Chapter 5
Love Master
"A marriage agreement!!!"
Ye Sangsang's voice suddenly turned shrill, screaming like a groundhog possessed.
She no longer spoke in a high-pitched voice: "Xu Que, you've been in a relationship for so long and you didn't even tell me!"
She thought they had just started dating, but it turns out they had even signed a marriage agreement!
Jiang Fengyi shifted the blame onto herself: "It's not her fault, it's because I wouldn't let her make it public."
Ye Sangsang immediately changed her tune: "Then you must have had a compelling reason."
"Ye Sangsang, you're such a hypocrite!"
Xu, holding his phone, spoke directly to the person on the other end of the screen: "You broke my heart, goodbye!"
"No!"
This time, Xu reacted quickly, pressing the red button as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sorry, my friend has always been quite talkative since she was little, please don't mind her."
Jiang Fengyi countered, "What do you mind?" She continued with a smile, "She's lively and adorable, I quite like her."
She just said it casually, but Xu couldn't help but overthink it.
Is Ye Sangsang really more likable than her?
Back in the orphanage, Ye Sangsang had already gained more affection than Jiang Fengyi because of her talkativeness. Unexpectedly, she easily received praise from Jiang Fengyi just by having a video call with her.
What about yourself?
Will Jiang Fengyi find herself boring?
Can she continue doing this job pretending to be a partner? Xu really can't bear to let go of her lucrative job.
A sense of crisis suddenly arose.
She had to find a way to win back Jiang Fengyi and get her generous salary back. She needed to make Jiang Fengyi feel that the money spent on this collaboration was worthwhile.
But what should we do?
Xu decided to seek help from the all-powerful Little Green Book.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.
Without saying a word, I started typing and editing.
How to win your boss's favor
She then deleted it word by word. No, this was too opportunistic. Jiang Fengyi certainly had no shortage of sycophants around her; if it backfired, she'd have nowhere to turn for help.
Then try 【How to make yourself more interesting?】
No, no, Jiang Fengyi might not even have time to glance at her, so no matter how interesting she becomes, it won't make a difference.
How to attract your boss's attention
The black font looked increasingly strange, and she immediately dismissed the idea.
How can I find opportunities to get along with my boss?
How can I make a good impression on my boss?
How to make your boss happy with high emotional intelligence?
......
Xu edited and deleted repeatedly, then edited again. After a busy half-day, he still hadn't come up with a title.

He Shuyi is an ordinary employee, but her boss is not.
Jiang Fengyi, the only daughter of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is a prominent and wealthy clan in the area. Many famous figures have come from their ancestors, and Jingjiang Technology, a company that interns are scrambling to get into, was founded by the Jiang family.
Its businesses span various sectors, from traditional industries to digital technology, achieving remarkable success and building a complete industrial chain ecosystem empire.
Since Jiang Fengyi took over the company, she has implemented many innovations and reforms, and Jingjiang has become increasingly prosperous.
At the same time, her iron-fisted approach also drew dissatisfaction from many "veterans" on the board of directors.
Unfortunately, every major decision was flawless, leaving those who wanted to take advantage of the situation with no opportunity to make a move.
He Shuyi was very lucky. Right after graduation, she passed all the tests and entered Jingjiang Company, becoming Jiang Fengyi's assistant.
Although it's a small profession, Jingjiang Technology has always offered the highest compensation in the industry, and unlike other tech companies, they don't lay off employees as soon as they turn 35.
Once you get a permanent position here, you can work there until retirement, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Because of the typhoon, He Shuyi was given a day off by her company. She had nothing to do at home and spent almost all her time in bed, day and night.
That afternoon, she lay on her side in bed, scrolling through Little Green Book, her phone in hand. The homepage showed her posts that interested her.
How to become your boss's confidant without leaving a trace
The large, bold text immediately caught her eye, and He Shuyi clicked on it without hesitation.
She enjoys reading about these kinds of relationship issues and will even leave a comment when she's in a good mood. Although she's single herself, she has a wealth of theoretical knowledge and experience in answering relationship questions.
She not only generously shares her insights on the Little Green Book, but also enjoys offering advice on social media, earning her the nickname "Love Strategist."
The reason why He Shuyi categorized it as an emotional issue was because the comments below influenced her preconceived notions.
He Shuyi continued reading.
Oh, this time it's an office romance.
Many people have already left comments under the post.
To become a trusted confidant, one must first be someone the other person cherishes.
[The author's nickname is Wishing Well (who wants to become a full-fledged member). It's suggested that you consider these issues after you've already become a full-fledged member.]
Winning over your boss leads to success in both love and career.
[You can approach your boss under the guise of reporting on work, and then once the door is closed...]
[By the way, if you're not qualified enough to report directly to your superior, that's a different story. Reporting to someone above your level is a major taboo in the workplace.]
[They haven't been officially hired yet, so they probably won't have the opportunity to report on their work.]
If you can't even meet them in person, how can you build rapport? Let alone become your boss's confidant.
Keep dreaming, dreaming goes faster.
【Then let's try a different approach: cook for her every day. Win her over through her stomach first, then her heart.】
Before I started working, I was just as naive as the person above, full of romantic fantasies about my boss. After starting work, all I want is to die with my boss.
How can double death not be considered a happy ending?
......
None of the comments offered any useful advice. He Shuyi clicked her tongue; she knew she still had to step in.
What is the author's core message in "Ten Thousand Books"?
He Shuyi broke down the steps one by one, just like solving a math problem.
[The author should first clarify their purpose: do they want to take the relationship to the next level? Or are they simply trying to increase the other person's favorability?]
Traffic was good during the holiday, and the post quickly garnered many comments, which Xu browsed one by one. But the more he read, the more disheartened he became; every comment seemed utterly unreliable.
She kept refreshing the page, searching for helpful comments. But everyone was speaking Chinese, and she couldn't quite understand them. It was as if she had replied to the wrong post.
What is double death? And what is "he"?
Xu, who couldn't understand, simply skipped over it, but finally managed to find two serious questions at the end.
All of these comments were posted by a netizen nicknamed "Wan Juan Shu," who not only had the longest comment length but also seemed the most reliable.
Purpose?
Xu replied only after careful consideration.
The author hopes that she will have a good impression of me and that she will think of me occasionally.
Especially when distributing bonuses, one must think of oneself. The house reward that Jiang Fengyi mentioned was like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, constantly luring her forward.
He Shuyi never expected that there would still be such pure-hearted people in this day and age.
[Judging from the author's description, you and she must have only known each other for a short time.]
Xu discovered that this netizen with the nickname "Ten Thousand Books" was quite capable. She hadn't revealed any information about herself, yet the netizen was able to guess the general idea based on just one of her replies.
[Author's note: Yes, I only met her yesterday.]
He Shuyi perked up; it was a script of love at first sight.
[The boss who inspired this idea must be quite outstanding. While attracting your attention, they will also attract the covetousness of others. The author should first check if there are any competitors.]
This is amazing! How does someone with so many books know everything?
As far as I know, there's only one competitor, and that competitor is a friend I've known since childhood.
Hiss~ A classic problem.
You have to choose between a love at first sight who falls from the sky and your childhood sweetheart.
He Shuyi straightened her expression and sat up from the bed.
She clicked on Xu Que's profile picture to start a private chat.
[Whether this problem is easy to solve depends largely on your boss. What is your boss's attitude towards your friend?]
Wishing Well (now a full-time employee) [The two of them have never met; they only chatted briefly during a video call, and my boss complimented her, saying she was interesting.]
[Then you don't need to worry at all. You are the social hub between the two of them. Without you acting as a bridge, the two of them probably wouldn't even have a chance to meet.]
[If you're still concerned, just keep a close eye on them when they meet.]
Wishing Well (Now a permanent position) [However, I have a strong sense of insecurity, and this job is easily replaceable. Even if it's not my friend, I worry that someone else will take my place.]
Wishing Well (Promoted to Full-Time Position) [My supervisor can give me tasks at will, and can also easily fire me and replace me with someone else. I want to ask, is there any way to prevent her from replacing me and to make sure I'm indispensable?]
He Shuyi was puzzled. Weren't they just talking about relationships? How did they suddenly switch to work? She looked closer and realized, oh, so the work was deliberately arranged by her boss.
Unexpectedly, the boss I fell in love with at first sight at the wishing well turned out to be a nice person, assigning me work as soon as we met.
Perhaps! It was love at first sight for both of them!
He Shuyi suddenly stood up, her face beaming with an aunt's smile.
Okay! She's shipping this couple first!
[Excuse me for asking, but did your boss only approach you for this job?]
Xu scratched her head. Could a marriage of convenience really involve several people? In modern society, marriage is based on a one-A-one-O system; having more than one would constitute bigamy. She believed Jiang Fengyi wasn't ignorant of the law.
Wishing Well (now officially a staff member) [Yes, they only contacted me]
[Did she deliberately arrange a job for you where you could see her every day?]
Wishing Well (Official Status Now Available) [Correct]
Xu was beginning to suspect that Wan Juanshu was a hacker who knew everything. The assistant role was deliberately arranged by Jiang Fengyi so that the two could get to know each other quickly.
[Did she return the money to you?] (Wang Juanshu)
Wishing Well (Official Status Now Available) [Correct]
The wages for cooking instead of the auntie.
Thinking of the huge sum of money he received yesterday, Xu added a sentence.
My boss is quite generous; he pays a lot of money.
Sister! What are you worried about? Your boss treats you so well.
Xu rarely goes online, and only uses Little Green Book because he often repairs various old appliances at home, and the tutorials and guides on it are more detailed and easier to use than those on Baidu.
She didn't understand why, after just a few words, the other person was so affectionately calling her "sister." Just like she couldn't understand her own comment section.
Perhaps the other person was naturally familiar with him, but Xu didn't dwell on it too much.
But she's also very kind to others.
He Shuyi understood; it turned out her boss was a "people pleaser" type, making the wishing well feel insecure.
Sister, you need to be more confident.
She's already proactively arranged work for you, don't you understand what she means?
She—actively—chose—you!
With so many people in the company, why didn't she choose someone else? It must be because you have something about you that makes her want to choose you.
Xu suddenly understood. Jiang Fengyi must have chosen her as the person for their marriage of convenience after extensive investigation, and she must be the most suitable one.
She had become fixated on appearances and stuck in a rut. After being enlightened by the other person, Xu's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.
Sister, thank you, I understand.
Xu not only "understood," but she also took the initiative to ask questions.
What should I do to maintain my position in my boss's eyes?
