   Reader note

   I highly recommend Little Orange Cat's new book: After reading the serialized content, my first impression is that the author's skill has improved significantly. My second impression (and it's becoming increasingly clear) is that it's based on the author's personal experience (of course, the rebirth part is definitely not true). It's so professional, so professional, that I feel it could be used as a textbook for entrepreneurship. Among urban entrepreneurial novels, the most difficult to write about is real-world business startups, but the author has depicted these industries with extreme realism and detail, and more importantly, it's not dry at all, but rather seamlessly integrated into a tight narrative. Then there's capital operation, organizational management, and the most difficult aspect—strategic thinking—which simply cannot be written without personal experience. Furthermore, the author's character development and emotional portrayal are absolutely rare in urban novels, both detailed and sophisticated. All the characters are very well-rounded, and the overall feeling is like personally experiencing this entrepreneurial journey in the energy industry. Although it hasn't explicitly touched on national sentiment yet, there's already a clear inclination—national energy security strategy. In short, both in terms of detail and scope, this is extremely rare in current domestic urban novels—I even think it could be adapted into a patriotic TV series. I believe this novel will absolutely not disappoint you!

    This novel theme was so fresh and captivating! The character development is absolutely brilliant; it's the most engaging story I've ever read.

It's clear the author has a very mature approach. Most importantly, it avoids those clichéd female-oriented novel plots, making it incredibly immersive! The male lead is also a perfect fit for me; he's both alluring and innocent, and remarkably upright. Finally, he's not the typical domineering CEO—I'm instantly smitten!

    Love never forgets anyone; perhaps, it arrives at your most unexpected moment. The female lead is an ordinary college student who loves to play, joke, and dream. She almost went down a different path because of her family situation. If the male lead is destiny, then... Meeting the second and third male leads during summer vacation is a fork in the road of fate... And the hidden protagonist, the fourth male lead. The so-called "N Dream Romance" is just several dreams strung together. It's a pure love story with a single female lead and multiple storylines. There's no drama among the sisters, so feel free to read it! [Shocked]

At first, I thought I’d simply run into a poorly managed small company that couldn’t keep its promises: my probation period dragged on, my salary was changed, they failed to pay my social insurance, mishandled my housing fund, and kept putting off raises until next month, the second half of the year, year-end, or after the company reforme 10Reads8.5Score—Shelves

    He wasn't born a rights advocate. At first, he always tried to find excuses for the company, always wanting to save face for the other party, thinking that the company might be in trouble. But the more he backed down, the more the company pushed forward; the more he didn't want to escalate the situation, the more the company felt it was right. It wasn't until his forbearance was taken as weakness and vulnerability that he realized that a gentle approach couldn't solve the problem at all.

    For daughters raised in families with both sons and daughters, the most painful thing isn't your parents' preference for sons over daughters. To paraphrase a line from the TV drama "Empresses in the Palace": Your suffering is yet to come! Because your brother will grow up and marry, you'll have a sister-in-law, and that sister-in-law's family will also have sons! She won't get any property in her own family, so she'll marry into the family to share with you and your brother! People are driven by self-interest; never underestimate human nature, never underestimate what they're capable of for their own benefit! The couple will work on your parents to force you out, since you're not valued by them and are in a vulnerable position. At that time, you won't even have the right to reside there! This article documents the common occurrences where, under the custom of women only being able to obtain benefits through marriage, they rely on men for support, leading to situations where the married woman helps the man exploit the women in his family, the two of them conspire to work on the parents, and ultimately, the entire family—parents, son, and daughter-in-law—mobilize to force the daughter out of the family.

    My acquaintance with him began when he was in high school, renting a room in my family's house with three classmates. For several years, we lived under the same roof. After I graduated, and as he was about to graduate, he sent me his first love letter while I was working away from home, and then relentlessly pursued me. After I was hospitalized due to a car accident, he took care of me like a boyfriend. During my hospitalization, he called me almost every day back when phone calls cost six cents a minute, and he frequently visited me at my home. He believed that sincerity could move mountains, but my heart was made of stone. I only craved his gentleness and consideration, hoping he could become like an older brother to me. After I repeatedly rejected him, he offered to wait for me to marry him, on the condition that he wouldn't interfere with who I dated. But in the end, I still let him down, deeply breaking his heart.
