251: Chapter 250: Who Stole the Formula?

“Dad, you, you’re back?” Lin Shiyan had just returned to her office and was startled with joy to find the middle-aged man seated in her chair.

“What, aren’t you happy that Dad’s back?” Lin Tian feigned displeasure.

“Happy, how could I not be?

Dad, why did you come back just now?

The company almost collapsed…” Lin Shiyan threw herself into Lin Tian’s arms, crying softly.

Su Ying saw this scene, quietly stepped out, and closed the door behind her.

“There, there, it’s all right now,” Lin Tian soothed, patting Lin Shiyan’s back.

Once Lin Shiyan had cried enough, Lin Tian sighed and said, “Xiaoyan, now do you see Wang Dadong’s influence?”

Lin Shiyan bit her lip, a bit upset, “Dad, why didn’t you tell me that he was a duke, embarrassing me to death.”

If she had known earlier that Wang Dadong was a duke, she wouldn’t have been so harsh and nitpicking with him.

After all, just being the number two man was enough to match her status as the CEO of Jiangdu.

Lin Tian, however, shook his head.

A duke?

Compared to his real status, not to mention just a dukedom in the State of Kansas, even if it were the king of the Kingdom of Kansas, it wouldn’t be as noble!

But he could not reveal this secret to Lin Shiyan, as it was to protect her.

The less one knew about that world, the safer it was.

“Xiaoyan, I need you to do something for me now,” Lin Tian suddenly became serious.

“Dad, what do you want me to do?”

“Go and apologize to Wang Dadong!”

Lin Shiyan’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, “What?

I, apologize to him?”

“Exactly, you should apologize if you’ve done something wrong,” Lin Tian said with an indisputable tone.

“I haven’t done anything wrong!” Lin Shiyan didn’t think she was at fault.

“You shouldn’t have tested him.

Since he is your husband, you should trust him unconditionally.

So, you were wrong in this regard, and you must apologize to him!”

“But Dad, even if he is a duke, that doesn’t prove he didn’t steal the formula.” Although Lin Shiyan knew in her heart that Wang Dadong would never steal the formula, she still felt somewhat defiant!

After all, for her, a high-ranking CEO, to apologize to a mere security guard…

Well, to a duke, was somewhat beyond her.

“Wang Dadong didn’t steal the formula!” Lin Tian stated emphatically.

“Why?”

“Because I took the formula.”

“What?” Lin Shiyan nearly jumped up upon hearing this.

Her father?

Steal their own company’s formula?

She simply couldn’t believe it.

This was even more ridiculous than suspecting Wang Dadong.

After all, the loss of this formula could have caused irreparable damage to Shiyan Group.

It could have been anyone in the world who stole that formula, except for Lin Tian!

Shiyan was stunned, looking at her father Lin Tian in shock.

Lin Tian actually said he took the formula!

This was impossible, Lin Shiyan simply couldn’t believe it!

As the former helmsman of Shiyan Group, Lin Tian should have been even clearer about the importance of the formula than Lin Shiyan.

Last time, the corner of the formula that Lin Tian stole from Granny Yangjin had catapulted a small cosmetics company into a well-known publicly listed company in the country.

If they had the complete Yangjin formula, Shiyan Group could have seen exponential growth, and breaking into the international market within a few years would have been highly likely.

Moreover, before releasing this formula, Shiyan Group had made substantial preliminary investments, with advertising expenses alone exceeding fifty million yuan.

The theft of the formula almost led Shiyan Group toward the brink of destruction.

“Dad, why would you do this, do you really want to see Shiyan ruined by your own daughter?” Lin Shiyan looked at Lin Tian in shock.

This could be considered earth-shattering news, even harder for Lin Shiyan to accept than the theft of the formula.

Lin Tian’s face didn’t show much expression, and he simply said, “Little Yan, since you took over Shiyan, everything has been too smooth sailing, you’ve never faced any setbacks, and it’s only through setbacks that one grows.”

Lin Shiyan was stunned, then replied in pain, “Dad, are you saying you took the formula just to make me face setbacks?”

If that were the case, her supposedly good father was really quite capricious.

Didn’t he realize that Shiyan Group had almost fallen into an irrecoverable state?

“The reason Shiyan Group suffered such a heavy blow is first, because you relied too much on the formula.

Think about it, Shiyan hasn’t launched a better product since the first time Granny Yangjin’s formula was released, yet Shiyan continued to thrive.

So, even without this formula, Shiyan should never have reached this point.”

“Secondly, when Shiyan faced a great disaster, you trusted the wrong person, yet you drove away those who would never betray.”

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s analysis, Lin Shiyan lowered her head.

Indeed, getting Stephen involved in Shiyan Group was her biggest mistake.

But how could Lin Tian be sure that guy would never betray her?

Seeing Lin Shiyan not speaking, Lin Tian continued, “However, what I’ve said above is not the real reason I took the formula.”

Lin Shiyan looked up at Lin Tian in confusion.

The reason given for taking the formula was already far-fetched, after all, who would risk the future of a company just to train someone?

If the training didn’t work out and instead destroyed the company, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

And Lin Tian still said that wasn’t the real reason he took the formula; could there be an even more absurd reason?

Lin Tian was silent for a short while before slowly stating, “I took the formula just to let you know, Dadao is not as unworthy as you think; he, is worth loving for a lifetime.”

“What!”

This time Lin Shiyan finally erupted in anger.

Lin Tian had taken the formula just to prove Wang Dadong!

This was even more unacceptable to her than training her.

Her father, for an outsider, had actually risked the whole Shiyan Group!

Lin Shiyan was very angry, yet Lin Tian remained very calm.

“If it requires sacrificing Shiyan Group, then let it be the price,” Lin Tian said lightly, seemingly noticing Lin Shiyan’s anger.

Lin Shiyan sat down on the sofa, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears.

She could hardly believe that her father could do such a thing.

Could it be that in Lin Tian’s eyes, his lifetime of hard work, combined with the Shiyan Group that her mother had protected with her life, was not as important as an outsider?
