Bai Fu Jin found it all rather laughable...
She felt her predicament was no different than that of an artist who had lost his hand, a musician who had gone deaf, or a food critic whose tongue had lost its ability to taste.
She yearned to prove herself.
But, her struggles and protests only led to repeated disappointment and defeat.
Thus, several years prior, she changed her strategy. She stopped 'negotiating' with the obstinate elders and ceased all forms of 'protest'. Instead, she convinced her older brother in secret, and became his shadow...
A chilling shadow.
In contrast to Bai Fu Jin, her brother was placed in an influential position within the corporation to gain experience when he was merely twenty. His authority and funds far surpassed hers.
Yes, his card was loaded with funds and a budget, while Bai Fu Jin's merely held living expenses or pocket money...
The amounts were not small by any means, but the concepts were entirely different.
