rose?"

"Dark Night Rose?" Lin Xuan said with a deep frown. "I've heard of her. She's the leader of an underworld gang."

Afraid that Su Hua might misunderstand something, Lin Xuan hastily added, "Hua, I only heard these things by chance. I heard that this Dark Night Rose strikes fear into people in the underground organizations."

"Then what does Xuan think of her?"

Su Hua looked very calm on the surface, but her heart was actually beating nervously.

She was worried, worried that her Xuan would despise the Dark Night Rose.

What if Xuan found out her identity and had a bad impression of her because of it? What would she do then?

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to ask Xuan these things, but recently she had done a lot of charity work under the identity of the Dark Night Rose, which gave her the courage to inquire about Xuan's opinion of the Dark Night Rose.

If Xuan truly detested the Dark Night Rose, then she would forever hide her identity as the Dark Night Rose from Xuan...
