The Boss' Boss :Dual life of Mr Chen
Chen Gayung, the enigmatic CEO of Cheng Corp, lived a life of luxury and mystery. Few people knew his true identity, and even fewer had seen his face. But behind the façade of power and wealth, Chen harbored a secret: he was deeply in love with Titi Adebayo, an executive director at one of his Nigerian branches.
Titi, a stunning African beauty, had recently recovered from a life-threatening tumor that had left her with memory loss. Her father, Femi, a wealthy businessman, had delayed her treatment for the sake of a lucrative investment that ultimately backfired, leaving him bankrupt. The experience had left Titi with a deep-seated distrust of rich men and a preference for simplicity.
Chen, determined to win Titi's heart, devised a plan. He would pretend to be poor and work as her personal assistant, hoping to gain her trust and affection. Titi, unaware of Chen's true identity, was initially hesitant but grew to appreciate his kindness and dedication.
As Chen navigated his dual life, he encountered numerous challenges. In Nigeria, he faced cultural shock and was duped several times due to his naivety as a foreigner. Despite these setbacks, he persevered, driven by his love for Titi.
Meanwhile, Titi struggled to regain her memories. Chen discovered that the cure lay in a traditional Nigerian remedy, and he traveled to the country to find it. His journey was filled with humorous misadventures, from accidentally joining a local dance troupe to getting scammed by a street vendor.
Upon his return to China, Chen continued to work as Titi's assistant, hiding his true identity. However, Titi soon discovered the truth about his wealth and was disheartened. She felt betrayed and wondered if his love was genuine or just a ploy to manipulate her.
