Brilliant Supermarket, Gold and Jewelry Section.

Huang Ran walked up to Wang Cheng with the driving documents in his hand.

He slammed the documents on the counter. "Wang Cheng, you're fired because you didn't work a full month. Brilliant won't pay you."

Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately turned red.

Nearby shop assistants all looked over, then lowered their heads to continue their work, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

"Boss, you must have made a mistake. Wang Cheng is doing a great job." Huang Yueling hurriedly took out the letter of leniency and handed it to him with both hands.

Upon hearing this, all the shop assistants felt a pang of sympathy and secretly cast pitying glances at Huang Yueling.

The boss is a tyrant; no one dares to speak to him like that.

"Hmph!" A hint of helplessness flashed in Huang Ran's eyes as he squinted at the document.

Suddenly, he stared wide-eyed at Huang Yueling.

"Yesterday afternoon, Wang Cheng and I worked hard for a long time and finally got the copy, hehe." Huang Yueling made a silly and cute face.

Huang Ran coughed and stared at Wang Cheng. "I'm firing you from your sales clerk position and appointing you as Manager Huang's assistant. Understand?"

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." Wang Cheng bowed repeatedly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Boss, shouldn't my assistant get a raise?" Huang Yueling asked with a smile.

"Comrade Wang Cheng, go to the finance office and get the document for a 20 yuan raise. Manager Huang, take this necklace to my office." Huang Ran pointed to the gold jewelry counter and turned to go to the office next door.

The air was deathly silent, leaving the shop assistants completely bewildered.

Was that the boss?

"Did he win the lottery today? Why is he so obedient to Manager Huang? This is unusual."

"Could it be that Manager Huang is being kept by her? But that doesn't make sense, the boss is very discreet about his private life!"

Countless similar questions lingered in the minds of the shop assistants.

Huang Yueling blinked and said with a smile, "Don't just stand there, go and apply for a raise."

"Hey!" Wang Cheng hurriedly left the counter and strode to the finance department.

His emotions were like a rollercoaster just now, and he was almost scared to death.

"I am now 100% certain that Huang Yueling is Huang Ran's illegitimate daughter. The father and daughter's noses and mouths are too similar, Wang Peng..."

"Wang Peng is so smart, he must have already discovered this secret, so why is he helping me?"

"I don't believe he'll help me, so what does he want to do with me?"

Wang Cheng passed by the dressing mirror and stared at himself in the mirror.

After a long while, he gently shook his head and walked up the stairs to the finance department on the fifth floor.

Unable to understand Wang Cheng's conspiracy, he simply stopped thinking about it and silently devised his own plan to "turn the tables."

He would stop at nothing to pursue Huang Yueling, believing that as long as he married her and had a son or daughter, he would never lack money in this life.

Huang Yueling opened the counter, took out a gold necklace worth four thousand yuan, and left the counter to go to the boss's office.

The shop assistants hurriedly discussed in hushed tones, gathering in small groups.

Opposite the jewelry section is the watch section. Saleswoman Xu Lili listens quietly to her colleagues' discussions, filtering out useful information and memorizing it.

In the boss's office, Huang Yueling sat on Huang Ran's lap, hugging his neck, and asked, "Dad, am I capable?"

"You're so capable, you've exceeded my expectations." Huang Ran tapped her nose, his eyes full of affection.

He's becoming increasingly inadequate in that area, his wife's son is a spoiled brat, and his mistress's daughter is too kind.

"Sigh—" Huang Ran sighed deeply and said softly, "Niu Niu, Wang Peng has a bad temper and is very stubborn. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, Wang Peng and his girlfriend are both very nice, and they speak very sweetly." Huang Yueling shook her head. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Explain what happened clearly, the more detailed the better," Huang Ran said, adopting an attitude of being all ears.

Huang Yueling got off her father's lap and began to recount her conversation with Wang Peng.

After a long pause, she asked, "Dad, isn't Wang Peng very kind?"

Huang Ran gave a wry smile, got off the sofa, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

He never expected that Wang Peng's girlfriend was a comic book artist, and he never expected that Wang Peng would love his girlfriend so much.

In order to help his girlfriend publish her comics, he was willing to abandon his principle of "no forgiveness without 10,000 yuan".

"It's good that there's a weakness," Huang Ran said.

Huang Yueling sat quietly; this was her father's way of thinking.

If someone is walking around and occasionally says something, you should never disturb them.

Huang Ran continued walking around the office. "Snake already knows Niu Niu's identity."

The father and son have such similar facial features that anyone who pays attention will notice.

Huang Ran's wife also knew about Huang Yueling's existence, and Huang Ran wasn't afraid of others finding out.

"A snake trying to swallow an elephant, how ambitious," Huang Ran sneered, continuing to stroll around the office.

At this point, Huang Yue understood that the snake was Wang Peng.

She gently shook her head, recalling the details of her conversation with Wang Peng, and always felt that he was not a snake, but a kind older brother from the Lin family.

An older brother who is attentive, considerate, and patient.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. "The elephant is Dad? What does his tobacco and liquor store have to compete with Brilliant?"

“He’s a snake with principles, and people with principles aren’t scary.” Huang Ran stood next to the mirror and saw the woman looking at her.

"Niu Niu, come to Daddy." Huang Ran smiled gently and took out a gold necklace from his suit pocket.

"Hehe." Huang Yueling ran to the mirror and looked at her father in the mirror with a smile.

Huang Ran carefully put the gold necklace on her daughter's finger. "Niu Niu, this is a reward for you. Do you like it?"

“I like it. I like anything my dad gives me.” Huang Yueling nodded repeatedly, admiring the gold necklace in the mirror.
