If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

In the afternoon, Zhu Tingyue idly counted heads.

According to her observation, the entire planning department consisted of ten people: six men and four women.

Aside from Manager Wu and himself, there were four other men: one bald man who was slightly overweight;

A bespectacled man, who types the fastest on the keyboard;

One was a cold, aloof man who kept his distance from me and didn't say a word to anyone all day.

The last one was a handsome young man with a bright smile on his face, looking youthful and energetic.

The four women each have their own characteristics: the older one is always lazy, constantly checking her phone or going out to get water and not coming back for half a day;

Next to her was a short-haired girl who sometimes frowned in thought and sometimes looked up information; she looked very capable.

The girl sitting opposite her was the one who called everyone to lunch at noon; she was young and energetic, and sometimes she would steal glances at her.

The last girl sat next to me. She was young and spent almost as much time on her phone as she did at work. Her fingers flew across the screen, and she seemed to be gossiping.

When Shen Yanqiu called, she had just finished dealing with him and walked to the break room with her phone in hand. The first thing she did was yell at him, "Shen Yanqiu, why are you so poor?"

Shen Yanqiu, sitting opposite her, was speechless at her question. Of course he was poor. If he weren't poor, would he have to sell himself? Was using one's looks to please others something respectable? Did she think everyone was like Miss Zhu, living a life of luxury with designer brands at their doorstep, freely choosing the latest clothes and jewelry, and spending millions or tens of millions at a time?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you doing this on purpose!" Zhu Tingyue felt that he had ulterior motives and was deliberately trying to make her sad.

"What did I say? I'm poor to begin with!" Shen Yanqiu faced the facts head-on. "Besides, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? How much did you give me? I'm lucky if I can keep ten yuan!"

He still clearly remembers his assets, even though they amount to only ten dollars.

Zhu Tingyue was so angry she laughed, and questioned him, "You actually think I'm not giving you enough? Don't you know your own worth? How dare you ask for such an exorbitant amount?"

"Zhu Tingyue, ask yourself honestly, isn't my appearance worth this much? Isn't my service worth this much? Isn't my hard work of washing and cooking for you from dawn till dusk worth this much? Isn't the emotional value I provide worth this much?"

Saying he's poor is fine, that's a fact. But saying he's cheap is not an option, absolutely not!

His words were reasonable and well-founded, and Zhu Tingyue had indeed enjoyed these benefits, leaving her unable to refute them.

"Then I'll give you some more compensation, okay?"

"No need! Besides, it's not you compensating me now, it's me subsidizing you! I am now 'Zhu Tingyue,' I have more money than I can spend, while you are just a penniless pauper with ten dollars!"

Shen Yanqiu spoke with righteous indignation. Zhu Tingyue thought that after their identities were switched, she would be the one suffering, while this guy was enjoying her former extravagant life!

Overwhelmed with grief, her voice sounded extremely sad: "Shen Yanqiu, I don't want to be you anymore, I want to become Zhu Tingyue again."

After venting his anger, Shen Yanqiu realized that the two of them hadn't gotten to the point, so he said to Zhu Tingyue, "We need to meet today and resolve this matter."

“Okay, I’ll go right now,” Zhu Tingyue agreed quickly.

"Don't rush, don't rush, come over after you get off work," Shen Yanqiu told her.

"why?"

“You are now ‘Shen Yanqiu’ and you’re still at work! How can you be late or leave early?” Shen Yanqiu’s sense of being a beast of burden remained.

"No, I don't like going to work, it's so boring!"

"Please, please stay until after get off work. It's not a good thing," Shen Yanqiu pleaded.

"Alright then, I'll leave when it's time, I won't stay a second longer."

"Go, go, go."

Having finally calmed her down, Shen Yanqiu took a deep breath, said goodbye to Mother Zhu, and went out.

Zhu Tingyue stayed up until the end of her workday and rushed to the place the two had agreed upon, her speed was astonishing.

Shen Yanqiu was already waiting. Zhu Tingyue, panting heavily, looked at herself sitting quietly. Shen Yanqiu's outfit shocked her. What was she wearing? She almost didn't recognize herself.

She wore a loose brown sweater, paired with jeans she'd somehow found, and sneakers she'd never seen before. Her hair was disheveled, she wasn't wearing makeup, and she looked visibly haggard.

"Shen Yanqiu, what exactly did you do to my body?"

Zhu Tingyue was shocked by her own appearance. When had she become so disheveled? Going out without makeup was something she never even dared to imagine! How could Shen Yanqiu dare to do that?

Shen Yanqiu looked at a loss when asked. He looked at himself and thought he looked perfectly normal. What had he done?

Seeing that he was so clueless, Zhu Tingyue wished she could smash his head open with an axe to see what was inside.

"You go out dressed like that? Are you trying to embarrass me?"

"How is it shameful? You're clean and not exposed at all, isn't that great?"

Shen Yanqiu felt he needed to defend himself regarding his fashion sense; heaven knows how devastated he was when he saw a room full of dresses.

He is essentially a man and has no fetish for wearing women's clothing, so how could he possibly wear that glamorous dress out in public?

“I can’t wear a skirt, I’m telling you, I will never wear a skirt!” he emphasized repeatedly.

“Is this about whether it’s revealing or not?” Zhu Tingyue conceded. “Fine, it’s okay not to wear a skirt, but you should at least pay attention to your outfit. Look at you, you look like an old lady about to retire.”

"If you don't know how, you can ask me, and I'll help you put together a combination."

Her eyes were full of anger and incomprehension. How could someone be so stupid?

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely put together a better outfit next time." Shen Yanqiu said reluctantly. He had originally wanted to find fault with her, but when he saw her dressed so well, she really did show off her handsomeness to the fullest, so he shut his mouth.

"Go back and change it. You absolutely cannot appear in public like this, for my reputation!"

"And what exactly did you do last night? Look at those dark circles under your eyes, even a panda couldn't compare! Were you out stealing chickens and dogs in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Zhu Tingyue, how can you say such things when you're a young lady? Where are the dark circles under your eyes? You must be imagining them!" He took out his phone and looked at it, but he couldn't see any trace of dark circles.

"I clearly have it, my fair and smooth skin! You're so pitiful!"

Her sadness didn't seem fake, and Shen Yanqiu was also confused. Did she really have dark circles under her eyes? Could she really tell?

Although I didn't see it myself, if Zhu Tingyue says it is, then it is! It's her body, and she decides what she wants to do.

"Okay, I'll take good care of it from now on and make sure it stays smooth and white, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tingyue immediately changed her mind: "Okay, wash your face, do cleansing, and apply a face mask every day; then skincare, toner, lotion, serum, makeup, eye cream, you can't skip any of them. If you need to do your makeup in the morning, just ask your assistant to do it, she can handle everything for you."

"You have an assistant?" Shen Yanqiu was completely bewildered by her words.

"Of course, my mom found this for me. It's a professional who takes care of my outfits, makeup, and how I attend banquets. Humph, what do you mean? Can't I have assistants if I don't work? I could have ten or eight if I wanted to!" Her tone was extremely proud.

"Okay, okay, any number will do." Shen Yanqiu agreed.

"Speaking of work, what do you think about me finding a job? I can't just stay at home all day, staring at your mother all day, can I?"

“Hmm,” Zhu Tingyue pondered the question, “I think it’s possible.”

Although he only worked for one day, he really disliked it. Shen Yanqiu certainly didn't want him to be idle, so it was fine for him to work. However, there was one question she needed to clarify.

"You're not trying to steal my company's trade secrets, are you?"

"What are you thinking? I'm not interested in your family's company, okay?"

Shen Yanqiu was exasperated by her thought process. "Trade secrets? How could she even come up with that?"

"That's good. But what are you planning to do?"

"I think I could go to my own company, what do you think?"

"How can such a small company hire people?" Zhu Tingyue was very skeptical.

"So what if it's a small company? Whether or not to hire is up to you, isn't it? You're the boss, hiring someone shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Oh, not difficult at all, then beg me!" Zhu Tingyue smiled brightly, but her words were irritating.

"You... never mind, please, Boss Zhu." When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head; Shen Yanqiu pleaded humbly.

"Can't you show some sincerity?" Zhu Tingyue was dissatisfied.

"Okay, Boss Zhu, please, give me a job opportunity!" Shen Yanqiu clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.

"Well, I'll reluctantly agree then. But, shouldn't I make an appearance at your company?"

"Of course I have to go. Are you free tomorrow?"

"available!"

"Then tomorrow."
