My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

The desire to become more beautiful rekindled in Pearl's heart.

"Of course, what girl doesn't want to become more beautiful? That's normal, isn't it?" Pearl said casually.

"I've come here to tell you how I became beautiful. If you master this method, you can become beautiful too."

Pearl's heart pounded faster and faster, and her gaze toward the other person grew increasingly intense.

Finally, Pearl eagerly grabbed the little hand: "Tell me your secret to becoming beautiful! I'll agree to any condition as long as you can help me become beautiful!"

Having worked in the workforce for several years, Pearl knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. Therefore, after the other party mysteriously revealed this meaning, she naturally expressed her willingness to pay any price.

She had truly had enough of the discrimination she faced because of her appearance.

"Really?" Xiao Xiao pretended not to believe it.

"Of course it's true! I always keep my word. We've been best friends for so long, don't you know me?"

Pearl asked anxiously. The opportunity to become beautiful was right in front of her; she had to seize it no matter what. This was a turning point that would change her life; she had to grasp it firmly!

"That's true. I know what kind of person you are. Since you're so sincere, I'll tell you my secret to becoming beautiful..."

Xiao Xiao beckoned to her with her finger. Su Zhenzhu leaned closer and listened to what the other person had to say. Her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

"Is this...is this real? It only requires such a small price to pay?" Su Zhenzhu asked as if she were dreaming.

"Of course it's true! I'm right here in front of you, don't you believe me?"

Pearl certainly believed it, because the reality was right before her eyes.

"If I just offer up one of my three souls and seven spirits, I can become beautiful? And there are absolutely no side effects..." Su Zhenzhu muttered to herself, her eyes burning with desire as she looked at the other person.

"I want...I want to be beautiful! I'm willing to pay the price! Can you make me beautiful?"

Pearl eagerly grasped her small hand, her face pleading.

"Of course. But let me make this clear first, don't be surprised, and don't tell anyone about this. First, you have to quit your job, and then stay home these days. Once you've become more beautiful, keep a low profile, and it would be best to move out of here immediately. Can you do that?"

Little Xiaoxiao was tempting her like a devil.

These are not problems. After moving away, she will rent out the house her parents left her and then move to another city. Pearl has long hated this place—the people here see her as ugly, but are actually very indifferent to her.

There was absolutely nothing to miss, and Mika didn't seem to be in any distress.

"I can do it!"

In the distance, an employee who was carrying out a listening mission in the department noticed the unusual conversation of a person being monitored and immediately reported the situation to his superior.

After receiving a reminder from his subordinate, Lao Zhang immediately shared the wiretapped content with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao originally thought it might take a few days, but he didn't expect to get results so quickly.

He turned on his phone and heard the eavesdropping conversation coming from it.

Li Zixuan, who was standing next to her, recognized the voice almost immediately as Xiao Xiao's.

It's that despicable woman again! How dare she seduce others! And this woman may very well have become that monster's subordinate, helping him choose his prey!
She deserves to die; she actually committed a crime for the sake of beauty.

Is beauty really that important to a woman? Confused, Li Zixuan asked Zhang Hao speechlessly, "It must be... to survive, to maintain her beauty, that woman chose to become an accomplice of the monster. Mr. Zhang, what should we do next?"

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and calmly said, "We can give this Ms. Pearl a heads-up first. If she remains obstinate, then we don't need to communicate with her. We just need to keep an eye on her and wait for the monster to appear and collect its reward before making our move. This time, we must take care of that faceless monster."

To prevent a repeat of what happened last time, they must be even more careful this time.

Li Zixuan understood, so he communicated with Lao Zhang and asked him to pay close attention to this Ms. Pearl, and also sent her a special message on the anti-fraud APP.

After making all the necessary arrangements, Zhang Hao began to conceal himself and patrol around Su Zhenzhu.

Everything around seemed normal, and even the unusual yin energy hadn't intensified.

It seems that the monster has indeed never been here before, and its contact with Su Zhenzhu was only minor. The monster is now acting with even greater caution than before.

To catch such a monster, I must be even more meticulous than before.

We must lay a tight net to capture that monster.

Only then can they be apprehended and brought to justice within the stipulated time to prove their innocence.

Zhang Hao recalled the various ways his opponent had escaped during their previous encounters, and he knew he had to come up with some countermeasures to prevent his opponent from escaping.

On this day, Su Zhenzhu, who was preparing to resign from the company, was called into the HR office ahead of time.

"I know you work very hard and are quite capable. But the company is currently undergoing industrial restructuring and upgrading, which involves laying off redundant staff. I'm very sorry, but you are one of those being laid off, Su Zhenzhu. The company hopes you will resign voluntarily... Do you understand what I mean?"

If a company resigns voluntarily, it doesn't have to pay severance pay, which saves the company money.

But such a move undoubtedly made Su Zhenzhu, who was preparing to resign, extremely angry.

That's it again!

Even though my work skills are better than my colleagues who joined at the same time, I'm always the one who gets fired! Isn't it just because I'm ugly and overweight that I'm always disliked?

Su Zhenzhu clenched her fists and asked with an embarrassed expression, "I...can I ask, is it because you think I'm ugly that you want to fire me?"

"As far as I remember, Anna, who joined the company at the same time as me, was pretty, but her work ability was far worse than mine. She even made several mistakes. Why wasn't she fired?"

The HR manager frowned, clearly displeased with the question.

"The decision to dismiss anyone is made after careful consideration, not just based on appearance. Looks are a plus, not a deciding factor. We are purely discussing the facts."

The HR manager spoke in a grand and dignified manner, but Su Zhenzhu knew perfectly well what was really going on.

"I understand."

Filled with rage, Su Zhenzhu almost bit her lip until it bled. She suppressed her anger and handed over the resignation letter she had prepared beforehand.

Seeing how sensible she was, the HR manager felt a little guilty.

As Su Zhenzhu was leaving, she happened to run into Anna outside the office.

Anna was walking side by side with the team leader, chatting and laughing, and every now and then she would playfully pat the back of the team leader's hand.

The team leader didn't shy away from it, smiling as he pinched her cheek. (End of Chapter)
