Wang Kunxiao took Cheng Liu and He Bai to a local restaurant and sat down.

Wang Kunxiao enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of the local cuisine to them, “Young President Cheng used to be in a hurry every time she came to G City. It is rare that I have the opportunity to treat you to dinner.”

“It tastes really good,” Cheng Liu praised it after trying it.

“But why does Young President Cheng have time to come to G city now?” Wang Kunxiao asked casually.

Cheng Liu picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and replied just as casually, “Mr. Wang doesn’t know? I thought Mr. Wang wanted me to come.”

The smile on Wang Kunxiao’s face gradually disappeared, and He Bai also turned to look at Cheng Liu. He never fully understood how she suddenly discovered the problem with Mingtai.

At the entire table, only Cheng Liu was still eating, while the other two people had fallen silent.

After a long while, Wang Kunxiao picked up food with his chopsticks again and took a big bite, making a crunching sound.

After finishing the big mouthful of food, he laughed, but it was bitter, “I only found out about the new system after they went online not long ago.”

“So Mr. Wang specially forwarded the official website message for me to see.” Cheng Liu poured wine into Wang Kunxiao’s cup, filled the cup in front of her, then picked up her cup and touched it to his, “I have to thank you. Mr. Wang.”

Wang Kunxiao raised his head and drank the cup of wine in one go, then put down the glass heavily. “I was correct in thinking you would realize what happened.”

Due to his work, he often forwarded news from the company’s official website. This news this time was so bland and ordinary that most people would not associate it with the Shenyin project.

Wang Kunxiao, as the person who interacted with Cheng Liu throughout the whole process, knew that Cheng Liu was not an ordinary person, and now it seemed that he was correct to think so.

“I found out too late.” Cheng Liu poured another cup of wine for Wang Kunxiao, “But, what are Mr. Wang’s plans now?”

“I resigned the day before yesterday.” Wang Kunxiao raised his head and finished his cup of wine. “It’s time to retire.”

“Mr. Wang is only in his forties and still in his prime. It’s not worth retiring now,” Cheng Liu said slowly, turning her wine cup.

“I can’t stay in Mingtai any longer.” Wang Kunxiao smiled bitterly, “Whether it’s what they did to me or because I leaked the news.”

Cheng Liu put down her wine cup and finally revealed her purpose for coming here, “Would Mr. Wang be willing to come to Shenyin?”

“What?” Wang Kunxiao suspected that he was drunk.

“Come to Shenyin,” Cheng Liu said solemnly. “Mr. Wang, are you willing?”

Wang Kunxiao raised his hands and patted his face, trying to wake up, “Go to Shenyin Technology? But I don’t know anything about those technologies.”

He only knew a little bit about cars, and Shenyin was a well-known emerging technology company.

“Shenyin Technology Company is getting bigger and bigger, and it needs more than just technical staff.” Cheng Liu smiled, “I need people like Mr. Wang.”

Next to him, He Bai kept all expression from his face; Cheng Liu’s move also surprised him.

There was an fundamental difference between Shenyin Technology and most other companies: Cheng Liu had absolute say in Shenyin. Although it was a publicly listed company, the shares not in her hands were so few that even if they were all added up together, they would not be able to sway her position.

When Shenyin Technology Company was first established and they needed huge amounts of funds, instead of looking for investors to invest in exchange for shares to the company, Cheng Liu relied on money raised from selling other technologies she developed over and over again.

He Bai has been with Cheng Liu for several years now, and he felt that she had a domineering nature that could not be concealed.

In other words, Cheng Liu liked to hold power directly in her hands. This was probably a common failing among many self-made people—they were really not good at delegating power.

But so far, Cheng Liu has handled every project well without any problems.

“Can I really go?” Wang Kunxiao was a little incoherent. Who didn’t want to go to Shenyin Technology? Its future was obviously bright.

“Yes.” Cheng Liu took out two contracts from her backpack, “As long as Mr. Wang is willing, we can sign the agreement now.”

He Bai turned to look at the contract that Cheng Liu took out, unable to conceal his shock: When did she draw up the contract? He had no idea.

Wang Kunxiao immediately took it and looked through the contract. The more he read, the more he felt like he was dreaming. Finally, he raised his head and asked, “Young President Cheng, do you really want to recruit me?”

Cheng Liu nodded and took out a black gel pen from her backpack: “Then it depends on whether Mr. Wang is willing.”

From the beginning, she liked Wang Kunxiao’s ability to deal with things, but he had been devoted to working for Mingtai.

It seemed that Mingtai has completely broken Wang Kunxiao’s heart this time.

“I will sign.” Wang Kunxiao took a deep breath, lowered his head and signed his name on the contract.

Cheng Liu took out another box containing an ink pad and handed it to him.

Cheng Liu put away the contract and said, “As soon as the Mingtai incident is over, Mr. Wang can start working for Shenyin.”

“Okay.” Wang Kunxiao’s smile became a little broader, “Until then!”

… …

After sending Wang Kunxiao back, the two went to the airport. On the way, He Bai asked Cheng Liu, “When was the contract drawn up? Why didn’t you let me help?”

“Last night.” Cheng Liu held her phone and looked at the unanswered WeChat message over and over again, and said casually, “It was already late, so I just printed it out myself.”

She was finally going back to City S. After finishing all these messy things, she finally gets to go back to see the person she likes.
