Today is my first day working at Pei's Group.
Looking up at the towering building that seemed to float into the clouds, I took a deep breath and went inside.
Actually, after I went to university, I could have gone to a branch of the Pei Group to familiarize myself with the environment.
However, in order to learn more theoretical knowledge, I chose to stay at school.
The key point is...
Because of geographical differences, the business model of the branch office in the city where my university is located is very different from that of the main company, so there is no need to waste time going there.
I walked into Pei Qing's office, and he seemed very happy to see me.
Despite being nearly 50 years old, time has left no trace on his face.
People who don't know his age would not be surprised to think he is a middle-aged man in his 30s.
I glanced at him curiously, wondering how he managed to keep such a mistress. It was quite impressive.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he placed a letter of appointment in front of me, which I respectfully accepted.
Actually, at times, the relationship between him and me doesn't feel like that of father and daughter; it's more accurate to describe it as that of superior and subordinate.
I've been used to him not being around since I was little. When he does come over, he just says those polite things at the dinner table.
Since Youan was taken away, he doesn't seem to have been home again.
Now I understand my mother's decision back then; it was the right thing for us not to go back to the Pei family with You'an.
Because there was no place for us there. My mother was gentle by nature and not good at scheming and intrigue.
If I go, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
She was afraid I would be mistreated, so she chose to stay in the villa.
That's good, at least everyone is doing pretty well now.
I was quite happy to see the position on the appointment letter.
He's a department head; according to him, he'll adapt for a while first, and then go directly into management.
I don't care about the position or anything, as long as I can pave the way for Youan.
At the beginning, I was full of confidence and had high expectations for my career.
Moreover, thanks to the halo of being Pei Qing's daughter, she didn't encounter any workplace bullying.
He must have given prior notice, because everyone greeted me warmly, like old friends.
However, a few days later, I discovered that everything was different from what I had imagined.
This department is just for show, and I'm just a decorative vase that keeps it going.
They have no real power and no job.
All I can do every day is stare blankly at a computer screen.
At this point, I realized that Pei Qing had no intention of letting me get involved in the Pei Group's real businesses.
But.
Why?
My younger brother will be taking over the Pei Group in the future, so it's normal for me, as his older sister, to come and familiarize myself with the company's operations first.
Perhaps Pei Qing was worried that I would get tired, or perhaps he was afraid that others would overthink things.
I've been thinking about it for a long time but I still don't have an answer.
I'm starting to regret it. I really should have gone to a branch office to familiarize myself with the job when I was in college.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Even if I go to Pei Qing, I'm afraid he won't change my position.
But I still went to his office, unwilling to give up.
The answer was just as I expected.
A barrage of technical jargon was thrown at me, leaving me somewhat bewildered as I left the office.
I stood on the company's rooftop platform, looking down at the ant-like flow of people below, feeling somewhat lost.
From that day on, whenever I'm bored, I sit here and look at the scenery in the distance.
It will be soon.
It will be soon.
Everything will be alright once You'an finishes her college entrance exam.
And so, this place became my secret base.
I would occasionally move chairs, tables, or decorations upstairs.
Every day I just wait like this, waiting for my younger brother to come here one day.
Time passed day by day. My mother asked me how my work at the company was going. I pretended to be very happy and told her that Pei Qing took good care of me and couldn't bear to let me do any work that was too tiring.
The mother was very happy to hear this. In her heart, her son and daughter's happiness was more important than anything else.
But only I know what this means.
Pei Qing never treated me like a real daughter, and I would never have had the chance to get involved in the real Pei family business.
Even someone like Pei Ruxuan, who has always been a playful person since childhood, and whose university education was paid for by Pei Qing to go abroad, has actually managed to enter the management level.
What does this tell us?
Sometimes ability isn't the key; bloodline is more important than anything else.
Bloodline?
Bloodline!
I suddenly realized that You'an and I share the same blood. Since Pei Qing couldn't take a liking to me, then...
What will happen to him?
Could it be that Pei Qing had other motives for raising You'an from a young age?
I was startled by my own thoughts.
I shook my head, quickly banishing all these unrealistic ideas.
No, it won't.
He's Pei Qing's own son, so nothing unexpected will happen.
I called Youan out of concern.
Hearing about his recent situation, I gradually felt relieved. Now is the time to prepare for the college entrance examination, and Pei Qing has hired many famous teachers to tutor him, showing him meticulous care.
I knew he wouldn't lie to me, so I gradually forgot about the idea.
On the day You'an finished his college entrance exam, I left the company very early and stood outside the exam hall waiting for him.
The bell rang, and students poured out.
When I saw that familiar figure, I couldn't help but run over.
