My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

If Jiang Shutong knew Pei Yichen's true identity, she definitely wouldn't leave him no matter what.

However, the entire Pei family kept Pei Yichen's identity a complete secret, and Pei Zhengping even lowered his status by playing the role of a migrant worker.

Now that Pei Yichen has suddenly become paralyzed, even a couple with feelings for each other cannot withstand such a big change and setback, not to mention that Pei Yichen and Jiang Shutong only met through a blind date and had a whirlwind marriage.

Seeing her father's somewhat firm attitude, Wen Luoyao pouted and tugged at Wen Cheng'an's hand, saying coquettishly, "Even if Brother Yichen gets divorced, I don't want to marry him. I don't think I really like him that much, and he keeps emphasizing that it's Sister Qinghe who's engaged to him, not me. I don't want to keep trying to win him over..."

Seeing this, Ni Huifang patted her daughter's hand, "Alright, alright, our Yaoyao is so pretty and cute, she could have any man she wanted. As for you and Yichen, just let things take their course. After all, forced relationships are never sweet..."

After she finished speaking, she glared at her husband again, and Wen Cheng'an immediately choked on the words he was about to say in rebuttal.

Jiang Shutong took a day off and returned to work as usual the next day.

As soon as she stepped into the executive department's office, she found that her workstation had been emptied.

Did she get fired before she even resigned?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when her colleague told her that she had been transferred back to the planning department, so her things had been packed up and sent there in advance.

Actually, even after she was transferred to the execution department, she was still working on the projects she had planned before.

It was only a matter of time before I was transferred back, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Jiang Shutong took the elevator back to the planning department.

She was surrounded by people as soon as she entered the office.

"Shu Tong, so it turns out you wrote that proposal for Boyu! That's amazing!"

"Yeah, I was wondering how Bai Ruwei could write such a good proposal. Turns out she shamelessly stole yours..."

"Shu Tong, you truly deserve to be the head of our planning department! You've made us so proud!"

Looking at these colleagues who had been fawning over Bai Ruwei, Jiang Shutong chuckled, "Don't say that. If you used your flattery skills on your work, you could write good proposals too."

Everyone's faces immediately turned ashen, as if they had swallowed a fly.

Jiang Shutong gently pushed through the crowd and returned to her workstation.

She turned on her computer, quickly typed out her resignation letter, and then sent it to Sun Yuanjing and the human resources department.

The report had just been successfully sent when a colleague called her, "Shu Tong, Manager Sun wants you to go to his office."

Jiang Shutong knocked on the door of the planning department manager's office.

Sun Yuanjing flashed his brightest smile, even getting up to go to the door to greet her, asking with concern, "Shu Tong's here! Please sit down. I heard you weren't feeling well and took the day off yesterday. Are you alright?"

Jiang Shutong was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, guessing that he hadn't seen her resignation letter yet.

Too lazy to engage in his pleasantries, she went straight to the point: "Manager Sun, is there something you need from me?"

Sun Yuanjing walked behind his desk and sat down. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It's like this, because Boyu is going to sue us, the company is investigating this matter..."

"I'm middle-aged, with elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and a huge mortgage to pay. I can't afford to lose my job at this time. Could you please, for the sake of all these years we've worked together... tell the company that you voluntarily transferred the Boyu project to Ruwei because you didn't have time to follow up on it at the time..."

Jiang Shutong smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Manager Sun."

"Um?"

Jiang Shutong touched her face. "Do I look like the Virgin Mary?"

Sun Yuanjing maintained his smile and tried to appeal to her emotions, "Shu Tong, I've been mentoring you since you graduated. You could say I've raised you up. I know your personality best; you've always been incredibly kind. You even fed the stray cats downstairs at the company..."

"If I lose my job now, I won't be able to pay my mortgage, the bank will foreclose on my house, I won't be able to support my children, and my wife might divorce me..."

The current economic climate is bad, jobs are hard to find, and he's already over forty years old, so being unemployed means he has no choice but to deliver food.

Jiang Shutong nodded, "Yes, we've worked together for so many years, and it doesn't stop you from betraying me and giving the projects I got through my own abilities to Bai Ruwei..."

If she hadn't discovered it by accident, she would have remained completely in the dark.

Sun Yuanjing's smile faded, and he began to use his trump card, "If you promise me this, I will give you priority in choosing all the company's projects from now on."

This used to be Bai Ruwei's right.

"No need." Jiang Shutong sneered as she stood up. "Go check your email; I'm resigning."

"Resign?" Sun Yuanjing was somewhat surprised. A while ago, when Jiang Shutong's mother came to make trouble, she begged him not to fire her.

Why is she resigning now?

At that moment, the office door was opened again.

The general manager of Zhitu walked in and slammed a stack of documents he was holding onto the desk.

"Sun Yuanjing, according to the information we have, you are suspected of having an improper relationship with your female subordinate Bai Ruwei. Due to excessive resource allocation to her, the company suffered huge losses. Effective today, you are dismissed, and we will be initiating a civil lawsuit against you..."

The stack of documents also included some printed photos of Sun Yuanjing and Bai Ruwei having an affair in the office.

Jiang Shutong was instantly disgusted by those photos...
