Su Xiaotian felt like giving a commendation banner to the public security system.
But obviously, such thoughts could only remain thoughts, yet she still politely thanked the police officer.
The young officer hadn't attended university and greatly admired those who studied at university, especially students from prestigious schools like Beijing University. He was incredibly envious.
When speaking, he even showed a bit more respect.
"You're too kind. Please, tell me, when do you have time? The person you're referring to said they wanted to speak with you."
Su Xiaotian was still in class at the time and said she would go see them over the weekend.
The young officer then explained the entire situation.
It was the same person Su Xiaotian had suspected.
On Saturday afternoon, Su Xiaotian had no classes and went directly to the Public Security Bureau.
Su Xiaotian met the person who sold the formula at the Public Security Bureau.
This person was one of the earliest employees at the factory.
Moreover, this young man was part of the research team.
He was receiving a not-low monthly salary from Su Xiaotian.
When Su Xiaotian saw this young man named Xin Rao, she felt quite uneasy.
This was the first time in years that Su Xiaotian had been betrayed by someone else.
Especially since Xin Rao's family had some financial difficulties, she had specifically asked the factory director to advance him several months' salary.
She never expected that someone she had wholeheartedly helped would treat her this way.
It turned out that not all kindness is repaid with good deeds!
When Xin Rao saw Su Xiaotian, he was first shocked, then lowered his head. Sudancx.com
Su Xiaotian stood opposite him, saying nothing, watching Xin Rao's defiant attitude.
"I didn't expect you to call the police."
Xin Rao, not waiting for Su Xiaotian to speak first, had to initiate the conversation.
Su Xiaotian then looked up at the person in front of her.
The young man in front of her came from out of town and had come to Beijing for university.
After graduation, he didn't want to return to his hometown and couldn't find a good job, so he ended up at Su Xiaotian's factory.
But he always felt that he was a capable person and shouldn't be buried in such obscurity.
Especially after developing the new formula, he felt he was truly talented and shouldn't be wasted in such a private factory for his entire life.
Coincidentally, someone came to his door offering a job in exchange for the formula.
Moreover, it was a good job, a temporary position, but at a research institute.
Xin Rao was tempted.
He felt that he had contributed significantly to the research of the formula, and taking it was reasonable.
It was with this mindset that Xin Rao ultimately chose to exchange the formula for a job.
These details were investigated by the public security, and they had briefly informed Su Xiaotian earlier.
Based on what she knew and the public security's investigation, Su Xiaotian had a general understanding of what had happened.
At this moment, Xin Rao's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian couldn't understand where this hatred came from.
It seemed she hadn't done anything to wrong Xin Rao.
"Oh, and why did you think I wouldn't call the police?" Su Xiaotian asked with a light laugh.
The other party was taken aback.
Yes, why had he asked such a question?
"Why aren't you scolding me when you see me?"
Xin Rao had expected Su Xiaotian to scold him when she saw him, but he hadn't expected Su Xiaotian to remain silent.
"If I scolded you, would you feel a little better? Would you even think that after I scolded you, this matter would just pass?"
Xin Rao had indeed been thinking that.
Although he was arrogant and unwilling to waste his life in a private enterprise, he also knew that Su Xiaotian was very good to all of them.
In fact, the benefits Su Xiaotian provided them were no worse than those of any formal enterprise.
If the other party had only offered him a job at a company, perhaps he wouldn't have been tempted.
But the allure of a research institute job was too great.
He thought that as long as he was careful and discreet, no one would discover his involvement.
Then, after a couple of months, when the matter was forgotten, he would go to work at the research institute.
But in just three days, he had been found out.
"The formula was developed by me, so even if I took it myself, it wouldn't be considered theft," Xin Rao suddenly declared loudly.
It seemed that the louder he spoke, the more he could prove he was not wrong.
Su Xiaotian smiled.
Su Xiaotian's smile made Xin Rao even more embarrassed.
"What are you laughing at? What right do you have to laugh? People like you, who leech off others, will never understand how difficult things are for others."
Xin Rao's words were delivered with such anguish that anyone unaware would truly believe Su Xiaotian was an evil capitalist.
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
She wondered if she should seriously reflect on when she had done something so wicked without realizing it!
Xin Rao, not hearing Su Xiaotian's reply, became even more arrogant.
"How old are you this year, yet you own your own factory and earn so much money? You say you're good to us, but how much do you actually give us?"
The more Xin Rao spoke, the more reasonable he felt.
Su Xiaotian, who had done nothing, why should she earn so much money?
They worked hard every day, but how much did they earn per month?
Those locals could earn money by promoting goods, but he could only watch, with no extra income at all.
Why were they all the same people, yet he, a university student, earned less than someone who had only graduated from junior high?
This was unfair.
And Su Xiaotian, just a young girl, how could she have such a large factory?
This was even more unfair!
Su Xiaotian had initially intended to say something to Xin Rao, but by now, she felt that anything she said would be useless.
Xin Rao had completely fallen into a misconception; in his mind, perhaps only what he did was correct.
"Su Xiaotian, you're just a girl, why should you boss around a bunch of men like us?" Xin Rao shouted hysterically.
"Why? You say why?" Su Xiaotian asked coldly.
She hadn't realized this person was also a male chauvinist.
Since he was a male chauvinist, he should live up to his beliefs!
Just because he was a man, he wanted to control everything?
What a pipe dream!
