The Abused Novel Heroine Became a Clingy Sweetheart [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 12

Since You Aofeng’s car accident, the You family’s business had plummeted.

Adding insult to injury, the You family’s rivals in the commercial world began taking advantage of the situation to aggressively suppress the You Group.

Even worse, they had openly started poaching senior company executives.

And even within the You Group itself, there were faint undercurrents of unrest.

If You Aofeng were to become disabled, his father, as the largest shareholder, would have no successor.

You’s father was still mentally sharp, but he was getting on in years, and no one could predict what he would be like in a few years.

A group cannot be without a leader, so the safest option was to find another “dragon.”

Facing such a dilemma with attacks from all sides, panic spread throughout the company, causing quite a few people to resign.

It was under these circumstances that You Ting, with steady steps, walked into the main entrance of the You Group.

This time, the receptionist girl was quick on the uptake and rushed over, “Miss You!”

You Ting nodded and asked, “Where is the Human Resources Manager’s office?”

To the receptionist’s surprised look, she smiled faintly: “I’m here to start work.”

You’s father had made arrangements in advance as promised, so You Ting’s onboarding process was very quick.

He needed You Ting, but at the same time, he did not want her to wield too much power.

Therefore, You’s father, in a state of contradiction, only assigned You Ting the position of Department Supervisor.

It wasn’t exactly a low position, but to say it was high, it certainly wasn’t.

You Ting didn’t mind; she had anticipated this and lowered her head with a contemptuous smirk.

She followed the guide to the office arranged for her.

Perhaps it was quickly prepared for her, as the room wasn’t large—a desk, a chair, and a rudimentary small sofa and coffee table were barely enough for guests, yet it was bright and clean.

The guide looked awkward: “Miss You… no, Manager You.”

“I apologize, the walls of the previous manager’s office were damaged and are still under renovation, so I can only ask you to temporarily condescend to work here.”

You Ting looked at him, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

She said, “Okay.”

She knew in her heart that this was merely a warning from her father, a power play, and there was no need to make things difficult for these subordinates.

The guide was a little surprised that the legendary eldest Miss You was so easy to deal with, then saw the woman casually pick up the decorative potted plant on the desk to examine it.

The small flower pot was shaped like a crystal ball; the transparent material reflected the light, casting shadows of varying depths onto her fingertips and the back of her hand.

You Ting looked down, her gaze fixed on the tiny flower bud that had bloomed on the green plant.

She said softly, “I won’t be staying here long anyway.”

On her first day of work, You Ting’s job was very leisurely; no one came to bother her.

Her father’s intention was merely to have her stabilize the morale within the company; he had no plans to let her enter the management level directly.

She sat in the office, opened her computer, and briefly browsed the company’s intranet.

Then, she idly scrolled through her phone, as the daylight outside the window transitioned from bright to gradually dim.

The moment the time hit 5:00 PM, You Ting decisively picked up her employee card and swiped it at the time clock.

Clocked out.

Only after seeing her drive away from the company did the employees dare to talk quietly amongst themselves.

“Leaving right on time, I’m so envious, truly the big Miss!”

“I genuinely thought she was here to snatch the successor’s position, but now it seems she’s just putting on a show.”

“That’s normal, isn’t it? Young Master You used to handle all the affairs; when have we ever seen the big Miss interfere with any of this?”

You Ting’s performance that day was quickly and meticulously reported to her father’s desk.

This included how many times she went to the restroom and how many times she reapplied her lipstick.

As You’s father read, his brow furrowed tightly.

He couldn’t figure it out.

You Ting had tried every possible way to get into the company, only to be content with a nominal, idle position?

Could it be that he had overthought things, and this unfilial daughter was still the fool she used to be?

Yet, he felt something wasn’t quite right, but no matter what, You Ting being so well-behaved right now was a good thing for him.

Once this period passed and You Aofeng’s condition stabilized, You’s father planned to have You Aofeng return to take over the company.

As for You Ting, she would, of course, be kicked out.

You Ting returned home, and sure enough, the little rabbit was still squatting at the door, waiting for her.

She parked the car, opened the door, and stepped out.

“I told you to eat first if you were hungry; you don’t need to wait for me.”

Bai Nianzhao shook her head, “I’m not hungry.”

“And,” her eyes curved slightly, “I wanted to wait for you, Sister.”

Freed from the constraints of the Bai family, Bai Nianzhao had become more at ease, no longer as timid as she was in the beginning.

After dinner, she picked up a registration form to show You Ting.

“Sister, I want to attend this training class.”

It was a registration form for a training institution related to the adult college entrance exam, and Bai Nianzhao had carefully filled out all her information.

It seemed the little rabbit wasn’t just talking.

You Ting asked the butler nearby, “Uncle Mo, did you find this institution?”

Uncle Mo, a kind elderly man, smiled and nodded: “Yes, Miss. Don’t worry, Miss, I went to check it out in person and even asked many students, there’s definitely no problem.”

Uncle Mo was someone You Ting had personally selected and hired, and she trusted him.

She looked up, just watching Bai Nianzhao and asked, “Are you sure?”

Bai Nianzhao nodded with certainty.

Although she didn’t go out, she knew about the rumors swirling regarding the You family.

She knew about the potential conflict that could erupt between You Ting and the You family.

Therefore, Bai Nianzhao did not want to become a burden to her sister.

She wanted to be a better person.

To be someone worthy of standing by her sister’s side.

“Then go.”

You Ting then said, “When you go tomorrow, send me a copy of your class schedule. I’ll pick you up after class.”

Bai Nianzhao quickly said, “I can take the bus myself.”

“Don’t worry, Miss,” Uncle Mo said, “I can find another competent driver to take and pick up Miss Bai.”

You Ting smiled: “It’s fine, I’m very idle anyway.”

She thought it was quite nice to get paid by her father while doing nothing all day.

Bai Nianzhao blinked in confusion but finally nodded obediently.

Before falling asleep, she was still unable to suppress a little excitement.

The sun sets and rises again; starting tomorrow, it will be a new day.

It will also be the first step for Bai Nianzhao toward a brand-new life.

The next day.

You Ting continued to sit idly at the company, while Bai Nianzhao went to the training institution to submit her registration form.

The people here varied in age and dress.

There was a man who looked like an awkward migrant worker, a heavily made-up woman, and a quietly reading older person.

Their gazes towards Bai Nianzhao were filled with curiosity, and perhaps a friendly sense of “kindred spirits.”

Bai Nianzhao smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.

The front desk lady smiled back, saying kindly, “They are all like you, preparing for the adult college entrance examination.”

“Many people don’t understand them, but I think you should understand, Miss Bai.”

“Everyone has the right to choose their own life. It’s never too late to start.”

After registering her information, Bai Nianzhao let out a long sigh of relief and pushed the door open to leave with a light step.

But she didn’t expect to run into someone completely unexpected—

You Aofeng.
