《Days of Messing with the CEO》 by Yun Qing
Preface
Recently, I read a book that made me understand the importance of breakfast for women, which is greater than for men.
Yun Qing thought this might explain why women are more prone to morning grumpiness. Physiologically, women are naturally more inclined to eat a bit more and be more emotional.
Take Yun Qing, for example!
She must eat something in the morning, like buying a meat bun nearby or drinking an energy soup (of course, bought outside, as Yun Qing is a foodie who’s too lazy to cook). Otherwise, she’ll unconsciously wear a sour expression all day and find everyone irritating! Although Yun Qing usually doesn’t see anyone after waking up, with just herself sitting in front of the computer, breakfast is absolutely crucial. Eating well and eating enough is essential for her.
Perhaps because Yun Qing herself loves food, even to the point of being obsessed with delicious cuisine, the book’s female protagonist – the omnipotent and gluttonous Ke Xin, who would even sell out her marriage without hesitation – is a reflection of Yun Qing’s own desire for life. Of course, she’s one of the few characters Yun Qing is reluctant to sell to a publishing house.
Because she originally wanted to write many stories about her gluttony. Those stories might include various foods: like first meeting a male lead who’s expert in delicate Japanese cuisine, then meeting another who’s great at sushi, then perhaps encountering a male lead skilled in Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and soon after, another who’s proficient in French cuisine…
Ah! Just imagining this, Yun Qing would want this female protagonist to have seventy or eighty different romances, just to taste cuisines from around the world! Finding a legitimate reason, pretending to be gathering material, and then spending money to enjoy good food – isn’t that one of life’s greatest pleasures?
But… oh…
This dream is crushed because Yun Qing is just a poor, poor little writer. So… she’ll have to turn her adorable glutton princess into a poor thing satisfied with just bak kut teh noodles!
