Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing Zhou Cuians account, Murong Yumengs eyes betrayed a hint of disdain, yet her expression showed shock. Junior Sister Zhou, I never expected you to stoop to such levels. How do I even begin to address this?

Towards the end, she wore a disappointed look, as if deeply saddened by the matter. Simultaneously, she felt hurt by the betrayal of trust.

However, deep down, Murong Yumeng was filled with disdain upon learning about Zhou Cuians kickbacks. Initially, she had only helped Zhou Cuian in hopes of having someone monitor Ye Lengan for her. Little did she know, Zhou Cuian was of a smaller scale but quite audacious. Being just a temporary winter worker, daring to commit such acts.

Though everyone understood the intricacies of procurement, no one dared to take such risks on their first attempt. Any procurement officer, in their initial purchases, would be cautiously meticulous. Yet Zhou Cuian displayed boldness and greed, barely grasping the ropes before diving in.

And all for a sum of over twenty thousand.

Had there been no mishaps, she might have kept silent. But now, for this paltry sum, she had stirred up trouble once more, showing her foolishness by bringing it to her attention again.

If it werent for this fool having some connection with Ye Lengan, she would have left immediately.

Upon Murong Yumengs words, Zhou Cuian felt overwhelming shame. Lowering her head, she kept apologizing, Senior Sister Murong, Im truly sorry. It wasnt intentional. Initially, I hesitated, but the manager was overly persuasive, claiming everyone did it. My greed got the better of me, leading to this mistake.

Junior SisterZhou, Im at a loss for words. Murong Yumengs face conveyed sorrow. Do you realize youre committing a crime?

Panic-stricken at the mention of a crime, Zhou Cuian grabbed Murong Yumengs hand on the table, pleading desperately, Senior Sister Murong, youre my only hope now. I beg you, help me! I cant afford to go to jail or tarnish my record. Please, Im in dire straits.

If she didnt intervene, her future prospects would be uncertain. Even her educational pursuits might be jeopardized.

Murong Yumeng withdrew her hand, a hint of displeasure and repulsion flickering in her eyes. Resisting the urge to wipe her hand, she tapped Zhou Cuians hand and said, I understand, but have you considered the consequences?

Senior Sister Murong, I was momentarily misguided. Zhou Cuian pleaded anxiously. No one else can help me now. Please, you have to help me!

With no other solution in sight, and considering Murong Yumengs stature, her words could sway the companys decision.

After hearing Zhou Cuians request, Murong Yumeng frowned, unsure. How can I a.s.sist you after what youve done?

Zhou Cuian clutched at a lifeline, saying, Senior Sister Murong, you dont need to do much. Just speak on my behalf to the company, asking them not to pursue this. Ill forego the money.

Now, that twenty thousand felt like a hot potato.

She had a promising future ahead and wasnt willing to jeopardize it over such a meager sum.

I see. Murong Yumengs expression reflected difficulty. Isnt this inappropriate? I introduced you to the company before. Now, Im defending you again. This

Senior Sister Murong, please help me! Zhou Cuian grew more desperate, tears welling up. If you wont help me, my life is over.

As she spoke, Zhou Cuian had lost all semblance of composure. The madness and anxiety in her eyes seemed to engulf her. It was no exaggeration to say that if Murong Yumeng refused to help her today, Zhou Cuian couldnt even guarantee her own fate.

Observing Zhou Cuian on the brink of despair, Murong Yumengs eyes turned cold, her face conflicted. Junior Sister Zhou, I

Senior Sister Murong, please.

Zhou Cuian stood and moved closer to Murong Yumeng, ready to kneel.

With her future at stake, dignity was a luxury Zhou Cuian couldnt afford. Her mind was solely focused on her future. Especially having witnessed the capitals prosperity, she refused to return to her humble beginnings.

Seeing Zhou Cuian about to kneel, Murong Yumeng promptly intervened, pulling her back. Junior Sister Zhou, what are you doing? Youre putting me in a difficult position.

Senior Sister Murong, please. Zhou Cuian couldnt hold back her tears. If you help me this time, Ill owe you a debt of grat.i.tude. Im left with no other choice.

Well Murong Yumeng sighed, finally relenting. Fine. Given our shared school ties, Ill a.s.sist you this once. After all, it impacts your future. We cant let this mistake ruin it.

With Murong Yumengs a.s.surance, Zhou Cuian breathed a sigh of relief, nearly collapsing. Were it not for Murong Yumengs support, she might have made a spectacle of herself.
