After paying her husband for five years, she turned around and married into a wealthy family with bi

Chapter 16.1 He took her sacrifices for granted; only after she left did he realize the cost.

Why?

Because of the repeated humiliations and indifference, Gu Beiting pushed her away.

She turned and walked towards the residential building.

Gu Beiting frowned helplessly: "You've been away from home for so many days, just staying here? You really are... You have food, drink, and a housekeeper at home, yet you moved here, refusing to go home!"

"And what about you?"

Yun An asked.

Gu Beiting felt a little awkward.

He was pretty sure Yun'an didn't know he'd been to Macau with Xu Niaoniao these past few days, so he forced a smile and said, "Of course, I'm still staying at our house."

Yun An continued, "Then please go home now. We should take legal action if necessary, and stop bothering us!"

"What did you say?" Gu Beiting immediately emphasized, "Yun An, I am your husband."

Really? This husband of his is always embracing other women, letting them act like they're his wife and bossing him around, even kissing other women in bars.

Yun An couldn't tell from any of his appearance that he was her husband.

Yun An laughed in exasperation: "In your heart, am I your wife? I'm asking about your heart."

While the man was momentarily stunned, Yun An gently pulled her hand away and entered the elevator.

The man didn't have an elevator card, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Gu Beiting returned to the company. After all, experience counts, and he summoned the strongest legal team overnight. After reviewing the entire process, Gu Beiting's lawyers suggested that negotiations be conducted since Yun An's withdrawal of the patent transfer was also reasonable and legal.

Furthermore, they used various methods to find out that Yun An had been submitting resumes everywhere.

Gu Beiting only then learned that Lin Xiaowei had forced HR to fire Yun An while he was away.

Based on Yun An's recent actions, Gu Beiting concluded that her unusual behavior was due to the company's inhumane treatment of her when she was detained for fixing a software bug, resulting in her not being able to see her grandmother one last time.

From Gu Beiting's perspective, he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.

Although Yun An was on leave and had fallen ill, the interests of the group should take precedence, and besides, he was her husband, so she should put him first.

After discussing it with his lawyer, he realized that Yun'an's determination to reclaim the patent was precisely for the sake of better employment.

In response to this motive, Gu Beiting's lawyer proactively contacted Yun An's lawyer.

The two sides eventually reached a settlement.

Yun An agreed to a settlement. Gu Beiting offered very attractive terms: 2000 million yuan annually in patent royalties to continue using her patents.

This also allows her to add the patent to her resume, making it her personal property, but on the condition that it cannot be used by other competing companies during the period of use by their company, or that the patent cannot be used for market competition.

Tong Chun meant that although the other party's behavior was somewhat selfish, if things really escalated to the point of going to court and leaving the other party with no way out, it would also affect Yun An's future career.

Nowadays, large companies conduct background checks. Her sudden departure from the company and taking away crucial patents is very detrimental to the trust of her next company.

Yun'an signed the authorization contract and received 2000 million yuan from Gu Beiting's company that afternoon.

These twenty million,

cost-effective.

For Gu Beiting, it was a great deal; he used 20 million to weather the crisis of his game being taken down and his company being dissolved.

It's quite a good deal for Yun'an too.

She applied for this patent when she was in college. When she first joined the company, which was a startup, she automatically included the patent in the company's early projects. Later, when the company went public, she also wrote a transfer agreement at Gu Beiting's request.

I haven't given her a single penny to this day.

Twenty million a year, although it is what she deserves, is also hard-earned.

She had been giving so much, but Gu Beiting took it all for granted. Now that she had come to her senses, she turned and left. Only then did Gu Beiting realize that her efforts had value, and value that was extremely high.

Yun An indirectly proved herself, showing that she was not someone he could easily manipulate.

Yun An immediately included the patent certificates and project details in her resume. With this endorsement, she was different from her previous self who only had a bachelor's degree.

However, she didn't intend to submit another resume. Since she had already agreed to Xie Xianyu's offer, she should go and work for his company.

She opened WeChat and sent a message to Xie Xianyu.

The handover has been completed, but the patent has been temporarily leased out. Senior, do you mind?

Xie Xianyu replied quickly: "I don't mind. I value you as a person, and I believe you will definitely have even better game design patents."

Soon, Yun An joined Xie Xianyu's company.

It is an entire floor of office space in a commercial building in the city center.

Yun An represented her school in a game programming competition before she was even twenty, which shows her talent and strength. Unfortunately, for the past five years, she has devoted herself to her relationship and marriage with Gu Beiting.

In addition, Gu Beiting's many decisions were arbitrary and autocratic, which actually had an inhibitory effect on her personal development.

She had to give up her favorite part of the job for Gu Beiting and instead do more basic work, which was both mentally and physically exhausting. Later, she also had to give up her authority because of Gu Beiting's decision.

Fortunately, she has now joined Xie Xianyu's company. Xie Xianyu is very clear about Yun An's strengths and has arranged a position that best suits her.

Yun An also picked it up very quickly.

When it was time to leave work, Xie Xianyu suggested, "Let me treat you to a meal to celebrate your first day at work."

Yun An nodded in agreement.

Xie Xianyu is actually very handsome, with the looks of a traditional handsome man. Behind his thin glasses are a pair of captivating eyes. However, because of his poor family background, he did not spend his college years dating like other handsome men. To this day, Yun'an has not heard of any women around him.

However, based on her woman's intuition, Yun'an felt that many of her female colleagues in the company secretly harbored feelings for him.

Especially his female assistant, Li Chun.

After Xie Xianyu and Yun An left, Li Chun came out, her eyes filled with anger at Yun An's rise to power.

We arrived at the restaurant.

Yun An realized that this was a romantic Western restaurant, and the restaurant was mostly filled with young couples.

She thought that she and Xie Xianyu were not in that kind of relationship at all, so she was about to refuse, but Xie Xianyu saw through her and immediately said, "This restaurant has the best environment in the area. I've wanted to try it for a long time. Even if you're not free today, I will come by myself."

Since Yun An had already agreed, she said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal to thank my senior for the job opportunity."

Xie Xianyu was afraid she would leave, so he outwardly agreed.

As soon as the two sat down, Yun An suddenly noticed two familiar figures not far away.

Yun An never expected to run into Gu Beiting and Xu Niaoniao.

Xu Niaoniao was throwing a tantrum at Gu Beiting: "Beiting, she made such a scene, and you still gave her twenty million?"

Yun An could tell that she was referring to the patent.

What Yun An heard, Xie Xianyu also heard. He frowned, looked at Yun An, and said softly, "That seems to be President Gu. And who is the person next to President Gu?"

Xie Xianyu knew the relationship between Yun An and Gu Beiting. Yun An said she was preparing for a divorce, not that she had already divorced. Now, seeing Gu Beiting openly bringing a glamorous woman to a Western restaurant and eating intimately, Xie Xianyu suddenly understood the reason for her divorce.

However, Yun An indicated to him that it was alright, and she replied, "That's Gu Beiting's goddess."
