Lin Yu worked as Gu Chengchuan’s chief secretary at Yuanchuan Capital for three years.
She could bring an out-of-control meeting back on track, turn last-minute changes into actionable checklists, and shield everyone from the worst possible outcome before panic could set in.
Everyone thought she would always stand behind Gu Chengchuan.
Even Gu Chengchuan himself thought so.
Until the day of the financing meeting for the Yunwan Old Town redevelopment project, when Lin Yu handed in her resignation along with a ninety-page transition manual.
For the first time, Gu Chengchuan realized that his supposed control had always rested on one unspoken assumption: Lin Yu would never leave.
But this time, Lin Yu was perfectly clear-headed.
She wasn’t acting out of spite, nor was she playing hard to get.
She had simply decided to put “Lin Yu first” instead of “Mr. Gu first.”
Gu Chengchuan remained calm on the surface, but behind the scenes, he was beginning to lose control.
The more thoroughly she handed over every process, the more clearly he understood: this wasn’t responsibility. It was goodbye.
