382 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

## Chapter 382: Su Qi's Proposal On September 31st, the morning sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, casting its glow upon the intertwined bodies resting on the bed in a peaceful slumber. Long strands of ink-black hair lay tangled together, interweaving the black and fair colors into a scene that was captivating to behold. Wang Yun felt the sunlight warming her skin and instinctively squinted her eyes. When she glanced at the wall clock, it showed 7 AM, and she was momentarily dazed. Whenever she was with Su Qi, the little girl always managed to disrupt her morning routine. She used to be able to wake up at 5 AM even while holding her, but now, she had slept in until 7! Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh, "Nights are too short when days stretch long; thus, the king neglects his duties." It really fit her situation perfectly. Thinking back to yesterday, when they started discussing stocks and then got swept away by passion, the sweetness of the little girl overwhelmed Wang Yun, and she couldn't resist giving a gentle kiss to the sleeping Su Qi. Just then, the phone beside the bed chimed with a notification. Wang Yun wondered who would send a message on a weekend. She then saw it was from the new general manager at her company, posting a message on WeChat. He required everyone to report to the company by ten o'clock for a sudden meeting. Wang Yun was accustomed to such situations. After all, isn't it said that a new broom sweeps clean? Typically, leaders like to do something unusual during their initial days. Last week, a similar situation arose. The general manager's opinion was grandly titled as 'testing the team's execution capability.' Those who didn't show up were considered absent without leave. Consequently, by Monday, eight people had submitted their resignation letters. Wang Yun thought there wouldn't be any more antics this week, but here it was again! Considering the peculiar happenings at her company recently, Wang Yun actually contemplated resigning. Although her performance was top-notch, the company’s profit figures could only be evaluated internally. Therefore, even if her capabilities were strong, during interviews with other companies, she couldn't present concrete data. Plus, her youthful appearance compared to others often prevented her from landing positions with equivalent salaries to the current 'investment director' role. Beyond salary issues, her team, groomed by her, would be left in a bind if she left abruptly, which she thought would undeservedly benefit the company. Thus, after much deliberation, Wang Yun hadn’t made a move to job-hop. Feeling Wang Yun's slight movements, Su Qi, still savoring her embrace of Wang Yun—now lovingly regarded as her wife—stirred, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and gradually awoke. Seeing Wang Yun looking intently at her phone, her brows slightly furrowed, clearly troubled, Su Qi instinctively peeked at the screen. She soon saw the general manager's group message about working on the weekend, followed by a series of "Received" acknowledgments. Noticing the various avatars posting receipts, Su Qi, who had just stepped into society from school, found it all quite puzzling. Working on a weekend and demanding receipts—it felt like a silent torment to her heart. At this point, Wang Yun also noticed the small head of her little lazybones peeking in, and said to Su Qi somewhat helplessly, "See, wife, to support you, I have to endure the bullying of unscrupulous bosses." Listening to Wang Yun's words, the fresh-out-of-university Su Qi was momentarily speechless. She could discern that Wang Yun's company had some issues, but considering Wang Yun's monthly base salary of 40,000, it seemed a shame to resign. After all, that salary was quite substantial, not to mention the bonuses tied to performance. Yet, the thought of her wife being aggrieved left Su Qi feeling uncomfortable. After pondering for a while, Su Qi suddenly thought of an idea! Now that her stock trading guide had reached its eleventh chapter, there was advice suggesting gaining hands-on experience at a trading company to understand the differences between institutional and individual trading. Wasn’t Wang Yun’s company the perfect choice for this? Though she couldn’t immediately help Wang Yun escape her troubles, staying by her side might at least provide some comfort. Moreover, Su Qi could access internal information unattainable by individual traders and learn about the company’s approaches to handling issues. One must remember that the system had left her a debt of a billion, with only about 50 days remaining. Currently, Su Qi's assets totaled 10 million, meaning she had to multiply her assets tenfold in this short period—a task both daunting and time-critical. Even a mere 1% improvement in her chances was reason enough for her to consider joining a trading company. Contemplating, Su Qi spoke up, "Wang Yun, after school starts, I’ll intern at your company and accompany you to work!” Wang Yun was taken aback by the little lazybones’ words. She had merely made a joke, yet the little lazybones had actually taken it seriously. Seeing Su Qi’s earnest, sincere eyes, Wang Yun felt a warmth spreading in her heart. However, in the end, she shook her head and said, “No need, lazybones. You should focus on school. My company is a pit right now—it wouldn’t be right to drag you in. Besides, the stipend for interns is really low, only about 4,000 a month.” Hearing Wang Yun's concerns, Su Qi shook her head and replied, “It's okay, Wang Yun. The stipend isn't an issue. I want to learn how trading companies handle stock trading. Plus, if anyone gives you a hard time, I can confront them for free!” Wang Yun found herself amused and exasperated by Su Qi’s response. Though as a director, she often faced underhanded tactics, no one dared to openly provoke her. Appearances had to be maintained. And frankly, Wang Yun couldn’t quite imagine her sweet-looking little lazybones confronting anyone! Perhaps it’d be like yesterday evening, with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks? Thinking of it this way, Wang Yun decided it was better not to let the little lazybones confront anyone else. Such an adorable scene was meant only for her eyes. However, setting aside those last comments, reflecting on Su Qi’s initial suggestion made Wang Yun seriously consider it. Letting the little lazybones into her company indeed seemed feasible. Yesterday, when Wang Yun reviewed Su Qi’s stock portfolio, she was astounded by the impressive figures nearing 6 million. After examining it closely, Wang Yun realized her little lazybones could be referred to as a ‘market maven.’ In their in-depth discussion about stocks, Wang Yun truly felt that Su Qi, in several areas, seemed more knowledgeable than herself—a veteran stock trader. Some of Su Qi’s proposals even shocked and resonated with her. Yet, Wang Yun identified Su Qi's weak point, which lay in understanding the differences between company-driven and individual-driven market dynamics. If a trading company abruptly withdrew funds, it could lead to a series of disruptions—a scenario Su Qi found challenging to predict. Thus, Wang Yun concluded that having Su Qi learn from inside her company wasn't a bad idea at all. Real-world experience is always the best teacher. Virtual money didn't induce urgency, and personal funds posed risk concerns. Therefore, using the company's funds to experiment with various scenarios seemed prudent. Furthermore, with her protection, no one could harm her. Most importantly, Wang Yun had an independent office without any surveillance. Thinking of having her little lazybones as a colleague, spending every day together, Wang Yun thought it sounded wonderfully exciting!
