Nan Yi, project director at Tong'en Medical, has an extraordinary resume. Thanks to her iron-fisted approach and the boom in new drugs hitting the market, she climbed the ranks faster than a rocket.
With the general manager nearing retirement, everyone at the company was saying she would be the next to take the position.
But three months later, Nan Yi's hopes were dashed. The new general manager was Lu Zeyou, the heir to the Lu Group.
His handsome face kept him a fixture in entertainment news, and all the female employees swooned over him. Nan Yi wasn't buying it, though. She decided to work herself to the bone and crush this “parachuted-in hire” with her performance.
Nan Yi: “Mr. Lu, we're still 15% short of our annual business target. Aren't you worried?”
Lu Zeyou: “I'm so worried I ended up in the hospital. Come take care of me.”
Nan Yi: “A competitor sent Mrs. Tang an outrageously expensive necklace. We may not be able to keep her company's orders next year.”
Lu Zeyou: “Here's the catalog for the Zurich auction. Pick one you like.”
As she kept working herself to the bone, something started to feel off. How had she become the person with the highest approval authority in the company?
The day after the two parted on bad terms, the HR director sent Lu Zeyou's resignation request through the office system.
HR director: [Mr. Lu wants to resign again. Is the company about to go bankrupt?]
In the dim stairwell, Nan Yi confronted Lu Zeyou with an expressionless face. “I've already withdrawn your resignation request.”
Lu Zeyou trapped her in the narrow space with his arms. “You don't like office romances. If I resign, I kill two birds with one stone.”
Nan Yi: ...
She wanted to be the general manager, not to “do” the general manager.
A career-minded woman who'll make him regret it the hard way if he has no connections to back him up, and a lovesick man who's secretly adored her for years but accidentally stole his wife's job
[Bonus Scene]
Her colleagues were all outraged on Nan Yi's behalf because Mr. Lu kept finding fault with her more and more often.
In the general manager's office, Nan Yi sat on Lu Zeyou's lap, her lips abnormally red. “Don't do personal things during work hours.”
Lu Zeyou: “I haven't kissed you enough yet.”
Nan Yi shoved his arms away. “We have a video conference in a minute.”
Lu Sizhou: “If you won't let me kiss you, I'm writing my resignation letter...”
Honestly, enough already! What kind of general manager throws a tantrum, makes a scene, and threatens to resign?
