Chapter 6

Author: Royal Moon
The first day of normal commuting, Cindy was a little disappointed. "Sigh! Is that it? Game over just like that?"

I pinched her cheek. "My dear lady, do you really think I came here just to deal with some freeloading colleague?"

Through Summer, I realized there were bigger problems in this company.

The mild-mannered employees were too timid. All it took was a little manipulation from Summer, and they let themselves be taken advantage of. Over time, resentment would build up.

The opportunists, on the other hand, assumed Summer had some connection to the boss and bent over backward to please her.

Neither was good for the company's growth.

If I wanted to take over smoothly, I had to change this toxic atmosphere and root out the parasites.

The real challenge was just beginning.

The HR director was set to retire, and a replacement had to be chosen.

My uncle sent me the list of candidates. "Come on, let's see who you'd pick."

Horace Grant, the current HR manager, was an honest and

    "Summer is definitely getting detained for this.""Not surprising at all. She was always the type to take advantage of others.""But wait… Can they even detain her? She's pregnant."I shot a look at Cindy, who was hiding among the gossiping crowd.She got the message instantly and bellowed, "She's not pregnant at all! It's a scam! She just pretended to be expecting so she could milk the benefits!"The room exploded in chaos.In a dimly lit corner, a greasy-looking man crumbled.It was Summer's pig-like husband.He had come with a bouquet to celebrate his wife's big promotion… only to find out that not only was she not getting a raise, but the baby he had been preparing for did not exist either.As the police escorted Summer out, her husband snapped.He lunged forward, swinging the bouquet straight at her head."Liar! I quit my job to take care of you and the baby! You told me you'd handle our income while I managed the house! I've been doing chores for days because of you!"

    Robert forced a stiff smile, his face unreadable like an old fox."Albert, do you really want me to spell it out?" he said, voice heavy with implication. "We're both veterans in this game. If Mr. Leeds wants things to go this way, then let him. No need to go against him."Albert frowned. "Mr. Leeds? What do you mean?"Irritation flashed across Robert's face. "You finance guys always talk in circles. Didn't you admit to me the other day that Mr. Leeds's niece works at this company?"Albert let out a helpless chuckle. "Yeah, I did. But I never said it was Summer."Robert snapped his head toward the stage, where Summer was about to begin her presentation. She was already drenched in sweat."I… I never said I was related to Mr. Leeds!" she stammered. "I earned my position through my own hard work!"Robert's expression twisted in disbelief. "Then who the hell is Mr. Leeds's niece?"I pushed open the conference room doors and stepped in with a smile. "It's me!"I had just struck a h

    However, Summer's probation period was also up on that same day. She had to present her own performance report too.Seeing that I did not react, she glared at me and ordered, "Send me your report. HR needs to pre-review it."I glanced meaningfully at the shady-looking guy standing beside her.He was someone Summer had pushed into my department a week ago, conveniently scheduled to present his report on the same day as me.All of a sudden, she wanted my report? Her intentions were obvious.I played along and sent it to her on the spot.That evening, an email popped up in my uncle's inbox.It was from Summer.[Subject: Regarding Our Outstanding New Employee][Dear Mr. Leeds,[The Marketing Department's new hire, Darvey Yates, is exceptionally talented. I was really impressed by his report. It shows such deep insight, especially for someone who has only been here a week![I truly believe our company needs more high-quality talent like him, rather than that troublesome, immoral,

    "Summer, buckle up!"…Last night, I remembered Summer was supposedly pregnant. With that, I tagged Cindy in our rant group and told her the plan was off.Annoyed, Cindy had asked why.I sighed and replied, [Unless you can guarantee that after driving at 120 kilometers per hour over bumpy roads, her baby will be completely unharmed.]At that moment, Matilda Moore, who rarely spoke in the group, chimed in, [Wait, are you guys talking about that lady?]She attached a picture.It was Summer.[She's not pregnant at all.]Matilda's family worked in the medical field. Her dad had given her some startup funds to open a medical escort service. To better understand the industry, she personally took on patients to refine the business model.One day, she accepted an appointment to accompany a pregnant woman for a check-up and happened to run into Summer getting a pregnancy test.[She left a deep impression on me. It was the first time I'd ever seen someone who wasn't even sure if they

    [It's your turn to drive me home today. Also, remember to pick me up tomorrow morning and bring me breakfast. A bacon sandwich with two extra eggs.]Not worried about high cholesterol, huh?As soon as she saw I had read the message, she quickly retracted the last three texts.Of course, I had already taken a screenshot and dropped it into our rant group chat.[Any rich kids looking for a job? Playing alone is getting boring. Join me!]My best friend, Cindy Smith, responded almost instantly. [How could I miss out on such a great opportunity? Do you get a referral bonus?][Yep. 50 bucks for an interview, 200 for getting hired.][Deal! We'll split it 50-50. That's enough for a dinner.]I grinned.Cindy did not just have a nice car.She was a race car driver. Since Summer loved hitching rides so much, we would let her have the ride of her life.As expected, five minutes before the end of the workday, Summer's message arrived, [Remember to pack up early and clock out on time.]
