The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Big Shot Job Hunting on Site

Ye Qilan couldn’t bear the thought of all the preparations he made going to waste!

Only by restarting the Beidou Star project could he reclaim everything he desired!

These people don’t understand the true value of a genius!

Ye Qilan’s hands trembled as he pointed at Madam Pei, shaking so much he looked like he had Parkinson’s.

“Du Lanyi, breaking ties with me now is of no benefit to you whatsoever!”

Madam Pei smiled indifferently.

“Benefit? The only benefit I want is to not feel a pang of guilt when I see old acquaintances again someday!”

These past few days, Madam Pei had thought it all through.

Rather than exhausting herself, it was better to drive others mad!

No reason for the young ones to charge ahead while the old folks, who were one foot in the grave, sat back and enjoyed the fruits of their labor.

“Du Lanyi, you’ve done plenty of despicable things in your youth, so where do you get the gall to accuse me now?”

Madam Pei clapped her hands, and several police officers filed into the room.

“Go ahead, report me. I dare to report you, but do you dare to report me?”

Madam Pei didn’t want Ye Qilan to be arrested.

What she wanted was for him to lose all dignity and see his reputation in ruins!

This was what people like Ye Qilan feared the most.

What could be more agonizing than seeing the ideals and dreams you’ve fought for your entire life turn into nothingness? That pierced Ye Qilan’s heart deeply!

Watching Ye Qilan being taken away, Qingwu let out a sigh of relief.

Pei Jue squeezed her palm.

He reassured her, “He won’t be getting out easily. Let him have a good time in there reflecting on his mistakes.”

The forces behind Ye Qilan would definitely do everything to protect him!

Qingwu chuckled lightly and turned to face the group from Beidou Star standing behind her.

“It’s alright. He wants to create stars? I’ll make sure he learns that in this world, stars only belong in the sky. From now on, everything tied to Ye Qilan and those forces behind him—I will crush it all!”

The girl’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was thunderous!

Someone on-site rubbed their hands together.

Carefully, they approached Qingwu.

“Um… Boss, does your lab accept new members? I can do anything—even janitorial work! Here’s my résumé!”

Seeing someone applying for a job on the spot, others quickly became impatient.

“I can do it too! As long as I can join Beidou Star Laboratory, I’d even serve tea and water!”

The ones who had earlier been pestering Qingwu and Ziwei for apologies now wore flattering smiles, “Boss, if you’re willing to take us, we’ll ditch our current labs without hesitation…”

Qingwu hadn’t expected that what was supposed to be a scientific conference had turned into a recruitment fair.

Her gaze swept over several researchers standing behind her.

Meeting their eager eyes, Qingwu said, “Sorry, we only hire lab members under thirty and with hair.”

The researchers were teary-eyed!

“I’m not even thirty yet…”

But as for baldness, who in scientific research wasn’t balding?!

To think they were just one step away from joining their idol’s lab, only to be rejected for lacking hair…

This was beyond heartbreaking!

Shen Shaojia grabbed Qingwu’s wrist excitedly, her face full of joy!

“Qingwu… You—you—you, are you my idol? Ahhh, this is the happiest moment of my life!”

Realizing her idol was standing right in front of her, Shen Shaojia felt like her entire body was bubbling with pink happiness!

“It’s me, big sis. Sorry I didn’t tell you before.”

Shen Shaojia hugged Qingwu tightly, burying her head on her shoulder, her voice choking slightly.

“What nonsense are you saying? I’m the one who, as your sister, didn’t know anything about your past!”

“You’ve had it tough, Qingwu. It must’ve been hard before, but I swear it won’t be like that anymore!”

“Your brothers and I will always be your front-line and rear support!”

After the scientific summit ended, back at the hotel, the Shen Family was still reeling from the events…

What on earth just happened!

The four Shen brothers looked at Qingwu with complicated emotions, each one stunned, clearly not yet out of their earlier shock.

She was supposed to be the youngest in the family.

In their eyes, Qingwu was the most simple-hearted and kind, deserving unconditional love from the entire family.

Who would’ve guessed that she was the genius who had shaken the entire scientific community?

Even though the Shen Family’s children were all incredibly accomplished, achieving this level was enough to make their knees weak…

Their little sister was just too amazing!

While they felt proud, Shen Boyi’s heart ached as well.

Qingwu felt warmth in her heart and apologized softly, “I’m sorry, big brother, I didn’t want you all to worry, so I kept it from you.”

“It’s me who failed to take care of you!”

Shen Jishi pushed aside the self-blaming “mom-like” Shen Boyi without hesitation.

He approached Qingwu and spun her around in a circle cheerfully!

“Qingwu, is there any other surprise you’ve hidden from us? You’re just too incredible!”

If it were surprises, there might still be many more…

Though the line between surprise and shock might blur!

Tu Lan quickly scolded Shen Jishi.

“Put your sister down! If she gets hurt, I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson you won’t forget!”

Shen Zhongshuang looked at Pei Jue standing beside Qingwu and frowned, “Did you know about this all along? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Pei Jue’s lips curled slightly, radiating an indescribable air of dominance.

“I figured it out with my own skills; why would I tell you?”

In other words, it was a secret he had discovered himself!

Moreover, since this was one of Qingwu’s hidden identities, Pei Jue preferred to keep it as their shared secret rather than making it public!

“If Qingwu didn’t want to reveal it herself, I wouldn’t decide on her behalf.”

Shen Boyi stepped forward, his tone heavy, “…Thank you.”

“Thank you for figuring out Qingwu’s secret, for ensuring she didn’t face countless challenges alone!”

For the Shen Family, the shock of Qingwu’s hidden identity was one thing.

But their hearts also ached for her.

A wave of warmth washed over Qingwu, and she smiled softly, “Big brother, I’m not alone—I have many companions.”

Behind her stood the entirety of Beidou Star as her unwavering support!

Seeing Tian Yue’s familiar face, Shen Shaojia slapped her forehead.

“Qingwu, back at Vermilion Bird Laboratory, the person who stood up for me—it was you, wasn’t it? How did I not recognize you back then!”

Even though that had been the moment when Shen Shaojia was closest to Qingwu, she hadn’t realized that the person in front of her was her youngest sister.

This made her feel deeply regretful!

Tian Yue patted Shen Shaojia on the shoulder.

“When our boss doesn’t want her secrets revealed, there’s no way you’d guess!”

Zuo Jing’an, the elder, still felt uneasy.

“Qingwu, your lab—how is it operating now?”

Qingwu picked up the conversation thread effortlessly.

She explained, “We only conduct scientific research; we don’t handle development directly. Both our family’s company and Pei Jue’s family company have corresponding collaborative projects with us. We focus on research and patent sales—it’s entirely safe. Moving forward, there will no longer be a Beidou Star.”

“Everyone has resumed their individual jobs and started new lives!”

Zuo Jing’an’s concern was solely for her safety!

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Beidou Star will remain in the sky—there’s no chance for the project to reemerge.”

“Grandpa is just worried about you. If Ye Qilan goes berserk, he could still pose risks, so be cautious! Pei Jue, I’m entrusting my granddaughter’s protection to you!”

Zuo Jing’an was one of the few who knew about Pei Jue’s skills.

Having him protect Qingwu—only then could he rest easy!
