The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Chang Ning pulled out a loaf of bread from somewhere, tore open the packaging, and slowly said, "Sister Wang, I don't want to be in a relationship right now."

Because the average lifespan in interstellar space is longer, an office can house young women like Chang Ning who have just graduated, as well as middle-aged women like Sister Wang who have worked for over fifty years.

This Ms. Wang is dedicated to recommending her nephew to every new female employee at the company. He is a 39-year-old man who is just over 1.6 meters tall and whose features look like they have been squeezed.

In the interstellar era, this would be considered a congenital genetic defect.

On Chang Ning's first day at the company, the secretary warned her not to agree to anything unless she was interested. She said that a colleague had agreed to meet with her out of politeness, but ended up quitting because she couldn't stand being pestered.

Sister Wang was clearly dissatisfied. "My nephew owns three houses in Shangcheng District. If you were with him, you wouldn't need to eat this dry breakfast!"

Chang Ning was torn between eating the bread in her hand and not eating it.

The secretary is right. She hasn't even agreed to anything yet, but this Sister Wang is already pestering her relentlessly.

"Sister Wang, how about this?"

Chang Ning said, "If your nephew is willing to transfer an apartment to me right now, I'll agree to meet him, how about that?"

Sister Wang's face immediately changed: "This young girl is so young, yet she's dreaming so big. Doesn't she even know her own limitations?"

Chang Ning replied sincerely, "I have absolutely no qualifications, that's why I'm dreaming!"

Watching her leave in a huff, Chang Ning snorted softly. There were some kinds of money she just couldn't earn.

The secretary passed by and gave her a thumbs up.

Chang Ning smiled, revealing a dimple, but her face immediately fell with worry. She was tired and hungry, yet she still had to go to work, just to earn this pitiful amount of money.

Fortunately, because their boss was irresponsible, their work was relatively easy.

So Changning spent the whole morning looking for a place on Xingwang (a Chinese online marketplace), and selected a few that she liked. The prices were all around 5 yuan, which she could live in for another six months based on her current savings.

As for what to do six months from now, Chang Ning said she couldn't think about that much and would deal with it then.

At noon, the secretary invited her to lunch. The two went to the shopping mall downstairs from the company. The mall was very upscale, but it was in the Upper City District, where there were many wealthy people, so it was still bustling with people.

Chang Ning never expected to run into her ex-boyfriend again!

No, it was her ex-boyfriend. He was with a woman beside him, the one who had mocked her last time.

Chang Ning felt like she was being targeted by a nemesis. Seeing them reminded her of the 500,000 yuan she had transferred out, and she felt terrible.

Unexpectedly, they still wouldn't let her go. "Wait!"

The woman brought her ex-boyfriend Tan Feiyu over, and the two held hands, looking very intimate. Chang Ning asked impatiently, "Is there something wrong?"

The secretary noticed their relationship wasn't very harmonious, and to avoid further awkwardness, she pointed to a nearby restaurant, "How about we eat here? I'll go inside and wait for you?"

Changning agreed.

Then she looked at the people opposite her, signaling them to speak quickly and not to delay her meal, as she was hungry.

Tan Feiyu's expression was complicated. He had just called out Ningning's name when he was immediately interrupted by the woman next to him: "I forgot to tell you, we're getting engaged soon!"

"Oh."

Chang Ning, with a blank expression, said, "Congratulations."

What's the point of talking to her?

She was very open-minded; since they had broken up, she had long given up on this ex-boyfriend.

Seemingly surprised by her calm demeanor, the person on the other end suddenly said, "Although you returned the money you swindled from Feiyu last time, I heard he also helped you rent a house. Shouldn't you return that money too?"

That amount of money meant nothing to them, but she knew it was a huge sum for ordinary people who had nothing. Fei Yu was already engaged and still thinking about her every day. She just didn't want this woman to have an easy time!

Seeing Chang Ning's incredulous expression, she said sarcastically, "What, you don't want to pay it back, do you? Or can't afford it..."

"Fine, I'll pay it back! Do you think nobody can't afford it?!"

Chang Ning was almost bursting with anger. She quickly blocked her ex-boyfriend and said, "I've already returned the 300,000 to you. Please explain what other money you need this time!"

"Ningning, no need..."

"Feiyu!"

The two exchanged glances, and the ex-boyfriend immediately fell silent.

Chang Ning angrily asked, "Does that mean I have to split the cost of the meal with you and pay you back?"

"certainly……"

Tan Feiyu gave his fiancée a warning look: "Don't go too far!"

His fiancée reluctantly shut up.

Chang Ning completely blocked and deleted her ex-boyfriend in front of them, gave a cold laugh, and turned to leave.

The more dashing her back looked, the more pain she felt inside. It's undeniable that her pride was somewhat hurt.

She went to the restroom first and saw that the person in the mirror had slightly red eyes. She smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that she wanted to take a shortcut but couldn't let go of her pride. Sure enough, the poorer a person is, the more they have to maintain their self-respect, otherwise it seems like they really have nothing left.

However, her emotions came and went quickly. When Chang Ning checked her balance again, she no longer cared about being sentimental. Now that was good, she didn't need to look at houses anymore, and her savings were back to four figures.

Impulsive actions may bring momentary pleasure, but they can lead to financial ruin.

Not only did I not earn a single penny from dating, I actually lost tens of thousands of yuan. This kind of relationship is so terrible, even a dog wouldn't date it!

After having lunch with the secretary and returning home from get off work in the evening, Changning's savings officially fell below 1000.

She returned to her small rented room with a heavy heart. As soon as she got to the next room, she saw that the door was open. She subconsciously glanced inside and for a moment felt as if someone had choked her, and she couldn't make a sound!

The room had the same layout as hers, with the bed clearly visible. Now, two people were lying haphazardly on that bed, their bodies stiff and motionless. The sheets were covered in splattered blood, which even flowed onto the floor!

"what!"

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Ning finally regained her voice and screamed. She ran out trembling, not daring to stay in that place any longer.

She finally managed to call the police, but they arrived late. When they came to investigate the scene and questioned her, Chang Ning said that she had just returned, was passing by, and saw it, but knew nothing else.

The police checked the surveillance footage, confirmed it was true, and let her go.

Chang Ning had no idea where to go. The lower city was full of street thugs at night. The better ones would whistle at people, while the worse ones would dare to come up and stop you directly.

Chang Ning was terrified and took a car back to Shangcheng District.

There are many places open 24/7 in Shangcheng District. Chang Ning found a place and was browsing the contacts on her personal computer when she suddenly saw someone: Gu Yanzhou.

She slowly typed in the message: "Someone died where I live."

"very scary."
