Chapter 10: Shangguan Xueyan's Doubts

  "Xiao Wang, come over quickly, hurry up! If you're half a step late, I'll deduct half a month's bonus from your pay!" The Minister of Justice suddenly bellowed loudly towards the technical department, his voice so loud that it startled Lin Yixuan.

  "Here, here, don't deduct, I'm telling you, Minister, can't you stop always mentioning deducting bonuses? Do you think it's easy for me to make money?" A young man's voice hastily came from within the technical department, and then the owner of that voice was heard rapidly approaching this way.

  In just a moment, he saw a thin and weak young man wearing black-rimmed glasses running over.

  "Don't deduct my bonus, can you hurry up? There's something for you to do." The Ministry of Justice lightly scolded the young Xiao Wang and handed him a small bottle of perfume made by Lin Yixuan, saying: "Go, test whether this perfume meets the standard or not."

  Xiao Wang took the perfume, opened it lightly and smelled it, then praised: "It smells so good, absolutely top-notch, is this our new research perfume?" As he spoke, Xiao Wang looked at the Minister of Justice.

  "Stop talking nonsense, I told you to go for the test, just go! If you talk back again, I'll deduct a month's bonus from your pay." The Minister of Justice spoke in an ill-tempered tone, causing Little Wang to shrink back in fear.

  Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Alright, boss, don't be angry. I'll go test it right away, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." After finishing speaking, Xiao Wang took the small bottle of perfume and went inside.

  "Lin Guwen, I was being petty just now. Here's an apology." The Minister of Justice surprisingly apologized to Lin Yixuan after Xiao Wang left, and from his tone, he had already acknowledged Lin Yixuan as the Chief Consultant of the Technical Department.

  "The Minister of Punishment is right, you are also considering the company's interests, and it's normal for a young man like me to be suspected." Lin Yixuan smiled casually, he also saw that the Minister of Punishment was a practical person who would admit his mistakes bravely. For such a person, Lin Yixuan couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration.

  Li Xiaoyan, who was standing aside, saw that the two had opened up and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The Minister of Justice surprisingly sat down beside them and started chatting with Lin Yixuan, constantly praising him for his remarkable achievements at such a young age.

  After a while, a hurried footsteps came, Lin Yuxuan turned his head to see that it was Xiao Wang who ran over with a piece of paper and the perfume bottle, just as he arrived in front of the Minister of Justice, Xiao Wang said: "Head, all the indicators of this perfume meet the requirements, here is the test report." After finishing speaking, Xiao Wang handed the test report to the Minister of Justice.

  The Minister of Justice took it and browsed through it carefully, then suddenly jumped up, snatched the perfume from Xiao Wang's hand, and rushed out of the technical department.

  The three people left on the scene looked at each other in dismay, what was going on? Although the Minister of Justice had a somewhat violent temper, he was usually very steady. This situation was something that Little Wang had never seen before.

  Lin Yixuan probably thought of something in her heart and shook her head lightly.

  Xingbu Zhang rushed out of the Technical Department and headed straight to Shangguan Xueyan's office, pushing open the door without knocking.

  Shangguan Xueyan, who was discussing matters with Liu Dong in the office, saw the Minister of Punishment rush in so rudely and her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly. The Minister of Punishments usually handled things very steadily, what's wrong this time?

  Before Officer Xue Yan could even ask a question, the Minister of Justice excitedly shouted: "General Manager, it's been resolved, everything has been resolved."

  Shangguan Xueyan looked at the Minister of Justice with some confusion, unsure what he was talking about.

  At this time, Liu Dong, who was standing aside, said in a low voice: "Minister of Justice, don't be so excited, there's something to say slowly, you're making us confused."

  The Minister of Justice only felt that he was truly too excited, and it's not that he couldn't be blamed for this. This time the leak incident had left him deeply self-reproaching, although they still hadn't found out who the culprit was, but the Minister of Justice stubbornly believed that this was his oversight that caused it. Especially when the company was facing a crisis because of this matter, he felt even more deeply guilty. So after receiving Lin Yixuan's perfume, the Minister of Justice would be so excited, because this way the company wouldn't suffer any losses and could even make a big profit.

  "It's like this, we have a new perfume that can be put on the market." The Minister of Justice adjusted his mood and said slowly.

  "Really?" Both Shangguan Xue and Liu Dong were overjoyed.

  "How did the technical department develop a new perfume so quickly?" Liu Dong asked.

  "It's not the technical department that researched it, but Lin Guwen who did. This is it, take a look." The Minister of Justice smiled awkwardly, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, after all, it wasn't their technical department that saved the crisis this time. Although Lin Yixuan was also nominally the Chief Technical Advisor, everyone knew that today was Lin Yixuan's first day on the job.

  Shangguan Xueyan took the perfume handed over by the Minister of Justice with some confusion, and her head was still a bit slow to react. Lin Gu asked, wasn't it said that Lin Yixuan? Can he study perfumes? Shangguan Xueyan would never believe it even if she died, she knew Lin Yixuan's details very well. Although he is not smart, after his parents' death, Lin Yixuan once became depressed and his academic performance declined all the way down, eventually becoming the bottom of the class. Can such a person create perfumes? Shangguan Xueyan couldn't believe it.

  She opened the small bottle of perfume, and a faint fragrance wafted out. Yu Xueyan's discerning senses were not ordinary, and she immediately identified this perfume as top-notch, even surpassing those world-renowned perfumes. She turned her head in surprise to look at the Minister of Justice, then asked: "Is this really Lin Guo's concoction?"

  "That's right, General Manager. You've really found a talented person this time. This perfume is something that even a master perfumer might not be able to create." The Minister of Justice said with a light smile, full of praise for Yu Xueyan's ingenuity.

  "Where is Lin Guwen?" Shangguan Xueyan quickly calmed down and said coldly.

  "He is still in the technical department," replied the Minister of Justice.

  Shangguan Xueyan immediately stood up and walked towards the technical department.

  At this time, Lin Yixuan was chatting with Li Xiaoyan. Originally, Li Xiaoyan wanted to take Lin Yixuan inside for a walk, but Lin Yixuan saw that everyone inside was busy and didn't go to disturb them.

  "It's time to go to work, what are you guys doing loafing around here?" Just as Lin Yixuan and Li Xiaoyan were chatting, a piercing voice came from the side. Lin Yixuan turned his head to look, and a middle-aged man with a shiny white suit and slicked-back hair walked in from outside.

  "What kind of person are you?" Lin Yixuan asked lightly, to be honest, looking at the middle-aged man's outfit made Lin Yixuan's whole body break out in goosebumps.

  "You don't even recognize me?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yixuan with suspicion and said faintly, "You're not from our company?"

  "Does everyone in the company know you?" Lin Yixuan was taken aback, then asked lightly.

  "You ask her if she knows me?" The middle-aged man pointed his hand at Li Xiaoyan and said with a cold smile.

  Lin Yixuan looked at Li Xiaoyan, who whispered to Lin Yixuan: "He is Qian Sheng, the Minister of Personnel, our company's head of human resources. All personnel adjustments in the company are under his control."

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback, never expecting that this middle-aged man would be the head of the Human Resources Department at Yanxue Company. It's really true that you can't judge a person by their appearance. However, this head of HR seems to be quite formidable, with an air about him as if he were the heavens and everyone else was beneath him.

  "Little kid, now you know who I am?" Qian Sheng sneered coldly, looking at Lin Yixuan with disdain.

  Lin Yixuan glanced at Qian Sheng lightly, others were afraid of him because they worked in the company, but Lin Yixuan was not afraid, this technical consultant was originally just a decoration, and he didn't need to look at Qian Sheng's face to do things.

  Qian Sheng saw that Lin Yixuan didn't even bother to reason with him, and he couldn't help but get furious. He bellowed at Lin Yixuan: "You little brat, which department are you from? Today I must fire you!"

  "What are you arguing about?" Just then, a cold voice came from outside, and then Officer Xue Yan walked in with a cold face.

  "General Manager? You're here, we weren't arguing about anything, just that this employee had a bad attitude, I was just saying something to him." Qian Sheng felt a sudden loss of his earlier arrogant demeanor after seeing Shangguan Xueyan, and instead felt a sense of humility.

  Shangguan Xueyan glanced at Qian Sheng lightly, then shifted her gaze to Lin Yixuan, apparently asking what had happened.

  Lin Yixuan lightly spread his hands and said with a helpless expression: "As soon as Minister Qian came in, he looked at me with dislike, then loudly declared that I must be fired today."

  "Is that so, Minister Qian?" Shangguan Xueyan asked coldly, her face expressionless, but her words seemed to carry a great deal of pressure, causing Qian Sheng's face to pale slightly.

  "No, Department Manager. Just now when I came in, I saw these two people slacking off, so I taught them a lesson." Qian Sheng explained.

  "Alright, I understand. That's it then. You can leave now." Officer Xue Yan furrowed her delicate eyebrows and directly issued the expulsion order.

  "Yes." Qian Sheng nodded and hastily walked out.

  Qian Sheng walked out, and Shangguan Xueyan said faintly to Lin Yixuan: "You come in with me for a moment." After that, Shangguan Xueyan directly walked into an office in the technical department.

  Lin Yixuan shrugged and slowly followed, after entering the door, Lin Yixuan directly found a sofa to sit down, then looked up at Shangguan Xueyan.

  Shangguan Xueyan gently placed the bottle of perfume that Lin Yixuan had blended in front of him and asked, "Is this bottle of perfume really blended by you?"

  Lin Yixuan nodded slightly and said, "Of course it's true, how else could it have grown?"

  "You seem to have never mentioned that you can make perfumes." Shangguan Xueyan's delicate eyebrows furrowed, as if reproaching Lin Yixuan for keeping it a secret.

  "You didn't ask." Lin Yixuan said with a shrug.

  "What is your purpose in approaching me?" Shangguan Xueyan asked coldly after a moment of silence.

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback, looking at Shangguan Xueyan with some surprise, then smiled wryly and said: "Break free, it seems like you were the one who came to find me first, don't make it seem like I'm intentionally getting close to you."

  Shangguan Xueyan was taken aback. Indeed, it was she who had sought out Lin Yixuan first, and his words left her speechless.

  "It's not that I don't have a purpose, you're so beautiful, I naturally hope to be your real husband." Lin Yixuan didn't know how he came up with such a sentence.

  "Don't even think about it." Shangguan Xueyan's face turned cold, as if a layer of frost had formed on her skin. Her gaze at Lin Yixuan was like a thousand pounds of icy ice.
