Rebirth in 90s: Rip Apart the Sacrificial Pawn Script

Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.

Her best friend not only stole the man she...

Chapter 185 Petty Schemes Arise Again

For Yang Yajing, this party was just a formality, a chance to get to know the people.

But she is the main character after all, and cannot leave too early.

After the two farces were over, everyone had a better understanding of what kind of person Yang Yajing was.

Once the scumbags quieted down, the subsequent communication became much smoother.

She also had Secretary Huang record which people left first after the farce, as a way of keeping track of the approximate number of fence-sitters whose stance was not on her side.

As for those who stayed, Yang Yajing would make her own judgment when she talked to them.

Xia Changlong was quickly pulled away by his familiar major clients again. At this moment, Zhao Jie walked over.

"Yang Yajing! Long time no see!" Zhao Jie, a college classmate, was delighted to see Yang Yajing again after two years of graduation. "I didn't expect that you would become a major shareholder in just two years!"

"Isn't that right?" Yang Yajing laughed and joked about herself. "My parents always say I don't save money and love to spend it recklessly. So, I've converted all my assets into shares in the Xia family."

"Ouch!" Zhao Jie shook Yang Yajing's arm. "What's wrong! Our Huaxia Consortium is doing so well. Spending money now means accumulating wealth through dividends later, right? You're one of the top investors in our class!"

"That's true!" Yang Yajing never modestly told her friends. "I heard you finally got an internship at Huaxia?"

"Yes! I'm a third-year graduate student, I'll graduate soon, and I need to do an internship to complete my thesis." Zhao Jie nodded.

"If you get into China, you'll definitely get a high score!" Yang Yajing had a lot of faith in Zhao Jie's expertise.

"Ugh! Let me tell you, the interview was so hard!" Zhao Jie started complaining about his interview experience. Yang Yajing had never experienced anything like it in her life, and she listened intently.

She thought: If I didn't know my identity in this life, I would definitely have gone through such an interview and assessment, right?

"What's your major?" Yang Yajing asked again.

"E-commerce investment sector," Zhao Jie replied. "Recently, there seems to be a trend of blogger videos and such. I think if internet speeds improve, this will definitely become a hit!"

"That's quite visionary!" Yang Yajing nodded. "Would you like me to recommend someone?"

"Who?" Zhao Jie asked curiously.

"Come with me?" Yang Yajing then led Zhao Jie to Quanwukang.

"Quan Wukang, let me introduce you to someone, my college friend, Zhao Jie." Yang Yajing introduced the two, "Zhao Jie is currently researching e-commerce investment. Zhao Jie, this is Quan Wukang, an e-commerce platform celebrity."

"Wow! You're Quan Wukang?" Zhao Jie recognized the name; she knew it from her case studies. "Yang Yajing! Is there anyone else you don't know?"

“We’ve been friends for many years. If you have time, you should also get to know Bian Xiaoming, who works in the courier business. His company is very busy, so he can’t come today,” Yang Yajing said to Zhao Jie with a smile. “E-commerce cannot function without logistics. If you want to invest in e-commerce, logistics is a very important factor to consider.”

"Yang Yajing... Meeting you is like having a cheat code!" Zhao Jie's eyes sparkled.

"Yeah! We all know that if you want to get ahead, you have to stick close to Yang Yajing!" Quan Wukang joked.

"Hug! Hug me tight!" Zhao Jie clenched his fist in a gesture of encouragement.

She's petite with a round face and round features; when she poses like this, she looks incredibly cute.

After leaving Zhao Jie and Quan Wukang to continue their conversation, Yang Yajing returned to Zhou Pengfei's side.

"Aren't you bored?" Yang Yajing asked softly, linking arms with Zhou Pengfei.

"It's not boring when no one's pulling strings, but my smile gets a bit stiff the rest of the time," Zhou Pengfei said, sticking out his tongue slightly.

"How do you not get bored when there's no one to talk to?"

"Don't you know? I like watching people perform opera and imagining it myself," Zhou Pengfei continued whispering.

"Oh! What a pity, I can't take out my sketchbook." Yang Yajing suppressed a laugh.

"Yeah! What a pity!" Zhou Pengfei pointed to a couple in the corner. "That woman is a mature and domineering woman in front of her best friends, but she becomes a weakling when she meets a man."

He pointed to another one: "And that one, I guess he's craving a cigarette but is afraid his wife will dislike him, so he's pretending to smoke by holding up two fingers."

"And what about that one?" Yang Yajing pointed to a sitting woman.

“I guess her dad brought her here. Every time her dad introduces someone to her, she stands up, and then sits down as soon as the person leaves,” Zhou Pengfei chuckled. “I guess she can’t wear high heels.”

"Do you know who she is?" Yang Yajing asked again.

"I don't know, and you know that I don't care about these things," Zhou Pengfei shook his head.

"We need to get to know this person." Yang Yajing's expression showed that she had another mischievous idea.

"What's wrong now?"

“Go help her dismantle her house and get rid of this mess!” Yang Yajing whispered in Zhou Pengfei’s ear. “Her parents aren’t blood relatives, and they’re both weirdos. I bet they brought her here to sell her to a rich man for money.”

"How do you know all this?" Zhou Pengfei glanced at Yang Yajing. "Did you investigate everyone here before you came?"

"Isn't that necessary?" Yang Yajing leaned her face against Zhou Pengfei's shoulder. "After this performance, shall we go home?"

"Sigh! I'll risk my life to accompany this young lady!" Zhou Pengfei shook his head helplessly.

This woman's name is Li Wen. She is 23 years old and will soon graduate from university. She is a top student in the Computer Science Department of Jiaotong University and receives generous scholarships every year.

But she always lived in poverty because of her three vampires who not only didn't contribute a penny to her living expenses but also constantly exploited her.

In her previous life, Yang Yajing had heard gossip about this woman from Yu Yue. It was said that right after graduating from university, her adoptive parents "sold" her to a wealthy businessman in his thirties to be his wife.
