Cordelia, an IT engineer, worked diligently to develop a new system that helped the company secure billions in investment. However, the newly appointed CEO, Mr. Aldric, not only slashed her million-yuan bonus to -250 but also replaced her with his inexperienced lover, Isolde, rewarding Isolde with three million in an attempt to force Cordelia to resign. Heartbroken, Cordelia strictly adhered to company regulations from then on, refusing to put in any extra effort, which ultimately led to the system’s launch failure. When investors demanded answers, Mr. Aldric tried to pin the blame on Cordelia and make her bear the ten-billion-yuan loss. To his surprise, the investors treated Cordelia with utmost respect.
