Background / History

Dong Linlin works as the sales supervisor at Xinghai Bay No. 1. During a crowded day at the sales office, she notices that Li Xian has been left unattended and intercepts him before he leaves. She apologizes for the oversight, then personally takes him to inspect the model rooms despite her supervisory duties. 17

Her conversations with Li Xian reveal shared interests in fitness, home decoration, and anime. Although she recognizes his interest in her, she initially keeps their interactions professional and avoids excessive personal contact due to her experience handling clients with ulterior motives. 20 21

Li Xian repeatedly messages her about extravagant meals, eventually prompting her to invite him to lunch. During their meal, he gives her Dior perfumes; in return, she agrees to help manage the furnishing and decoration of his two apartments. 26 28 30
