Story introduction
32-year-old Lu Shihan is the top acquisition expert in the financial circle and the youngest partner of Dinghua Capital. He is precise, ruthless and never defeated, and is known as the "sniper" in the industry. 28-Year-old Shen Man is the owner of an independent bookstore that is on the verge of bankruptcy. He is also the last "nail shop" in the mall who refuses to sign a relocation agreement.
Lu Shihan was ordered to clear the scene, but Shen Man vowed to stay behind. Their first encounter was on a rainy night - he walked to the wrong floor and stepped on the tape she used to tape the cardboard boxes. She didn't know who he was, just a lost stranger.
Formal negotiations quickly turned into a back-and-forth. Lu Shihan used his usual accurate models and rational words, but Shen Man used an article with three million views and a story about his father's design of a light well, which made all business calculations lose their color. She doesn't care about money. What she wants to keep is the light that shines in at 3:30 every afternoon in the building that her father participated in designing.
Lu Shihan could have used legal means to push forward, but he didn't. He called up the data model and spent three days calculating an account that no one had expected - retaining the bookstore would create greater business value. The plan passed and the bookstore was saved. And he found that he had done something he had never done before: settling a score for an opponent that he shouldn't have.
From rivals to friends, from friends to people who dare not get close. Lu Shihan was afraid of losing control, and Shen Man was afraid of losing. The two people who "can't love" got closer to each other inch by inch in the business game and the torrent of the city. What they face is not only the doubts from the outside world, the hidden arrows in the workplace, and the shadows of the past, but also the question that everyone has to answer - on the premise of protecting ourselves, can we still bravely love another person?
This is a story about persistence and compromise, reason and emotion, loss and gain. It does not sell perfect characters or create bloody misunderstandings. It only tells how two ordinary people can live up to the light that each other most wants to keep in reality.
Intention: love
