the Ling is the leading enterprise in the country, boasting a wealth of talent under its banner.
Xu Yuandao, who previously served as the special assistant to the president of the Ling, is a brilliant graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is sharp and capable, with extensive overseas business experience, making him a rare elite.
Three months ago, Xu Yuandao received instructions from the headquarters to return to the Ling and take on the role of general manager.
Originally, someone like Li Niannian, a mere cog in the machine, would have little chance to meet the higher-ups. Even within the company, she was just a junior clerk in the Sales Department, far removed from the lofty offices of the general manager.
However, their parents were old comrades in the military and had a close relationship. Thus, under the pretext of matchmaking set up by their families, Li Niannian finally got to meet the esteemed Manager Xu half a month ago.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Xu Yuandao raised an eyebrow at her, his teasing gaze unwavering since she had taken her seat.
"Of course I will!"
When your superior demands something, you have no choice but to comply!
It felt as if Xu Yuandao were the host of this banquet; Li Niannian hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
In her flustered state, she almost let a piece of food slip from her grasp due to her nerves.
"You..."
As soon as Xu Yuandao spoke, Li Niannian tensed up like a startled bird. She wanted to respond with dignity but ended up stammering instead: "Xu... Manager, is there something you need?!"
"Eh? Why is Manager Xu silent?" His expression looked terrifying, resembling a bloodthirsty demon.
In the company, it was well-known that Manager Xu was cold-hearted and despised those who were more of a hindrance than a help. A single misstep could lead to layoffs as a warning to others.
Li Niannian felt a chill run from her head to her toes. Since the wedding banquet, she had embarrassed herself in front of her boss; surely he wouldn't associate that with her job performance, would he?! Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her body grew increasingly tense.
Li Niannian knew it was time to prove her loyalty.
" Manager Xu, my usual work performance is definitely not inferior to today!"
Please don't judge my future performance based on my unusual behavior today! Her eyes held a hint of pleading and flattery.
Xu Yuandao glanced at her, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Are you saying your usual work performance is even more 'spectacular'?"
Delving into Manager Xu's words seemed to suggest deeper meaning. Did he want to know about her impressive achievements at work? But one must be humble; taking all the credit alone was not the hallmark of an elite employee in the company—it was teamwork that mattered!
"It's everyone's effort; I haven't performed exceptionally!"
Manager Xu, you don't need to test me anymore. I am a dedicated employee with a strong sense of teamwork! Li Niannian's heart ignited with loyalty and righteousness, her expression serious and earnest.
Xu Yuandao rubbed his aching temples, looking both helpless and exhausted.
"Is this the best you can do?" He implied Li Niannian's level of understanding in Chinese.
"Yes, Manager! My skills are very low; it's all thanks to everyone!" She was not at all vain and would never take advantage of the situation.
She lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
After silently observing Li Niannian for a moment, Xu Yuandao decided not to waste any more words on such a fool. It seemed there were significant flaws in the company's hiring process.
As the witness to the wedding, Xu Yuandao delivered a few concise and powerful words to open another chapter of the ceremony.
The bouquet thrown by the bride struck Li Niannian, and she naturally caught the "weapon," joyfully accepting the blessings from those around her.
At that moment, a seven-tiered exquisite wedding cake was wheeled into the venue by the staff.
Still lost in the happiness of catching the bouquet, Li Niannian was completely unaware that she was about to face her greatest calamity of the day—
Due to her high heels stepping on her skirt, Li Niannian collided with a nearby waiter carrying drinks. Not only did large stains of wine splash onto the surrounding guests, but while she was busy apologizing to them, she bowed and looked up too forcefully. Her back straightened abruptly, sending Xu Yuandao—who happened to be walking by—crashing heavily into the seven-tiered wedding cake, transforming him into Creamy Manager while she found herself sitting right on top of him.
Her eyes widened in terror, her face filled with despair and helplessness, as if the end of the world had come.
"Li—Qing—Qing—"
It was all fate.
