Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 440 Heartless in a CEO Novel (20)

Baoqing Industrial Park.

After returning from the penthouse suite to the ground floor and closing the door, Xia Youmi hugged Niannian tightly. Without needing to say anything, the little dog, who had already overheard the conversation, offered its soft belly to her.

This triggered another sudden storm.

"Woof—" Youmi, don't be sad, no one can separate us.

In Niannian's heart, if she has no choice but to reopen, as long as she has rice and everything is fine, she can do so with peace of mind.

and,

Xia Youmi doesn't mind putting the importance of each year in front of her. If she can't prevent the random bestowal of good fortune upon the main characters, then she can only establish her own defenses. If her boundaries are crossed, she can retaliate from the moral high ground.

in this way,

In this way, one can win people's hearts in a world that values ​​morality.

Xia Youmi's original text states that his later years were so unsatisfactory because he lacked a saintly image in the face of public opinion and condemnation.

She can choose not to care, but she doesn't want to be a fool who can be blamed on by anyone while still trying to maintain a facade of virtue.

Only with a strong voice can she truly protect Nian Nian.

but,

"Hey?"

"Yes, I do. My advisor is going to take me abroad for further studies."

"So sudden?"

“Yes, it’s a research exchange that lasts 4 to 6 months. I’ll be back in China a month before the new semester starts. My supervisor’s schedule is all set, but my senior sister couldn’t go at the last minute. My supervisor needs someone to do the work, and when he heard that I had applied to be his graduate student and had my passport and visa ready, he told me to fill in. He also wrote a letter to the hospital.” Yu Li explained in detail.

This cannot be refused casually.

Even setting aside the fact that he was able to attend this year's symposium ahead of schedule, it was a great opportunity for advancement in itself. Given the close relationship between his mentor and the hospital, he couldn't use the excuse of being busy at the hospital to avoid traveling. Moreover, these were connections he would be cultivating over the next few years, so he couldn't refute the high expectations placed upon him.

In the future, he will need these experiences to enhance his resume after completing his studies.

"Hmm, is there still time to pack your luggage? Which airport?" Xia Youmi's tone was natural and calm, no different from their usual conversations, only Nian Nian frowned.

"Baoyu Airport, departure at 3:00 PM on Saturday."

“Okay, I’ll come and take you.” Xia Youmi estimated the time, and since Baoyu Airport is located at the border of Baoshi and Yushi, it would only take her two hours to drive there.

"Then... one night earlier... okay?" Yu Li's tone was gentle and melodious, with the clear and transparent quality that Xia Youmi liked the most, but the last syllable was a request.

"I... I'll think about it and give you an answer on Friday. Anyway, staying overnight near the airport won't affect your itinerary, right?"

"Hmm!" Yu Li's tone gradually rose.

No matter how busy she was, the business partners' official schedules were all on weekdays, so she could manage to go out on Friday nights. This trip would last for several months.

When I came back, I was almost caught up with the start of the main storyline.

Xia Youmi couldn't predict how things would turn out.

All she knew was that right now, she wanted to hug each other and feel content.

A scene, perfectly frozen at the climax, is also happiness.

On the night Xia Youmi left the park for the airport, the team learned from the star keeper that Yu Li was going abroad. There was some teasing, but also a strange sense of regret.

On the day Xia Youmi returned for the experiment, she wore a comfortable low-cut dress, her black hair concealing a hidden bluish-purple hue, and her forlorn expression was even more pitiful.

Their acting was so superb that they almost fooled Nian Nian.

"Youmi! You!" It was extremely worried, fearing that she would be surrounded by sorrow and suffer emotional setbacks before the main storyline arrived.

"Year after year, sob sob!"

"Was it Yu Li? What did he say?" Leaving the hotel alone for one night was a choice he made every year, but at this moment, he began to regret not being by Xia Youmi's side.

"Waaah." Her voice began to betray her deliberate and playful nature as she stretched out her hands to cover her eyes, her lips curving into the widest possible smile.

"Phew." Niannian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."

"My dear Niannian, you truly understand me! Come here for a kiss, mwah!"

Xia Youmi tackled Niannian and began to listen to her recount her behavior after driving into the park, as well as the attitudes of the other people.

A beautiful woman in her solitude is still beautiful.

Moreover, tonight's sunset, tinged with a blue-red hue, evoked a sense of melancholy and sadness.

The contrast between the dark and soft light accentuated the contours of her body.

Such an unguarded person can also reveal their true colors.

The situation has changed. In the original text, Yu Li would not go abroad, so all these transfers must be related to Xia Youmi's current situation.

She couldn't quite figure out who it was before—Mu Yongqing, Shao Yunshen, or the newly acquainted CEO Yu.

The latter showed just as much interest as the first two.

In particular, upon learning that Mu Yongqing had once demanded her services and that she was Shao Yunshen's chief secretary, the insignificant attention from those in power became a draw for those at the same level.

No one will ask her how she feels.

However, Xia Youmi, who has been receiving help every year, must find out where the root of the change lies.

Her intuition told her it wasn't about ability.

If they were truly exceptionally talented, there's no reason why Shao Yunshen's countless genius employees, aside from their financial status, wouldn't have been repeatedly mentioned.

A skilled person only needs to make good products; Xia Youmi can make products and also make a profit.

However, the compensation for the money-making part is exceptional. As a newcomer with no experience, being able to obtain a top-tier royalty contract has already attracted a lot of envy.

She was also subjectively promoted to a high position in her secretarial duties.

Having a perfect boyfriend—beautiful and from a wealthy family—is enough to be met with harsh slander simply because of her virtuous qualities, let alone the complexities of the human heart. The genuine and feigned covetousness that rushes towards her makes it difficult to discern the truth.

......

After Yu Li went abroad, the negotiations within the park gradually came to an end.

Although Xiao Yu did not suffer repeated defeats, he also failed to achieve the association's original goal and could not take over the entire Baoshi Enterprise. He could only choose to establish cooperation with Baoqing Group, which had temporarily released friendly signals.

What's more, it's buy one get one free.

By connecting with Baoqing, they can benefit from several popular industries facilitated by Shenta. Although not in Yushi or Baoshi, it already gives them the opportunity to catch up with emerging categories.

In the past, Shenta was a tough nut to crack, and they were unwilling to let them get involved, even at the cost of severing ties with the association.

Some plucked furs are ultimately not enough to quench thirst.

In the end, Bao Qing swallowed the Bao family's assets, transferring a portion to elderly care.

Shenta offered timely help, but ended up becoming a spoiler.

The association left Baoshi, taking with it profits, technology, talent, and a strong determination to master the craft after completing their studies.

Those old foxes love to think things through.

Given Shao Yunshen's arrogant attitude, he might deliver defective products or be about to release information publicly, catching them off guard. Therefore, it's crucial to quickly assess the value of any preliminarily verified assets. The goal is to ensure that even if ambitious individuals enter the same industry, they can still control the rule-making process.

Young people are made to worship.

Let the old order continue.

Aside from large-scale battles, there are also countless small-scale love-hate dramas.

This is the battlefield that Xia Youmi needs to be wary of.

Having overcome his predicament, Mu Yongqing was in high spirits, showing no trace of his previous dejection. The moment he gained control of the narrative, he didn't even bother to feign mourning for his deceased wife in front of Shen Ta and the others.

Instead, he privately invited Xia Youmi to talk. After being rejected, he still scheduled the request for a casual chat after the formal meeting.

The first time, Xia Youmi fooled him by saying he would find him after the meeting.

The second time the issue was raised, Xia Youmi's broken promise of not providing private communication was brought to the forefront.

An Yubei and Luo Yu exchanged glances, gaining a completely new perspective on Xia Youmi's temperament and arrogance. They thought she was a smart girl who prioritized the bigger picture.

It's understandable that one might initially be reluctant to engage in social interaction due to the other party's initial offense.

But now that President Mu has explained, Shenta and Baoqing's cooperation is imminent, and to raise the issue so high-profile now would be suspected of holding out for a higher price.

Shao Yunshen didn't frown this time, but he still didn't try to persuade the employee. His attitude remained the same: this was the employee's personal choice.

Two equally imposing faces.

Shao Yunshen's restraint was clearly more appealing. Mu Yongqing was not afraid of comparison, but his condition was clear: he had just lost his first wife.

No matter what,

His character also showed obvious flaws.

If Xia Youmi agrees and establishes contact, the flaw will naturally shift to the woman.

If one stubbornly guards the gate, it becomes a story of a tough nut to crack and a wolf in sheep's clothing, devoid of any romance.

When the meeting finally ended, she remained indifferent.

Given Shao Yunshen's protection of Xia Youmi, Mu Yongqing had no choice but to admit defeat. It only took him a moment to go from joking to being sincere, but he could hold back until he could prove and seize the prize.

When they left the park and returned to the city, they were greeted by a beautiful and vibrant sunset.

Zhongbei Riverbank

"So, there really are views that can't be bought." Shao Yunshen looked across the river, then turned back. That was the first time he saw you all, wasn't it?
