Chapter 35: Seek Private Profit From Public Affairs

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In many people’s minds, most of these high-intelligence IT and research elites were very cold-minded, not social, and don’t like gossip, because usually they prefer to spend time thinking and delving into various concepts and theories. But naturally there would always be special cases.

Jason was a special case within the R&D team. He had a first-class ability when it came to writing programs, he was also very sociable and widely acquainted, but he was also gossipy. He, of course, had a sense of propriety with his gossip.

Jin Xiangdong, who did not like making public appearances, had used Jason’s special skill to its full extent. Jason was often present on his behalf for many public occasions, so it was often mistakenly thought that Jason was the top man within the BUA.

“Restrain your gossipy heart and quickly finish the program for the fourth phase of development!” Jin Xiangdong glanced at him.

“Leniency to those who confess their crimes and severity to those who refuse to!” Everyone here was very familiar with Jin Xiangdong’s way of talking, and they chorused something meaningful.

It was not that everyone loved to gossip, but that the behavior Jin Xiangdong exhibited was too suspicious. Although everyone was inconsistent at best when it came to posting something on WeChat, it was really rare to see Jin Xiangdong give a like to anyone! It was not that he was arrogant, but that he rarely used social media. When it came to Lu Jia’er, he had for the first time gently clicked on the ‘Little Heart’ under her WeChat Moment post. Of course, there was nothing to say about clicking on the “Little Heart”. After all, Lu Jia’er’s post was about the father of Jin Xiangdong, but it was hard to find a gossip topic in relation to him, so they naturally would not let go.

“I don’t usually see you giving us a little heart! Is there any special condition?” Jason cast meaningful eyes at Jin Xiangdong.

“Ace, I thought you have been trying to improve the exclusively male situation of our team. I didn’t expect you to be selfish!” Zheng Jie was the first to criticize Jin Xiangdong.

“If it is really done out of selfishness, I protest!” Li Zheng, as a single man, protested.

“I agree!” Another single person also protested.

Jin Xiangdong’s eyes swept the people in the room and he said with a leisurely voice, “I’m not being selfish. I did it for the public good!”

“Public good! Are you openly proclaiming the ownership rights to Professor Lu Jia’er?” Li Zheng tried to confirm the matter with him.

Everyone fixed their eyes on Jin Xiangdong, while Jin Xiangdong did not give an exact answer, he stood up regardless. “You can understand by yourselves. This meeting is over!” Then he left the meeting room with his laptop under his arm.

Just walking to the door, he heard a howl of complaint from inside. “It’s outrageous to seek private profit in public affairs!”

“Ace has finally returned to this earth as a human being. We must be tolerant and understanding!”

Hearing these remarks, he lifted his mouth, and headed toward his office with long legged strides.

Early the next morning, Lu Jia’er appeared at a coffee shop near the Library of B University. The coffee here was well-known. Coffee was naturally a good choice for saying sorry.

Speaking of apologizing to Jin Xiangdong, this seemed somewhat illogical. But the neck of Jin Shengping must have been a concern for him over the past few days.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Jia’er brought ten cups of coffee to the R&D center. Everyone was to have one cup, so that she would not be deemed distant, and she could enhance the bonding between these colleagues and her.

There just happened to be a meeting, so everyone was gathered in a conference room, once they had Lu Jiaer’s coffee in hand they thanked her and Lu Jia’er smiled lightly.

Dr. Zheng Jie even joked, “I’ve finally realized the benefits of having a girl join the team.”

“Yes, Professor Lu is so thoughtful. You let us drink coffee that tastes so good this morning!” Jason gave his praises after drinking it.

Lu Jia’er did not respond, but just smiled and then casually placed the last cup of coffee at the forefront of the conference table, in front of where Jin Xiangdong will sit.
