Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted shark VS sweet-faced, ruthless firecracker

1. Ever since office worker Tong Meng joined Xingyu Group, one of China's top three venture capital firms, everything has gone wrong. Her direct supervisor is an insufferable, demanding capitalist.

Her daily routine:

Bringing coffee: Too bitter.

Ordering lunch: Disgusting.

Accompanying him to a gala: How ugly.

Tong Meng, smiling.jpg: I'll put up with it for the money.

Then one night, when someone made her work overtime at the crack of dawn, Tong Meng finally snapped and went on a furious rant to her best friend:

[Shen the Shark has no heart! He gives me work at three in the morning. Do office workers not deserve to be treated like people?]

[He's having a candlelit dinner with an actress at a fancy restaurant while I'm choking back tears and eating bread as I work overtime in my five-meter-wide rental room!]

[Does he think he's the biggest deal under heaven, and that everyone in the world is his mother? I'm done serving him!!!]

After venting, she waited ages for a reply. When she finally looked up, she saw the shark's profile picture and dropped to her knees on the spot.

Shen Weizhou: [You don't need to come in tomorrow.]

Tong Meng: ...

The person in question deeply regretted it and spent the night writing an 8,000-word apology.

2. Everyone in the industry knows Shen Weizhou, the new head of Xingyu Capital, for his ruthless methods and arrogance. He had barely returned to China when he stirred up a storm.

After reshuffling the company, a little shrimp somehow ended up by his side. Before he could investigate her, she openly introduced herself. Mistaking her for a spy sent by a rival, he made things difficult for her at every turn.

Until the young woman really tried to quit...

Shen Weizhou panicked and feigned calm as he opened her employment contract. "I should remind you that if you resign now, you may lose your 0.1% stake in the company, your year-end bonus worth ten times your salary, and your paid vacations around the world. We'll even have to take back the little house downtown..."

Tong Meng: ...!!!

Boss, I think I can put up with this a little longer!

3. Shen Weizhou had lived a life of ascetic restraint for thirty years, never taking an interest in anyone, like a work machine without feelings. Then he met Tong Meng, and every time he woke in the middle of the night, she was all he could think about.

Some people are like rainbows. You only know they exist once you meet them.

[Weak-looking schemer VS strong but insecure]

1. When Jiang Xian traveled south to Jiangnan, she first met Shen Qingsui beside a temple corridor pavilion. Dressed in a loose white robe, Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist, he had a pure smile and gentle eyes. He was like a bright, clear moon etched into her heart, leaving her unable to forget him.

The next time she saw him, he was lounging elegantly in a round-backed chair beneath the lamplight. She heard that he was the famed young master of the Shen family of Langhui, who had run their ancestral antique auction house since the age of sixteen. He had countless business ventures and a face as handsome as jade. Buddhist beads turned in his right hand, but his heart was as cruel as a demon's, full of schemes.

A marriage contract bound their fates together.

Jiang Xian thought he truly cared for her. She made a string of Buddhist beads by hand as his birthday present, only to discover after an auction that the jade beads Shen Qingsui had bought for an astronomical price were now on the wrist of his unattainable first love.

Only then did she finally wake up to the truth: their marriage was nothing but a sham.

She casually tossed aside the Buddhist beads she'd made for Shen Qingsui.

2. Shen Qingsui considered himself above everyone else. He had no room in his eyes for women or in his heart for romance. He had always thought that marrying Jiang Xian and living out their lives together with mutual respect would be perfectly fine.

Until she left their marriage contract behind and walked out alone into a snowy night. He stood in the bitter wind all night, his eyes bloodshot, and finally realized that he was the one who had fallen in love.

Later, at a gathering with friends, someone noticed the beads around Shen Qingsui's wrist. They weren't particularly fine, and the curious friend asked what era's treasure they were for him to cherish them so much.

Shen Qingsui smiled. "My wife gave them to me."

Thankfully, in the years that followed, he waited for Jiang Xian to return, and willingly bowed his head to her.

He worshipped her in his heart and loved her with all his devotion.
