As soon as Linda entered the office, she looked at her desk, then at the rest of the secretarial team, and asked Lin Tingyue with a stern face, "Have you touched the folders on my desk?"

Ye Wenyu raised her head.

Lin Tingyue looked nervous again, but she lowered her head, then raised it again, smiling brightly, and said to Linda in a flattering tone, "No, no, Sister Linda, didn't I just say that my stomach wasn't feeling well? I wanted to rest in the office for a while and then go to the toilet. But today is my first day of internship, so I didn't bring any toilet paper. Therefore, I was looking for toilet paper everywhere in the office, so your things might have been a little out of place."

Linda looked at Lin Tingyue suspiciously. The chief secretary wasn't just a figurehead. She said coldly, "Everyone has toilet paper in their cubicle, placed in a very conspicuous place. Also, if you don't have your own toilet paper, you should pay for it yourself, instead of taking it from others without permission and rummaging through their things!"

Other colleagues nodded in agreement, no longer showing the same enthusiasm for Lin Tingyue as before.

Feeling guilty, Lin Tingyue immediately said, "Yes, yes, I won't do it again next time. I'm really sorry everyone. I'll buy a lot of toilet paper this afternoon and give everyone a box."

Linda ignored her. Work hours began, and everyone started working in their cubicles. To appease everyone, Lin Tingyue quickly went downstairs to the mall and bought a lot of Vinda facial tissues, giving each person a large box.

Ye Wenyu thought for a moment and sent the video she had secretly filmed outside the door to Linda and Lin Tingfeng, two people she trusted. Lin Tingfeng quickly sent a smiling emoji to indicate that he understood; it was practically an instant reply. He probably only replies to WeChat messages so quickly with her.

Soon, Linda replied: "I understand, I'll be careful! The big boss and his sister are a complicated relationship—" Linda hesitated, clearly not wanting to or daring to say more.

Ye Wenyu stared at Linda's private messages for a while, thinking to herself that the relationship between the three Lin siblings could be described as unpredictable and turbulent, and she knew it even without Linda saying it.

Ye Wenyu's heart finally relaxed a little.

Time passed indefinitely. Ye Wenyu pulled her thoughts back from their kite-like flight and returned to this life.

Tomorrow is the start of the second semester of my sophomore year. In my previous life, during my junior year, I finally saw through the whole truth about Lin Tingfeng. My life, like a house of cards, collapsed overnight, leading to utter despair and tragedy.

Time is running out. In this life, I have come this far, and although I have accomplished nothing, I have at least completed my studies, supported myself, and kept my distance from Lin Tingfeng. Therefore, I have not sunk into the abyss of emptiness and pain.

For her in her previous life, these were already enormous achievements.

She comforted herself, thinking that at least her life was still under her own control. Although she was single and heartbroken, her life wasn't in complete chaos, and she hadn't been caught up in someone else's huge vortex, had she?

She closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully and happily.

The next day was the start of the new semester. She went to register at the school. Since she was still a sophomore, she was eligible for a subsidy for students from impoverished families, so her tuition and accommodation fees were waived. In addition, she received a monthly meal card subsidy, so Ye Wenyu began to save money. Looking at her savings, although the amount was not large, she suddenly felt a great sense of security and warmth.

A person can only have dignity if they have money.

Therefore, she continued to study hard while working part-time.

Money is just a number. In a lifetime, a person can only sleep in one bed and eat three meals a day. Is it really necessary to have so much? Take the Lin family, for example. They are incredibly wealthy, but judging from their past lives, every member of the Lin family lived in a golden shackle and was unhappy.

So now she understands that money is necessary, but too much of it can be harmful.

In this life, all she needs to do is earn enough to buy a small house—her own home—a car, marry a man who loves her, and have a child—her own flesh and blood, her own true family. Then, she can live a peaceful and happy life, and she will be content.

Although she's still a student, her translation work earns her four thousand yuan a month. Since the translation work can be done late at night, she has extra free time, so she found a tutoring job. Not long after finding tutoring, she also found a job at a bookstore near the school. The main job at the bookstore is to organize the books that are out of order. And since book lovers are generally well-behaved these days, the books aren't often messy. It only takes half an hour a day, from 2 pm to 8 pm, five days a week. It's like skipping afternoon classes, but because it pays three thousand yuan a month, Ye Wenyu accepted the job. Since the bookstore work is light and she spends most of her time reading, the loss of skipping afternoon classes is negligible compared to the benefits.

She was reborn. In her previous life, although she didn't graduate from university, she at least finished her second year. So for her, it didn't matter whether she attended classes or not, because she had already learned the material once in her previous life.

However, for the vast majority of ordinary students, it is still not recommended to skip classes in large numbers to work.

As time went by, Ye Wenyu studied diligently in the bookstore, learning Japanese and French on her own. Although she skipped classes in the afternoon, she became self-taught with the help of her classmates' notes, so she didn't have to worry too much about her final exam results.

With a translation job, a bookstore job, and a tutoring job, she actually earned over ten thousand yuan a month!
