The submissive wife of the domineering CEO

The rain poured down heavily, the large raindrops pounding fiercely against the car window. Lin Yue sat in the back seat of the taxi, quietly watching the blurry outlines of the city outside the window. She was wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, her long hair simply tied into a ponytail. On her face was the youthful innocence and unease of someone new in the workplace - this was the mask she had carefully prepared. "Miss, the Lin Group Building has arrived." The driver stopped the car at the side of the road and turned around to say. Lin Yue lowered her head and glanced at her phone. There were still twenty minutes until the registration time. She paid the fare, took a deep breath, and pushed open the car door, stepping into the pouring rain. The rain instantly soaked her shoulders. She sprinted towards the towering glass-walled building of the Lin Group. As she stepped through the revolving door, she unconsciously adjusted her breathing rate. Her aura instantly became timid and hesitant. Her shoulders even slightly drew inward, completely embodying the appearance of a recent college graduate. The reception area has already gathered quite a few new employees. The HR manager is distributing the onboarding materials. Lin Yue quietly stands at the end of the queue. When she takes her ID card, her fingers tremble slightly and her voice is as soft as the chirping of mosquitoes: "Thank you." "Is this Lin Yue? She has been assigned to the marketing department and is required to report to Director Su." The HR manager said matter-of-factly and then turned to the next person. Su Qing. Lin Yue murmured the name in her mind, a hint of coldness flickering in her eyes, but quickly she regained that timid expression. She followed the crowd towards the elevator area. It was during the morning rush hour and the elevator entrance was crowded with people. Lin Yue deliberately stood at the edge of the crowd, her head lowered, as if she was completely at a loss about everything around her. "Beep!" The executive elevator door opened, and a woman dressed in a Chanel suit and wearing stiletto heels stepped out. She had a flawless makeup and an arrogant expression. It was Su Qing. Lin Yue quickly noticed that Su Qing's gaze had swept through the crowd and finally rested on her. She immediately lowered her eyelids and nervously twisted her fingers together. "Hey, isn't this my dear cousin?" Su Qing's voice was sweet and** (sickeningly sweet)， yet it carried a distinct sense of sarcasm. "Finally， you must have decided to come out of your shabby little apartment and see the world?" Several colleagues around began whispering to each other, their gazes shifting back and forth between Lin Yue and Su Qing. Lin Yue raised her head and forced a smile, saying, "Good morning, cousin." Su Qing stepped closer and looked down upon Lin Yue from a superior position, saying, "After my mother passed away, I thought you would fall into depression. But I never expected that you could get a job at the Lin family company. It's truly astonishing." The sharpness of these words was too obvious, and the surrounding area fell silent immediately. Lin Yue pursed her lips tightly, her eyes slightly reddened, as if hurt by these words, yet she dared not to refute. Just then, Su Qing seemed to be pushed from behind by someone. She stumbled and collided with Lin Yue. The file folder in Lin Yue's hand immediately scattered all over the floor, with the papers flying around on the smooth marble floor. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Su Qing straightened up, but her tone betrayed no sign of remorse. "I have to rush to attend an early meeting. You take care of things yourself." After saying that, she stepped out of the room wearing her high heels and walked away, leaving behind a mess and sympathetic glances from everyone around. Lin Yue crouched down and began picking up the scattered documents one by one. Her movements were slow and clumsy, and even some of the papers were scratched by her hands. This perfectly depicted a panicked newcomer. Just as she was picking up the last piece of paper, a sudden intense dizziness struck her. Her vision began to distort, and the sounds around her became distant and blurry. Golden threads spread from her eyes, interweaving to form a flowing picture - she saw herself standing in the meeting room, Su Qing pouring a cup of coffee onto her laptop; she saw the office at night, her figure sneaking into the computer room was captured by the surveillance camera; she saw Gu Beichen's deep eyes staring at her intently, with suspicion and curiosity... The scene flashed by in an instant, so brief that it seemed merely her illusion. Lin Yue steadied her breathing and forced herself to calm down. This was her inherent ability - the "Eye of Cause and Effect", which enabled her to briefly glimpse fragments of the future. This ability had occasionally manifested itself since her childhood, but such a clear vision was a first. She continued to sort out the documents calmly, but her fingers were slightly trembling. This was not fear, but excitement. The awakening of the Foresight Eye meant that she was one step closer to the truth. "Need any help?" a gentle male voice sounded above her head. Lin Yue raised her head and saw a young man with glasses looking at her with concern. According to the information she had gathered beforehand, this was Li Ming, the project manager of the marketing department. "No, it's okay. I've already packed up." Lin Yue stood up and replied timidly. Li Ming helped her pick up the last few pages of papers and smiled, "You must be the new intern, right? Let me show you where your workstation is." "Thank you, Manager Li," Lin Yue whispered as she followed Li Ming towards the staff elevator. During the elevator ride up, Li Ming briefly introduced the situation of the marketing department. Finally, he tactfully reminded: "Director Su is very strict with the work. You... please pay more attention." Lin Yue nodded, understanding in her heart that this was a kind warning. Su Qing had been working at the Lin Group for two years. With her mother's position in the Lin family and her own skills, she quickly rose to the position of marketing director. However, Lin Yue, as the legitimate heir of the Lin family, had been living under the shadow of Su Qing due to her mother's sudden death and her father's indifference. But no one knew that this seemingly timid cousin was actually the mastermind behind the international financial organization "Yinyao", with the code name "Zero". The elevator stopped at the 28th floor. Li Ming led Lin Yue through the busy office area and pointed to a workstation near the corner: "This is your seat. For now, just get familiar with the environment. Supervisor Su will assign you tasks in the afternoon." Lin Yue softly thanked and sat down at her workstation. She turned on the computer and quickly scanned the entire office area, noting down the positions of the cameras and the blind spots of the surveillance. This was her instinct as "Zero" - no matter where she was, she would first master the layout of the environment. Her phone vibrated slightly, and an encrypted message appeared on the screen: "The European branch is in place and awaiting instructions." Lin Yue promptly replied, "Proceed as planned and be cautious of your cover." Turn off her phone. She then accessed the company's internal system and began to browse through employee files and department structures. Her movements seemed clumsy and slow, as if a true newcomer were exploring the system. But in fact, she was obtaining information at an extremely high efficiency. "Are you the new intern?" a sharp female voice spoke up. Lin Yue raised her head and saw a fashionable young woman standing in front of her workstation, with an arrogant expression. This was Zhang Qian, one of Su Qing's capable assistants. "Yes, my name is Lin Yue." She replied in a low voice. Zhang Qian threw a stack of documents onto her desk and said, "Enter these data into the system and finish it by the end of the day." Lin Yue glanced at the thick stack of documents. This was clearly an amount of work beyond the capabilities of a newcomer, but she still nodded: "OK." Zhang Qian turned around contentedly and left. She exchanged a glance with Su Qing who was a little distance away. Lin Yue lowered her head and began to work. Her fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, at an astonishing speed. But whenever someone passed by, she would deliberately slow down and pretend to be clumsy. At noon, she went alone to the staff canteen and chose a corner seat. Most of the other employees were in groups, and no one invited this new, timid intern to join them. Lin Yue didn't care. She ate her meal quietly, but her ears were listening to every conversation around her. From the casual chats of the employees, she learned that representatives from the Gu Family Group would visit in the afternoon to discuss an important cooperation project with Lin's company. Gu Beichen. This name caused her heart rate to drop by one beat. As the leader of "Yin Yao", she has a much deeper understanding of this young CEO of the Gu Group than ordinary people. At the age of 28, he is calm and decisive, and is known for his ruthless tactics in the business world. What's more, he has countless connections with the accident that her mother had back then. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yue was called to Su Qing's office. "Take these documents to the top meeting room," Su Qing pointed at a stack of materials on the table. "The Gu family's people are having a meeting there. Remember, just drop them off and leave quickly. Don't talk too much." Lin Yue nodded and picked up the heavy stack of documents. At the moment she turned around, she caught a fleeting calculation in Su Qing's eyes. She quietly left the office and took the elevator directly to the top floor. The corridor was silent. The door of the meeting room was slightly ajar, and there were low murmurs coming from inside. Lin Yue gently pushed the door open and, at the first glance, saw Gu Beichen sitting in the main seat. He was even more stern than in the photo, with deep features and sharp eyes like those of an eagle. Even when sitting, one could sense the powerful aura emanating from him. At this moment, he was concentrating on looking at the data on the projection screen, with his slender fingers gently tapping the table. Lin Yue lowered her head and walked quickly towards the conference table, preparing to put down the documents and leave. However, just as she was approaching the table, her footing suddenly gave way and she tumbled forward. The documents scattered all over the floor, and she herself nearly fell over. The meeting room fell silent immediately, and all eyes were focused on her. Lin Yue hurriedly crouched down to tidy up. Her cheeks turned bright red, and she looked extremely embarrassed. But at the moment she lowered her head, she noticed a small, slippery mark on the floor - it was clearly someone who had deliberately spilled water. "Sorry, I'll tidy up right away." She said, her voice trembling, and her fingers were uncooperative due to the "panic". Gu Beichen's gaze lingered on her for a moment. That look was like an icy blade, as if it could cut through the carefully crafted facade she had built up. "It doesn't matter. Let the cleaners handle it." His voice was deep and cold. "You can go back now." Lin Yue stood up as if granted a pardon and hurriedly left the meeting room. At the moment the door was closed, the panic on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold calculation. Su Qing's calculations were too obvious, but such tricks meant nothing to her. What really mattered to her was the look that Gu Beichen gave her - it wasn't the kind of gaze reserved for a clumsy newcomer, but rather an examination, an inquiry. Returning to her workstation, Lin Yue continued with the monotonous task of data entry. Her expression remained timid and her movements remained clumsy, but a complex plan was already beginning to form in her mind. It was time to leave work. The colleagues one by one went out. Lin Yue stayed behind on the pretext of working overtime. When the last person in the office also left, her entire aura suddenly changed. The back was straight, the eyes were sharp, and the fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, leaving only faint traces. In just ten minutes, the work that should have taken several hours to complete was all finished. She turned off the computer and stood by the window, looking down at the city's night scene. The rain had stopped, and the glass reflected her stern expression. The causal eye flickered slightly again, and a brief scene flashed through her mind - she saw herself standing in front of her mother's grave, holding a yellowed diary in her hand; she saw Gu Beichen standing in front of her, with a complicated expression; she saw Su Qing's frightened expression, and the old photo in her hand... Lin Yue gently touched the cold glass and whispered, "The game has begun, Mother. I will uncover the truth, no matter what the cost may be." Outside the window, the city's lights were like stars, illuminating the fleeting golden glow that flashed in her eyes.
