After all, the eldest son is good in every way except that he cannot be with her. After a long time, she inevitably felt lonely, so she gave birth to Ji Mufeng, but she did not expect it to be another boy.

With Jin Hechen as an example, the elders and others in the family naturally became critical when looking at Ji Mufeng.

He realized that Ji Mufeng did not have any business talent that could surpass Jin Hechen.

Jin Zaixu and Ji Xingye gradually withdrew their attention from their second son and concentrated on raising their eldest son.

Therefore, before he had independent thoughts, Ji Mufeng always believed that the meaning of his existence in the world was to accompany his mother.

Because of the different treatments from those in power in the Jin family, no one had ever had any expectations for Ji Mufeng. Even the servants in the house regarded him as a dispensable existence.

Ji Mufeng had been living in a state of confusion throughout his past.

No one told him what he should do or what his goal should be.

He stayed by his mother's side obediently and spent his childhood like this...

When Ji Mufeng was 15, it was the first turning point in his life.

At that time, his mother fell in love with baking. She would go to the company every afternoon to bring snacks she made to her husband and eldest son, and ask Ji Mufeng to accompany her.

Although Ji Mufeng is also the young master of a chaebol family, he is different from his brothers in that he has never been to the place where his grandfather and father work.

While his mother was talking to his brother, he sneaked out of the office out of curiosity and unknowingly walked into the practice room where several teenagers were practicing dancing.

One of the boys noticed him peeking at the window and invited him to come in and play.

That young man was Duan Huaiyu.

The boy had a light in his eyes as he and his friends sweated in the practice room.

"At that time, I didn't understand why they were so happy." Ji Mufeng said in a confused tone.

"I learned from Su by chance that Duan's family situation was not good at the time. He participated in the boy band talent show in order to get the debut bonus and pay off his mother's debts."

"His mother was deceived and became a guarantor for someone, which resulted in her owing a huge debt. Teacher Duan was also desperate and was discovered by a scout by chance and became a trainee."

Ji Mufeng didn't understand at that time why Duan Huaiyu was smiling all the time and exuding positive energy even though he was carrying a heavy burden.

It seems that no difficulties can overwhelm him. Under his leadership, there is always laughter in the practice room and everyone practices very enthusiastically.

Ji Mufeng had also seen the gloomy expression on Duan Huaiyu's face when he was talking on the phone alone, but when he tried to step forward to comfort him, Duan Huaiyu saw him and smiled warmly again.

That was the first time his heartstrings were touched.

After that, every time his mother went to deliver desserts to his father and brother, Ji Mufeng would find an opportunity to sneak into Duan Huaiyu and their practice room.

Unlike Duan Huaiyu, the other older brothers in the practice room all dream of being able to stand on the stage and be active in the spotlight of the entertainment industry for a long time.

Ji Mufeng once asked Duan Huaiyu what it felt like to perform on stage.

"At that time, he told me: 'It is a very wonderful feeling. When you grow up and stand on the stage in person and hear the fans' support from the audience, you will understand the feeling I am talking about.'"

Ji Mufeng chuckled and said, "It was because of this sentence that I asked my mother for the first time. I wanted to become a trainee."

His mother did not stop him, but supported him. However, Ji Mufeng knew that the reason why she supported him was because it would not pose a threat to his brother...

In fact, we can tell from the surnames. The elder brother was given the surname of his grandfather, Jin; while he, who was not valued, took his father's surname.

Grandpa, father, mother...they all have the same thoughts.

Ji Mufeng clearly realized since he was a child that to his family, as long as he had no intention of seizing power from his brother, it didn't matter what he did, even if he was mediocre all his life.

During the long period of time since he left the Jin family, Ji Mufeng was searching for his "self".

At that time, Ji Mufeng's grandfather who was far away in the south wanted to expand his business to domestic entertainment. It happened that the newly emerging Yixing Entertainment was thriving in City A, and domestic entertainment was experiencing a revival. So his grandfather sent his father back to China to catch up with the revival and set up a subsidiary in City A.

With the strong capital backing of the Jin family, AK Entertainment, which was registered under his father's name, quickly rose to become an entertainment company second only to Yixing Entertainment. Ji Mufeng was one of the first trainees of AK Entertainment.

After becoming a trainee, his life became busy. The instructors would often motivate them to practice through internal competitions. The trainees were under high-pressure conditions and received closed training with almost military-style management every day.

Ji Mufeng always comes first in PK.

Until Jiang Xiubai arrived.

When Ji Mufeng saw Jiang Xiubai for the first time, he felt that he was very different from other people. He didn't like to communicate with others and always kept to himself, but his grades were among the best. However, he didn't take his grades seriously and always looked indifferent.

During his break time, Jiang Xiubai would always listen to music alone with headphones. Unlike other trainees, he would not complain about how heavy the schoolwork was or how much pressure he was under... He was a special person.

After a long time, Ji Mufeng began to be curious about what kind of music he always listened to.

In class, Ji Mufeng took the initiative to propose to team up with Jiang Xiubai, and he thought he would not agree.

Somehow, the two teenagers who had never made friends became friends. Ji Mufeng secretly learned about Jiang Xiubai's favorite music just to have more topics to talk about with Jiang Xiubai.

Influenced by the environment in which he grew up, Ji Mufeng is a typical dependent personality. After becoming friends with Jiang Xiubai, he unconsciously turned Jiang Xiubai's dream into his own dream.

When Jiang Xiubai wanted to form an underground rock band, he unconditionally supported it and served as the lead singer.

Jiang Xiubai wanted to give up the opportunity to debut in a boy band and participate in the music variety show "Rock Boy" to compete for the opportunity to debut in a band. Ji Mufeng signed up with him without saying a word.

Ji Mufeng always concealed the fact from Jiang Xiubai that he did not fall in love with rock music spontaneously. Back then, he just wanted to achieve a goal with Jiang Xiubai. As for what this goal was, it was not that important to him.

However, his brother, who returned to China due to work transfer and became the general manager of AK Entertainment, misunderstood.

"'Ji Mufeng's real dream is to become an idol and stand on the stage'. My brother, who mistakenly thought that I was influenced by Jiang Xiubai and fell in love with rock music, sent me away that day and had a private conversation with Jiang Xiubai like this..."

Ji Mufeng sighed slightly and said, "However, this sentence was just an excuse I made to get my mother to let me go. What is my real dream? Until now, I still don't have the answer."
