Synopsis
Life is like a fund, people come and go, ebb and flow. When he meets Zhou Jingyi, a cool and up-and-coming writer, Teng Songxian realizes that some people are born for art and beauty. After meeting the weird mathematics professor Zhang Yuantao, Teng Songxian knew that some people would eventually dedicate themselves to academics. After meeting the investment genius Niu Zhuoran, Teng Songxian learned that some people may seem ordinary but have extraordinary talents. When Teng Songxian meets Yang Naiqing, a coward and wealthy second-generation man, Teng Songxian realizes that his love rival and his friend are actually in the same mind. Teng Songxian's life code cannot escape his fate with funds, from XX Fund to Zhuoyu Fund to Tengyi Fund. The encounter between people is like the encounter between people and funds. They may experience highs and stay together at lows; or they may only enjoy wealth and cannot bear ups and downs. Story one: He hugged her tightly, and Zhou Jingyi's heart melted. She seemed unable to refuse his hug. Although he was sometimes childish, ridiculous and irritating, a hug could make all the unhappiness disappear. After dinner, the two cuddled up and sat on the wicker chairs on the balcony to watch the sunset. Zhou Jingyi had too many questions to ask him. "Is it because you won't come back if auntie doesn't call you?" Zhou Jing asked, pretending to be angry. "Fool, I will be back." Teng Songxian responded softly. "Why?" Zhou Jing looked puzzled and blinked into his eyes. "I can't imagine you being with another man, not even for a second." Teng Songxian expressed his feelings. Story two: "Are you not drunk?" Zhao Na pursed her lips slightly, trying to break away from his hand. "The night is sultry. If you are not drunk with wine, everyone will get drunk." Such unserious words came out of Zhang Yuantao's mouth, which shocked Zhao Na. "Are you feeling better?" Zhao Na wanted to change the topic, but didn't know how to respond to his sudden poetry. "It could be better." Zhang Yuantao suddenly loosened his grip on her hand and gently wrapped his arms around her, as if he wanted to see the expression on her face carefully. She was so beautiful in the night that people's hearts trembled. Zhang Yuantao felt an abnormal feeling surge through his body and looked at her affectionately, as if he wanted to see her deep in his heart. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, maybe he had longed for it hundreds of times, and his lips met her. Zhao Na did not refuse. Unexpectedly, her positive response made him taste more sweetness. When masters fight each other, their moves will naturally be fatal. She originally thought that Zhang Yuantao's skills would be as boring as his profession, but Zhao Na was surprised by Clinker's sudden kiss. He was not that boring at all. His teasing and temptation made her unable to help but expect more. Life 1: "I'm sorry that I ignored you today." Zhou Jingyi whispered apologetically. After pausing for a few seconds, she stood up and spoke slowly: "I have my own rules for dealing with the opposite sex." Zhou Jingyi said firmly, but she was a little sullen in her heart. What was the man in front of her questioning? "I don't believe that a man can be unconditionally good to a woman." Teng Songxian insisted on his own thoughts. People always think that men and women only get along for the sake of mundane love and lust, but Zhou Jingyi is willing to believe that sincere goodwill will make the troubled mind pay attention to the charm of men and women as human beings. "The friendship between gentlemen has nothing to do with men and women." Once Zhou Jing understood the man's unreasonable possessiveness, she just insisted on her own way of doing things. "Jingyi, I just hope that we treat each other wholeheartedly." Teng Songxian looked straight at Zhou Jingyi. When he said these words, Zhou Jingyi became a little timid. She understood that she needed free space more than full love. "I can't give you 100% love." Zhou Jing had a firm look in her eyes and spoke calmly, her tone a bit stiff. Her words made Teng Songxian look in disbelief, and he even suspected that he had never understood her. "When the moon is full, it overflows. Too much love hurts others and hurts yourself." Zhou Jing revealed her inner voice and looked at him candidly. If she loved him with 80% of her heart, she wanted to keep the remaining 20% to herself. When there is deep love, people in love are always superstitious that each other is everything to them, but Zhou Jingyi believes in human nature. After all, if you love yourself, you will never be let down. Life 2: Zhang Yuantao came in a hurry, with a few beads of sweat on his head. The moment he saw Zhao Na, the dazzling beauty took away his soul. He is stingy and doesn't want others to see her beauty, so he selfishly wants to hide it. As smart as he is, he seems to understand the theme of today's meeting between the two. "Sorry, I'm late." Zhang Yuantao didn't dare to look into her eyes and sat down uneasily. "Yuantao, what do you like about me?" Zhao Na was unusually calm and straight to the point. There was a slight smile on his face, but there was a hint of sadness. The words he liked about everything were not spoken out. Zhang Yuantao understood that his love for her at that time was not pure enough, and his many demands on her in the name of love were just to satisfy his selfish desires. Looking at her firmly, Zhang Yuantao said sincerely: "Nana, I did not do well, can you forgive me?" He loves her, and he can change. "I want to go back to my old self." After a long time, Zhao Na said. "I like you who laugh, I like you who are real." Zhang Yuantao suddenly realized that Zhao Na was not as happy as before. It was his paranoid possessiveness that imprisoned her. "I want to reconsider our relationship." Zhao Na said lightly, she just knew how to love herself more.
