Wen Qing awakened to the truth and discovered she was a cannon-fodder assistant in a CEO novel.
She was the one who delivered flowers, bought medicine, drove people around, took the blame, and delivered condoms whenever the CEO and the innocent heroine got tangled up...
Later, because her parasitic parents left her owing tens of millions, she tried to kidnap the heroine and extort money. The male lead promptly sent her to prison.
And now, she had just gone five million into debt.
Wen Qing: ...
Whoever wants this assistant job can have it!-
*
Fine, she'd be the CEO's assistant.
You had to stay alive, debts had to be repaid, and there was no turning down a high-paying job.
By day, Wen Qing was a beautiful, expressionless office worker. After work, she held down several side jobs and never passed up a chance to make money, including when the CEO summoned her.
Deliver flowers? Sure. She bought out all the flowers from her part-time flower shop, decorated the heroine's place with a sea of blossoms, and took a twenty-percent cut.
Buy medicine? Sure. She didn't know what was wrong with the heroine, so she bought a box of everything and delivered it. Then she returned whatever wasn't needed and charged by volume.
Drive people around? Sure. Your premium ride-hailing driver is at your service.
Take the blame? Sure. The champion complaint-listener is all ears.
Deliver condoms? Sure. The mobile adult shop has arrived downstairs.
After some time, the male lead stared at the several missing zeroes in a certain bank account, deep in thought. He'd only wanted a little romance. How had it turned into a little wastefulness?
And why had all the money gone into Assistant Wen's pocket?!
The male lead was furious and was about to fire Wen Qing, when he discovered that
While running errands, she had poured out the drug the second female lead had given the heroine and replaced it with vitamin C.
While repairing equipment, she'd deleted all the intimate photos of him and the heroine from a paparazzo's camera and replaced them with two hundred high-definition portraits of him.
While cleaning someone's home, she'd swapped the business secrets USB drive stolen by his elder brother, who was fighting him for control, for an entire cartoon series.
As a result, the heroine's health improved by the day, and a famous paparazzo became embroiled in a rumor about secretly pining for a wealthy CEO.
When his brother revealed the business secrets at a meeting with a rival company, a song rang through the conference room:
“Happy, Pretty, Sleepy Sheep, don't look down on me just because I'm a sheep. A sheep's intelligence is beyond your imagination!”
Male lead: Uh.
Assistant Wen, let's discuss a raise and promotion!
*
Just like that, Wen Qing somehow became the male lead's trusted aide.
Not long after, tempted by the high salary, she was sent to spy on the antagonist.
She heard that the antagonist had just taken over, was meticulous and ruthless, and was a terrifying, cold-faced king of hell.
Worried that her income might be affected, Wen Qing prepared herself for anything.
But when she saw the antagonist, they stared at each other in shock.
He was a regular at the pet shop where Wen Qing worked part-time. He had an adorable Maltese with a bow on its head and a little dress on its body. Every time he came in, he bought a strawberry cake from the shop next door, and he loved acting cute and calling Wen Qing “big sister.”
Antagonist: ...
Sis! Real sis!! Just keep this a secret and I'll agree to anything! You can have the whole company!!
Wen Qing: Uh, maybe she could pay off her debt early?
