The Domineering CEO and the Cold CEO

[The Daily Life of Two CEOs] Jin Li and Ling Yue were high school classmates. In everyone else's eyes, they were top students, athletic stars, rivals, and love rivals (probably?). But right after graduating from high school, they got married at lightning speed, leaving everyone utterly stunned. WHAT? Two number ones can't be happy together! Everyone waited for news of their divorce. But... Seven years later, the two had gone from top students to powerful CEOs, and their marriage was rock-solid and blissful! No, they were absolutely in a loveless business marriage with no emotional foundation. Someone was stubbornly refusing to admit the truth. Seven years had passed. Was the seven-year itch really still so far away? * In business circles, Ling Yue of Lingyun Group and Jin Li of Jintian Group were famous as CEO husbands. One was domineering, the other cold and ruthless. They each pursued their own careers and never worked together. Their companies competed and undermined each other, going so far as to clash head-on, and their marriage seemed on the verge of collapse. Many people watched the spectacle from a safe distance, amused to see them both suffer. But, bafflingly, whenever the husbands crossed swords, it was everyone else who got caught in the crossfire. The two massive groups devoured the spoils like giant crocodiles. Their strength didn't diminish at all; they only grew more powerful! Those unlucky enough to get dragged into it cried out: This makes no sense! * In the villa, Jin Li and Ling Yue leaned close together on the sofa, chatting as they played on their phones. Ling Yue: Hot pot tonight. Jin Li: Mm. Ling Yue: I want a split pot. Jin Li: Mm. Ling Yue: Beef, not lamb. Jin Li: ...Mm. Ling Yue: Add cilantro and celery. Jin Li: ...I'll take the Jianglin Villa project. Ling Yue: ??? [One-line summary: The strong join forces and crush their rivals!] [Reading Guide] 1.
