On his first day at work, Lin Ye gets “special treatment” from the CEO, Shen Qingqing.
No interview, no explanation, just one sentence: “From now on, you work for me.”
She makes him stand instead of sit, orders him to stand as punishment when he’s late, and makes him start over if his coffee isn’t the right temperature. She’s cold, demanding, and intensely controlling. Everyone at the company looks at him with sympathy.
But Lin Ye gradually realizes something is off...
She says his coffee tastes terrible, yet secretly drinks every cup he makes.
She makes him stand in the corner, then sneaks eight glances at him in ten minutes.
She says driving him home is “on the way,” but the map shows she takes a detour of twenty kilometers.
Even stranger, her phone gallery contains every photo of him from high school through university. Her wallpaper is a faded old photograph, and in her wardrobe hangs a little boy’s coat from more than a decade ago.
Granny Shen tells him, “She’s been waiting for someone for fourteen years. That someone is you.”
From beneath the parasol tree at the orphanage to the CEO’s office on the sixty-eighth floor of the Shen Group, she went from a little girl forgotten by the world to the head of a trillion-yuan empire. She did it all just to wait for him to come back.
This is a sweet romance about “a trillion-yuan CEO who’s had a crush on me for fourteen years but won’t admit it, so I can only pretend not to know and wait for her to confess first.”
