A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

"Stop daydreaming and get back to work. We're almost out of popcorn. We'll be going to a nightclub later, so hurry up and get the popcorn ready."

"I know, I know. It really is almost winter. The temperature has been dropping these past few days. I feel cold even in just a thin short-sleeved shirt."

While they were talking, their hands didn't stop. The two girls stood by, adding corn kernels to the popcorn machine on one hand, and quickly counting tickets for each person who came and went on the other.

"Winter is coming, and the New Year is just around the corner. My dad had a serious illness this year, and it cost a lot of money. I still need to work hard to earn money. It's impossible to get rich overnight. I'd better just go to my job and earn my money honestly."

The short-haired girl checked all the work carefully, then plopped down at the workbench. The girl who had been gushing over her crush earlier also put her phone away.

"Me too. Being poor has its troubles, and being rich has its troubles too. It's better to keep things simple."

Two girls were chatting away when another girl walked over. She was wearing the most fashionable dress right now, and that dress alone was worth five figures. The two girls were quick-witted.

I was startled by the bag she slammed onto the workbench.

"Hello, miss, how can we help you?"

They had seen this bag on the counter; it represented a year's salary for them.

The short-haired girl immediately stood up, smiling as she asked what she needed, "Do you want to buy movie tickets? Or is there anything else we can help you with?"

"What movie were those two watching? I need the exact same ticket as them. Where were they sitting? I want to sit next to them or behind them."

This could be considered an infringement on the rights of the two people who had just left. The short-haired girl and the girl from before were instantly put in a difficult position. They were just working people, and they didn't know how to respond to such a request.

"Miss, we don't know which seats those two guests bought. We only know which movie ticket she bought."

"Yes, yes, they placed their order online."

"So complicated?" Fortunately, the girl wasn't unreasonable. She frowned. "How many seats are left for that movie screening? I've bought them all. How do I pay?"

"!!"

The two women were just talking about how they had no money, and now a rich young lady with nowhere to spend it has arrived.

It's true that the problem for rich people is not knowing where to spend their money.

"Ok."

The short-haired girl deftly produced their store's payment QR code, while another girl quickly checked how many seats were left for that movie, smiling even more ingratiatingly, "Miss, hello, there are a total of 128 seats available."

"it is good."

With a ding, several thousand yuan disappeared.

The girl, wearing high heels, picked up her bag from the table, took out her sunglasses, and put them on. "Get me a Coke."

"Ok."

Then he walked inside with an arrogant air.

"Is the short-haired girl sure she wants to wear sunglasses since she's going to the movies?"

Another girl, "She looks kind of familiar..."

The short-haired girl glanced at her. "Why do you feel like everyone looks familiar? Did you read their minds in a past life?"

"..."

"I remember now, I remember now! It was in the newspapers and on the front page of Weibo a while ago, during the inauguration ceremony of the CEO of the Luo Group. The man just now was the CEO of the Luo Group, and the girl standing next to him was Xu Shuli, the eldest daughter of the Xu family!! I knew they looked familiar, I'm a big shipper for them!!"

However, the people from both groups handled their photos very well, only showing a little bit of their backs and some side profiles.

After hearing her say that, the short-haired girl also had a vague recollection of it. The appointment of the CEO of the Luo Group had caused a sensation throughout the entire capital city, and almost everyone knew about it.

"That girl from earlier? I told her I didn't remember her at all."

"She is Wu Lina. There are only a few snippets on her Weibo account, no comprehensive introduction. Well, how could the affairs of such a wealthy and powerful family be spread so easily?"

She comforted herself, thinking that she had finally seen the couple she had been shipping for so long, and just as she had imagined, they really were together, otherwise they wouldn't have come out to watch the movie so intimately.

"Ahhhhh...I'm so excited! I finally saw them both!!"

"Don't get too excited yet. Wait until she comes out, then you can ask her for her WeChat. Maybe you can even take a picture with her?"

They were secretly happy, and the girl didn't take her words to heart; she was just excited that she had finally met the person she had wanted to see for a long time.

Wu Lina, wearing high heels, followed the signs and walked step by step to her destination: the movie theater.

She came here for only one purpose: to meet Luo Yunqi. Coincidentally, she had just been at the restaurant where Xu Shuli was eating, right behind them, and she also learned that Luo Yunqi was coming to pick her up to go to the movies later.

That's why she specifically followed along.

Hsu Shu-li, why are you the center of attention, surrounded by everyone like a star?

She never pursued anyone else. From a young age, she had high standards and ordinary people couldn't even catch her eye. Ever since she saw Luo Yunqi from afar when she was a child, she has always firmly believed that the person she would marry in the future would be Luo Yunqi, and that Luo Yunqi would fall in love with her.

But to his utter surprise, Xu Shuli had already appeared by his side at that time, and the two even had a very good relationship. Three years ago, Luo Yunqi ran away from Xu Shuli's engagement ceremony, giving her a great hope.

Before he could take another step forward, Xu Shuli was still by his side.

From childhood to adulthood, countless people have compared her to Xu Shuli, and the comparisons have led to the saying that if you're going to have a daughter, you should have Xu Shuli.

From birth, family background, appearance, and even her every move, she surpassed him. Why should the person he liked still like her in the end?

Wu Lina was unconvinced. She believed she could do better than Xu Shuli. She could also attract so much attention and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. So why couldn't Luo Yunqi's attention stay on her so early on?

Thinking this, she walked in with her head held high. She would prove to many people that she was no worse than Xu Shuli. If Xu Shuli said she could do it, she could too. She would surpass Xu Shuli in what Xu Shuli was proficient in.

The movie started, and the theater was quiet. Everyone was focused on the screen. There weren't many people watching the movie at this time; only a few people were scattered around.

As soon as Wu Lina entered, she began scanning their figures and spotted the two people in the middle.

Shoulder to shoulder, in the dim light, their intimacy was palpable.
