Chapter 925: Extra Episode 366: The End_2 Chapter 925: Extra Episode 366: The End_2 Alice was stopped by Yang Lin and failed to inquire at the manager’s office.

But as soon as the internship list was released, all these interns noticed the issue with Yang Lin.

Yang Lin had indeed performed excellently at her workstation, and everyone recognized her merits, yet she had not appeared on the list for permanent employment, inevitably linking this issue to Yao Xintian.

For a time, there was excessive sympathy for Yang Lin.

Even Yong Shu, unusually, sent Yang Lin a message on WeChat.

Yong Shu: “You should intern at another company.”

Yong Shu: “I am thinking of your best interests.”

As Yang Lin looked at these two messages, her finger hovered over Yong Shu’s name, recalling their past meetings when he was young and full of ambition, and how he had been passed over for promotions twice in two years, Yong Shu was also anxious.

No one is content with mediocrity.

Yang Lin calmly pressed the “delete” button.

Afternoon.

Two rows of bodyguards were stationed at the company’s main entrance, with the chairman, shareholders, and senior managers from various departments all standing on the first floor, waiting to receive someone.

This scene set the company’s internal chat groups abuzz.

Some were constantly monitoring the activity on the first floor.

Employees on the 17th floor gathered in groups, discussing animatedly as Alice, invigorated, stood next to Yang Lin, updating her with the latest developments, “An eyewitness said, it’s a middle-aged man, but the chairman has banned taking photos.”

Yang Lin was still dealing with her work.

On hearing this, she nodded slightly.

Twenty minutes later, colleagues from the corridor excitedly ran in, “Everyone get ready, he’s here! The chairman is bringing him up to the 17th floor for inspection!”

A large group emerged from two elevators.

All the 17th-floor employees were gathered by their manager in the open rest area outside the corridor.

Leading them was a middle-aged man who looked silent.

Accompanying him were two plain-clothed individuals, not ordinary bodyguards as their waists bulged, possibly concealing guns.

Escorting him was none other than their company chairman, and to the left, several shareholders.

The other senior managers followed behind them, hardly able to contain their excitement.

The 17th floor’s employees stood together, falling silent and holding their breath as they spoke.

Everyone guessed who this carefully guarded individual by the chairman and several major shareholders might be.

Yao Xintian and Yong Shu walked beside President Yao, who introduced them to the middle-aged man, “Dean Xia, this is my daughter Yao Xintian, who will be responsible for the growth serum selling project.”

The man nodded slightly in acknowledgment to Yao Xintian.

The rest of the staff on the 17th floor observed Yao Xintian and Yong Shu, having already guessed at Yao Xintian’s identity, so this introduction didn’t come as a surprise.

Xia Zhuoyu listened quietly as they described the project before speaking as he prepared to leave, “This visit to the biotechnology sector mainly concerns the growth serum.”

The chairman quickly stopped, bowing, “Dean Xia, please speak.”

“The main person in charge of the growth serum project is not me, but my direct disciple, so she will be fully responsible for this matter. If there are any issues, feel free to contact me,” Xia Zhuoyu’s gaze scanned the crowd, settling on Yang Lin at the very back, “Yang Lin, come and meet Director Lin.”

The movements in the crowd abruptly ceased.

From top to bottom on the 17th floor, and even the chairman, all eyes pierced through several people, resting on the silent young woman.

Yang Lin had faced countless grand events, wasn’t the audience under her speeches for top scholarships far greater than these people?

She walked out of the crowd with composure, as the crowd naturally parted ways for her.

Director Lin saw Yang Lin and hurried forward, extending both hands to shake hers. “I have long heard about the exceptional protegee of Dean Xia, famous for quite some time, and today I finally get to meet you.”

“Director Lin, hello,” Yang Lin responded, returning the handshake.

Director Lin smiled warmly at Yang Lin, repeating, “Calling me Director Lin is so formal, just call me Uncle Lin!”

Xia Zhuoyu, the pinnacle of biology in the country, his handpicked students were not something just anyone could meet, so naturally, Director Lin seized the opportunity to get close to Yang Lin.

“Let’s go,” Xia Zhuoyu arrived mainly to pick up Yang Lin, “an academician of life sciences is waiting for you.”

Yang Lin nodded, grabbed her canvas bag from her station, and left with Xia Zhuoyu.

Everyone on the 17th floor was watching Yang Lin’s departing figure.

Xia Zhuoyu’s two government-assigned bodyguards followed right behind them.

People on the 17th floor had never seen such a spectacle; only when the elevator doors closed did someone let out a long breath and ask Alice, who was close to Yang Lin, “My God, Alice, was Yang Lin here on a secret visit?”

“Can someone tell me who she really is?”

“…”

Alice was surrounded by a crowd of people, but truthfully, how could she know the depths of Yang Lin’s background?

Of course, there are no secrets in the company.

Within less than two hours, someone dug up the glory of Xia Zhuoyu; they didn’t even need to dig, his recent conference had already made news. As for his handpicked student, was that even in question?

“A big shot in the biology world? Did Jiang University build a whole building for him? Does our company survive on Dean Xia’s management?” someone in the group inhaled sharply, “Yang Lin is an honorary alumna of Jiang University? Already has several SCI and Nature papers before she even finished her senior year… what kind of deity had we been working with for two months?”

Everyone was astounded.

A future star in the field of biology, a nationally protected figure, compared to them — mere employees of a small company — the gap was immense.

In her daze, Alice realized why Yang Lin wasn’t on the probation conversion list.

However…

Alice glanced out of the corner of her eye toward Yong Shu in the break room, still getting water.

His face wasn’t visible, but the water cup was overfilling, the scalding water spilling over onto his hand, seemingly without him realizing.

Alice looked away, shrugging.

It is for the best these two parted ways, letting Yang Lin stand out on her own.

**
Later, Yang Lin would occasionally visit the company to communicate with the project team.

As for Yong Shu’s situation, she didn’t ask again.

Yong Shu tried to reconnect with Yang Lin, but she did not respond.

That afternoon, after Yang Lin visited the company, she went downstairs with Alice.

Yong Shu saw his chance to speak with her.

But before he could get a word out, a fiery red sports car stopped at the entrance, with Xu Nanjing tapping his fingers carelessly on the steering wheel.

Everyone at the company’s entrance was drawn to the eye-catching car.

But, more than the car itself, its ostentatious license plate featuring a string of “8s” caught everyone’s attention.

“Today is Grandpa’s birthday, Alian asked me to pick you up,” Xu Nanjing said, removing his sunglasses and smiling politely.

Yang Lin nodded and told Alice she was getting into the car.

She sat in the passenger seat, serenely watching the passing scenery.

Yong Shu’s situation didn’t impact her much, it merely fueled her passion for scientific research even further.
