On her first day at the company, Shen Qingci discovers her boss Zhou Mo's secret: he's using the company's sophisticated algorithms to model its most valuable employees, and in his eyes, she's the perfect “exceptional sample.”
The stock options, privileges, and extraordinary closeness he offers are all coolly converted into KPIs and recorded in her quarterly report: “Mr. Zhou, I've turned your emotional investment into 137% growth in performance. For the next phase, please take a look at my new project pitch.”
While the whole company bets she'll eventually give in to the title of “Mrs. Boss,” she instead slides a business plan for a new company across the table to him.
“You're changing jobs?” For the first time, he loses his composure.
“No,” she says with a smile. “I'm inviting you to become my co-founder.”
What began as a business deal becomes a game of strategy, and in the end they win something more precious than love: a kingdom they build together.
It's still pretty cool, but I don't know what will happen next.
