Yan Xixi raised her eyes in surprise and met Yan Chaochao's eyes.

In those clear eyes, Yan Xixi could not see a trace of ambition, and they were as calm as the surface of a lake.

Just when Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan were talking, Yan Chaochao had already quickly finished reading the document.

This is a very generous document, with equity, dividends, real estate... densely packed across two full pages. As long as the Yan Group is still alive, the money Yan Chaochao receives every year while lying at home will be enough for her to live a comfortable life.

On another document was a schedule that made Yan Chaochao's scalp tingle. From 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., a full load of study every day, taught individually by the world's top teachers, for two full years.

In the end times, even as a person with special abilities, she must constantly kill monsters to gain points so that she can obtain the points needed to survive in the base.

To put it another way in this era, it is the endless "007".

When a person who has been oppressed by an unreasonable overtime system for a long time encounters an opportunity to enjoy life without having to work, what choice will she make?

Yan Chaochao made the decision without any hesitation.

What is overtime?

It doesn't exist!

When they heard Yan Chaochao's choice, Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan also showed surprise on their faces.

Although plan one can indeed provide a worry-free life, there is still a huge difference between being a manager who holds the power of the company and lying at home with some equity and dividends.

Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan thought that Yan Chaochao might choose option 2 and might hesitate, but they never thought that Yan Chaochao would so decisively reject the temptation of the management company.

"Chao Chao, are you sure?" Yan Hongzhuo couldn't help but ask, confirming again, "You can think about it again. If you refuse this time, it will be more difficult for you to join the company again in the future. After all, this is..."

Under the gaze of the three people, Yan Chaozhao just smiled slightly: "I don't care about these things. The management of the company should be handed over to professionals."

Having said that, Yan Chaochao paused, his eyes passing through Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan, landing on Yan Xixi, who was looking surprised behind them: "Xixi did very well, didn't you?"

Just now, Yan Chaochao had figured out the key equation—

Yan Xixi has strong management skills = she can manage the Yan Group well = Yan Group develops well = gets more money = easy win

At this moment, Yan Chaochao looked at Yan Xixi with eyes full of sincere praise, as if he saw the walking God of Wealth.

Facing Yan Chaochao's bright eyes, Yan Xixi, who had always remained calm in the face of all kinds of monsters and demons in the group, was now unusually at a loss.

Having grown up in the Yan family and joined the Yan Group after skipping grades and getting a degree, Yan Xixi has met all kinds of people in the business world and can easily feel the sincerity in Yan Chaochao's tone when he said this.

Before today, Yan Xixi never thought that there was anyone in this world who would refuse to take charge of the Yan Group.

Only a fool would refuse the opportunity to be at the helm of a listed group.

But Yan Chaochao refused.

For a moment, Yan Xixi looked at Yan Chaochao with eyes full of emotion and surprise.

Seeing Yan Chaochao's reaction, and remembering the "Yan Chaochao" who tried to snatch management rights from her in her dream, Yan Xixi couldn't help but clench her fists silently.

If Yan Xixi originally had only 1% doubt in her heart, after seeing Yan Chaochao's reaction, this doubt had risen to 99%.

Yan Chaochao was able to refuse the opportunity right in front of her, so how could she become the person in the dream who would do anything to fight for the management rights of Yan Group?

What made Yan Chaochao go from being a non-confrontational person to competing with her for management rights in the dream, besides Cheng Aotian, was probably also due to the instigation of "certain people".

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Yan Xixi's eyes.

Don't let her catch those people!

***

In the villa area, all news spreads quickly.

Whether it was the Yan couple who were supposed to be in other cities and suddenly rushed back, or Yan Xixi who had already joined the Yan Group, she suddenly put down her work and rushed to the hospital.

All these unusual clues made everyone in the villa area smell the scent of melon.

Even though the Yan family has tried to keep a low profile, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the truth of the matter still reached the ears of those who were interested.

But no one expected that this time they would get such a shocking melon!

The Yan family took the wrong child?!

Yan Xixi wasn't the real daughter of the Yan family, but rather a fake who had usurped the throne? She had lived a life of luxury in the Yan family for over twenty years?

The real daughter of the Yan family was left alone and grew up in an orphanage. No one loved her and she was only found recently?

When the melon fell down, everyone in the villa area was stunned!

"Have you heard about the Yan family incident?"

"I heard that. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?"

"What kind of a thing is this... After carefully raising a daughter until she's in her twenties, it turns out she's not her biological daughter. How devastated must these parents be?"

"Oh, just thinking about this happening to me makes me feel heartache... I wonder how hard it must be for Mr. and Mrs. Yan right now..."

"The real one is back, what about the fake one? Should we send it away?"

"No, a few days ago, Old Zhao next door saw the fake one walking into the Yan family."

"Are you just unwilling to leave?"

…

Not only the people in the villa area received the news, but also the relatives of the Yan family.

"Yan Hongzhuo took the wrong child?"

Uncle Yan received the news as soon as he returned home.

The second branch has also won many projects over the years thanks to its relationship with Yan Hongzhuo, but compared with the Yan Group, these are just a drop in the bucket.

Yan Guolun put down his briefcase, sat on the sofa and twisted his wrist. When he heard the news, he raised his head and asked, "What's the reaction over there now?"

"Who knows what those two people are thinking. If you ask me, even if it weren't for this incident, Yan Xixi shouldn't have joined the company. Women should just get married honestly. It would be great if our Ah Shun could join the Yan Group..." Yan's Second Aunt muttered to this point, and finally revealed a gloating smile, "But this time, she should be kicked out."

Yan Guolun showed a thoughtful expression: "Go and help me find out what this biological daughter that Yan Hongzhuo took back is like."

It wasn't just Yan Guolun's family; countless people stayed awake that night.

"That little girl Yan Xixi has become increasingly stubborn these past few years!"

"Back then, they were desperate and tried every possible means to allow a woman like Yan Xixi to join the company..."

"This time their biological daughter is back, maybe..."

As night falls, the thoughts of countless people surge in the darkness.

***

Although Yan Hongzhuo took over the Yan's Group from his family, it was the hard work of Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan that transformed it from an ordinary small enterprise into the current Yan's Group.

Now that they have found their biological daughter, Yan Hongzhuo and Pei Lan decided to find a formal public occasion to formally introduce Yan Chaochao to their relatives and friends.

On the day of the dinner, Yan Xixi stood in the corridor, raising and lowering her hands several times, and finally sighed silently and prepared to leave.

Just as Yan Xixi turned around, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Yan Xixi was caught off guard and met Yan Chaochao face to face.

From the time she returned to the Yan family until now, Yan Chaochao hadn't resisted at all...

Became a salted fish.

In this brand new world, she doesn't have to get up early every morning to fight monsters, doesn't have to chew on hard bread, and doesn't have to face the intrigues in the base.

These days, Yan Chaochao has hardly ever stepped out of the room. The triangle of "eating, sleeping, and playing" has become the absolute center of her life.

If Yan Chaochao knew that life after traveling through time would be so happy, he would definitely let himself be caught and killed by monsters.

Yan Chaozhao looked at Yan Xixi, as if he was looking at his mobile wallet, and even his tone softened a lot: "Good morning."

Yan Xixi turned her head and looked at the sun that was already hanging high in the center. She was speechless for a moment and could only respond dryly: "...Good morning."

"What's up?"

Although he had traveled through time and his body was different, for some unknown reason, some of his abilities from the apocalypse seemed to have been brought to this world along with Yan Chaochao's travel.

Ten minutes ago, Yan Chaochao had heard Yan Xixi's breathing at the door.

However, she waited in the room for a full 10 minutes, but Yan Xixi didn't knock on the door. When she noticed that Yan Xixi was about to leave, Yan Chaochao "happened" to open the door.

After hearing Yan Chaochao's words, Yan Xixi remembered her original consideration: "Today's dinner is your first official appearance in front of everyone, you must dress formally..."

As she spoke, Yan Xixi's gaze fell on Yan Chaochao's pajamas.

Every cute little bear head on her pink pajamas seemed to be laughing at her.

Yan Xixi paused, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If you don't mind, can you let me see the clothes you prepared for tonight? If you don't think..."

"Sure." Yan Chaochao interrupted her and turned to walk into the room.

Yan Xixi followed Yan Chaochao into the room. When she saw Yan Chaochao opening the wardrobe and saw the darkness inside, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat and she had a bad premonition.

When Yan Xixi saw the clothes Yan Chaochao took out from the closet, her eyes went dark.

——both physically and psychologically

How should I describe the clothes Yan Chaochao prepared...

Except in exhibitions of abstract artists, Yan Xixi rarely sees such avant-garde and imaginative colors.

There is yellow in the blue, purple in the green, and even different lusters as the light moves, but in the end, all these colors will return to a unified black. To sum it up in one sentence:

Colorful black.

Yan Xixi couldn't imagine where Yan Chaochao had found this "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" from.

The perpetrator of this artistic disaster seemed completely oblivious to the collapse of Yan Xixi's inner world, and smiled at her: "How about this dress? It's not bad, is it?"

Yan Xixi closed her eyes and took several deep breaths before she could barely control her emotions and not snatch the black suit from Yan Chaochao's hand and throw it into the trash can.

After more than ten seconds, Yan Xixi finally calmed down and opened her eyes. She gave Yan Chaozhao a fake smile and said, "Put down the clothes in your hand."

"Come with me."

"I will make you the absolute center of attention at tonight's dinner."

***

As night fell, amid the undercurrent of people's hearts, countless vehicles drove towards the Yan family villa in the dark.

Before the dinner started, relatives, friends of the Yan couple, and some people who had connections with them in other fields had already arrived at the scene.

The fact that the Yan family had taken the wrong child was no longer a secret in the circle, and everyone present knew it well. This party was nominally a dinner party, but in fact it was an introduction meeting specially held for the Yan family's biological daughter.

On the surface, the scene seemed joyful, but if you listened carefully to what they were whispering, it wasn't so pleasant.

"They say Old Yan has never lost money in business, but I feel like he's made a loss this time. Although the one he brought back is his biological daughter, the other family's conditions are said to be poor. How can a child raised in such an environment compare to Yan Xixi, who they carefully raised?"

"Have you heard? The biological daughter that Yan Hongzhuo took back is just an 18th-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry. She had poor grades and dropped out of high school to enter the entertainment industry."

"Is this true? Old Yan is at a huge loss this time!"

"In the entertainment industry? I don't know how many times she's had plastic surgery. Her face might even be stiff..."

After talking about this, the people around looked at each other silently, and almost at the same time raised the wine glasses in their hands to hide the smiles that could not be suppressed on their lips.

At this moment, the crowd who were whispering seemed to have seen something, and suddenly they became quiet one after another.

"What's wrong..." Someone asked the person next to him, but the person just raised his chin and pointed in a direction.

On the stairs, a girl in a burgundy fishtail dress lowered her head slightly, her high heels making no sound as they stepped on the steps. When she turned from the side of the stairs, her face revealed to everyone attending the dinner, many of them couldn't help but clench their goblets.

Stunning.

This is the first thought that flashes through many people's minds.

Then, when they saw Yan Xixi walking out from behind the girl, they realized her identity belatedly.

Is this the Yan family's biological daughter they were just discussing, the one who "had countless plastic surgeries," "had a stiff face," and was "a top-tier actress"?!
