Counterattack: Starting from Being Laid Off

share time: 2025-12-19 06:01:47

Lin Xiaoman, 30, just faced a double blow—laid off from her job and catching her boyfriend cheating. By chance, she runs into Gu Yan, her former timid intern, now a startup CEO, at a bar. Gu offers her a job: "Come work for me, start as an assistant." Xiaoman almost refuses, but when she sees her ex's mocking gaze, she grits her teeth and accepts. However, Gu's "tests" are harsher than expected: ten revisions on an all-night proposal, rescuing a difficult client, and dealing with taunts from former colleagues. When she's on the brink of collapse, Gu hands her a hot coffee: "The way you taught me PowerPoint back then was ten times more determined than now." Xiaoman suddenly realizes that counterattack isn't about defeating others—it's about reclaiming the courage worn away by life. And the one who's been waiting to start over with her? He's been right behind her all along.
