[Highlight] This unserious author has no idea what to write next, so they've decided to start over. Updates will probably resume around the end of March, and the original chapters will likely be included at the end as bonus stories.
Also known as: "The Crouching Dragon CEO Wants You to Work for Him"
After failing to find a job again and again, Chen Gong finally crawls back from the jaws of death, only to get conned by his former boss's daughter and end up becoming a hard-working single dad.
A daughter he got saddled with for cheap? No big deal, except she keeps giving him stress-induced chest pains.
While swapping parenting tips, he happens to meet Ji Han CEO Zhuge Liang, whose impressive resume makes Chen Gong's head ache. With his polished credentials, imposing stature, and air of success, Zhuge Liang makes the hapless Chen Gong green with envy.
But Zhuge Liang has one fatal weakness: his boss's son, Liu Shan, is impossible to manage!
Zhuge Liang: Starting a business is hard? Not for me. I offered my plan at Longzhong, and the company went public three years later!
Chen Gong: Your boss's son is hopeless.
Zhuge Liang: The competition is tough? If you'll excuse me, watch me devise a brilliant plan to pacify Wei and subdue Wu!
Chen Gong: Your boss's son is hopeless.
Zhuge Liang: ...You argue with everything. Were you reborn as a professional contrarian?
Zhuge Liang, known as the Crouching Dragon, has the superpower of prophetic dreams. If he wishes, he can quietly alter other people's fates. For the sake of Ji Han, he decides to take a gamble and help Liu Shan become a wise ruler, extending Ji Han's reign by another five hundred years.
To make this plan work, he will use any means necessary to get his hands on anyone who might be useful!
Zhuge Liang sizes Chen Gong up seriously. "You look promising. Come work for me. I'll pay you three times what Cao Cao does."
Chen Gong: "???"

I forgot to save the novel I read in 21 years ago and couldn't find it. Later I searched for Oriental spin-offs and found them one by one. Now my wife has stopped updating them and I have been in the pit for three years.
Alas, it is not advisable to belittle oneself...
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Thank you, teacher. Keep up the good work. This is so funny.
It's interesting. It's just that the pit is a little shallow. I actually feel the taste of reading European and American business literature.
