Synopsis: Yan Min learned many things only after he was in a car accident and his soul left his body, leaving him in a vegetative state. The accident had been orchestrated by his business partner, Qu Yanning, general manager of Xihua Information. Yan Min was committed to independent research and development, while Qu Yanning only wanted to make quick money manufacturing products for Americans. Their business philosophies were irreconcilable. After stealing Yan Min’s technology patents, Qu Yanning kicked him out of the company. Yan Min, meanwhile, was preparing to submit evidence of Qu Yanning’s embezzlement and misappropriation of state-owned assets to the relevant authorities. To silence him, Qu Yanning staged the accident. Yan Min feared he wouldn’t live much longer. In fact, he remained in a vegetative state for fourteen years, protected and cared for by a man named Lin Zhengxi. Yan Min also learned that this man, whom he had once rejected, had loved him deeply. Yan Min was certain he would wake up, repay Lin Zhengxi’s devotion, and bring Qu Yanning to justice. At long last, one day Yan Min woke up. Amid his excitement, he realized in a panic that something seemed to have gone wrong. It was now 1990. The Chinese character input card he had developed had just won first prize in the National Science and Technology Progress Awards, making him the brightest new star in China’s IT world. The car accident hadn’t happened yet, and Lin Zhengxi was still in the United States. Yan Min was a little confused. Did he still have to repay Lin Zhengxi’s deep affection? But that wasn’t the main issue right now. The main thing was that he had to leave Xihua and strike out on his own, pursuing independent research and development and defeating Qu Yanning through sheer ability. After going solo, the tech-obsessed Yan Min was horrified to discover that his business hadn’t even opened yet, but he was already running out of money and could barely afford to pay his employees. What was he going to do? Just as he was at his wits’ end, Lin Zhengxi knocked on his office door and asked with a bright smile, “President Yan, looking for a business partner?” Yan Min stared at those flirtatious eyes, startled and delighted. “Y-you’re back?” Lin Zhengxi smiled seductively. “Someone’s grand plans seem to have hit a snag, so I thought I’d come help him weather the storm. It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat crossing. Maybe we can cultivate enough to share a bed, too.” Yan Min’s ears turned red. He spat at him, “In your dreams!” Lin Zhengxi continued his pitch. “You handle the technology, I’ll handle the market. Together, we’ll be unstoppable. What’s Qu Yanning to us? We don’t have to fear the Americans, either. Wouldn’t it be great if we joined forces to build a chip empire?” Yan Min found it hard to resist. “All right!” A young genius techie bottom x a devoted, gentle CEO top Recommended: A new modern romance by a friend, After Inheriting a Fortune Worth Hundreds of Millions, My Wealthy Husband Is Back, by Gongzi Xunhuan.
