Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system-Chapter 522 Athena: I don’t earn anything!

Ling Qingyu shook her head and changed the topic. "Have you sent my girls to Elena? Where's Azi?"

She was referring to her subordinates who accompanied her during swat impersonation. Athena quickly replied. "Yes, Mom. Azi is on the way to Elena. I bet they are too happy to witness a change."

Somewhere inside a helicopter. The girls exchanged helpless glances and sighed. They were taken away by Azi under Ling Qingyu's new orders.

As subordinates, obeying the boss' words was correct but they felt saddened at the thoughts of leaving Ling Qingyu's residence, out of their comfort zone—no delicious meals, no excellent training equipment, and no fun.

They greeted Ling Qingyu's ancestor and snarled at the reward for their company. Of course, these feelings might change soon once they meet Elena.

"I assume, they must be cursing me a lot." Ling Qingyu laughed.

Athena checked the CCTV on the helicopter and was amazed at her mother's foresight. As expected of her omniscient mother, she guessed everything.

"Alright, analyze Country K's situation for me and report anything where I can intervene in public sight." Ling Qingyu requested Athena's help.

"So, it's your hand that messes up our neighbor." Gu Yi sounded from behind.

Ling Qingyu didn't panic when she was discovered. She detected Gu Yi long ago since her ears could sense any person around. Plus, Athena could check her surroundings so thoroughly that it was impossible to miss a living person.

Not to mention, Athena would definitely warn to hide secrets from outsiders if she spotted eavesdropping behavior. A stage was played by Ling Qingyu and Athena.

"Aunt Gu can't sleep?"

"I have taken a short nap. Besides, as you grow older, it's very difficult to catch sleep." Gu Yi shook her head and took a seat. "Why are you still on the seat after so long?"

"How long has the time passed?" Ling Qingyu was a little surprised.

"Nearly an hour. You really sat here for an hour. I don't know whether to scold you or praise you."

Ling Qingyu was dumbfounded until Athena confirmed Gu Yi's words. Although an hour was an exaggeration, she had sat for more than half an hour. "Then, I better stretch my limbs and walk around."

Ling Qingyu stood up and moved her limbs as if exercising a warm-up session. However, doing so in a work suit appeared weird, causing Gu Yi to show a helpless expression.

"Okay, stop trying to change the subject, is it true that you're making moves in Country K?"

Ling Qingyu shrugged and didn't answer. Gu Yi understood and sighed. "I never expect you to be behind-the-scene party. Although I guess it was your hands based on your sister's comeback moment, to hear it from you personally that you mess the reputable Qin family alone with the help of a hacker is astonishing."

"I didn't say, it was me. Aunt Gu, you're talking by yourselves." Ling Qingyu smiled.

"You kiddo. Do you still have to hide from me?" Gu Yi was speechless at Ling Qingyu's miserable acting skills.

Of course, she knew Ling Qingyu did it on purpose of not being able to act properly. As a capable businesswoman, how could one not act to reach Ling Qingyu's height? Even Gu Yi, herself, was the same.

Thinking of her past and comparing it with Ling Qingyu's deeds, she shared a sense of camaraderie. "Is Athena the hacker you hired? How much is the salary you give so that I can recruit her to our national cyber unit? She must be so formidable to give headaches to that proud department."

"I'm sorry, did you just assume the gender?" Ling Qingyu asked with a frown.

Gu Yi was puzzled and laughed coldly after some realization. "Stop giving me those bullshits from other continents. It doesn't matter if I refer incorrectly as long as both know who I'm talking about. But, isn't Athena a woman? Based on your interactions and preference for females, I automatically assume, the hacker is a she."

Ling Qingyu chuckled as well and stepped up the fun. "To your question, she earns a million per month. I don't want her to be my opponent plus she's close to me too. So, I'll have to pay a lot to befriend her."

"1 million yuan, a month. Though it's a lot, it's not bad. Given her talent, the money is worth it."

"Sorry, it's in dollars." Ling Qingyu returned Gu Yi's self mumbling mercilessly.

"Pfft…Ahem." Gu Yi seemed uncomfortable as she cleared her throat and patted her chest. "1 million dollars a month?"

"Hmm, that doesn't include the fees I have to pay according to the action taken." Ling Qingyu laughed inwardly as she raised Athena's standard to a god realm.

Gu Yi's eyes budged and she stopped thinking about poaching Athena away from Ling Qingyu, having no idea her target was merely an AI, no, a living AI, who would never betray Ling Qingyu.

Gu Yi: "No, no. Even if I pressed others to invite her, no one would agree. She's like a goddess for us, unattainable."

Ling Qingyu expressed contempt at the government: "With all the taxes, really, you cannot afford her? How come I can?"

"It's not a matter of can or can't. She's someone, nobody would invest in."

"Are you sure, Aunt Gu? Most politicians will target her because they aren't safe from her hands. Even if I say you invited Athena, she wouldn't work for someone, who is so keen on eliminating her."

Gu Yi: "That's why I said, I can't afford her. If I bring her in, I must be responsible to the end. I don't fear her since the deeds I've done wrong never broke morals and ethics. They might seem wrong but I made the right choice, given the circumstances. So, Athena must be happy earning a lot, even if she does nothing."

Athena waved her fist in protest and cried out in displeasure, which was selectively ignored by her mother. What salary? She worked 24 hours without any payment. Experience tales at novelbuddy

Ling Qingyu nodded in understanding and admired Gu Yi's courage. Unlike others, she, as a veteran politician, didn't have any fears regarding Athena's existence.

"Good for you, Aunt Gu."

"Hmm…thanks." Gu Yi shrugged. "But I'm curious, don't you think your hands are moving too much to intervene outside."

Ling Qingyu raised her hand. "Come on, I didn't do anything. It's someone, who can't stand the injustice caused by the country's system for the rich to exploit these loopholes. Don't you know more clearly about the situation there? Sooner or later there would be a battle between classes. I see nothing more than a party unveiling secrets hidden from the public."

"If you say it this way, I have no words," Gu Yi said. "Their system is indeed too obvious for oppression. I cannot blame you for being hot-blooded."

"I'll say again. These had nothing to do with me. I don't want to accept an unfounded charge and ruin myself." Ling Qingyu pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.

Gu Yi smacked her lips in disgust at Ling Qingyu's speech. Why would this girl not leave a handle for her mother-in-law? So, inconsiderate of her elder.

"Okay, don't look at me as if I'm a scoundrel." Ling Qingyu pressed her fingers against the temple and rubbed the skin lightly to alleviate the pressure. "Fortunately, you aren't like Sister Yue, keen to change my way of thought."

"What's wrong with my daughter? She follows my style."

"Of course, nothing's wrong. I'm just admiring the mother is more mature and thoughtful." Ling Qingyu changed her tone immediately.

Gu Yi merely stared at Ling Qingyu as a response until the latter blushed and looked away. Clicking her tongue, Gu Yi didn't forget to exchange scolding remarks.

"How about you take a look at my business? All my industries are listed on the tablet. Of course, I can only show you summaries before we discuss about our cooperation." Ling Qingyu handed over the device, kept inside her handbag on the table.

"What makes you so confident that I'm open for discussion?" Gu Yi raised her brows but her hands grasped Ling Qingyu's tablet and began to study.

Gu Yi read the title—Spirit Group. Just from the name, she understood to what extent Ling Qingyu's ambition lay. Under the group, these separate industries raised her interest.

Even though Ling Qingyu explained them on the way here, Gu Yi eyed the information carefully. From automakers, agriculture, electronics, software and hardware to clothing and beauty products, Ling Qingyu's investments were entirely positive.

Looking at the statistics showcased, free cash flow, revenue, costs, and profit percentage, Gu Yi had a rough understanding and was impressed.

Perhaps, the industry began recently that the profit margin wasn't huge for the automobile and agriculture sectors. The former earned money but the latter seemed to only breakeven.

As for software, Gu Yi was astonished by the huge amount of profit, dazzling her eyes to take a second look. These incomes came from internet app sales and advertisement.

If Ling Qingyu added the products they discussed inside the Bentley, like 7 nm chips, Gu Yi dared not imagine the impact.
