Over the years, An Ying has been working tirelessly around Lu Qiyao every day, and it seems she has never had a proper long vacation.

Ye Rao lay on the sofa and tentatively asked, "An Ying, what do you think? Are you completely uncompromising this time? You really aren't going back?"

An Ying's face showed a resolute expression.

"Well, there are millions of men in the world. If this one doesn't work out, we'll find another. We'll never go back to an old flame. A man with perfect moral character is a treasure."

Ye Rao was so happy she almost cried: "Congratulations to my darling on your new life!"

Ye Rao is An Ying's childhood friend. Just how close are they?

They met when they were still wearing diapers.

When An Weiping was twelve years old, he insisted on taking An Ying away from Nancheng.

When they both took the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, they were admitted to Beicheng University, a top-tier key university in the country, and became alumni.

An Ying entered the finance department, and Ye Rao entered the law department.

After many twists and turns, the best friends who grew up together in the south of the city reunited in the north.

Ye Rao repeatedly tried to subtly persuade An Ying to dump Lu Gou, but An Ying was ultimately a sentimental person. How could she just throw away seven years of feelings? So the two of them have been entangled ever since.

It wasn't until this engagement party, when Lu Qiyao went too far and got An Xiaoxiao pregnant, that Ye Rao finally unleashed the anger she had been holding back for years.

An Ying happily stayed in Ye Rao's large apartment for a few days, and her back injury was almost healed.

But she gradually realized something was wrong.

These past few days, all the resumes I've sent out have disappeared without a trace.

An Ying has a good reputation and network of contacts in the industry, and her work ability has been recognized. In the past, headhunting companies offered her high salaries to switch jobs, but she declined them all, wanting to stay by Lu Qiyao's side.

Given her educational background and work experience, it's highly unreasonable that she didn't receive any responses to her resume.

An Ying then tried contacting some leaders and partners she knew before.

They all politely declined, giving the same answer: their companies were not short of staff.

How could they not be short of people? Then what about the positions they advertise on recruitment platforms?

He clearly just didn't want to provoke her.

"Manager An, although we have worked together before and I know that your work ability is excellent, I still don't think it's a good fit."

"I'm sorry, your education level is too high. A company of our size doesn't need someone like you."

"Manager An, long time no see! Oh? You contacted HR? Oh? The signal is bad, I can't hear you..."

An Ying hung up the phone without expression.

Lu Qiyao's smug face flashed into my mind.

Ye Rao crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the living room: "With such an excellent resume, whether it's your education or your work ability, how could you be lacking in any aspect! I know... it's Lu Qiyao, right? It must be him, I knew that bastard was full of bad intentions!"

Ye Rao said angrily, "Is there no law anymore! I don't believe Lu Qiyao can control everything in Beicheng!"

It's impossible for Lu Qiyao to control everything, but the Lu family has been developing rapidly in recent years, and no one would be foolish enough to offend the young master of the Lu family for the sake of an unknown person like An Ying.

An Ying whispered, "Lu Qiyao calculated that I would not be able to withstand the pressure and would obediently go back to continue working for him."

Turning back is impossible.

We have to find another way.

Ye Rao suddenly thought of something else: "An Ying, why have you never thought about going to the Fu family?"

The Fu family is not only a top-tier wealthy family in Beicheng, but also has businesses all over the world, making them extremely wealthy.

Many companies dream of getting a chance to cooperate with the Fu family, since even a small amount of money from the Fu family would be enough for them to make a profit.

If an ordinary person can secure a position within the Fu family, the benefits and compensation far exceed those of other companies, which is why many people are desperate to get into the Fu family.

Ye Rao: "Over the years, you've at least gone back to pay your respects to the old man during holidays. Why didn't you ever think about finding a way out for yourself in the Fu family?"

An Ying recalled: "When I was twelve years old, my father took me to the Fu family for the first time. The Fu family's big iron gate was locked, and they wouldn't let us in."

“My dad knelt in front of the big iron gate, called the old man, cried bitterly, and said that he had reformed and would never make mistakes again to cause trouble for the Fu family.”

"Old Master Fu made a three-point agreement with my father, one of which was that we were not allowed to have any business dealings with the Fu family, otherwise we would be kicked out of Beicheng immediately."

"My dad agreed to three conditions from Grandpa Fu before he let the butler open the door. Then my dad wiped away his tears, smiled, and led me into the Fu family home."

Ye Rao asked in bewilderment, "What terrible mistake did your father make back then that made Old Master Fu hold a grudge for so many years?"

An Ying shook her head; she didn't know either.

That was An Weiping's dark history, and it seems that only a few core members of the Fu family knew the inside story.

An Ying felt that these old stories had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, she never had any intention of currying favor with the Fu family, so she was even less inclined to inquire.

Ye Rao muttered to herself, "I wish you could get into the Fu family business."

An Ying nodded; Ye Rao's words made sense.

If one were to join the Fu family, it would not only be easier to be close to Fu Chengli and curry favor with him.

It can also thwart Lu Qiyao's inexplicably overflowing self-confidence.

What's more, the old man forbade An Weiping from touching the Fu family's businesses, yet she, a granddaughter with no blood relation, managed to sneak in.

Wouldn't An Weiping be furious then?

However, An Ying was unsure of Old Master Fu's attitude towards her.

The current Mr. Fu appears to be a very kind and gentle old man, but it is said that he was a tough and decisive man in his youth.

The nearly eighty-year-old patriarch still firmly sits in the position of head of the Fu family, unmoved.

If you want the Fu family to be your backer, it's not enough to just cling to Fu Chengli's leg; he also has Old Master Fu behind him.

An Ying only regretted that she had wasted so much time on Lu Qiyao in the past.

The Fu family, whom they could truly rely on, was right nearby.

An Ying pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't you try and see?"

An Ying found Fu Chengli's phone number on her phone.

The call was answered almost instantly.

Fu Chengli lazily answered "hello" on his phone, and then heard An Ying's aggrieved voice.

"Brother! Someone is bullying me!"

Fu Chengli paused for a moment, glanced at the card table in front of him, raised his hand to signal Secretary Chen, who immediately understood and took the cards from him.

Fu Chengli got up and walked to the quiet side hall, his voice low and serious: "What happened? Where are you? Who bullied you?"
