As night falls, the bustling cityscape comes into view through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
Fu Chengyan had just finished showering and was about to go to his study to look at some documents.
He's been very busy these past few days, with meetings and social engagements almost from morning till night, forcing him to stay up late to handle work.
Jiang Zhiyi was sitting in his seat.
Fu Chengyan frowned subconsciously, thinking she was causing trouble again and plotting something bad.
He glanced at it discreetly; the computer was off, so no important things had probably been touched.
Thinking of this, his expression softened considerably, and he said, "Go play by yourself, and go to sleep if you're tired. I have things to do."
She kept bothering him last night. He had so many things to do and hadn't finished them all when she started clinging to him and pulling him into bed.
After it was all over, she fell into a deep sleep, while he had to continue working.
That caused a lot of trouble.
Jiang Zhiyi stood up and walked towards him, took his hand, and helped him sit in the leather office chair. Then she naturally sat on his lap and gently hooked her arms around his neck.
"I have something to tell you," she said in a sweet, coquettish voice. "It's very important."
Fu Chengyan didn't say anything, but just looked at her, gesturing for her to continue.
...
The male protagonist in this alternate dimension is named Fu Chengyan.
The female supporting character is his secret lover. The two met by chance a few years ago and began an abnormal sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship.
They each got what they wanted: one for money, the other for personal gain. They both understood that it was just a simple transaction with no future.
This relationship lasted for a long time. Just as Fu Chengyan was about to get engaged, he proposed to break up and gave the female supporting character a large sum of money as compensation.
The female supporting character was also quite sensible; she promptly took the money and left, and the two never crossed paths again.
Tuan Tuan: [Given your failure in the last mission, the system has temporarily downgraded you to "Dumb Mission Taker." This time, you've been assigned a very simple task. You don't need to do anything special; just participate in this main storyline and play a designated supporting role.]
Jiang Zhiyi: [You mean I just need to coast through each day here... just get through this period, right?]
Tuan Tuan: [Yes, Master.]
...
"I want to go to work," Jiang Zhiyi said.
Fu Chengyan frowned. What was she planning to do now? Go to work? What kind of work?
“I want to go to work,” she repeated, her lips brushing against his face.
Considering her usual behavior, Fu Chengyan roughly guessed what she wanted, so he directly refused, saying, "If you want to be a civil servant, then go take the exam yourself. Coming to me won't help. I'll have my assistant enroll you in a class. This isn't a feudal society anymore, and I'm not an emperor who can do whatever he wants. There are some things that can't be done; they're illegal."
Last time, she even suggested that he try to buy her father an official position so that the Jiang family would have power and influence, which almost made him furious...
"I don't want to be a civil servant. I want to work for your company. Can I be your president's assistant?"
Fu Chengyan chuckled. She had quite the dream.
"What can you do?" he asked.
"I can do a lot of things, I mean things in daily life. I don't care about professional matters, but I can do everything else. I'll bring you tea and water, and take care of you..."
Jiang Zhiyi blinked, then slowly leaned on his shoulder and whispered something in a low voice.
Fu Chengyan's eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on her. It seemed that this woman had deliberately come to seduce him tonight, and she deserved to be taught a lesson.
"Are you not feeling unwell anymore?"
"Will you agree or not? Can I be your assistant?" Jiang Zhiyi ignored his words and continued to ask the questions she wanted to know.
"No, get off." He coldly refused, letting go of her hand and no longer holding her.
"I really want to go to work..." Jiang Zhiyi pouted and refused to leave, leaning softly against him as if she had no bones.
Her voice was filled with grievance: "I don't have a proper job, and I can't even hold my head up high when I go home."
Fu Chengyan looked at her phone on the table. She must have received some message. The phone screen suddenly lit up, and her lock screen wallpaper was a photo of her and her family.
He knew about her family situation; it was somewhat unusual, involving a large extended family.
Her father is Jiang Yongfu, her mother is Li Aijin, her second brother is Jiang Zhier, her third sister is Jiang Zhisan, her fourth brother is Jiang Zhisi, her fifth sister is Jiang Zhiwu, her sixth brother is Jiang Zhiliu, her seventh sister is Jiang Zhiqi... and so on, there are a whole bunch of other relatives.
Her family was very poor, and as the eldest child, she naturally bore a lot of responsibility.
"I want to go to work! I really want to go to work!" Jiang Zhiyi blinked her eyes, and large tears fell down her cheeks, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Fu Chengyan still did not budge.
He wouldn't agree to this. Working at a company isn't child's play, and he didn't want to mix work and personal matters. He couldn't set a precedent like this.
Jiang Zhiyi had been secretly observing his expression.
Her little movements had already been noticed by the man, but he was just too lazy to point it out.
"I want to earn my own money; I can't always rely on yours. When I get my salary, I can buy you gifts! I really want to work hard to earn money..."
Her words were extremely pleasing to the ear.
Fu Chengyan chuckled; it seemed that this last sentence was her true purpose.
"How much do you want? Just tell me." He lit a cigarette for himself.
Amidst the swirling smoke, he squinted at her through the white mist.
He wasn't going to beat around the bush with her anymore; he was busy right now and didn't have time to listen to her fake crying and acting.
Jiang Zhiyi stammered, "I don't know how much it will cost... I'm not sure yet... I just want to open a shop..."
"A luxury goods store?" Fu Chengyan asked.
This is quite common. Many wealthy wives and young ladies, or those who are kept like her, have nothing better to do than open a luxury store to pass the time.
For him, it was simply a matter of how much to invest.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head and said, "No... I want to open a fortune-telling shop..."
"What?" He wondered if he hadn't heard clearly.
“Fortune-telling shop,” she repeated softly.
