Five years later...Possibly because Shen Zhiwei had been away from the upper class for such a long time, she had never thought that she would have such a boss. He was so mean that he would ask her to buy him fast food two kilometers away so as to save on the delivery cost. What made her even angrier was that she wouldn't get any reimbursement.On the bus, she didn't calm down until she cursed her boss, Zhang Quan, out inwardly.Five years ago, she went to City B alone and got a job in a small ad agency by chance. Though she was not highly paid, she had been in the agency for five years, for it was a steady and easy job, and she had considerable savings.Then, she suddenly heard that the next stop would be Lijiang Kindergarten.She quickly raised her head to look at the time—it was 12:00 am, around which time Duoduo's class would be over.Since her boss was so stingy, Shen Zhiwei decided to get off at the Lijiang Kindergarten Stop and took Duoduo for lunch first; however, as soon
Shen Zhiwei heard everything, but she wasn't angry.During the five years she had been raising Duoduo, she had grown used to rumors like this.The bell rang to signal that class was over, so she went to wait by the door of Duoduo's classroom. With school finished for the day, a pretty girl with pigtails called to Shen Zhiwei in her soft, sweet voice. "Mom! I'm here! Why are you here?"Looking up, Shen Zhiwei spotted her little girl. She was about four or five years old, had rosy lips and pretty white teeth, and her big black eyes were so shiny that when she blinked, they reminded her of one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Shen Zhiwei could faintly recognize that man's handsome feature on that little face."Sweetheart, I'm free this afternoon, so I thought I could take you out for lunch."Shen Zhiwei picked Duoduo up, and the girl kissed her loudly on the cheek before speaking in a pleading tone. "Mom, my classmates told me that KFC has the yummiest things in the world. Ho
Zhang the Exploiter was lashing out at Shen Zhiwei, because she was 30 minutes late for work. He was about to deduct half a day's pay from her salary when he received a phone call. No one knew what the person on the other end said, but the look on Zhang's face changed abruptly, and he turned to Shen Zhiwei with an enigmatic smile.After hanging up, he moved closer with a grin while awkwardly rubbing his hands together. "Xiao Shen, the thing is, one of our business partners has arrived at B City without telling us beforehand. Those above have decided you should entertain our business partner this evening."Shen Zhiwei was about to decline when Zhang the Exploiter ground his teeth, as if he was going to spend a fortune on something. "Xiao Shen, you've always been the most outstanding employee of our company. If you can close the deal tonight, I'll double your year-end bonus!"Frowning, Shen Zhiwei was surprised.The man was known for his stinginess, so why would he offer to double he
Shen Zhiwei walked out of the restaurant to find it drizzling outside.Clutching her handbag, Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but fidget. During the past five years, she had thought about the possibility of running into Bo Yan again, but had never expected him to show up so out of the blue. Clearly, he had found out where she was working."What about Duoduo?"Has he found out about her, too?"She shook her head almost immediately, deeming it a coincidence only. If he knew, he wouldn't have stayed so calm. With that thought, she left the restaurant to hail a taxi from across the street, but ran into Zhao Qin and Han Ying again.The couple had just come out of a restaurant. Han Ying wore a white fishtail dress and Zhao Qin was in a black suit. Together, they looked quite the perfect pair."You..." Han Ying was surprised to see Shen Zhiwei here, but she soon asked angrily, "Shen Zhiwei, what are you doing here? Did you know that we were having dinner here and followed us?"It had Zhao Qi
The five years hadn't changed Shen Zhiwei's defiant nature.Taking a deep breath, she smiled and got into the car.It wasn't just a show for Han Ying, but Shen Zhiwei was also trying to find out how much Bo Yan knew about her current life.Han Ying and Zhao Qin were still in a trance-like state, even after the car door closed and the vehicle drove out of sight. They felt like it was all a dream and couldn't figure out where Shen Zhiwei had known someone like that.As the car steadily drove on, the inside felt cramped.Shen Zhiwei stiffened a little.Bo Yan didn't want Shen Zhiwei to run away from him again, so he kept his distance. "How have you been these past five years?""President Bo, please cut to the chase. Why on earth did you suddenly show up here?"Shen Zhiwei tried her best to keep her breathing steady, so that she wouldn't look scared."I told you already. I'm driving you home."Shen Zhiwei smirked. "Since when does President Bo know my personal information so well
Duoduo had a little problem recently.That handsome uncle was turning up everywhere! He was there on her way to school and showed up when she was having classes. Sometimes, he even waited for her outside her kindergarten before her mom had arrived. What was more, he wouldn't stop bribing her!When no one was looking, he would give her snacks, toys, and even pocket money!At first, Duoduo thought that the handsome uncle was a bad man, so she tugged at the lower hem of her teacher's clothes.Her teacher stole a few glances out of their window and answered her with flushed cheeks. "That's President Bo, the man who has donated our primary school's teaching building. Duoduo, you should be more careful with your choice of words. If President Bo is upset, we won't be able to have pretty teaching buildings anymore."Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief.That afternoon, after bidding her teacher farewell, Duoduo went to wait for her mom to pick her up at the front entrance, but the first person
"Director Shen, is something bothering you? You've been absent-minded the whole day," one of Shen Zhiwei's subordinates asked suspiciously when he handed Shen Zhiwei a file. The question immediately brought Shen Zhiwei out of her reverie."It's nothing. Some personal issues, that's all." Shen Zhiwei quickly looked through the file and signed it after making sure that everything was correct. She then handed it back to her subordinate, but still couldn't get the picture of what happened the previous afternoon when she picked Duoduo up out of her head."That man that claimed to be Duoduo's dad, could it be Bo Yan?"Just then, Shen Zhiwei's cell phone on the desk started ringing."Hello, Miss Zhang."Duoduo's teacher from the kindergarten asked anxiously, "M- Ms. Shen, is Duoduo there with you?"Shen Zhiwei paled immediately. "Shouldn't Duoduo be with you at the school?""Well... Duoduo was here this morning, but she just disappeared during lunch..."Hearing Miss Zhang's stammering
Bo Yan turned his head at the impact. When he licked his teeth, he could taste blood."Handsome Uncle!" Duoduo was frightened by the slap.She had never seen Shen Zhiwei hit someone before!Picking Duoduo up by her waist, Shen Zhiwei said angrily, "Why did you talk to a stranger? Have you forgotten what I told you? If some human trafficker took you away, I would never be able to save you!""Well... Handsome Uncle is a good man. Mom, how could you hit him?" Shen Zhiwei was holding Duoduo so tight that the girl was having trouble breathing, and she had to ask her mother between broken sobs."Are you talking back now?!""I...""Madam." Just then, a team of aggressive bodyguards in black suits filed into the room, blocking the doorway. Among them was Bo Yan's assistant, who cleared his throat awkwardly. "The lousy idea of inviting the little lady to this mansion was from me, and President Bo had nothing to do with it.""Out of my way!""Madam, would you please give President Bo a
