The file containing the DNA result laid in front of Jennie, as she stared at it for more than ten minutes.
Should she open it?
Maybe not?
Maybe she should do it tomorrow?
"Hey, the head of the hardware research group is here to see you with Bai'Li. » Rosé interrupted her train of thoughts.
"Okay, let them in," she answered and watched as two men entered her office. One was Bai'Li, who was giving her a cheeky grin, while the other was a thirty-year-old man wearing a mismatched suit with very thick eyeglasses. He was the exact opposite of the bubbly and neat Bai'Li. His name was Leung Yu, he was the head of hardware devices research group of Wang Empire.
"Good afternoon gentlemen," she said, as she pointed them to take a seat opposite to her. The duo took their seats and looked at her, waiting for her to say something..
"As you know, I will start a new project that will focus on Artificial Intelligence, and I have called you here, to tell you that I am planning to create a new team of experts for Applied Sciences and Advance Technology labs. Both will be in charge of creating the Artificial Intelligence System, and you two will guide them. Aside from this, Alex who is still in Seoul will also join this new team. Any questions?"
"CEO Kim just one thing. I've heard from the news that we will create something for our own team. Can you please elaborate?"Leung Yu asked, his eyes full of respect and adoration. Working personally with a young genius like Jennie had always been his dream.
"Ah... I want to create a module for every programmer. It will make their work less tiring. The module will automate emails, and eliminate repetitive tasks, automatically monitoring the codes that they are doing and give some feedback. Of course, this will also depend on the working pace difference of each employee. It's like creating a team, working for each programmer in this company." she explained. "I have the algorithms and the model ready on my computer, and I will forward it to both of you after this meeting."
"Our module is the first one in the whole tech world, surely, everyone's attention will be on us. I want this project to succeed so badly, that's why I will personally take charge of the security and will oversee the whole project," she added.
"Any other questions?" she asked.
"Yes, CEO Kim are we going to hire new people for this project?"
she continued to explain to both of them her plans and goals, while trying to forget the DNA result that was just laying in front of her, waiting to be opened.
After the duo left, she once again stared at the file, before finally deciding to open it.
She took a deep breath, as she broke the seal on the folder. She bit her lips as her palms started to sweat. This is it.
Then, she took out a single piece of paper. However, before she could take a look at the paper, the door of her office flung opened, startling her.
"What the..." she was about to curse, but stopped herself when she saw that it was Wang Mino.
"Sorry. Do you have time to talk now?" he asked with a smile.
"Sure." Jennie put the result back in the folder and put it inside one of the drawers of her table.
"So... you asked me to find an image of Li Qiang when he was young and show it to father and grandfather, right?" he started, walking towards Jennie. "I was not able to find one, so I used a program to make his current appearance younger."
"And...?"
"Well... this is the result." He showed her an image of a young Li Qiang, before passing it to her. "However we have noticed something a little strange about it."
Jennie stared at the handsome young man on the photo. "What is it?" she asked, as she held her breath. This image was...
"Well, we were all hesitant to tell you this, but um... He uh... he kinda look a lot like you," he said after a moment of hesitation.
"Really? I don't think so," she said, suppressing the anxiety in her heart. "Anyway, if that's all, I still have some things to settle for the AI project." she attempted to change the topic.
"Right." Wang Mino cluelessly answered before getting up. "I just found it strange. Anyway, I still have other meeting with the research group. You can keep the photo." he said before walking towards the door. But his steps halted, just before he could reach the door. "Little Jennie?"
"Hmm?" she raised her head and looked at her cousin in the eyes, trying her best to mask the surge of different emotions in her eyes.
"Don't mind it. Maybe, we were just hallucinating or something," he smiled at her. "Just focus on what you are doing right now."
"Right. Sure... no problem." she answered, almost immediately before giving him a smile.
In response, Wang Mino nodded and left her office, without another word.
After making sure that Wang Mino had already left, Jennie immediately looked at the photo in her hand. His bone structure, his forehead, everything about this photo screamed of her own facial structures.
That's right! This image was just like a male version of Jennie.
She felt her heartbeat accelerating. Then she slowly opened the drawer and fetched the folder containing the DNA result.
She took another deep breath and tried to calm her shaking hands. Wang Mino was not the first one, who told her about her similarities with Li Qiang. First, there was Li Hua, then the suspicion that Wonbin was not her father came. Now, her cousin was telling her that she looked like the person, who was trying to kill her. All this was making her very anxious.
She focused all her attention back on the paper that she was holding, before she unceremoniously opened it, revealing the result. She quickly looked through the paper before her eyes landed on the bold letters, just below the DNA markers.
'NEGATIVE'
