Workplace Female Lead's Strategy Against Her Scheming Male Boss

Content: [Main text finished] Bonus chapters dropping randomly (≧∇≦) Before returning home from her studies abroad, Lin Chaoyue was defrauded of 20 million yuan. The money wasn't a huge sum, especially for someone with her wealthy family background.

But the problem was, she had just posted her freshly minted law degree certificate on social media the day before (╥﹏╥) It was simply tragic. Within a night, she became the laughingstock of her circle. Along with this, some 'sensational' gossip about her time abroad also spread back home.

The day she returned, her welcome party instantly turned into a banquet of deception. Lin Chaoyue had her house repossessed and cards frozen, then was ruthlessly handed over to Pei Shuwen. Pei Shuwen was the son of Lin's mother's old friend. His family's wealth was on par with the Lin family's, and he was a sought-after star partner at a prominent law firm in Ning City. Even the interns he mentored could work independently.

He had an excellent reputation both within and outside his professional circle. Her parents had found her such a 'teacher,' clearly intending to 'discipline' her thoroughly. Lin Chaoyue, having idled away her days for too long, had no great ambitions and hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society. With a mere flick of Pei Shuwen's finger, she easily fell into his trap.

The rich young lady transformed into a workplace rookie, and was even coaxed into signing numerous unequal treaties. By the time she belatedly realized something was wrong, it was too late. One day, unable to bear the exploitation, Lin Chaoyue stormed into the partner's office, slammed her hand on the table, and angrily declared: "I'm resigning!"

Pei Shuwen lowered his gaze, his eyelashes casting a shadow. He slowly and rhythmically tapped the contract with his finger, then reported a figure with a smirk: "You can resign, but how do you plan to pay the penalty for breach of contract?" ...Very well, she couldn't afford it :) Fraud experience: +1.

Initially, his friends joked that his grandfather's calculations were astute, placing such a bright and innocent girl beside him to create an opportune situation. Pei Shuwen merely smiled calmly, not taking it to heart: "It's just to appease the elders and coincidentally do the Lin family a favor."

However, as their relationship gradually crossed the line, his 'appeasement' became a joke. On a stormy night, the entire city was engulfed by rain. The entire Jun Tian Liang Mu building experienced a network and power outage. Lin Chaoyue's all-night加班 plan was forced to halt, and she was packing up to go home.

Turning around, she unexpectedly ran into Pei Shuwen, who was supposed to be on a business trip in a neighboring city. "Why are you here?" She was astonished. The normally dignified man before her also looked quite disheveled. His hair was messy, his clothes drenched, and even the watch on his wrist was dripping water, aside from his wrinkled jacket.

Pei Shuwen didn't give her a chance to speak. Upon seeing her, he meticulously checked her over. Only after confirming she was unharmed did he lower his arm and softly replied: "Just passing by." Later, Lin Chaoyue learned that for this 'passing by,' Pei Shuwen had canceled two meetings, rejected three collaborations, and sped for two hours through the rainy night, just to ensure her safety.

"Originally, she said she was the moon. Later, with every beat of his heart, he hoped her moonlight would shine only on him."

"Rebirth in the 80s: Fabric Tycoon" [You Mian loudly calls out: "Next new novel, guaranteed to be refreshing and sweet! Don't miss out, follow and favorite so you don't get lost!"] Xia Xiaoqin was reborn, back to 1986, before You Lang was crippled in an accident, and before she married her lazy ex-husband.

In her previous life, the two 'bitter melons' found solace in each other in middle age. Though they were a couple by circumstance with little emotional attachment, they opened a fabric shop. While not immensely wealthy, their life was harmonious and stable. Packing her bags, she decisively headed south.

She heard that You Lang and a friend bought a pickup truck that year, preparing to run a fabric freight business in Guangzhou. If she arrived in time, she might be able to achieve great things. The ideal was grand, but as for reality... Xia Xiaoqin nudged the broken-down car, leaking rust on flat ground, and the fierce-looking, close-cropped man in front of her, her face crinkled in disbelief: "This is the 'luxury car' you said could transport half of Guangzhou's fabric in one go?"

"One hundred yuan as a bride price, one bicycle. Marry or leave." The man mistook her for the arranged marriage prospect from his family and thought she was being disdainful. Xia Xiaoqin blinked, then played along: "Marry, I'll marry right now."

--

Xia Xiaoqin's idea in seeking out You Lang was simple: to expand and glorious her previous life's business! Rescuing her husband and getting married was just a convenient side task. But the other party clearly didn't think so. After confirming repeatedly with his hometown, Xia Xiaoqin's arranged marriage partner in Guangzhou was someone else.

You Lang completely panicked. One day, Xia Xiaoqin went to superficially meet her ex-husband (who was her arranged partner) while also discussing a shipping business deal for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not returning for half a day. The man, usually outwardly rebellious, squatted in the alley for an entire day.

When she returned, his usually cool face, which was good at feigning indifference, rarely showed panic: "Don't even think about divorce!"
