Ming Li watched Lin Jue's retreating back, frowning with extreme displeasure. She turned to the students still gathered around and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
Upon hearing Ming Li's icy tone, the students exchanged glances. Finally, a slightly chubby boy stepped forward and said to Ming Li, "Teacher Jiang, it's like this. Just now, Lin Jue saw a bird's nest in this tree and climbed up out of curiosity. Who knew it would turn out like this..."
Ming Li: ...?! Her lips twitched violently. It took something to get yourself into trouble while trying to get a bird's nest, this was truly something!
Thus, Ming Li continued to stay on the island, feeling bored, until the third day when Qin Yue called her, saying there were some issues at the company and she needed to return quickly.
Ming Li had no choice but to inform the homeroom teacher. Finally, she left Hugu Island under the reluctant gazes of the students.
"Teacher, why are you leaving so suddenly?"
"Teacher, did something happen?"
"Teacher, sob sob! Don't leave us!"
"Teacher, what will we do if you leave?"
...
Standing on the boat that had come to pick her up, Ming Li listened to the students' words from the shore, her lips involuntarily twitching again.
Ming Li: ...?! Damn it! Why do these words sound so weird? Are you all mourning as if I'm dead?!
The system in her space saw this scene and laughed heartily.
"Great! Her host is finally leaving! This way, no one will come to her host's face every day to show off their presence and get in its way anymore! So happy! Must set off fireworks to celebrate!"
And so, Ming Li saw the system float out from its space and set off a fireworks effect that only she could see.
Ming Li: ...?! This little system really knows how to make an entrance...
...
Soon, Ming Li returned to the company.
When Qin Yue saw Ming Li, he was so excited that he stepped forward to hug her, but Ming Li turned and dodged him with ruthless efficiency.
Seeing Ming Li evade him, Qin Yue wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Ming Li with a pitiful gaze, not saying a word, as if Ming Li had done something unforgivable.
Ming Li: ...?! What madness is this guy indulging in now?
Just as Ming Li, feeling an urge to pull him over and beat him up under his gaze, was about to do so, Qin Yue spoke, "Wuwuwu! Boss! You're finally here! If you don't come any sooner, the company will be ruined by the Lu Group!!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Li's eyebrows rose, and she said with great interest, "What's going on? What did the Lu Group do to our company?"
Qin Yue, now sobbing, completely lacked his usual elite demeanor in the company. "Boss, the thing is, the Lu Group suddenly got a very young chairman a while ago. I think his name is Lu something Ran."
As soon as the young Chairman Lu took office, he began to aggressively target our company. Not only did he compete with our company for projects, but he also started poaching our employees. Today, they went even further!
The Lu Group, with the help of a top hacker they hired from somewhere, implanted a very powerful virus into our company's programs. We had no choice but to ask you to come out of retirement, boss."
After listening, Ming Li knew who the newly appointed Lu Group president was.
However, Ming Li hadn't expected Lu Yiran to inherit the Lu Group so quickly. In the original plot, Lu Yiran didn't take over the Lu Group until after he went to college. She hadn't expected the male lead to snatch the company from his elder brother, Lu Yixuan, so quickly just to deal with her.
Tsk tsk tsk! Looks like there's going to be more fun!
The system in her space: ...?! Does her host really have to be this psychopathic?! It's terrifying! Oh, no! It should be terrifying for the system!
