He Xiaomai is 23, from the countryside, with only 298 yuan left in her pocket.
On her first day at work, her supervisor tells her to buy coffee, and she can't even tell the brands apart.
“Did you come here to work in the fields?” her colleague teases. “Such a country bumpkin.”
Then Zhang Daming, the marketing manager, suddenly adds her on WeChat. “Someone put in a word and asked me to look after you.”
She's baffled. Who would look after her?
It isn't until a girl named He Xiaomai shows up and calls Zhang Daming “Uncle Zhang” that she understands: the person he was asked to look after wasn't her.
No golden finger, no influential connections. Just an employee handbook and a phone that makes her watch a 45-second ad before playing music.
But who says a blade of grass can't grow into its own kind of person?
This isn't a wish-fulfillment story about a spectacular comeback. It's the story of a girl finding her own way to live, awkwardly but earnestly, in a top-tier workplace.
