Eating My Way to a CEO

Food blogger Wu Shiqi signs with Shichen Group and gets one opportunity after another, without marketing stunts or manufactured hype.

That is, until paparazzi post photos of her planting a loquat tree with Shichen's CEO at his private villa. They look intimate, like a married couple of many years.

The whole city is in an uproar.

Rumor has it that Huang Chen is handsome, sinister, and uninterested in women.

Everyone guesses that the CEO is just having a fling with an internet celebrity on a whim.

But no one knows that the two of them go way back.

Shiqi is forced to work for Shichen to pay off a debt, enduring a miserable life of constant oppression.

They've been at each other's throats since childhood, and now Huang Chen is pushing his luck under the pretext of her debt.

Shiqi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. In front of the media, she explains that she only planted the loquat tree because she was doing hard labor at her boss's house. Huang Chen, however, puts an arm around her, acting completely out of character. With tender eyes, he says in a wounded voice, "My wife must be throwing another tantrum."

Shiqi: ?

[The romance]

One rainy night, Huang Chen pins Shiqi against the wall and murmurs hoarsely in her ear, "Shouldn't my loquat tree be bearing fruit by now?"

[Interview 2]

Shiqi is interviewed.

Reporter: What do you think about your husband having dinner with a popular young actress?

Shiqi: I don't think anything of it. I'm not jealous.

Reporter: ...

Shiqi raises an eyebrow at the camera. "Why don't you ask him why he insists on tagging along whenever I meet up with my show's guests?"
