[Two Comebacks + Fastidious CEO Who Says One Thing and Does Another + Face-Slapping Satisfaction]
Su Ye is an environmental studies student at a second-tier university. By day, she studies in the library and rushes to finish papers. By night, she watches over an old junkyard and scavenges recyclables, all to support her grandmother, who has suffered a stroke, and save up for tuition.
Her hands are rough but deft. She can accurately appraise scrap, refurbish old appliances, and even repair a limited-edition Maybach owned by a top billionaire CEO with her bare hands...
Gu Yanci is the CEO of a top family conglomerate. He’s so fastidious that he disinfects anything that’s touched dust, and can’t stand outsiders coming within a few feet of him. But after Su Ye “rescues” him, he falls for her completely.
When they first meet, he complains that she reeks of scrap and offers her a black card to get rid of her. She shoots back coolly, “The repair fee is 50 yuan. I earn money with my skills, and I don’t accept handouts.”
Later, the fastidious CEO lowers himself to help her bundle cardboard at the junkyard. He can’t bear to throw away his suit even after it gets dusty. On rainy days, he takes the long way in his luxury car to drive her to class, claiming, “It’s on my way,” then secretly organizes her class notes for her.
When her classmates mock her for “being a university student who picks through trash,” she tosses out refurbishing orders and professional certificates. “Making my own money is more respectable than living off your parents.”
When a rival woman sneers, “You think you’re worthy of getting close to Mr. Gu?” Su Ye tears off her hypocritical mask, and Gu Yanci immediately shields her. “I, Gu Yanci, won’t let you tell my woman what to do.”
From junkyard vendor to female CEO of an environmental company, from a poor student working her way through college to a top master’s graduate, Su Ye changes her fate through her own efforts.
Gu Yanci pursues her with humble devotion. “Su Ye, let me support you.”
Su Ye arches an eyebrow and smiles. “No need. Once my company goes public, I could support you instead.”
