Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets

Chapter 187

“Sigh.”

Di Yuntian sighed from the side as well.

He was clearly at a loss for words regarding his wife, Song Liqin.

In the business world, he was a master strategist, yet he was utterly helpless when faced with a woman like her.

If Song Liqin were ever to change her mind, it would probably require a complete brain transplant.

At that thought, Di Yuntian couldn’t help but shake his head.

Di Shijing glanced at him and said calmly, “Father, I’ll have to trouble you to expend a bit more energy during this period. Keep an eye on your wife and don’t let her go crazy again.”

Hearing his son’s words, Di Yuntian glared at him in dissatisfaction. “She is your mother, after all. It’s inappropriate for you to speak like that.”

Di Shijing remained noncommittal.

Di Yuntian also knew deep down that this wasn’t his son’s fault, so he couldn’t truly blame him for his attitude. He didn’t pursue the matter further and instead asked, “What’s going on between you and Zhiyi? Do you really plan on reconciling?”

He had heard rumors about what had been happening at the company lately.

However, Di Yuntian had never been one to interfere in such things.

He didn’t have much of an aversion to Nan Zhiyi. If his son truly had that intention, he wouldn’t say anything. He had never interfered in his son’s decisions, even if his wife threw a fit every single time…

Di Shijing fell silent for a moment. A strange feeling flickered in his heart as he shook his head. “No, I have no such plans.”

Di Yuntian didn’t quite believe that. He thought to himself, If you really didn’t have those plans, why would you cause such a stir? The entire company is gossiping about it now…

But in front of Di Shijing, Di Yuntian didn’t voice his thoughts. He simply told his son, “Handle it as you see fit. I can’t control it anyway.”

With that, he said nothing more, stood up, and left.

After Song Liqin left Dijinglan Mansion, she was still fuming with rage.

She couldn’t understand why the three men in her family were always against her.

Eventually, she shifted all the blame onto Nan Zhiyi.

“That damn vixen, Nan Zhiyi! It’s all her fault!”

If it weren’t for her, how could Jing refuse to acknowledge her as his mother!

Song Liqin grew angrier as she cursed, stomping her feet in frustration.

“No, Nan Zhiyi has too much influence. I can’t let her stay at the Di Corporation any longer…”

She had to find a way to get rid of Nan Zhiyi!

At this thought, Song Liqin narrowed her eyes dangerously, her gaze turning dark and sinister…

The next day.

After having breakfast, Nan Zhiyi went to the company.

It had been quite a few days since she arrived at the Di Corporation, and the formulas she had taken over for optimization were finally showing results.

The perfume selected for this project was one of their existing bestsellers.

The proportions of the ingredients had been recalibrated and improved.

Nan Zhiyi was busy all morning, and finally, just before lunch, she successfully synthesized the new version of the perfume!

She took a dropper and held it to her nose to take a whiff. The top note was a tranquil, fresh scent of pine; the middle note carried a hint of sweetness and was very refreshing. What made it truly unique was the base note, which carried the crisp, cold fragrance of ice and snow.

Nan Zhiyi was quite satisfied with the result and immediately called Di Shijing to inform him.

A moment later, Di Shijing arrived at the R&D Department in person, with Zhou Yi following behind him.

“Where is the optimized version? Let me see.”

Hearing this, Nan Zhiyi directly handed the test tube next to her to Di Shijing.

Seeing how confident she was, Di Shijing opened the seal. Before long, a crisp, clear fragrance drifted into the air.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes. He couldn’t help but bring the test tube closer for a gentle sniff.

The fragrance filled his nose. Not only did it lack the common flaw of ordinary perfumes-becoming pungent after smelling it too much-but it even made one feel a faint, sweet fruity scent mixed within.

However, that touch of sweetness quickly dissipated.

In the end, it left behind an extremely elegant aura that made one want to linger and savor it further.

Though Di Shijing wasn’t an expert in this field, he could tell that the perfume in his hand was significantly more sophisticated than the original…

“The fragrance inside a test tube might not perform as well at every stage as it should.”
Nan Zhiyi spoke as she picked up the bottled perfume she had just finished portioning and gave it two sprays.

Instantly, a crisp, cool fragrance diffused through the air.

Lin Zhizhi, standing right beside her, caught the scent clearly. Beyond its familiarity, she was struck by an overwhelming sense of shock.

The perfume Nan Zhiyi had chosen to optimize was the very one Lin Zhizhi’s own team had developed. It was one of Di Corporation’s bestsellers, named ‘Glacier Eternal.’

Because of this, Lin Zhizhi was more familiar with the original scent of Glacier Eternal than anyone else!

Yet, the moment she smelled it just now, she was instantly certain: this was how the perfume was always meant to be!

This was the scent it should have had all along!

She didn’t know how Nan Zhiyi had done it, but the woman had taken the existing foundation and allowed the perfume’s soul to evaporate more thoroughly, more perfectly.

In that moment, Lin Zhizhi finally understood why their President had offered such a high salary to hire Nan Zhiyi.

Optimizing a formula was no easier than creating a new perfume from scratch.

If the original perfume was a hundred-point success, Nan Zhiyi’s task was to take that hundred-point product and elevate it to a thousand points.

This wasn’t a simple improvement; it was a qualitative leap for the product.

Anyone capable of achieving this was certainly no mere show-off.

No longer caring that her President was still present, Lin Zhizhi hurried over and asked excitedly, “Zhiyi, this scent is incredible! You actually managed to optimize this perfume!”

After all, the previous formula for Glacier Eternal had already outperformed many big-name perfumes on the market. Lin Zhizhi was now filled with utter admiration for Nan Zhiyi, her voice brimming with curiosity. “How on earth did you do it?”

The others saw the commotion and gathered around.

After catching a whiff, they all marveled sincerely. “This scent is so much more sophisticated than before!”

“Is this what a top-tier expert is capable of? She truly lives up to her reputation as Aletta’s right-hand assistant.”

Research Lab 2 suddenly became lively.

Over the past few days, everyone had watched Nan Zhiyi study data alone, busy herself with blending various aromatic essential oils and materials, and pace back and forth. They hadn’t known what she was up to.

Even though they had become well-acquainted with her, they couldn’t help but harbor some skepticism.

But now, the facts told them that Nan Zhiyi was the real deal!

Relying solely on herself, she had optimized a perfume formula. This level of professional competence was simply unrivaled!

Everyone was thoroughly impressed, showering Nan Zhiyi with praise. Seeing this, Di Shijing felt quite satisfied as well.

She was, after all, the person he had personally headhunted.

Di Shijing placed the dropper back onto the test tube rack and said to Nan Zhiyi, “It is good. Better than any other fragrance Di Corporation has.”

Having her strength recognized made Nan Zhiyi feel quite pleased. She couldn’t help but lift her chin slightly and say, “Of course. Since I’ve come here, I won’t just settle for doing a mediocre job!”

Watching the woman look so confident, appearing almost radiant, a flicker of hard-to-detect admiration surfaced in Di Shijing’s eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up. “It seems the high price I paid to hire you wasn’t a waste. Keep up the good work.”

“No problem.”

Nan Zhiyi immediately gave him an ‘OK’ gesture.

Lin Zhizhi was so overexcited by now that she had completely forgotten Di Shijing was there.

She grabbed Nan Zhiyi’s arm and suggested eagerly, “This is such a great occasion! Let’s go out and celebrate tonight. It’s my treat!”

The others were also thrilled and joined in the clamor. “The Deputy Director is so generous! I want the most expensive seafood feast, or I’m not going.”

“Yeah! And after dinner, let’s go hit a bar for the night!”

“I know a great club where the girls are gorgeous and there are tons of handsome guys! We can even call a few over to keep us company!”

“…”

“Keep you company?”

A sudden, cold voice rang out.

Di Shijing narrowed his eyes, looking at the group with an expression that was impossible to read.
