The next morning.
Shen Qingqing stretched lazily. Last night had been rare Lu Qianshan hadn’t caused her any trouble.
So she’d slept soundly.
She glanced at Lu Qianshan, still lying asleep, after having spent half the night teaching her finance.
Shen Qingqing smiled to herself and lightly leapt off the bed.
She checked the time it was not even 7:30 a.m. so she didn’t wake Lu Qianshan.
She went to the bathroom, finished her morning routine, changed into a proper professional outfit, and picked up her briefcase. After quickly eating a few bites in the dining room, she left the villa and got into the car Lu Qianshan had arranged for her.
Yes, to accommodate Shen Qingqing, Lu Qianshan had specially arranged a full-time driver, available 24/7.
Although unnecessary, Shen Qingqing found it quite convenient.
After getting out of the car, she handed the driver a 100-yuan note from her bag and casually said, “Tip.”
After all, arriving at 7:30 was technically overtime. She couldn’t let him work for nothing.
In the original plot, the female lead wanted to show off her hardworking nature.
After joining Lu’s company, she barely did any work, her performance wasn’t great, but she insisted on coming in early.
Work started at 9 a.m., but Shen Baiyun would arrive at 8.
Eventually, all the company staff started coming in an hour early.
And the original Shen Qingqing?
On her first day, she was also assigned to the company by Wang Lanhua.
Unaware of the new rule, she arrived late.
The “real vs. fake heiress” comparison once again made her look like the contrast to Shen Baiyun.
Before coming to work, the original body had even called Shen Baiyun to ask but Shen Baiyun deliberately evaded a clear answer.
The original story beautified Shen Baiyun a lot.
But Shen Qingqing found her utterly disgusting.
Looking at the imposing Lu Corporation building, Shen Qingqing’s gaze grew cold.
She mentally formulated her plan, then strode forward, notifying the Sales Department II staff to come in early.
Yes, it wasn’t just Shen Baiyun who would arrive early.
By taking the female lead’s path, Shen Qingqing left the lead with nowhere to go.
Having worked as manager for a month, Sales Department II’s performance had been unusually strong (mostly bought by Shen Jing’s assistance).
Plus, Shen Qingqing promised overtime pay.
By 8 a.m., the department was already full of employees.
And then Shen Baiyun pushed open the office door.
She had expected the office to be empty.
Suddenly, a busy crowd appeared.
Her expression changed slightly. What was going on?
She had carefully planned to arrive one hour early.
Shen Qingqing lifted her head, stared straight into Shen Baiyun’s somewhat stunned eyes, then picked up a folder and walked over.
“Shen Baiyun, why are you so late? Didn’t you see my notice?”
Shen Baiyun’s face paled.
Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes and slammed the folder onto Shen Baiyun’s chest: “So late! Aren’t you going to get to work?”
The other employees turned, exchanging surprised glances.
The soft-spoken, easygoing Shen Qingqing… had just slammed a folder?
What was going on?
A knowledgeable female employee lowered her head and whispered, “You don’t know? Our manager is the real Shen family heiress, and this Shen Baiyun…”
In a few words, she revealed a secret of the wealthy family.
Those who had been sympathetic to Shen Baiyun now looked at her with disdain and contempt.
Shen Baiyun felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She was here to work as a front for Lu Kai, claiming independence, though that wasn’t her true intention.
But with Shen Qingqing watching, she had no choice but to power on her computer.
And realized… she didn’t know how to do anything.
Shen Qingqing glanced at the flustered Shen Baiyun, smiled, leaned down, and said softly: “A fake is a fake even this you can’t do!”
With that, Shen Qingqing didn’t look at Shen Baiyun again, turning straight into the manager’s office.
After all, she and Shen Baiyun had now torn their masks off any recklessness was justified by her character.
From innocent wronged supporting character to malicious supporting character Shen Qingqing knew this script well.
Shen Baiyun was left alone at the desk, her nails digging into her palms.
Her lips pressed together, eyes filled with the anger of humiliation, and she glanced at the surrounding “colleagues” pointing and whispering.
Sure enough, these people were all on Shen Qingqing’s side!
Staring at the blank computer screen, she felt embarrassment and rage.
Soon, it was lunchtime.
Shen Qingqing looked at Shen Baiyun, strode over, and shouted, “Shen Baiyun, the whole morning has passed, and you haven’t typed a single word!”
“You’re still the Shen family daughter, but if you drag down the department’s sales because of yourself, you’ll regret it!”
“Hmph, a fake is a fake!”
Shen Qingqing dropped the words with all the flair of a venomous supporting character, hands on hips, strutting out of the office.
Sales Department II staff left one by one, leaving biting remarks that humiliated Shen Baiyun.
Shen Qingqing folded her arms, watching from outside.
The original body’s misfortune seemed to have been avenged.
But it wasn’t enough.
Shen Qingqing smirked, entered the elevator, and took out her phone to make a call.
Once connected “Hello, I’ve already contacted the radio reporters…”
Soon, the elevator dinged open.
Shen Qingqing stepped out in her heels, hanging up the phone.
At Lu Corporation’s entrance.
A crowd of reporters and passersby surrounded a plainly dressed couple.
“Oh my heavens! How can they do this? Their own daughter doesn’t care if her parents live or die!”
“Living a good life in the city, ignoring her parents how despicable!”
“Look everyone, this is Shen Baiyun!”
Shen Laicai sat in a wheelchair, pretending to be gravely ill. Song Zhaodi knelt with a stack of “medical reports” and photos of Shen Baiyun, sobbing dramatically.
Facing the reporters’ cameras, they weren’t fazed at all.
Some reporters had been assigned by Shen Qingqing; others had come chasing the story, snapping pictures.
Shen Baiyun, meanwhile, was at work but she was barely working; she didn’t know how.
Suddenly, a woman rushed in frantically. Shen Baiyun steadied herself and asked loudly, “Who is Shen Baiyun? Shen Baiyun, come out immediately!”
Shen Baiyun was puzzled, stood up, and said, “I’m Shen Baiyun. What’s the matter?”
The woman coldly said, “Shen Baiyun, your parents are causing a scene at the company entrance. Go down immediately and settle this! The higher-ups already know about it.”
Shen Baiyun’s face turned pale.
She immediately understood.
Shen Laicai and Song Zhaodi… how dare they!
Raging inside, she forced a smile and said, “Got it,” then hurried to the elevator and rushed downstairs.
When she reached the company entrance, Song Zhaodi, who had been standing, immediately fell to her knees and clutched her.
“Oh my good daughter, you finally came out!”
“Your father is seriously ill, your brother is injured, and your grandmother is still in the hospital!”
“Our family desperately needs money!”
Money! Again, it was about money!
Shen Baiyun pressed a hand to her chest, looked at the crowd of cameras, and forced herself to smile “Mom, please get up first!”
But Song Zhaodi held onto her legs, refusing to let go “No, good daughter, don’t go, Mom won’t let go.”
