In Your World, I'm Just an Outlier

"I like her." He repeated it again, his voice softer, but with a kind of desperate despair and... Relief? "I can't control it... When I see her with others, I will... Feel very uncomfortable. When I see her smile, I will... Be happy. When I see her tired, I will... Want to protect her." "I'm afraid... I won't be able to protect her." When Li Rui, a top student in financial mathematics, used a cheap cocktail called "Forget River Water" to "accurately" splash the powerful Heir Heir He Cheng'an, she thought this would be the most social end of her life. Little does he know that this is just the beginning of her breaking into his sophisticated and cold world. A cold transaction that began with "debt settlement" involved Li Rui, who was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, into Ruifeng Capital, a financial empire controlled by He Chengan. She is an intern who squeezed in here based on her strength, but she is also an unexpected "outlier" in his world of perfect algorithms. He, He Chengan, is a walking capital rule and a precision-operating iceberg. His world is based on profit, efficiency and absolute control as its underlying logic, and does not tolerate any unplanned disturbance. At first, he regarded her as a trouble that needed to be "optimized", and used strict workplace rules to scrutinize, pressure, and even set traps for her. She, Li Rui, is a sober pragmatist and a resilient weed. She worked hard in this incompatible world, using her professional skills and unwillingness to admit defeat to prove her worth bit by bit, and quietly touched his frozen rationality. He appreciated her talent, made exceptions for her on the edge of the rules, acquiesced in her "crossing the line", and even began to provide care beyond the "employer's responsibility" in his clumsy and secret way - a precise technical advice, a humidifier that appeared quietly, and a circle of friends with obscure meanings. She noticed the subtle cracks under his cold shell, her heart beat faster in his rare affirmation, and she struggled repeatedly between reason and throbbing. The relationship between them begins with confrontation and gradually develops appreciation. Between the high-pressure workplace and the invisible class gap, an emotional connection that transcends algorithms dangerously grows. However, He Chengan's world is never an island. The covetous family elders (pressure from father He Mingyuan, warning from mother Su Jin, and scrutiny from grandfather He Zhengyan), internal strife within the family (cousin He Ziming's friends and foes, the calculations of uncles), the marriage partner that the outside world sees as a "match made in heaven" (the sober and sensible Shen family's eldest daughter Shen Qinghe), and the ubiquitous business reefs all form an invisible giant web. His every heartbeat is placed on the scale of risk assessment; every time she approaches, she may become a target for others to attack him. When "outliers" try to challenge the core rules of the system, when the game between "rationality" and "spring spirit" becomes increasingly fierce, what they face is not only mutual inner confirmation, but also an irreconcilable and cruel collision between the two worlds. This was a game destined to be difficult from the start. She bets all her enthusiasm and dignity to become the "optimal solution" in his algorithm; he wavers between cold rationality and lively heartbeat, trying to find space for "outliers" to exist within the rules. But in the end, in the sophisticated algorithm called "He Chengan's Life", can all Li Rui's efforts, sincerity and struggle really be judged as an outlier that needs to be ruthlessly eliminated? "Spring coexists with reason. - But is there really spring in your world, He Chengan?" Concept: Cold algorithms are ultimately difficult to calculate, heartbeat is a variable that cannot be corrected, and love is the most expensive outlier in a rational universe.
