My Boss Episode 33 Story: “Cheng Yao joins Jincheng and makes rapid progress”
Qian Heng believed that Cheng Yao’s decision to resign was due to Wu Jun’s haphazard recruitment practices at the company. Wu Jun had planned to meet with Liang Yiran, but events had already unfolded. Qian Heng’s dislike for Liang Yiran resurfaced, and he felt compelled to address the situation. Wu Jun retrieved a photo of the three of them from their school days and reminisced. Despite numerous girls pursuing Qian Heng, only Liang Yiran had been able to engage him in legal discussions. Their past collaboration had left Liang Yiran feeling perplexed.
Wu Jun advised Liang Yiran that positive relationships could foster personal growth, whereas negative ones could hinder progress. Liang Yiran acknowledged that persisting in a fruitless endeavor would only cause further harm.
Meanwhile, Tan Ying relayed the company’s decision to Cheng Yao. Liang Yiran’s reputation in the industry had already taken a hit. Liang Yiran reached out to Cheng Yao and acknowledged the disparity between them. Cheng Yao, maintaining a positive outlook, disclosed her plans to study abroad and temporarily step away from the legal profession. She admitted that she had sensed hostility from Liang Yiran from the beginning but had joined his team under pressure to avoid criticism and preserve his reputation as a partner. Ultimately, Cheng Yao expressed her forgiveness, signaling the end of their conflict.
Qian Heng’s unintentional comment about Cheng Yao having nowhere to go after leaving Jun Heng had saddened her when she submitted her resignation. In an attempt to apologize, he clumsily crafted a wooden plaque, accidentally puncturing it in the process. Cheng Yao, touched by Qian Heng’s sincerity, forgave him and revealed that she had passed an interview with Jincheng Law Firm.
The following day, Cheng Yao commenced her tenure at Jincheng Law Firm. Gu Beiqing welcomed her with a bouquet of baby’s breath, and Li Chengxuan shared a photo of them on WeChat Moments. During lunch, new colleagues inquired about Qian Heng’s industry moniker, the “cancer,” prompting Cheng Yao to explain. However, Qian Heng’s unexpected appearance left everyone speechless. Li Chengxuan’s attempt to bring Gu Beiqing and Cheng Yao together was halted when Qian Heng declared himself Cheng Yao’s boyfriend.
Back at the apartment, Qian Heng inquired about Cheng Yao’s partnership with Gu Beiqing. Cheng Yao disclosed that they had formed a team and begun tackling high-profile cases. Seeing Qian Heng’s concerned expression, Cheng Yao teasingly provoked him.
Gu Beiqing, intimidated by Qian Heng’s influence, encountered setbacks in his career advancement. Despite representing Xu Jun in a case that should have led to a promotion, he faltered upon encountering an employee from Qian Heng’s company. This experience left him with a deep-seated apprehension toward Qian Heng and a desire to minimize interactions with him in the future. Cheng Yao assured Gu Beiqing that with dedication, they could overcome Qian Heng.
Cheng Yao and Gu Beiqing quickly ascended to become pillars of the company, breaking revenue records within a month of joining. Li Chengxuan planned a celebratory lunch banquet to mark their achievements and even proposed pairing them as a couple for publicity. Tan Ying discreetly informed Qian Heng of the plan.
However, Cheng Yao believed that taking an actual case together would be more significant than speculation about their relationship. She was concerned that such speculation would only cause unnecessary complications for Qian Heng. Understanding her perspective, Li Chengxuan altered his plans. Cheng Yao, pleased with the decision, treated her colleagues to milk tea, covering the cost herself.
Qian Heng’s mother visited Jincheng Law Firm to invite Cheng Yao and Qian Heng to dinner, urging them to expedite their marriage plans. Cheng Yao received recognition as an “Outstanding Individual” at Jincheng, marking a new milestone in her career.
