Did Assistant Zhou Succeed Today?

Zhou Qingqing is an assistant.

A hapless assistant who works overtime around the world all year long with the CEO, has her year-end bonus docked when he takes his anger out on her, and gets chewed out on a regular basis.

And Wen Siyi is the cold-blooded capitalist who doesn't care if his employees live or die, exploiting and oppressing his subordinates without mercy.

Zhou Qingqing is more than just an assistant. She's the eldest daughter of the Yu Group, a fact that has never been made public.

Everyone knows the Wen Group is the Yu Group's greatest rival, and the two companies have always been at each other's throats. To beat the Wen Group, her unreliable father sent her to work there and sabotage the Wen Group's heir.

Break his heart, wear him down physically, and exhaust him mentally so he can't focus on work. Most importantly, ruin his engagement to the Li Group.

So Zhou Qingqing became the Wen Group heir's assistant for a year.

But after a whole year, the Wen heir hadn't been worn down in the slightest, physically or mentally!

In fact, every day he sneered at her and called her a pretty face.

"Your outstanding performance, far beyond the norm, will make me a laughingstock in the industry for having a pretty-face assistant."

Seeing how useless she was, Zhou's father summoned her home, furious that she hadn't lived up to his expectations, and decided to arrange a marriage alliance for her to counter the Wen Group.

At a glittering banquet, Zhou Qingqing wore a sexy, waist-hugging gown that revealed her fair, delicate back. With black hair and red lips, she was radiant in every glance.

She pulled herself together and sized up the eligible young men her father had found for her, one after another.

She had just accepted an invitation from a man and was about to walk toward the center of the ballroom when the heavy doors were suddenly pushed open from outside. The noisy ballroom fell silent.

Wen Siyi strode toward her through the crowd, his presence icy. He grabbed her wrist and closed his eyes for a moment, his voice low.

"You succeeded in breaking my heart, Zhou Qingqing."

"If you're marrying for an alliance, I'll marry you."

-- Did Assistant Zhou succeed today?

-- She did.

#I wanted to ruin your engagement, not get engaged to you#

#The most sophisticated business battles use the simplest methods#

#The proud one bows his head# #Chasing his wife#

Wen Siyi: For my whole life, I was lost in endless night, until I met you, and at last there was a morning.

Scheming, sharp-tongued, ambitious man x gorgeous, lazy woman

Coming soon: I Envy Not the Moon

Jiang Xianli was an ordinary girl.

She had never worn silver bracelets, visited a children's castle that cost 400 yuan per person, or gone to Disneyland.

In high school, she lived with Yun Zhiwei, and for the first time, she saw what a princess was like.

Yun Zhiwei was beautiful, kind, and adorable. She took Jiang Xianli to all kinds of parties with her friends and showed her a world she'd never known.

That was also the first time Jiang Xianli saw him.

He greeted her with a clean, slender hand, noble and gentlemanly. He came from a prestigious family with an illustrious background.

She knew they were worlds apart, people from completely different worlds.

So she had the good sense to keep her distance.

She locked her feelings away in a diary.

After graduating high school, they never saw each other again.

Jiang Xianli got into a prestigious university. She never let up after starting college, winning a national scholarship every year. After graduating, she earned a high salary in a respectable job.

Everyone said she had made something of herself, a phoenix that had flown out of a poor nest.

Yun Zhiwei praised her too, saying that in their high school class, few people had been better than her.

Later, her father showed her half of a jade pendant and told her that their family had once arranged a childhood betrothal with the Chen family.

The Chen family had taken the initiative to bring up fulfilling the engagement.

The Chen family's ancestors had once done their family a great kindness. They couldn't be ungrateful.

She just hadn't expected her childhood betrothed to be him.

When they met again, his tone was unfamiliar. "Jiang Xianli?"

Jiang Xianli clenched her fist and said the first thing that came to mind: "Hello. If you want to call off the engagement, I have no objection."

Chen Yuchen: "The Chen family keeps its promises."

"So do I."

A woman with an unrequited love

Reunion after years apart

Xianli envies not the moon,

Hard to Win

The day after a meeting, Huo Jingwen walked out of the company when a cute little kid suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wrapped both arms around his leg, and called him Daddy in a sweet little voice.

Huo Jingwen frowned and said coolly, "You've got the wrong person."

Then he walked away without a second thought.

The second time was at a mall. The little brat, wearing overalls, ran over again with a cheerful smile, hugged his leg, and called out excitedly, "Daddy!"

"You've got the wr--"

The rest of his words caught in his throat.

A woman dressed in matching parent-and-child outfits with the kid hurried over and crouched down in front of him, gently scolding, "Sweetie, don't run off here. Stay close to Mommy, okay?"

Huo Jingwen sneered. Wasn't this the ex-girlfriend who had vanished after dating him for three months?
