Chapter 1: My Female Boss
Page (1/3)
Qingcheng, upscale office building.
Liang Yuzhu, dressed simply in a white T-shirt and jeans, sat in a large executive chair.
She furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes filled with nervousness as she gazed at Wang Yang beyond the desk, anxiously asking, “How has the company’s performance been lately?”
Wang Yang nodded, “It’s been okay. Last week’s livestream lost fifty thousand.”
“Ah?” Liang Yuzhu lowered her head, her eyes dimming, her fists clenched tightly beneath the desk, palms sweating.
“But fortunately, the next day’s livestream made two hundred thousand,” Wang Yang added.
Suddenly, Liang Yuzhu looked up, her clenched fists relaxing, the tension in her thighs easing as she let out a long breath. “That’s actually not bad.”
Losing fifty thousand but then earning two hundred thousand meant a net gain of one hundred fifty thousand over two days.
“Yeah, it’s quite good. Currently, daily sales through livestreams are increasing. The net profit for the livestream two days ago was two hundred thousand, yesterday’s was two hundred fifty thousand, and based on my estimate, today’s livestream should bring in over five hundred thousand in profit!”
“Really?” Liang Yuzhu nearly stood up in excitement, but quickly composed herself, clearing her throat and nodding calmly, “You’re doing well.”
“Of course. Like I said, the livestream e-commerce business has great potential,” Wang Yang said with a confident smile.
He looked at the beautiful woman before him, a gentle smile playing on his lips.
A year ago, just after graduation, he was eager to make big money and had painstakingly studied the livestream sales industry, mastering its operating rules, everything ready except for startup capital.
At that time, he heard from a classmate that the campus beauty, Liang Yuzhu, had inherited ten million from her grandfather, transforming from a poor student into a young wealthy woman.
Wang Yang decisively approached Liang Yuzhu under the pretense of being a classmate, asking if she wanted to make big money and telling her he had a guaranteed profitable opportunity.
Terrified of poverty, Liang Yuzhu blushed and nodded but wanted to hear Wang Yang’s plan first.
Over the next half hour, Wang Yang carefully explained the project from start to profit, including costs, processes, and potential returns.
After some persuasion… or rather explanation, Liang Yuzhu chose to trust him and promised to transfer the money as soon as she got home.
That night, Wang Yang stared dumbfounded at the account balance showing 10,675,864.23 yuan.
Was this young lady really that trusting? She had handed over her entire fortune! Was she not afraid he would run off with the money?
Having received the funds, Wang Yang naturally did not run away but instead took Liang Yuzhu to register the company the next day, depositing all the money into the company account. The company was officially established.
Liang Yuzhu became the nominal chairman, doing nothing, while Wang Yang took charge of all operations, account management, and company affairs.

Profits were split fifty-fifty.
There was no other way—Liang Yuzhu knew nothing and was the financial backer.
“Wang Yang, how much money is left in the company account now?” After her initial excitement, Liang Yuzhu’s smile faded into a serious yet anxious expression as she asked.
She asked this question roughly once a month.
Wang Yang thought for a moment. “Currently, the company account has 8,785,726.23 yuan left. After subtracting the initial investment of over ten million and factoring in recent profits, there’s about 8,003,514.23 yuan remaining. The profit so far is roughly 780,000 yuan. Splitting it evenly, you personally have about 8.4 million yuan available.”
“8.4 million—that’s quite a sum, but there was clearly ten million at the start…” Liang Yuzhu murmured. Yet thinking about how the money would gradually recover to ten million and possibly even more, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
“You should get busy; isn’t there another livestream soon?” she asked with concern.
Wang Yang glanced at his watch. “Yes, it starts in twenty minutes.”
“Good luck! Let’s aim to break… five hundred thousand today?” Liang Yuzhu made a cheering gesture, though her voice remained soft, as if speaking loudly would cost her money.
Wang Yang smiled helplessly. “Be confident, my Chairman Liang. How can you negotiate with other companies if you’re like this?”
“I understand,” she nodded in response.
“Well, I’ll get to work. If you need money, just withdraw from the finance department—I’ve already notified them.”
Saying this, Wang Yang turned and left the office.
Only once the office door closed did Liang Yuzhu take a deep breath. Her shirt puffed out as if ready to burst, then gradually returned to its impressively intimidating size with her exhale.
She then took a notebook from the desk and opened it.
The pages were filled with dense figures, each entry marked carefully.
“May 21: Photographic equipment purchase 15,600 yuan; lighting equipment purchase 25,800 yuan…”
“May 22: Prop purchase 2,580 yuan…”
Looking over the earlier numbers still pained her somewhat. She flipped rapidly until reaching today’s page.
Picking up a pen, she meticulously wrote:
“May 10 livestream revenue: -50,000 yuan, no other expenses that day.”
“May 11 livestream revenue: 200,000 yuan, no other expenses that day.”

“May 12 livestream revenue…”
After recording all recent income and expenses, she looked over the numbers with satisfaction and exhaled deeply.
The company was finally on track and making money!
Reluctantly glancing once more at the figures, she closed the notebook carefully and returned it to the desk.
A year ago, when she first inherited her grandfather’s fortune, relatives appeared from all directions, each wanting to adopt her as their daughter.
Liang Yuzhu knew these relatives were after the money. She also knew that if she kept the money herself, sooner or later, these relatives or outsiders would find ways to take it from her.
It was then that Wang Yang appeared, offering to help her make money. At first, she was wary, but Wang Yang explained a detailed plan, pledged the inheritance as collateral, and signed contracts with her.
Besides, they had a shared history—a longstanding acquaintance with mutual understanding—so she decided to trust him.
At the beginning, she came to the company every day—not to help Wang Yang but to eat. She invested all her money into the company, not even leaving enough for her own meals. Looking back, she thought she had been quite foolish to leave herself with nothing.
During those days, she watched her money disappear bit by bit, vast amounts of equipment purchased but unused, and the company showing no progress. When she ate her egg-stuffed pancake, she didn’t dare ask the vendor to add sausage.
She calculated every day how much had been spent and how much had been lost, leading to sleepless nights.
At that time, Wang Yang refused to let her stay at the company daily. Instead, he ordered meals from a restaurant beneath her apartment, having them delivered three times daily.
After that, she came to the company once a month to hear Wang Yang’s reports on the company’s operations.
In the early months, she felt heartache every time she saw Wang Yang—not for him but for the money.
Because every report Wang Yang gave detailed how much had been spent, what equipment had been purchased, and how many fans the accounts had gained…
Until this month, nearly a year later, she finally heard good news.
The company… was making a profit!
She no longer had to keep losing money but could start making it through Wang Yang!
