From Sidekick to Bigshot

Therefore, who would have ever imagined that the mysterious Head of the Huiling Medical Research Institution was a man who hid in his room all year round?

When he first established Huiling Medical Research Institution, Wen Yan hoped to cure his legs.

However, ten years had passed since then. During that time, he still couldn’t find a way to help him walk again.

And thus, as time passed, he gradually gave up.

“I’ve given up already,” Wen Yan replied.

After all, it was important to accept reality. He had already spent ten years on this.

Upon hearing this, Professor Xu did not know what to say.

“I… I guess…”

He wanted to give Jian Yiling another chance.

However, before coming over, he already knew that the chances of achieving this were slim.

And thus, Professor Xu left the Wen Residence.

Someone was closely watching Professor Xu as he left the Wen Residence.

This person was sent by Jian Yiling.

As Jian Yiling knew that Professor Xu was meeting the Head of the Institute today, someone Jian Yiling sent had been following Professor Xu ever since he left home.

Furthermore, this news was leaked to Jian Yiling by Cheng Yi.

In fact, it was likely that Professor Xu intentionally told Cheng Yi about this.

After all, Professor Xu did not want Jian Yiling to leave their institution. However, he could not disobey his boss’s instructions.

And thus, a shocking conclusion was reached. The Head of the Huiling Medical Research Institution was someone from the Wen family.

As of now, only Grandma Wen, Grandpa Wen, Wen Cheng, Cai Qinyue, Wen Ruo, and Wen Yan were living in the Wen Residence.

Based on what happened during Wen Cheng’s car accident, the Head of the Institute was definitely not Grandma Wen, Grandpa Wen, Wen Cheng, Cai Qinyue, or Wen Ruo.

Therefore, there was only one person left. Wen Yan.

Although this seemed highly unlikely, it appeared as though Wen Yan was indeed the mysterious Head of Huiling Medical Research Institution.

When Professor Xu returned to the Beijing branch of the Institution, Luo Xiuen was already waiting for him there.

Luo Xiuen handed over her resignation letter that she had just written.

“Sister En… You…”

Professor Xu looked at Luo Xiuen’s resignation letter in disbelief. However, at the same time, he could think of the reason for Luo Xiuen’s resignation.

“The Head of the Institute has the right to fire employees. I can not intervene with that. However, as an employee, I have the right to resign.”

“Xiuen… Your future prospects are limitless. If you leave like this…”

“Isn’t Yiling’s future prospects also limitless? Didn’t she also get fired? So what’s the point of the word ‘limitless’? Furthermore, if the Institute can do something like this, why can’t I? Anyhow, it just so happens that I’m getting married. My husband can take care of my child and I! Therefore, I will just be giving myself an extended holiday!”

“Xiuen…” Professor Xu started. He didn’t know what to say. “But the project in your hands… Are you just going to give up on that?”

“Yep, I plan to give up on that,” Luo Xiuen replied firmly. This was consistent with Luo Xiuen’s style of doing things.

“But according to the contract, you have to pay a fee for violating the contract.”

The contract stated that a researcher could not leave their job whilst they had a project in hand. If they did, they had to pay a huge sum of money.

“Well, tell the Head of the Institute to sue me! I will pay the fees if he wins the lawsuit!”

After saying that, Luo Xiuen waved goodbye to her other colleagues: “I’m leaving now! Don’t miss me! I’m going to be a young lady of a rich family~”

Luo Xiuen was not at all reluctant to leave.

However, her colleagues were sad to watch her leave.

After all, within a day, they lost two of their colleagues.
