“Sister Lin, keep to your researcher character and don’t gossip.” Seeing that she failed to threaten the tigress, Qiao Yue could only change her strategy.
“Gossip is the fourth instinct of human beings. It propagates human consciousness, and it doesn’t break any character setting.”
“The fourth instinct? What are the first three?” Qiao Yue asked helplessly. She had never heard of any great instinct.
“The first is intuition, which play a huge part in our development and is hard to replicate. The second is conformity. Human beings are social animals and need to live together. Only by pursuing consensus can we continue to develop. The third is fear of death. We understand our own existence through the death of our companions and find a way to survive.”
Qiao Yue was stunned by Sister Lin’s words. She couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Lin, you’re researching this thing?”
“I’m not studying it.” Sister Lin answered readily.
“Then how do you know?” Sister Lin’s words made Qiao Yue even more confused.
“Web browser. The modern way of searching the internet is highly valuable.”
Qiao Yue’s forehead twitched as she met Sister Lin’s teasing gaze. She hadn’t seen Sister Lin for so long and she was still so mischievous. Qiao Yue couldn’t figure out how she was nicknamed the tigress at school.
“Why did you suddenly return to school? Did you miss school life?” Sister Lin asked as the two of them walked side by side around the field.
“Not really. It’s just that Qiao Jing wanted to send me to school, and I didn’t have a reason to reject him, so here I am.”
Sister Lin chuckled. “It’s easy for you, but it’s hard for the people at KA!”
Qiao Yue also laughed out loud when she thought of the complaints in the chat group.
KA was a small company under godfather that was on the verge of bankruptcy. He handed the company to her in the name of testing her ability not long after she got his approval.
However, godfather probably didn’t care much about it at the time because he never asked her about it again after he handed her the company. Therefore, it was Qiao Yue who had been planning KA’s development all this while.
In the early days, Qiao Yue was running between KA and the organization, and slept for at most five hours a day. It was not until she met a professional manager in a small company that she was released from this high-intensity work.
The professional manager she met was named Chen Qing. He graduated from a renowned university with a major in business administration. It wasn’t difficult for him to find a job with his qualifications, but he settled down in a small company after two years of hard work.
At that time, KA had just started expanding its domestic business, and the companies that approached them for collaboration were not large. The company that employed Chen Qing was picked out by Qiao Yue from a bunch of small companies, and that was how the two of them met.
Chen Qing gave Qiao Yue the feeling that he was a man of great talent but failed to reach his potential. He was very far-sighted and had the drive to act. However, his progressive thinking was not useful in a small company. She heard that he was transferred from his position after speaking twice at the company’s big meetings and was gradually marginalized by the company.
She poached Chen Qing with the mindset of experimentation, but she didn’t expect to find a treasure. For example, Chen Qing was the first to discover business opportunities in the entertainment and dining industries. He then moved the business from offline to online, entering the live streaming industry.
She was able to fulfil her mother’s last wish now because Chen Qing was here. She had the confidence to leave the business in his hands.
“I’m giving them the chance to show off their skills. They should be happy.” Qiao Yue’s tone wasn’t without a hint of ridicule.
They couldn’t just ask her about everything, right? They also had to work at things themselves.
Sister Lin tutted and said, “I heard from the organization that you were injured on a mission with Chu Jia and the others. How is it? Is it serious?”
“It’s not serious. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest. I just don’t know if godfather will be angry with the failed assassination.”
Qiao Yue sighed as she spoke. Godfather’s lack of questioning and scolding made her uneasy.
“Didn’t you hear that godfather went to B-Country recently?” Sister Lin asked.
“B-Country? ” Qiao Yue frowned and asked.
“Not long after you left, godfather also left.” Sister Lin was surprised, and she mumbled, “It’s weird that godfather didn’t tell you.”
“It’s not weird. Godfather has his own things to do. He wouldn’t tell me everything.” Qiao Yue replied casually.
