In Beijing in 2002, housing prices hadn't taken off yet, and coal magnates were still waving their cash around.
Lin Xian, a top venture-capital tycoon in his past life, has returned with his fully maxed-out foresight!
Assets: three courtyard homes within the Second Ring Road, worth billions in the future!
Cash flow: plentiful. Money for the taking in both the stock and property markets!
He runs into a down-on-her-luck mother and daughter.
Lin Xian: “You can stay at my place, but you'll have to sign a contract selling yourself to me.”
From then on, the entertainment industry gains a mysterious “Mr. Lin.”
Invests in The Story of a Noble Family, throws money around to change the casting, and insists that Qianqian play Bai Xiuzhu!
Someone at school is bullying her? He drives over in an S600 to donate a library and fires the snobbish teacher!
The media spreads rumors that he's her sugar daddy? Lin Xian turns around and buys the newspaper: “She's my family's housekeeper, got it?”
Years later, Qianqian stands on the Oscars stage, tears streaming down her face.
The whole internet is trying to guess who the man behind her is.
Lin Xian rolls his eyes from the audience. “Enough with the sentimental stuff. Hurry home, the braised pork isn't cooked yet!”
(This is the cold-hearted warmth of a capitalist: You shine like a star, and I'll be rich enough to buy the world!)
Come on, come on, come on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
