Chapter 1 Hidden Rivalry Exposed
Gu Zhaoyu had an archenemy who always snatched his deals.
He hated that person so much he ground his teeth whenever he mentioned them.
I uneasily stroked my chest, wishing I could hide my secret identity better.
That's right.
The one snatching his deals was me.
On the surface, I was Gu Zhaoyu's most capable Secretary, but behind the scenes, I was the boss of his archenemy's company.
From a young age, I knew one truth: follow the wolf and eat meat.
When I was fifteen, I accidentally bumped into Gu Zhaoyu, got knocked out, and had a long, long dream about him.
In the dream, the ordinary Gu Zhaoyu would become a renowned Hong Kong Tycoon.
And I was just a corporate drone guarding the TV, eating instant noodles, my lifetime salary not enough to buy one watch on his wrist.
After waking up, Gu Zhaoyu was red-eyed, anxiously praying to the gods.
"Please, let her wake up. As long as she wakes up, I'm willing to fail the final exams."
My eyes turned red too.
Why should he enjoy the luxuries in the future?
While I could only eat flavor enhancers and drink capsaicin.
It wasn't fair.
Gu Zhaoyu was clearly scared.
"Doctor, doctor, check her eyes again, her eyes are so red."
Was he mocking me for having red-eye disease?
I was so angry.
Tears fell one by one.
I touched my forehead, a huge bump.
I cried even harder.
When the parents came, Gu Zhaoyu's mom poked his forehead and scolded him.
"Such a pretty little girl, you gave her a concussion, damaged her brain, what will she do in the future?"
Wuwuwu.
His mom was as sharp-tongued as him.
During those days lying in the hospital bed, I made a big decision.
I wanted to study hard, strive upward, and one day surpass Gu Zhaoyu.
We were all people, same class, same teachers, why could he do it and not me?
I said to my mom: "I want to read books."
My mom was excited but suppressed it bitterly, "Don't read, rest well first, read after you're better."
"Mom, please, let me read books, reading makes me recover faster."
A few hours later.
Forget it, I didn't have to become a Hong Kong Tycoon like Gu Zhaoyu, becoming a small tycoon would do.
The next day, forget it, some hardships didn't have to be endured, some fortunes didn't have to be made.
A gentleman loves wealth, but obtains it properly.
There was no path for me in books.
On the third day, I was discharged.
My mom was looking everywhere for things.
"Lin Zhiyue, where are your books? How did you mess them up like this? Didn't you say you were reading? How did you draw dolls on them, you naughty child..."
In three days, I figured out one thing.
I—Lin Zhiyue—was not cut out for studying.
But I really wanted to become a rich person.
It worried me to death.
