To repay the late chairman for giving her a chance, Wen Rurong planned to help the young CEO establish himself within the company.
Before his death, the chairman had always worried that his younger brother would take over the company, suppress the young CEO, and even swallow up his family's shares.
But in his very first month as CEO, the young chairman fired Wen Rurong.
All because Wen Rurong had been too harsh while training the intern under her, the CEO's sweetheart, the original novel's silly, sweet heroine.
Wen Rurong: "..."
The whole company: "!!!"
CEO, have you lost your mind?
The original heroine: "!!!"
Has this guy gone crazy?
The late chairman, roaring from underground: "!!!"

After awakening to the plot, Wen Rurong realized she was in a domineering CEO novel with a groveling arc, and she was the cog silently carrying the company on her back behind the scenes.

On the seventh day of the young CEO's crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening to hang himself to get Wen Rurong back to work, the original novel's biggest villain, the young CEO's greatest rival in the company's power struggle and his uncle, personally drove Wen Rurong home.
Snow fell. The north wind howled. The young CEO stood in the wind, waiting for Wen Rurong.
A few hours later, a black Bentley pulled up downstairs. The window rolled down to reveal a handsome man in a perfectly tailored suit. His profile was touched with cool detachment and aristocratic disdain. "I should thank President Cheng for giving Rurong more room to grow."
Wen Rurong smiled. "You should be polite. He's my employee, after all. He still has to work overtime every day to make money for me."
The young CEO's face darkened.
The original heroine's eyes grew as round as bells: "!!!"
