Ning Meng, a girl with the dream of becoming an investment director, became the president's secretary in reality. Her boss, Lu Jiming, is a boss with strong business ability but a hot temper. The daily battle of wits between the two is full of laughter and tears. Ning Meng's persistence and Lu Jiming's domineering form the main line of this drama, which makes people feel the difficulties of the workplace and the hardships of chasing dreams in laughter.
This drama is not only about the struggle in the workplace, but also about how two people grow up in collision with each other and finally find their own position. It depicts the life of urban young people with relaxed brushstrokes, both the tension and excitement of the workplace and the sweetness and warmth of love. In this fast-paced era, it is like a clear stream, allowing people to find a trace of spiritual comfort in addition to being busy.
Between Ning Meng's dream and reality, there seems to be an invisible gap. She dreamed of becoming a leader in the investment world, but in reality she became the president's secretary, facing papers and coffee every day. And her boss, Lu Jiming, the seemingly omnipotent investment president, always scoffs at her dreams.
But Ning Meng is not the kind of person who gives up easily. Under an unexpected opportunity, she decided to leave Lu Jiming and embarked on the road of job hunting alone. This trip not only allowed her to get rid of the label of "secretary to the president", but also allowed her to encounter various challenges and opportunities. At Eagle Rock Investment, she began her real career career, and every step was extremely difficult, but every step was also solid and powerful.
At the same time, although Lu Jiming was unimpressed by Ning Meng's departure on the surface, he was silently paying attention to her growth behind the scenes. He was sometimes stern and sometimes mentioned, so that Ning Meng gradually gained a firm foothold in the wind and rain of the workplace. The relationship between the two has also quietly changed in this subtle interaction.
There are many climactic workplace struggles in the plot, as well as warm and sweet love lines. From the initial incomprehension of each other, to the mutual support later, and then to the affectionate embrace at the end, their story is like a cup of coffee that is just right, bitter and sweet, and it is endlessly memorable.

In this drama, Ning Meng and Lu Jiming, the happy enemies, are undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence. Ning Meng, a girl with clear eyes like a fawn, her persistence and innocence make people can't help but want to guard. And Lu Jiming, the boss who always looks "I'm busy, don't bother me", inadvertently revealed his concern and doting on Ning Meng.
Lu Jiming, played by Lin Gengxin, can be said to be a perfect interpretation of the image of the "domineering president". There was both unquestionable authority in his eyes, as well as the tenderness that was unconsciously revealed in front of Ning Meng. Every little action and every line of his makes people feel the layering of the character, as if he is really the Lu Jiming who is comfortable in the business sea.
