Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 65: Chapter 60: Madam, You Wouldn’t Want Your Secret to Be Discovered, Would You?

Nighttime.

Labor Road, Diamond Home.

Aunt Huang prepared a large table of dishes.

Lu Li and Liu Kexin were having dinner.

There’s no denying, Liu Kexin is indeed a super strong woman.

Even while eating, she still dealt with various documents.

Lu Li observed her being busy without finding the opportunity to mention his resignation.

Suddenly, Liu Kexin raised her head, rubbed her shoulder, and said, ”A whole day’s work is quite tiring.”

Lu Li blinked at her and said, ”How about going for a foot massage? Get someone with good skills to give you a massage?”

”No need.” Liu Kexin shook her head, picked up some beef brisket with chopsticks, ”By the way, is the next livestream planned for tomorrow night? The sales from the previous two were quite good, I hope you all can keep up the good work.”

Seeing her free, Lu Li organized his words and said, ”There is a livestream tomorrow night, but I might not be doing this much longer.”

Liu Kexin paused, puzzled, ”Not feeling well?”

”No.” Lu Li shook his head and honestly said, ”President Liu, I don’t want to do this anymore.”

Liu Kexin furrowed her brow, then smiled, ”Alright, if you don’t want to be a livestream host, you don’t have to. I promised you before.”

Clearly, she was smart enough to know not to push too hard on such matters.

Therefore, she gave Lu Li plenty of space, wanting to gently ”influence” him.

”President Liu, I wasn’t talking about livestreaming.” Lu Li straightforwardly said, ”I mean, I plan to resign from the company.”

Clatter.

The chopsticks fell.

Liu Kexin seemed a bit surprised, looking anxiously at Lu Li.

However, she managed her emotions well and quickly restored her expression.

She picked up the chopsticks again, pretending to be indifferent and asked, ”Oh? Doing well, why suddenly don’t want to do it?”

Lu Li shrugged, ”Maybe I find the job uninteresting, so I don’t want to do it.”

Liu Kexin neither agreed to Lu Li’s resignation nor disagreed.

Her face showed no emotion, ”Usually, you need to give a month’s notice for resignation, otherwise it’s difficult to arrange manpower. So, write a resignation letter tomorrow. I won’t submit it to HR for now. You’ll have a month to think it over carefully. If you still want to stay after a month, I’ll tear up the resignation letter, but if you truly want to leave, I’ll let you go.”

Lu Li was determined to leave, but he also understood the situation, suddenly resigning could disrupt departmental staffing.

He thought about it and said, ”Alright, I’ll give you the resignation letter tomorrow. Over the next month, try to train new staff as much as possible. I’ll still fulfill my promise to do the livestreams, aiming to set up the live channel before leaving.”

After taking the 500,000 sign-on fee from them, he had to do something.

Lu Li wasn’t someone without conscience.

He was willing to stay a bit longer, not just because of livestreaming.

He agreed to stay temporarily for another important reason—Vice President Du.

You found someone to mess with me behind my back.

There’s no evidence for now.

But just because I have no evidence doesn’t mean I won’t retaliate.

How could I not return the favor?

Lu Li planned to find an opportunity to severely deal with Vice President Du.

Liu Kexin smiled, ”Alright, then I thank you.”

Lu Li said, ”Since I’ve decided to resign, I’ll move back after eating.”

”Hang tight before moving back,” Liu Kexin said seriously, ”As long as you’re with the company, I must ensure your safety, stay here for now, move only after you truly resign.”

Last night, when I mentioned living with you, it seemed I hesitated.

Now you’re keeping me for another month?

Lu Li was a tad confused.

He indeed wanted to develop something with Liu Kexin, hence he didn’t refuse.

Lu Li smiled, ”Okay, thank you.”

After that, they didn’t mention the resignation anymore.

Liu Kexin didn’t bring up company matters either, just kept chatting.

After a while.

They finished eating.

Aunt Huang was tidying up the table.

Lu Li pointed upstairs, ”I still have some departmental work unfinished, I’ll head up first to handle some official business.”

Liu Kexin, unlike her usual stern demeanor, nodded with a smile, ”Alright, take care of yourself, don’t work too late, rest early.”

Lu Li acknowledged and went upstairs.

Liu Kexin sat by the dining table, staring at Lu Li’s back.

Her face showed an unwavering determination, secretly vowed, ”I’ll definitely keep you here!”

...

Arriving on the second floor, in the guest room.

Lu Li washed up immediately after entering.

Have to say, this small villa is quite nice.

Every room is equipped with a bathroom.

After washing, he lay comfortably on the bed.

Started contemplating the matter of actively evolving superpowers.

Hmm, the so-called handling official business was just an excuse.

”The combo technique involving smelling and seeing visuals is really great.”

Lu Li thought to himself, ”Not only did it allow me to develop super sense of smell and powerful spiritual power, but also made me realize that superpowers aren’t solitary, they can be combined.”

If that’s the case, can I develop another combo technique superpower?

Lu Li thought he might lean towards that.

Normal development of a combo technique superpower would take quite some time.

He wondered if he could develop a combo technique based on existing superpowers.

What superpowers do I currently have?

Lu Li recalled carefully, ”My stomach has evolved to tell me how much energy to supplement and store it; I also have strong eyesight, X-ray vision, super hearing, super smell, and powerful spiritual power, oh, self-healing ability is strong too, it seems to be a passive evolution.”

Super smell and powerful spiritual power have already combined into the smelling-visual combo technique, which seems to be ruled out for now.

Stomach, eyes, hearing, and healing ability might be considered.

Suddenly, Lu Li remembered he had already exposed part of his abilities last night.

He is likely to be monitored by relevant departments next.

”If I do nothing, my life might fall under someone else’s scrutiny.”

He wondered if he could develop a mimicry superpower.

For instance, being able to change height, appearance at will.

That way, even if anyone follows, he could use mimicry to escape.

”Accurately speaking, this superpower is somewhat akin to mythical transformation techniques.”

Lu Li thought it feasible.

Just that this ability at preliminary judgment doesn’t seem like a combo technique.

Or perhaps it’s a super combo technique.

Anyway, developing might be difficult.

After all, it requires altering the entire body state.

Should I develop transformation alongside another skill?

Lu Li couldn’t immediately think of developing another combo technique superpower.

Casually picking up his phone to look for movies or dramas.

See if there’s any inspiration.

Suddenly, he noticed a movie remake by Liu Dehua called ”What Women Want.”

Lu Li had watched this before, knowing the protagonist gained the superpower to hear women’s thoughts upon accidentally getting electrocuted.

”Yeah, I can use super hearing and powerful spiritual power to develop superpower to hear thoughts.”

Lu Li’s eyes lit up, ”If I can really hear the thoughts of others, who can hide secrets from my ears?”

This power to eavesdrop on others’ secrets can be said as quite extraordinary.

Why say so?

Many people have seen certain Japanese scenes, and know some scenes inside.

Like, madam you wouldn’t want secrets to be...

Cough cough!

Anyway.

Just that hearing others’ thoughts superpower is great.

”Okay, I’ll set these two directions next.”

Lu Li decided, ”First, develop a superpower that allows self-transformation, then, the ability to hear thoughts.”

With that in mind, he began suggesting to himself the active evolution of these two superpowers.

Though self-transformation superpower was important, Lu Li didn’t value it as much.

He was more inclined to hear others’ thoughts.

Once this combo technique superpower could be developed.

Then...

Madam, your secret will be secured by me in the future!
