Synopsis

Seven years ago, she was the heiress to a wealthy family who chased after a poor but brilliant student. She used all the tricks men use to pursue women to win him over, then refused to take responsibility and dumped him.

Seven years later, he had risen from poverty to become a domineering CEO. He brought her, now down on her luck and desperately job-hunting, into his company, then tried to buy her at an exorbitant price.

With all due respect, Mr. Li, I work in tech. I sell my skills, not myself.

Mr. Li: Then let’s work on some tech together.

And then, one day...

As he buttoned his shirt, Mr. Li said, “Write up your takeaways and lessons learned. Next time, we’ll try some new techniques.”

Wrapped in the blanket, she regretted it. Wouldn’t selling herself outright have saved her from having to unlock so many new skills?

But Mr. Li wanted to make his ex-girlfriend his wife?

She politely declined. “Mr. Li, we have a bad history. I suggest you keep this physical and leave your heart out of it.”

After that, every few days she found herself walking around with a sore back.

But was all this just his revenge for being dumped back then?

She didn’t care whether he was taking revenge, as long as it didn’t get in the way of making money.

All she wanted was to quietly build her career, but there were always people who thought she had gotten ahead by relying on Mr. Li and tried to stand in her way. They couldn’t blame her for crushing them with the overwhelming advantage of a max-level player.

In the end, though, someone told her that all along the road to her comeback, he had cleared the obstacles, blazed the trail, and helped her break through and emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon.

In that case... she had no choice but to offer herself to him.

As she unbuttoned her shirt, she said, “Mr. Li, I’m hiring a skilled technician. Interested?”

His throat bobbed. He held her hand and asked, “Can I get certified for the job?”

She looked at him and smiled. “Go get your ID. The civil affairs office should still be open.”

Is Everyone Writing Retro Stories These Days?

The female lead either looks down on the poor or regrets her choices. She’s either had a tragic upbringing or is a CEO or school belle. Is there a story where both leads come from wealthy families and have always been close, from childhood onward? Ideally, it would be sweet all the way through. I’ve read too many stories about bickering couples.

I can't understand why such a good book has such low popularity. The logic is sound, the plot is unconventional, and it's truly captivating. The male lead's inner turmoil and eventual acceptance of his feelings are remarkably realistic, while the female lead struggles to survive due to her family background.

It's a great show! I really love the female lead's personality. Finally, it's not one of those long-awaited reunions where the male lead acts aloof and the female lead pretends not to care but then turns around heartbroken and cries. I adore the female lead!

I love jelly-like stories the most; the more I read them, the more enjoyable they become.

It's exceptionally good. Perhaps fewer people have read it, resulting in a lower score. The author is very intelligent and professional, with correct perspectives and sound values. It's a truly excellent piece, no less so than *Fish Doesn't Speak*.

I stayed up all night to read it. The story was very compelling and the plot was rich, and the writing was good, but it was also exhausting to read, especially mentally. There were too many negative female characters, and the tactics of the various female supporting characters were particularly vicious. 🥺

Xingchen is beautifully described. Beautiful, stubborn, and a lively lover. President Li is like a loyal golden retriever, but a golden retriever is most handsome when its owner expresses affection. Xingchen is the kind of person who expresses her affection to men.

It felt like watching a Hong Kong drama series; the plot was vivid and engaging, with laughter, tears, and profound life lessons. Every character was well-developed. I haven't read such a thought-provoking story on Tomato in a long time. The author's writing is superb!

This book is both sweet and heart-wrenching. Every interaction or clash between the female and male leads is so captivating. The female lead is so independent, and the male lead is so deeply affectionate.

It's a great watch; the characters are all very typical and vivid. Lu Dingsheng is such a perfect character—a perfect father and a very responsible husband, but he can't manage everything. How could he bear to part with his daughter whom he'd raised for 20 years, especially someone who's been working in the business world for so long?
