Hello, First Girlfriend

In Nanjing in the late autumn of 2023, at the Nanjing R&D Center of Xingyao Internet, the ordinary overtime night of technical backbone Chen Ran was completely overturned. When the elevator door opened, his unforgettable first love in high school and his only ex-girlfriend - Lin Ruochu - stood in the door. This unexpected reunion was accompanied by coffee spilled on the floor and frozen air. However, fate's joke is far from over. Lin Ruochu was actually recruited by the company with a lot of money, and came by air to become the department manager of his direct boss. Former lover, now boss. The huge gap in identity threw both of them into the whirlpool of cold reality: Lin Ruochu, known for his efficiency and ruthlessness, took a new name and a resolute style to lead the core project "Tianshu" that determines the company's fate; while Chen Ran was not only a key pillar of technical breakthroughs, but also deeply trapped in the torn between old emotions and current status. In the context of Nanjing, a city that interweaves rich history and modern edge, they are forced to dance together under strict workplace rules. Past emotions are like deep shadows at the bottom of the Qinhuai River, always emerging quietly through the gaps in the code, cold morning meetings, and cruel KPI pressure. Carrying the scars and transformations of their respective decades of growth, they embarked on a process full of restraint, temptation and deep tension between reason and emotion, professional rules and private memories, cold project goals and unsolved spiritual codes. "Hello, First Girlfriend" tells the story of a reunion and confrontation between adults that takes place deep in the urban steel forest. It explores whether the residual warmth of the arc of humanity is enough to melt the ice of ten years outside the boundaries of reason.
