Dark clouds covered the entire Tianshui city. Suddenly, strong winds blew up. Pedestrians on the street hurried home. Dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, followed by bursts of thunder. The doomsday-like bad weather seemed to destroy the city.

In the dim room, the figure of a girl was looming.

She lay on the bed with her eyelids moving slightly, as if she was fighting a fierce battle with the darkness. After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes. It was a lifeless yet extremely beautiful face. She stared straight at the ceiling, her eyes were empty and blurred without focus.

Perhaps because she had maintained this posture for too long, her body felt a little numb, so she turned over and lay on her side. As she turned over, a sound of metal collision was heard.

A thin iron chain was put around her slender ankles, one end of the chain was at her ankle, and the other end was firmly tied to the foot of the heavy bed. The chain was not big, thin, long and light, but it was enough to imprison her.

In order to prevent her ankles from being worn out and injured, the owner of the chain even thoughtfully made her a soft collar. The collar can be put on her ankles to protect her from being worn out by the chain.

Her eyes began to focus, and through her blurry vision, she saw that the off-white door of the room was not locked at this moment, but was wide open, but at this moment she had completely lost the desire to survive.

The girl's eyes were red and she was grinning. As she laughed, tears began to flow. It was clearly a smile, but it was more sad than crying.

If she had not met Xu Zehao three years ago, would her life be different? Her thoughts became increasingly confused and her eyes gradually became empty.

If time could go back, she would rather starve to death than set foot into the Xu Building, which was where her nightmare began.

Time goes back to three years ago.

"Make way, don't block the way..." A group of bodyguards in suits and ties with serious expressions suddenly appeared in the lobby of Xu Group.

Today, Xu Zehao, the first heir of the Xu family, suddenly parachuted into the Xu Group, which shocked all the senior executives present.

The Tianshui Xu family is the number one family in Tianshui City. Xu Zehao, as the eldest grandson of the Xu family and the only heir of the Xu family, his arrival made the Xu family instantly panic.

The bodyguards shouted loudly to drive away the crowd, then they stood in a neat row, using their bodies to form a human wall to separate a sidewalk.

Manager Gao was in a hurry, jogging with a few of his subordinates, and was about to go downstairs to greet them.

Before anyone got down, the elevator door opened and another group of bodyguards in black filed out, standing on both sides of the elevator with their backs straight and serious faces to greet them.

Upon seeing this, Manager Gao hurriedly stopped, stood at the elevator entrance with his head bowed, waiting for the important person in the passenger elevator to appear.

The passenger elevator slowly ascended, and Manager Gao's heartbeat jumped along with the floor numbers, becoming more and more nervous.

With a ding, the passenger elevator slowly opened.

Four or five people surrounded a young man and walked out of the elevator.

The man has a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows, and eyes as cold as ice. He is wearing a black haute couture suit that sets off his tall and straight body from top to bottom. He exudes a noble and cold aura, giving people a feeling of majesty without even being angry, and he stands out in the crowd.

"Hello, Mr. Xu." Manager Gao was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

The man looked down at him expressionlessly, then picked up the badge on his chest and took a look at it. "Manager Gao?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't know why Mr. Xu came to visit me so suddenly. I'm sorry for not welcoming him in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming him in person." Manager Gao broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would be blamed.

Xu Zehao glanced at the hall expressionlessly, then looked at Manager Gao, and said nonchalantly: "Manager Gao, don't be too nervous, I just suddenly wanted to come and take a look, I'm not here to check your work or fire you.

Manager Gao was stunned for a moment, and instantly panicked when he saw the handsome and stern face in front of him. The man's eyes seemed to be smiling but extremely cold, and there was a threat in his dark eyes.

Xu Zehao stretched out his long legs and walked forward, and the entourage behind him followed him. Suddenly he turned around, and following behind him was Chen Meng from the Human Resources Department. She didn't have time to react and bumped into Xu Zehao, and the stack of job application letters she was holding in front of her chest were knocked off and scattered on the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I... I didn't notice you turned around." Chen Meng was frightened and panicked. While apologizing, he squatted down hurriedly to pick up the job application letters scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, a white and slender hand flashed in front of her eyes. Xu Zehao bent down and picked up a job application letter that had fallen to the ground. He stared at the letter in his hand. The girl in the photo had a beautiful smile, eyes as bright as the sea and stars, long hair draped over her shoulders, and no makeup on. She looked exceptionally beautiful despite her plain face.

He looked at the job application letter in his hand without saying a word. There was no emotion in his deep eyes. Chen Meng looked at him in confusion and asked, "Mr. Xu, is there something wrong with this job application letter?"

"No." Xu Zehao handed the job application letter in his hand back to Chen Meng, then turned around and continued walking towards the meeting room.

Chen Meng looked at Xu Zehao's back in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Manager Gao looked at Xu Zehao's departing back and then at Chen Meng. He then took out the job application letter that Xu Zehao had picked up from her hand and looked at it. After thinking for a moment, he said to Chen Meng, "Notify this girl to come to work. She has been accepted."

After saying this, he trotted to catch up with Xu Zehao, followed his pace, and accompanied him to inspect the company.

In an old residential area, Zhou Yian finished a day of interviews and collapsed on the bed, exhausted.

"An An, how was your interview today?" Mother Zhou just got home from get off work, hung up her bag, and walked to Zhou Yian's room to ask her how the interview went today.

Zhou Yian looked at Zhou's mother's expectant face and said a little disappointedly, "I don't know. She asked me to come back and wait for notification. There are too many people interviewing today. It feels a bit uncertain."

Mother Zhou looked at the lost Zhou Yian and was worried that she would be frustrated, so she patted her shoulder and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. We just graduated. Let's take it slow. There's no rush."

Zhou Yian lay on the bed with his eyes squinting, his mind was blank, and he was in a state of vacant mind. Suddenly, the cell phone beside him rang.

"Hello, hello, are you Miss Zhou Yian?"

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"I'm from the Xu Group's HR department. I'm here to formally inform you that you've been accepted. I hope you'll report to the company tomorrow at 8 o'clock with your personal ID and information. Do you have any questions?"

"Ah, no, no, thank you. I will report to the company on time tomorrow."

"okay bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After Zhou Yian hung up the phone, he thought to himself, this must be a dream. Xu Group called me? I was accepted? I found a job?

She quickly got up and walked to Zhou's mother's bedroom. "Mom, I found a job. The company just called me. I can report for work tomorrow."

"Really? An'an." Zhou's mother was happy and relieved to hear that Zhou Yian had found a job. In the past few months, she saw Zhou Yian running around all day to find a suitable job, and he had lost a lot of weight, which made her feel distressed.

"Yes, the HR department has just notified me to go to work tomorrow."

"Then you should go and rest quickly, and report to the company early tomorrow. It's your first day at work so you can go early." Mother Zhou was relieved to hear the good news, and told Zhou Yian to rest with a pleased look on her face.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yian took the bus to the company. Several other young people were also admitted to Xu's company.

"From now on, your job will be to translate the company's internal documents. I hope you can do a good job and realize greater value for the company and yourself. If you have any questions in the future, you can come directly to the Human Resources Department to find me. My name is Chen Meng." Chen Meng gave Zhou Yian a work ID card and took her to her job after a simple training.

"Welcome new colleagues, hello, my name is Zhang Tao, and you are?"

"My name is Zhou Yian, please take care of me in the future."

"My name is Lin Dan. Please take care of each other from now on."

"My name is Chen Siqi, and I've just been here for a short time. Please take care of me."

"My name is Song Zheyu, and I'm the head of the translation department."

After introducing themselves to each other and Song Zheyu briefly arranged the work tasks, everyone quickly got into work mode and got busy with their own things. The whole office was filled with the sound of fingertips tapping on the keyboard.

In the old house of the Xu family, Xu Zehao and Mr. Xu were having breakfast.

"Zehao, I'm glad you're willing to come back. How are you getting familiar with the company's business recently? You have to work hard. I'm old, and the Xu family will rely on you in the future." Old Man Xu stared at Xu Zehao and smiled kindly.

Xu Zehao slowly put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked up at Old Man Xu, and suddenly sneered contemptuously: "If you hadn't been so cruel at the beginning, maybe it wouldn't be my turn as an unfilial descendant to take over."

"You..." The smile on Mr. Xu's face froze suddenly. He was a little furious, but looked at him helplessly. In the end, he said nothing, sighed, and closed his eyes.

Xu Zehao looked at Mr. Xu, stood up and left, with a look of disdain on his face and an aura of indifference around him. He left behind only a firm back as he disappeared outside the gate of the Xu family.

"Master, the young master is still young and ignorant, you..." the butler next to him said softly.

"It's okay, let him be. This is all the sin I committed in the past." Old Master Xu said helplessly as he watched his departing back.

It was evening and time to get off work, and everyone in the translation department of Xu Group was chatting.

"Let's go out for dinner together tonight and then sing a song to simply welcome our two new colleagues Yian and Siqi. What do you think?" Zhang Tao said as he looked at Zhou Yian and Chen Siqi.

"Sure. I can do anything. I'll follow Brother Tao's arrangements." Chen Siqi said with a smile.

"Ah, thank you for not being able to drink, and I can't go back too late." Zhou Yian said apologetically.

"What's the matter? Is it because you have a boyfriend at home and won't let you go out to play?" Lin Dan teased Zhou Yian with a smirk on his face.

"No, no, I don't have a boyfriend yet. My mother is waiting for me at home." Zhou Yian explained anxiously with a flushed face.

"No way, Yian, you've already graduated from college, and your mother is still so strict. How can you find a boyfriend? A high-quality guy like me asks you out, but you don't even give me a chance?" Zhang Tao couldn't help teasing Zhou Yian when he saw how nervous he was.

"Zhang Tao, do you still have any shame? How could Yi An be interested in you when she is so young and beautiful? You are a toad wanting to eat swan meat, it's wishful thinking." Lin Dan usually has a good relationship with Zhang Tao. The two of them often bicker with each other and are a pair of happy enemies.

"No, Lin Dan, I admit that you said Yi'an is a white swan, but you can't say I'm a toad. Have you ever seen a toad as handsome, suave and charming as me?" Zhang Tao argued with a look of dissatisfaction.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of Zhou Yian, Song Zheyu kindly came to her rescue, "Okay, since Yian is not free, we'll make an appointment next time. And don't make fun of the girl. After get off work, go home and see your mothers."

"Okay, the boss has spoken, so let's go. It's time to get off work." Lin Dan said as he picked up his bag and left.

"Okay, let's meet again when we're free. Bye." Zhang Tao also got up and left

"Bye, Boss, Brother Tao, Sister Dan, Siqi." Zhou Yian said and started packing up to get off work. This new job is very easy, and her colleagues are very approachable. She likes and is very satisfied with this job.
