Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

“You don’t need this certificate either. But I’m different. My dad will only allow me to start a business if I get this certificate.”

Wen Yao remained expressionless and unmoved.

She felt that Qin Ke'er's actions were somewhat disrespectful to her; what did Qin Ke'er take her for?

Seeing that Wen Yao remained silent, Qin Ke'er felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Wen Yao, I know you don’t like me now because I’m hanging out with Wen Ning, but I’m not taking your certificate for nothing. When I open my shop and make money in the future, I can give you half of the money I earn in the first year… oh no, the first quarter.”

Wen Yao thought she was going to give her a certain amount.

Who are you trying to fool with this little bit?

Generally, when a new store opens, money is initially invested, and the first quarter is often the hardest time to make money.

"That's all?"

Qin Ke'er's face stiffened.

"It's just a certificate, how many more do you want?"

Qin Ke'er was dissatisfied. This certificate could indeed be used to decorate a business, and many large companies now value this certificate highly.

However, neither Qin Ke'er nor Wen Yao cared about the value of this certificate.

Therefore, in Qin Ke'er's eyes, this certificate was worthless.

"You still want it even though it's worthless? Besides, everyone is competing fairly. Why don't you get first place? First place gets this certificate."

Helan chuckled softly, then whispered in Wen Yao's ear.

"Their group was disqualified from the competition. It was too cold in winter, and when the school teachers came out to inspect, there happened to be no one at their booth. If no one was there, it would just be a deduction of points. But they actually submitted bills for those two days."

Isn't this falsifying accounts?

Wen Yao looked at Qin Ke'er and chuckled.

Qin Ke'er knew what they were talking about, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

"The main thing is, you have no use for this, so you might as well exchange it for some money."

Wen Yao was getting impatient and just wanted to refuse her and let her leave as soon as possible.

"I can't help it even if I agree. This certificate was issued by the school, and you and we weren't in the same group from the beginning."

"Wen Yao, you're the school's sugar daddy now. The principal will definitely listen to whatever you say. It's just a matter of a word from you."

Qin Ke'er had even thought of this for Wen Yao.

Wen Yao pouted.

"Really, listen to me. My beauty salon is opening, and I'll give you half of the profits from the first quarter. That's a lot of money."

Wen Yao couldn't even get a word in edgewise.

She didn't even know when she had become so familiar with Qin Ke'er.

"I don't want to. Qin Ke'er, if you can't even stick to this competition, your beauty salon definitely won't be able to stay afloat. It'll definitely lose money in the first quarter. You don't want me to help you share your debts, do you?"

Qin Ke'er was stunned for a moment, then her face twisted with anger.

"you--"

"You're really shrewd, trying to get me to pay off your debts!"

Just then, the class monitor brought the certificates into the classroom; the top three students all received certificates.

After receiving her certificate on the podium, Wen Yao showed it off to Qin Ke'er.

"Look at this, it's just a piece of paper, isn't it? Why do you want it so badly? It's a pity, the certificate has already been printed out. Even if you want it, it's too late."

Qin Ke'er and her two friends were quite bold; their fabricated accounts were enough to earn them first place, but they were exposed during the evaluation.

“What’s there to be proud of? It’s just a certificate. Even if I didn’t have this certificate, my dad would still give me money to start a business.”

Wen Yao shrugged.

"Then I congratulate you in advance, and I wish you a successful opening."

This nonchalant attitude is enough to infuriate Qin Ke'er.

Qin Ke'er stormed back to her seat.

Chen Ruoyi and Li Qianqian both looked worried.

"So, Ke'er, did Wen Yao agree to your request?"

Qin Ke'er was already angry, and seeing these two people only made her angrier.

"Get out of here! What good are you two? My nanny makes tiramisu for you every day, and you two don't even want to set up your stall anymore. I knew I shouldn't have teamed up with you. You two good-for-nothings."

Then Qin Ke'er severed ties with them.

The two people looked at each other, feeling quite embarrassed.

Classes started soon, and the final exams were in a week. The teachers were focusing on highlighting key points in the following classes.

Wen Yao's participation grade is already maxed out; as long as she carefully reviews the key points, she should be able to pass the final exam.

At noon, the teacher dismissed get out of class on time, and Wen Yao and He Lan walked together toward the school gate.

"By the way, Helan, I just received a text message that money has been deposited into my account. I'll transfer the money to you now."

There is a prize for first place, but Wen Yao originally planned to give all the prize money to He Lan, since she contributed the most.

Helan was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, no need to be so polite, isn't the shop yours too?"

As they were talking, Wen Yao had already transferred the money to her.

"By the way, Wen Yao, can I rent that shop? I'll pay the rent on time, don't worry. Just let me pay the market price."

Wen Yao was stunned

Do you still want to sell sweet-skinned duck?

Helan nodded.

"Wen Yao, you might not believe it, but my dad only earns 80,000 yuan a year, and sometimes he even gets his salary delayed. You know I come from a small city."

Anyway, I don't have much to do during winter break, and I've already built up a lot of repeat customers. I want to earn more money so I won't have to ask my parents for living expenses anymore, and I can even give them some money too.

Wen Yao knew that He Lan's family situation was not as good as that of the other students in the class, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

“I’m not some high and mighty person. I often go to small cities. If your dad can earn 80,000 a year, he can definitely support a family in a third-tier city. That’s quite impressive.”

"Also, keep running your sweet-skinned duck shop. Maybe you can even have your own chain stores someday. By the way, I won't charge you a single penny of rent, so just focus on running it. We're friends, after all. As long as I can eat your sweet-skinned duck for free in the future, that's enough for me."

These words warmed Helan's heart.

I thought Wen Yao was the kind of person who didn't care about worldly affairs. Although her father's salary wasn't high, it was still average in a small city. But many people in big cities don't believe that someone's salary could be so low.

"It's settled then, don't bring up the rent again."

After saying that, the two had already reached the school gate, where Song Zhiqian was already waiting for her.

"Someone has come to pick me up."

He Lan glanced over and saw a boy sitting in the driver's seat.

"Is he the youngest son of the Song family that's being talked about online?"

Helan also saw the news online.

"Yes, he is that spoiled brat."
