She could even hear him calling her na...
ng ng... ng ng...
Her eyes felt a bit hot, Su Xiaong slightly raised her head, reminding herself she must not cry easily.
Su Xiaong couldn’t guess Yin Shixiu’s condition, nor did Yin Shixiu anticipate that Su Xiaong had followed clues and was close to uncovering the truth.
The phone rang again—Chen Lan.
The news that Yin Technology’s developed electronic chip caused Huayong Technology’s new model phone to explode, injuring innocent consurs, broke soon after she arrived in London.
Adding insult to injury, that’s how the situation was.
Upon seeing this news, Su Xiaong almost had thoughts of dying.
However...
After sitting down for a good talk with Eric and Princess Sherry, Su Xiaong felt relieved a lot.
No matter how bad things get, how much worse can they beco?
She even accepted the news of Yin Shixiu’s death at one point; what else could she not face?
"Have the results from the relevant departnts co out?"
Su Xiaong asked directly. If it was indeed a problem with the electronic chip developed by Yin Technology, the quality assurance departnt wouldn’t be oblivious.
Products from Yin Family have always been flawless. Why did problems arise as soon as she took over?
"The test results will be out tomorrow morning."
Su Xiaong contemplated for a mont before saying,
"Since they’ll be out tomorrow morning, a press conference will be held at Yin Family at 1 PM tomorrow afternoon. You make the arrangents."
"Madam, is this really okay? What if the test results..."
"If the test results indeed show that our product has problems, then we must provide an explanation to the public consurs as quickly as possible. We can’t drag it for even a day."
"Understood."
"I should be able to reach Beijing tomorrow morning. You take full charge of the press conference arrangents."
"Alright."
"Chen Lan."
"Yes?"
"Prepare for the worst, make the most comprehensive preparations."
"...Understood."
Hanging up the phone, Su Xiaong took a deep breath and looked at the street view by the roadside.
"Madam, shall we head to the airport now?"
Su Xiaong glanced at the ti, then said,
"Left turn at the next intersection, Royal Wharf."
"Okay."
Since it was still early, Su Xiaong returned to their ho.
Floor twenty-seven.
The door opened, the room remained tidy, Claire and Lily still ca to clean two or three tis a week.
Su Xiaong walked to the sofa and sat down, set an alarm clock, and then leaned her body onto the sofa.
She took a nap.
Even though her nerves were constantly tense, her body was genuinely exhausted.
Once the heavy eyelids closed, they couldn’t be lifted again.
She still felt heartache, thinking about not knowing where her husband was now.
She still felt tortured, pondering the massive weight of the Yin Family on her shoulders while she couldn’t lean on that person.
She still felt anger.
This world is full of cunning people, sinister people, and malicious people... so many.
Can the law be relied upon? Can it provide justice for her and her husband?
Or is it that only a devil more wicked than the devil can defeat the devil?
She and Shixiu... Do they have to beco more evil than those villains to protect everything they cherish?
Su Xiaong rembered a palace drama that was very popular a few years ago.
Based on the Qing Dynasty harem, three thousand beauties surrounding one Emperor.
At that ti, Xiao ng was only seventeen or eighteen, naive, watching those beautiful won in the harem employing every trick to win the Emperor’s favor.
Like most viewers, she watched with enthusiasm.
The female lead Zhen Huan initially was just an ordinary official’s daughter, with simple and beautiful dreams of marriage, love, life, and people...
Taking that step into the deep palace seed destined to go against her wishes.
The intrigue between people was alarming, the darkness made one’s back feel cold.
Xiao ng thought it was just a TV series, just a very exciting novel.
But she never expected that both novel and script creations have always been life-inspired.
They say novels are bizarre and mysterious, yet reality is far more bizarre and mysterious.
Human nature is dissected and transford into text, the good things people watch joyfully, the bad things people instinctively want to deny.
Xiao ng never imagined that years later, she would genuinely feel the grim and cruel side of human nature in such a way.
She strongly rembered seeing Zhen Huan returning to the deep palace from the nunnery with firm determination, seemingly armored to "slay demons", feeling excited and passionate!
Vividly rembered the pleasure at the end, especially the satisfaction when Zhen Huan drove the Emperor to death on his sickbed with heartbreaking words.
Everyone loves this kind of plot.
Bad people ultimately suffer.
But how many have thought?
At the story’s end... the beautiful woman with the pure and kind heart and the most beautiful hopes disappeared.
She beca tougher than anyone, more ruthless than the Emperor, more skilful than anyone, seemingly indestructible.
But Zhen Huan... was gone.
In the end, no one won, even if they survived, it was still a lonely life.
The alarm bell rang, Su Xiaong woke up calmly.
Adjusting her clothes, turning off the phone’s alarm, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face, then left the house and closed the door again.
————
The next morning at ten, Su Xiaong arrived in Beijing.
She brought back pastries from London for her siblings, took a bath, and changed her clothes, while the driver waited downstairs.
To Yin Family, at twelve o’clock.
Su Xiaong in the president’s office, reviewing the questions reporters might ask at the press conference, organized by Chen Lan.
She had repeatedly reviewed them on the plane.
Feeling a bit anxious, flipping through these docunts, her expression showed impatience.
Chen Lan entered without knocking, Su Xiaong imdiately glanced at him,
"What about the results?"
Chen Lan frowned deeply,
"The test results are still not out, they said it might not be today."
"What’s going on?! Wasn’t it said it would be out this morning?"
Regardless of the outco being good or bad, Su Xiaong had prepared responses, but never anticipated a scenario where the test results weren’t ready.
Veins bulged on Chen Lan’s forehead.
Su Xiaong narrowed her eyes,
"Is soone ssing behind the scenes again?"
"They said they must first test Huayong Technology’s product. So for ours..."
With this said, Su Xiaong understood.
It seems she was a bit too rushed, should have waited for the test results before announcing the press conference.
Soone more experienced than her was watching her every move.
Any decision that wasn’t cautious enough would be an opportunity for "that person" to exploit.
"Huayong Technology held a press conference yesterday afternoon, claiming their product is fine, and it’s Yin Technology’s electronic chip issue."
Chen Lan gritted his teeth while speaking,
"Soone must be backing Huayong Technology, openly opposing our Yin Family. Aren’t they afraid of losing footing in this industry!? When President Yin was around, Huayong’s boss was eager to kneel and lick President Yin’s shoes!"
"Truly thinks with Yin Family they have no other partners!"
Su Xiaong raised her eyes,
"Besides Huayong Technology, I rember there are two other partner companies for this electronic chip?"
"But only Huayong Technology released a product first, and after the incident, the bosses of those two companies expressed reservations, not to be underestimated."
Su Xiaong pursed her lips...
For a mont she didn’t know what to do.
"Perhaps cancel the press conference?"
After long contemplation, Chen Lan hesitantly suggested.
"Have the dia already arrived?"
"It’s not just the dia, representatives from enterprises cooperating with Yin Family have arrived too, unclear if anyone among them is allied."
Su Xiaong felt her head was about to explode.
With a fixed gaze on the conference materials that seed almost useless...
"Backing down temporarily isn’t Yin Family’s style. Canceling the press conference today would make Yin Family the biggest laughingstock in Beijing!"
