Time travel, quick transmigration

"Sang Yue, Sang Yue, I got the job!"

A sweet-looking girl wearing a white puff-sleeved chiffon blouse and a floral skirt walked out of a door and went straight to a girl wearing a light green dress and a high ponytail, smiling and talking to her.

"Really? Yuan Yuan, that's wonderful! Congratulations!"

"From now on, we can work at the same company."

A girl named Sang Yue, wearing a light green dress, happily congratulated her best friend. The two shared their joy and soon left, chatting and laughing.

Shi Yan, with a calm expression, had witnessed the scene just now. At that moment, the HR manager, whom she had only met once, walked out of the meeting room, glanced at her briefly, and walked past her with a rather arrogant air.

"Hey... why are you still here?"

As soon as the HR manager with a buzz cut stepped out of the meeting room, he came face to face with Shi Yan, who was sitting gracefully on the sofa in the hallway. She had delicate features, bright eyes, wore a sky-blue short-sleeved shirt with a ruffled collar and light-colored jeans, and had waist-length hair.

Seeing his surprised expression, Shi Yan said coldly.

"Didn't you, Manager Fang, tell me to sit outside and wait for a reply, and not to leave yet?"

She smiled as she spoke, revealing two dimples on her cheeks, which instantly lessened her original aloof and arrogant demeanor.

Fang Wenbo was stunned for a moment, and after regaining his senses, he gave an awkward, self-deprecating laugh.

"I think he did mention it, but I was just following the manager's instructions. It just so happens that the manager just chatted with Liu Yuanyuan and was very satisfied with her in every way, so the manager has decided to hire her for the position of assistant to the planning department manager."

The meaning was quite clear, and Shi Yan maintained a polite smile.

"In that case, congratulations on your department hiring the right employee. However, please ensure that your company doesn't waste other people's time like this again."

"Your company is one of the top in the industry. After hiring a suitable employee, it would be essential to inform the person who has been waiting for the news in a timely and polite manner."

"My time is also very valuable."

After saying that, he turned and left with an air of nonchalance.

Watching Shi Yan's proud back, Fang Wenbo felt that young people these days were too hot-tempered, and at the same time, he felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he knew very well what had happened during the interview.

Shi Yan walked aimlessly down the street, leaving the building behind her. From childhood, she had never had good luck, often missing opportunities. When she was five, her parents ran a restaurant, but the business quickly declined until it couldn't survive any longer, even owing money to relatives. After that, her family faced repeated misfortunes, and her parents had to work in factories to make ends meet. Her grades weren't bad in school, but she always encountered problems during exams, and when filling out her college application, her total score was just a step away from her desired university. After a bumpy graduation, she started looking for work, but when there was someone else to choose from, the opportunity never came her way. Those who spent money before her either won prizes or got their meals for free. Besides these, she was often mistaken for someone else and suffered undeserved misfortune.

Her best friend sometimes comforted her, saying that her life in the human world might be a tribulation, and that once the tribulation was over, everything would go smoothly and things would turn around.

"You shameless little hussy, I'll beat you until your head turns into a pig's head today!"

A sharp female voice came from behind Shi Yan. Shi Yan frowned slightly and continued walking forward, but the owner of the voice rushed up to her and slapped her across the face.

The sudden slap must have been delivered with great force, causing Shi Yan's right cheek to burn and swell instantly.

Caught off guard, Shi Yan was slapped hard across the face. A surge of anger rose in her heart. She stared coldly at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was arrogantly reaching out her hands, baring her teeth and claws as she tried to pull her hair.

Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed the woman's wrist with her left hand and swiftly slapped her across the face with her right.

"Snapped!"

That was powerful enough, and loud enough.

"If you're sick, go get treatment; don't let your illness flare up in public."

Satisfied with the woman's stunned expression, Shi Yan released her wrist and took several steps back to distance herself, afraid of being hurt by the crazy woman.

"You, you dare to hit me. This is outrageous! There's no justice in this world!"

“Everyone, please be my judge. This girl willingly stooped to be a mistress and seduced my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I were doing very well before, but ever since this girl staged an accident and fell next to my boyfriend’s car, she has been able to seduce him and steal him away.”

"That heartless guy actually broke up with me for some little brat..."

The woman cried pitifully and aggrievedly, attracting a crowd of onlookers. They all began to scorn and condemn Shi Yan.

Shi Yan endured countless critical and disdainful glances, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"Madam, you have the wrong person."

"Please stop harassing me. Your indiscriminate accusations, slander, and defamation have already damaged my reputation, mental well-being, and physical and mental health. I will consider filing a lawsuit to seek justice from the law."

Shi Yan's voice was clear and bright, without the slightest hint of timidity.

The woman was taken aback by Shi Yan's firm and unwavering attitude. Seeing Shi Yan's refined demeanor and composed demeanor in the face of danger, she was immediately enraged.

"What are you so smug about? You think I'm afraid of you?"

After saying that, he took a few steps back, covered his throbbing face, and glared at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan didn't want to waste any more words with her and was about to take out her phone to call the police. But the woman's shouting interrupted her.

"How could you have such a shameless attitude? I heard from my boyfriend's best friend that you started clinging to him after he hit you with his car a month ago."

“Chen Jiawei would never lie to me. He said you were coming to Hesheng for an interview today, and my boyfriend even booked a place to celebrate your job search.”

Shi Yan was speechless.

"Sister, please get this straight. There were five people interviewed at Hesheng today. Can you please verify this before you take any action? Don't just listen to what others say."

“My name is Shi Yan. Are you sure you’re looking for me, sister?”

Shi Yan always exuded a cold aura when she wasn't smiling. Upon hearing her words, the woman's expression immediately changed. She averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact, and her arrogance visibly vanished. She was filled with surprise and disbelief, realizing she had approached the wrong person and had angered the wrong person. Embarrassed and annoyed, she lowered her head, unsure of what to do.

"Um, that... um..."

"Your name is Shi Yan."

"Young lady, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."

"I thought you were that Liu Yuanyuan. I saw you coming out of the main entrance of Hesheng Building alone, and it just so happens to be this workplace. You have such a pure and innocent look, so I assumed you were Liu Yuanyuan who came for the interview."

"I tend to act impulsively when I'm hot-headed, and seeing your arrogant face only makes me angrier, so..."

Those around her who had heard the whole thing were also speechless for a moment, and they all cast sympathetic glances at Shi Yan and began to discuss it.

Even women can't withstand the condemning gazes and gossip around them.

"I'm sorry, I apologize. Please don't actually take legal action and hire a lawyer to sue me. I really didn't mean it."

The woman's humble attitude in apologizing moved even the onlookers to pity.

"Young lady, it's just a misunderstanding, let it go."

"Yes, I think this young lady has realized her mistake. Young lady, you should be more magnanimous and not hold it against her."

Two women in the crowd watched as Shi Yan became the woman's advocate, completely forgetting the contempt and disgust the woman had shown her when she had insulted her earlier.

Others were trying to mediate, completely oblivious to the woman's harsh words and the slap she had received. Shi Yan witnessed everything.

Shi Yan was used to these phenomena and didn't bother to pay them any mind. She only looked at the woman with her head down, appearing weak and vulnerable.

"You have had a very serious impact on me. Someone has recorded the whole thing, and it's probably all over the internet right now."

"Knowing that you've contacted the wrong person and are worried about being held accountable, are you starting to garner sympathy and engage in moral blackmail?"

"Let's not even discuss whether the Liu Yuanyuan you're talking about is really as you say. Shouldn't you be looking for your boyfriend himself? Have you two communicated about this?"

"Your reckless behavior cannot be erased by a simple apology. You rushed up and attacked someone, thinking you were in the right. But if you accidentally cause irreparable harm, you will be the only one who pays the price."

"Is it worth it for a man who doesn't love you and wants to break up with you?"

“I’m not going to let this slap go unpunished. You have to pay for your mistakes. Let me put it all out: 2 yuan for emotional distress and physical and mental damages. Settle it all in front of everyone. Otherwise, we’ll go to the police station first and then see you in court.”

"I'm not the kind of person who swallows grievances for no reason."

Shi Yan didn't see anything wrong with asking the other party for 2 yuan in compensation for emotional distress and physical and mental damage.

The woman, whose face turned pale and then green, clenched her teeth, her eyes wide, looking as if she wanted to devour Shi Yan whole. But she only dared to think it in her heart. In order to settle things as soon as possible, she decided to admit defeat. 2 yuan was not much to her, and she was unwilling to hand it over even if she wanted to.

"I don't have 2 yuan in cash on me."

Shi Yan glanced indifferently at the Chanel bag slung over the woman's shoulder.

How much do you have in your bag?

The woman's tone was unpleasant, and she said impatiently.

"Two thousand, that's all I have. I can transfer the rest to you."

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Give me the money in your bag first."

The woman opened her bag with annoyance, took out her money, and handed the cash inside to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan took the money without counting it and put it directly into her wallet in her bag. Then she took out her notebook and pen and quickly wrote a few lines.

"Come on, ma'am, please sign your name."

The woman found the makeup application unbelievable, but no matter how annoyed she was, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and take the notebook and pen. After reading the contents, the anger that had been building up inside her dissipated considerably.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Shi Yan hummed in agreement.

"What, you want me to back out?"

The woman shook her head and signed her name in the lower right corner of a few lines of text.
