A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

In Beijing's elite circles, the Lin family is a well-known conglomerate, deeply entrenched and deeply rooted.

The Lin family's businesses span healthcare, real estate, and chain hotels, wielding immense power.

As the most favored youngest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yuwei has always gotten whatever she wanted.

With just a word from her, countless people would line up to get things done perfectly for her.

Of course, compared to the Xie family, the Lin family's power is much weaker.

But things changed when she got involved with Xie Qingyang, the only daughter of the Xie family patriarch.

Lin Yuwei did a lot for Xie Qingyang and gained the favor of the eldest daughter of the Xie family, which also elevated her status in the Lin family.

So, on the very day she made those harsh remarks, Lin Yuwei immediately used the Lin family's network of connections to have someone thoroughly investigate Jiang Chu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

In the VIP room of a high-end beauty salon.

Lin Yuwei was lying on the massage bed, enjoying a back massage with essential oils from a top-notch technician.

Her personal assistant stood to the side, respectfully handing her the newly printed investigation report.

Lin Yuwei casually flipped through the book, and after reading only two pages, a cold, extremely contemptuous smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"...These are her parents?"

Although I knew Jiang Chu's family wasn't well-off, I didn't expect them to be this ordinary.

It was written very clearly in that investigation report.

Jiang Chu's parents divorced early on and have both remarried and started new families.

The mother, Chen Qingxue, was a public elementary school teacher, and her remarried husband was a middle school teacher.

The couple had a son and a daughter after their marriage.

Because both husband and wife are teachers, they value their children's education highly and spend all their salaries on their two children.

The various expensive tutoring classes and extracurricular activities left them barely making ends meet each month, forcing them to stretch every penny to their heart's content, leaving them with no time to care about Jiang Chu.

The story of Jiang Chu's father, Jiang Liguo, is even more fascinating.

Jiang Liguo works at a building materials company as a department head. After his divorce, he married a woman ten years his junior.

After he remarried, he had a son, but this younger son was sickly and needed to take medicine and be hospitalized all the time, which cost a lot of money.

Originally, Jiang Liguo would send Jiang Chu living expenses every month because he knew his son was in poor health and wanted his daughter to support him in his old age, so he naturally wanted to maintain the relationship.

Later, he learned that his daughter had a boyfriend and seemed to have some money.

He didn't know exactly how he got rich, but during that time, Jiang Chu stopped asking him for living expenses on time!

When they went home to celebrate his birthday, his wife recognized the bag on Jiang Chu's body and said it was worth more than 10,000 yuan.

Jiang Liguo's monthly salary is about the same amount. Upon hearing this, he immediately glared and demanded that Jiang Chu pay for his brother's medical treatment.

The father and daughter had a big argument and parted on bad terms.

Jiang Liguo also stopped contacting Jiang Chu.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

Lin Yuwei casually tossed the report on the ground, her eyes gleaming with malice.

"That bastard who doesn't even care about his own parents dares to put on airs in front of me?"

"Yes," the assistant chimed in obsequiously, "Miss, these low-level people with no connections can only rely on their looks to fool men—"

Lin Yuwei curled her lip in disdain, her meticulously manicured nails lightly tapping the edge of the massage bed. "Her mother is a public school teacher with a permanent position. It would take some effort to ruin someone like that's job."

Even if it could be done, it would take some time.

Her gaze fell on the report scattered on the ground. "Jiang Liguo's company is a branch of Hengyuan Building Materials..."

Lin Yuwei laughed.

Jiang Liguo is now relying entirely on this salary to pay for his youngest son's medical expenses and keep him alive.

If he not only loses his job but is also blacklisted by the entire industry and can no longer find any way to make a living... then the Jiang family will definitely collapse instantly.

When that time comes, Jiang Liguo, overwhelmed and desperate, will definitely go to the school to cause trouble and force Jiang Chu to get money.

She wanted to see if Jiang Chu would still have the face to live after being drained of his lifeblood and humiliated by his family of origin!

"Hengyuan Building Materials... I remember the CEO of this company is surnamed Zhao, right?"

Lin Yuwei picked up the phone next to her and scrolled through her contacts. "At the party before, this Mr. Zhao followed our eldest brother around like a lapdog for months in order to get the building materials supply rights for several new properties under our Lin family."

The assistant nodded. "Young Miss is wise; he's the one."

Lin Yuwei dialed the number and pressed speakerphone.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged man's voice, extremely enthusiastic and even somewhat flattered, came from the other end of the phone:

"Oh my, Yuwei! What brings you to call Uncle Zhao today? Is there something Chairman Lin has to tell you?"

"Uncle Zhao, what are you saying? Can't I even call to say hello if there's nothing wrong?"

Lin Yuwei switched to a sweet and charming voice, but the arrogance in her tone was still undeniable. "However, I do have a small matter to ask Uncle Zhao for help today."

"You're too kind, niece Yuwei! The Lin family's affairs are my affairs, Zhao's affairs. Just say the word, and as long as it's within your uncle's power, I'll do it without hesitation!"

Mr. Zhao thumped his chest loudly on the other end of the phone.

"It was really just a small favor," Lin Yuwei said casually. "There's a junior manager in your Haicheng branch named Jiang Liguo. He's a man of questionable character and has offended me. Uncle Zhao, you know what I mean, right?"

Mr. Zhao on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment.

But how could a big boss like him possibly remember a tiny, insignificant manager in a branch office?

"Jiang Liguo? Oh... well, I thought it was something important!"

General Manager Zhao didn't care about the life or death of a mere employee and readily agreed.

"He's just a low-level manager in a branch office; firing him is just a matter of a word from me. Don't worry, Yuwei, I'll have HR issue a termination notice immediately and spread the word throughout the industry that no company in Haicheng will dare hire him!"

"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhao. I will definitely mention you to my dad and brother another day."

"Haha, no problem at all!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuwei triumphantly tossed her phone aside and lay back down on the massage bed.

That's what power is.

Jiang Chu, that lowly person, would never understand that crushing her would be as easy as crushing an ant for him.

Two hours later.

Lin Yuwei finished her full spa treatment and changed her clothes feeling refreshed.

She sat on the leather sofa in the VIP lounge, picked up a cup of latte art coffee, and happily took out her phone.

Logically, once General Manager Zhao has accomplished the task, he would definitely call to claim credit as soon as possible.

But after waiting for two hours, my phone remained silent; there wasn't a single message.

"The efficiency is really slow."

Lin Yuwei frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and proactively dialed President Zhao's number.

She couldn't wait to hear about Jiang Liguo's miserable experience of being kicked out of the house.

However, this time, the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

The person who answered the phone wasn't Mr. Zhao's obsequious voice, but a male voice that was extremely businesslike, even somewhat cold:

"Hello, Ms. Lin, my surname is Li, and I'm Mr. Zhao's assistant. How can I help you?"

Lin Yuwei frowned, her tone instantly turning cold: "Why are you the one answering the phone?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lin," Assistant Li said in a calm and respectful voice, "President Zhao is currently attending an extremely important emergency meeting and is unable to take any calls. If you have anything to say, please tell me first, and I will relay it to you later."

Lin Yuwei suppressed her anger. "A meeting? Fine, I'll tell you then. How's the matter I asked your General Manager Zhao to handle two hours ago? Has that Jiang Liguo been fired yet?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Just as Lin Yuwei thought the other party was about to report on the results, Assistant Li said in a calm but perfunctory tone:

"Regarding the personnel change of Mr. Jiang Liguo... Ms. Lin, we are very sorry. We have just verified that Mr. Jiang's performance evaluation has always met the company's standards and he has not violated any company articles of association. In accordance with the Labor Law and our Hengyuan Group's internal compliance requirements, we have no reason or right to dismiss a full-time employee without cause."
