Tang Corporation, General Manager's Office.
Chi Yin was deeply engrossed in playing a shooting game, with a freshly delivered bucket of KFC and a bottle of cola placed beside her.
Tang Yu opened the door, walked in, and patted her shoulder.
"Chi Yin, you're playing games again? Take a break."
"Ugh, I died! It's all your fault, Tang Yu."
Seeing the screen turn black, Chi Yin's face was filled with resentment.
"It's just a game. You've been playing all day. Take a rest."
Tang Yu sighed.
[This silly girl is so serious about playing games. Does she really need to act this dedicated?]
Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, Chi Yin's expression turned slightly awkward.
"╭(°A°`)╮!"
Has she been too absorbed in her work lately?
To cover her embarrassment, she grabbed the bucket of fried chicken and asked, "Tang Yu, do you want some?"
"No," Tang Yu rolled his eyes. "Do you know what day it is today?"
"KFC Crazy Thursday?"
"..."
Tang Yu rubbed his forehead.
[Damn, is she getting dumber from playing games all day?]
[I remember she wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with.]
[Flat-chested and not too bright—this kid is doomed.]
"╭(°A°`)╮?"
"Not too bright?"
Chi Yin's face darkened. She was actually very smart, okay?
Most people take at least three months to finish these games, but she only needs about a month!
She even broke several records!
"Today is your birthday."
Tang Yu sighed and decided to remind her.
"Oh, right."
Chi Yin finally came to her senses and smiled awkwardly. "Thanks for remembering, Tang Yu."
She had been so caught up in work that she almost forgot her own birthday.
But as a killer, birthdays didn't really matter to her.
Tang Yu's sudden reminder warmed her heart.
This kind of care felt like an unattainable luxury to her.
"The company has a rule to celebrate employees' birthdays. Since I'm free today, let me celebrate with you."
Tang Yu grinned at Chi Yin.
[This silly girl has been here long enough. She must have stolen all the necessary information by now.]
[Once these documents reach that idiot Ye Chen, they'll probably start making moves soon.]
[In that case, I need to find a way to win her over to my side.]
[I'll start by building some goodwill, and when the time is right, I'll lay all the evidence out for her.]
Chi Yin stared at Tang Yu in confusion.
Tang Yu wants to win her over?
Is this for real?
Ever since she first overheard Tang Yu's inner thoughts, she had started investigating the Tang family.
After some digging, she actually found information about her father.
Her father's name was Chi Hong.
Over thirty years ago, he had offended a powerful figure and was hunted down.
In his desperation, he was saved by the Tang family's patriarch and became the head of the Tang family's security team.
He was fiercely loyal to the Tang family and even saved the patriarch twice!
The Tang family trusted him immensely. Tang Yu's father treated him like a brother.
After working for the Tang family for over a decade, he suddenly disappeared. The Tang family searched for him for years but found no trace.
A few years later, a pregnant woman arrived at the Tang family, claiming to be Chi Hong's wife.
The Tang family naturally took her in and treated her with great kindness.
Less than six months after giving birth to a daughter, the woman disappeared with the child.
Chi Yin couldn't find any more information after that, as the Tang family's records were limited.
But from this, she was certain that Tang Yu and the Tang family were not her enemies!
They had shown great kindness to her family. How could she repay them with betrayal?
"Ah... Tang Yu, is it really appropriate for you to celebrate my birthday?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Chi Yin quickly replied.
"Why wouldn't it be? You've been with the company for so long, playing games... I mean, working hard every day, making significant contributions to the company."
"Thanks to you, the company's gaming projects are advancing at rocket speed. You're the number one contributor to Tang Corporation."
"Today, I must personally arrange your birthday celebration."
Tang Yu spoke with conviction.
[That's right, I'm going to show you what a good boss looks like.]
[Unlike that stingy Ye Chen, who makes you do all the dangerous work and only pays you a few thousand a month.]
[What nonsense about hardship building character? Even capitalists would shed tears for you.]
[Stick with Tang Yu, and you'll eat nine meals a day!]
"Okay, thank you, Tang Yu."
Chi Yin felt even warmer inside. Tang Yu really cared about her.
She had thought about coming clean with Tang Yu.
But after overhearing his inner thoughts every day, she realized she couldn't just tell him outright.
Because Tang Yu... sometimes had a wild imagination.
If she told him she wanted to switch sides, he'd definitely think she was acting.
So, all she could do was help in secret, like sending fake information to Ye Chen.
As for the Dragon Soul Organization, she now only felt doubt and hatred.
Why would they make her betray the Tang family when they had shown her family such kindness?
"Alright, take a break and then we'll head out. First, we'll pick out a birthday gift for you, then go for a big meal."
Tang Yu smiled.
[What should I get her? A year's supply of papaya milk? But I heard it doesn't work that well.]
[The Qingnang Tome has a similar prescription. Her condition requires unblocking her meridians first.]
[But if I try to do that manually, she might chop my hands off.]
[Sigh, I'm just too kind-hearted. I can't stand seeing a girl so flat.]
[What a waste of my medical skills.]
"..."
Chi Yin shivered slightly.
Tang Yu, are you really that concerned about my flat chest?
Though she had secretly tried many methods before. Back when she was a killer, she didn't care, and even found it convenient.
But now that she was living a normal life, she felt like she should at least have something.
She had tried drinking papaya milk and such, but it didn't seem to work.
Would unblocking her meridians really help?
Then she blushed and scolded herself in her mind. What was she thinking?
After leaving the office, Tang Yu took Chi Yin in his sports car and headed to a large shopping mall.
"First, we'll get you a birthday gift, then buy some clothes."
"You're a girl after all. You should learn to dress up once in a while."
Tang Yu teased while driving.
[Sigh, this girl is an excellent killer, but as a woman, she's a bit unconventional.]
[Her fashion sense is a bit outdated. I've never seen her wear a short skirt or anything.]
[She's so pretty. Not dressing up properly is practically a crime against the cityscape.]
"Okay, thank you, Tang Yu."
Chi Yin blushed and thanked him, feeling a little touched.
In all her life, Tang Yu was the first person who wanted her to be like a normal girl.
Instead of pushing her to be an outstanding killer.
