Name: Jin Yuanyuan’s Life at the Top
Author: An Xiyue Is Me

Synopsis

[Winner of the Special Recognition Award at the Eighth Realistic Fiction Web Novel Contest]

In an age of cutthroat competition, the “only daughter from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai” has become the dream package for office workers. These women not only come from wealthy families and hold degrees from prestigious overseas universities, but also have open-minded perspectives on the world.

Yet even Jin Yuanyuan, an “only daughter from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai,” suddenly found herself laid off. Returning to the family business brought a different kind of awkward predicament: the Jin family was a mess, Jin Yaya Hosiery Factory couldn’t make payroll, and their competitors were impossible to handle... At a turning point in her life, she took a chance, armed with a 30-million-yuan wager contract she had signed in a fit of anger with her mother.

Diao Yu Zhi Shui Loves Reading

Recently, while in Huangzhou, I traveled through the Qi River on a spring night. I stopped at a tavern for a drink, and after becoming drunk, followed the moon to a bridge over a stream. I loosened my saddle, rested my head on my bent arm, and slept drunk for a short while. When I awoke, dawn had already come. Mountains crowded together in disorder, and the flowing water rang out clearly. I wondered whether I had left the mortal world. I wrote these words on the bridge pillar.

Working Toward an Excellent Book List

The affairs are unchanged, but people's hearts differ. Tell me, how many times has the Central Kingdom ultimately been divided and reunited? No one cares for a sweat-blooded horse pulling a salt cart, while a thousand miles away they merely collect the bones of fine steeds. My eyes reach the end of the road, where the passes and rivers are cut off. I admire you most for dancing with a sword in the middle of the night, saying, “A man should have a heart of iron until death.” Let us see what you c

A Book List That Can Change the Second Half of Your Life

From the western tower above Jinling, I lean into the crisp autumn air. The sunset stretches across ten thousand miles, sinking as the great river flows. The Central Plains are in turmoil, the court nobles scattered. When will it all be restored? I can only ask the mournful wind to carry my tears past Yangzhou.
