[A funny, sensitive college girl vs. a fake playboy who’s actually a fatherly tycoon] Seven-year age gap
Sang Qi is an ordinary college student, and unfortunately, she’s studying early childhood education, a soul-crushing field. With her internship coming up, she figures there’s no rush to find a real job since she already has a side gig as a gaming companion. She’ll find a summer job to tide her over, then think about what kind of internship to pursue.
But after one disappointing interview after another, she’s just about ready to give up and go home.
Then a certain boss messages her out of the blue. The offer draws her in: high pay, a hostess job with meals and accommodation included, and a guaranteed monthly salary of at least 8,000.
College students are easy to fool, and before she knows it, she’s been lured to a certain club.
The first time:
Sitting in the lounge, waiting to go onstage, she hears, “The new girl looks kind of clueless. She seems familiar, too. If you come offstage and feel like crying, I might even try not to laugh.” At the time, Xing Yi thinks he sure talks a lot.
The second time:
“Hey, you’re still here. Keep it up! I’ve got time today, so I’ll be down there clapping for you.” This time, Xing Yi gives him the finger and rolls her eyes.
The third time:
“You’ve teased me twice and watched me perform twice. Don’t you feel a little bad not sending me flowers?” She only means it as a joke, but that day, for the first time, she makes a five-figure salary in a single day.
Later, he asks, “Are you really that short on cash? You work at the club and still take gaming-companion jobs on the side. Why not come with me instead? You want money, and I’ve got plenty. We’d be perfect together.”
