[First wife of the Gu Family: "If Qin Sisi weren't so vicious-hearted, at least she'd look human."]
[Second wife of the Gu Family: "Looking so pretty and yet doing wicked things, coaxing the kids just to seize the Gu Family's property—this Qin Sisi has certainly learned to be smart."]
Wen Wo: "..."
"Is this supposed to be a compliment? Are you serious? Isn't this just cursing me out?"
System: [Extracting the key phrases from these two sentences, the host's appearance and intelligence have been praised.]
Wen Wo: Damn it, people can even take things out of context like this?
The main point of what they said was obviously that I'm vicious, harboring malicious intent, and just an empty-headed pretty face.
Besides, those reader usernames are dead giveaways—classic obsessive girlfriend fans of the male lead.
Wen Wo: [System, you idiot, even though you're totally useless and stupid, your voice sounds really nice. Care to extract some keywords for me?]
The System lagged: [The host is requested not to launch personal attacks against the System.]
"See? You are capable of extracting the correct meaning, aren't you?"
System: [...]
Children's energy comes and goes quickly.
Once the two kids were tired out and had fallen asleep, Wen Wo finally stood up and had the nanny carry them as they prepared to head home.
On the way, she ran into a staff member dressed as a clown.
"Congratulations on becoming the one-hundredth lucky visitor today! Here is your prize."
Really, that lucky?
It was a small bouquet of flowers and a few plush toys.
"Thank you. Jiaozi, Xuanxuan, come over and thank the uncle."
Xiao Jiaojiao was very polite. "Thank you, Clown Uncle."
After Wen Wo and her group left, the clown stayed right where he was, watching that direction.
"What are you looking at? The kids and tourists over there are looking for you to take pictures."
"Ah, right, right! I'm heading over right now."

Back at home, Wen Wo had the nanny take the two children to rest.
She took a bath, changed clothes, put on a nice face mask, and lay down on the sofa, having the nanny prepare a bowl of summer shaved ice while she watched a melodramatic romance drama and bickered in real time with the System.
"Madam, Assistant Chen sent someone to deliver something to you."
"What is it?"
Shortly after, Wen Wo saw several piles of documents placed in front of her. The person who delivered them said, "Madam, Assistant Chen says these are documents that Madam needs to sign. Please sign them as soon as possible."
Wen Wo: What is the meaning of this?!
Didn't they say she was a domineering president who didn't need to do any actual work?
"I have to sign all of them?"
"Yes. These are all important documents that Assistant Chen has already filtered through."
Wen Wo: "..."
Fine, signing documents it is. Fortunately, she had practiced her handwriting, so she started signing like a madwoman. As for the contents, since they were sent by Assistant Chen, they must have been thoroughly checked over on that end anyway, and even if there were any hidden traps, she wouldn't understand them anyway.
Since she couldn't avoid it,
there was no point in reading them.
Scratch-scratch, she battled away for over an hour, her hand practically on the verge of breaking before she finally finished signing all the documents.
"Also, there is a shareholders' meeting tomorrow morning at nine, in the afternoon we are renewing our partnership with Qianhe Company, and in the evening Madam is scheduled to attend the wedding banquet for the son of Liu's Building Materials. Please make sure you are prepared, Madam."
Wen Wo froze. "Do I really have to go to all of them?"
"Yes, Madam."
Wen Wo waved her hand and dismissed the person.
Then, collapsing onto the sofa, she dialed Assistant Chen, only to receive the exact same answer.
Apparently, this workload had already been streamlined down to the absolute bare minimum.
"My life is just too miserable. Not only do I have to help the male lead raise his kids, but I also have to work for him, while he probably has no idea which cozy little corner he's hiding in to enjoy himself. The author writing this novel isn't rigorous at all—obviously, domineering presidents in web novels never have to work, they can just open their mouths and make a hundred million yuan."
System: [This is very melodramatic, so we do not encourage it.]
Wen Wo: "..."
The next day, before she was even fully awake, Wen Wo received a phone call urging her down to the company. She sat there half-asleep, listening to the board members argue, and in the end, they didn't even reach a conclusion.
It was a total waste of time.
Then she met with the representatives from Qianhe Company, where she once again played the role of a pretty wallflower purely there for decoration. After Assistant Chen finished discussing terms with the opposing representatives, she signed the contract.
That evening, she changed into an exquisite and gorgeous evening gown and headed to the wedding banquet hosted by the Liu Family. After dropping off her gift, she slipped away to a corner to eat little cupcakes while observing a high-society wedding banquet. The venue was certainly quite large.
All of this would make great material for a web novel, though it seemed the engagement banquet in her own novel had still been a bit exaggerated.
