I land a 30-million-dollar deal for my parents' factory. On payday, my older sister, Hailey Irving, receives a 50,000-dollar bonus. Meanwhile, my younger brother, Hanson Irving, gets a 100,000-dollar bonus. But my pay slip shows only one line—Base Salary 3,000 dollars. "Hailey hasn't made a single mistake in the books in ten years. As encouragement, you get a 50,000-dollar bonus." "All the clients praise Hanson for being handsome and charming. He deserves the most credit for landing this big deal, so I'm giving him a 100,000-dollar bonus." Before I can even react, Mom throws 30 crumpled bills at me while saying with disdain, "Someone who's both stupid and ugly needs to work harder. Don't think putting in more effort means you're worth more. That's all the value you create." I stare at my pay slip, feeling dazed. My parents raise us to be independent, so everything in our family comes with a price tag. A plate of steak and fries costs 30 dollars. A ten-minute hot shower costs 50 dollars. To earn money, my siblings and I have to work at our parents' factory from a young age. Hailey is good at math, so she sits in the air-conditioned office writing receipts. Hanson is handsome, so he works as a greeter in the reception room, where snacks are available in unlimited supply. As for me, I was the family’s all-purpose errand runner, forced to fill in wherever help was needed. I unload shipments, sweep floors, and even go out to negotiate business deals. However, all three of us earn the same base salary of 3,000 dollars per month. If I want meat for my meals, I have to work desperately hard and constantly find ways to create more value. But now, I no longer understand what all that hard work is for. I lower my head and take out my phone to search through the spam messages until I find the one offering me a high-paying job.

There was a sharp gasp from the other end of the phone.Mom exclaimed, "What? That's impossible! Do you really make that much?"I let out a cold snort and was about to hang up.But Mom hurriedly said, "No matter how much they're paying you, we're still your family! Can't you give them up and choose us instead? Isn't that what you should do as our daughter?"I almost laughed out loud at her absurdity.How could she have the nerve to say something like that?I had no patience left to listen to her excuses. I simply hung up and blocked all of my family members' numbers.From that moment on, I cut all ties with the family that had done nothing but leech off me.When they couldn't find a way to contact me, they brought the matter to court and had a summons sent to me. They demanded that I pay them 50,000 dollars a month to support my elderly parents.They also demanded that I return to take over their factory and sign a performance-based agreement requiring the factory to earn 500,

Hanson was completely dumbfounded. From his face, it was clear that he was shocked and humiliated.William didn't spare him another glance. He gestured for me to enter the elevator.But Hanson still hadn't given up on his fantasy. He stubbornly stared straight at William and demanded loudly, "I don't get it, Mr. Zahn. Helena is such a plain Jane, and she's not good with words. She's not exactly bright either. Why would you favor and trust a useless person like her?"That was the thing that my parents and Hailey couldn't figure out either. In their narrow-minded view, good looks, smooth talk, and quick wits were the quintessential qualities for getting ahead in the workplace.William didn't answer Hanson's question. Instead, he threw him a technical question."You've been at the factory for almost ten years, so let me ask you this—what are the complete operating parameters for the No. 3 core production machine in your workshop?"The highly technical question caught Hanson off guar

Iris' words stunned them.There was a brief moment of complete silence before Hanson's stubborn excuses cut through.He exclaimed, "I get it now! You must have paid some actors to put on this whole act. What do I have to say to make you understand? You’re so clueless that even your little schemes are pathetic and ridiculous. You wanted so badly to show off in front of us, but what if Mr. Zahn shows up? Won't you just be humiliated?"Even at this point, he was still deceiving himself.Iris sighed helplessly, not even bothering to entertain his ridiculous claims. She stepped aside and gestured respectfully for me to follow. She led me straight toward the private elevator nearby."Ms. Irving, this way, please."The elevators that reached the top floor of this commercial building were reserved exclusively for company executives and major business partners. Ordinary people weren't allowed to use them.The elevator doors slowly opened, and the VIP-only sign was impossible to miss.My
