[Main story complete!]
1.
Jiang Qiao was the only secretary who had managed to work for more than three years beside his tyrannical boss. He owed it to his flawless work and exceptionally steady temperament.
His boss was feared by everyone: cold-blooded, imposing, ruthless, and decisive.
Jiang Qiao was no exception. If he didn’t urgently need money for his younger sister’s studies abroad, he would have flipped the table too.
One day, Jiang Qiao got a message from his mother:
【Son, it’s confirmed, they’re demolishing it! At least this much in compensation [OK hand]】
When Jiang Qiao received the message, he was in a late-night video meeting called by his boss.
The boss was tearing into his subordinates one by one for their poor work. No one was getting any sleep.
Jiang Qiao glanced at the demolition notice. In the dead silence, he interrupted his boss with a derisive snort.
His boss frowned. “Got a problem?”
Jiang Qiao smiled mockingly. “You’re getting more and more impatient with me. You weren’t like this when we first met.”
His boss: ?
At the year-end review meeting, the boss opened with, “Today is a special day.”
Jiang Qiao interrupted him with a cold laugh. “Do you even remember what day it is?”
The boss’s face grew even colder.
Jiang Qiao kept laughing coldly. “Of course you don’t. Today is the anniversary of when we started working together.”
His boss: ?
Jiang Qiao was delighted. He happily waited for his severance package, then the demolition compensation.
2.
One day, Jiang Qiao suddenly got a call from the police:
Recently, fraudsters have been posing as property developers and tricking elderly people into investing under the pretext of demolition. Everyone, please stay alert.
Jiang Qiao: ...?
Then he looked at the account that had been emptied overnight and at his mother, beating her chest in anguish.
Jiang Qiao hastily deleted his resignation letter. Chin in hand, he furrowed his brow, his face shrouded in gloom.
Just then, his boss appeared, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Jiang Qiao had already thought of what to say to save face, but before he could open his mouth, his boss frowned at him.
“What’s wrong now, you little troublemaker?”
His boss began listing things off like a general rallying his troops:
“My attitude is perfectly fine. I’m not impatient.”
“Today isn’t our work anniversary, either.”
“I’m not canceling your project. Even if it costs me money, I’ll let you finish it.”
Jiang Qiao frowned too. Something was off. This had to be a trick.
His boss sighed impatiently.
“Why are you sulking? If you have something to say, just say it.”
Jiang Qiao: “Why don’t you... guess?”
His boss remembered the resignation letter he’d seen by chance, and softened his tone a little.
“Starting today, the company is adding a new rule: employees are forbidden from giving their boss the silent treatment.”

The Professional Ex-Wife, Please Leave a Good Review
1.
Lu Shanping had held the title of top salesperson for years. From the day he started, he had never received a bad review, thanks to his dedication to service and tireless hard work.
The price was working himself to death.
He followed the trend and transmigrated into a book.
Good news: The original owner had several excellent assets.
Bad news: Every one of those assets was his ex-husband.
According to the original story, after graduating from the Gold Digger Academy, the original owner spent his days ingratiating himself with the powerful. Thanks to his impressive skills, he married into a wealthy family, then promptly absconded with the money.
When Lu Shanping transmigrated into the book, his ex-husbands were pulling every string they could, vowing to find the gold digger and chop him up to feed the dogs.
Lu Shanping scorned the original owner: A disgrace to the profession!
Lu Shanping clenched his fist: A top salesperson gives five-star aftercare, too!
2.
In the skyscraper overlooking the whole city, Lu Shanping lay beneath Ex-Husband Number One. At the height of passion, he breathed softly into his ear:
“Ex-hubby, the divorce papers say we’ve cut all ties, but my body is still saying it misses you.”
For the first time, the aloof and self-controlled Ex-Husband Number One lost control.
At a star-studded banquet, Lu Shanping sat beside Ex-Husband Number Two, teasing and flirting with a winsome smile.
“Even though we’re divorced, for the sake of your career, everyone will always think we’re the perfect couple.”
The arrogant and capricious Ex-Husband Number Two held the person in his arms tightly, saying nothing as he struggled to contain himself.
On a custom-made grand piano, Lu Shanping’s body made the black and white keys fall into disorder. Gritting his teeth, he said to Ex-Husband Number Three:
“Don’t do this. I’m only here to see the child.”
The elegant and refined Ex-Husband Number Three sent away the pet they had raised together. That night, his whole temperament changed.
3.
Seeing how pleased his ex-husbands were with him, Lu Shanping knew it was time to close the deal.
He left all three of them a text, then vanished without a trace:
【If you’re satisfied with my service, I hope you’ll leave a good review. Have a wonderful day.】
But Lu Shanping never expected his grand enterprise to suffer its biggest setback.
His ex-husbands pulled every string they could. Missing-person notices played around the clock on the radio, on the news, and on giant screens in public squares.
Ex-Husband Number One: 【If you’re not back in the 24-hour remarriage window, I’ll see you at 12315.】
Ex-Husband Number Two: 【Ex-wife, hello. Do you like my big public complaint?】
Ex-Husband Number Three: 【My dear ex-wife Ping, long time no see. You’ve probably received my complaint by now. Don’t worry, you have plenty of time to come back to me before it’s processed.】
Lu Shanping: ^_^???
Theme: Face life’s setbacks with a positive attitude. Fear neither wind nor rain.
The only advantage of Brother Boss is that he is a healthy muscular pig [Shut up] (Don't scold me if the author writes this)
I feel more and more that Huo is crazy. He can't see the future of the two protagonists. I'm almost climbing the wall as the second male lead.
This is how we, Mr. Huo, guard against this and that [bad laugh]
Can that tool girl stop showing up again? I really can't stand it. The protagonist should actually be a very confident one. I am very confident in my profession, but I feel less confident in what I write later, and my character design is always OOC. I really can't watch it
Hahahahaha, those who didn't know thought the couple were getting divorced [laughing and crying][laughing and crying][laughing and crying]
The second male lead is so good... How could he lose?
Working as a cow or horse during the day and working as a duck for the boss at night, who wouldn't run away?
Boss, I really think it's more enjoyable to have the male lead and the female partner together than the current officialdom. I only represent my personal opinion. If you don't like it, don't criticize me. Thank you [please] [please] [please] [please]
Don't have a long mouth. . There are still bloody disasters
Finished spreading flowers! The young couple will always be sweet! Looking forward to the extra episode [Spreading Flowers]
