Abandoned Child

When He Jingsheng walked out of the mountain village holding the crumpled admission notice, his trousers were still stained with mud. He ate cold steamed buns to study for exams at a prestigious university, and bought meals and seats for his classmates to build connections. When he graduated, he squeezed into an investment bank with a lot of energy and became an "elite" in suits and ties in the office building. He pursued his boss' daughter Su Wanqing, exchanging his monthly salary for tickets to her favorite art exhibitions, and queuing up all night to buy limited-edition bags on her birthday. Su Wanqing was moved by the "sincerity" in his eyes, and the two got engaged. He Jingsheng thought he had finally stepped on the threshold of upper class society. After the engagement party, Su's father threw him a merger and acquisition plan, targeting the mountain village in his hometown that was to be developed. When He Jingsheng hesitated, Su Wanqing gently advised him to "be aware of current affairs", and he was shocked to realize that this relationship was the Su family's plan from beginning to end - they wanted to use his status as a "local" to lower costs, and they wanted him to personally cut off the connection with the past. He Jingsheng bravely went back to his hometown to negotiate, but was pointed at by the villagers and scolded him for "forgetting his roots". But when he returned to the Su family with the signed agreement, he saw Su Wanqing nestled in the arms of another rich second generation... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
