Chapter 226 Betting My Life
Chapter 226 Betting My Life
Upon hearing He Suye's words, Kimi's face turned from white to black, and then to bright red. If anger had a shape, it would look exactly like Kimi's current expression.
"He Suye, you...you've gone too far!"
Kimi pointed at her, trembling all over, as if she might start a fight with her at any moment.
He Suye shook her head and said seriously, "I'm not bullying you, I'm just stating the facts. Since you don't accept my arrangement, go find someone you can accept and see if they will approve your design proposal."
“You—” Kimi took a deep breath.
The person who could accept this was, of course, Mo Yuan. He knew that the chances of his smart refrigerator selling well were indeed slim, but what he was indignant about was: why was his design the only one rejected? Wasn't this just settling a personal score?
Someone behind him whispered a reminder: "Kimi, a moment of patience will calm things down. Don't argue with her now... When the bet is implemented, we can easily push her out. Don't make trouble for yourself now."
Of course Kimi knows!
He was just furious, he was so angry he was about to explode!
Having his smart refrigerator design flaws pointed out in public by this young, blonde girl, he has completely lost face with Iris.
Anger, shame, and even a touch of embarrassment swirled in his mind, but in the end, reason prevailed.
He gave He Suye a deep look and said, "Fine, reject it if you want. Consider all those sleepless nights I spent recently wasted. But Ms. He, I'll be waiting to see how far you can take our Iris, and see if you can actually make the intelligent prosthetic you're talking about! If you can't... Ms. He, are you willing to raise the stakes?"
He Suye became interested. She had been lucky lately and had won her gamble on Cheng Yue's parents' matter, so she didn't mind trying again.
"What kind of bet do you want?" she asked slowly.
"If you can't deliver by then, besides unconditionally transferring your shares to me, you'll also have to leave Iris!"
Upon hearing this, Vince was the first to speak up: "Kimi, this company isn't yours! You can't just tell anyone to leave and they'll have to."
Kimi ignored Vince and stared directly at He Suye, asking, "Do you dare to bet?"
He Suye laughed and said, "My bet is so big, so may I ask, what are you going to bet?"
She gambled all her shares in Iris and her position at Iris, so what did he have to gamble with?
Kimi calmly and coldly met her eyes and said, "Take my life."
The laboratory fell silent after he said that.
He Suye's smile faded, and she asked, "Take your life? What do you mean by that?"
"If your smart prosthetic limb is actually made and works, I'll jump off the building in the tech park and give you my life. That's my bet!"
The lab erupted in uproar: "Kimi, are you crazy? How could you say something like that?"
"Yeah, Kimi, don't be out of your mind. How can you gamble with your life?"
Ignoring the voices, Kimi stared at He Suye and asked, "Do you dare to bet?"
He Suye raised an eyebrow: "Kimi, you've gone a bit too far. I don't want your life, but what good will it do me if you die? Here's what we'll do: if I succeed, you'll have to leave Iris and never work in this industry again."
Kimi gritted her teeth: "Okay!"
He Suye smiled again: "Then it's a deal."
Kimi didn't say anything, but let out a cold snort from the tip of her nose, turned around and walked away.
The other people in the lab dispersed. They didn't say anything, but they all knew that from today onwards, they had to choose sides. Sooner or later, one of these two people would leave, and it would be too undignified for them to try to pull one back into the mix.
Of course, Vince didn't leave. He walked up to He Suye anxiously and asked, "Miss He, how could you really gamble with him?"
"What? Did you think I was joking last time?"
"You're not kidding, are you? You'd better go tell Kimi that you were just joking, in case he takes it seriously later..."
He Suye's eyes slowly rolled, and she looked at Vince and asked, "Do you think I can't make that thing?"
Vince seemed choked up, and chuckled awkwardly, "H-how could that be?"
“Your expression betrayed you.” He Suye exposed him, then sighed and said, “Forget it, I can’t explain it to you. Anyway, you don’t need to say anything more about this. I know what I’m doing.”
"Yes." Vince left, but his face still looked anxious.
As they passed the front desk, Jin Liuyue called out to him, "Vince, what's wrong? Your brows are all furrowed together."
Vince shook his head, took a few steps forward, but quickly came back and told Jin Liuyue about Kimi and He Suye's bet.
Jin Liuyue looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is this what's making you so worried?"
“No…” Vince looked at the composed Jin Liuyue with incomprehension and asked, “Aren’t you worried? Your goddess is about to have her shares taken away and be kicked out!”
Jin Liuyue curled her lip and said while tidying the table, "What's there to worry about? Since the goddess accepted the bet, she'll definitely win. She's not stupid, why are you worrying about it?"
In her opinion, the person who was kicked out must be Kimi.
Vince looked at Jin Liuyue, shook his head and said, "You don't understand. The mechanical arm they made in the bet wasn't an ordinary mechanical arm; it was supposed to be an intelligent prosthetic that could replace a real hand... I've never even heard of it. She hasn't studied this field professionally; she's only read a few books out of interest. There's no way she could make it! Sigh, she's still so young. She was provoked by Kimi's words and made such a bet. She's really too foolish!"
Vince sighed, and Jin Liuyue didn't even raise her head, but agreed with a confident tone, saying, "Then let's wait and see, my goddess will definitely be able to do it."
"Where do you get your confidence from?" Vince chuckled.
"I don't know." Jin Liuyue shook her head: "Anyway, when I see the goddess, I feel a sense of security, and I feel that she can definitely do it."
"A sense of security is something only men can give to women."
"You're talking nonsense! What era are we living in? Stop talking about men and women..."
"Jin Liuyue, do you even know how to chat?"
The two of them gradually stopped talking about the bet, but the whole of Iris was talking about it, and someone even started a betting pool behind the scenes and placed a bet.
Of course, most people were betting on Kimi to win.
For a little girl to want to make that kind of thing is really wishful thinking; she's read too many science fiction novels.
However, one person held back three months' worth of salary from He Suye.
"Xiaoqi, are you crazy? Holding back three months' salary? You don't need to save money to buy a house or get married anymore?"
Everyone looked at Xiaoqi, whose salary had been withheld for three months.
Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "I put down so much money to buy a house. All my savings from this year are here!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, looking quite pleased with himself.
During that fire, he didn't believe He Suye could open the smart door, but the door did open.
In the subsequent online controversy, he didn't believe He Suye's method of "doing nothing," but ironically, this method turned public opinion around.
This is the third time, and he believes her! Just like Jin Liuyue, he unconditionally trusts He Suye!
He Suye had no idea that her bet with Kimi had sparked a series of games throughout Iris. As the workday was drawing to a close, she received some good news: the psychologist was coming!
