Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Zhou Liwan was speechless. Was she in such a hurry?

It's alright though. She'll go to the company today to hand over her duties and then contact Li Chui to tell him the good news.

In the chairman's office of Wanbao in the morning, Song Yufei and Zhou Liwan stood together in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the hurried pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Looking at these people, I suddenly felt a strange mix of excitement and pride. If I just agreed, I could completely escape their situation, stop squeezing onto the subway, and stop living in those cheap shared apartments.

Zhou Liwan knew she had convinced her: "How's it going? If you agree, I'll send you to the US for a three-month MBA program first, so you won't be caught off guard when you take this position."

Song Yufei's eyes began to sparkle with a dazzling light, and her entire face shone brightly in the morning sun.

But what will happen to the company while she's gone? The chairman is going to the police station to participate in the investigation of the case. Won't Wanbao be leaderless then?

Before she could even ask a question, the chairman casually replied as if he could read her mind, "Don't worry about the company. I've already found a trustworthy trust institution to help manage it for three months. You know, I really don't have any ability to manage a company."

Zhou Liwan shrugged helplessly, then sat back down. Her grandfather had prepared a delicious bowl of wontons for her this morning, and now was the perfect time to eat them.

He opened the food box and served Song Yufei a bowl as well: "Come on, sit down and have some."

Song Yufei didn't mince words. She sat down, picked up a spoon, and started eating. She was immediately amazed by the taste of the food: "It's amazing, this tastes incredible!"

Zhou Liwan smiled and said, "Then eat more. We'll go back later to make a handover, and then fly to the United States early the day after tomorrow. I've already made all the arrangements. Someone will pick you up at the airport. I've arranged your travel, accommodation, and meals. I've also transferred one million to your account to cover your daily expenses for the next three months."

Song Yufei could hardly believe her ears after hearing these words. Happiness had come so suddenly. No wonder everyone was studying so hard and striving to climb the social ladder.

"Thank you, Chairman. I really don't know how to thank you for recognizing my talent." Song Yufei's eyes were red, as she had lived in an environment that favored sons over daughters.

Growing up, I could only sleep on the balcony. Whenever I was home alone, I never had a peaceful time to do my own thing.

She's either doing housework or taking care of her younger brother, tutoring him.

But he just wasn't cut out for studying. No matter how many times he was taught, it was no use. If he showed even the slightest impatience, his mother would immediately hit him with the clothes rack.

So she secretly vowed from a young age to get away from that family.

Now it seems like I'm finally about to realize that dream.

Zhou Liwan comforted her by adding more wontons to her bowl, looking at her with a warm gaze.

"Work hard, and you will definitely succeed in getting what you want."

Song Yufei ate while tears streamed down her face, then nodded vigorously: "Mmm."

After Song Yufei finished eating and left, Zhou Liwan proceeded to the second step, calling Li Chui.

When they found out about this, they were so excited that their tears seemed to flow through the phone line and fill the entire office.

Zhou Liwan patiently comforted her: "Okay, listen to me. Go downstairs to the police station listed on your household registration book to get a certificate of no criminal record. Bring it over tomorrow."

He was diligently taking notes with pen and paper, and then sincerely thanked Zhou Liwan again.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwan still needed to give the trust fund representatives a brief introduction to the company's current situation.

Today was a very busy day.

Around 5 p.m., Xu Zimu called: "Hey, Wanwan, I'm leaving tomorrow. I've booked a private room at the Marriott tonight, let's get together. Bring your friends too."

After checking the documents and finding no problems, Zhou Liwan replied easily, "Okay, I'll call her directly later and head out of the company. Send me which private room it is, and I'll go there right away."

Xu Zimu grinned: "No need, I'm already waiting for you downstairs at your company. Just come down."

Zhou Liwan said with satisfaction, "Great job, Xu Zimu! You're on the right track! I'll be right down here."

Zhou Liwan quickly tidied herself up and headed straight for the elevator, but was stopped by Li Qiang halfway there.

"Miss, what do you mean by this?" Li Qiang asked, his face dark with exasperation. He felt like he had been treated like a watchdog by her all this time.

He was a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. He had worked hard to get into the Zhou family and become a special assistant, but he lost his high-paying job because of this despicable person's words.

Actually, when he first came here, he didn't think much of it; on the contrary, he thought there might be more opportunities.

After all, Zhou Liwan doesn't know how to run a company, so she will inevitably have to ask me for advice. In this way, I can gradually take control of the entire company.

But who knew that this oddball not only drove Han Kui away, but also preferred to do his own busywork rather than let himself get even a hair's breadth from the office.

My workstation was just one meter from the chairman's door, and I stood there all day long.

Li Qiang couldn't accept the change from a respected chairman's assistant to a mere watchdog whom everyone in the company could scrutinize and observe.

Zhou Liwan must give him an explanation today, otherwise he will not let this go.

Zhou Liwan slowly stood with her arms crossed, her disdainful gaze sweeping over Li Qiang from head to toe: "Assistant Li, you don't really think I invited you here to help Wanbao, do you? Do I look stupid?"

Li Qiang gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Then what exactly do you mean? Once you leave, this chairman's office will be an empty room! What's the point of me standing here every day! This wasn't what we agreed on in the contract we signed!"

Zhou Liwan approached with amusement and said sarcastically, "You've been in the workplace for so many years, and you didn't even read the contract carefully before signing it! And don't even think about trying anything funny. I've given all those videos and photos of you to my lawyer for safekeeping. If you dare to do anything to anger me, I'll kill you!"

After saying that, Zhou Liwan gave her bodyguard a wink, and the burly man in black immediately dragged the person away.

When they got downstairs, Xu Zimu was getting impatient. As soon as he saw Zhou Liwan, he complained, "Is it really necessary for you to take so long to go downstairs? I got fined two hundred yuan by the traffic police just now!"

Zhou Liwan got into the car speechlessly. "Good heavens, you can actually say it's only two hundred yuan? Aren't you ashamed!"

"With my family's assets, we certainly can't compare to you, the young heiress of a top-tier wealthy family!" Xu Zimu crossed her legs, shaking them slightly.

Zhou Liwan rolled her eyes and slapped her leg down.
