I took over the family business at 18, and it's been eight years now.
My mother left me in the cradle just after I was born and went abroad for work.
My grandma raised me single - handedly with her so - called "elite - style" education. She forced me to learn this and that all day long, demanding that I be the best at everything and achieve full marks in all my performances.
This was all in preparation for inheriting the family business.
Every successor of our Rong family is like a dragon cursed to guard the treasure for generations.
We coil in the pitch - black cave for a lifetime, guarding the countless wealth accumulated by our ancestors.
We don't even know what happiness is.
I resent my grandma.
She trained me into a tool for managing the family business.
She turned me into a monster as cold - blooded, ruthless, and expressionless as she was.
I don't know what changed her.
I don't know when smiles started to appear on my grandma's face.
Even Ke Ran said, "The old hag cackled in front of the screen. It gave me nightmares for several nights!"
This shows that grandma was the childhood nightmare of all the kids in our family.
Later, Ke Ran secretly told me that grandma became like this after she started following a beauty blogger.
She no longer looked gloomy, was no longer fierce or scolding, and greeted everyone with a smile. She was probably brainwashed by a cult.
I checked out that beauty blogger - Xing Zai.
[Famous far and wide, Xing Zai is the coolest.]
It did seem a bit like a pyramid - scheme organization.
To prevent the old hag's strange behavior from affecting the family fortune, I started following her.
I was 22 that year.
I stepped into the pit without any defense and never managed to climb out.
I've been working abroad, living in a high - rise building in the center of New York. Every day, I faced countless meetings, financial tycoons, and financial statements... Life was dull.
The only pleasure was to watch Xing Zai's videos before going to sleep at night.
A dazzling ray of light shone into my dark life.
I loved watching her arrogant look when she cursed at millions of netizens, "Don't be blinded by marketing tactics. All the cosmetics of Moxiang are garbage! I wish it would go bankrupt soon!"
To show support for my idol, I arranged for the investment department to withdraw funds from the "Moxiang" company the next day, which led to its closure.
Some people say that star - chasing is a wonderful thing.
The star's light illuminates the originally dim self, helps us face our inner selves, achieve our dreams, and be grateful for life.
I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the sun.
So I'm really glad that there are stars in this world.
Many people whispered behind my back. With Rong Bo's conditions, is there any woman he can't get?
Yes, there is.
I can't get Song Wenxing.
Although I meet all the criteria of a domineering CEO, I don't plan to coerce a woman like those men.
If you like someone, you should respect their choice and silently protect them.
At 26, I returned to China.
My informant, who handled family affairs in the dark, told me that grandma had recently contacted a hospital in Switzerland to apply for euthanasia.
She made such a shocking decision on her own, without even telling her two daughters. She was so stubborn.
The whole process from application to execution would take about three months. After I learned about this, I spent half a month wrapping up my work in New York.
I decided to find out the reason.
My parents were curious about why I came back. Usually, a child could just say, "I miss my family", which would be reasonable.
But I've always been indifferent to family affection and rarely smiled. If I said such a thing, my parents might think I was crazy.
Fortunately, my mother and grandma had promised earlier to each contribute 15% of the equity and urged me to consider my marriage.
So I had a reasonable excuse: "I need the equity."
The family started arranging blind dates for me in a hurry.
Cheng Yu is my good friend, and he's also Song Wenxing's cousin.
With his help, I successfully got the chance to go on a blind date with Xing Zai.
To avoid scaring her.
I practiced smiling in front of the mirror all night.
I ended up scaring myself.
I gave up.
Before my official meeting with Ms. Song Wenxing.
I had only two goals.
First, to fulfill the family's request.
Second, to chase my star.
But after I saw her.
My thoughts changed.
Her arrogant attitude and eagerness to get rid of me stirred up my competitive spirit.
We had our first date.
I would always arrive early and wait for her, pretending to be on time.
I didn't want her to feel my eagerness.
Then I saw her rescuing a choking kid.
At that moment, she really seemed like an angel.
However, after we entered the park.
I was wrong.
I took back my words about her being an angel.
The 10 - loop roller coaster was really devilish.
She actually loved it.
And she rode it again and again.
It was so devilish.
After the ride, the staff gave us a photo of us together.
Although I was really happy, my face still remained expressionless.
I was so excited.
Finally, I had a real photo with her.
All the previous ones were photoshopped.
Xing Zai's legs were weak.
Without thinking, I picked her up.
Her disgusted look.
Hurt my heart deeply.
We fans all know that Xing Zai is a non - marriage advocate.
If you love someone, don't force them to do things they don't want to do.
She was being pressured by her family to get married. She must have been very distressed.
So I decided to help her out in the form of a cooperation.
If she still decides to leave after our cooperation ends, I'll bless her.
If she decides to stay, it will be my good fortune.
Sure enough, our ideas coincided.
After the date, she said she wanted to ride her motorcycle home.
No way.
Our Xing Zai is so delicate.
What if she gets hurt?
But as a fan, all I could do besides supporting my idol was to silently wish her well.
So I sent a motorcade to escort her.
I hoped Xing Zai would have a great ride.
When I got home, my mom had made her "dark cuisine" again.
Maybe she wanted to make up for her late motherly love.
But I really couldn't stand this kind of love.
I had to go to bed hungry.
The next day, Xing Zai called to ask about me.
Of course, I knew she couldn't really be concerned about me.
Maybe my mom said something to her mom, and she got scolded.
I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.
The mother - in - law and daughter - in - law problem has been around for a long time.
To prevent Xing Zai from being wronged in the future, I'll be more careful in such matters.
A female executive in the company jumped off a building.
I heard it was because of a broken heart.
The public relations department was already dealing with it.
I read the online comments.
I was in a bad mood.
No one can really be invulnerable.
We just try to maintain our dignity and grace.
Speaking with facts and achievements to silence the critics is my usual way of dealing with problems.
Ding.

I was dealing with business while clicking on Xing Zai's live broadcast.
[The female executive of the Rong Group gave up her life for love...]
Me: !!!!
My idol cleared my name!
I'm so happy!
