Ling Yue held a cup of steaming hot tea, staring at the bottom right corner. She didn't know how long she had been looking, as even the tea had been cooled by the air conditioning.

Seeing her friend in a daze, Song Xinyao tilted her head and looked at where she was staring... The TV cabinet? But there was nothing on it.

"What are you looking at?" A look of great confusion appeared on Song Xinyao's face.

"Hm?" Ling Yue snapped back to reality and said, "Nothing, just a little sleepy."

"Then go take a nap. I want to clean up the sofa. A drunkard laid on it, and it stinks!" Song Xinyao rolled up her sleeves.

Since someone wanted to turn into a busy little bee, Ling Yue let her be.

Where Song Xinyao couldn't see, Ling Yue was filled with regret.

What a pity, what a pity.

She shouldn't have felt that dealing with such a small matter personally was a waste of time.

She should have gone to the scene!

Perhaps the resentment value could have risen even more.

A miscalculation!

Buzz, buzz, buzz— The phone on the table vibrated.

Caller ID: Shen Qingxue.

Arrived at the location sent by Shen Qingxue.

An internet-famous afternoon tea restaurant.

As soon as she walked in, she saw someone burying her head in eating.

That table full of drinks and small cakes was at least enough for eight people!

"At noon, I told you to eat more meat, and you made all sorts of excuses. But these are small cakes, calorie bombs! Are you crazy?" Song Xinyao was stunned.

Shen Qingxue smacked her lips and swallowed the food:

"The company gave me a month off, so I'll eat for half a month first!

Sit down, let's eat together. Yueyue's mango cake, Xinyao's strawberry cake! I didn't order the wrong ones, right?"

She pushed two plates of sliced cakes in front of the two.

Song Xinyao couldn't resist the temptation of the cake, took a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, it's not bad!"

"Looks like you're very satisfied with the compensation plan the company gave you?" Ling Yue took a small spoonful of cake and tasted it elegantly.

Shen Qingxue nodded wildly.

"Not just me. The company gave the same compensation to all previous victims who suffered at the hands of the manager. Two million! Two million! After deducting personal income tax, I would have to film so many dramas to earn this amount of money!"

She took a sip of water to wash away the sweetness in her mouth and continued: "The company didn't cover up for the criminal manager and plans to send him to jail. The boss also stepped forward to apologize to us.

For the colleagues who developed depression because of this, the company is willing to pay for their treatment and guarantees that after they recover, they will be compensated with roles in 5 short dramas. If they still don't want to stay, they can leave the company directly without paying any breach of contract fees.

In short, the other victims and I are quite satisfied with the outcome, and we have all chosen to give the company another chance."

Ling Yue smiled and said, "As long as you decide for yourself, that's fine."

Shen Qingxue suddenly put down her spoon and nudged closer to Ling Yue. "My good baby, it must be you helping me—helping us—behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would the company be so kind!

Given the nature of this kind of agency, if they didn't shelve us or strip us down to the bone, it would already be considered having a conscience."

"Wah, you got cake from the corner of your mouth on my hair!" Ling Yue poked the person who was stubbornly leaning forward.

Shen Qingxue pouted, pulled out a tissue, and wiped her mouth extremely casually.

Unable to contain her excitement, she said, "So this is what it feels like to have someone backing you! I love you to death, baby!!

I announce that from now on, if you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken!"

After saying that, she pounced over again, nearly knocking Ling Yue flying.

Ling Yue was like a ragdoll being tossed around, waiting for Shen Qingxue to finish being clingy, after which she would return to normal.

Two minutes later.

Shen Qingxue remembered something. She opened her handbag, took out a phone box, and placed it in front of Song Xinyao. "This is the same model phone that my former manager compensated you with."

Song Xinyao put down her spoon, took the box with both hands, and pursed her lips. "That scumbag is indeed stingy. He couldn't even bring himself to buy an Apple phone as compensation!"

Shen Qingxue reached out and pinched Song Xinyao's face. "Which model do you want? Big sister will buy it for you! Consider it as thanks for saving my life."

"Yo, only she gets one, and I don't?" Ling Yue pursed her lips.

Shen Qingxue turned and pinched Ling Yue's face too. "Of course you have one! If it weren't for your help, Miss, my road to seeking justice would have been long and arduous! So, what does Miss want? Just say it!"

"Hmm..." Ling Yue said haughtily, "I can't think of anything right now. Give me a few days."

"OK, then after we eat, we'll go to the Apple store first, and tonight I'll treat you to a big meal!" Shen Qingxue had it all planned out and was very satisfied with her arrangements.

Song Xinyao blinked her eyes, incredulous. "You're really buying it for me?"

"Yeah!" Shen Qingxue nodded.

Song Xinyao cupped her face and stomped her feet rapidly. "I'm too happy! I sponge off my parents at home and sponge off my besties when I go out—and I'm sponging off two at once!" She held up both hands, making two peace signs. "This life is too happy. It makes me not want to die. I finally understand why kings want to tinker with immortality elixirs when they get old."

"Now that you mention it, that's true." Ling Yue agreed.

Her money, even if she squandered it wildly every day, probably wouldn't run out for several lifetimes.

Speaking of squandering.

It seems like making movies is quite expensive.

One always hears about so-and-so spending hundreds of millions or over a billion on making a movie.

If it takes over a billion to make one, then if she makes a hundred, wouldn't that be over a hundred billion?

Maybe she could start a hundred-billion project, the kind with a competition mechanism, recruiting directors and screenwriters on a large scale. That way, she could pay the money into the project account, and wouldn't that be paying out a hundred billion at once?

Oh! Oh my! Whose brain is this, so smart!

One second someone was talking, the next second she suddenly started clapping.

Song Xinyao: "?"

Shen Qingxue raised her hand and waved it lightly in front of Ling Yue. "? It's over, has the kid gone silly?"

Ling Yue pushed her hand down. "You're the one who's silly. Where were you just talking about?"

Song Xinyao wiped the milk foam from the corner of her mouth. "Xiaoxue asked you if the thief was caught."

"Caught, they just transferred the compensation."

Ling Yue received the compensation on her way to the restaurant.

According to the contract, if an employee steals items and causes the employer to suffer losses, the housekeeping company must pay 1 million in compensation.

The other 102,200 was the amount Zhao Fang paid according to the price.

"That's good. This person was too rampant," Shen Qingxue muttered.

Ling Yue waved her hand. "Let's not talk about her. How do you plan to spend this month of vacation?"

Shen Qingxue didn't even think about it and said, "Eat and sleep, sleep and eat! Then go on a trip to change my mood."

She looked at Ling Yue. "You didn't go out with us before because you didn't have money. Now that you have money, you can go with us, right?"

Ling Yue smiled. "We thought of the same thing."

Ever since Song Xinyao came to Hangzhou, Ling Yue had planned to go traveling with her.

It was just that there was a class reunion, then she met Shen Qingxue, and then the Zhao Fang incident happened, which caused the delay.

"Then where do you want to go?" Song Xinyao asked her eagerly.

"How about going to the seaside? I've grown up this big and still haven't seen the ocean." Ling Yue was full of anticipation.

Shen Qingxue nodded. "The seaside is the best place for a vacation and relaxation. I raise both my hands and feet in agreement!"

"Wherever Yueyue goes, I go. I am her soldier now." Song Xinyao winked at Ling Yue.

Ling Yue put her hands together and clapped. "Alright, leave the travel arrangements to me."

"You're making the itinerary? That's great! I hate making itineraries the most." Shen Qingxue shook her leg and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the activities are, I won't be picky. There's just one thing I need to clarify in advance: in order to manage my weight, I will eat less food, so don't think I'm a killjoy."

Song Xinyao looked skeptical. "We'll see if you can hold back."

Shen Qingxue couldn't refute this, because it made a lot of sense.
