You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

Lin Qinghan's legs felt as if all the bones had been removed.

I slumped softly onto the smooth marble floor tiles.

A desperate howl escaped from his throat.

"The mysterious tycoon who bought my life's work...it's actually Chen Yuan?!"

Wang Kai looked down at her from his elevated position.

His chubby face was etched with undisguised glee and contempt.

He closed the document with the bright red official seal in his hand and tucked it under his arm.

"That's right, it's Brother Yuan."

"The man you threw away like trash back then, I could crush you with a flick of my finger now."

Lin Qinghan's stomach suddenly convulsed.

The sour bile stuck in my throat, so bitter it made me feel numb.

She gripped the grout between the floor tiles with all ten fingers, and bright red blood seeped from the edges of her nails.

What exactly did she miss in these five years?

A giant dragon that once perched in the clouds was driven out of her home by her blindness.

"Mr. Wang... I beg you..."

Lin Qinghan looked up, tears mixed with dust washing down her face, leaving two muddy lines.

"Let me see him, or arrange a job for me."

"My parents' fingers are infected and they will die if we don't have money to buy anti-inflammatory medicine."

She slammed her forehead against the hard floor tiles, making a dull thud.

Wang Kai snorted coldly.

The leather shoes moved away from Lin Qinghan's sight without any mercy.

"Brother Yuan knew you'd come back wagging your tail."

"He said that if you want to stay and earn money to pay off your debts, you can."

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Lin Qinghan's empty pupils.

The dry, chapped lips were desperately pulled upwards.

"Thank you... thank you! I can do any job, from director to manager, I'll help him improve the company's performance!"

"That's wishful thinking."

Wang Kai ruthlessly interrupted her daydreaming.

"Yuan-ge's exact words were, 'The Lin family members are not qualified to touch the core business.'"

"The company happens to be short of a ground floor cleaner who can clean toilets and mop floors."

"Base salary is 2,500 yuan, plus one lunch."

"If you're going to do it, go to the logistics department and get your work clothes. If you're not going to do it, go back to the streets and wait to die."

The two numbers, like rusty nails, pierced straight into Lin Qinghan's brain.

Two thousand five hundred.

She used to spend more than that on an afternoon tea at a high-end restaurant.

But now, this is the food that the Lin family of three needs to survive.

She bit her lower lip until it bled, and rusty blood dripped down her chin.

"I'll do it... I'll do it."

Half an hour later.

In the dark and damp storage room of the logistics department.

Lin Qinghan took off her smelly old clothes.

I picked up a set of blue synthetic fiber work clothes that smelled of cheap mothballs.

The fabric was as rough as tree bark, and when it rubbed against my skin, it caused a rash.

The size was wrong too; the wide trouser legs dragged on the ground and were covered in dust.

She forced herself to put the clothes on despite feeling nauseous.

The woman in the mirror had a withered face and messy hair.

She is exactly like a downtrodden middle-aged woman.

There's not a trace of the former female CEO left.

The top floor of Xingchen Venture Capital, the president's office.

This place used to be Lin Qinghan's territory, where he issued orders.

Those expensive leather sofas and handmade Persian rugs were all cleaned up thoroughly.

It has been redesigned with a cold, hard, minimalist style in black, white, and gray.

Lin Qinghan was carrying a plastic bucket filled with disinfectant.

The pungent chemical smell made her eyes water.

She knelt on the floor.

Holding a yellowed rag, he vigorously wiped the shiny tiles.

She used to sit here wearing a custom-made suit worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Now, she can only kneel at others' feet like a slave.

The air conditioning was on full blast.

The icy temperature crept up my kneecap.

She was so cold that her jaw was chattering.

Click.

The office door was pushed open from the outside.

The high heels made a sharp clattering sound as they stepped on the freshly mopped floor.

Lin Qinghan subconsciously raised her head.

The woman who entered was Li Na, wearing a bodycon skirt.

Formerly an administrative assistant at the Lin Group.

Once, because he added the wrong piece of sugar to his coffee, Lin Qinghan splashed hot coffee all over his face in public.

He was even called a "brainless idiot" by his own eyes.

Now, Li Na wears a gold name tag that reads "Logistics Supervisor."

"Lin Qinghan, are you blind?!"

Li Na kicked the plastic bucket full of disinfectant.

Splash!

The murky, dirty water splashed out, directly onto Lin Qinghan's knees and trouser legs.

The icy, filthy water instantly soaked through his blue overalls.

"Manager Li... I'm sorry, I'll wipe it clean right away."

Lin Qinghan shuddered.

The arrogance that once lingered in his eyes was crushed by the fear of survival.

She frantically grabbed a rag and desperately tried to suck up the dirty water from the floor.

"Do you still think you're the aloof and superior CEO Lin?"

Li Na coldly stared at the woman kneeling at her feet wiping the floor.

The stiletto heels deliberately stepped on Lin Qinghan's hands, which were covered in chilblains.

He pounded it twice with force.

"what!"

Lin Qinghan gasped in pain.

The skin on the back of my hand was cut by the sharp heel of the shoe, and traces of blood seeped out.

But she dared not resist, or even pull her hand back.

He let the blood and dirty water drip down.

"Mr. Chen set a rule that there can't be a single hair on the floor."

Li Na moved her foot away and took out a handful of sunflower seed shells from her pocket.

It was scattered and carelessly thrown onto the floor that Lin Qinghan had just wiped clean.

"If you don't finish cleaning this 100 square meters today, you can forget about your base salary of 2,500."

After saying that, Li Na strode away in her high heels.

He left Lin Qinghan with a haughty, arrogant back view.

boom.

The door was slammed shut.

Thirty kilometers away.

The underground study at Genting Manor was dimly lit.

Chen Yuan sat in a gaming chair surrounded by multiple screens.

He was holding a warm cup of black coffee.

One of the screens was displaying live feeds of the CEO's office.

Lin Qinghan looked disheveled as she knelt on the ground wiping the floor.

Along with Li Na's harsh and difficult remarks, they were clearly conveyed.

There was no warmth in Chen Yuan's dark eyes.

Like watching a boring black and white silent film.

I didn't feel relieved, I just found it annoying.

He took a sip of coffee, the bitter and mellow flavor spreading in his mouth.

In his eyes, this woman's tears were less than ice cubes in a glass.

Long, slender fingers tapped a key on the keyboard.

The signal to that screen was cut off directly.

The screen instantly went dark.

in the office.

Lin Qinghan endured the cramping pain in her stomach.

Pick up the sunflower seed shells from the ground one by one and put them into the trash bag.

She dared not stop.

She bit her chapped lips until they bled.

She knew that every corner of this place was equipped with the latest surveillance cameras.

Chen Yuan will definitely be able to see her behind the screen.

As long as she behaves obediently enough.

As long as she is willing to endure hardship and completely lower her dignity.

The man who once loved her deeply will surely remember every little detail of the past five years.

As long as Chen Yuan has a soft heart, even if it's just the slightest bit moved.

She can turn things around.

This morbid self-discipline has become her only source of support to keep living.

She wrung out the rag with her hands, which were red from the cold.

He knelt on the floor again.

His waist was bent extremely low, and his back arched into a humble curve.

As she wiped the dirty water off the floor, she looked up at the office security camera and said, "Chen Yuan, I'll prove to you that I can endure hardship, and you'll definitely look at me again."
