I’ve become her number one brother.Xia Ye finally felt relieved, ”Do you really think so? You don’t blame Xiao Xiao for implicating you.”

”Yes. I don’t blame her.” Lin Yuan looked at Xia Ye with an aunt-like smile. Of course, what he said was false; if he had really been implicated by Song Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t have cared if she rotted in jail.

”You’re really too good.” Xia Ye nestled in Lin Yuan’s arms like a kitten, ”When Xiao Xiao gets out, I’ll definitely talk to her properly.”

Lin Yuan’s hand unceremoniously slipped into Xia Ye’s collar, but after a moment, he decided to pull it out. It was simply too dangerous. One who walks ninety miles has only completed half the journey; he didn’t want to lose control again after just barely holding back.

”What if she refuses to change?” Lin Yuan posed a profound question.

Xia Ye was flustered, unsure how to respond.

”When she gets out, we’ll be even with her. From now on, when you interact with her, you won’t need to have any concerns about old feelings or anything like that.”

”Mm.” Xia Ye nodded very seriously.

Although Song Xiaoxiao was implicated by Lin Yuan this time, Lin Yuan planned to take a loss and cover all her fines and compensation. After this, Song Xiaoxiao could bid farewell to her dark history. As for the future, that was no longer Lin Yuan’s concern.

In any case, Lin Yuan felt that what he was doing was already the utmost benevolence.

”Oh, right. There’s something I forgot to tell you.

Song Xiaoxiao, she’s actually a...”

”What is it?”

”The same as you.”

”The same as me?”

Lin Yuan leaned in and whispered a few words to Xia Ye.

”Ah!” Xia Ye was indeed as surprised as he had expected.

Lin Yuan helped Xia Ye close her gaping mouth, ”Don’t say it’s just you, even I can’t believe it. If Guinness World Records would accept this kind of thing, then Song Xiaoxiao would definitely be on the list.”

”Then Xiao Xiao can come out now?”

”Yes. Not many days left. It’s just going to cost a lot of money. That idiot actually went and became a legal representative.” This was also something Lin Yuan only found out through Zhang Yan: Song Xiaoxiao was actually the legal representative of the newly established MSN agency she was with.

”She has to take all the blame.”

”How much money will that require?”

”Her pitiful savings certainly aren’t enough. I’ll pay for her. Otherwise, why would I say: this time, when she gets out, you won’t owe her anymore.”

”Then do you have enough money? I’ll give you all my money.” Xia Ye said, reaching for her phone.

But Lin Yuan quickly pulled her back into his arms, ”Forget about your pocket money. Triple compensation plus fines, it’s probably going to be over a million. The bulk of her savings is illegal gains and will be confiscated. So, damn it, I have to pay a million for her.”

”A million?” Xia Ye could hardly believe her ears, ”How could it be so much?”

”Because that idiot is the legal representative. All the messes caused by their entire agency will be on her. Thankfully, she’s only been working for a little over two months. Otherwise, I’d suggest she reincarnate and start over.”

”Xiao Xiao is such a smart person, how could she fall into someone else’s trap?”

”She didn’t fall into a trap, she was too ambitious.” Lin Yuan, through Zhang Yan, was very clear about the details of Song Xiaoxiao’s case. Song Xiaoxiao confessed that she saw a certain top internet celebrity fight a three-year lawsuit with an MSN agency, and in the end, almost lost her own stage name. That’s why she took precautions and insisted on becoming the legal representative herself.

Who knew, it backfired.

”From the very beginning, she wanted to be the boss. Unfortunately, she still suffered from a lack of knowledge. Dividing the pie and being the boss are not the same thing. If she knew how to play, she could have completely made the pie her own through operations, with someone else as the legal representative. But, that’s all hindsight now.”

”Then where are we going to get a million?” Xia Ye was worried.

Lin Yuan joked, ”Does Song Xiaoxiao have a past top supporter?”

”At a time like this, you’re still joking.”

Lin Yuan sighed, ”Sigh, in the end, I’m her top supporter.”

Xia Ye nestled her head into Lin Yuan’s arm, ”I’ll find another job.” As soon as she spoke, she felt a wave of disappointment, ”My current job was found by you.” Xia Ye realized that her so-called earning money to help was actually still benefiting from Lin Yuan. Because Xia Ye’s current private coaching was still through Lin Yuan’s connections, wasn’t that still equivalent to Lin Yuan raising the money?

”I introduced you to be a small-group private coach because I didn’t want you to be too tired. Moreover, even if you worked three more jobs, it wouldn’t help much in raising a million in a short time.”

”Then can we pay this money back slowly?”

”It’s not impossible, at most it would temporarily affect her credit. But this money has to be paid sooner or later, and I don’t want to have to maintain contact with her because of it.”

Lin Yuan considered it carefully, ”I’ll still try to find a way with Good Group. I’ll advance my next year’s salary, and my stock options.”

”Will that work? Will a big company like Good Group make an exception for you?”

”Generally speaking, definitely not.”

”Then that’s that.”

”But I’m not an ordinary person.” Lin Yuan was confident that Good Group couldn’t replicate his food delivery algorithm. Just based on that, advancing his next year’s salary shouldn’t be difficult. Because executives at large companies often have these kinds of ’unconventional’ operations. Although he wasn’t an executive now, as long as Good Group wanted to retain him, they wouldn’t make things difficult for him over such a small matter.

But Xia Ye clearly didn’t understand all this; she remained worried.

”Don’t worry. It’s just a million.” Lin Yuan’s tone was very relaxed. Because as Good Group gradually fell into the predicament of being unable to replicate the food delivery algorithm, his salary would definitely increase. An annual salary of over a million was only a matter of time. He would just consider it as repaying Xia Ye’s favor and offsetting his implication of Song Xiaoxiao; he would just work for free for a year.

As soon as he thought of Good Group, Lin Yuan recalled Good Group’s ’unconventional’ operation before he joined—despite the poor performance of the food delivery algorithm, they still gave him the best quarterly assessment.

He even learned after he came out that Good Group had been unable to contact him these past few days and had frantically sought out his mentor.

According to his mentor’s retelling, Group Vice President Liu Zhang had specifically asked someone to greet his mentor, urging him to do Lin Yuan’s ideological work. In short: if he wasn’t satisfied with the salary, they could negotiate again, but he absolutely must not leave.

Upon learning that Lin Yuan was out, Liu Zhang even called immediately to offer his condolences.

Damn it, if a typical company knew their employee had been taken in, wouldn’t they first figure out the whole story? If it involved a crime, they would definitely be fired.

But Liu Zhang had no intention of questioning him, not even a tiny bit. His tone was full of comfort, and he even offered to specially host a welcome dinner for Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan, of course, refused.

His mentor also said that he had originally wanted to greet Good Group on Lin Yuan’s behalf, not wanting this misunderstanding to affect Lin Yuan’s career development. But the reality was completely beyond his mentor’s expectations; Good Group, in turn, entrusted his mentor: Lin Yuan is a hardworking, diligent, reliable, and responsible good employee, and his mentor absolutely must not have any preconceived notions about him because of this matter. Good Group trusted Lin Yuan’s character.

Lin Yuan was immediately speechless when he heard that.

Damn it, he usually had classes, and only showed up at Good Group on weekends, always working remotely. This kind of work attitude was actually considered an ”excellent and diligent good employee”? It made him cringe to hear it himself.

He couldn’t help but recall Dean Li’s view on this matter—unsolicited flattery indicates ulterior motives. If you haven’t been ’defiled’ or ’stolen from’ by someone, then perhaps they want to use you to ’defile’ or ’steal’.
