The woman's eyes sparkled, like stars scattered from the sky, falling perfectly into her eyes.

Chu Xing smiled, clearly pleased with himself.

Song Mai happily handed the card to the young man: "Can I redeem the prize now?"

The young man smiled broadly: "Of course."

As he spoke, he handed Song Mai the cell phone that was on the table next to him.

"Now it's yours."

Song Mai touched the phone; the body was ice-cold.

But she always had an unreal feel to her touch.

Even after holding the phone in her hand for a long time, she still felt like she was dreaming.

She didn't see that as she turned around, Chu Xing patted the young man on the shoulder.

The man nodded respectfully.

Back home, Song Mai touched her phone repeatedly.

She had never used such an expensive phone before.

"Chu Xing! I really won the grand prize! I've never won such a big prize in my life!"

To be precise, I've never won anything! All I've ever had is bad luck; I've never actually won anything...

Everything she has gained is the result of her relentless efforts; this time, it's like a windfall.

The man unfolded the folding bed beside her, listening to the woman share her joy, a smile playing on his lips.

"Things will get better and better after they turn out badly."

Song Mai didn't believe this before, but she was still very happy to hear it today.

Maybe things aren't so bad after all.

Having a mobile phone has saved me a lot of money, and life will be much easier from now on.

The next day, Song Mailu arrived at the company as usual and sat at her workstation to apply a screen protector to her phone.

Lin Ran suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hooked her arm around her shoulder. Then she noticed the phone on her desk and looked on in disbelief.

"Song Mai, you've struck it rich?"

Song Mai, without looking up, squeezed the bubbles on her phone screen and said, "No."

Lin Ran picked up the phone and looked at it again and again, confirming that it was the latest model that had just been released, costing more than ten thousand yuan.

"Don't try to fool me. This phone is probably worth more than your current savings. Tell me honestly, where did it come from?"

Song Mai then told Lin Ran about winning the prize at the supermarket yesterday.

Lin Ran was incredibly envious after hearing this. If it weren't during working hours, she would have rushed to the supermarket that Song Mai mentioned to try her luck in the lottery.

At the same time, the HR manager placed a disciplinary notice on Zheng Yao's desk.

Zheng Yao picked up the notice and immediately saw the two large characters for "dismissal" near the end.

"Is the company going to fire me?"

The HR manager casually raised an eyebrow at her:

"You did these things yourself, so firing you wouldn't be a problem, would it? Did you think just fining me a little bonus would be enough?"

Zheng Yao slammed her hand on the table, filled with resentment.

"Why should I be fired like this! I've been with the company for so many years, and even if I haven't made any great contributions, I've certainly worked hard. The company can't just fire me like this!"

The HR manager found it hilarious.

“Zheng Yao, get this straight, you’re just a receptionist. You haven’t created any value for the company, nor have you worked particularly hard. All you do is have conflicts with your colleagues and frame others. What makes you think you deserve the phrase ‘no merit, but hard work’?”

Zheng Yao stubbornly stuck out her neck, gritting her teeth and glaring fiercely at the HR manager.

"I won't leave! I absolutely won't leave!"

"Suit yourself, but you have to leave the company today."

The HR manager was annoyed by her grimacing and menacing appearance, so he threw down a remark and stormed off.

The more Zheng Yao looked at the notice, the more unacceptable it became to her.

Why should Song Mai be able to stay at the company while she has to leave?

What should she do after leaving this job?

The more Zheng Yao thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't leave. If she really left, all her previous plans would have been for nothing!

With nowhere else to go, she picked up the notice and strode into the manager's office.

Lin Ran was paddling when she saw Zheng Yao enter the manager's office and immediately sensed the juicy gossip.

"How did she get in? I seem to remember that not long ago she was swaggering around in the manager's office, and she even made the manager smash things."

A young girl next to her immediately joined her in eating melon seeds.

"Yeah, she actually dared to barge in, that's amazing, she's got real guts."

Fang Yu was reviewing the project's translation documents when he heard someone enter instead of a knock on the door, causing him to frown.

"Why don't you even know to knock?"

But when he looked up, the person who came in was none other than Zheng Yao.

His face darkened instantly, like night falling, and his tone turned sour.

What are you doing here?

Zheng Yao was the receptionist for the Spanish department, so she was under his jurisdiction. However, the receptionist's job was mainly about receiving and sending documents, which was easy and didn't take long. As a result, Zheng Yao had been with the company for many years, and Fang Yu had hardly ever paid any attention to her.

Zheng Yao didn't reply. Instead, she walked directly to Fang Yu, pushed him down into the boss's chair, and sat down on his lap, while one hand rummaged around on Fang Yu's chest.

"Will you be willing to let me go?"

Having learned from what happened last time, Fang Yu was no longer going to fall for it.

He pushed Zheng Yao away.

"This is a company, please have some self-respect."

Zheng Yao then realized that Fang Yu was incredibly calm.

"You already knew the outcome, didn't you?"

Fang Yu took out a cigarette, lit it, and glanced sideways at Zheng Yao.

"So what if you know? This is the company's punishment result. If you don't agree, go and make trouble with the company. Don't come here looking for trouble."

Having been used as a pawn by Zheng Yao last time, Fang Yu has completely seen through the true nature of women.

She turns her back on you without mercy; when trouble comes, she's with Zhong Wuyan; when things are peaceful, she's with Xia Yingchun.

Seeing Fang Yu's cold attitude, Zheng Yao panicked.

She quickly grabbed the lighter before Fang Yu could get it, and thoughtfully lit his cigarette for him.

Her voice was soft and sounded pitiful: "Manager Fang, it was all my fault before. I was young and ignorant. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again. I really can't leave the company."

At this point, Zheng Yao burst into tears, her face streaked with tears.

“I’ve never thought about leaving since I joined the company. Before, I was too concerned about that woman, Song Mai, and in my moment of excitement, I accidentally hurt someone who cared about me. It’s all my fault…”

She climbed onto Fang Yu's arm, resting her head on his shoulder. Her frail appearance was so delicate that she looked like a willow swaying in the breeze, a sight that evoked pity.

Unfortunately, if it weren't for what happened not long ago, Fang Yu would still believe this side of her.

Fang Yu had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, the flame flickering on and off.

Her gesture and gaze did not soften in the slightest.

"My place is too small to accommodate someone as important as you. The company has made the decision, and there's nothing I can do about it."
