Chapter 143: Poaching Talent

Chu Sheng gripped the stack of documents tightly, a sharp glint in her eyes.

Qin Shu had been dead for four years, yet Gu Tingyan still could not forget her.

If she could recruit Lynn into the Chu Group, then her marriage to Gu Tingyan would be even more secure.

And Gu Tingyan would also look at her in a new light!

Chu Sheng looked up at Chu Xuanming, a smile of certain victory on her lips: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely recruit Lynn into our company."

"A company like Xinrui, which has only emerged in the last few years, still has a gap compared to our Chu Family."

Any smart person knows how to make a choice; as long as the money is offered, Chu Sheng does not believe this Lynn won't be tempted.

Chu Xuanming looked at Chu Sheng, his proudest daughter; since she took over the Chu Group four years ago, the Chu Family's annual performance had doubled.

Chu Sheng had proven her ability with her own strength, consolidating her position in Chu Xuanming's heart.

Chu Xuanming naturally trusted Chu Sheng.

After all, Chu Sheng was his only future successor and heir.

Chu Sheng emerged from her father's chairman office and then tossed the file to the assistant beside her: "Go find out right now what this Lynn's specific address is, as well as her life story and experiences, including the people in her family."

Chu Sheng ordered with a calm expression: "Also, what are her hobbies, what dishes does she like to eat—I need to know everything, down to the smallest detail."

Ever since Qin Shu died, she had taken over the Chu Family's company, and now her way of doing things had become increasingly mature and skillful; she looked just like a successful, wealthy, and beautiful female CEO.

Four years ago, everyone mocked Chu Sheng for being a mistress who couldn't see the light of day; four years later, people only remembered her as the successor to the Chu Group and the future head of the Chu Family.

Chu Sheng had even won the admiration and love of many fans; a woman like this, who fought for her career, was beautiful, and had means, was very popular with her fans, who could directly ignore her past behavior of knowingly being a mistress.

People would not remember that she had been a mistress; her success would only win her the admiration and sighs of more women.

And that dead first wife of Gu Tingyan—hardly anyone even remembered her.

Following the first wife's death, her fans had scolded Chu Sheng quite a bit over these four years, but she simply ignored the haters, and the haters felt it was pointless and couldn't be bothered to scold her anymore.

As time passed, how many people still remembered Qin Shu?

She was like a speck of dust, drifting with the wind, gradually floating toward the distance, fading in everyone's memory, and then disappearing completely.

It was as if she had never appeared in this world at all.

That first wife was also a beauty with a tragic fate.

It was a pity that no one remembered her anymore.

The assistant looked at the woman before her, at the transformation that had taken place step by step over these four years, and could not help but sigh in her heart that President Chu was truly formidable.

No wonder Gu Tingyan liked her; even though he was married, he still cheated on his beautiful first wife, and now, the two of them could be considered to have achieved a happy ending.

If it were her, she would also like this kind of career-driven, strong woman—beautiful, with a good figure, and someone who brought prestige when taken out.

The assistant took the file, lowered her head, and respectfully replied: "Yes."

Assistant Xiaomi gripped the stack of documents; she had searched the internet for all information related to Lynn, but she hadn't found any information on Lynn at all.

Xiaomi looked at the computer screen and whispered: "For a national-level big shot like this, their identity is always very mysterious."

The only news she found was that Lynn would attend a banquet for Xinrui Technology in a few days and hold a press conference.

And she needed to find relevant information on Lynn before then, to help her boss poach the person before the banquet.

For a national-level big shot like this, her online identity was definitely classified, so she would have to find a private investigator to look into it, and she would have to find an authoritative professional.

Xiaomi made the call, and the other side answered quickly; after hearing Xiaomi's description, they were silent for a moment and then directly quoted a price: "I want three million."

Xiaomi was shocked: "You're asking for an exorbitant price!"

The other party responded: "Then you can also wait until the day Lynn holds her press conference to show up."

"The internet is currently flooded with news about her; I think you are also clear about who is behind her."

"Investigating her is very difficult; her information is almost military-grade classified, and to the outside world, she is as good as dead."

"If we investigate her and it involves classified information, others will treat us as spies, and that means going to jail!"

Xiaomi couldn't make the decision and could only say: "Let me ask for instructions."

"Fine, I'll wait for your news."

"Click," the other side hung up quickly.

Xiaomi immediately called Chu Sheng; three million—such a large sum of money was not something she could move just by saying so.

"This person is very famous in terms of tracking."

After listening and weighing the pros and cons, Chu Sheng said: "Give it to him."

If she could poach Lynn, let alone three million, even thirty billion would be a small price to pay.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Xiaomi said: "Okay."

Xiaomi's palms were covered in a layer of sweat; she felt like she was doing something very terrifying because she felt a sense of dread toward this Lynn.

To have researched an Anti-cancer drug at such a young age—the interests and value behind this person were absolutely incalculable.

It was absolutely impossible that only the Chu Group would want to snatch her.

Just what kind of big shot was this person to be so formidable? It truly inspired respect and admiration.

Xiaomi received the transfer and immediately transferred it to the other party.

The other party received the money and replied: "Wait for my news."

The man received the transfer, and upon seeing the payment, he immediately put down the mouse in his hand and turned to look at someone in the corner: "Boss, someone wants to investigate Lynn."

"Could this person be a spy from another country?"

"Trying to steal China's secrets?"

Who is Lynn?

Now, there is no one who doesn't know this big shot's name; she appeared out of nowhere like Sun Wukong, becoming a household name almost overnight.

That is a key national protection target.

The man sat in the corner with his legs crossed, his voice low: "Who?"

"Chu Sheng, of the China Chu Family."

Upon hearing this name, the man raised an eyebrow faintly, a bewitching smile curling at the corners of his lips: "The Chu Family."

"That is an old acquaintance."

"Stall her for a few days."

"Do not give it to her."

"Ah, but I have already taken the money."

"In our line of work, credit is what matters most."

The man stood up, his handsome face appearing devilish, and said indifferently: "That is correct, but for everyone in the Chu Family, there is no need to keep one's word."

"Yes, Boss."

Beijing.

Qin Shu bought a villa in Beijing, very close to Ji Yanli's home, and incidentally enrolled Nangong Jin in school.

Nangong Jin raised her hand in protest: "Mom, can I go straight to the first grade?"

"I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore; my classmates are really boring."

"I have a generation gap with them."
