The New Manager Is My Boyfriend

[Blurb]

A new marketing manager parachuted into the South District branch.

He was handsome, and he had connections, which left everyone feeling very unhappy.

After the new manager came aboard, everyone waited to see the director take him down a peg.

But the handsome newcomer showed up earlier than a rooster and left later than a dog.

At the monthly review meeting, he stole the show all by himself, slaying the whole room and blinding everyone's titanium-alloy dog eyes. He was on fire.

The expected showdown never happened.

Instead, Ling Muyuan said to him with a grin, "I'm counting on you for the rest of my life..."

Zhao Yang: ???

Before Zhao Yang reported to the branch, a senior colleague at headquarters told him, "Ling Muyuan is a stern, strict boss who is so demanding he's practically inhuman."

His other colleagues warned him not to touch Ling Muyuan's sore spots, or there would be serious consequences.

But although they gave him a list of almost a hundred things to watch out for, not one of them ever came up.

This famously domineering director, aside from his stern face and fussy work habits, was a complete sweetheart in private.

He would get Zhao Yang out of a jam and bring him meals. He had not a shred of a boss's dignity around him, and seemed like a big, lovable goof.

Zhao Yang: ...This isn't what I expected.

Ling Muyuan: He smells so good...

Zhao Yang: He's so silly...

Ling Muyuan: The boss has to be on top. We can't mess up the chain of command!

Zhao Yang: …???

1. Workplace story, realistic setting, one-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Ling Muyuan x Zhao Yang: straight boss gets seduced and becomes the top, subordinate seduces the boss and is the bottom.

3. Mutual pining, both pretending they're just friends.

Theme: Be an honest person and do things the right way.
