The Difficult Road to Repaying An Act of Kindness 报恩那么难 by 席绢 Xi Juan (HE)

This is the taste! Boy does she miss the taste, the warmth…… ah, the memories!

For this taste, she willingly gives up a high-paying job to join a useless, rich-second generation as his secretary. Many think that she is hired by Old Master Chew as a potential daughter-in-law and are very nice to her; how wrong can they be? So what if her boss is handsome and rich, what has it got to do with her?

Her aim has always been the Head Cook of the staff canteen at Chew Corp, for only his food, his future …… lays the path to her redemption. But who would have thought that repaying an act of kindless is so difficult that even a super secretary encounters all sorts of obstacles and difficulties?

Main Characters of the story:

Wang You Zhen (王攸贞) – super secretary who jump ship to join Chew Corporation. Her joining the company did improve the company’s bottom line but her true aim of joining the company is not to become the wife of its future-CEO as many has speculated, but to repay the kindness of her benefactor. Her benefactor has provided food and shelter for young You Zhen during the worse period of her life, and she has this wonderful plan to help their son as repayment for his parent’s kindness.

Fang Chang (方畅 )– Head Cook of the staff canteen in Chew Corp. He is drop-dead handsome but is super nonchalant towards life, work and friends. He distrusts people and the number people whom he care about can probably fill up one hand nicely. However, something about Super Secretary Wang intrigues him for she is definitely not as super as she seems to be. Will he give her a chance to get close?

Zhou Shao (周劭) – Unwilling Deputy CEO of Chew Corp. He likes to pursue a career in the Arts but alas, family obligations has thrown him into a hot corporate seat that everyone seems to want, except him. He is the boss of Wang You Zhen and one of the few whom Fang Chang considers a friend.  He treats his staff well and has a tendency to send flowers to his secretary.

  • I get excited when I see recommendations of Taiwanese novels like “A Mistaken Marriage” or “Singing Spring Melody” so how can I stay silent?
    Although Xi Juan is a popular writer, most of her books including the famous one “The Man Sleeping Beside Me” is utterly boring for me. However, I like her story on a Super Secretary who tries to repay and act of kindness and gets into all sorts of trouble.
    She is indeed very efficient at work, but as a person, she is warm, dorky, and very adorable to the man whom she considers a boyfriend. As for Fang Chang, he is a handsome, unambitious man. He may be cool to the point of being aloof but to his friends, he is always ready to give his all. Little wonder Zhou Shao is so close to him. With good friends like him, who else would he need? Hope you like the story.

  • Oh my! Thanks for sharing this book!
    her personality seems quite awesome!
    does fang chang know she is here to repay his parents kindness?
    if he only sees her as a friend... will there be romance then?

  • He is a loner at heart and did not pay her any heed until she moved him with her cute antics. He finally get to know about her trying to repay a debt and got really angry, or rather insecure.
