Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Tang Ning was very familiar with Jiang Yin's condition.

He's had it too, or rather, who in their line of work hasn't? It's a psychological stress reaction after a major operation, similar to a sequela, and in severe cases, it requires the help of a psychologist.

Tang Ning was unaware of the details and had no way to provide appropriate guidance to Jiang Yin.

Therefore, he said to Jiang Yin, "Contact Director Yu and ask him to transfer a psychologist from the base."

Jiang Yin shook her head: "No need, it's too much trouble. It'll be fine in a few days."

"Has the transformation of Bihai begun?" Jiang Yin changed the subject.

Tang Ning replied, "We've begun. First, we'll focus on getting the exterior clean and tidy to deal with the EU delegation's inspection later this month. We'll deal with the core issues later."

"Um."

Lunch was in the cafeteria.

Jiang Yin deliberately glanced at the food serving window.

The woman who had acted strangely that day was still there, but now she wore thick glasses and her mask was pulled up high, almost covering her eyes.

Jiang Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that her two ordinary questions might scare the new employee into quitting.

I won't ask again.

Jian Tingyun wasn't there today; it was just the three of them eating together.

Li Tianmu ate a few mouthfuls of rice and said to Tang Ning and Jiang Yin, "Let's have a team building activity between our two companies next weekend."

"Where to get it?" Tang Ning swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up.

Li Tianmu pulled a crumpled flyer from his pocket and placed it in the center of the table: "Let's go to the grasslands."

"Now?" Tang Ning took the flyer and unfolded it. "Are the grass green yet? Let's go to the grasslands!"

"Not now, but next weekend, around mid-May, that should be about right." Li Tianmu took a sip of soup. "The grass might not have grown very tall yet, but it'll definitely be green, that tender green, full of life."

Tang Ning had a sudden thought: It would be a good opportunity for Jiang Yin to go out and relax, and get some time in nature; it would definitely be beneficial for her mental health.

"That's good, I can consider it. I'm leaving next Friday night, so I have time to prepare." Tang Ning pointed at the flyer and turned to Jiang Yin, "What do you think?"

"Okay." To be honest, Jiang Yin also wanted to relax. She had been feeling too tense lately, and maybe getting in touch with nature would help.

Li Tianmu put the flyer back in his pocket: "Then it's settled? We'll leave Friday night, have fun for two days on Saturday and Sunday, and return on Sunday afternoon, is that okay?"

"Okay," Jiang Yin and Tang Ning said in unison.

"Then I'll get started on the preparations," Li Tianmu said to Tang Ning. "Give me the number of people in your company, and I'll find a reliable travel agency to handle it for us."

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, young master."

........

On Saturday noon, thanks to Xie Jinxing's arrangements, a gathering finally took place again in the private room of Shuimo Lanting. Due to their busy schedules, this group hadn't gotten together for a long time. This time, however, someone was absent again: Li Tianmu didn't come.

Lin Xiyue was very happy. She hadn't seen Jian Tingyun since she met him once when she was hospitalized. Seeing him today, she felt that he paid more and more attention to his appearance, exuding a refined sense of fashion from head to toe.

Although Jian Tingyun only gave her a slight nod when he entered, and then continued discussing business with Qin Heming and Xie Jinxing, Lin Xiyue didn't care at all. Instead, she was secretly delighted: Could he have dressed up specially to see me?

Whenever she thinks of the song "Moon River," a warm, sweet feeling wells up in her heart, along with a touch of inexplicable melancholy.

"Aunt Yue, I'd like more rice." Qin Se's childish voice interrupted her thoughts.

Lin Xiyue suddenly snapped out of her daze, and a gentle smile instantly appeared on her face: "Oh, my little darling, you behaved so well today? Auntie will give you some more."

"Eat your food properly, and Dad will take me to see Uncle Jian's puppy." Qin Se licked the rice grains from the corner of her mouth and looked at Qin Heming.

Jian Tingyun smiled: "You're still thinking about it? After dinner, let's go to Uncle's house to see the puppy, okay?"

"Okay! Okay!" Qin Se slid off the chair and threw herself into Qin Heming's arms, looking at her father with longing eyes.

Qin Heming smiled and ruffled his son's hair: "Eat your food first, then we'll go."

"Great!" Qin Se jumped for joy.

Afterwards, Lin Xiyue carried him back to his chair to continue eating.

Xie Jinxing smiled and said to Jian Tingyun, "Is that dog still alive?"

"Nonsense, she's being well cared for." Jian Tingyun kicked Xie Jinxing's chair leg. "Can't you speak properly?"

Qin Heming interrupted their banter and said seriously, "This EU delegation is of a very high caliber. The accompanying businesses are all leading companies in the EU."

"That's right." Jian Tingyun put away his joke and was clearly very concerned. "I hope we can have a good reception this time and help domestic companies secure more big orders. I moved my business trip to next week to free up this time."

Qin Heming nodded: "The team leader this time, Mr. Vardis, the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, has a well-known hobby."

He paused, noticing that Xie Jinxing and Jian Tingyun were both staring intently at him, waiting for him to continue.

He smiled and, no longer keeping her in suspense, said, "Equestrianism."

"Oh, not surprising. In Europe, this is considered an aristocratic sport," Xie Jinxing said knowingly.

Qin Heming picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea: "It's different. He's very professional. When he was young, he was a semi-professional equestrian athlete. He even carried his riding boots with him when he went on business trips."

Jian Tingyun pondered for a moment: "Then shouldn't we remind Director Long to have them arrange an equestrian activity?"

"Hmm." Qin Heming agreed, then added:

"However, given Director Long's meticulousness, they should have already studied the guests' information."

After the meal, to fulfill Qin Se's wish to see the puppy, the group followed Jian Tingyun to his neighborhood.

Jian Tingyun told them to wait in the park while she went upstairs to get the dog and let it run around in the park.

The park is very large and the scenery is beautiful.

Qin Heming and his group hadn't gone far when they saw Jian Tingyun coming down carrying a small brown and yellow dog.

As soon as the puppy landed, it relieved itself on the lawn and then started running around happily.

Qin Se was immediately attracted and happily chased after him, barking loudly, "Woof woof, woof woof, play with me!"

Lin Xiyue smiled and jogged after her.

Seeing this, Jian Tingyun called out, "Huang Dou, slow down! Wait for your little brother!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Heming suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Jian Tingyun: "It's called soybean?"

"Yes." Jian Tingyun nodded. "It was given to us by our friends who were raising the animals together."

Qin Heming stared intently at Jian Tingyun: "Your friend... is a girl?"

"...Yes." Jian Tingyun looked directly into Qin Heming's eyes.

For a fleeting moment, he almost blurted out—this friend was Jiang Yin. After all, Qin Heming didn't like her, so he probably wouldn't care. But the words caught in his throat.

"Oh." Qin Heming looked at Jian Tingyun for two seconds before turning his gaze to Huang Dou.

There, the naturally friendly Huang Dou had already become friends with Qin Se and the others, and Qin Se's childish laughter carried far in the afternoon breeze.

.......

Around 9 p.m., a woman dressed in running clothes and wearing a baseball cap walked briskly towards the entrance of an upscale residential community on the outskirts of Beijing.

It was late at night, but she was wearing an inappropriate pair of sunglasses.

She walked to the front of an apartment building, paused slightly, quickly glanced around, and then slipped into the lobby.

The elevator goes directly to the twentieth floor.

It was a one-apartment-per-floor layout, and the hallway was empty. She still looked around warily before pressing her finger on the lock's recognition area.

With a soft "beep," the door was pushed open a crack, and a strong arm reached out from the darkness, pulling her into its embrace.

A passionate kiss landed immediately, accompanied by rapid breathing: "Meiyu...why are you so late? I've been waiting forever..."

"Hiss...you...wait a minute." The woman struggled, trying to push away the tall man in front of her. "I have something to say."

The man paused slightly, but did not loosen his grip; his lips remained lingering on her neck.

"He...he might already know about us," the woman said urgently in a low voice, having no other choice.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately stopped what he was doing. A two-second silence stretched in the darkness, followed by a soft laugh tinged with disdain and desire: "So what if he knows? What can he do to you now?"

Before he could finish speaking, even more violent kisses and actions came at him again.

"Yeah... there's nothing I can do..." The woman gave up resisting, and amidst her increasingly erratic breathing, she let out a response that sounded like a sigh or a moan, "Hey... Chen Mo, be gentle..."
