60: Chapter 6 System Upgrade

Chen Ling took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"I haven't even finished speaking, why are you all interrupting?"

The executives burst out laughing.

"President Chen, you're just not cut out for this. Why do you insist on meddling in our software development projects?"

Chen Ling's face was full of rage.

Ever since Shen Yan left, these executives had become increasingly defiant toward her.

She didn't understand.

In what way was she inferior to Shen Yan? Why wouldn't these people listen to her?!

"What do you mean I'm 'not cut out for this'? If I weren't, how has the company been making money?"

The executives rolled their eyes in unison.

The reason their company was still profitable was entirely due to the foundation laid by previous projects.

Since Shen Yan's departure, the company had been going downhill day by day.

Not only were the invested projects failing to turn a profit, but they were also losing a lot of money.

The software being developed by the company was also subpar.

Given all that, how could they trust Chen Ling?

"Fine, even if you don't believe in me, you must believe in Shen Yan, right?"

Upon hearing Shen Yan's name, the expressions of the executives shifted one after another.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Ling closed her eyes and replied:

"It's simple. Shen Yan is back; he's returned to our industry. I know you all used to work under him, but don't forget, he is no longer the boss of this company."

"In other words..."

Chen Ling curled her lips into a smirk.

"He is now our company's competitor. He's here to steal our livelihood."

The executives understood Chen Ling's point.

"So, you're saying Shen Yan wants to develop a recruitment and job-seeking software, and what we need to do is beat him to it and launch that type of software first."

Chen Ling snapped her fingers.

"Exactly, that's what I mean. Whether you want to do it or not is up to you!"

After saying this, she stood up and left the meeting room directly.

...

Regarding Chen Ling's plan to plagiarize his project idea,

Shen Yan was completely unaware. He was still on his way to visit his sister.

Upon arriving at the nursing home, he went to see the doctor first.

"Doctor, how has my sister's condition been lately?"

The doctor shook his head and replied, "Still the same as before, no real change."

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment before asking the doctor, "What do you think if I send my sister abroad now?"

The doctor hadn't expected Shen Yan to plan on sending his sister abroad so soon.

He froze for a moment then replied to Shen Yan, "I feel like you don't need to be in such a hurry."

"Of course, if you have the means and want to send her abroad now, it's not impossible. But my suggestion is that you'd better go with her."

Shen Yan frowned and asked, "Do I have to go with her? I'm going to be very busy lately and won't be able to go with her."

The doctor's response was brief.

"My suggestion is that it's best if you go with her. You wouldn't want the first person your sister sees when she wakes up to not be you, would you?"

Shen Yan was left speechless.

Indeed, he did not want the first person his sister saw upon waking up to be anyone other than himself.

Returning to the ward, he looked at his sleeping sister and silently made a resolution in his heart.

He had to launch the software as soon as possible and earn five million to send his sister abroad for treatment!

Just as he was visiting his sister, an ordinary wealth intelligence notification arrived.

[Ding! Today's ordinary wealth intelligence: Please go and stand on the road downstairs for five minutes in five minutes' time.]

Seeing this ordinary wealth intelligence, Shen Yan was a bit bewildered.

Go stand on the road downstairs for five minutes?

What did that mean?

After thinking for a while, Shen Yan decided to follow the instructions anyway.

The tycoon system wouldn't lie to him.

There must be a reason the system wanted him to stand on the main road for five minutes.

With that thought, he walked down to the main road.

There were no traffic lights on the road downstairs.

After standing for two minutes, he began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"What's going on..."

Shen Yan's face grew paler and paler.

A few seconds later,

his vision went black, and he collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

When he woke up again,

he was already in the hospital.

"You're finally awake!"

It was Liu Hui's voice.

Shen Yan rubbed his temples and asked Liu Hui, "What happened to me?"

Liu Hui sighed and replied, "Have you not been resting well lately?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips.

He indeed hadn't been resting well lately.

There were too many things on his mind.

He had been suffering from insomnia and vivid dreams.

"So, I fainted just because I didn't get enough rest?"

Liu Hui nodded.

"I told you a long time ago, no matter how busy you are, you need to pay attention to your rest. Why do you still refuse to listen?"

Shen Yan smiled and replied to Liu Hui:

"I know now. Thank you. But how was I brought to the hospital?"

Liu Hui helped him tuck in the blankets.

"A kind person brought you here. He's outside right now. I'll call him in in a moment, and you can thank him."

Shen Yan nodded.

"Alright."

After a while, a young man walked in from outside the ward.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing that the person's first words were of concern, Shen Yan nodded and replied, "I'm fine. I heard you saved me, thank you."

The other party shook his head and replied,

"It's nothing. I just happened to see you faint by the roadside and called an ambulance for you, that's all."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Shen Yan nodded and bid the person farewell.

Picking up his phone, Shen Yan felt a bit strange.

The ordinary wealth intelligence told him to stand on the road, so why hadn't he gained any wealth?

Was there something wrong with the system??

With that thought, he opened the system panel.

Only to find that the system panel was currently updating.

"Do you want to eat?"

"I cooked some porridge for you; I'll bring it over in a bit."

Seeing Liu Hui coming in to check on him again, Shen Yan nodded and thanked her:

"Thank you..."

Liu Hui smiled and shook her head.

"How many times have you thanked me already? Why are you still saying it?"

Shen Yan answered honestly:

"Because besides saying thank you, I don't know what else to say to you. Every time something happens to me, you're always the one who comes to help."

Just as he finished speaking, a doctor walked in from outside.

"Dr. Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Hui replied, "He's my friend. I came over to ask about his condition."

The doctor nodded and looked at Shen Yan with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Is he a friend or a boyfriend?"

Liu Hui's face flushed as she replied, "Don't talk nonsense!"

After saying that, she walked out of the ward.

Seeing Liu Hui leave, that doctor left as well.

*Ring ring ring, ring ring ring*

The phone rang.

Shen Yan swiped to answer.

"Old Chen, I'm at the hospital right now..."

"This is bad! Old Shen! Something's happened at the company!"
