Zhao Jianguo, the process control director of Shenghong Group, has spent his whole life adhering to boundaries, acting with restraint and thoroughness, building airtight interpersonal walls, and never making exceptions for anyone.
Lin Wei, the seconded backbone, is capable and transparent, with a sense of proportion engraved in his bones. He treats others in a distant and gentle manner, understands all the trade-offs and calculations in the workplace, and never clings to the powerful.
During a regular meeting at the headquarters, only Lin Wei noticed the loose buttons on his shirt, and a polite and restrained reminder text message was the first to pry open his strong defense line.
Rumors spread in the workplace. Colleagues in the same group secretly excluded her and planned job transfers to suppress her. Everyone else looked on with cold eyes. Only Zhao Jianguo broke his principles time and time again, protected her in public, granted exclusive authority, blocked the transfer notice against the trend, and was willing to bear the pressure from the top to protect her.
He deliberately distances himself in front of others to avoid suspicion, but hides his turbulent heartbeat in private. Two lonely and self-sufficient adults struggled with each other amidst the strict rules of the workplace and the ubiquitous prying eyes of others.
He had guarded the bottom line of propriety for half his life, but she lost it on all fronts; the defenses she had kept closed for many years were melted layer by layer by his silent preference.
Under the turbulent workplace game, a slow adult love of forbearance and two-way redemption slowly grows.
Purpose: A purely private workplace with no sensitive red lines, focusing on mature adults' measured pulling, two-way gentle healing, no bloody misunderstandings, and a delicate and high-end atmosphere.
