After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Internal Exam Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Internal Exam Shi Lian sat on the other side of the sofa, facing President Kang, whose expression was as unpleasant as Dai Qiu’s.

Upon seeing Liu Su enter, President Kang abruptly stood up.

“Dai Qiu,” he began, “Yanyan only took the endorsements that were allocated to the company. The rest she earned on her own, and there is no act of snatching involved. Whether Shi Lian wishes to establish her own agency or join another company after not renewing with Xinyu, that is not our concern. However, the revenue from the scripts Shi Lian took on while with Xinyu must belong to Xinyu. That is clearly stated in the contract. Now you want to fight for these profits. Are you expecting Xinyu to play the fool here?”

Dai Qiu looked straight at Liu Su. “After all Shi Lian has done for the company, Xinyu still wants to take even the smallest benefit from her. Isn’t that a bit too unreasonable?” he said.

After finishing his words, Dai Qiu’s gaze met Shen Yan, who was outside.

Dai Qiu’s glance was fleeting, immediately withdrawing it.

Shen Yan was standing outside, waiting without getting involved.

It was just that Dai Qiu suddenly brought up her name, and so she had to stand there and listen.

Liu Su was now the behind-the-scenes boss of Xinyu, and President Kang was merely the deputy president present.

As soon as Liu Su spoke, President Kang merely sat there watching.

Shi Lian glanced at Shen Yan, and then stood up. “Brother Qiu, there’s no need to fight over these profits. Let’s consider it as though there were no such fate between me and Xinyu.”

Having said that, Shi Lian refrained from arguing any further and turned to leave.

Dai Qiu frowned slightly, not wanting to give up just yet.

“Brother Qiu, let’s go,” Shi Lian said, reaching the door and calling out again.

With his face looking rather unpleasant, Dai Qiu glanced at President Kang and Liu Su, then turned and followed Shi Lian out.

As Shi Lian passed by Shen Yan, she nodded slightly at her and then swiftly departed.

After the uncomfortable separation, Dai Qiu and Shi Lian returned to the set.

Once in the car, Dai Qiu’s expression grew even more unsightly. “Why give up the profits that rightfully belong to you? Even if we stick to the original contract, we have a good chance of winning.”

“I don’t want to waste time with Xinyu,” Shi Lian pressed her temples. “The other day, he called me again.”

Dai Qiu furrowed his brows. “Mu Jincheng?”

“His media company has just been established, and he’s promised many benefits.”

“Haven’t we also discussed benefits with Xinyu before? And what happened in the end?”

“Xinyu only sought to squeeze the last bit of profit from me. Other times they’ve been good enough. But now Xinyu has Shen Yan, with all resources prioritized for her. If I stay at Xinyu, there is simply no chance for me to get ahead. The circumstances are different with Mu Jincheng’s newly established company, and I can negotiate quite a few conditions with him.”

Dai Qiu’s expression became grave. “Have you forgotten who his girlfriend is?”

“Sooner or later, Chu Jinghe will marry into the Mu Family. In such a prominent household, do you think they will allow her to constantly make public appearances?” Shi Lian said with a slight smile. “I’ve met Madam Mu, and with her kind of personality, she absolutely wouldn’t allow Chu Jinghe to manage both sides adequately.”

Dai Qiu: “This is a risky bet to take.”

Shi Lian shook her head. “Let’s put it this way, if they don’t get married, their future conflicts will certainly be numerous.”

“In that case, don’t you think it would be even more impactful?”

Shi Lian looked at Dai Qiu, confidently saying, “Brother Qiu, you still don’t quite understand women. Chu Jinghe’s ambition definitely doesn’t stop here.”

Dai Qiu was silent for a while.

Shi Lian continued, “Brother Qiu, come with me tomorrow to meet Young Master Mu.”

Dai Qiu’s contract had also expired, and he had not mentioned renewing with Xinyu.

Shi Lian did not want a change of agents.

Shen Yan stood by the window, watching their car leave. After a long while, she retracted her gaze and looked towards Liu Su, who had come out: “Any trouble?”

“No,” Liu Su replied: “Shall I have someone take you home first?”

“I’ll go back on my own,” Shen Yan raised her chin slightly, “President Kang seems to have a lot to discuss with Uncle Liu. I’ll take my leave now.”

Shen Yan drove off alone. On the way, she received a call from an unknown number.

A male voice came through, “Is this Shen Yan, the student?”

“I am, may I ask who’s calling?”

“I am a professor at the Beijing Research Institute, my last name is Lin.”

Shen Yan was startled and remembered that she had submitted a document with her signature and left her contact information.

“Hello, Professor Lin!”

“We have already studied the document you sent over and have verified the authenticity of your theory and report. Our institute would like to invite you to participate in an internal examination; I wonder if Shen Yan has the time and interest.”

“An internal examination?” This was the first time Shen Yan had heard of it.

“Our research institute is different from other institutes,” Professor Lin explained, “We are formally inviting Shen Yan to join!”

“I have a very tight schedule…”

“The internal examination can be arranged at any time; our institute will accommodate your personal schedule. If you manage to join our institute, benefits will be allocated one by one based on individual achievements!”

The sincerity in the speaker’s voice increased noticeably, clearly hoping that Shen Yan would join them.

Shen Yan had only sent the document, and whether she truly had the capability, they could only decide after inviting her to take the test.

Hence the so-called internal examination.

Failing the internal examination would prove that Shen Yan was not capable, and the information she had sent would be considered to have been stolen from someone else.

As soon as the other party mentioned the examination, Shen Yan understood what they were getting at.

“The institute’s benefits, I naturally won’t doubt. How about this, Professor Lin, I’ll find some time to make a trip to Beijing after a while?” By sending that document, Shen Yan was indeed looking to get involved in this particular field.

Therefore, Shen Yan did not refuse the so-called internal examination.

Professor Lin paused for a moment and then quickly agreed, telling Shen Yan to call him on this number when the time came.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan had no idea how the institute had reacted, but on her end, she slightly squinted her eyes and began to strategize.

In the evening.

Shen Yan received a call from Shen Zheng.

He had arrived in Shen City, and the siblings decided to go out for dinner together.

Shen Yan wasn’t averse to her older brother; initially, she had avoided seeing him because she didn’t know how to face him.

Since their last encounter, Shen Yan had grown quite fond of him.

When he suggested they have dinner together, she happily agreed.

“Yanyan, do you want me to drive you there?” Liu Su knew Shen Yan was going to have dinner with Shen Zheng and asked as he followed behind her.

“I can drive myself,” Shen Yan refused.

“Is the place you picked secluded enough?”

Shen Zheng was well aware of her situation. “Big Brother will make sure of it.”

Liu Su then found no excuse to accompany her.

Juhai Pavilion.

A high-end restaurant.

Two sedans arrived one after the other.

The first to get out of the black sedan in front was a tall figure; closely following, a slender figure emerged and, upon seeing the man in front, Shi Lian smiled slightly, “Young Master Mu, what a coincidence that we arrive at our destination one after the other.”

Behind Shi Lian was Dai Qiu.

Ever since Mu Jincheng announced his relationship with Chu Jinghe, he had begun to take over the family business and had planned the strategy for a new company.

He had created this company entirely for the sake of Chu Jinghe and as a precaution for the future.

Bringing Shi Lian into the picture was no accident.
