The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 118: Chapter 084: The Whole Family Is Top-grade (Part 16)_2

The male lead, ahem, was of course arguing with the female lead.

Although it was two years earlier, the power of destiny was just so magical.

Even with He Tiantian as a variable, their fated union still operated along its predetermined trajectory.

What was even more astonishing was that the male lead and female lead’s meeting was actually because of He Tiantian.

”...In the just-concluded Asian Games archery women’s individual competition, our country’s eighteen-year-old athlete He Tiantian won the championship with a Full Ring score!”

”This is Hua Country’s first Asian Games gold medal in archery, a breakthrough from zero!”

In the restaurant, on the bar of the first-floor lobby, there was a television displaying the latest updates from the Asian Games.

The patrons who came for a meal heard that another Hua Country athlete had won a gold medal and couldn’t help but cheer in unison.

Such joy radiated from within, a spirit of exhilaration that was utterly natural and sincere.

”He Tiantian? It’s actually her?”

Yan Xingzhou’s seat wasn’t far from the bar, and being tall, he just needed to glance up slightly to see the news broadcast on that small screen.

In the somewhat blurry video footage, a vaguely familiar face flashed by.

Yan Xingzhou had not met He Tiantian many times, five times at most.

The number of times they met was few, and each meeting was not pleasant, especially the last one—

Whenever he recalled that day, He Tiantian’s beautiful face was filled with scorn, and her words tortured Yan Xingzhou’s pride and self-esteem bit by bit.

It was truly engraved in Yan Xingzhou’s heart.

And He Tiantian’s arrogant and overbearing face was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Because of her, Yan Xingzhou left the military life he once loved.

Because of her, Yan Xingzhou resolutely ventured into the unfamiliar world of business.

Because of her, Yan Xingzhou had a very unpleasant fallout with his family.

Because of her...

Yan Xingzhou’s world changed because of He Tiantian, but it definitely wasn’t because Yan Xingzhou loved He Tiantian too much, nor was it unrequited love spurring him to strive harder.

Rather, it was a profound humiliation and sorrow.

He Tiantian was indeed young and beautiful, but Yan Xingzhou did not like her.

Also, due to the Top-grade actions of the He Family over the years, he felt some aversion towards He Tiantian.

And yet, such a person raised by a clown-like family, who was good for nothing but her looks, dared to disdain and belittle him, Yan Xingzhou?!

No one knew how deeply Yan Xingzhou felt humiliated and defeated internally when He Tiantian ran to the Yan Family to call off their marriage.

Being ”abandoned” by a woman he looked down upon was absolutely a disgrace in the life of Yan Xingzhou, who had been proud and confident for over twenty years!

Yan Xingzhou voluntarily applied for a transfer from the military and resolutely went to the Southern region to do business, not to prove anything to anyone, but to wash away his own disgrace.

He, Yan Xingzhou, was not just a frivolous offspring reliant on his parents.

Even if he had to leave the military life he loved the most and break away from the protection of his ancestors and father, he could forge his own world by himself!

Months passed, and Yan Xingzhou, a newcomer, struggled in the commercial sea.

He had been cheated, had lost money, and endured a path full of hardships and storms, the difficulties of which go without saying... but Yan Xingzhou had persevered through it all.

Through failure, he finally learned the ways of business and even stumbled upon a business opportunity by chance.

This time he came to Shanghai for the soon-to-open stock exchange.

This was to be Hua Country’s first stock exchange and the starting point for Yan Xingzhou to become a tycoon in the business world.

In the original script, Yan Xingzhou was one of the first to seize the opportunity, and the huge profits he made were envied by later generations.

With the first bucket of gold he dug out from the stock exchange, Yan Xingzhou’s business seemed to sprout wings, developing rapidly.

Of course, how Yan Xingzhou thrived in the stock exchange wasn’t detailed by the author of the novel.

This book was originally an online romance novel; it hardly contained any corporate battles.

The author simply and bluntly stated in a few words: the male lead made a lot of money, and he was very impressive.

The segment of the male lead ”mining gold” at the stock exchange was far less detailed than the one describing the first meeting between the male lead and the female lead two years later.

And this time, without He Tiantian’s interference and a butterfly effect on the timeline,

here was Yan Xingzhou, merely coming to Shanghai ahead of time to prepare for the opening of the stock exchange in a month, casually eating at a roadside restaurant, and just like that, he ”triggered” the plot.
