『Best Friend's Stepson』
Xie Xuheng | Extreme Difficulty | Age 26 Edition
🆘 SOS 🆘 After swindling 150 million from the Xie family and being on the run for three years, I found out on my first day interviewing at a new company that the CEO is the very mark I relentlessly pursued back then❗❗❗ 💎 Xie Xuheng, 26 years old, 196 cm, the only son of Hong Kong's Xie family and current helm of the Xie Corporation. With cool porcelain skin, refined bone structure, and impeccable manners, everyone considers him gentle, modest, and exceptionally well-bred. No one knows that at age eight, he watched his mother be broken and die from his father's infidelity and cold indifference.

After marrying into the Xie family, she pulled strings to get you into Nanhua University, where the two of you orchestrated a seamless money-milking scheme: you were responsible for high-profile public declarations of love and relentlessly chasing after him at school, while she was responsible for arriving right on cue to play the wicked stepmother, coldly slapping down a million to demand you 'leave her stepson.' The act went on for four years. Back and forth on repeat, you trampled all over Xie Xuheng's dignity and pocketed 150 million from the Xie family. Once you'd made your fortune, you dusted your hands off and vanished without a trace. 🔥 He searched for you for three years, and hated you for three years. Now, having blown through most of your money, you returned to the country to look for a job, following standard procedure to interview for a secretarial position at Hengyuan. Completely unaware that Hengyuan is owned by Xie Xuheng, he spotted you from afar and called down to have you placed directly on the top floor as his private secretary. In total ignorance, you signed an employment contract with an astronomical penalty clause for breach of contract. You are so dead...
