Li Lanbing graduated from university, failed the civil service exam, and is now unemployed. The only thing keeping her mother and her on good terms is helping out at the family shop.
Her childhood friend and next-door neighbor, Gu Mingruo, is a different story. In a flash, he landed a job at the Wenxuan City Administration for Industry and Commerce.
One day, Li Lanbing was riding her little electric scooter home from the shop.
“Put your helmet on.”
“I’m talking to you. Yes, you.”
As Li Lanbing pulled over to put on her helmet, the police station called.
Her younger brother, Li Shan, had been taken in for fighting.
“Chen Shimei...”
“What are you talking about, Shanzi?”
Li Shan glared furiously at his childhood friend, Gu Mingruo.
Li Lanbing had sent out countless business proposals for a childcare center, only to hear nothing back. At last, she received a reply: “I can invest five million yuan, on the condition that we get married. The marriage will last one year, and if the business loses money, you’ll repay the full amount...”
A year earlier: “Don’t get the wrong idea. This is only to keep my parents off my back.”
A year later: “Can’t you have even the slightest feelings for me?”
“Who is this woman? Those three big shots pacing the corridor outside are the head of Huazhong Bank, the president of Tianshu Group, and Wenxuan City’s second-in-command...”
“I wouldn’t mind getting injured like that...”
The young nurses at Wenxuan First People’s Hospital were gossiping.
