Director Lu and Her Assistant

A modern workplace romance about an older woman and a younger man. Told from both protagonists' perspectives, it's light and breezy, with a guaranteed happy ending.

The heroine, Lu Yangxue, is 31 and a marketing strategy director at a Fortune 500 computer company. She looks sharp, capable, and decisive. In reality, she has an 80-point-is-good-enough slacker living inside her. She's so lazy that, to cut down on time spent brushing her hair, changing clothes, and putting on makeup, she always wears a fitted dress and bold red lipstick at work. At home, she's in an oversized T-shirt, shorts, and slippers.

The hero, Mu Lingyu, is 24. He's been exceptionally bright since childhood, the kind of kid other parents point to, and an academic star all the way from elementary school through graduate school. Add his striking looks, and he's become utterly full of himself, with poor people skills. After leaving school, he suddenly discovers that society doesn't have a standard answer key, and his arrogant attitude gets him nowhere. Having never faced setbacks before, he suddenly hits the lowest point of his life and retreats into his shell to protect himself. To avoid getting hurt again, he decides to stop trying and become a slacker who wants no part of the world.

The two get into all sorts of funny situations together. The hero gradually discovers the heroine's contrasting sides. Though she doesn't want to work hard, she always steps up and takes charge at crucial moments. Her example inspires him to grow quickly and find his old self again. Together, they take the business world by storm.

Premise: Students fresh out of school can lose their confidence amid the hardships of society. Even high-earning, high-ranking, outstanding women cannot escape the label of being left on the shelf. In the face of life's many difficulties, there's always a voice in our hearts saying, "Forget it," and urging us to give up. But I believe that for someone you love, even a lazy fish can flip itself around and fight!
