Penny had already made plans to get her hair done and go shopping with her friends over the weekend, but Wenlun suddenly told her that she had to go on a business trip with the boss.
Like a bolt from the blue, Penny, relying on Wen Lun's easygoing nature, pleaded with him, "Assistant, could you send someone else? My friend is coming to visit me; it's a rare holiday for me."
Wenlun's face was very unpleasant. The usually easy-going person suddenly lost her temper with her: "This is all the president's idea. What, are you feeling wronged by going on a business trip with the president?"
Penny was startled by him. After he walked away, she muttered sullenly, "What's wrong with him? It's not like he's on his period. Why is he so grumpy?"
The branch president just took office a month ago. His appearance is impeccable, perfectly matching the dignified and distinguished president persona in the novel.
However, no matter how handsome the boss is, the women in the secretariat can't develop any romantic feelings for him.
The main thing is that, regardless of a man's looks or physique, the most important thing is that he knows how to cherish a woman.
Yi Mu is a workaholic. He spends ten hours a day in the office, is the first to arrive at the company, and the last to leave.
He had only been there a month when the company's half-year report showed a three percentage point increase in performance.
Before he arrived, the branch office was ranked last every year.
In short, this CEO is exceptionally capable, but seems to have little interest in women.
Whether it was the young and fresh-faced female secretary in the office or the highly educated and beautiful department head, Yi Mu had no intention of developing an office romance.
His serious demeanor is a disservice to his outstanding appearance.
No matter what, I couldn't refuse the business trip, especially since it was a direct order from the boss.
The city they were going to was a coastal city in the south.
This city has developed incredibly rapidly in the last two years.
Some people have heard rumors that this seemingly insignificant little city will become a member of the economic circle in the next few years.
The Yi family has some connections with the powerful figures above them, and Yi Mu had already learned this from the old man; the news is true.
The orchard circled by the Land and Resources Bureau has about twenty fruit farmers.
When the news of the land acquisition first broke, the fruit farmers protested for a while, but they eventually gave in.
Two days later, the fruit farmers changed their tune and refused to accept the government's compensation for the expropriation of their land.
When asked why, everyone gave the same answer: they had lived on this land for fifty or sixty years, with several generations living together, and they were reluctant to leave.
Several groups of people went to do ideological work, full of confidence when they went, but returned looking pale and sickly.
The fruit farmers seemed to be under collective control, refusing to budge no matter what.
Upon seeing an excavator approaching, he grabbed some engine oil and a torch, threatening to burn the vehicle.
Initially, it was Mr. Yi who took a liking to that piece of land, and the tender documents were already prepared.
The project was shelved for two years because the fruit farmers refused to agree.
I heard that other real estate companies have recently become envious and have sent people to be stationed there to do ideological work with the fruit farmers.
The male protagonist is also one of them.
He's a very cunning person; others usually send their company's smooth-talking PR people to persuade him.
He, a CEO, disguised himself as a laborer, applied for a job as a worker in the female lead's household, and forcefully infiltrated the enemy's ranks.
Despite having powerful financial backers, Yimu was unable to acquire the land.
A few years later, a resort was built on this land.
The resort only receives a limited number of visitors each quarter, and because the fees are quite high, these visitors are all wealthy and influential.
The resort is surrounded by an orchard, with indoor greenhouses built to grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as a clear, artificially diverted stream.
Wealthy people who have never seen the Loess Plateau in their lives can truly experience a back-to-basics rural life here.
The male protagonist comes from a humble background, and he built this resort not to make money.
His primary goal was to cultivate relationships with genuine powerful and wealthy individuals, thereby gradually shedding his nouveau riche image and moving onto the upper echelons of society.
