Ning Dong's family fell on hard times when she was young. Dependent on others, she lived a bleak and joyless life.
When she was twelve, she was sheltering from the rain beneath the eaves. A wealthy middle-aged man came in from the rain, accompanied by a boy who looked to be around her age.
Handsome, refined, with a faint air of aloofness.
The man was very polite.
“It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Chen Guodong, and this is my son, Chen Zhiyuan.”
“Your brother Ning has helped us a great deal. If you ever need anything, you can come to Zhiyuan or me.”

Everyone turned to look and immediately held their breath. It was none other than a representative of the company they were currently bidding to work with.
His jaw was set, his tall figure straight as a pine in the mist, distant and indistinct.
Before long, his cool gaze fell directly on a certain confident face.
Then he turned and walked away without looking back.

Chen Zhiyuan taught her to be confident and resolute, and hoped she would soar as high as the sky. But Ning Dong harbored other thoughts.
