Lin Guodong, 40, had worked at an internet company for 12 years before being laid off by a 28-year-old new director for "being out of step." With his mortgage on the verge of default, no money for his son's cram school, and even his wife complaining about his "incompetence," he was at his wits' end. By chance, he saved Gu Shaochuan, the younger brother of the CEO of Gu Group, who was being chased. The 26-year-old mixed-race heir initially dismissed him as "oily and useless," but after Lin used his decade of product manager experience to resolve a new product crisis, Gu immediately said: "Brother Lin, be my special assistant!" Since then, Lin has fought his way back into the workplace with Gu: he stood up to his snobbish former colleagues, handled difficult clients with his "old fox" tactics, and even helped Gu expose his cousin's power grab. When his former director begged him to return in tears, Lin smiled and pointed at Gu: "My current boss knows what 'useful' really means." Watching his back, Gu secretly added Lin's name to the group's partner list—this "middle-aged unemployed man" not only won over the CEO's brother but also reclaimed control of his life.
