A Workplace Beauty: Lin Qian’s Brilliant Journey

【Women's Fiction + Personal Growth + Comeback + Healing + Inspirational + Realistic + Everyday Urban Life + Bittersweet, Then Sweet】 Lin Qian is 33 this year. Though she was born into an ordinary family, her determined nature helped her overcome every obstacle and establish herself in a top-tier city. She has a respectable job, a sensible son, and a husband with whom she gets along well enough. She thought life would continue steadily along like this, but she never expected fate's wheels to quietly begin turning that year. Without telling her family, she ended her ten-year marriage to Gao Ming, with whom she'd been locked in a cold war for over a year. She said goodbye to her hollow marriage and decided to focus entirely on her career. A traditional mother, an uncaring ex-husband, a son with no one to look after him, and a career fighting its way back against the odds... Was outmaneuvering her scheming colleague and securing a director's position the perfect beginning, or the start of an even deeper workplace trap? A man who seemed able to fulfill all her fantasies, the CEO of a consulting firm she partnered with, brought a new color to her world. But was this relationship a wonderful match, or another abyss? She made a pact with her family: if she could make a breakthrough at work within a year, and, most importantly, meet a suitable man, they would let her keep building her life in the city. Otherwise, she would sell the house with its hefty mortgage and take her son back to their hometown. Could she ultimately prove herself? Life never goes entirely smoothly, and crossroads are always full of choices. But we must always have the ability to meet each challenge as it comes, and the courage to accept whatever outcome follows.
