"What did you say?"

Shen Mingzhou suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with shock.

The assistant continued, "The reason they terminated the cooperation was because Ming'an Group stole the research of the scientific research luminary He Xing. They felt that Ming'an Group lacked credibility, so..."

"The news has already caused a stir online, and the hype is still rising; even the stock market is still falling rapidly."

"The area downstairs is now surrounded by reporters, all demanding to see you."

Shen Mingzhou's face was ashen white.

He lost all interest in pursuing Yan Xuxu and had his assistant call another meeting.

However, the crisis was far from over. Shen Mingzhou received a call from Mu Nan, "President Shen, let's end the cooperation between the Xie family and Ming'an Group here."

Under the double blow, Shen Mingzhou swayed and trembled all over. "No, Assistant Mu, it's all a misunderstanding."

"I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with our research. As for why it collided with He Xing, I really have no idea."

"Please give us another chance, Mr. Xie. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mu Nan's attitude was cold and hard. "President Jie said that he only cares about the results, and he doesn't care about the process."

"Alright, I'll send the termination agreement to your email. Mr. Shen, you'd better take care of yourself."

The phone call was cut off.

Hearing the "beep beep beep" of the phone being hung up, Shen Mingzhou staggered back a few steps.

Su Wanqing rushed over to support him, equally incredulous. "Yan Xuxu just left, and the client canceled the cooperation right afterward. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"Ah Zhou, all of this was definitely Yan Xuxu's deliberate scheme; she's taking revenge on us."

"Get out of here!"

Shen Mingzhou, like a maddened beast, pushed her away with disgust. "If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have let Xuxu down and done so many things to hurt her?"

He used considerable force, and Su Wanqing was pushed forward, losing her balance and falling heavily to the ground.

"Shen Mingzhou, I'm pregnant! How could you do this to me?"

Su Wanqing burst into tears.

Although she managed to save the baby last time, the doctor said she needed to rest and recover, so she stayed in the hospital until yesterday before being discharged.

She should be careful about her mood when she gets home, so as to avoid too much emotional fluctuation that could affect the baby and cause another miscarriage.

These past few days, Shen Mingzhou has not only been preoccupied with her, but he has also been staying out all night, and now he's even making a move on her.

Su Wanqing was plunged into endless despair, and screamed at him with heart-wrenching pain.

Shen Mingzhou had no time for him. With a cold face, he said ruthlessly, "If anything happens to the company, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, not caring whether Su Wanqing was alright.

……

As soon as Yan Xuxu stepped out of the elevator, she saw Zhou Li'an waiting at the door of her office.

After a few days apart, Zhou Li'an looked much more haggard.

I don't know if it's because of too much work pressure or something else, but I have very dark circles under my eyes and don't look as energetic as before.

"Senior, I'd like to talk to you."

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes showed obvious sadness as he looked at her.

Standing at the doorway chatting would attract too much attention, so Yan Xuxu nodded, "Come in and chat."

The door closed, and Yan Xuxu gestured for him to sit down.

Zhou Li'an stared at her radiant appearance, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.

The two remained silent for a long time. Just as Yan Xuxu was about to speak, Zhou Li'an asked, "Was the person who helped the senior reply to her WeChat messages a few days ago a friend of hers?"

Shen Mingzhou was working overtime at the company that day.

He's encountered it before.

Therefore, that person could not possibly be Shen Mingzhou.

The thought of his senior having suitors made Zhou Li'an feel uneasy.

He has been depressed these past few days and hasn't come to work.

friend?

What about her and Jie Lanyuan?

Yan Xuxu herself couldn't figure it out, so she just replied, "Mm."

Since the topic had come up, Yan Xuxu decided to be blunt: "Xiao An, a boy as outstanding as you shouldn't waste his time on me."

Leaving aside her complicated relationship with Xie Lanyuan, she also had entanglements with Shen Mingzhou.

She didn't even know who the man she married was.

Xie Lanyuan is such a stubborn person, once Zhou Li'an gets close to her, he might do something outrageous.

Yan Xuxu didn't want Zhou Li'an to get into trouble because of this.

Zhou Li'an knew he had no hope.

One is Shen Mingzhou.

He might still have a chance if he tries.

But when it comes to understanding Lan Yuan, he is no match for him.

"Can I still be friends with my senior?" Zhou Li'an felt extremely depressed and uncomfortable, but he held back.

I've liked my senior for so many years.

I've been following in her footsteps to Ming'an Group for so many years.

If it suddenly ends like this, he will find it hard to accept.

Yan Xuxu smiled slightly, "Of course, let's keep in touch."

"Later?" Zhou Li'an sensed the deeper meaning in those words and looked suspicious.

Yan Xuxu replied truthfully, "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back."

Zhou Li'an was taken aback. "Why so suddenly?"

"Actually, I've had this plan for a long time, but today just happened to be the right day." She smiled faintly, her red dress making her look fiery, sexy, and charming.

Zhou Li'an was slightly dazed.

He already knew that He Xing's paper had passed peer review.

News of Ming'an Group's alleged theft of Hexing Research has spread online, damaging Ming'an Group's reputation and causing its stock price to plummet.

Yan Xuxu chose to resign at this time.

Could this be the opportunity she was talking about?

Knowing he shouldn't ask, he couldn't help but ask, "May I be so bold as to ask, senior, what are your and President Shen's plans for the future?"

The entire R&D department knew about Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing's affair.

Everyone regarded Su Wanqing as the president's wife.

This is not fair to the senior student.

Yan Xuxu looked into his eyes and smiled frankly, "What you really want to ask is whether Shen Mingzhou and I will get a divorce, right?"

Zhou Li'an nodded in agreement, "He's not good enough for my senior."

Yes.

I'm not good enough for you.

So she didn't want it anymore.

But she still answered the question, "He is him, and I am me."

A look of determination flashed across Zhou Li'an's forlorn eyes. "Since my senior is leaving, I think I should leave too."

I came here because of my senior.

The senior students are all leaving.

There's no point in keeping it.

Yan Xuxu always felt that it was beneath Zhou Li'an to stay at Ming'an Group; someone as talented as him deserved a better future.

Let yourself shine even brighter.

Therefore, she supported his decision.

Before leaving the office, a hint of reluctance flashed in Zhou Li'an's eyes. "Senior, may I hug you?"

Yan Xuxu was slightly taken aback.

He further explained, "It was just a hug from a regular friend, please don't misunderstand, senior."

"Can."

Yan Xuxu took the initiative to open her arms to him.

Zhou Li'an took a step forward.

The two embraced briefly, and five seconds later, Zhou Li'an gentlemanly released them.

As soon as he left, Yan Xuxu turned on her computer, edited a resignation letter, and sent it to Shen Mingzhou's email address.

After handing over some work, I took my bag and left Ming'an Group.

At the same time, Zhou Li'an's resignation letter was also delivered to Su Wanqing.
