Gu Xuyin is a man of integrity, enormously talented, and from a prominent family, yet he's spent years building a business on his own.
Recently, he made a sudden, high-profile return to take a position in the family group. His methods are decisive, and his authority is unmistakable.
And so the comfortable days of Zhao Shijin, the group's famous pretty face who spends all day gaming at work, come to an end.
Working outdoors in the wind and sun, doing physical labor or filthy jobs: any one of them could be the death of her.

Gu Xuyin rises calmly and walks over, bracing one hand against the wall beside her face. In a low voice, he says, "Me and high-intensity work. Choose again."
Zhao Shijin: ???

Colleague A: Shijin always says her gaming partner treats her so well. Why did she break up with him?
Colleague B: What's the point of being good at games? (quietly) What if he's short, poor, and ugly in real life?
Colleague A: True. So many rich second-generation guys are after Shijin. She should pick someone wealthy.
At the door, Zhao Shijin catches Gu Xuyin raising an eyebrow. She hurriedly waves her hands. "No, that's not it. Let me explain..."
