Who is clever 4
"So, I did it for the case, you did it for the business opportunity, everyone did their part. The extra amount on the check can be considered as my reward for helping you win this battle." Suye's expression relaxed a bit, and he started to look a bit sly again. "Let's not talk about deposits or hiring, I think this check has already settled the scores between us, we don't owe each other anything."
Nian Baiyan took in her spoiled appearance and raised an eyebrow, "Grudges?"
"Mistake, haha." Su Ye hurriedly corrected, "You just need to focus on the four words 'mutual non- indebtedness'."
"This...," Yan Bo said with a faint smile, seemingly pondering but actually hitting the nail on the head, "even if you want to clear things up, Professor Ding might not be willing."
Su Ye's hand hesitated for a moment as she held the cup, the iced fruit juice making the glass emit a chill, cooling her fingertips to numbness. Although her lips maintained a faint smile, the coldness rising from the depths of her heart was no less than what her fingertips had touched. She knew that Professor Ding had been trying to pull in huge funds for his research project, and since Yan Bo had appeared at the institution, it meant he might be the largest investor.
"Professor Nian, I've told you before that I'm not a person with much professional integrity." Su Ye paused for a moment. After all, Professor Ding was still the father of Ding Si Cheng. If this investment were to be cancelled because of her, she would feel guilty. However, she couldn't let this man in front of her get too used to threatening her with his chips either. Thinking about it, when she spoke again, her tone was somewhat tough, "Besides, there's not just one investor like Professor Nian in this world."
Nian Baiyan heard this and instead of getting angry, he smiled. However, the smile seemed to hold a deeper meaning. "Yes, Dr. Su is right. This world doesn't only have me as an investor."
The atmosphere between the two began to become awkward, a quiet awkwardness, just as Su Ye was thinking about how to respond to his words, he spoke again and broke the silence.
"All difficult problems have a solution, just like your preconceived notions about Jing Shi, speak out, who knows I might be able to help you."
Su Ye pinched the cup suddenly, her beautiful eyebrows unconsciously furrowed, and her eyes also turned cold in an instant. "I don't understand Mr. Nian's meaning."
"Everyone wants to get close to Jing Shi, hoping to work in Jing Shi, but only you, as soon as you hear the name of Jing Shi, you become like a cat on hot bricks." Yan Bo's body remained motionless, leaning against the back of the chair, his eyes were venomous, and his words were piercing, but his expression and attitude were very calm.
"Mr. Nian, I only know that making things difficult for others is not what a gentleman does. There are many psychologists in this world who would be delighted to help you, so why do you have to come and make things difficult for me? Do you understand me? Are we familiar with each other? I don't need to owe you a favor!" The air swirling in her chest was suppressed again and again, her tone becoming unfriendly.
"Su Ye, 28 years old, single, orphaned at a young age and raised by her uncle. After graduating from a domestic university, she went abroad for further studies and showed great talent in behavioral analysis. She changed her major to psychoanalysis during her graduate studies. Agile and with diverse interests, she has tried various stimulating activities, especially loving paragliding and rock climbing. She has conquered several peaks including Muztagh Ata, Cho Oyu, Zhuo You Feng, Dhaulagiri, and Gangapurna, and was the leader of the main climbing team for Mount Everest. Six years ago, while climbing Manaslu in Nepal, her boyfriend fell to his death, and she has not set foot in Nepal since then." He paused slightly, his eyes deep as the ocean, "Why I must find you is simple. A person who witnessed their boyfriend fall from a high peak yet cured one psychological patient after another shows that they themselves have strong mental resilience. You are exactly the person I need."
