[Second Male Lead Takes the Lead] [Man Secretly Loves Woman]
Liang Muwen, the powerful head of the Liang Group, is the hottest new name in the energy industry in Shunjing.
Rumor has it he's taciturn, ruthless, and eccentric, with such severe germophobia that no one can stand him except his personal assistant, Qi Shaojing, who is known for being meticulous and reliable.
Wan Nansheng fell for Liang Muwen the first time she saw him.
Unfortunately, he paid no attention to her relentless pursuit.
When he once again sent his assistant to turn down her invitation, Wan Nansheng looked at the refined, gentle man before her and sighed.
"Sigh, Assistant Qi, why won't President Liang agree to have dinner alone with me?"
"Aw, Assistant Qi, do you think President Liang might be a little interested in me?"
"Sniff, Assistant Qi, why won't President Liang even look me in the eye? Am I not pretty enough?"
Qi Shaojing adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave her a polite, professional smile. He answered courteously and clearly.
"I don't know. Probably not. I don't know."
Wan Nansheng spread her hands helplessly and turned away. "Forget it. There's no point asking you. You're just a tool who stands by and watches."
She didn't notice Qi Shaojing's clenched fist behind his back, or the barely audible "You're pretty."

The Wan family's bankruptcy became the most entertaining joke in Shunjing's wealthy circles.
Wan Nansheng gritted her teeth and attended Liang Muwen's birthday banquet, hoping to use it to make connections for her family.
But as the already corrupt Wan Group collapsed completely with unstoppable force, the once-glamorous eldest daughter of the Wan family had long since become a laughingstock.
"Didn't Miss Wan used to want to chase President Liang? How's that going now?"
Faced with the taunts of people kicking her while she was down, Wan Nansheng swallowed her hurt and kept her head lowered in silence.
"Look over there. The new head of the Qi family has arrived. He's talking to President Liang!"
"When did the Qi family change heads? He looks unfamiliar."
"I heard he's an illegitimate son who suddenly appeared out of nowhere recently."
Wan Nansheng looked up and saw Liang Muwen clinking glasses with the person beside him
A face she knew all too well.
The man in a dark suit descended the steps at an easy, aristocratic pace, taking long strides.
Wan Nansheng watched him stop in front of her and hold out a hand.
Qi Shaojing smiled gently. "What are you standing there for? Come here. Aren't you going to make our relationship public?"
Amid the crowd's teasing, Wan Nansheng clearly heard the poison in Qi Shaojing's whisper as he leaned close to her ear.
"Pardon me, Miss Wan."
"But it seems that now you're left with no choice but to rely on me, your tool who just stands by and watches."
