My Perfect Female CEO

The issues with the research institute are significant; it is a topic that causes heartache.

When Uncle Sun inquired about the situation, he was mentally prepared.

With his wisdom and experience, he could naturally envision this.

Yet, when he received Ye Fan’s affirmative response, his expression couldn’t help but sink to the bottom.

The chess piece in Uncle Sun’s hand remained unplaced, tightly held in his palm.

He raised his head and, with a hint of pain, asked, "How severe are the internal issues within the institute?"

Uncle Sun used almost all his strength to ask this unavoidable question.

"As far as I know, Shang Xiaoran’s husband, Han Zizhen, is highly suspicious. This is already confirmed, and alongside other doubts, the shortcomings within the research institute are truly astounding," Ye Fan said without hesitation.

"I prided myself on having keen eyes, yet I couldn’t avoid becoming that of an old man with dim sight." Uncle Sun’s sharp gaze slightly dimmed, as if he had perceived something wrong, leaving him deeply impacted.

Ye Fan didn’t care about what kind of emotional reaction Uncle Sun had; he was unfamiliar with everyone within the institute, so he had no personal feelings attached.

No matter who has problems, everything should be executed impartially, without worrying about anyone.

Uncle Sun was different; he had spent many years at the institute, and many of the young talents and geniuses were his juniors.

Given this situation, Uncle Sun felt a sense of grief as some of the promising individuals veered off the right path; he was powerless and could only lament.

"Uncle Sun, it seems you are quite familiar with Han Zizhen?" Ye Fan asked meaningfully.

It was clear to him that this important person was suspect, and upon mentioning Han Zizhen’s name alone, Uncle Sun had such a reaction.

It was evident that Uncle Sun regarded Han Zizhen differently.

This kind of questioning naturally sought to glean important information from Uncle Sun’s mouth.

Especially about Han Zizhen.

How could Uncle Sun not grasp the underlying meaning of Ye Fan’s words?

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Han Zizhen is an exceptionally talented genius with achievements and aptitudes that are outstanding. Apart from his poor background that invites idle gossip, he is completely an exemplary and elite prodigy."

"The union of Han Zizhen and Shang Xiaoran was fraught with trials and tribulations, and to this day remains a celebrated tale within the institute, a model of lovers becoming united, envied and respected by many."

"Back then, when the two were in love, Shang Xiaoran’s parents looked down on Han Zizhen."

"Fortunately, the two eventually came together."

"I’ve watched these two grow to where they are today; if anyone else said Han Zizhen had problems, I would rather believe an impossibility than this outcome."

"However, I believe your words."

"It’s pitiful, it’s sorrowful."

"Han Zizhen has taken a path with no return; I feel regret on his behalf."

"Shang Xiaoran has encountered such tribulations, I feel disappointed."

With a change in expression, Uncle Sun shared a rare and extensive dialogue.

He couldn’t understand Han Zizhen’s choice; besides considering it worthless, it was regrettable.

However, his concern and affection for Shang Xiaoran were much greater.

If Han Zizhen were caught, how would Shang Xiaoran carry on?

As an elder, he couldn’t help but worry about Shang Xiaoran’s life and future.

He even prayed that Han Zizhen was still the outstanding younger generation in his eyes.

But he knew this was self-deception.

"No wonder Uncle Sun said he was dim-sighted from old age, so that’s how it is," Ye Fan thought with a sigh.
