Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Xie Jinxing, having left Wang Qian and Lin Xiyue's conversation at some point, came to Qin Heming's side, clinked his wine glass against Qin Heming's, and pointed in Jiang Yin's direction with the hand holding the glass:

"What's wrong with her? She keeps wiping herself; did she touch something dirty?"

Qin Heming remained silent, only looking down at the wine glass in his hand.

"Hey, look!" Xie Jinxing nudged Qin Heming with his elbow. "That old iron tree is about to bloom! When have you ever seen him laughing so heartily?"

Qin Heming looked in the direction Xie Jinxing was pointing and saw Long Xingyuan smiling broadly as he chatted with Jiang Yin. The two of them each held a small plate, eating cake and talking.

Lin Xiyue also noticed Long Xingyuan's movements. Wang Qian followed her gaze, shrugged, and downed his drink in one gulp, looking indifferent. "What's so great about a beauty as cold as ice? She can't compare to Miss Lin's gentle and charming nature. A woman should be as gentle and graceful as water. I like Miss Lin's type."

Oh dear, this... this is really hard to handle! Lin Xiyue blushed and used one hand to brush away the stray hairs by her temple to hide her shyness.

As Lin Xiyue's eyes darted around, she suddenly noticed Qin Heming not far away, looking down at the wine in his glass, seemingly deep in thought. She said goodbye to Wang Qian and went to Qin Heming's side, softly asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Qin Heming looked up as if startled awake, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."

"Did you talk to her about something inappropriate?" Lin Xiyue asked after thinking it over and over again.

Qin Heming paused for a moment, then said, "Hmm?...Yes."

Lin Xiyue curled her lips: I knew it! Aside from the child, why would he talk to her? He'd be avoiding her like the plague.

The banquet continued, and soon Qin Heming and Lin Xiyue were separated again. When she looked for Qin Heming again, she found him talking to Long Xingyuan. Qin Heming was speaking, and Long Xingyuan was listening.

Lin Xiyue walked over and greeted Long Xingyuan with grace and poise: "Hello, Director Long."

Long Xingyuan nodded, his hands still in his pockets, showing no intention of shaking hands. Lin Xiyue paused for a moment, then turned her raised hand to brush a stray hair behind her ear.

Qin Heming and Long Xingyuan continued their conversation, showing no sign of stopping. Lin Xiyue stood obediently to the side, seemingly listening attentively to their talk.

He pondered to himself: This Director Long, I can't say whether he likes me or not, hmm...

After listening to their conversation for a while, which was about BSCI certification for export companies, she got bored and started looking for Jian Tingyun.

She had seen Jian Tingyun several times, but he was always communicating with different people, and she never had the chance to get to know him.

Right now, on the other side of the hall, she noticed him slightly turned to the side, listening with a smile to Ms. Zhu Wanzhou, the head of the well-known state-owned enterprise Lineng Group, speaking. His expression showed genuine familiarity and closeness.

Seeing the warm smile on his gentle face, she couldn't help but smile slightly as well.

She grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and walked briskly in that direction. The opportunity to meet that important figure was certainly something to be happy about.

She had just walked to the center of the hall when she suddenly noticed Jian Tingyun pulling President Zhu to Jiang Yin's side not far away, enthusiastically introducing them.

But the way he looked at Jiang Yin... was a tenderness she had never seen before.

Lin Xiyue paused midway, subconsciously biting her lip, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the wine glass...

Ms. Zhu Wanzhou, around fifty years old, was originally a senior colonel in the military. She was overjoyed to see Jiang Yin receive an award on stage at the annual meeting.

Now that Jian Tingyun has introduced them, he's been holding Jiang Yin's hand and looking her up and down, saying, "I wish I had a daughter like that, she's so beautiful."

Jian Tingyun chimed in, "President Jiang is quite capable. She led the team that developed all of Tianyu Technology's patents, and now she's even developing agricultural drones for our company."

"Oh, I know, I heard it all during the awards ceremony." President Zhu patted Jiang Yin's arm kindly.

"Aunt Wanzhou, does your company have any projects that we can cooperate on with General Manager Jiang's company?" Jian Tingyun took the opportunity to help Tianyu get business.

"Yes, yes, yes," President Zhu nodded repeatedly. Chong Jiangyin said, "There are quite a few. We'll talk about it in detail later."

"Okay." Jiang Yin smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jian Tingyun blinked, then added as if remembering something, "Your delivery deadline can't be too tight, President Jiang is very busy."

Ms. Zhu turned her head to look at Jian Tingyun, then looked back at Jiang Yin, her expression becoming even more amiable. "Okay, okay, no problem."

On the other side, Lin Xiyue quickly gathered her thoughts: No, impossible! Perhaps she had misjudged. Tingyun was the most magnanimous person, a person of integrity and upright character, who would never embarrass anyone. Besides, their two companies were currently collaborating, so it was normal for them to be somewhat acquainted. Tingyun would never like someone like her, yes, definitely!

After figuring this out, Lin Xiyue felt relieved, and a smile returned to her face.

As she was gracefully looking around, she noticed Li Tianmu waving in her direction. She smiled demurely, took a sip of her wine, and deliberately looked away, hoping he would come to her on his own.

Two seconds later, instead of seeing Li Tianmu come over, she saw Tang Ning walk past her and head straight for Li Tianmu. She frowned.

Then, she realized that it wasn't appropriate for her to act coy with Li Tianmu, so she turned around and walked towards Li Tianmu.

Seeing Tang Ning approach, Li Tianmu grabbed his shoulder and led him directly to Wang Qian.

"Brother Qian, this is my half-brother, Tang Ning from Tianyu Technology. We'll all be working in the industry from now on, so let's look out for each other if anything happens."

Tang Ning understood immediately, and sincerely extended her hand, "Hello, Young Master Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Wang Qian glanced at Li Tianmu, then at Tang Ning's outstretched hand. After a moment's pause, he smiled and reached out to shake hands with Tang Ning. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Tianmu said happily, "From now on, we're all good brothers. Let's go out and have fun together when we have time."

After saying goodbye to Wang Qian, Tang Ning looked steadily at Li Tianmu beside her and said, "Thank you."

Li Tianmu patted him on the back, then put his arm around his shoulder: "You're welcome."

Tang Ning looked at Li Tianmu, who was laughing carefree, and thought to herself: This landlord's foolish son... doesn't seem to be foolish after all.

Many people have switched from Dawn to Tianyu, which has always been a worry for Tang Ning. He is always concerned that this will displease the Wang family and cause trouble in the future.

In business, everyone hopes for a smooth and uneventful process, and no one wants to make enemies with a powerful family. He had always hoped to find an opportunity to resolve this. However, neither he nor Jiang Yin had been able to contact anyone from the Wang family, but now that problem was solved.

Lin Xiyue was nearby and witnessed the whole process. She had heard Wang Qian complain before that Tianyu had poached many people from Shuguang, and she had once wanted to see the Wang family deal with Tianyu. Now it seemed that Li Tianmu had resolved the situation single-handedly.

Lin Xiyue understood Wang Qian's hesitation and his eventual reconciliation. The Li family had been very powerful in the past two or three decades, and even the four traditional major families had to give them some leeway. Offending the Li family for the sake of a few employees was simply not worth it.

Lin Xiyue chuckled: So they've climbed up to the Li family, no wonder... But if I just give Li Tianmu a word and tell him to stop helping them... it'll be a piece of cake, won't it?

She pursed her lips, brought the wine glass to her lips and took a small sip. Before she could put the glass down, Shen Lan rushed towards her in a panic, "Yueyue, where's Heming? Something terrible has happened."
