The Boss Wants a Sweet, Naive Secretary

[Character setup: Cunning old fox of a boss x sunny secretary]

As a secretary, even when her boss couldn't stand the sight of her, Hu Pinheng still kept her professional duties in mind: respect the boss, love the boss, and always solve the boss's problems. I love my job!

As she won more and more of her boss's favor, she thought her work ethic had changed him. She worked even harder, giving him her heart along with her efforts, and lost herself in the dream of having both a successful career and a happy romance.

Only later did she discover that it had all been an illusion, a conspiracy.

It was time to leave.

Gong Li never thought he would lose his head over a young woman. Everything had been under his control, but somehow things changed without him noticing.

Only after she left did he realize his world had lost its color.

When they met again, she wore a black strapless tulle gown, swaying gracefully. Every smile and frown captivated him. She chatted and laughed with other people while he kept a calm expression, though jealousy was driving him mad.

"Pinheng, you're mine."

Short scene:

When she first started the job:

What's it like to have a boss who adores me?

I love my job, I love it so much. Work makes me happy!

The boss says one, it's one. The boss says two, it's two. Be a clever little tool, and a promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

After quitting:

Older men are so hard to win over! Aren't cute younger guys better?

"Sis" this, "sis" that, and this big sister's heart is fluttering.

Fast-paced business battle x romantic comedy

The boss started from nothing and is 32 this year. The secretary just graduated and is 22.

Content warnings:

1. The boss has perfect bone structure but terrible skin. He is so devoted to work that his looks and physique are poor in the first half of the book. There is a transformation in the first half. Readers who only like beautiful male leads, beware.

2. Business battles take up a large part of the story, and there's a lot of plot. This isn't a pure sweet romance. There's a career to build.

3. It has a bit of an unconventional substitute romance feel.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations to see things through to the end.
