The Suffering-Novel Heroine Refuses to Lose: I'll Get Promoted, Get Rich, and Marry My Assistant

[A good-for-nothing businesswoman x her mature, dependable assistant]

After losing the family business, Hua Gui and her sweet, naive parents fell so low they could only afford to live in a tiny rental.

Just as she was about to ask her useless friends for help, she suddenly heard a strange voice in her head saying that this world was a novel.

She was the poor but resilient heroine in an old-fashioned tragedy.

Her family's bankruptcy was destined to happen. It was the start of her first meeting with the male lead, and no one could help her.

The novel even had a bad ending. She and the frail supporting female character would be kidnapped by their enemies. Her fated male lead would resolutely choose to save the other woman and die with Hua Gui.

Together, they would plunge off a cliff to their deaths.

Hua Gui laughed in outrage. "I'm not dying. Why should I die?"

Fortunately, the story hadn't started yet. The male lead was tied up with something and couldn't come himself, so he sent his golden finger, Cen Jin, to help the Hua family rise again.

The man's gaze was cold. "Do you know how to do business?"

Determined to defy fate, Hua Gui declared confidently, "Sure. I'll play a round of Monopoly and show you."

She went bankrupt.

Assistant Cen was so angry he took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead, and laughed in sheer exasperation. "You don't know a damn thing!"

One day, Cen asked President Hua, "Now that you've got the family business back, what's your goal from here on?"

President Hua thought long and hard. "Eat, drink, have fun, and play video games?"

"Could you have a little ambition, boss?"

Ambitious Hua Gui: "Money and power... and marrying a capable assistant?"

Assistant Cen: .

Assistant Cen, help me rise to the clouds, then hand me another ten thousand taels of gold
