I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

at the same time.

The county town is dozens of kilometers away from Jiangjia Village.

In a cheap barbershop called "Trend Front".

The pungent smell of perm solution mingled with the loud noise of the hairdryer.

"Jiang Xiaoyan! Are you out of your mind?! Can't you see customer number 12 is waiting to get their hair washed?!"

The sharp-tongued proprietress, hands on her hips, yelled at a young girl playing on her phone in a corner.

The girl was Jiang Xiaoyan, a distant cousin of Jiang Chen's family, who was beyond the fifth degree of kinship.

She rolled her eyes impatiently and slowly stood up.

"Okay, okay, what's the rush? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

She muttered to herself, but skillfully wrapped a towel around the guest's neck and squeezed shampoo onto his hair.

While absentmindedly scratching the guest's head, Jiang Xiaoyan's other hand was also busy.

She opened WeChat Moments and began her "socialite" daily life.

The accompanying photo is an exquisite picture of afternoon tea, with an all-English fashion magazine next to it.

She skillfully sent it out, and then opened a WeChat group called "High-end Lifestyle Resources Sharing Group (9.9 RMB per month)".

In the group chat, pictures and videos of various five-star hotels, private jets, and luxury parties are being posted rapidly.

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Xiaoyan's face.

What's it like to wash the hair of a greasy middle-aged man in real life?

In her social media posts, she's portrayed as an independent woman who has traveled the world, a socialite who looks down on everyone else.

Just then, she swiped her finger and came across a short video.

The person who posted the video was her cousin, Jiang Taohua, whom she had blocked long ago but who was still in a certain relatives' group.

The background of the video is a modern farmland that looks very high-tech.

Dozens of black drones are flying in neat formation at low altitude, carrying out spraying operations.

The scene was so spectacular it looked like something out of a science fiction movie.

Jiang Xiaoyan pursed her lips.

"Tch, which village came up with this gimmick again? It's probably photoshopped, right?"

Just as she was about to swipe away, the next shot of the video stunned her.

A bright pink Mercedes-Benz G-Class and a black Audi A6L were parked side by side on the edge of a field.

An incredibly beautiful girl was leaning against the car with a handsome man, laughing and talking.

Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes widened instantly!

Even though they were far apart, she recognized him at a glance!

That man, isn't he Jiang Chen, her cousin who's supposedly doing poorly in Shanghai?!

Wasn't he so poor that he couldn't even afford to pay his rent?

Why are you driving an Audi?

And the girl next to her is even prettier than those internet celebrity photos she stole from her WeChat Moments!

Jiang Xiaoyan felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling of jealousy.

She opened Jiang Taohua's Moments and scrolled down.

It wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't turned it over, but once she did, Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Jiang Taohua's latest post on WeChat Moments is her showing off.

Oh dear, the village's first quarterly dividends have arrived. Not much, just enough to buy a few new clothes.

The accompanying image is a screenshot of a bank notification that the money has been deposited into the account.

It clearly states above: [Dividend received: 20,000.00 yuan]!

Twenty thousand yuan!

Jiang Xiaoyan's breathing stopped.

She worked so hard, enduring the stench of feet and greasy hair every day, washing people's hair for a month straight, exhausting herself, and only earned three thousand yuan!

Jiang Taohua, that incredibly unsophisticated country girl who can't even read properly, does absolutely nothing and yet earns 20,000 yuan a quarter?!

Why should I?!

It was as if a bomb had exploded in Jiang Xiaoyan's mind!

She remembered that during the Spring Festival, her parents had mentioned on the phone that Jiang Chen was running some kind of company in the village and had made everyone rich.

At the time, she scoffed, thinking it was just bragging.

Now it seems...

It's all true!

A thought, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, sprouted wildly from the depths of Jiang Xiaoyan's heart!

"Jiang Taohua, a village girl, can earn so much money..."

"And what about me?"

"I've seen the world! I speak English! I know fashion! I have so many 'high-end connections'!"

"With my talent, if I went back to the village, wouldn't Jiang Chen be begging and pleading to have me as a vice president?"

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed!

She looked in the mirror at herself, dressed in cheap work clothes, her hands covered in foam.

He glanced at his phone again at the idyllic scene of Jiangjia Village and the glaring "20,000 yuan" dividend.

An unprecedented sense of humiliation and resentment welled up in my heart!

"Snapped!"

She suddenly slammed the shampoo bottle in her hand onto the ground!

The customer who was getting his hair washed was startled, his head covered in foam, and stared at her in astonishment.

"What are you doing? Do you want to die?!"

Jiang Xiaoyan didn't even glance at him. She ripped off her apron and yelled at the proprietress behind the counter, who was doing the accounting!

"I quit!"

"From today onwards! I don't want to stay in this lousy shop for even a single day longer!"

"I'm going home! I'm inheriting my vast fortune!"

After saying that, she turned around and rushed out of the hair salon without looking back, amidst everyone's shocked gazes.

I returned to that rented room, which was only ten square meters and didn't even have a window.

Jiang Xiaoyan excitedly began packing her luggage.

A fake bag with a huge LV logo printed on it.

Several so-called "haute couture" dresses I bought on Pinduoduo, with loose threads and cracks.

And then there were those knock-off red-soled high heels she bought with two months' salary savings; the heels were worn through, revealing the plastic underneath.

These are all her "combat gear".

She took a deep breath and tapped on Jiang Chen's WeChat profile picture, which hadn't changed in ages.

Her fingers flew across the screen, each word carefully calculated and manipulated.

"Brother Chen, it's been a long time!"

"I heard your family business is doing really well lately? Congratulations!"

"I'm currently on a gap year, and I'm feeling quite tired of being away from home. I'm thinking of coming back to see if there are any opportunities for us to cooperate?"

After sending this WeChat message, which was a mix of Chinese and English and showcased the style of a "returned overseas student,"...

Jiang Xiaoyan felt that her entire demeanor had been elevated to a higher level.

She imagined how shocked and flattered Jiang Chen would be when he saw this WeChat message!

They'll definitely call right away, using the most humble tone, begging me, this "international talent," to join them!

However, a minute passed.

Five minutes passed.

The phone is quiet.

Just when Jiang Xiaoyan was about to lose her composure.

Jiang Chen finally replied to his WeChat message.

There are no words.

There is only one emoji.

An elderly man with a wrinkled face held up a brick-sized mobile phone. The screen displayed the words: "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Jiang Xiaoyan's smile froze on her face.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Hmph, it must be because my cousin hasn't kept up with international trends for too long and doesn't understand my sophisticated vocabulary.

It's okay!

When I get back, I'll show him in person what a real socialite aura is like!

Undeterred, she confidently applied a meticulously applied heavy makeup in front of the mirror.

Then, she carried her enormous fake Hermès Birkin bag.

With great pride and high spirits, they boarded the green bus back to the village.

She had already begun to imagine a glorious future where she would return to Jiangjia Village, become the company's vice president, meet a rich and handsome man, and reach the pinnacle of her life!
