I've definitely seen and enjoyed many instances of the BL dynamic of like, the poor downtrodden guy who thinks he's an anti-catch and worships the amazing shining rich top of the food chain guy in his life, assumes he's invisible or worthless to him, but actually he's the one person who gives the shining guy space to breathe and let down his walls and be himself.
But the very funnysilly thing with Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang is that that version of the dynamic ONLY exists in Gao Tu's head. Everybody around them can see that Gao Tu is hypercompetent and patient and socially graceful and literally perfect, that Shen Wenlang can't function without him, and that their company would fall apart without Gao Tu holding Shen Wenlang up, that Shen Wenlang can only communicate with Gao Tu to interpret and smooth things over for him. THAT SHEN WENLANG IS A HUMAN/S-TIER ALPHA DISASTER.
So truly only Gao Tu is living that "I'm a mere bunny worshipping a noble wolf" life. Everyone else is like damn this friendless pain-in-the-ass who gets his butt kicked by other CEOs in parking lots sure is lucky to have this amazing beta by his side. And did you know? They're not even dating! Gao Tu has an entire other omega wife at home, yet he's so good to Shen Wenlang. True platonic love really does exist...
