Episode 1: Gu Xingyan returns to China to investigate the truth

Gu Xingyan was studying abroad and working three jobs at the same time. The jewelry major she studied was very expensive, so even working three jobs to afford the tuition and living expenses was very difficult. She had no choice but to borrow money from a place based on the recommendation of a friend. But the other party rejected her request to borrow money. Later, Gu Xingyan had to take the jewelry she designed to sell at a street stall.

By chance, she met Lin Zhe, a Chinese compatriot. The two became stall holders, and Gu Xingyan also taught Lin Zhe her experience. This place has a large flow of people, and it is easier to escape because the urban management will still take care of it. This is a geomantic treasure.

Gu Xingyan saw the news on the Internet that her mother Tang Wanrong died of illness in prison, and she was very sad. She recalled watching her mother being taken away when she was a child. She would have been free in a year, but she left just like that. A year later, Gu Xingyan returned to China. She was planning to find a job in China, but the result was not very smooth. So she set up a street stall again.

But he was targeted by a thief and stole a box of jewelry. Fortunately, he met Lin Yi halfway. Lin Yi was going to attend the banquet of Dongchen Jewelry Group. As the general manager, he could not be absent, but he was blocked in the middle of the road. He was going to be late, so he decided to take the subway. Just in time to meet Yiyong, Gu Xingyan snatched back Gu Xingyan’s box, but his mobile phone was stolen.

In order to express her gratitude, Gu Xingyan gave him a box of jewelry in exchange for his mobile phone. Lin Yi didn’t want it at first, but Gu Xingyan chased her all the way, so he accepted it. Li Zhuoran, the chairman of Dongchen Jewelry, took the stage to speak first, but everyone seemed to have some opinions on him. Dongchen Jewelry was not the result of Li Zhuoran alone. He didn’t say anything on the surface, but privately he couldn’t stand his calm look.

Because Dongchen was facing an acquisition, Li Zhuoran wanted to take away Lin Yi’s right to speak, so he arranged for someone to steal Lin Yi’s mobile phone information. Lin Yi contacted Lin Zhe and asked him to help him make an anti-hacker small program. Lin Yi Zhe is a master in this area and can make it in just one hour. Sure enough, this small program helped Lin Yi a lot.

Sure enough, at night, Li Zhuoran arranged for hacker Charlie to attack Lin Yi’s computer in order to obtain important files on his computer, but he was counterattacked and the files on Charlie’s computer were also destroyed. Li Zhuoran was not so panicked. He knew that Lin Yi was wary, but this battle was a battle of annihilation and he had to win.

Lin Yi was previously an employee of Tang Wanrong, chairman of Dongchen Group. He saw Tang Wanrong being taken away with his own eyes. At that time, Gu Xingyan was still young and she was brought up by her adoptive parents who treated her very well. They and Tang Wanrong Wanrong is an old acquaintance. Gu Xingyan’s adoptive mother told her that her mother’s arrest was not an easy matter, so she asked her to study abroad and become a Canadian citizen as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Gu Xingyan received an offer from Dongchen Jewelry. She returned home this time to get into Dongchen Jewelry for a purpose, which was to find out her mother’s grievances. Gu Xingyan met Lin Yi in the elevator on her first day at the company. She thought Lin Yi was chasing her company because of his cell phone. Later, when she met other colleagues, she realized that the person in front of her was Lin Yi. She had seen this person at home back then, but Lin Yi did not recognize her as Tang Wanrong’s daughter.
