How the Company Workhorse Plans to Have a Baby

share time: 2025-12-31 06:25:44

Lin Xiaoman is the company's do-everything "workhorse"—fetching her boss's kid, fixing colleagues' projects, and working overtime until the subway stops. Her secret wish? To start a family with Chen Mo, the unapproachable R&D "flower on a high mountain" she's admired for years—though she can barely summon the courage to talk to him. When the company launches a dating incentive program: top 10% in quarterly KPIs get "date leave + love funds," Xiaoman goes all in—staying up to hit targets while sneaking chances to approach Chen Mo: spilling coffee on his laptop during a "document delivery," falling asleep while following him to feed strays (and waking up with his jacket on). But in the final KPI week, her boss dumps an urgent project requiring 7 days of overtime—right when Chen Mo asks her to a weekend exhibit. Torn between her dream and the risk of being fired, Xiaoman opens her laptop—only to get a message from Chen Mo: "I brought you coffee. I'm downstairs."
