I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 195 - Destroying Stars is Money Laundering

Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Destroying Stars is Money Laundering Chapter 195 -195 Destroying Stars is Money Laundering Yuan Xi woke up early to find the video call still going, her phone’s battery nearly drained.

She could faintly hear Huo Shiyuan’s soft breathing as he slept soundly on the video.

Yuan Xi ended the video call and then dialed the nanny to check on Lele and Anan, her yearning for them reaching its peak.

She longed to quickly resolve Mi Chen’s troubles and return to Jiang City as soon as possible.

When Yuan Xi arrived at Mi Chen’s, she saw Zhong Xiaoyi wearing light makeup: “Xiao Yi, you’re here so early?”

Zhong Xiaoyi chuckled, “There’s a lot going on at the company lately. Mr. Gu got drunk last night and probably won’t arrive at the office until after ten, so I’m preparing the documents he needs to handle.”

Yuan Xi asked, “He’s still in the mood to get drunk?”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “Chairman Gu gave him an earful. Lately, Miss Gu has been traveling all over the world on business trips, and many of the places she visits are neither safe nor convenient. Even with lots of security, dangers can’t be completely avoided, especially now with some regions being so unstable. Chairman Gu wants Mr. Gu to return and help Miss Gu out, feeling it wouldn’t matter if Mi Chen went under, but Mr. Gu isn’t willing.”

Yuan Xi understood that in the eyes of Gu Hanchen’s father’s generation, only tangible industries were seen as true entrepreneurship.

Yuan Xi looked at yesterday’s stock price for Mi Chen, which had uncontrollably taken quite a hit, partly due to the influence of Mi Yi.

She held a meeting with the HR department about recruiting new programmers for negotiations.

After a full three hours of meeting, Yuan Xi planned to treat the HR colleagues to a nice meal at Shiyi Hotel, as a reward for the busy times ahead.

As she was leaving the meeting room, her secretary, Tao Wen, came rushing over: “President Yuan, something terrible has happened. Mi Chen’s database has been successfully attacked by a hacker named J, and now the data of players from several popular games have been compromised.”

Just as Gu Hanchen reached the door of the meeting room, he heard the news and was infuriated. “Damn it! What the hell is the operations department doing?”

Yuan Xi said, “The operations department has lost the majority of its staff; yelling at them won’t solve anything. Things are as they are, let’s go have lunch instead.”

Gu Hanchen frowned, “Lunch, again? You’re still in the mood to eat? If this client data gets out, expect Mi Chen’s stock to tank harder than hell itself!”

Yuan Xi responded, “Even if the stock tanks harder than hell, we still need to eat. I’m treating everyone to a big meal at Shiyi today.”

Gu Hanchen gave Yuan Xi a thumbs up, “You really do keep your composure. If the customer data is leaked, you’ll be drowning in player vitriol.”

Yuan Xi asked, “Are you eating or not? If not, forget it.”

Gu Hanchen retorted, “Eat, eat, eat; it’s like a final meal for my poor little Mi Chen, feeling like a forsaken child after a parental divorce…”

Yuan Xi had made a reservation for a private room at Shiyi early in the morning.

The head of the HR department, Group Leader Li, stepped outside the room after receiving a phone call.

Looking into the room from outside, Group Leader Li spoke into the phone, “Sister Mi Yi, yes, Mi Chen’s data has indeed been held hostage by the hacker J, and Mr. Gu is furious. But Yuan Xi seems very calm and is even treating us to a meal at Shiyi.”

Mi Yi looked out from her office in the CBD skyscraper in Jiang City, the tall building offered a view of the old western-style houses across the bank.

Mi Yi chuckled lightly, “Yuan Xi is headed down a dead-end street! She’ll pay the price she deserves.”

After hanging up the phone, Mi Yi scrolled through her contact list and found a number: “Bo Chi, could you transfer ten million dollars to hacker J’s account?”

The voice on the phone was clear, “A trivial matter, no need for thanks.”

Mi Yi chuckled while gazing at the cityscape, spinning in her swivel chair, savoring the joy of success.

Ultimately, the exposure of client information due to a hacker’s blackmail was a result of Yuan Xi’s ingratitude leading to Mi Chen’s programmers resigning and creating vulnerabilities for cyber-attacks.

This was not a scandal that could be simply washed away with a seafood noodle treat!

Mi Chen’s stock would definitely fall, even if Yuan Xi had the most shares, she was certain to be pressured by public opinion to leave the board and depart from Mi Chen.

—

By the afternoon at Mi Chen, everyone wore a look of worry, concerned for their own future.

But even as they left work, the customer data of Mi Chen had not been leaked.

The head of the PR department, Fang Qin, didn’t dare leave at this time. She went to Yuan Xi’s office and said, “Chairman Yuan, this is the PR draft I prepared for the data leak caused by the hackers at Mi Chen. I think Mi Yi will still opt for the angle that we ungratefully kick out the founder.”

Yuan Xi chuckled at Fang Qin, “There’s no need to prepare a PR draft, Hacker J won’t leak the data he’s holding hostage.”

“What?” Fang Qin was bewildered.

Yuan Xi glanced at the time on her watch and said, “Call it a day. There really won’t be much happening in PR for a while, and everyone has worked hard. I’ve spoken with the admin department; your team will enjoy the first and second batch of overseas trips. You arrange the scheduling.”

“The big campus recruitment drive starts in April and May. Arranging for the first batch of overseas trips for your department also means that PR will need to promote Mi Chen’s employee benefits, so we can attract more graduates to apply at the recruitment fair.”

“Understood, Chairman Yuan,” responded Fang Qin.

Yuan Xi left work early, a rarity, eager to see her two children. So, she asked her driver to pick her up and take her back to City A. If she got up earlier the next day, she could return to Jiang City.

If it wasn’t for rush hour, the drive was just over two hours—a commute time not considered long by many big-city standards.

On the highway, the scenery flashed by in reverse.

Yuan Xi received a call from Huo Shiyuan.

Seeing Yuan Xi in the car with the highway outside, Huo Shiyuan asked, “You’re heading back to City A?”

“Uh-huh, I miss the babies too much.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “Isn’t shuttling between the two cities tiring?”

“Not really, it’s not too exhausting to travel by car.”

Huo Shiyuan informed her, “Jackson traced the US Dollar payment from Mi Yi to the Bo Family.”

The Bo Family, Yuan Xi almost forgot about them. They had gone bankrupt less than a year ago, but now they were utterly ousted from Jiang City…

Yuan Xi inquired, “Bo Fan’s Bo Family?”

“Yes, the very one that designed Bo Fan’s massive gamble,” Huo Shiyuan continued, “With Destroying Stars making such a large investment, it’s quite possible that it isn’t an investment at all but money laundering.

Second Young Master Bao put a lot of effort into getting Bo Fan addicted to drugs, leading to the Bo Family’s bankruptcy in Jiang City. He won’t be content hiding out in Southeast Asia forever; he’s surely planning a return to Jiang City…

Second Young Master Bao needs a legitimate way to launder his money into the country. Mi Yi has financial dealings with them, and the ten million US Dollars come from Bo Chi, Second Young Master Bao’s most valued grandson. Be extra careful lately, don’t leave your bodyguards, and avoid riding in Gu Hanchen’s car.”

“Alright, got it,” Yuan Xi was also concerned about Huo Shiyuan, “Be careful yourself.”

“Will do, I should be back in about three days,” replied Huo Shiyuan.

Looking at Huo Shiyuan on her phone, Yuan Xi realized it wasn’t just the babies she missed, she missed Huo Shiyuan too…

Even though they called daily, it had only been three days since they last saw each other, and she already longed for Huo Shiyuan’s embrace…

Yuan Xi confessed, “I miss you.”

Hearing Yuan Xi’s words, Huo Shiyuan’s voice came deep and husky, “I miss you too.”
