On the first day that Su Xiaoxing, a 22-year-old visual design graduate, joined Xingmang Creative, a dream school, he poured his cool American style on his direct boss, the cool and outstanding creative director Lu Shiyan. She expected to be severely criticized, but unexpectedly, this "iceberg boss" just said "pay attention next time" and silently helped her clean up the stain.
The road for a newcomer in the workplace is full of challenges: when the source document was missing, it was Lu Shiyan who uploaded it late at night and attached a handwritten reminder; when the design draft was rejected, it was him who took her to milk tea shops to teach "floor-to-ceiling design"; when she caught a cold, it was he who anonymously arranged for cold medicine to be quietly placed at the workstation. He remembered her preference of "three-point sugar without ice", but he was afraid of heights but accompanied her to the top floor to see the advertising space. Under the cold and hard appearance, there was a gentleness that always flowed.
From milk tea promotion projects to luxury goods co-branding, Su Xiaoxing grew rapidly under the protection and guidance of Lu Shiyan, won a design award, and was promoted to a senior designer; and she gradually understood his cold thoughts, from being moved to being side by side. The wine blocking at the celebration party, the confession under the neon lights, the underground love in the office, the aurora date in Iceland... The two have transformed from workplace partners to soul mates. There is no cruelty, only equal support and unconcealable preference.
This is a sweet pet story that begins in a cubicle, about growth, about protection, about how two gentle people turned workplace fireworks into a starry romance.
