[CEO who overthinks and imagines everything × down-on-her-luck, carefree heroine who just wants to eat]
Gu Hanzhou, the untouchable flower of the business world, was feared throughout the industry and hated being manipulated more than anything. But after he picked up Li Mo at a street-food stall, his worldview began to take a strange turn. She was a girl who’d soaked her Nokia in vinegar and was fretting over five yuan.
Li Mo: “I just ran away from home and ran out of money. I wanted a decent meal.”
Gu Hanzhou, thinking to himself: “The Li family cut off their heiress’s assets and cast her out. What a cruel case of infighting among the rich! She’d rather eat leftovers than bow her head. What admirable spirit!”
Gu Hanzhou unilaterally launched his “CEO-style poverty relief” plan. He thought he was rescuing a distressed canary abandoned by her family, unaware that all she wanted was to make him her permanent meal ticket.
When Li Mo’s Nokia blared an “all-city manhunt” alert, Gu Hanzhou took advantage of the situation, interpreting it as the heroine’s “distress signal” declaring war on her family.
“Since the Li family won’t give you money, I’ll cover your expenses from now on.”
“Does that mean I can eat as much as I want, Mr. Gu?”
“...If I buy the convenience store, will that be enough for you?”
This is a romance between two people on completely different wavelengths. He thinks he’s starring in "The Domineering CEO Falls for Me: A Family Feud", while she thinks she’s in "A Bite of Street Food".
