Chapter 19: 25 Million USD

After reading the program multiple times and doing a test run of the logic in mind, the other party confirmed its authenticity and said that the program was absolutely correct.

Upon getting the confirmation, Yamamoto ran back to the server room to tell the others about it. But till then, Ryuu and Nen had already seen the program in action.

The room became silent again. This time there was no time from Xin's gameplay. When Yamamoto entered the room, Xin muted his mobile and continued playing.

The three of them were watching each other with eyes of furious wolves, ready for the assault anytime. The room was becoming cold from the air conditioner being turned on for a long time.

"Mr. Xin, would you like to work under me?!" the three of them blurted it out at the same time.

Ryuu, Nen, and Yamamoto had the same thought going on in their head at that time. Hire the kid, bring him under them, and polished the rough crystal into a diamond. But little they knew at that time that Xin was FL (Flawless) diamond, of the highest purity.

"No interest." Was the answer they got after a second of asking that question.

Natasha "…"

Yamamoto "…"

Ryuu "…"

Completely flabbergasted. They didn't know the kid refused on a whim or have any reason behind it.

Natasha could understand why Xin refused Ryuu's offer since he had a fight with him some time ago and he may not want to join his company. But what about the other two? They were pretty good options for him to choose from. Observing her brother was keeping quiet and wasn't making any offer, Natasha took the chance and talked with Xin about the benefits of joining the Nen enterprises.

"Ahem, Mr. Xin, I think you should reconsider your decision. It's not too late yet. If you join us I assure you our company will give a hearty salary, time to time bonus, and other benefits."

Xin was playing his game, but at the same time hearing her proposal. Upon listening to the words "other benefits" Xin stopped playing and turned towards Natasha with a smirk.

"What extra benefits can you provide?"

Natasha couldn't answer the question since it was too sudden for her. Seeing his sister was trying her best, Nen took part in it and answered his question.

"Mr. Xin, for example, if you want we can transfer you to a good university in abroad. Like the Oxford or the Howard. Whichever you want."

While Nen was telling Xin about the offers, Ichirou and Natasha were laughing in their minds. Sometime ago Ryuu was mocking Xin for being a student of a small school, and now the same Xin was getting asked to get transferred into the best universities in the US.

Seeing Nen and his sister were doing their best to get Xin under them, Ryuu too landed on the battlefield with a powerful weapon of his.

"Mr. Xin" he called out with a loud voice. Stopping the conversation between Xin and Nen.

"I know, I was a little rude in the beginning, and I apologize for it. Putting that aside, I can see you have great talent and vast potential in programming and coding. So would you like to join my company? And yes, my offer is better than Mr. Nen and Natasha."

"Oh~~!!" Xin exclaimed and asked him to shoot it out.

Ryuu grinned at it and thought Xin was somewhat interested in it. So to bring him under his company, he threw the biggest bet for him.

"Mr. Xin, 25 million USD per year package."

Natasha "…"

Nen "…"

Ichirou "…"

Their hearts literally jumped up to their throats after listening to the salary package. Generally getting a 50,000$ to 80,000$ job is the highest a programmer can get in a company, and that too working their ass off for years. For further raise, there were only two options for them. Either make something new and show the company your value or wait for some years to get a breakthrough in the salary.

But here, Ryuu broke all those standardized practices and went off the chart to offer him a good bet as a salary. Now that Nen heard about Ryuu's offer, he was thinking about something.

But before he executed his plan, her quick-witted sister saw through Ryuu's plan and offered Xin a better salary.

"Mr. Xin, 35 million USD."

Some seconds ago when Ryuu threw his biggest bait of 25 million USD, both Nen and Natasha understood what he was planning, and what were his future plans.

Project SEDS was divided into three parts, and three different parties were asked to solve it. The remuneration for it was 100 million USD for each party. Ryuu was planning to take that 100 million USD and offer Xin a quarter of it. Which sounded fair on the surface, at least.

Since the Project SEDS was not given to Xin directly, but he got his through Ryuu, he would have gotten a quarter of it, instead of getting the majority of it.

And in the eyes of Ryuu, Xin was just a high schooler. He was damn sure that Xin would agree to his proposal without even thinking. And once Xin signs a contract with him, he can make Xin work on bigger projects for him, whose values were more than 100 million USD.

Though the siblings realized about his plans within some seconds. Natasha was the one who perceived it faster than Nen. She was a company CEO in the profession, and when things revolve around money, her brain works faster than everyone present in the room, except Xin.

Without thinking much about it, she made that offer of 30 million USD since she decided it was just a small investment for a future with lots of money through Xin and his skills.

Amidst these talks, one person was there, whose head had already stopped working after hearing the offer of 25 million USD.
