After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"What do you want to say?" Gu Tianyou's hand, which had been supporting his chin, slid down onto the table little by little after hearing Shen Yao's words, and his well-defined knuckles clenched into a fist.

Although he remained outwardly cold and calm, a turbulent undercurrent was brewing in his eyes.

“Gu Tianyou, I’ve known you since I was 6 years old, and until I divorced you when I was 26, I, Shen Yao, never made any unfounded suspicions about you because of what others said.”

"Are you saying I don't believe you?"

“You’ve never believed me. So, even if I said I was wronged about Ye Yingying, you still wouldn’t believe me. So, you’re here today to fire me, right?”

Shen Yao knew that Gu Tianyou didn't like her.

But she never expected that this man would be able to stand up for Ye Yingying and push her to this point.

She could never admit that she was the one who pushed Ye Yingying to the ground.

This is her bottom line and principle.

Looking at the woman's calm and indifferent expression, Gu Tianyou felt a surge of anger.

"How can I trust you after all the things you've done over the years? Is it so hard to just admit your mistakes? It's not like I'm asking you to go through hell and high water! Yingying also said that as long as you apologize, she can forgive and forget, and everything will go back to the way it was before."

Shen Yao gave a cold laugh, "President Gu, I would rather go through fire and water than apologize to Ye Yingying."

Gu Tianyou leaned closer to Shen Yao and said, slowly and deliberately, "Shen Yao, it seems I haven't made you suffer enough."

After leaving the board of directors' office, Shen Yao felt as if all her strength was about to be exhausted.

"Since you're so determined to go through fire and water, I'll grant your wish! Since you're so self-righteous, then spend this summer promoting health knowledge in the neighborhoods. Go live every day, and if you don't get 10 followers within a month, I'll fire you."

Kill people and kill your heart.

Gu Tianyou is trying to force the brilliant student Shen Yao to show her face in public, so that her proud self-esteem will be completely destroyed.

"You can rest today. You'll start streaming tomorrow. The stream will be at least one hour long..."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

The elevator doors opened, and thinking about Gu Tianyou's words, Shen Yao leaned wearily against the elevator.

Shen Yao has disliked crowded places since she was a child. As an i-person in MBTI, live streaming is almost like public execution for Shen Yao.

Gu Tianyou really knows how to target her weaknesses and torment her.

Summer vacation is down to just 40 days.

Gaining 10 followers in 40 days seems like an impossible dream for Shen Yao.

However, in order to keep her job as a teacher, she had to give it a try.

After a whole night of consultation and investigation, Shen Yao finally selected a relatively remote street community to carry out science popularization and publicity.

When the security guards she hired set up the live-streaming equipment at the community intersection, an elderly couple were the first to gather around and ask Shen Yao what kind of activity she was going to hold and what prizes she had.

Shen Yao busily distributed the pre-printed promotional materials to the elderly men and women.

The elderly man and woman frowned as they accepted the money.

The old man glanced at the promotional materials casually and said, "Hey young lady, in this sweltering heat, everyone else is giving away fans or something when they have promotions or do live streams, and you're giving away this?"

After saying that, the old man glanced at the obscure and difficult-to-understand flyer again and threw it on the ground with disdain.

Her husband, an older woman, pointed directly at Shen Yao's face and scolded, "What is written on it? We can't understand it at all. It's useless to take it back. Here you go."

As he spoke, he threw the promotional materials on the ground.
