Does This Goofy Boss Have a Crush on Me?

My next book, My Nemesis, How Did You Become My Uncle?! The blurb is at the very bottom. My ongoing story is Good Bro, How Did You Become the Villain Boss?!

After graduating, Lin Song starts an internship at an internet company. The benefits and pay are great, but the company loves making people work overtime.

Fresh out of college and dirt poor, he rents a place far from work and has a miserable bus ride home every night.

Then one day, he realizes a black car is following him. It trails the bus he takes at the same time and along the same route every day, and when he gets off, the car stops too.

Lin Song: ...

In an instant, all sorts of crime-movie scenes flash through his mind.

Without hesitation, Lin Song calls the police.

After that, a man in a suit starts showing up on the late bus every night. He gets on and tries to pay with a large bill.

Broke Lin Song calmly stops him. "Sir, the fare starts at two yuan. You can tap your transit card or pay with coins. If you don't have change, download the app and scan the code."

The man stares at him, stunned: ...

Pei Ming owns an internet company. He keeps himself to himself and has someone he cherishes deeply. One day, while feeling wistful, he suddenly spots that person at his company.

Pei Ming:!

His friends all offer advice on how to win the person over, even giving him a copy of The Rules of Office Romance.

Rule One: Drive them to and from work to make them feel safe.

Pei Ming does just that. Every night, he follows the other person in his car, leaving only after watching him reach his apartment complex.

After doing this for a while, Pei Ming is feeling rather pleased with himself when the police invite him in for a chat.

Rule Two: Use the bus as an excuse to strike up a conversation. Pretend you don't have change, borrow some from the person you want to approach, then send it back via WeChat. And just like that, you've got their WeChat.

Pei Ming thinks it makes sense, so he tries it the next day.

The other person politely tells him he can download the app and scan a code to pay for the bus.

Pei Ming: ???

What happened to all those chance-encounter tricks?

Lin Song: Times change, and so do we. QR codes are convenient and safe.

A second chance at love, plus a little bit of a groveling pursuit.

Mutual secret crushes.

My Nemesis, How Did You Become My Uncle?! See my profile for details.

Blurb: Qin Shinian is a CEO, if you want to put it nicely. Put less nicely, he's a highly paid wage slave. He goes to bed later than a dog and gets up earlier than a chicken. He attends banquets for networking, can't eat his fill when dining with people, and forces himself to get up and go running in the dead of winter just to maintain his image.

In the end, he dies on the 996 grind for his company.

Now he has two pieces of news.

The bad news is that after dying, he is reborn in a stranger's body. The body is good for nothing, and its owner didn't even finish college.

The good news is that the guy has the same name as him, is an orphan who inherited a huge fortune, and has 200 million in the bank. He can lie flat and live out his days as a lazybones, enjoying retirement early and never having to be a corporate slave again.

On day one of retirement, Qin Shinian drinks, goes clubbing, races cars, and hires male escorts.

On day three, he's reported for illegal trading and hauled to the police station. The person who comes to bail him out looks very familiar.

Qin Shinian, inwardly: Holy crap.

Zhou Muyang was Qin Shinian's childhood friend and nemesis in his previous life. At school, Qin was the second-best-looking guy, and Zhou was first. Qin got into a top-tier university, while Zhou went to Tsinghua. Qin became a CEO, while Zhou inherited the family business and became chairman. Zhou always had one up on him.

Now Qin is stuck in a police station, watching Zhou Muyang come to bail him out.

Qin Shinian: ???

What's going on? I've got another life, and now I'm my former nemesis's eldest nephew, even if it's only by courtesy.

On his Nth day of retirement, Qin Shinian stands in front of Zhou Muyang's bedroom in his bathrobe and says, exceptionally obediently, "Good evening, Uncle Zhou."

Then he watches as the man grabs him by the waist of his robe, smiling as he drags him into the bedroom. "Good boy."

A real lazybones, fake workaholic bottom x a real workaholic, fake lazybones elite top

A longtime secret crush finally comes true.

P.S. There is no adoption or blood relation. The top knew the bottom's father, which is why he calls him Uncle.

Theme: Face life with a positive attitude.
