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

Zhu Tingyue spoke resolutely, but she was actually unsure of herself. If it were so easy to resolve, it wouldn't have taken so long.

Regardless of what happens, taking that first step—whether it's right or wrong—will be dealt with later.

Thinking back on my performance just now, I felt strangely good, like a fox borrowing the tiger's power!

Everyone else was secretly glancing at "him." What was the background of this mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and whose identity was unknown? How dare he berate Manager Wang so severely?

And then there's Zheng Xian, a veteran in the department, isn't he also acting all docile in front of "him"? "He" seems like someone you can't mess with, things aren't going to be easy for him in the future!

Ignoring the suspicious or curious glances, Zhu Tingyue had only one question: where was she supposed to work? There wasn't an extra office, not even an extra chair.

As if anticipating her thoughts, Assistant Yang came over again and called to her softly, "Mr. Shen, your office is upstairs. Please come with me."

Zhu Tingyue asked in confusion, "Isn't this where I work?"

"Your office is upstairs, arranged by General Manager Shen."

Shen Yingchu arranged it, and he's still involved in this? What do you mean by being extremely busy? He's still not busy enough!

Assistant Yang led the person to the office diagonally opposite Shen Yingchu's office. There was no sign at the door, and Shen Yingchu could be seen across the street without even standing up.

Is he working here on her own, or is he spying on her? Zhu Tingyue was not satisfied.

Seeing this, Assistant Yang quickly let her in.

"Look, everything was arranged according to Mr. Shen's instructions, one by one according to your preferences. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I will replace it for you."

Since he's already said that, what else can I say?

After thanking him for his kindness, Zhu Tingyue looked around her office.

This is his first office. Assistant Yang said it was decorated according to his own preferences, but how could Shen Yingchu possibly know his preferences? It should be his preferences, right?

Look at this decor, the office supplies are exactly the same as his office, it's a complete copy and paste, okay? Which eye of his can tell he likes it? His eyes must be failing him!

She wanted a lounge, as big as the one in her father's office, filled with her personal belongings and snacks, so that when she was tired from work, she could eat for a while and then sleep for a while. Wouldn't that be comfortable?

You need to learn to enjoy life, don't you understand? Using such a large space for offices is such a waste of resources!

Zhu Tingyue was internally complaining, but Shen Yingchu across from her took in her behavior.

Young man, so impetuous! We need to really work on tempering his temperament.

Zhu Tingyue hadn't stopped to rest all morning and was a little tired. She closed the door to block Shen Yingchu's probing and took a nap, planning to get up again before eating.

This is what we call a balance between work and rest!

To avoid missing mealtimes, she even set an alarm. She had heard that the food in the senior management and staff canteens was different, and she was determined to try it.

The alarm clock rang, and she stretched. In just a short while, her back was already uncomfortable. She still needed a bed!

When Zhu Tingyue arrived at the restaurant entrance, she was stunned by the delicious aroma. She didn't have a work ID and couldn't get in at all!

What a lousy company! They make you swipe your card everywhere. She never had to swipe at her dad's company before; she could go wherever she wanted.

The aroma of food wafted out from inside. Zhu Tingyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at the door. Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if she didn't eat here, but the problem was that she had spent all the money Shen Yanqiu had transferred to her while shopping yesterday!

Right now, the only savings she has are ten yuan, which Shen Yanqiu has saved by scrimping and saving. It's not even enough to cover the delivery fee, let alone takeout!

What to do? Zhu Tingyue looked around and actually spotted a familiar face: Shen Yingchu!

He's coming this way, which is perfect; I can follow him inside later.

Shen Yingchu had seen "him" long ago. He wasn't proactive at work, but he was always the first to arrive at meals.

As Shen Yingchu walked past "him," she didn't even spare "him" a glance.

If I don't speak, I won't get angry. At my age, I should take care of my health.

Seeing that he ignored her, Zhu Tingyue didn't care, as long as she could get in.

The door opened, and she strode over, walking ahead of Shen Yingchu.

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Yingchu looked back suspiciously at the spot where "he" had just been standing. He was so far away, yet he was moving so fast!

Zhu Tingyue turned around and gave him a grateful smile. She was a good girl who knew how to repay kindness, and considering that he had helped her, she wouldn't be angry with him today.

Looking at the various dishes in front of her, Zhu Tingyue complained about the company's differential treatment. "What was that food we ate in the planning department before? Look at this, this is what employee meals are like!"

She picked out a few of her favorite dishes, grabbed them, and left. She found a secluded spot to sit down and eat quietly.

Shen Yingchu and several directors were together, glancing over from time to time. Witnessing "him" being shocked by the cafeteria food, Shen Yingchu's guilt towards "him" resurfaced.

It was my fault that I made him suffer so much. These were things that he should have taken for granted, and I have to make it up to him.

Zhu Tingyue was unaware of Shen Yingchu's thoughts. She left after finishing her meal, intending to call Shen Yanqiu to tell him that things had changed and that his jinx had come true—the acquisition had become a reality!

The phone rang several times but no one answered. He must be busy. I wonder what he could possibly be busy with, being injured and under his mother's supervision.

Putting away her phone, Zhu Tingyue closed her eyes in thought: She wondered if Wang Shuo would do as she asked, and whether Zheng Xian would submit the plan on time. What should she do if they didn't cooperate?

The more she thought about it, the more her head ached. Sure enough, she should just be a wealthy, leisurely person; work and such were not suitable for her.

There's still a while before I start work in the afternoon, so I'll go check on Shi Yuan first.

After taking the elevator to the 32nd floor, Shi Yuan and a group of people were discussing the lunch in the cafeteria.

Logically, they should be eating the same staff meals they used to eat. Zhu Tingyue didn't understand what was so interesting about that garbage cafeteria.

She asked sincerely, "Is it delicious?"

Shi Yuan and the others nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious!"

How exactly does it taste good?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was delicious, but how could it be so delicious? It was delicious in every way!

"Many varieties, complete selection, and cheap," said the Mediterranean-looking man named Qiao Enxu.

"Okay, then you guys eat more."

If you still say that a month from now, no, a week from now, then I, Zhu Tingyue, will be convinced.

"Where did you go this morning? I can't find you anywhere. If you keep this up, I'm telling you, I'm going to dock your pay!"

Shi Yuan led her to his office, poured himself a glass of water, and sat down, completely ignoring Zhu Tingyue.

It seems he doesn't know Shen Yanqiu's identity yet. Since Shen Yanqiu hasn't told him, I won't say anything either. Let him find out slowly!

"Nowhere, something came up." Zhu Tingyue sat down and asked him, "How were you guys today? Are you settling in alright?"

Shi Yuan turned his gaze to her, his expression unfamiliar: "Don't talk like that, making it sound like a leader on an inspection tour. We're both just working people here, you know?"

He's so kind! Zhu Tingyue appreciates his kindness.

"Okay, I was just asking."

"Yeah, it's great. Everyone loves it here. Besides, if it were you, wouldn't you want double the salary and a beautiful environment?"

"Your salary has doubled?" Zhu Tingyue was unaware of this.

"Yes, doubled. The company will pay salaries, but internally things will remain the same as before, with no major changes."

"That's really great!"

Can Shen Yingchu really be that kind?

"Of course, let me tell you, now we don't have to worry about money anymore. If you don't like your difficult young lady, just dump her!"

"Huh? Who said I don't like it?"

"I know you like it, but I mean you can dump me when you don't like it anymore."

Who told you I like it?

"Do I need anyone to tell me? I have eyes, I can see it, okay?"

"Tell me more specifically."
