Chapter 77: I Have No Feelings for Him

~8 min read 1,425 words

New Edge Technology Company is a technology company that has developed abroad in recent years. Its momentum is very strong, and it is committed to high-tech research and development, artificial biological factors, and realizing human body self-healing and regeneration, including anti-cancer drugs, AI research and development, cell therapy, etc.

Qin Shu has always paid close attention to this industry. Back then, she entered the entertainment industry for Gu Tingyan, entering his company, hoping to be closer to him.

Who knew that in a year at the company, she wouldn't even see Gu Tingyan a few times.

Yet technology, the pharmaceutical industry, hacker technology, and AI development were the things Qin Shu was actually most interested in.

Qin Shu looked up at him: "I remember, your company only recruits doctoral students."

Ji Yanli: "That is true, but you are an exception."

"You are the student the teacher values most, having followed Aunt Qin and Grandpa Qin to study medicine since you were young; you are certainly no worse than them."

"What's more, the core journal article you published in college is still being brought out for research to this day."

Ji Yanli said sincerely: "Xiao Hua, do you want to join us?"

Qin Shu's heart stirred. Looking at the stack of materials in her hand, something in her chest seemed to be gushing out, just like when they were in the laboratory, breaking through one difficult experiment after another; that kind of joy and excitement appeared in Qin Shu once again.

Qin Shu said: "Okay."

Anyway, she was going to divorce Gu Tingyan soon, so she wouldn't have to revolve around him anymore and could go do the things she wanted to do.

This film by Director Chen would likely be the last film of her life.

Ji Yanli's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with a smile: "I knew you were still the same Xiao Hua from back then."

"When I met you at your house at age eight, you were already following behind Grandpa Qin and Aunt Qin like a little tail, learning medicine."

Eight-year-old Ji Yanli could be considered little Qin Shu's first patient.

Because he had been kidnapped, he suffered from a severe psychological illness. Aunt Qin was treating him, and little Qin Shu also treated him as her own patient.

Later, his illness was effectively treated at the Qin Family.

Qin Shu also looked at him and smiled; to her, Ji Yanli was someone who existed like an older brother.

Excluding Grandma and Tuanzi, Ji Yanli was one of the few people around her she had known for so many years.

Ji Yanli looked at Qin Shu: "The teacher should be coming back soon."

"He is coming back this time to select talent."

Qin Shu was startled, her gaze dimming, and she said with a faint smile: "I don't know if that old man is still angry."

Ji Yanli chuckled and raised his hand to ruffle Qin Shu's hair: "If he knew you could return to the industry you love, he would definitely be happy."

Qin Shu: "Mm."

Ji Yanli unwrapped the fruit for her, picked up a fork, and speared a piece of watermelon for Qin Shu: "Try it, it should be quite sweet."

Qin Shu took it and put it in her mouth; it was indeed very sweet.

The two ate fruit while chatting about hot topics in the industry. Qin Shu asked Ji Yanli quite a few questions in a row. After they finished talking, Ji Yanli looked down at his watch: "It's getting late, I'll head back first."

Qin Shu stood up to see him off: "Take it slow on the road."

"Mm."

Qin Shu closed the room door and looked at the empty room and the stack of materials on the table; a surge of warmth inexplicably welled up in her chest.

If she didn't film in the future, she could still rely on herself to give her son a better life.

The next day.

Qin Shu was woken up by the sound of police sirens downstairs. She opened her eyes to reach for her phone and saw it was only 7 o'clock. She got up to wash, and messages kept popping up in the residents' group on WeChat.

"What a sin, I don't know which god-forsaken person splashed dog blood at my door!"

"It was splashed on my door too!"

"Don't let me catch them!"

Qin Shu saw these messages, clicked in to look, and saw the floors where several residents lived, and she paused; these were the floors she had pressed last night.

Qin Shu's expression changed slightly; she probably knew this was the Jiang Family's handiwork for revenge.

The police arrived and retrieved the surveillance footage to investigate. In the footage, two men had their faces completely covered and were wrapped up tightly, and the license plate number was a fake.

This was a premeditated criminal act!

Qin Shu's feeling last night was not wrong; someone was indeed following her.

Qin Shu's heart jumped violently. She knew who it was, but without evidence, there was no way to convict anyone.

Qin Shu subconsciously wanted to call Gu Tingyan, but the moment the phone number was pressed, she stopped.

Qin Shu was stunned; she didn't expect that when she encountered danger, her first reaction would actually be to want to tell Gu Tingyan.

She pursed her lips and dialed the police officer handling the Jiang Wenzhou case, telling him about what happened in the residential complex and her own suspicions.

The voice on the other end was serious: "Be careful lately. They didn't find an opportunity to strike this time, so there's no guarantee there won't be a next time."

"Does your husband know?"

Qin Shu lowered her eyes and said: "He and I have no feelings for each other."

Qin Shu didn't mention the divorce. Her marriage to Gu Tingyan had to be handled low-key; it couldn't affect the Gu Family's stock market. Even if they divorced, she wouldn't let outsiders know.

Lu Ziqian's methods in lawsuits were always ruthless. This time, Jiang Wenzhou's sentence was considered heavy. Since the Jiang Family couldn't touch Lu Ziqian, they would definitely look for Qin Shu to vent their anger.

"Mm, then take care of your own safety. If anything happens, call the police."

"Mm, thank you, Officer Li."

Officer Li hung up the phone. Thinking of Qin Shu's identity, he still made a call to Gu Tingyan and briefly told him about the matter.

After Gu Tingyan heard Officer Li finish speaking, he clicked his tongue twice: "Why didn't she call me, but called you instead?"

Officer Li felt his scalp tingle and hurriedly explained: "Your wife said that she and you have no feelings for each other."

"That's why she called me."

Just as he finished saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone with a "clack."

She said she has no feelings for you.

Gu Tingyan kept replaying this sentence in his mind, and the expression on his face grew colder and colder.

All day long, Gu Group was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere; today, President Gu looked even more terrifying than before.

A project department manager stood in the office and was scolded until he was drenched in blood; Gu Tingyan's face was icy cold as he threw the documents at him: "The project you've done is full of loopholes! What do I pay you all for!"

"Take it back and redo it!"

"If you can't do it, then get out!"

Cold sweat covered the department manager's forehead; President Gu had pointed out three places that they had all overlooked.

"Yes, President Gu, we will take it back and redo it immediately!"

The chief secretary watched as the department manager walked out with a terrified look on his face; she stood at the doorway holding printed documents, trembling with fear, and looked anxiously at A Zhong beside her: "What is wrong with the President?"

"It's early in the morning, did he eat gunpowder?"

In the past, President Gu was also strict, but he had never been this terrifying; just listening to him was frightening, like a devil.

A Zhong stood still and said with an expressionless face: "A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it's impossible to guess."

Chief Secretary: "........."

When Gu Tingyan held a meeting, all the staff reporting their work mustered ten thousand percent of their focus, watching President Gu's expression while they reported, terrified of making any mistakes.
