"Mr. Shi, I'm sorry to meet you in such a sorry state. If I could, I'd wear formal clothes and meet you properly, but this may be my only chance in my life to speak with you."
The first time Gao Fei appeared before Shi Sinian was on a flight back to China. Her trouser legs were muddy, she wore no makeup, and fatigue showed in her eyes.
After graduating and returning to China, she had trouble getting a job at SV because she'd offended someone in HR there. Her resume was always tossed into the trash.
By chance, she recognized the man sitting beside her as SV's CEO.
The flight lasted eleven hours. She had that long to secure a job opportunity.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gao. I'm not working right now."
Shi Sinian politely but coldly declined the resume she offered him.
So Gao Fei stopped bringing up work and instead appealed to his interests, chatting with him about wine.
As it happened, her knowledge of wine earned her the chance to speak with Shi Sinian.
When they got off the plane, Shi Sinian's driver was already waiting outside the airport. It happened to be a typhoon day.
Gao Fei walked through the rain, clutching Shi Sinian's business card in excitement, her faith in SV rekindled.
Later, before Shi Sinian became Gao Fei's immediate superior, he became her drinking buddy. Their conversations were limited to wine.
Until one day, Shi Sinian happened to discover that Gao Fei's knowledge of wine came from her ex, who had studied wine...
For the first time, the cool-headed, decisive Shi Sinian burned with jealousy. He issued an order that night to transfer Gao Fei out of the CEO's office.
Just as everyone thought the company had sidelined Gao Fei, Shi Sinian's car began showing up downstairs right on time to pick her up after work.
Shi Sinian: "Company policy says people in the same department can't date. I can't break the rules, but I want to be your last boyfriend."
Theme: Pursue your dreams. There's nothing wrong with ambition.
