No Plagiarism!3gQWglCpBCsyKwxmaHkNposted on PＥNAＮＡ It’s been said that humans were like cancer cells. The earth was a person called Mr. Earth, and he was sick. What was wrong with Mr. Earth? No one knew! There was no scientific name for the disease; they just knew that there was a kind of creature constantly destroying him in his body. This creature, of course, was mankind.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlYvm5KwDx 維尼

Humans had strong greed, selfishness, and possessive. All these behaviors brought pain to Mr. Earth. At the same time, greed and selfishness also paved a shinny road of no return for the humans.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBc3O4Gv4u 維尼

I, Wun Cin Heung, did not yearn to walk on this road of glory. I had already prepared myself as I stood below this high wall. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9r5EBBt8r 維尼

Cin Heung waddled through the corridor and stopped in front of the secretary, Joey.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8FPXodo9R 維尼

Joey saw her sweet smile and went forward to hold Cin Heung with both hands. “Miss Wun, you’re back. You seem to be in good spirits!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkTHJfTcun 維尼

Cin Heung jokingly said, “Joey, thanks for your concern. You’re still as detached from all the fighting going on as usual I see.. The people downstairs are fighting endlessly, but you’re still as chill as ever.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMWhdpMyn 維尼

“Don’t make fun of me, Miss Wun. My battlefield is not simple either!” Joey pointed to the boss’s office and made a silly face. “I’m so happy to see you all recovered. I was really worried about you. I tried to look for you, but I couldn’t find you! Wendy told me not to disturb you, saying you were badly hurt.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16etlMNev 維尼

Cin Heung nodded silently.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlViq5HSu8 維尼

Cin Heung then said, “Living in your happy world without sadness nor troubles must be nice! You’re definitely a hundred times wiser than I am.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuPIHVfqK 維尼

Joey said shyly, “You’re making fun of me again! If I’m really smart, how can I just be a secretary? Do you think it’s easy being a secretary? People always gossip about how I am the boss’s lover or stuff like that. The other staff members are also very defensive when around me, making it hard for me to make friends. You’re the only odd one out.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgsB3Om6ks 維尼

Cin Heung laughed and said, “So I’m an oddball!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQzsqi9Nx 維尼

Joey blushed and said, “I’m not criticizing you!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡx19BJ0YdkC 維尼

“I get it, I’ve known you since you came here.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBQEeGBCh 維尼

“What you taught me about dealing with people will benefit me forever. I really want to call you my senior!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVMUEfZMC 維尼

“Hey! Don’t mention it! I’m nowhere old enough to be called a senior. I’m still young you know!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW9kfmyfjc 維尼

They looked at each other and smiled.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGIK9ST2mv 維尼

Joey suddenly appeared serious and said, “Oh, there are some things I have to say. Wendy has been here every day for the past two months. Everytime she goes in, she doesn’t come out for a long while…”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw7hYU1X9h 維尼

Cin Heung made a shushing gesture and said gently, “Shh, don’t talk about others behind their backs. It’s bad manners.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRcxLhF6d9 維尼

“But…”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEts4m3ti6 維尼

“I’m aware of it.” She nodded gratefully.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SG4IkmK8d 維尼

“I’ll call Mr. Gum and tell him you’re here then.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RuyxZAyu2 維尼

Cin Heung entered Mr. Gum’s room and could hear that he was listening to a symphony. She stopped in front of the door.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHGEtVSGbr 維尼

“So you came. Why are you standing there? Make yourself comfortable.” Mr. Gum pointed to the sofa with a smile.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ljTn6nRRS 維尼

Cin Heung walked over and sat down. As a veteran in dealing with office politics, she still looked at him with a smile.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnxMumO0Sn 維尼

“Cin Heung, haven’t seen you for months, yet you are still so gorgeous. If not for them saying that you were seriously injured, I wouldn’t have believed you’ve gotten injured.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSEDqKGyU7 維尼

“Is that so?” As she said that, she took off her coat.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡyShAQMGLvO 維尼

Mr. Gum suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Cin Heung’s pearly white shoulders.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDUP1o8Qd 維尼

Cin Heung showed her pink scars, which extended around her arms. “It’s like a brand that would last forever.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg66QkUOCf 維尼

Mr. Gum was shocked and felt sorry for her. However, his lustful expression was still hard to hide as he said, “You’ve been through so much.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd3wL3ZG1u 維尼

Cin Heung secretly ridiculed the lustful perverted boss. Acting like this after seeing her bare shoulders, what would he become if she showed him more? She then put on her coat calmly.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtwG2WCIGw 維尼

Mr. Gum toned it down after that as well and said, “You’re better now, so let’s not talk about the past! Tell me about your department!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡahJVlATqfG 維尼

“My department? What department? Do I even have a department?” She said with her hand under her chin.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdqgPFjNpW 維尼

“Hehe, Cin Heung, you must be blaming me.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcljEasJDA 維尼

She shrugged as she spread out her hand and said, “Me? I can’t, you’re the boss afterall!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ7yiyn7bF 維尼

“Wendy, that subordinate of yours, is very capable. She was pretty helpful when we went to business meetings. You’re lucky to have such a subordinate, that was why I promoted her to head of department.” After saying that he went to Cin Heung and sat down.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7viH07Uuy 維尼

“Wendy is capable for sure, I have always known that she can handle this position. I just can’t figure out what Mr. Gum is thinking about.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCOOWm5FlF 維尼

Mr. Gum took the opportunity to place his hands around Cin Heung and said, “Cin Heung, Cin Heung, you still don’t understand what I mean?”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh5nyTAPi7 維尼

Cin Heung had the chills but still pretended to be playful. She turned her head slowly to look at him, her puppy eyes looking at him with hope. “You didn’t make it clear, and I’m not the boss either. How can I understand your plan?”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3epXBLaP 維尼

“Yes, yes, how can someone of your calibre be a mere department head! This is my plan. Wendy will take over that position you had, while you! Heehee, will move over to this level, the executive level! You’ll be in charge of marketing for the whole company. Go ahead and choose one of the rooms outside.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NDdNOlhqI 維尼

Cin Heung raised her voice and said, “Now that’s something incredible! An administrative position! But as the saying goes, many go out for wool and come home shorn. This is too good to be true! There must be a price to this promotion. I don’t think it’s a good idea.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN7rhItb91 維尼

Cin Heung knew he would play with women in this way.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡDds9H813Qp 維尼

“What price could there be, you’re overthinking it! But you’ll be so busy! Upon taking up the position, you will have to go on a business trip to France with me next month.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FqFCM7gns 維尼

Cin Heung suddenly had an idea and said, “Ah… If that’s the case, I’ll surely be busy. I better get to work today!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFnqJybTJx 維尼

“Of course! This will take effect immediately! I’ll ask the girl outside to make arrangements.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡJww2i2yc9j 維尼

Cin Heung felt Mr. Gum’s vulgar and aggressive tone; she thought maybe it was better if she quickly left the office. She knew that Mr. Gum was a hungry lustful boss, and he wouldn’t let her off the hook so easily. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡLunTCSykgc 維尼

She gently took his arm off, turned around, and stood up. She gently held his hand to prevent him from moving abruptly. Mr. Gum looked at her nimble body and gave her a smile. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSiLVu1yyu 維尼

Cin Heung patted him on the back of his hand and said, “Let’s have a good, in-depth talk when we go to France.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2EomZx30l 維尼

“Good, good.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFtpqtal3n 維尼

“Then I’ll go outside and pick a room. We can continue after I settle.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0lkKjGQg 維尼

“Good, good.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpKsO6uIdB 維尼

Cin Heung leisurely walked out of the boss’ room.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHSuuL56tf 維尼

Mr. Gum watched her lithe back as she gracefully walked away from him, and even looked back to give him a smile before going.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dPsIorU42 維尼

With that, Mr. Gum was totally enchanted. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDuetDowy 維尼

Cin Heung got out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief. She told Joey to choose a room in the corridor for her, one which was the farthest away from Mr. Gum. Afterwards, she asked Joey to inform the whole company.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeibFVfNV3 維尼

Joey was so happy that she raised her fists and said, “Miss Wun, it’s a blessing in disguise!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4PvVe2BO5 維尼

Cin Heung laughed bitterly, “Silly girl, you don’t know how dangerous this world is. Some things are just meant to be yours, and they will always follow you regardless. It just can’t be forced.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE3fiayhIT 維尼

She went to the coffee shop at the lobby, bought a cup of coffee then made a call. “Dad, I got a promotion... Nothing special… What? Go to the martial arts gym? Again… When I’m free… OK, OK, I’ll come up sometime… I’m just calling to tell you about my promotion… Huh? You think I’m lying? You, yes, you were right. I was a bit stressed about work. Ha, ha, OK, OK, I’ll go up and hit the sandbag to vent! You’re treating me like a boy! Alright, I’m going back to the office. Bye!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzpWydgQN 維尼

Just like the dramas, in the time Cin Heung took to drink her cup of coffee, the news about her promotion had already spread to the entire company.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VL5zx7Srq 維尼

Back in the office, she thoroughly felt the difference between being under the spotlight and being left on the bench. Humans were indeed highly adaptable creatures.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv7PSYjlJ6 維尼

When Cin Heung came to the reception desk, several receptionists stood up and bowed slightly. “Hello, Miss Wun,” The ladies, who usually ignored her and gossiped a lot, were now respectful.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGgBcoF2JP 維尼

Cin Heung raised her hand and gestured for them to sit down. Along the way, staff members bowed and greeted her when they saw her. These people had been indifferent toward her in the morning, yet now they bowed with respect. The business world was such a snobby place.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4OSz0SrGs 維尼

In the distance, a woman ran over in a hurry. She was looking for Cin Heung.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7LsTrEdRY 維尼

“I finally found you… Cin… Ah... Miss Wun.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24hX0fwVQk 維尼

“Natalie, is there something urgent?”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY4G5auqXe 維尼

“Oh, hee, no, I just wanted to tell you that I’ll send someone to send you the contract for your promotion later. It won’t be long. Hee hee… Cin.. Miss Wun, you really are skilled.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPyppOKew 維尼

What else could Cin Heung say, so she just smiled and nodded.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKPeOlCIZj 維尼

After Natalie said what she had to say, she respectfully left. The irony, though, was that she had to come in such a fluster just for that.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZ1x47EYr 維尼

When Cin Heung arrived at her previous department, the staff immediately put down their work when they saw her. They all stood in line and said, “Miss Wun.” It was as though she was in a movie.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXfOYMkr2 維尼

She walked past everyone. In the past, this group of subordinates had always been somewhat afraid of her. Now, the sudden twist of events only served to make them even more fearful. They were afraid that Cin Heung would settle the scores with them now. Especially so for Siu Huen, and she kept rubbing her hands.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJx4q89DPx 維尼

Cin Heung stopped in front of Siu Huen. Siu Huen was so nervous that her face turned pale.8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbSXLAXfY 維尼

Cin Heung patted her arm and encouraged her, “Stop belittling yourself. You’re a capable person.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcbV8bg4u5 維尼

Wendy was even more embarrassed when she looked at Cin Heung. She didn’t know where to put herself in such a situation. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx78uQMEvq 維尼

Cin Heung had already guessed Wendy’s worries, so she announced to everyone, “From today on, I am no longer your direct superior. Wendy is your leader from now on! You all must listen to her!”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlBJS4RjHQ 維尼

“It’s alright.” She patted Wendy on the shoulder. Cin Heung turned to enter the room, but then stopped and said, “Wendy, you there? Come in for a bit.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC9LwBUZs8 維尼

As though she just woke up from a dream, she roused herself and quickly followed Cin Heung into the room. Wendy had mixed feelings as she said, “Miss Wun… I… I…” 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8RNvXykCe 維尼

Cin Heung waved her hand and said, “Let’s not talk about the past. You are now the head of a department. You should be mindful of your own dignity, and remember to stop trying to please others.” 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2tGZ9Grek 維尼

“Yes…”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReJIRyJOF 維尼

“In the business world, there are places that only the talented can reach. By taking on this position, your words and deeds represent the whole department. Even if the outside world is in ruins, everyone will still look to you. So, make sure you take good care of your companions.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz6lXF6JM3 維尼

Wendy glanced at the kitten figure on the table and continued to nod her head. 8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHZlLHSKOi 維尼

“This room is yours from now on.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxDXfvrESB 維尼

“Sister Wun…”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yDqtPLj92 維尼

“Don’t look so gloomy. You gotta act like a leader now.”8964 copyright protection298ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2kLOXLd5i 維尼

After saying that, she left and went upstairs. With mixed feelings, she thought, what use is there for a high position in the company?302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDgUUmwIJa
