As a CEO, Du Anping didn't care for fine wine or beautiful women, and he didn't even like luxury cars. Every day, all he did was work, play chess, and drink tea, sometimes steeping goji berries in his thermos. He was all about living a healthy life.
He was in his twenties but lived like a man in his sixties or seventies, much to the amazement of everyone in his circle.
But recently, this dull man had followed the young people's example and hired a male college student as his "secretary." Everyone assumed he'd finally changed and discovered the pleasures of life, so a friend called him up.
Du Anping: "Yeah, I hired one."
His friend was frantic. "I thought you didn't like doing that sort of thing. Why would you...? At least make sure he's clean!"
Du Anping: "He's clean. He showers every day."
Friend: "?"
When I type "?" it's not because there's something wrong with me. There's something wrong with you.
Friend: "What did you hire him for?"
Du Anping: "To play chess, obviously! What else?"
Friend: "Nice."
Qiao Chi was the youngest child in the Qiao family. He had an older brother and an older sister. His brother inherited the family business, while his sister became a writer. Qiao Chi couldn't measure up to them, so he decided to lie flat. But his uncle didn't like seeing him laze around, and with a wave of his cane, sent him off to A University.
After three years of lying flat, Qiao Chi fell in love with Du Anping at first sight during a lecture. He asked his older sister for help pursuing him. Having read plenty of melodramatic stories, Sister Qiao immediately wrote him a script.
Qiao Chi: "...Do you really think this will work?"
Sister Qiao: "Trust me, little brother. I did my research. Du Anping has a childhood friend who went abroad, and everyone says she's the one he can never forget. Just follow my script. First become the one he can't forget, and then that supposed one-and-only can get lost. And then you'll have your happy ending."
Qiao Chi was so taken in that he actually followed his sister's advice and pretended to be an innocent, pitiful, impoverished college student. And somehow, he and Du Anping really did end up together.
The first thing he had to do at work was play chess with his boss.
Qiao Chi: This isn't how it was supposed to go!
Impoverished (pretend) college student x calm, easygoing boss who is the recipient
The woman he can never forget is made up, and they're just friends. The ending is happy, but the romance gets pretty complicated. The author has been single since birth, so don't expect too much.
I hope everyone finds someone they love.
