Pretending to Be a Coal Boss from the Start

Chen Tang was sent to the imperial capital to negotiate a business deal, but the talks fell through. Now he was preparing to return to the company and face his icy female boss.

On the high-speed train back to his hometown, the woman sitting next to him turned out to be a mining PhD who had returned from overseas.

After she called him a blunt, insensitive guy, Chen Tang decided to give her a piece of his mind.

"You PhDs really are impressive. Unlike me, I just happen to have a few mines back home. I spend every day doing nothing, muddling through life in a haze of luxury and indulgence. My life is so dull and meaningless."

Ding! The Super Coal Tycoon System has been successfully bound.

Your icy female boss is coming to meet you. Convince her you're a super coal tycoon. Reward: one luxury helicopter worth 300 million.
