——If you were to encounter such a devastating start while playing the game, Xin Tong would most likely curse and choose "refresh" to restart the game.
Unfortunately, this is her real life.

A pink Lamborghini careened through the city, cutting through the thicket of traffic. The luxury sports car's appearance alone was striking, and its girlish pink color became an incredibly eye-catching splash as it slid through the gray and black traffic.
There is a long strap hanging from the Lamborghini's rearview mirror.
The belt was at least two or three meters long, flying in the wind and making a rustling sound.
On it was a line of large characters written in red on a white background:
——"Congratulations to Fairy Xin Tong for acquiring the Kelly women's clothing line!"
Luxury sports cars paraded through the streets, their belts fluttering in the wind, splashing countless horns and discussions along the way.
"Oh my god, who is that?"
"Lamborghini? Probably some wealthy socialite."
"What the heck is that long thing? It's flying onto my windshield!"
"What's written on it... Shit, it's Xin Tong!"
"Have you heard that He Chuan adopted a son with great fanfare, but Xin Tong found out and ran back to the country to force the emperor to abdicate before he even finished his studies, wanting to fight for the family inheritance!"
"As a result, He Chuan was so annoyed by her that he randomly found the least profitable women's clothing line to test her."
"Kelly? My boss has been keeping an eye on it. No one showed up for the bidding. I heard they've lost almost 1 billion. I guess they'll go bankrupt soon."
"Hahaha! Then Xin Tong is stuck here! If she doesn't succeed, she'll be laughed to death!"
"Nonsense, do you really think she can do it? Everyone knows that He Chuan just found an impossible task to fool her."
"This isn't the only incident that made Xin Tong die of laughter. The whole of Wucheng knows about her previous antics..."
"A few years ago, when Mr. Zhang held his birthday party, she invited a group of ducks to come and do pole dancing, which almost made Mr. Zhang faint from anger."
"The highest record was staying in a private club for 28 days without leaving, and maxing out five of her cards. He Chuan personally went to arrest her, but when he opened the door, he saw more than a dozen naked men surrounding her, biting, biting, biting."
"Do you know the recent popular up-and-coming actor Liang Luoming? He wasn't famous back then, but he was head over heels in love with her. The two of them made vows to be together forever. However, he couldn't change his nature after just a week, and was caught cheating in a nightclub. Liang Luoming was so angry that after the breakup, he focused on his career and even won awards and became an actor."
"And more..."
The Lamborghini stopped with a bang, and the tires made a sharp and harsh sound as they scraped across the ground.
The door opened, and Xin Tong was wearing a bright red backless long dress, her black hair was tied up in an exquisite bun, and her black sunglasses almost covered most of her face.
The sound of her high heels stepping on the ground was crisp and pleasant, and her diamond earrings swayed back and forth as she walked, making her neck look slender and bright.
She just shrugged her shoulders and hunched her collarbone, and walked into the door of Kelly Women's Wear Office Building with a graceful posture, facing the stunned and surprised gazes of countless white-collar workers around her.
"Hi everybody!"
The receptionist thought she was seeing things and stared in amazement at the strange woman, dressed like a star walking on the red carpet, walking towards her step by step.
He took off his sunglasses coquettishly and gave her a twisted wink.
"Hello, baby!"
"Ah, hello."
The girl at the front desk was shocked. She had never seen such a scene before.
"Who are you looking for?"
Her pretty eyebrows raised in confusion, she touched her chin with her fingers and repeated it as if recalling something.
"Oh yeah, who am I looking for?"
"...Then what's your name? I'll register you."
"Everyone's gaze is my stimulant. I am BOOGIE Wang Ziyi."
"Okay, Wang Ziyi."
Seeing that the girl at the front desk was about to type on the computer, Xin Tong held down her fingers and smiled.
"Baby, I'm just kidding."
Xin Tong blew a kiss at her.
"I'm your boss."
The front desk brain crashed for a few seconds.
Finally, seeing this person's unique and exaggerated behavior, I suddenly recalled some wealthy family gossip that I saw on a local marketing account last night.
The face that appeared on the phone in my memory and the face in front of me slowly merged together.
She shuddered and covered her mouth in surprise.
"ah!"
She finally realized that the person standing in front of her was the legendary figure, and immediately stood up trembling.
"Okay! I'll take you up right away!"
Xin Tong was about to turn around and leave in her high heels when the receptionist suddenly called her timidly and pointed at the sunglasses she had casually left on the table.
"Oops, sorry."
Exaggerated English accent and a coquettish voice.
She raised her index finger, pinched the leg of her sunglasses with two fingers, turned her head and smiled at the receptionist with squinted eyes.
Turning around, I caught a glimpse of people gathered around me, all looking at me. They were all Kelly employees, some of whom silently raised their phones, then quickly put them away as if nothing had happened.
The girl at the front desk led the way in small steps. She looked around and said in a low voice:
"Boss, do we need to ask them to delete the photos and videos?"
It's so embarrassing for a celebrity boss to be surrounded by employees like a monkey.
Calling him "boss" made Xin Tong feel relaxed all over.
“No need. Just take any photo.
Xin Tong sighed in frustration.
"Before I left the house today, I repeatedly reminded myself not to be too over the top. I chose a low-key dress, but I didn't expect it to be so eye-catching. What a miscalculation."
"But our company's employees have very good aesthetics and know how to appreciate beautiful things, which is great."
The next second, the receptionist almost tripped over the stairs.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"...No, nothing." The receptionist paused, turned around, and smiled apologetically, "I was so stunned by your beauty that I didn't even see the road clearly."
Xin Tong narrowed her eyes, "What's your name?"
"A lot of money." She answered cautiously.
The elevator reached the top floor with a "ding" sound.
“Nice name.”
Xin Tong waved her finger at her and walked out without looking back.
*
At the top floor of Kelly Women's Wear Company, in the corridor in front of the president's office.
A young woman stood in front of Xin Tong. She was wearing a professional suit and a neat ponytail. A sign on her chest read "President's Secretary."
The secretary looked apologetic and bowed.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Xin. Our president is on leave today and is not in the company."
Xin Tong glanced behind her.
The door of the president's office was closed, but the lights were on, and I could even hear voices and music coming from inside.
It's obvious someone is there. They just don't want to see visitors.
Or rather, I don't want to see her.
"..." Xin Tong and the secretary looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere, and the secretary lowered his head in embarrassment.
Yeah. I expected that.
Kelly's current top executive position, President, is held by He Xiangrong, a distant relative of He Chuan. He Xiangrong is over fifty years old. When Xin Tong was a child, she would occasionally see him during holidays, but she always thought he was decadent and servile. Having reached this age and become a senior executive, He Chuan transferred him to Kelly to serve as President.
The real executive at Kelly is the general manager and CEO. This CEO has gone through three professional managers, but none of them have been able to save the company from years of massive losses. Until now, no one has dared to take over, and the position has remained vacant for a long time.
Xin Tong, the daughter of the chairman of the general group, was parachuted in directly for the position of president and will basically exercise all the powers of He Xiangrong.
So He Xiangrong refused to see him when they met for the first time, which was an obvious show of force.
"He's on leave, what about the others?"
The secretary coughed twice, her face flushed slightly, "Yes, I've also asked for leave."
It is almost impossible for all executives to take leave today.
After she said this, she knew that Xin Tong would not believe this reason, but as a humble worker, she could only repeat it verbatim and had no choice.
She had heard early in the morning that this famous spoiled socialite in Wucheng was going to be fired, and she had already prepared herself for the worst.
But unexpectedly, I didn't hear any sound from the other side for a long time.
She looked up timidly and found the young girl leaning against the window, looking thoughtful.
She is wearing a gorgeous red dress and is looking at the scenery outside the window.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the blue building points to the sky like a sword.
This building is owned by the Morikawa Group and has a fantastic view.
Even though Kelly has drastically cut back on spending, the office building can continue to be used.
"What a nice day!"
The secretary heard Xin Tong sigh.
She didn't dare to say anything, her heart was beating fast. She was just hesitating about how to send the guest away when she suddenly heard:
"Such nice weather is perfect for an exciting Plants vs. Zombies game."
…It wasn’t until the secretary stared at the steam download progress bar on her computer that she realized how ridiculous this scene was.
The eldest daughter was clamoring to play on the computer, so she decided to take her to the public office area on the sixth floor and found an empty seat. When she called the IT staff over to turn on the computer, they were stunned and double-checked whether they wanted to download Plants vs. Zombies.
"I want the genuine version on Steam."
"I'll pay for it."
Who dares not to listen to the boss?
The game download would take a while. Xin Tong stood up, looked around, walked to the door, swung her hips and posed, and shouted to everyone present:
"Hi everybody!"
No one answered her.
This was the office area on the sixth floor of the office building. It was a large area of workstations, housing several key departments. But Xin Tong noticed something was amiss the moment she entered.
There were many empty workstations, but only a few people were left, sitting scattered around. All of them looked lifeless and sickly, their dark circles and cloudy pupils reflecting resentment towards their jobs.
Many people were playing with their phones and slacking off. Even if they saw Xin Tong coming, they would just glance at her and turn around to continue typing on their phones.
The product quality is poor, the entire branch is not valued by the head office, huge losses have been occurring year after year, various cost-cutting and layoffs have been implemented, and the narrow-minded senior management holds power. No one has any expectations for the new leader who is parachuted in.
This is Kelly's current situation. It's a mess, and it's a good one.
And now this mess has become Xin Tong's only base.
She took a deep breath.
Who said this is a life of collapse?
This is clearly a real-life business simulation game.
——How fun!
On the computer, the game download progress bar has reached 60%.
She suddenly turned to her secretary and asked, "Are you hungry?"
The secretary didn't react. "What?"
Xin Tong snapped his fingers lazily.
"I ordered afternoon tea for you."
At the same time, three cars pulled up downstairs. A few people got out, opened the trunks, and quickly began moving boxes. The elevator went up, and within a few minutes, the door to the sixth-floor office area was knocked open. The tables in the tea room were quickly filled with a dazzling array of food.
The indifferent and lifeless worker at his workstation finally reacted, staring blankly at the steaming food on the table. Soon, someone with a sharp eye noticed: "Oh my god, it's Amber Restaurant!"
Wucheng's famous high-end Western restaurant requires reservations only and is not even open to non-members.
When I looked at the other food packaging, I was even more shocked.
We ordered Amber Restaurant for Western food, Upstairs for Chinese food, and French Memory for dessert—all high-end restaurant delivery. We had three options to choose from, and everyone from the security guards and cleaners at the entrance to the executives in the offices, from the first to the tenth floor, received a portion.
The secretary stared in amazement at the exclamations from employees at other levels in the work group.
The average cost per person for this afternoon tea is almost two thousand!
Xin Tong leaned lazily in the office chair.
She hugged her chest, leaned back, and looked at the employees around her who were shocked and speechless with a smile.
Ten seconds passed. No one moved.
Fifteen seconds passed, and a young girl began to stand up cautiously.
He walked up to Xin Tong, bowed and greeted her, tentatively took a Western meal and a dessert, and happily returned to his workstation to start eating.
With that girl taking the lead, the others finally started to move after observing each other.
Before long, a crowd gradually surrounded the tea room tables. The aroma of steak and petit fours filled the air. Food served as the biggest and most direct icebreaker, and "Thank you, boss" echoed throughout the office.
The secretary was completely stunned.
Before she could recover from the sudden employee benefits, she heard the young lady lazily ask:
"What departments are there on the sixth floor?"
The secretary stood up straight immediately.
"Due to long-term losses, the company has been reducing costs and laying off a large number of employees. Currently, the main departments on the sixth floor include marketing, design and development, and sales..."
Xin Tong interrupted, "Are the managers of these departments here?"
"The marketing manager is on leave today."
Xin Tong laughed, "Is the department manager also asking for leave like President He Xiangrong?"
"No, that manager is on her period today and is really asking for leave."
After blurting out the words, the secretary suddenly realized what he had said.
The department manager really took leave, so could it be that President He Xiangrong was faking his leave?
Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands.
"No, no, I mean..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xin Tong laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
"May I have your name."
The secretary blushed and stood up straight.
"Quan Li."
Xin Tong crossed his legs, looked out the window and sighed.
"It's such nice weather, why are everyone staying in the office to work?"
She pulled out a stack of checkbooks from her bag, raised her index finger, and signed a few words in a flamboyant manner.
Tear it off.
He handed it to Secretary Quan lightly.
"Today is a day off for all company employees. Everyone will receive a 5,000 yuan bonus. I'll pay for it."
