Volume 1: The Low-Level Errand Secretary—Breaking Through All Obstacles! Rushing into the subway station from the scorching outdoors, an invisible wave of cold air swept over Ju Li like countless icy hands. She shivered and let out an involuntary sigh. The refreshing chill revived her from the zombie-like crowd, making her a spirited young woman […]
Ju Li rented a small apartment in an old residential area near Longyang Road in Pudong. When she closed the door after returning home, she suddenly noticed someone lying on the sofa in the living room to her left— A pair of long legs curled up, barely fitting on the sofa. The person was resting […]
In Jianghai City, June was so unbearably hot that one would rather escape to Africa to cool down. Fortunately, whenever it rained, the weather became somewhat cooler. But the continuous drizzle was equally frustrating—socks wouldn’t dry, forcing people to buy over a dozen pairs of socks and underwear just to cope. Even when wearing clothes […]
As expected, the day after Ju Li submitted her resume to Zhanyun Media, she received an interview notification. She only met with a minor administrative supervisor before receiving an offer—Zhanyun Media’s infamous, gruelling multi-round interview process? She didn’t experience any of it. Her position: administrative department staff, with a six-month probation period where the salary […]
Zhu Jingyi was having a good nap when he suddenly jolted awake with a start. Gripping the edge of his desk, he looked around in confusion. It was still his private office—neither too big nor too small—but bright and clean. Turning his head, he could see through the crystal-clear windows, where the bustling streets of […]
Exhaling deeply with excitement, she clicked on one of the two available buttons in the system: [Newbie Task]. The task was marked as [Completed], and upon clicking it, she discovered that she had received a lucky draw ticket for a roulette wheel. Wow, this seemed impressive. Could the prizes be gold bars or cash? After […]
For the better part of the afternoon, Ju Li and Zhang Beibei were constantly being sent on errands, printing documents and delivering them to the chairman’s desk, organising spreadsheets and handing them over to the chairman. Although none of these tasks was assigned directly by Zhong Liyan, every little chore was closely tied to him. […]
Ju Li wrote for a full 15 minutes without stopping or resting. Everything around her seemed irrelevant as she became completely immersed in the world of words and ink. It wasn’t until her pen ran out of ink that she snapped back to reality, lifting her head in a daze. The abrupt return from that […]
Qiao Baitong had been working at Zhanyun for five years. His office, though not the largest in the company, was still one of the most spacious. With bright windows, excellent lighting and a great view, it reflected his significance in the company. After years in this field, he had grown numb to many things, becoming […]
Summers in Jianghai City were not just hot but oppressively humid, making it feel like being in a steam bath. From the Hong Kong Plaza lobby to the waiting executive car, just a few steps and Ju Li’s nose was already glistening with sweat. Zhong Liyan sat in the back left seat, behind the driver, […]
Due to strict oversight from the higher authorities, cultural companies had been under intense scrutiny for years. The tug-of-war between both sides had persisted for over a decade, always teetering on the edge of conflict. Among them, Zhong Liyan stood as the most sharp-edged figure, unafraid to challenge authority from his personal standpoint. But this […]
Have you ever experienced being trapped in an enclosed space with the highest-ranking boss of your company, the one who holds absolute power over your fate and the entire organisation? And amidst this torment, just when you feel like you’re about to suffocate, you have to face a harsh reality, which is… This torment will […]
As the car drove into the rest area, it was already past 6 pm. Ju Li’s stomach was growling, but since the boss hadn’t mentioned being hungry, she was too embarrassed to speak up. Just as the driver was about to refuel, Zhong Liyan suddenly spoke: “Go buy something to eat. Be back in 15 […]
The night rest stop wasn’t too crowded, with only one tour bus unloading a group of tourists. People swarmed out of the bus, some lit cigarettes at the side, while others rushed to the restrooms and convenience store. When Ju Li bought her steamed buns, there were only a few customers around. But as soon […]
There was no time to carefully analyse the task; Ju Li immediately started assisting the chairman with his hotel check-in. As someone who had never traveled to save money, she had never gone through the process of checking into a hotel before. But to avoid looking inexperienced, she spoke very little and kept an expressionless […]
During dinner, Ju Li didn’t manage to get much useful information from Chen Haoyu or screenwriter Xiao Yun. At the table, everyone was just too tactful, almost as if they were all each other’s relatives. Xiao Yun was a screenwriter in his forties, somewhat well-known in the industry, having written two or three well-regarded TV […]
The meeting continued with the terrifying atmosphere until after 1 am, and Ju Li was already extremely tired, but she still forced herself to stay alert. As time passed, the task ‘Tears of the Star’ had less than 6 hours remaining. In fact, about half an hour ago, she had already begun to feel anxious, […]
Just how famous was Chen Haoyu? If he posted a single period on Weibo, it would get hundreds of thousands of reposts. He had dominated the top spot on the fan ranking forums for an entire year, no matter how many new albums dropped, movies were hyped, or birthdays were celebrated, no one could dethrone […]
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, saying nothing. He didn’t sob aloud, yet the sound of faint sniffling reached her ears. She felt the warmth of teardrops landing on her shoulder. After a moment, when she was sure he wasn’t going to make any further movements, she relaxed slightly. She stretched […]
Ju Li had a dream, she and the famous actor Chen Haoyu were riding through the streets in an open carriage. People surrounded them on all sides, layer upon layer, as if they were being put on display. The crowd was shouting something, their voices blending into a chaotic hum. When she listened closely, it […]
