My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Jiang Shutong thought that the Boyu Group building was so big, with dozens of floors, that even if she were to run into Li Kai, it would be a long time after she started working there.

I never expected to run into it on the very first day!

There was nothing she could do; since she had run into him, she confessed to Li Kai about working at Boyu Group.

She repeatedly told him not to tell Pei Yichen.

She had originally planned to tell Pei Yichen about her joining Boyu Group after she officially started working there.

But last night I lied to Pei Yichen, saying I was going on a business trip for a month.

It's really not the right time to be honest.

Li Kai readily agreed, then immediately took out his phone to send a WeChat message to his boss: "President Pei, the president's wife has come to work at Boyu, and she told me not to tell you."

There's no way around it; he knows exactly who his boss is.

She thought her information was very useful, but Pei Yichen replied calmly, "I know."

Pei Yichen knew, of course, that she was lying about going on a business trip for a month.

After all, they're about to leave Zhitou.

After receiving notification that Jiang Shutong had started working at Boyu Group today, the human resources manager immediately informed him.

The employees around him greeted Li Kai, "Hello, Assistant Li."

"Good morning, Assistant Li."

Li Kai nodded to them one by one.

Jiang Shutong's gaze towards Li Kai was somewhat different; it seemed that Li Kai held a rather high position within Boyu Group.

Assistant Li?

Isn't Li Kai a programmer like Pei Yichen?

Just then, he heard someone ask, "Assistant Li, is our CEO's injury still not fully healed? When can he come back to work?"

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen President Pei..."

Assistant Li adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and replied seriously, "It will take at least another half month."

When the people around him heard that Pei Yichen wouldn't be able to come to the company for another half a month, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They really didn't want to see this living devil at the company.

In the two weeks since Pei Yichen left the company, the atmosphere in the office has felt much freer.

Jiang Shutong followed the crowd into the elevator, her mind racing.

Their CEO is injured?

President Pei?

A terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could Pei Yichen be...?

However, she quickly dismissed this idea.

Li Kai said that the president of Boyu would recover and be able to return to work in about half a month, so it definitely wasn't Pei Yichen.

After all, Pei Yichen will never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.

Moreover, how could the president of Boyu Group have a migrant worker father?

It's just a coincidence that they share the same surname.

Or perhaps, he is some distant relative of the president.

Therefore, even if you are disabled, you can still apply to work from home.

Discarding these chaotic thoughts, Jiang Shutong went to the planning department to report for duty.

The planning department manager formally introduced her to her colleagues, and even brought out a case study of a project she had previously worked on.

Her colleagues politely applauded to welcome her, but the indifference and aloofness in their eyes were very obvious.

Jiang Shutong didn't seem to care much.

After all, she came here to work, not to make friends.

After lunch, she arrived at the lounge. As soon as she reached the door, she heard gossiping voices inside.

In the past, she would have wanted to join, but this time the subject of gossip was herself.

"Have you heard? A person with connections has joined our planning department."

"I heard she used to work at a very small GG company. She must have had some really strong connections to get a job at Boyu."

"Wow, she's so beautiful, all the male colleagues in the department are staring at her."

"I heard she has a relationship with Assistant Li, who works by the president's side. Today, someone saw Assistant Li specifically instruct the planning department manager to take good care of her..."

"That makes sense then, but the president hates favoritism the most, and Assistant Li isn't afraid of being blamed by the president..."

"The CEO is recovering in the hospital and hasn't been to the company for over half a month, so he's become quite reckless..."

Jiang Shutong took a deep breath and walked in confidently.

She crossed her arms, looked at the female colleagues sitting inside, and smiled. "You say I got in because of my relationship with Assistant Li, Boyu. Well, I wonder who you got in with?"

The female colleagues sitting inside exchanged an awkward glance and immediately got up and left.

They might gossip, but they didn't want to fall out with Jiang Shutong.

After all, Jiang Shutong might have powerful backers.

For the next few days, Jiang Shutong wasn't assigned any work; she was simply made to look at planning case studies.

At the meeting on Friday morning, everyone was assigned their own projects and tasks.

Only Jiang Shutong remained idle.

The team leader of her planning group was a capable woman in her thirties with short hair named Xiang Yi.

Xiang Yi finished packing up her documents and stood up. "If there are no further questions, today's meeting is adjourned."

Jiang Shutong called out to her, "Team Leader Xiang."

Xiang Yi paused, her gaze sweeping over her with a hint of impatience. "What is it?"

She stood up confidently and asked with neither arrogance nor servility, "Team Leader Xiang, I've been working here for a week now. I've finished reviewing the company's training materials and relevant case studies. If there are any projects or tasks that need to be handled, please feel free to assign them to me at any time."

Xiang Yi looked at her with a hint of contempt and impatience, and frowned, saying, "Since you're so free, and since no one has organized the old cases from the past few years in our department, could you categorize and organize the budget details, execution process, and results reports for all the planning department's activities into tables and hand them in to me next Monday?"

After saying that, she got up and strode out of the conference room.

The other people in the planning department looked at her with a hint of mockery and a hidden schadenfreude.

Jiang Shutong tightened her clenched hands and took a deep breath.

It's okay, she can.

She's not a fresh graduate anymore; she's seen it all.

weekend.

She declined her best friend's invitation to go shopping and stayed in her room to work.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her father-in-law, Pei Zhengping.

She swiped the screen and tapped to answer, "Hello, Dad."

Pei Zhengping's tone on the other end of the phone was unusually gentle and friendly, "Shutong, I have something to tell you. Why don't you come out for lunch?"

"Dad, is there something you can't say over the phone? I'm a bit busy today..."

His gentle tone didn't last a minute before Pei Zhengping gradually became impatient again, "What are you so busy with? I, as your father-in-law, am asking you to come out for a meal and you're making excuses..."

Jiang Shutong had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, okay, send me an address, I'll come over in a bit."

After hanging up, Pei Zhengping sent her the restaurant's location and then made another call.

"Alright, I've arranged the meeting. Now, make sure your brat shows up on time."
