"Mr. Ye, why are you asking this? How did you know about Sun Ying's existence? Or are you investigating me?"
Immediately after that sound of recognition fell.
Qin Xuan's throat was dry and his voice trembled again.
That's why I'm so panicked.
He knew that since Ye Chen could bring up the name Sun Ying, it meant that Ye Chen must have known about what happened between him and Sun Ying.
And once those things are made public.
Not to mention that he will have to face the separation of his wife and children, it is unclear whether he can keep his title of associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As for the 'Shenxing II chip project' which he regarded as a turning point in his life, what awaits him will be elimination!
Although he is not a public figure, this kind of moral issue normally would not cause him to bear the same price of cheating as celebrities!
After all, it is not uncommon for professors from prestigious universities to cheat on their spouses, and in the end, they are also a group of people who are well-off...
But don't forget, he is Yan Huaili's son-in-law! Once the affair is exposed, it is easy to imagine what attitude the units and leaders related to him will have based on Yan Huaili's reasons!
Another reason is that the 'Shenxing II' chip project is too much, and a person who is morally corrupt will undoubtedly be difficult to be allowed to participate in it...
Therefore, it is not difficult for Qin Xuan to imagine that once the matter with Sun Ying is exposed, it will be like returning to the time before liberation for him!
Maybe he could leave his unit and join some private enterprises, but this was not his original intention. His dream was not to make a lot of money from the beginning.
"It doesn't matter whether I am investigating you or not. Even if I am investigating you, what's the harm? I am the only investor in the 'Shenxing II' project, which involves an investment of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of research and development funds. So I am conducting a thorough investigation of everyone involved in this project. Isn't this a very normal and necessary thing?" Ye Chen said calmly.
"Mr. Ye, you...you...are you planning to make something of this matter?" Qin Xuan swallowed hard.
Without waiting for Ye Chen to respond, he continued in a panic, "What do you want in exchange for helping me keep this secret? Just tell me!"
Little did Ye Chen know that he laughed, "Comrade Qin Xuan, isn't your position too weak? Anyone who knows this secret can use this to threaten you at any time? Even make you trample on the bottom line of your faith, sell out yourself, sell out the Jiangzhou Research Institute, and sell out the 'Shenxing II' chip project?"
"Boss Ye, I am already as pale as paper.
"Qin Xuan, who was beginning to feel uneasy, now had a look on his face.
Putting away his smile, Ye Chen said, "Let's get back to the point. For me, there is no point or necessity to threaten you! Since I chose to talk to you about this in this way today, my purpose is definitely not to destroy you! Tell me, don't hide anything, how did you know Sun Ying?
"I first met her abroad. About a year ago, I went abroad for further studies as arranged by the institute. I met her unexpectedly in the hotel where I stayed. At that time, we exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat. Because I was in a foreign country with a time difference of several hours from China, it caused a time barrier in communication with the Chinese side. So sometimes I felt very bored, but whenever I felt bored, Sun Ying would chat with me and take me around in my spare time!"
Speaking of Sun Ying, Qin Xuan's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he continued, "But I didn't have any thoughts at the time. I just regarded her as a good friend! But gradually, I found that she understood me very well, and she could consider everything from my perspective. She completely interpreted what gentleness and consideration are!"
"So you're attracted to her? You have feelings for her?" Ye Chen
road.
Qin Xuan shook his head. "I admit that I was a little moved, but I also knew the limits, so I always kept my bottom line, and she never said anything that crossed the line to me, so we maintained a pure friendship. Later, as my training period ended, I breathed a sigh of relief, because I was afraid that I might not be able to control my feelings if it continued like this, and as long as I finished my training and returned to China, our lives would not intersect much, and then I would naturally be able to disperse those thoughts that I shouldn't have!,
After a pause, Qin Xuan continued, "Unfortunately, I took it for granted. After returning to China, Sun Ying did not contact me very often, but I could not help it. Whenever I encountered something bothering me, I would talk to her, and she would reply me very quickly. In this way, we began to have a relationship limited to online chatting, but neither of us had ever said anything that exceeded the boundaries of friendship! Until a few months ago, she told me that she was going back to China to develop her career and asked me to welcome her back, and I... agreed!"
"On the night of her welcome party, I drank too much, she drank too much, and then something happened that shouldn't have happened. Since then, I... I have completely sunk into it!
Facing Ye Chen who knew his secret, Qin Xuan really didn't dare to hide anything and told him frankly everything that happened between him and Sun Ying.
"Does she know that you have a wife and daughter?" Ye Chen asked.
"I know. I told her, but I didn't tell her that Yuanyuan is an associate professor at Sun Yat-sen University, nor did I tell her that the top leader of Jiangzhou is my father-in-law!" Qin Xuan said.
"Knowing that you have a wife and daughter, she doesn't mind?" Ye Chen shook his head again intriguingly.
"She doesn't mind. She said she won't affect my family! As long as I want to leave, I can leave at any time, and she will never bring me any trouble or trouble!" Qin Xuan said.
Little did he know that Ye Chen was sighing sadly.
Then he asked, "How much do you know about her? Or should I say, how much do you know about her background?
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I know that she studied at Magic City University before, and later went to the United States to study, and later joined the world-class THG academic exchange organization. During the time we knew each other, she also received honors awarded by THG and received high-end offers from many first-class companies!
Hear this.
Ye Chen's sorrowful sigh turned into open mockery.
Because what he was waiting for was Qin Xuan to say this.
"Okay, now I have one last question. Why would a girl who graduated from a top domestic college, studied in an American university, and successfully joined the THG academic exchange organization that is regarded as a temple by countless students and even the whole world, and is favored by many first-class companies, fall in love with you? Why is she so caring for you? Why is she willing to be your underground lover who can be summoned and dismissed at will? Because you are average-looking, because you don't have a high income, because you have a wife and children, because it's fun to be a mistress, and because underground love is exciting, right?"
At the end, Ye Chen threw out a series of soul-searching questions
