Synopsis

My dad spent thirty years laying bricks on construction sites, then fell from a scaffold.

Fifteen years later, I became the youngest general manager at the city's largest building materials group. In front of three hundred people, my father-in-law said, “He's like a son to me.” I thought the hard times were finally over. Three days after we signed a 320-million-yuan bulk procurement contract, the insulation on a construction site injured someone. My name was on every inspection form. The company was at a critical point in negotiations for a major China Construction Group procurement deal, and they needed someone to take the blame. My father-in-law said, “Think of Wanzhi. Think of the child.” So I took the fall. By the time I got out on probation, my position was gone, my family had fallen apart, and every promise had evaporated. I returned to the construction site and started over as a laborer hauling bricks. I could judge a brick by touch, calculate costs from blueprints, and I was the son of a construction contractor, with bones made of concrete. Five years later, I bought the company behind that building. On the day I signed the acquisition agreement, I found a subcontracting order from thirty years earlier in the old files. On the line for the signature at the site where my father fell, I saw my father-in-law's name.

A Truly Feel-Good Female-Focused Novel, No Frustrating Moments at All, No Identity Mysteries

I just want a pure wish-fulfillment story with absolutely no frustrating moments. The female lead shouldn't have too many mysteries surrounding her identity, and there shouldn't be some big boss stronger than her. Ideally, she should be invincible. No romance, please. If there's a couple, it tends to become a case of the male lead being even stronger than the female lead. Male-oriented stories without romance are fine too.
