After Quitting, I Became the Northeastern Tycoon’s Darling Employee

[One-on-One, Both Leads Pure + Size Difference + Sweet Workplace Romance + Regional Contrast Charm]

Lin Wanwan, a workaholic from Shanghai, joins a major state-owned enterprise after completing her master’s degree. After two high-pressure years, she is diagnosed with moderate depression.

She drags her suitcase to Harbin to see the snow, only to get trapped on the street in a blizzard.

A neon sign reading “Winterfell Machinery” advertises for a design assistant, and on a whim, she walks inside.

At 190 centimeters tall, Zhou Lin looks down at the petite southern girl, who looks like a little snowball. “Can those skinny arms even carry blueprints?”

Later, he’s always slipping hot milk tea into her cold hands and quietly turning down the air-conditioning during meetings.

When he sees her work through the night to fix crucial specifications and save a million-yuan order, Zhou Lin corners her in the workshop:

“Kid, you’re both coming home with me tonight, you and those blueprints.”

When her ex-boyfriend from Shanghai mocks her for “wasting away in some little workshop in the Northeast,”

Zhou Lin pulls the petite engineer, who barely reaches his chest, closer and sneers:

“The patents she designed are worth enough to buy your company. Get it?”
