Shen Wan spent seven years helping Zhou Kai rise from an obscure junior employee to the position of vice president of the group.
She secured investments for him, negotiated with clients, took his place at drinking engagements, and worked through the night. She even hid the fact that she was the group's heir, all to preserve his laughable pride.
But at the celebration banquet for the company's three-hundred-million-yuan deal, Zhou Kai handed the fruits of her two years of work to another woman.
That woman wore a dress Shen Wan had given her and held Shen Wan's boyfriend's arm as she tearfully announced that she was pregnant.
Then a forged email accusing Shen Wan of leaking confidential information nailed her to the industry's pillar of shame.
She was fired, humiliated, and cursed by the entire internet.
Everyone waited to watch her fall from the clouds into the dirt.
But they didn't know that the mysterious investor who had died three years earlier was Shen Wan's father.
The funding, clients, technology, and connections that kept the company alive had all once come from the Shen family.
On the day she left the company, Zhou Kai sneered at her:
“Without the company, you're nothing.”
Shen Wan took off her employee badge and walked away.
Three days later, the three-hundred-million-yuan deal was put on hold.
Seven days later, the bank cut off the company's credit line.
A month later, the company ran out of cash.
At last, Zhou Kai knelt in the pouring rain and begged her to come back.
Shen Wan held up her umbrella and walked slowly past him.
“You've got it wrong.”
“Without me, you're the ones who are nothing.”
