Chapter 1

The day before the company's promotion qualification exam, Chloe closed the conference room door with a mysterious air.

"I have a way to make sure everyone on our project team passes the exam!"

"Personal hygiene products brought into the exam room won't be inspected if they're unopened."

"We just need to copy the key points onto tissues we carry in and bring them with us!"

Before she finished speaking, the entire project team erupted in excitement.

In my previous life, as the deputy team leader, I stopped them from this ridiculous idea in time.

"The company notice said that this year they're adding inspections of opened packages. Any packaged personal items will be opened and checked. You'd better not make trouble for yourselves. This is the promotion exam that affects next year's job level and salary!"

The whole team scoffed at me.

"Oh, so righteous, aren't you? You're just afraid we'll all get promoted and take your manager position!"

"Chloe truly has our best interests at heart. Stop being such a buzzkill!"

With no other choice, I reported this to HR.

As a result, they were caught cheating. Everyone just got a verbal warning, but only Chloe was stripped of her position.

Holding a grudge, she pushed me down the stairs when I was working overtime.

When the police investigated, my colleagues all pleaded for her:

"Chloe is such a good person. It must have been Nina who started it!"

"She's always been a snitch. This is what she deserves!"

I closed my eyes with endless hatred.

When I opened them again, I had returned to the day Chloe taught everyone to cheat.

I raised my hand with a smile, my eyes curving into crescents:

"That's a brilliant idea! Count me in first!"
