There is an Echo in the Alley

First Draft Fee

23K0

Lin Tingwan, a new media editor who was banned by the entire industry, fled back to an old Shanghai alley with a cardboard box. A dying public account with 3,000 fans, an attic filled with boxes of instant noodles, and an orange cat named "Fee" are all she has left. She wrote about the old craftsman who repaired pens, the fireworks at the wonton stall, and everything that was disappearing in the alley. Unexpectedly, a feature on a craftsman unexpectedly became popular, and it also broke into a man's ten years of thoughts. Cheng Yanzhou, the youngest partner of Yanshi Capital, has suffered from insomnia for many years. He can only sleep peacefully by reading her words. He is the mysterious reader who leaves only a full stop in the background late at night, the "daddy-long-legs" who has anonymously funded her for ten years, and the person who secretly vetoed the financing of her previous company and shielded her from countless storms. From workplace betrayal to industry shady stories, from old grudges between his parents to two-way redemption, Lin Tingwan uses his pen as his blade and sticks to his original intention. The wind in the alley will take away the hustle and bustle, but it can't take away the warmth of the words, nor can it take away the person who spanned ten years, just waiting for her to come back.
