The Newbie Is Being Slowly Boiled Like a Frog

[One-line summary] A gentlemanly CEO's journey to win his wife back

Mr. Su hired an executive assistant.

She graduated from a top-two university, had a 4.5 GPA, and never ranked below third in her class.

Her written test and interview answers were clear and well-reasoned, and she was humble and polite.

She was also very sweet and cute.

Mr. Su was very pleased.

But he gradually realized that he'd created a problem for himself.

He'd never intended to get involved with someone from his own workplace...

*

The assistant had just graduated when she interviewed for a job at a well-known publicly listed company in the city.

She was very happy with the job, except that her boss set somewhat demanding standards.

Then one day, she realized her direct superior had stopped nitpicking her work and started showing her personal concern instead.

Her friend said her boss was probably just using her for fun and advised her to update her resume and find another job as soon as possible.

The assistant didn't know what to do.

Not long after, while she was looking through offers from other companies,

her boss caught her in the act.

The assistant sprang to her feet and tried to block the screen that Mr. Su had already seen clearly.

She stammered out a greeting: "Mr. Su, I wasn't..."

Her boss's face was cold. "I can give you a chance to turn them down."

Reader's guide:

1. A sweet, lovable newcomer x a mature, steady BOSS

2. Everyday life, office romance, an old-school feel

3. 1v1, happy ending

4. A quick note. Even if a company is open-minded, it generally won't allow a romance between a direct superior and subordinate.

The relationship in this story is purely for the sake of the plot. Please don't apply it to real life.
