Su Sujie works as a server at a Chinese restaurant in a five-star hotel run by a foreign company in Shanghai.
She complains, “I spent four years busting my butt in college in Shanghai. What the hell was I thinking, studying hotel management? It’s nothing but waiting tables, and it wears you out every day.”
In the eyes of the world, food-service workers are “unskilled,” “going nowhere,” and “inferior,” earning a measly paycheck while risking their lives on the job.
Su Sujie can’t hide her disdain. “How far can you really get by waiting tables?”
Ye Zimo is a taciturn, poker-faced heartthrob straight out of a comic, and a brilliant PhD student at one of Shanghai’s top universities.
He watches Su Sujie fight her way forward, evolving from a slacker office underling into a decisive, confident woman who can be sweet or cool as the occasion demands.
He can’t wait to make Su Sujie his wife.
This time, he has no intention of letting her go. He’ll stay by her side, inseparable and devoted, sharing the next hundred years of their lives!
(This story is set in the food-service industry and explores its “sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty” side.
It portrays the real lives of Shanghai’s migrant workers: either get out or fight with everything you’ve got. Dreams and reality coexist, and you keep going through both pain and joy.)
