Su Wanning, the youngest project manager in the M&A Department of Hengyu Group, worked 2,000 hours of overtime in three years and won the largest M&A case in East China for the company. However, on the eve of the celebration, he was kicked out by Vice President Zhang Mingyuan for "leaking commercial secrets."
Overnight, she was reduced from a workplace elite to an industry laughing stock. All her efforts three years ago from a monthly salary of 8,000 to an annual salary of 500,000 were in vain.
In a desperate situation, a mysterious headhunter email changed her fate.
Gu Shen, the founder of Dingsheng Capital - a financial legend who never appeared in public and had a net worth of 30 billion - personally extended an olive branch to her: an annual salary of 3 million, a job promotion of two levels, and only one condition - to return to Hengyu and personally send Zhang Mingyuan to prison.
Su Wanning signed the contract and became Gu Shen's "chess piece" in Hengyu.
But she soon discovered that things were not as simple as they seemed. Zhang Mingyuan is just the tip of the iceberg. The real man behind the scenes is Gu Shen's ex-girlfriend Jiang Lan, the vice president of Dingsheng Capital. A high-level game spanning two top companies and involving tens of billions of capital is quietly unfolding in the dark.
And she is the most critical piece on this chessboard.
From using each other to fighting side by side, from testing each other to sincere delivery, Su Wanning and Gu Shen got closer to each other and the truth step by step in the shadow of the business war.
But Jiang Lan is more dangerous than they imagined. Not only does she have a strong capital network, but she also holds a secret that can destroy all the bargaining chips of Gu Shen and Su Wanning.
When love becomes a weakness, when trust becomes a bet, Su Wanning must make a choice - to be a heart at the mercy of others.
