On the surface, Lu Chen is an ordinary office worker who rides an electric scooter to work and earns 3,500 yuan a month typing up documents. In reality, he is a hidden tycoon who owns stakes in forty-seven companies and controls prime real estate and private equity funds, secretly directing trillions in assets through his assistant, Kong Ji. When coworkers question him and his boss, Wang Jianguo, tests him, Lu Chen stays calm and plays along, quietly setting a trap. Meanwhile, Lu Mingyuan and others close in on the affiliated land parcels of Jinshi Group. As Lu Chen conceals his true identity, he maintains a steady relationship with his girlfriend, Lin Xue, waiting until all the hidden schemes are laid bare before telling her the truth. But Lu Mingyuan discovers Lu Chen’s weakness: Lin Xue. He tries to use her to prise open the entire game. Lu Chen goes from an ordinary employee to making a public appearance and breaking three years of silence. In the end, he rides off with Lin Xue on his electric scooter, disappearing into the afternoon sunlight of Shenzhen. He is not an heir, but a man paying off his father’s debt: fulfilling a promise a township Party secretary never voiced, to the people and to his family.
