Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past six months, the light in room 2202 has always been the last to go out. Every day after get off work, Qiu Yingying's first task is to dive into the system's built-in study room—no longer just a monotonous interface with only stenography courses, but now featuring three core courses: GG Planning and Creative Design, Brand Marketing Full-Case Practice, and New Media GG Placement and Data Analysis. She integrated her previous stenography and document organization knowledge with the new course content, and through simulated practice and real exam questions within the system, she painstakingly earned three weighty certificates: the Senior Stenographer Certificate, the Junior Accountant Certificate, and the New Media Operator Certificate.

As system tasks were completed one after another, her wealth increased accordingly. From the initial few hundred yuan, to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and now, the wealth figure on the system panel prominently displayed 284 million. In addition, the rewards for completing high-difficulty tasks were substantial—a full fifty grams of gold bars, which she carefully locked in a safe deep inside her wardrobe. Her system points had also accumulated to over 5000; watching the number jump upwards brought a sense of peace to her heart.

As for the items redeemed through the system's check-in system, they filled the empty walk-in closet in room 2204 to the brim. All sorts of dresses, suits, and casual sweatshirts crammed into the closet, ranging from accessible luxury brands to niche designer pieces; the shelves were filled with bags, from work tote bags to exquisite evening bags, in every color and style imaginable; and the drawers were overflowing with dazzling necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Occasionally, Qiu Yingying would choose a well-coordinated outfit and change into it, and in the mirror, she almost didn't recognize herself.

What's even more impressive is the transformation in her. Those business etiquette classes and communication skills training weren't for nothing. The impulsive and easily angered Qiu Yingying of the past now exudes a composed and well-mannered air. She speaks more slowly, and her interactions with others are measured and appropriate. Even in urgent situations, she no longer panics or loses her temper. Before acting, she subconsciously weighs the consequences. Although she still occasionally gets anxious, at least she no longer makes impulsive decisions that she'll later regret.

And her efforts have long since borne fruit.

Leveraging her knowledge of new media operations, her Weibo and Kuaishou accounts have amassed a combined following of over 500,000. From initially sharing practical workplace tips and shorthand techniques to later occasionally discussing interesting anecdotes and pitfalls in the Google Ads industry, her down-to-earth style has attracted a large following. Now, businesses approach her daily to advertise on Google Ads, and this month alone, she's easily earned 50,000 yuan.

Her performance in her core GG (Google Ads) role has been nothing short of phenomenal, achieving remarkable results that have garnered widespread admiration. When she first joined the company, she was merely a junior clerk responsible for organizing client information and verifying contract terms; now, she's become a key member of the department, capable of handling tasks independently. Leveraging the knowledge she gained in GG planning and creative design courses, she created a promotional plan for a local coffee brand that accurately captured the preferences of young consumers, achieving a synergistic online and offline campaign that directly led to a 30% surge in the brand's quarterly sales. Furthermore, utilizing her data analysis skills, she optimized the GG advertising channels for several of the company's long-term clients, reducing advertising costs by 15% while increasing conversion rates by 22%, earning high praise from clients who even presented the company with a banner of appreciation.

Because of these solid achievements, Qiu Yingying was promoted to team leader of the GG planning team, and her monthly salary increased to 12000 plus 2000 performance bonus. At every department meeting, her clear and logical speeches and meticulous plans made the leaders nod in approval. Even her old colleagues who used to complain about her lack of experience are now willing to work with her.

That weekend, Andy suggested a get-together at her house, saying it had been a long time since they'd all gotten together for a lively gathering. Qiu Yingying was busy in the kitchen early, braising a large pot of beef, its flavor rich and savory, sliced ​​evenly, and packed into an elegant food container before heading out. Guan Juer, on the other hand, carried a large bag of fresh fruit—strawberries, cherries, Shine Muscat grapes, and more, all carefully selected.

When the two arrived at Andy's house, Andy was wearing an apron and grilling steak in the kitchen, the aroma filling the entire house. A little while later, Fan Shengmei arrived as well. She had dressed up specially, wearing a fitted dress, high heels, and carrying a rather elegant-looking handbag. She greeted them with a smile as she entered, "Andy's cooking makes my mouth water just smelling it!"

As the group was setting the table, Qu Xiaoxiao kicked the door open, grabbed Dr. Zhao's arm, and barged in, exclaiming loudly, "I told you there would be good food! Dr. Zhao, you'd better eat a lot today!"

Her gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing precisely on the bag Fan Shengmei had brought. Already dissatisfied with Fan Shengmei's comments about being overly competitive, and having had a falling out with her before, she immediately curled her lips into a mocking smile: "Oh, Sister Fan, this bag is nice, isn't it? A fake? You can buy two for three hundred yuan at the night market downstairs from my house. Yours is worth at most two hundred and fifty yuan."

Fan Shengmei's face turned pale instantly, and her fingers gripping the bag strap tightened instantly, her knuckles turning blue. Forcing a smile, she raised her chin and retorted, "Qu Xiaoxiao, you can't just say whatever you want. This bag is genuine; Wang Baichuan gave it to me, it costs several thousand."

"Several thousand?" Qu Xiaoxiao laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. She leaned close to Fan Shengmei and reached out to touch the hardware in the bag. "The workmanship of your hardware is obviously from Yiwu Small Commodities Market. And you call it genuine? Sister Fan, you might fool Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, but you think you can fool me? You're far from it."

"Don't touch me!" Fan Shengmei slapped her hand away abruptly, her voice trembling. "What bag I use is none of your business! Just because you have money doesn't mean you can humiliate people!"

"Humiliate you?" Qu Xiaoxiao's smile vanished, her eyes filled with disdain. She crossed her arms, looking down at Fan Shengmei. "I'm helping you face reality! If you were truly rich, you wouldn't be flaunting counterfeit goods everywhere; if you really had a good relationship with Wang Baichuan, you wouldn't be hoping he'd bring you into high society every day. Fan Shengmei, you're living such a tiring life, aren't you tired of pretending?"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Fan Shengmei's most vulnerable heart. She remembered the embarrassment of saving money to buy counterfeit goods, the heartache of having to dress up carefully every time she went out with Wang Baichuan, and the dignity she had to maintain in front of others. Her eyes instantly reddened.

Seeing this, Qiu Yingying quickly stepped forward and grabbed Fan Shengmei's arm, then winked at Qu Xiaoxiao: "Say less, it's a dinner party today, don't ruin the harmony."

Guan Juer quickly chimed in, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, we're all friends, let's talk things out."

Andy frowned, turned off the stove, wiped his hands, and walked over. His gaze towards Qu Xiaoxiao was also somewhat displeased: "Xiaoxiao, everyone has their own difficulties. You shouldn't be so aggressive."

Qu Xiaoxiao, however, refused to back down, instead sneering, "Difficulties? Her difficulties are just being overly ambitious! She's clearly a peasant, yet she insists on trying to fit in with swans. Does she really think everyone else is blind?"

"Shut up!" Fan Shengmei couldn't hold back any longer, her voice trembling with tears. "I'll climb the social ladder! I'll do whatever it takes to be a rich girl like you, born with a silver spoon in your mouth who only knows how to bully others!"

Before she could finish speaking, she grabbed her bag, covered her face, and rushed out of Andy's house. Wang Baichuan happened to arrive and saw Fan Shengmei running out crying. He quickly chased after her, leaving an awkward silence in the living room.

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted and nonchalantly pulled Dr. Zhao to sit down: "This is boring. I was hoping to have a nice meal, but this has ruined the mood."

Qiu Yingying stared at the closed door, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew Fan Shengmei's vanity and hardships, and she also understood Qu Xiaoxiao's sharpness and straightforwardness, but when these two completely different lives collided, it ultimately resulted in a complete mess.
