Chapter 488: Chapter 488 The Secret Recipe Was Stolen!

Early the next morning, Han Jingting was having breakfast at home when she received a phone call from Ding Lijuan.

"Han Jingting, what do you mean by this?"

"Xiao Liang wasn’t trying to bask in your glory, just being your driver, and you still haven’t let it go, even going so far as to make things difficult for him."

"You’ve really gone too far. Have you completely disowned your relatives?!"

As soon as the call connected, Ding Lijuan started berating Han Jingting without allowing her to explain.

Han Jingting was utterly confused, "Mom, what are you talking about? When did I ever make things difficult for Ding Liang? What has he been telling you?"

Ding Lijuan spoke irritably, "Does he even need to say it? He came back last night and said he wanted to resign."

"If he was working just fine, would he want to resign if you didn’t make things difficult for him?!"

"What? He wants to resign?" Han Jingting was very surprised.

She remembered that Ding Liang was all right when he dropped her off yesterday; everything seemed normal, so why would he suddenly want to resign?

This was something Han Jingting couldn’t figure out at all.

But Ding Lijuan didn’t give Han Jingting a chance to explain, "Alright, stop pretending with me!"

"You don’t give us money, and when you’re supposed to help Xiao Liang with his job, you play these underhanded games."

"I’ve seen right through you now. We definitely can’t count on you, our daughter, anymore!"

"That’s all!"

With that, Ding Lijuan hung up the phone without another word.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Han Jingting was extremely frustrated.

Trouble really does come from the sky while you’re sitting at home! She hadn’t done anything, yet she was scolded by her own mother first thing in the morning—she felt it was incredibly unjust!

Han Jingting immediately called Ding Lijuan back, but Ding Lijuan didn’t answer the phone at all.

Calling Ding Liang yielded the same result.

Han Jingting was even more frustrated.

At that moment, Chen Xuan walked in. He had heard Han Jingting’s phone call and asked what exactly had happened.

Han Jingting told him everything about the phone call from Ding Lijuan.

Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "I think Ding Liang’s resignation at this time is probably not that simple!"

Han Jingting was startled, "What do you mean?"

Chen Xuan’s expression remained calm, "I think, once you get to the office, you should check if the safe has been tampered with first!"

Han Jingting caught on to something, "You mean, Ding Liang’s resignation now is because..."

Chen Xuan nodded, "Let’s talk about it after we’ve checked."

Han Jingting couldn’t even bother to finish her breakfast and had Chen Xuan drive her straight to Jiaren Corporation.

Upon arriving at her office, Han Jingting immediately opened the safe.

The next moment, when she saw the folder containing the secret recipe, she froze on the spot.

Indeed, Han Jingting, to ensure absolute safety, had taken an extra precaution—she’d placed a single hair on top of the folder.

This hair was short and fine, almost invisible unless looked at closely.

Every time after she reviewed the secret recipe, she would put the hair back on top.

But now, the hair that should have been on the folder was gone!

"Someone has tampered with the secret recipe!" Han Jingting exclaimed.

"The secret recipe must have been stolen by now! Chen Xuan, what do we do? What should we do now?!"

Han Jingting was acutely aware of the importance of this secret recipe.

For Jiaren Corporation as a whole, the secret recipe was completely the foundation on which they relied for survival.

Now that the recipe had leaked, Jiaren Corporation’s core competitive edge had been entirely lost, which would be a catastrophe for the entire corporation!

The more Han Jingting thought about it, the more frantic she became, until at last, tears streamed down her face as she burst into sobs, hugging Chen Xuan tightly.

Chen Xuan was stunned; he had wanted to say something, but at this moment, how could he possibly let go of such a good opportunity to be close to his wife?

Chen Xuan hugged Han Jingting tightly while patting her back, comforting her, "It’s okay, it’s okay, there will be a way."

But Han Jingting cried even harder, "The secret recipe has already leaked, what else can be done!"

"Chen Xuan, it’s all my fault, I failed to protect the secret recipe! It’s all my fault! Boohoo..."

Seeing Han Jingting crying so guiltily made Chen Xuan feel heartbroken, "Jingting, don’t cry, I have my ways to handle this!"

Han Jingting was stunned, "You have a way? What way?"

Han Jingting really couldn’t figure out what Chen Xuan could possibly do now that the secret recipe had been stolen.

Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously and then leaned over to whisper a few words into Han Jingting’s ear.

"What? You..."

Having heard what Chen Xuan said, Han Jingting’s eyes widened in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief.

On the other hand, Han Chengye had already presented the stolen secret recipe to Zhou Zhengyang.

Looking at the other half of the White Jade Frost recipe in his hands, Zhou Zhengyang’s eyes brimmed with surprise, "Well done! I really did pick the right person!"

Han Chengye wore a smug look, "Many thanks to Young Master Zhou for your trust, I have not disappointed!"

Zhou Zhengyang continued to entice Han Chengye with promises, "Don’t worry, once I deal with Jiaren Corporation, I will devote my energy to supporting Han Corporation!"

"I have already said before, within one year I will increase Han Corporation’s assets by fifty billion, and within three years, break the hundred billion mark!"

"I, Zhou Zhengyang, always keep my word!"

Hearing Zhou Zhengyang’s words, Han Chengye was filled with impassioned excitement.

Fifty billion in one year, a hundred billion in three years!

This was something Han Chengye hadn’t even dared to dream about!

"Many thanks to Young Master Zhou! I am deeply grateful for your enormous generosity!"

Afterward, Han Chengye left in high spirits.

"What a big idiot!" Zhou Zhengyang looked at Han Chengye’s retreating figure with disdain.

In his view, small fry like Han Chengye were truly foolish; with no effort on his own part, he could simply make grand promises, and they would sell their lives for him!

Later on, Zhou Zhengyang passed the secret recipe to Ji Xuanhu.

"Elder Ji, that was too easy! The White Jade Frost recipe you’ve been longing for, I got it just like that! Hahaha..."

Ji Xuanhu took the recipe and glanced at it, his eyes shining with excitement.

Ever since hearing about White Jade Frost at the bidding conference, Ji Xuanhu had coveted the secret recipe.

Daji Secret Recipe, ancient medicine!

For a medical master like Ji Xuanhu, the allure was boundless!

Especially that most important effect of White Jade Frost, reversing aging!

Now in his sixties, Ji Xuanhu, just like anyone else, had always held high aspirations for his health and appearance.

Who doesn’t want to be forever young, forever beautiful?

Ji Xuanhu was sure that the White Jade Frost currently sold on the market was diluted many times over and couldn’t possibly achieve the true effects.

But now, with the true secret recipe of White Jade Frost in his hands, wouldn’t it be a simple matter for him to recreate the authentic White Jade Frost?!
