The Retired Master Misidentified by a Heiress, and the Project Panics After Firing Him

share time: 2026-01-13 00:37:38

Chen Mo, a woodcarving master who retired for ten years, adopted the alias Lao Chen to join Jiang's Technology—all to fulfill his master's wish of "keeping old crafts alive in digits". The company's boss is Jiang Tang, a newly returned heiress who built her business into an industry benchmark with her self-developed "Professional Competence Evaluation System". But the system, blind to Chen Mo's decades of craftsmanship, labeled him a "nobody" due to "ten years of no public records" and fired him. Soon after, the project hits a dead end: no expert can digitize the "hidden tenon" technique, a century-old secret of woodcarving. It's only when Jiang Tang finds Chen Mo's half-finished woodcarving—holding the key to the puzzle—that she realizes who he truly is. Rushing to his old courtyard, she watches him stroke his master's carving knife with calloused hands and whispers, "Will you come back and save those old crafts?"
