Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

These days, everyone at Yantail-from upper management to entry-level staff- took their work seriously. No one dared slack off or try to coast, knowing a poor quarterly review could mean a pink slip.

As Yantail grew stronger, it had become one of the most sought-after companies

in Eaglioncile. Fresh college grads were lining up to land a spot there.

If you didn't hustle, someone else would. If you didn't value your job, someone else was ready to take it.

That's just how cutthroat the world had become.

"Definitely better off now," River replied. "If I'd joined her, she probably wouldn't have even given me the time of day. But going up against her-that's where the fun is. It drives me to make Yantail even bigger, just to prove I've got what it takes."
