Tang Group, General Manager's Office.
Chi Yin was intensely focused on playing a shooting game, with freshly delivered KFC and a bottle of soda sitting beside her.
Tang Yu walked in and patted her on the shoulder.
"Chi Yin, you're playing games again. Take a break."
"Ugh, I died! It's all your fault, Young Master Tang."
Seeing the game over screen, Chi Yin's face was filled with frustration.
"Dead is dead. You've been playing all day. Take a break."
Tang Yu sighed.
[This silly girl takes her gaming so seriously. Does she really need to act this dedicated?]
Hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, Chi Yin felt a bit embarrassed.
"╭(°A°`)╮!"
Am I... getting too obsessed with work lately?
To cover her embarrassment, she grabbed a bucket of fried chicken and asked, "Young Master Tang, want some?"
"No." Tang Yu rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"KFC Crazy Thursday?"
"......"
Tang Yu rubbed his forehead.
[Damn, if she keeps playing games every day, she'll turn into an idiot.]
[I remember she wasn't that smart to begin with.]
[Having a pair of A's but not being smart, this kid is doomed.]
"╭(°A°`)╮?"
"Not that smart?"
Chi Yin's face darkened. Her IQ was quite high, thank you very much.
These games that take others at least three months to complete, she could finish in about a month!
She even broke several records!
"Today is your birthday."
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Tang Yu sighed and reminded her.
"Oh, right."
Chi Yin finally came to her senses and awkwardly smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Tang."
She had been so engrossed in work lately that she almost forgot it was her birthday.
But as an assassin, birthdays didn't mean much to her.
Tang Yu's sudden mention of it warmed her heart a bit.
Such concern was like an unattainable luxury for her.
"The company has a rule that employees' birthdays must be celebrated. I'm free today, so I'll celebrate it with you."
Tang Yu grinned at Chi Yin.
[This silly girl has been here long enough. She must have stolen enough information by now.]
[Once these documents reach that idiot Ye Chen, it won't take long for them to be useful.]
[Since that's the case, I need to find a way to bring this silly girl over to my side.]
[First, I'll slowly build up her goodwill. Once I have all the evidence, I'll confront her.]
Chi Yin looked at Tang Yu, bewildered.
Young Master Tang wants to bring her over to his side?
Is there really such a good thing?
Since the first time she overheard Young Master Tang's inner thoughts, she started investigating the Tang Family.
Through her investigations, she actually found information about her father.
Her father's name was Chi Hong.
Over thirty years ago, he offended a powerful figure and was hunted down.
In desperation, he was saved by Old Master Tang and became the head of the Tang Family's bodyguards!
He was loyal to the Tang Family and even saved Old Master Tang twice!
The Tang Family trusted him immensely! Tang Yu's father treated him like a brother.
After working for the Tang Family for over a decade, he suddenly disappeared, and the Tang Family searched for him for years without finding any trace.
A few years later, a pregnant woman came to the Tang Family, claiming to be Chi Hong's wife.
The Tang Family naturally took her in and treated her very well.
Less than half a year after giving birth to a daughter, the woman disappeared with the child.
After that, Chi Yin couldn't find any more information, as the Tang Family's records were limited.
From this, she could be sure that Young Master Tang and the Tang Family were definitely not her enemies!
They had done great favors for her family! How could she repay kindness with enmity?
"Ah... Young Master Tang celebrating my birthday? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Coming back to her senses, Chi Yin quickly responded.
"What's inappropriate about it? You've been with the company for so long, playing games here every day... I mean, working hard and making significant contributions to the company."
"Because of you, the company's game projects are advancing at rocket speed. You're the number one contributor to Tang Group."
"This birthday, I must personally arrange it for you."
Tang Yu said righteously.
[That's right, I want you to see what a good boss really is.]
[Unlike that stingy Ye Chen, who makes you do all the dangerous work and only pays you a few thousand a month.]
[Saying hardship builds character, my ass. Even capitalists would cry seeing you.]
[Stick with Young Master Tang, and you'll eat nine meals a day!]
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Tang."
Chi Yin felt even warmer inside. Young Master Tang really cared about her.
She had actually thought about coming clean with Young Master Tang.
But after listening to Tang Yu's inner thoughts every day, she felt she couldn't say it directly.
Because Young Master Tang... sometimes had quite the imagination.
If she told him she was defecting, he would definitely think she was acting.
So all she could do was help in secret, like sending over fake documents.
As for the Dragon Soul organization, she now only felt doubt and resentment.
Knowing the Tang Family had been kind to her, why did they still want her to repay kindness with enmity?
"Alright, take a break and we'll head out. First, we'll pick a birthday gift for you, then have a big meal."
Tang Yu said with a smile.
[What should I get her? A year's supply of papaya milk? But I've heard papaya milk isn't very effective.]
[The Qing Nang Tian Jing does have some similar recipes, but her condition requires meridian clearing first.]
[But if I use manual techniques to clear her meridians, she might chop off my hand.]
[Sigh, I'm just too kind-hearted. I can't stand seeing a girl so plain.]
[It's a pity I have all these medical skills with no place to use them.]
"......"
Chi Yin's body trembled.
Young Master Tang, you really care about my A-cup, don't you?
But she had actually tried many methods in private. When she was an assassin, it didn't matter; she even found it convenient.
Now that she was living a normal life, she felt she should have a bit more to be proper.
So she had tried drinking papaya milk and such, but it really didn't work.
Could Tang Yu's meridian clearing really be effective?
Her face turned red as she mentally scolded herself for thinking such things.
After leaving the office, Tang Yu took Chi Yin in his sports car to a large shopping mall.
"We'll first buy you a birthday gift, then some clothes."
"You're a girl, you should learn to dress up occasionally."
Tang Yu teased as he drove.
[Sigh, this silly girl is great as an assassin, but as a girl, she's a bit unconventional.]
[Her dressing style is a bit outdated. I've never seen her wear a skirt.]
[She's so pretty, not dressing up to beautify the city is practically a crime.]
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Tang."
Chi Yin blushed and thanked him, feeling a bit touched inside.
Growing up.
Young Master Tang was the first person who wanted her to be like a normal girl.
Instead of wanting her to be an excellent assassin.
