This is a story about being "brought back to the world by love", but it is written in a non-sensational way and relies entirely on details. In many workplace emotional novels, the workplace is the background and emotion is the main line. But this book is different - the relationship between Shi Xiaoran and Jiang Shengzhou grew up while fighting side by side. He taught her to read reports, analyze data, and deal with the board of directors; she brought a lunch when he was most tired, and brought her daughter into his world when he was most lonely. Their relationship is not "love at first sight" or "hero saves beauty", but from teacher and student to comrade-in-arms, from comrade-in-arms to confidant, from confidant to irreplaceable person in each other's lives - every step is supported by a solid plot. This way of writing "Tacit understanding in the workplace nourishes emotions" makes the emotional line not suspended, not bloody, and not industrial saccharine. These two people came together because they appreciated each other, needed each other, and redeemed each other. Jiang Shengzhou is the most successful character. He is not a "boss" in the traditional sense. He is professional, decisive, and strategic, but also tired, lonely, and traumatized. His "cold-blooded" is the outer shell, and "Chiang Butcher" is the label given to him by the outside world, but readers, like Shi Xiaoran, see the softness under that outer shell. The most touching thing is his "presupposition" about himself - "My life will end at the age of fifty." This is not pretentious, it is that he has truly set a destination for himself. The appearance of Shi Xiaoran made him waver. Shi Xiaoran is the most immersive and growth-oriented heroine. She is not a "perfect heroine". She was divorced, had a baby, had a career break, and was once in embarrassment. But she's tough, smart, and resilient. Her growth is not a "sudden cheating", but a step by step - from taking notes to making models, from making models to independent reporting, from independent reporting to managing a center, from management to checks and balances, games, and taking charge of herself. Looking forward to the follow-up story.
A GMA who is divorced and has a baby meets a middle-aged MD who is aggressive and decisive on the outside but broken on the inside. She thought he was teaching her how to grow, but in fact he was secretly learning how to live. This is not literature about bosses, nor is it literature about workplace pleasure. This is a true record of two scarred people getting closer bit by bit in daily details. This story is full of tension but not ambiguity of industrial saccharine. It has a workplace game that is so real that it makes your scalp numb. It also has the stamina to make you lose sleep, feel distressed, and can't help but watch it again after watching it. Please prepare tissues - not for torture, but because he is still smiling and insisting even though it hurts so much. If you also want to know—— How does a person who doesn't even believe in himself learn to live again? How does a single mother with a child live in a way that others dare not mess with? Please give "Forty Confused" a chance. It's worth all your late nights and tears. This is not a story about "the prince saves Cinderella". This is a story about how two dusty adults built a bridge with each other on the ruins.
The setting of this book is really novel. The forty-year-old protagonist is a setting rarely seen in online novels. Most of them have happily watched the rest of their lives by the age of thirty or so. The age of forty really arouses my curiosity and deep thought. Unlike those who are thirty-year-old, who are successful and happy, they are just like chicken feathers. An unhappy marriage brings harm to one person, but an unhappy marriage between two different people can be redeemed by each other when they get close to each other. The age of forty is not only the end, but also a new starting point.
Many people can be pulled back, not because of how attentive the person who pulled them is, but because that person's heart took the initiative to reach out and pull them back. Now it seems that the male and female protagonists are not only talking about the children, it's great.
Just two days ago, I was very happy that Master Xiaojiang agreed to his promise, and Xiaoran's work progress was also very smooth, and it was like a scene of double harvest in career and love. Who would have thought that Master Xiao Jiang's illness would be discovered all of a sudden. Xiaoran felt distressed, and so did I. From the beginning, I knew that the main characters in this story were all middle-aged, and the subject matter was more grounded in reality. It would not be as beautiful as in fairy tales, but when the impact of reality came one after another, I still couldn't help but feel worried. I hope that both Xiaoran and Master Jiang will go smoothly in the future. They have endured enough hardships ahead!
I feel deeply when I look at it. It's not easy in the workplace and it's not easy in the family. I'm all looking for peace among the chicken feathers on the floor. I grow up slowly, with joy, bitterness, healing and pain. This may be the tribulation of forty years old.
The writing is very delicate, with both emotions and careers developing. It really describes the rationality and restraint of middle-aged people's love. I love it lightly, but it is actually sweet. Looking back to savor it carefully, it is also memorable. I love Jiang Shi CP hehe.
A divorced working mother with a baby and an elite boss in despair, clumsily approach each other in a miserable life, and use a seventy-year-old promise to brighten up their broken lives. I love reading this kind of story. The author writes more [Blow Kiss][Flow Kiss]
Breaking away from the cliché plot of a boss falling in love with me, the protagonist is no longer a young girl, but a divorced single mother with a baby, Shi Xiaoran. The male protagonist is not a CEO who contracts a fish pond with a wave of his hand, but is in a difficult situation trapped in life. Two injured adults clumsily get close to each other in the workplace, and use their agreement to light up each other's gloomy lives. This mutual healing emotion is even more touching. Let me sigh, the author's workplace dramas are really down-to-earth and not floating. What the male bishop gives to the female protagonist can basically be seen in the real boss, and sometimes it can embody the feelings of subordinates like Wang Li.
He is both a teacher and a friend, and he is also the person who makes her heartbeat; It seemed like a dream, like an illusion, like the ripples that stirred the deep pool in his heart. The meeting between the two seems to be a long time coming, but as long as their hearts are close and their fates are intertwined, isn't this the best arrangement in the world? No matter where the mountains are high or the roads are far away, we all rush to meet our loved ones every year. When he met her, got to know each other, and stayed together, everything was just right.
The 40-year-old life countdown was gently caught by a 70-year-old agreement. It turns out that the real redemption is not a grand rescue, but the despair of someone hiding you in a drawer, which slowly turned into the expectation of going to the sea together.
It's really heartbreaking! Tired of the suspended and brainless domineering sweetheart novels, this kind of two-way redemption for adults is the most touching. The two heal together in the workplace, dismantle despair with gentleness, and clumsily stay together to support each other. It is delicate and healing. Read it in one go and update it quickly.
This book is never just about love. It is the reconciliation of middle-aged people, shaking hands with the pain of the past, giving up the countdown to life and picking up the future of decades. It turns out that no matter how old a person is, if he meets the right person, he can regain the courage to face the world.
I don't know if it's because I'm older, but now I like to watch this kind of story about guiding lovers, where you're strong and I'm not bad at all. Finally, it's no longer about the boss falling in love with the stupid and sweet me. The heroine is very capable. They redeem each other and make progress together. It's good to watch, but not enough.
This marriage and love story is so realistic and the writing style is so delicate. It's so beautiful! [Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss]
A very prominent point in this work is the frequent use of golden sentences, which shows that the author is a very experienced person. In addition, many character interactions and plot developments are very atmospheric and realistic, and I am also deeply moved.
The emotions and details between the lines are so delicate. The career line and the emotional line run in parallel in both directions. I like each one very much, especially the emotional line. The two are close to each other and redeem each other.
Two middle-aged people who are riddled with wounds, do not talk about love or love, they just want to pull each other out of the quagmire.
Crazy support for Jiang Shengzhou, he can win in the hall and in the kitchen, he is a good Chinese man
One has been trapped by fate for many years, and the other is divorced and has a child. They cherish each other on the road to redemption, and agree to watch the sea and bring him back to reality to give him love [Adoration]
Two scarred adults clumsily redeem each other in the workplace, which is heartwarming and touching.
There was no industrial saccharine, it was full of the highest level of mutual redemption for adults. He thought he was teaching her to grow up. In fact, she is teaching him - alive, super beautiful
A very touching article, the text is full of the smell of human fireworks, it is rare to find such a good article [like] [like]
The settings of the single mother and the depressed elite are very poignant. The two injured adults heal each other, and the workplace lines are also down-to-earth. It is very immersive to watch.
The character design is very interesting. The single mother and the broken elite collide with each other to create different sparks. Great!
The content is substantial and interesting, and the story of mutual redemption is very close to reality.
The writing is so good, finally it's not the cliche boss who fell in love with me, it's so beautiful that I love to read (⑉°з°)-♡
Hahaha, I was just thinking about why we haven't seen our Mr. Jiang drive for so long, so here's what I wrote [Learned] Also, why don't you write about our Xiaoxue? Is it because Xiaoxue is not worthy? [Almost crying]
The broken middle-aged life is healed by a belated agreement, the female protagonist is divorced, the dilemma of raising a child, the male protagonist is lonely under the harshness, and the setting of mutual warmth is so heart-wrenching.
Two adults who have been hurt by each other, meet and redeem, wonderful encounter and fate, quite interesting
