The Ultimate Couch Potato: I Really Don't Want to Be a Big Shot

Lu Yuan graduated from a third-rate university, earns 4,500 yuan a month, and dreams of becoming a lie-flat sardine. His catchphrases are, "What does that have to do with me?" and "I just want to slack off."

But fate refuses to let him have his way. On the day he gets laid off, he somehow saves an old man, who turns out to be Shen Wanshan, founder of the Tiansheng Group. Overnight, Lu goes from unemployed young man to the CEO's personal assistant, with his salary multiplied tenfold. Then the CEO's daughter, Shen Qingxue, moves in next door to "learn management"; rival Qin Manni loses a bet and has to call him "Daddy"; international supermodel-turned-investment queen Ye Qingcheng offers him a 30-million-yuan salary to join her; and genius hacker girl Su Xiaoxiao breaks into the company's system just to ask him for a meal.

Four wealthy beauties take turns making their moves, flirting openly and scheming behind the scenes, with a battlefield of romantic rivals unfolding every day. Lu Yuan only wants some peace and quiet, but he's pushed step by step into the vice president's seat. When he finally decides to take things seriously, he discovers that his background hides an even greater secret: his biological father, missing for twenty years, is a business legend and his biggest rival.

This is the story of a sardine repeatedly battered by life and forced to get back on its feet. Lighthearted and witty, with a brisk pace, it'll have you laughing your way through every page.
