Chapter 30

After walking a distance away, Chu Zilan looked at Rong Ci worriedly: "Xiao Ci..."

Rong Ci shook her head and said indifferently: "I'm fine."

From the moment Lin Lihai divorced her mother, in her heart, he was no longer her father.

What she felt bad about was that because of her, her uncle's burden had increased.

She also felt bad about Feng Tingshen's favoritism.

Thinking of how Feng Tingshen only cared about Lin Wu in his heart, acting mercilessly toward Yu Moxun and her uncle for Lin Wu's sake, never once considering her feelings, her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a knife.

It hurt so much it was bleeding.

"Xiao Ci..."

Chu Zilan hugged her with a pained heart.

Rong Ci squeezed out a smile and said nothing.

It doesn't matter.

She had already decided to move on.

As long as she was given a little time.

She could do it.

"Go get a drink?"

Chu Zilan felt that Rong Ci needed to relax a bit.

Rong Ci shook her head: "No need."

Compared to drinking, she preferred to go home and study her data.

At those times, it was easier for her to calm her mind, and easier to relax and find herself again.

Hearing Rong Ci say this, Chu Zilan did not force her.

The two headed to the parking lot, and before getting into the car, Rong Ci's phone rang.

It was a call from Feng Jingxin.

The faint smile that had just appeared on Rong Ci's face faded once again.

After a pause of two or three seconds, she answered the phone: "Hello."

Feng Jingxin asked coquettishly on the other end: "Mom, when are you coming home?"

Rong Ci didn't answer, only asking: "What's wrong?"

"I'm so bored at home alone, Mom, can you come back and keep me company?"

Dad wasn't home, Aunt Wuwu was busy, and the house was very quiet; she was so bored being home alone now.

She suddenly missed the days when her mom would chat with her, gently listening to her talk about the animations she liked and the figures she loved.

So, she called Rong Ci, hoping Rong Ci could come home to keep her company.

Listening to this, Rong Ci said indifferently: "Mom has things to do, let's do it next time."

She was her mother, and she did need to satisfy her requests as much as possible.

But she also had her own life.

She was in a bad mood right now and needed some personal time.

Feng Jingxin was a bit unhappy: "Alright then..."

"Then Mom is hanging up, call Mom if you need anything."

"Mm..."

Hanging up the phone gloomily, Feng Jingxin felt even more bored.

At this moment, Feng Tingshen returned. Seeing her like a wilted eggplant, he asked: "What's wrong?"

"I just called Mom, wanting her to come back and keep me company, but Mom said she had things to do..." She buried her beautiful, delicate face into a soft cushion: "Mom has been so busy lately."

Feng Tingshen listened, gave an "Mm," sat down on the sofa nearby, and picked up his phone to discuss business with someone, without comforting her.

But he didn't return to the study to handle work, staying here to keep her company instead, which made Feng Jingxin feel a bit better, and she happily picked up her tablet to play her puzzle games again.

On the other side.

Seeing Lin Lihai and the others return, Lin Lilan asked: "Why were you gone so long?"

Lin Lihai paused: "We ran into Xiao Ci."

"Oh? You saw her?"

Lin Lilan was beautiful and glamorous, had married well, and was a strong woman in her own right, holding a certain amount of influence in both her husband's family and the Lin family.

Speaking of the niece she hadn't seen in several years, Lin Lilan didn't show much concern, instead caring about another matter: "Did you talk to her about Lin Wu joining Chang Mo?"

Lin Lihai shook his head: "I said a few words, but she wouldn't listen."

Lin Lilan put down her coffee cup and frowned: "Xiao Ci is really... although I can understand her feeling bad about President Feng being snatched away by Lin Wu, we've all seen that President Feng; he isn't someone a woman like her, who has no features other than beauty, can deserve or hold onto. Even without Lin Wu, that President Feng would surely divorce her sooner or later."

In Lin Lilan's view, Rong Ci was just jealous that Lin Wu had snatched Feng Tingshen away, which was why she was obstructing Lin Wu's entry into Chang Mo.

Rong Ci had no ability or knowledge, only knowing how to do these unreasonable things; just thinking about it made her feel Rong Ci was ridiculous.

It was probably not just her; she feared Feng Tingshen thought the same, right?

Yet Rong Ci herself couldn't realize this point at all; perhaps even now she was still feeling smug about ruining Lin Wu's good opportunity.

Thinking of Lin Wu's excellence and then thinking of Rong Ci, Lin Lilan felt more and more that the two had no comparison.

Lin Lihai sighed: "I know."

His thoughts were the same as Lin Lilan's.

"But she won't listen."

"She really is..."

Her temperament is as stubborn as her mother's.

Lin Lilan didn't say this out loud; after all, anything involving that person was never very pleasant.

"Regarding cuap..."

"Let's wait for Lin Wu to come back and ask her about this."

Lin Lihai was also very concerned about this matter.

Over these years, they had invested quite a bit of money in the AI field, but their company's products lacked solid technology, and development had always been mediocre.

Conversely, because Chang Mo had cuap, even if their company did nothing, they could have over a hundred million in revenue just by lying down every year.

How could they not be envious?

If they could dig out the core technology of cuap and integrate the technology into their existing projects, their company would likely take off very quickly, and at that time, a market value of ten billion probably wouldn't be a problem.

Just as they were thinking this, Lin Wu returned.

Seeing Lin Lihai and his sister, she called out: "Dad, Aunt."

"Lin Wu is back?" Seeing Lin Wu return, a smile immediately appeared on Lin Lilan's face, her feelings of liking and appreciation for Lin Wu evident in her expression.

Lin Wu: "Mm." She sat down and asked: "What are you talking about?"

"Still about cuap." Lin Lihai said: "Since you can't get into Chang Mo, what are your plans now? Did President Feng say anything on his end?"

"Tingshen said he would help me contact Nan Zhizhi."

Nan Zhizhi was the premier big shot in the domestic AI field.

It was said that he was highly valued by the government, his whereabouts were kept secret, and ordinary people couldn't see him.

Yu Moxun was one of the few direct students of Nan Zhizhi, and it was said that cuap was developed by Nan Zhizhi.

Since the path through Yu Moxun wasn't working, they had to try starting from Nan Zhizhi's side.

"That's good." Lin Lihai smiled, but was also a bit worried: "Yu Moxun is Nan Zhizhi's student; if he says something bad about you to Nan Zhizhi, will this matter..."

"That shouldn't happen." Lin Lilan laughed: "Brother, you don't know this, but it's said that Mr. Nan Zhizhi values talent the most. Our Lin Wu is a genius; as long as Lin Wu has the opportunity to meet Nan Zhizhi, with Lin Wu's talent in the AI field, she will surely gain Mr. Nan's appreciation. At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for Mr. Nan to make an exception and take Lin Wu as a direct student."

Lin Lihai smiled: "That's true."

Lin Lilan asked again: "Then did President Feng say roughly when you can see Mr. Nan?"

Lin Wu took a sip of water and said indifferently: "The tech exhibition next week; it's said Mr. Nan will attend."

They naturally knew about the tech exhibition.

It was just that their company's level in this field wasn't high enough to get the exhibition quota distributed by the government.

However, with Feng Tingshen there, it's estimated—

Thinking of this, Lin Lihai and Lin Lilan looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu said: "Tingshen gave me two tickets, but there are only two—"

"It's fine, it doesn't matter which of us goes with you; what's important is that you must go."

Lin Lilan laughed: "Exactly."
