Short-tempered puppy VS sharp-tongued boss
SC/HE/Old flames reunited
After the disappointment of failing several major exams, Chi Qing carefully picked out a company to work for.
The most important thing, after basic benefits, was that there would be no overtime!
Before starting the job, she thought she had found a great place to work.
After starting, Chi Qing just wanted to blow the place up.
After a full week of working overtime until the early hours, Chi Qing looked at the clock in the bottom-right corner of her screen and could no longer hold back her fury.
Her curses, each nastier than the last, echoed through the peaceful, quiet office.
She spared no one, from the boss to the clients.
"Go *@*#\*t yourself! You rotten boss! Let me go home!"
Just as Chi Qing was getting carried away with her tirade, a figure appeared faintly on her screen. She turned around and nearly ended up in the hospital with a workplace injury.
Not only did overtime haunt her like a ghost, but so did her ex-boyfriend.
Who could have guessed that Lu Jixiao would become her direct supervisor...
Chi Qing used to trade barbs with Lu Jixiao, but now that she saw him, she could only keep her head down and behave.
She didn't want to lose this job before getting fired for cursing out her boss.
Until one work trip, when Chi Qing narrowly lost at a game of truth or dare.
Her coworkers picked someone from her contacts and told her to call and confess her love.
"That awful ex-boyfriend? You still have his number? Then he's the one. Go on, Qing."
Before Chi Qing could refuse, the call had already gone through.
The next second, the phone of the man seated at the head of the table began to vibrate. A coworker glanced over and was left dumbfounded.
The caller ID read: Qingqing the Great 💓
Chi Qing wished she could die. She sat stiffly, her toes curling with embarrassment.
At the end of dinner, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. But her boss and ex-boyfriend, who had seemed so nonchalant all evening, was waiting outside to catch her unawares.
"What?" Chi Qing glared at him.
Lu Jixiao had his hands in his pockets. What he said was as irritating as he was: "Wasn't that a confession?"
"Say you like me, and I'll forgive you."
The clouds clear and the rain stops. You are that shade of sky blue that arrived late.
Lots of author-invented details / lighthearted, sweet comedy / beautiful mental state / making the best of hard times as overworked wage slaves
Male lead is not a domineering CEO, just a high-level wage slave / reunited at the start
*The phrase "The clouds clear and the rain stops" comes from the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
