The Little CEO Who Fell from the Sky

Synopsis:

Gao Xiang was born in the countryside in the early 1960s and failed the college entrance exam. After taking an investment-related test, he landed a job at a township-run enterprise. Unfortunately, the factory was struggling, so through his wife’s brother, He Bing, he found work in the coastal city of Haibin. On the way there, he happened to meet Lin Maoliang, chairman of Huamao Group, who was traveling to search for relatives. Gao Xiang had trained in martial arts with his grandfather since childhood and was skilled at standing up for those being bullied. After he taught a man and a woman who had been harassing Lin Maoliang a lesson, the chairman took a liking to him. Lin arranged a job for Gao Xiang, and they traveled back to Haibin together.

Within just a few months, Gao Xiang’s hard work and perseverance earned him the respect of the manager of Huamao Group’s Haibin Auto Parts Factory.

One day, in a conversation with Chairman Lin, Gao Xiang learned that Lin had another son in Hongjia Village, where Gao Xiang’s mother was from. Lin did not know whether the boy was alive or dead, so he asked Gao Xiang to go home and find out what had happened to him.

Back in his hometown, Gao Xiang went to great lengths to find out what had happened to Hong Jiao, but unexpectedly, his mother, Hong Dafeng, tried to stop him.

Gao Xiang couldn’t make sense of it. By chance, he overheard his father drunkenly mumbling and learned that he was not their biological son. He had no choice but to go to Hongjia Village himself to investigate. Yet even his uncle was evasive. Sensing that something was amiss, Gao Xiang asked his father-in-law and learned that Hong Jiao’s entire family had moved away and their whereabouts were unknown. He also discovered that Chairman Lin’s child was still alive…
