“Zhuochuan, there are still a few places in the PPT for tomorrow’s meeting that need to be revised. Don’t leave after work.”

“Xiao Ning, next week you need to accompany the leader on a business trip. Remember to work overtime to finish these character models!”

“Xiao Ning, during Xiao Wang’s maternity leave, you’ll temporarily take over her work. Let her hand over the main content to you in the next few days…”

“Zhuochuan, you’re so young, it’s the perfect time to endure hardships and train yourself. Don’t get discouraged just because there’s a lot of work. The leader assigns you tasks to deliberately hone you… Here, this game project that’s been abandoned in the early stages, no one is handling it right now, take a look…”

Familiar voices echoed one after another in Ning Zhuochuan’s ears, making his head throb with pain. He struggled to open his eyes, but all he saw was darkness, with only these words he heard every day at work circling around him endlessly.

Suddenly, a blinding white light pierced through the darkness, forcing Ning Zhuochuan to quickly close his eyes again.

The next second, the voices in his ears were replaced by the screeching sound of a large truck coming to a sudden stop, its tires scraping against the ground. Ning Zhuochuan felt himself being lifted into the air.

“Ah…”

Startled, Ning Zhuochuan shouted and woke up.

A light and elegant fragrance filled the air as Ning Zhuochuan woke up in a cold sweat, feeling a bit disoriented, as if something was different.

First, the bed.

After graduating from university, he worked alone in a first-tier city, sharing a small apartment with several people to save money. The room he slept in was tiny, and the bed was a small single bed. But now, he rolled over several times and still didn’t fall off the small bed.

Next, the room.

As Ning Zhuochuan sat on the bed in a daze, beautiful music suddenly played from the direction of the headboard, followed by the sound of curtains being drawn.

Startled, Ning Zhuochuan quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound. What he saw left him completely stunned.

The sound came from the automatic curtains being drawn open as the alarm clock went off. The gray-blue curtains took a long time to fully open under Ning Zhuochuan’s dumbfounded gaze. It was only then that Ning Zhuochuan, with the help of the bright sunlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, finally saw the entire room.

This was a bedroom larger than the entire three-bedroom apartment he used to rent, and the bed he was sitting on was an oversized two-meter bed.

Feeling a bit dazed, Ning Zhuochuan got off the bed and took a tour around the bedroom, discovering not only a luxurious bathroom with a two-meter bathtub but also a walk-in closet filled with high-end suits, shirts, handmade leather shoes, and luxury watches.

…What on earth happened? Who am I? Where am I?

Just as Ning Zhuochuan was wondering if he was still dreaming, he heard the same melodious alarm sound coming from the direction of the big bed.

Coming back to his senses, Ning Zhuochuan quickly returned to the bedside and picked up his phone. After turning off the alarm, he saw a long list of schedules on the brand-new and expensive phone screen, with one name appearing most frequently—Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi? Cheng Xi…

!

Ning Zhuochuan’s eyes widened suddenly because he finally remembered where he had seen this somewhat familiar name before!

It was from a romance novel about a domineering CEO bravely pursuing love but constantly being rejected, with 99 consecutive failed confessions.

Ning Zhuochuan knew about this novel because the male protagonist in it, the one who was always pursuing but never succeeding, had the same name as him.

Since his name wasn’t very common, Ning Zhuochuan was initially quite pleased to find a novel with a protagonist sharing his name. But after reading the synopsis and the first chapter, he realized it was this kind of clichéd plot and promptly abandoned it.

After all, as a 996 working dog, he spent most of his time commuting and working, so how could he waste precious time on such sappy, frustrating third-rate novels?

And now, this Cheng Xi was the name of the person the domineering CEO in that novel was crazily pursuing!

………………

So, did he actually get hit by a truck on his way home from working overtime and transmigrate into that clichéd romance novel?

So, his current identity is no longer a timid working dog but a domineering CEO with a mansion and luxury watches!

Ning Zhuochuan couldn’t describe his feelings at this moment. He never imagined that his long-cherished dream of working diligently would be realized in such an incredible way.

In a daze, feeling as if he had suddenly won a huge lottery, Ning Zhuochuan washed up, got dressed, and followed the schedule on his phone to wait downstairs at 8:30 in the morning for the car to pick him up for work.

Now, his walk-in closet was filled with high-end, custom-made suits and shoes, the kind that would have cost Ning Zhuochuan several months’ salary when he worked at an internet company.

After admiring them for a while, Ning Zhuochuan chose a pure black wool suit he thought looked very stylish and classy, paired with an iron-gray tie, a diamond tie clip, and matching cufflinks. On his feet were handmade black Oxford shoes.

This was the kind of CEO outfit Ning Zhuochuan liked to dress his game characters in when he was working on game modeling. His colleagues and leaders used to praise his character models for being immersive.

But Ning Zhuochuan never imagined that one day he could wear his own six-figure outfit.

Though it was indeed high-end, wearing these clothes and shoes felt a bit uncomfortable for Ning Zhuochuan. The suit pants were too tight on his butt, unlike the loose comfort of sweatpants, and the shirt collar chafed his neck, making him miss the soft, roomy hoodies…

Standing at the door of his high-end apartment, Ning Zhuochuan tugged at his tie and habitually reached up to adjust a non-existent backpack on his shoulder, then…

As Ning Zhuochuan worried about whether anyone had seen his strange action, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and gloves suddenly approached him with a smile, bowing politely: “President Ning, what are you daydreaming about? I’ve been watching you come down for a while.”

“…” Ning Zhuochuan glanced at the man, who was clearly his driver, and gave an awkward smile, “Ahem, I was just thinking about something. Let’s go.”

“Ah, alright.” The driver nodded quickly and respectfully invited Ning Zhuochuan into the car.

It was only then that Ning Zhuochuan realized that the car waiting for him was the black Mulsanne parked by the roadside.

……

Ning Zhuochuan felt an indescribable mix of nervousness and excitement. He had never ridden in such a high-end car before, and even seeing one on the street was a rare occurrence.

But now, being told that this over-five-million-yuan car belonged to him left Ning Zhuochuan with a sense of unreality.

However, considering that he had been hit by a truck and somehow ended up in a novel, everything seemed a bit more acceptable.

This is truly a wonderful novel! Ning Zhuochuan couldn’t help but think to himself. The talented author really knows how to create a domineering CEO character, and the name is just perfect! Hahaha…

The car drove through the bustling city streets for about twenty minutes before arriving at Ning Zhuochuan’s workplace—the high-tech industrial park.

Since he had only read the first chapter of the novel, Ning Zhuochuan wasn’t quite sure what kind of company he now owned. So, he followed the driver into the underground parking lot and took the elevator to the 16th floor of the tallest office building in the center of the park.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Ning Zhuochuan saw the clean marble floor, the young and beautiful receptionist, and the large floating letters on the wall directly opposite the elevator that read “Chuan Yue Games.”

So it’s a gaming company, Ning Zhuochuan thought with relief. In his previous life, he worked in the game department of a large internet company, mainly responsible for a team in game development and promotion.

Now, if he’s the CEO of a gaming company, it seems like a good fit for his expertise.

“Good morning, President Ning!”

The receptionist’s enthusiastic greeting pulled Ning Zhuochuan back to reality from his wandering thoughts. He responded with a friendly greeting and then awkwardly stopped at the reception desk.

Theoretically, as a CEO, he should have his own office. But where exactly is my office?

Ning Zhuochuan wondered, not knowing how to ask. After all, directly asking where his office is would seem strange…

“President Ning, are you looking for Assistant Xue?” The receptionist, seeing her boss standing silently in front of her, tentatively asked.

“…Oh, yes, um… where is he?” Ning Zhuochuan quickly went along with it.

The receptionist smiled, “Assistant Xue arrived early and is waiting for you in your office!”

“………………”

Just as Ning Zhuochuan was about to search the entire floor for his office, the elevator dinged, and a steady male voice sounded from behind him.

“President Ning, you’re here!”

Turning around, Ning Zhuochuan saw a man in his early thirties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiling as he approached. He wore casual slacks and a light blue shirt, holding a tablet, looking like a meticulous, organized, and attentive assistant.

So Ning Zhuochuan tentatively called out, “Assistant Xue?”

“Yes!” Assistant Xue nodded, walking over with a gentle demeanor.

“President Ning, the gift you instructed me to prepare yesterday is ready. It’s in your office. Would you like to take a look?”
