Scheming CEO vs. quirky heiress (not a naive sweetheart) [I won't abandon this novel. Updates may be irregular, but I'll do my best to finish it as quickly as possible. (fist-bump) (fist-bump)!!!]
Pure love / equally powerful leads / sweet romance / wealthy families
The day Jiang Ran nearly gave her life to get her driver's license, her family went bankrupt. To help make ends meet, she started working for the first time in her 25 years. Before she could earn a cent, she somehow wound up with a huge debt. To pay it off, she had no choice but to become that swindling businessman's “personal” secretary.
Everyone said Lin Heyu had all three qualities of a tall, rich, handsome man. As the eldest son of Zhenyu Group, the country's largest jewelry company, and its de facto head since the age of 23, he was every young woman's dream prince.
The prince suddenly got a female secretary, and overnight, Jiang Ran became the subject of everyone's gossip. They all said she was lucky, that her life was as sweet as honey. Only she knew how bitter her fate was, and how she cried over it late into the night.
“Jiang Ran, put today's meeting report on my desk.”
“Jiang Ran, organize the annual inventory list and bring it to my office.”
“Jiang Ran, come with me to a banquet after work.”
“Jiang Ran...”
“Lin Heyu! Don't push me too far! My workday is over!!!” Faced with her boss's ever-growing demands, Jiang Ran finally snapped and fought back.
Lin Heyu looked at the furious kitten before him and drawled, “If you don't finish the tasks your boss assigned, I'll dock your pay...”
Jiang Ran glared at him for a long while, then sighed helplessly. “You're rich, so you're the boss!”
“Good girl. I'll take you to pick out a dress.”
Jiang Ran: “Can somebody save me? [Sobbing] [Sobbing]”
