ADAPTED FROM JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY NOVELS

WRITTEN BY TWENTINE (ZHOU AIHUA)

LINHE SECOND PRISON

Li Xun.

Here.

You have a visitor.

I've contacted several lawyers.

They said

you can appeal during the second trial.

-The prison term may be shortened-- -Why did you come here?

I want to help you.

No need.

So this is your plan,

the thing you hid from me, right?

Everything you did

and all your bizarre acts

were to push me away

and get revenge on Fang Zhijing on your own, right?

Princess,

you're very smart.

When did you start this plan?

From the very beginning.

Six years ago,

on the night I stood

outside the door of your house.

Are you surprised?

Or can you not comprehend it?

There are some things you certainly can't understand

because you have never dealt with misfortune.

My mom was forced to transfer from the ICU to a general ward.

She died.

To save money,

Li Lan moved to a cheaper hotel.

She also died.

In your eyes,

I am just someone at your door begging for mercy

and waiting for charity.

Do you still remember what I said?

You're so hypocritical.

You started a relationship with me

only to satisfy your compassion

that you believe to be noble.

Right?

You hate Fang Zhijing so much,

but both of you are the same kind of people.

You're taking revenge on me.

I first saw you in front of your house.

I thought we would never cross paths again.

Unexpectedly,

we got into the same university and studied the same major.

I didn't plan to provoke you,

but you pestered me.

I pestered you?

Fine.

Then why did you let me pester you?

Because of Blue Crown.

Zhang Xiaobei could steal a project as she wanted,

but your parents could get it back easily.

At that time, I realized

that your family was quite influential.

I found out

that your dad works with medical devices.

This is a profitable industry.

Do you know?

"Improve cancer survival rates by 1%."

L&P's dream

was also customized for me.

Be it L&P

or dreams,

they all have nothing to do with you.

Yes.

Why am I so silly?

Leave.

Don't come here again.

Li Xun.

You said

betrayers shall go to hell.

Just consider me a betrayer.

This sort of thing

will not hold me back anyway.

It doesn't matter if I go to hell.

I have a lot of experience.

After all, throughout my life,

I've been there many times.

I will never betray you.

Li Xun,

I want to start a business with you.

Let's start with L&P.

I love you.

Princess,

do you have a dream?

My dream is

to marry my first love.

NANHU UNIVERSITY

STUDY EXTENSIVELY, PRACTICE EARNESTLY, SEEK IMPROVEMENT CONSTANTLY

MAY IT BE SMOOTH SAILING FROM HERE

YOU HAVE A FUTURE TO RUN TO AND MEMORIES TO LOOK BACK ON

LIBRARY

XUESI BUILDING

Smile.

How about a picture for you two?

Cheese!

Is everyone here?

Almost.

After you graduate,

it will be hard to gather so many people.

This may be the last time

you see each other

in this life.

None of us could have known

that we wouldn't all be here today.

Did you make that, Ms. Fang?

She needs to be in the graduation photo.

How will we prove

that she studied with us for four years?

Come on.

Everyone, please stand in rows.

Quiet down.

Move to the middle a little bit.

Stand properly.

Ren Di.

Come here. Join in.

Gao Jianhong.

Please leave a space

for Li Xun.

We'll Photoshop him in later.

Everyone, look at the camera.

Is watermelon sweet?

-Yes! -Yes!

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm on the way to the airport.

Zhu Yun,

take care of yourself when you get there.

Don't forget.

You still have me.

-And me. -And me.

And me.

Zhu Yun, take care.

We'll be waiting for your return.

-We'll be waiting for you! -We'll be waiting for you!

Do you hear that?

Come back soon.

I know.

Three years later,

Ren Di will be popular.

By then,

Light Red's songs will be everywhere,

Three years later, I'll graduate as a postgraduate.

I'll be nothing.

Zhu Yun,

your company may not surpass Google

but will at least match BAT.

As for Wu Mengxing,

I hope you can have a happy marriage.

By then, I must see your name

on the Forbes China Celebrity List, okay?

Okay, just wait and see.

Okay.

Only at the very beginning,

everything goes

as it really is.

The further it goes, the more it deviates.

I know

that our company's main business

was medical software for various reasons.

You are L&P's senior workers.

But we need to adjust the direction

of the company's future development.

After all, we are not a charity.

Therefore, we have decided

to remove this entire business segment.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mr. Gao,

just be frank with us.

Did you sell our medical software?

Yes, I did sell it.

It's not a secret.

Healthcare needs big investments

and a highly professional technical threshold.

It is slow to yield returns.

A small company like ours

can't support it.

We are but a small horse.

We cannot pull such a big carriage.

It depends on the horse's strength.

You're right.

I can tell you honestly

that the funding for the next step in the company's development

comes from the sale of this software.

Of course,

it also includes your severance pay.

Accounting?

Yes, Mr. Gao.

Regarding the compensation,

Accounting will go over it with you.

Don't worry.

I won't treat you unfairly.

-Please. -This way, please.

Mr. Gao.

-Everyone. -Mr. Gao.

Mr. Gao.

This is not our first time meeting,

but I still want to introduce myself.

My name is Gao Jianhong.

I am the company's new shareholder,

legal person, and general manager.

There is a question that has been bothering me lately.

I was pondering

what the goal of L&P is.

Today, I can tell you clearly

that our goal is

to make a profit.

What is most profitable now?

Online education or shared commerce?

You can air your opinions.

Let's decide on the company's new direction together.

After working with me,

you will know

that I am very open-minded.

I want to make money together with you.

Let's work together

towards L&P's new dream!

-Yes! -Good!

I'm meeting with several investors.

Get on with your work.

-Okay. -Okay, Mr. Gao.

BUSINESS LICENSE

LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, GAO JIANHONG

LINHE SECOND PRISON

Gao.

I heard that you refused to appeal.

Zhu Yun has gone abroad.

That does not concern me.

Do you have to do this?

Will Zhu Yun know of everything you did for her?

Have you completed the change of business registration?

It was completed yesterday.

Gao.

We will only talk about work.

Let's not talk about the past.

Do you need me

to report work in such a place?

I have to warn you

that there is nothing to talk about

but the past.

Do you think you will have a future?

Li Xun,

don't blame me.

I once gave up everything.

Going abroad, postgraduate recommendation,

and everything that our school recommended.

I put aside my pride and self-esteem.

I even gave up on love.

I just wanted to stay far away from you.

But you wouldn't even give me the chance.

Think about what you have done

over these years.

Have you ever considered others' feelings

before deciding?

Who do you care about?

I really hate you sometimes.

How could you be so selfish

and so arrogant?

You have wanted to say that for a long time, right?

Did it feel good to endure humiliation?

Actually,

to submit to humiliation

and ask for insults.

It no longer matters.

What matters is that I have succeeded.

SALE OF RIGHTS

Do you see it clearly?

Let me tell you.

I have sold your whole system.

I don't want an online medical system.

Just think of everything you did

as a stepping stone for my startup.

Li Xun,

L&P has nothing to do with you anymore.

Your 1% can go to hell.

You

have lost.

Don't speak too soon.

There's a long road ahead.

I can take back

what I have given you.

Li Xun, that's the way you are.

You think you are superior, even in prison.

You have such an end

not because of anyone else.

Don't blame Fang Zhijing or me.

It was because you asked for it.

You deserved it.

By the way,

do you know how Fang Zhijing found out about your sister?

I told him.

What did you say?

What did you say?

Li Xun!

Gao Jianhong!

-I'll be waiting for you. -Calm down!

There is a library and computers

in prison.

Enjoy your time.

The new hairstyle suits you well.

I will kill you!

Calm down.

Go. Take him back.

THREE YEARS LATER

SHANGHAI, 2019

Have you decided?

I know

you want to beat that person up

and make him apologize to you on his knees.

The problem is,

do you have to ruin your life

for such a person?

I've been waiting for this moment

for three years.

I don't want money

or a company.

What I want is dignity.

He needs to give back

everything I've lost.

THE GRAVE OF LI LAN

The domestic game market pattern

in the coming years

will see no fundamental changes.

As the first tier has a firm foothold,

it's difficult for new teams and companies

to enter the market.

Of course, some said that

giants can monopolize popularity,

but not creativity.

I came for Gao Jianhong.

When did he get out?

A few days ago.

A few days ago?

How could he get out so soon?

He got a shortened sentence.

By so much? How long has it been?

More than three years.

He only got three years after blinding me?

Fang Zhijing,

do you have to be so scared?

Well, aren't you afraid?

Why should I be afraid?

Why did he have to get out at this time?

Our company is about to be listed.

We can't afford any mishaps.

Li Xun seeks revenge

for the smallest grievance.

He came to our company today.

I am afraid he will make a comeback.

-What does he have? -What does he have?

I think you know better than I do.

No matter how capable he is,

he can't turn the tables.

Three years.

This industry changes so fast.

Three years is enough time

to bring in a new generation of workers

and wipe away everything he knew.

Even so,

he still can learn.

I didn't expect you

to have so much confidence in your old nemesis.

I'm not kidding.

Then let him come at us.

Fang Zhijing,

look at this place.

Look at this building.

Look at how many people

and resources you have.

Then look at him.

What does he have?

We spent three years on these achievements.

Don't tell me that despite all this,

you still don't dare to go against him.

You don't have to ridicule me.

After all,

you are the one who did it,

and you have to pay for it.

But no matter what happens,

we are in the same boat now.

I hope you will win.

Let's drink to the three of us being rich girls!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Zhu Yun, we finally gathered because you have returned.

Although we are in the same city,

I don't get to see Ren Di

as often as her fans do.

What a lousy friend.

That's not true.

You are a busy lawyer.

You even have to count the minutes when you meet with us, right?

But Fang Shumiao,

your career change is quite unusual.

You majored in applied technology,

but you ended up as a lawyer.

She didn't major in applied technology.

She majored in the student union.

That's right.

People have to keep

correcting their trajectory.

I think

the profession of lawyer

suits me very well.

What's the name of your law firm?

My law firm is very famous in Shanghai.

The name consists of the surnames of the three founders.

My boss's surname is He

and my master's surname is Yuan.

Let me tell you.

Mr. He, our boss is really handsome.

It's a pity that he is married.

He married his first love,

whom he met at university.

Like you, his wife is a talented overseas returnee.

What is that?

It's blinding.

You missed her point.

She wants to tell you

that being a lawyer

is a profitable profession.

Don't talk nonsense.

Who buys a diamond ring for themselves?

Which wealthy man bought it for you?

This?

I have to return it in a few days.

It's such a high-value gift.

It needs to be notarized to be effective.

I don't plan to marry him.

I need to return it if we break up.

I'm a bit reluctant to return it.

Look at this bling.

It's so beautiful.

Stop showing it off.

I'm going to be blinded. That's enough.

When you break up,

I'll introduce a good man to you.

Fang Shumiao,

your life is full of changes.

It is colorful.

Come on. Stop showing it off.

I will really go blind.

What was the name of our male classmate?

Wu Mengxing.

Didn't he weep and hug you

during graduation?

Are you still in touch?

He is in the Municipal Youth League Committee.

He has a bright future.

I have a case stuck there.

So have you made up your mind

and plan to lure him in?

Nonsense! His child is about to be born!

So we won't get to listen to a suona solo again.

Well,

tell us about you.

How did you feel

when you saw your old lover?

You went back to the university to try your luck at meeting him, right?

Of course not.

I went back to campus for a look

since I'm about to leave.

I didn't expect it either.

Why are you staring at me?

Are you interrogating me?

Is this an occupational hazard of being a lawyer?

It's not an occupational hazard.

It's just curiosity and gossip about an incredible story.

I don't have any gossip.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

I'll be abroad in two days.

I can't play a role in exaggerated dramas.

Is Li Xun still just as handsome?

He's not as handsome as Wu Mengxing.

What are you whispering about?

What did you say?

A toast to Wu Mengxing.

A toast to Wu Mengxing.

Why are we drinking to Wu Mengxing?

-Just do it. -Just make the toast.

A toast to his wealth.

-A toast! -A toast!

A toast to Fang Shumiao!

Your coffee.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you sleep poorly last night?

It wasn't bad.

You got your wallet back.

Why are you still unhappy?

I'm not.

Do you know

why Li Xun took the key

and then left it behind?

Why?

He took an important item

because he cares.

He left it behind

because he has put it down.

A man revisits an old haunt

to recall the past, grasp the present,

and look into the future.

At last, he decides

to resolutely move on alone.

That's quite sentimental.

Let's go.

Hello, Mom.

Hello, Yunyun.

Are you with Xiuzhu?

He's beside me.

That's good.

Your dad told me to call you to ask

when you will arrive.

We'll arrive soon.

Okay.

I'll make more delicious dishes for you.

She's hurrying us.

The 14th Internet Conference

will have its grand opening in the next few days.

The conference is organized by L&P.

As the city's leading Internet enterprise,

L&P takes the lead

among other game companies as usual.

It has become a benchmarking enterprise for self-developed games in China.

Your two old classmates are doing really well.

L&P will speed up its efforts

on new upgrades and overseas releases

of its current games.

It is committed

to bring Chinese games to the world.

Thank you. I'm here for the money.

Is this for Li Xun?

Li Xun shouldn't have asked Ren Di for money.

It is positioned to empower various lines and industries on the Internet.

This will contribute to…

Li Xun is L&P's major shareholder.

He shouldn't be short on money.

Why did he ask Ren Di for money after he was released?

It is indeed a bit strange.

It has built a bridge of efficient communication

for whole-chain enterprises…

SEARCH BUSINESSES

L&P NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

SIX SHAREHOLDERS

…and healthy development

and wide industry influence.

What's wrong?

GAO JIANHONG, HU WEIQI, ZHANG YITAO

FANG ZHIJING

Li Xun is not on the list of shareholders.

Did he entrust his shares to a proxy?

If the media had known

that L&P's biggest shareholder

was serving a sentence in prison,

it would have impacted L&P's development.

It is possible.

But Fang Zhijing is on the list of shareholders.

Fang Zhijing?

The person who was blinded by Li Xun?

No matter what,

Li Xun would never forgive Fang Zhijing,

nor would he cooperate with him.

I need to go back.

HOW IS A PERSON'S WORTH TESTED?

L&P NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

How about I go in with you?

It's fine.

Actually,

you have nothing to do with them now.

I'm not doing this for anyone.

I also invested efforts in L&P before.

I need to figure out what is going on.

Mr. Gao.

It has been a long time,

old classmate.

It has been a long time.

Let's go.

I'll show you around.

Zhu Yun, you must know

that I'm mainly working on games now.

This is the Project Department.

Look at the hardware.

I require upgrades every six months.

A handy tool makes a handyman.

When we were frogs in a well at the base back then,

we were proud of ourselves.

Now I finally know the talent available out there.

This is the Planning Department.

They quarrel in the conference room daily,

then they quarrel in the office.

There aren't enough conference rooms for them.

I'm going to convert the two upper floors into an open space.

Every month, there should be

at least two brainstorming sessions.

The Legal Department is downstairs.

I had no idea how expensive lawyers are.

They cost millions of yuan per year.

But a big company like this needs them.

I'll show you around downstairs.

Gao.

Let's talk in private.

Okay.

Zhu Yun, what do you think of my company?

I know you graduated

from a famous university

and you're knowledgeable.

But I won't treat you as an employee

if you work in my company.

I will give you stock options.

Why does Fang Zhijing's name appear

in L&P's list of shareholders?

So you're here to question me.

Why does Fang Zhijing's name appear

in L&P's list of shareholders?

Why not?

Fang Zhijing isn't only L&P's shareholder,

but also L&P's vice president, CTO,

and my partner.

Gao, what happened?

Three years ago, Li Xun excluded me

and entrusted the company to you.

You know very well about all that happened

between us and Fang Zhijing.

What you are doing

is like stabbing him with a knife.

I do want to put a knife in him.

What?

Gao, regardless of what happened

between you and Li Xun,

Fang Zhijing can't stay in L&P.

This is Li Xun's company.

This is my company!

You checked L&P's equity structure,

so you should have seen

that Li Xun doesn't hold any shares in L&P.

When he went to prison,

he transferred all the shares to me.

And I've sold your online medical system.

So from then on,

Li Xun no longer had anything

to do with L&P.

You occupied L&P by making use of Li Xun's trust in you.

I should have known that this is not his company.

Li Xun would not have destroyed

L&P's future and reputation for money.

Say whatever you want.

Anyway, I have the final say

in L&P now.

He will not let you go.

To be honest,

since we were in university,

I've been anticipating an all-out contest against Li Xun.

The outcome of this contest

will be incredibly brutal.

Even if Li Xun did something wrong,

he was always sincere with you.

You are still the same as before,

not giving anyone a chance.

You always stand unconditionally by Li Xun's side.

Compared with the pain and suffering

that he has caused me since university,

this is far from enough.

You cannot beat him.

I admit he's a genius,

but this era has no lack of geniuses.

Things are different from our university days.

L&P is teeming with geniuses

just like him.

I can have as many geniuses as I want.

What can he use to beat me?

But you forget one thing.

While there are many geniuses in this era,

there is only one Li Xun.

And there is only one Gao Jianhong.

If you say you regret it now,

I'll consider letting you go.

From today on,

I will be taking L&P back.

What?

You've been in prison?

Who have you brought to the company?

Ms. Zhu.

What a coincidence. It has been a long time.
