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

Zhu Tingyue strolled through the street where she spent the least amount of money, and returned to the Shen family home feeling listless.

Without a mother's care and a father's nagging, the Shen family home is a cold, impersonal workplace—no, even worse than a workplace. At least colleagues can exchange a few words, but the Shen family members are as stingy as gourds with their mouths sawed off.

Zhu Tingyue felt down the moment she entered the house. She sat in the courtyard to kill time, when she unexpectedly saw the busy Shen Yanzhen return!

Look at the time, it's only a little past five! Is he really willing to leave work?

Ignoring her surprise, Shen Yanzhen walked over and sat down next to her.

Zhu Tingyue squinted and looked at the sun in the sky; it wasn't rising in the west!

Shen Yanzhen took in all her movements, his face showing hesitation, his lips moved but he didn't utter a single word.

Zhu Tingyue was quite curious about what this workaholic could talk about, so she took the initiative to ask, "Is there something you need?"

Shen Yanzhen was still hesitant, but replied, "It's nothing. Why didn't you come to work today?"

Zhu Tingyue wanted to slap herself. If she had known he was going to ask about this, she should have just kept quiet! Why did she have to ask? So nosy!

"Didn't you skip work too?"

Since she came to the Shen family, she has never seen the father and son before 9 p.m. They seem to be competing to see who comes back later.

If she didn't know Shen Yanzhen's character, she would have really thought he was out fooling around.

"I didn't skip work, I left work at the normal time!"

"Oh, so you know what the normal time to leave work is? As a doctor, shouldn't you be dedicated to your duties and stay on the front line of treating and saving lives? How much time does leaving get off work take away from you? You should know that every minute you leave work early means someone else suffers for an extra minute because of illness. If you ask me, you should work 24 hours a day; that's how you truly embody the spirit of saving lives!"

"Shen Yanqiu, are you never going to stop?! Keep talking like that, trying to show off!"

Wow, that's surprising! Shen Yanzhen can actually be quite eloquent! Zhu Tingyue perked up; she was just worried about having no one to talk to in the Shen family!

"It's my mouth, I can say whatever I want, what's it to you? You think you can control everything, but why are you interfering with me? I'm just saying, so what? Is it illegal?"

Surprisingly, Shen Yanzhen actually continued, "Shut your mouth! All you do all day is talk. If you're so capable, go talk to the company!"

“I can say whatever I want, it’s none of your business. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go work for the company? You want me to go? No way! You want me to work for you without paying a single penny? I may be tall and handsome, but I’m not stupid!”

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have a share in the company too!"

Huh? The rumors are true? Shen Yanqiu really is back to inherit the company?

Even if you lose face, you can't lose power; Zhu Tingyue doesn't care whether she has it or not!

"I don't care whether it exists or not! Even if it does, how much could I possibly have? In the end, wouldn't it all be for someone else's benefit?"

"Shen Yanqiu, you are simply unreasonable!" Shen Yanzhen concluded, then turned and left.

Zhu Tingyue watched his departing figure and believed most of what he said.

Shen Yanqiu kept talking about his own small company, but he never mentioned the Shen family's company. Did he not want it?

No way! Why shouldn't he take it? This is something Shen Yingchu owes him! Shen Yingchu even looks down on him, despising his company for being old and run-down!

Zhu Tingyue felt that she had to stand up for Shen Yanqiu, and she was going to do something big!

The next morning, she went to work full of energy, and her spirited appearance surprised the Shen family.

Is this still "Shen Yanqiu"? How can "he" go to work so energetically?

In disbelief, Shen Yingchu arrived at the company, where Assistant Yang gave him an answer that shocked him: "Shen Yanqiu" really did go to work! However, "he" went to that old, run-down place!

No, we can't call it "old, dilapidated, and small" anymore! It should be called "Baisi Group Carnival Technology Branch"!

Zhu Tingyue was unaware of this matter. When she saw the company that had already closed down, she was completely bewildered.

Isn't Shen Yanqiu the boss? Why didn't anyone notify her about giving the employees a day off? The doors were locked securely; how can she give them a day off at such a crucial time? Shouldn't all the employees be working together to overcome this difficulty? Shi Yuan is so unreliable!

Just then, Shi Yuan called.

His voice was extremely excited: "Yanqiu, come quick! I'm telling you, we really found it! We've hit the jackpot!"

"Forget about any stroke of luck, tell me, where's the company?"

“There are people at the company! Everyone’s here!” Shi Yuan replied, then hesitated, “You’re not still in that old, run-down apartment, are you?”

"What old, run-down apartment? Watch your step! I'm at the entrance of Jianian Technology, the door is locked, I can't get in."

It's old, dilapidated, and small; I can say so myself, but no one else can!

"Huh? We're all at the Carnival Technology branch of the Baisi Group! What are you doing there?"

"What kind of group branch are you going there for?"

Zhu Tingyue found the long string of names somewhat familiar. She knew about Baisi Group, it was the Shen family's company! She also knew about Jianian Technology, it was Shen Yanqiu and Shi Yuan's old, run-down house! What did they mean together?

Wait a minute! No way? It can't be what she thinks, can it?

She slapped her forehead. Oh no! Shen Yingchu, that unethical person, promised he wouldn't make any purchases once he went to work! He has no conscience, he went back on his word!

Shi Yuan's slightly guilty reply confirmed her guess: "We...we work here, do you want to come?"

"You're so nice! Should I come? Should I not come? Shi Yuan, you greedy little man!"

He said he'd handle it himself yesterday, and then he sold the company! Shen Yanqiu's taste in friends is truly something else.

Zhu Tingyue was speechless. She sped all the way to Baisi Group and rushed straight into Shen Yingchu's office. Assistant Yang tried to stop her, but he couldn't stop her at all!

As soon as the door opened, Zhu Tingyue yelled at the person working there: "Shen Yingchu, you broke your promise!"

Shen Yingchu slammed the file shut, looked up, her face darkening, her eyes filled with anger: "Shen Yanqiu, how dare you talk to me like that? Calling me by your father's name, is that it? Who taught you that?"

Zhu Tingyue was not afraid of him at all. Her cheeks were flushed with anxiety, and her eyes were wide open in anger, like a fierce leopard.

"I'll yell, so what?"

"Shen Yanqiu, get out! Come talk to me again when you've learned to respect others!"

Shen Yingchu didn't even look at him, and called Assistant Yang in to kick her out.

Assistant Yang was in a dilemma. These two, father and son, never had a good time together. He didn't know whether to offer advice or not. Being an assistant was tough!

Zhu Tingyue didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she went out on her own.

"Fine, I'll leave then. Don't make me come back if you dare!"

He turned his head, strode out, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, venting his anger.

Inside the room, Shen Yingchu could no longer bear to look at any of the documents. She let out a long sigh. Shen Yanqiu was simply her nemesis! She must have had terrible luck for eight hundred lifetimes to have such a son! This was heaven's punishment for her!
