Wu Xue, 28 years old, graduated with a second bachelor's degree, and has been drifting to Beijing for five years. She is still an ordinary clerk in the president's office. Gossip in the tea room, notice of layoffs, and the landlord's deadline to move out—these three things hit her on the same night. Standing in front of the convenience store eating oden and looking at the bright lights in the office building opposite, she made a decision: she would no longer be a frog in warm water.
Three months later, she became a probationary assistant to Lin Jiamu, the president of a listed technology company. On the fourth day after joining the company, she boldly pointed out the strangeness of the company's investment three years ago; in the first week, at the acquisition negotiation site, she met her first high school love whom she hadn't seen for ten years - the top grader who once said he would be admitted to the same university as her, and is now the vice president of the other investment bank.
One is a person from the past, and the other is the current boss. One wants to help her, the other wants to use her. But in that pile of old financial files, she discovered a secret that could subvert two companies.
This is not a Cinderella comeback story. This is the story of an ordinary girl who finally learned to take herself seriously before she turned thirty.
