Egrets Rise in the Galaxy

At sixteen, Xu Xinghe was an excellent student, pretty and pure-looking, with smiling eyes. Her family was well-off, but she wasn't spoiled. She was adored by everyone at school, both students and teachers. Her classmate Bai Luqi was the complete opposite. Her father was a drug addict who had been jailed, and her mother was mentally unstable. Everyone kept their distance from her, as if she were filthy dust. No one but Xu Xinghe was willing to sit with her. . Years later, Bai Luqi, now worth over a hundred million, runs into Xu Xinghe working at a fast-food restaurant. She hears that a few years ago, Xu Xinghe's family went bankrupt, her parents disappeared, and she was left to repay all their debts. But the smile on the young woman's face is as clear as she remembers. She whispers in Bai Luqi's ear, "Since we're old classmates, I'll give you two extra pieces of fried chicken. Act natural, okay? Don't let the manager notice." Xu Xinghe turns to leave, unaware that the person at the table has quietly blushed. After they grow close again, Xu Xinghe sips her cola and complains glumly to Bai Luqi: "It's all because shop rents are so high. The manager can only pay me this much. Capitalists are the worst!" "..." Bai Luqi, a capitalist thanks to her rental income, nods in agreement. "That's really unfair." A few things to know before reading: 1. This probably isn't a domineering CEO story.
