Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

At the turn of spring and summer, Shen Qin and Cang Yan reunited. Having endured countless life-and-death struggles, tangled up in each other's arms and legs, through the scorching summer and clear autumn, from budding to fruitful blossoms, with winter approaching and snow around the corner, Cang Yan finally set a date for his confession.

"Shen Qin, let's celebrate New Year's Eve together, okay?"

"it is good."

At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed. The sun, moon, and stars revolve around each other, looking brand new and reborn. Cang Yan couldn't find a better time than this. They would celebrate the new year together. When the New Year's bell rang, he would offer his whole heart to Shen Qin.

Cang Yan made the most comprehensive plan, meticulously arranged the venue for the confession, and calculated every detail carefully, striving to achieve perfection.

All of this had to be kept secret from Shen Qin, so while he and Shen Qin were living a sweet and nonchalant life, he quietly split up and made detailed arrangements. This secret excitement was like a burst of electricity flowing through his heart, excitement, anticipation, eagerness, but he had to pretend to be calm.

He specially ordered two wedding rings, simple and classic rings inlaid with crystal clear sapphires. The deep blue is as mysterious and distant as the sea, containing the vitality that carries the planet, indicating that love is as deep and vast as the sea, connecting with the heaven and the earth. Beneath the deep tranquility is the heat boiling like magma. As long as the sea does not dry up and the rocks do not rot, this love will never change.

Cang Yan believed that he couldn't just say those three words. While classic, words alone weren't enough. He meticulously planned the coolest pose possible, kneeling on one knee. He wanted to securely bind Shen Qin with the ring. This wasn't just a confession; it was a commitment to spend the rest of his life with her.

Many people confess their love many times in their lives, some deeply, some perfunctorily, and some without thinking. But Cang Yan was different. This was his one and only true love, a love that consumed the first half of his life and would never be repeated in the rest.

For a top love-brained person like him, love cannot be said lightly. Once it is spoken, it is 100% sincere and committed. Pure love is as flawless as a white jade, without a trace of dust. Therefore, it cannot be perfunctory, sloppy, or at the wrong time. Any flaw is a blasphemy to true love.

His love for Shen Qin is perfect and pure, without a trace of worldliness or comparison. All gains and losses cannot be compared with his love.

In ancient times, people had to fast and bathe during major ceremonies. Cang Yan also wanted to rinse himself inside and out three times, burn incense and bathe to announce it to heaven and earth before confessing his love.

The end of the year is approaching and New Year's Eve is just around the corner. Everything is ready. Cang Yan rubs his hands. He is about to face the most important moment in his life.

Just at this moment, a visitor arrived.

"Mr. Cang, business is booming." The man had a flattering look on his face, with wrinkles appearing on his face when he smiled. His unattractive facial features made him look even more wretched, which was annoying to look at.

"It's you?"

Cang Yan couldn't help but frown. This man was called Xue Fugui, the president of Fuan Group.

Usually, there is only one thing that people come to you for: making money.

Cang Yan's approach is also very simple. He will consider win-win situations, ask those who are not interested to leave, kick out those who make grandiose claims of getting something for nothing, and will not even meet those who are not famous enough and overestimate their own abilities.

Compared with the giant ship Canglong, Fuan Group is just a small boat. The gap in status is huge, and Xue Fugui's investment plan is simply to make money. His project plan is not even as good as the PPT made by an intern. It is sloppy and perfunctory, and he is too lazy to do the superficial work.

Cang Yan glanced at the plan casually and threw it aside. "What fool would invest in a plan like this? No matter how much money I have, I can't throw it into the water."

"You can't say that." Xue Fugui grinned so hard that his teeth were visible, and he spitted out his yellow teeth. "What's our relationship? I'm not an outsider. Just because of the relationship between our two families, will you consider it again, nephew?"

Xue Fugui's "nephew" had a background, which was why he, despite his status, could still see Cang Yan. He and Cang Song were related in some way, and in terms of seniority, they could barely be considered brothers, so calling Cang Yan "nephew" was not too outrageous.

This guy was desperately trying to get close to Cang's father. Cang Yan had seen him a few times and knew that his relationship with his family was very distant. If it were truly mutually beneficial, Cang Yan could have gone along with it and given him some face, but if he signed this stupid project that was purely for money, he would be an idiot. What a messed-up relative, even if his uncle came, he wouldn't give him face.

Even if Cang Yan gave you face because you didn't hit him on the head with the teacup, who is your nephew? How can you let him scream like that? You are sick.

Shen Qin and Zhou Liwen met again in late autumn and early winter. The turmoil caused by Zhou Liwen made him determined to take Cang Yan and abandon his classmate. After all these years, he had never had this person, nor did he need this person. They were just classmates, not close friends.

Shen Qin hadn't been to the coffee shop for a long time, and no matter how much the owner begged him, he refused to go. He politely declined Zhou Liwen's request to meet him, but after several attempts, the other party finally understood and the two of them stopped contacting each other.

Near the end of the year, just when he agreed to spend the New Year's Eve with Cang Yan, Zhou Liwen appeared again, this time with an irresistible reason: "I have something in my hand that may reveal the truth of that year."

Shen Qin hesitated for a long time, but ultimately succumbed to his curiosity. He wanted to know what Zhou Liwen had in his hands, and even more so, he wanted to know what had happened to the Shen family back then. Was there really a conspiracy? Who had the Shen family offended? What was the truth?

When the two met, Zhou Liwen sighed, "Long time no see."

Shen Qin had no time to reminisce about the past. "What do you have in your hand? Let me see."

Zhou Liwen didn't hesitate and immediately transferred a file to Shen Qin's mobile phone. It was a video.

Shen Qin didn't click it immediately. He took a few deep breaths, his hands shaking slightly. This wasn't someone else's gossip, or distant news. It was his Shen family's secret.

He didn't dare to think about what he was about to see. Whatever it was, it would take him back to that painful moment and tear the healed wound in his heart apart again.

The truth was before his eyes. No matter what it was, no matter how heartbreaking it was, he had to know it. Even if it meant death, he had to know the truth. Shen Qin pressed the play button.

"Nephew, please don't turn your back on me. Back then, I helped you vent your anger. I put so much thought into your words. You don't treat me as a relative, but I really treat you as my nephew."

"What's all this nonsense? What does it mean?"

"Oh, you're such a forgetful person! Let me remind you, why did you go abroad back then? Who forced you to leave?"

Shen Qin pressed the play button, and a very familiar face appeared in the camera.

"Did that kid surnamed Shen set you up back then? Your father forced you to go abroad. What did you say before you left? You said you had to get rid of this rage and make that kid surnamed Shen kneel down and beg you. So, I'll help you crush the Shen family!"
