The reason why the Shen family insisted on having Shen Er attend the birthday party was not only because Shen Er was the birthday boy and had to be present, but also because at the birthday party, Chairman Shen was going to announce an important decision - that is, to transfer 7% of the shares of the Shen Group to Shen Er's name, to prove that Shen Er was an adult with full capacity for conduct from today on. However, for Shen Er himself, this operation had no practical effect - even if Chairman Shen transferred the shares to his name, Shen Er would hand them over to Shen Chen and let his eldest brother help manage them.
Unlike Shen Chen, who has been committed to being a qualified family heir since childhood, Shen Er obviously prefers acting to managing the family business. He even felt that he should not have applied to Aurora University in the first place, but instead applied directly to the Film and Television School. Fortunately, Shen Er did not do so at the beginning, because Chairman Shen and Shen Chen would never allow a man from the Shen family to apply for an acting school - unless Shen Er was really a hopeless case.
And Shen Er was able to be admitted to the Economics Department of Aurora University with his grades two years ahead of schedule, so at least he was not a piece of mud. So after the birthday party, Chairman Shen and Shen Chen asked Shen Er to come to the company for internship after school started, but Shen Er firmly refused. And that very night, he sneaked back to H Town while his family was asleep. This willful attitude left the family helpless.
On the crew side, "Tao Mu" was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He just had the happiest birthday in eighteen years. This feeling made him feel so euphoric that he was still thinking about it in the middle of the night. When I entered the group the next morning, I was surprised to find that Shen Er was there too.
"Aren't you back in Shanghai?" Because Shen Er generously helped "Tao Mu" celebrate his birthday, "Tao Mu" was grateful to Shen Er. So I plucked up the courage to come over and talk to him.
Shen Er hadn't slept all night and felt a little tired. He just glanced at "Tao Mu" gloomily and said "hmm".
Seeing that Shen Er was particularly uncomfortable, Tao Mu thought for a moment, then ran out to make Shen Er a cup of honey and brought it over. Shen Er lifted his eyelids and looked at "Tao Mu". He found that "Tao Mu" was wearing the necklace that Shen Yan gave him. He smiled and praised: "It looks pretty good."
Tao Mu touched the jade pendant on his neck uncomfortably and thanked him in a low voice: "This is the first time I have received a birthday gift, and it is also my first birthday."
"Come to think of it, I haven't given you a birthday present yet!" Shen Er forced himself to cheer up and took a sip of honey water: "What do you like?"
Tao Mu was stunned and stared at Shen Er blankly.
Shen Er smiled and said, "We were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, so we are destined to be together."
Tao Mu didn't speak. Finally, Shen Er gave "Tao Mu" a newest fruit phone. He thought that "Tao Mu" had already started working, and it would be more convenient to have a mobile phone.
From that day on, "Tao Mu" became Shen Er's little follower. I follow Fu Ran around and run around every day. Then, when the crew finished filming, he received a salary of 16,000 yuan from Shen Er.
"Tao Mu" looked at Shen Er anxiously. He actually wanted to be Shen Er's assistant. But Shen Er is not a professional actor. School has started and Shen Er has to go back to study. I also have to deal with the requests from my father and elder brother and go to the company for internship on weekends. No assistant is needed. So "Tao Mu" had to move to other crews. But this time, "Tao Mu" is not only a scene attendant, but also a part-time extra. Because he saw Shen Er's dedication to acting. It must be said that although the two people's situations are very different, "Tao Mu" inexplicably wants to target Shen Er. At least at this moment, he wanted to be closer to Shen Er.
Tao Mu in the dream also watched all this with mixed feelings. Because of his experiences before and after his rebirth, Tao Mu has no good feelings towards Shen Yu. He just felt that Shen Yu's brain circuits were abnormal and there was no way to communicate at all.
The dream unfolds from the perspective of "Tao Mu". When "Tao Mu" saw Shen Er again, it was already winter vacation. The drama "Purple Sky" starring Shen Er was launched. Because of his handsome appearance and neat fighting scenes, the drama and the main actors became famous overnight. Shen Er also got a chance to play the second male lead in the movie Jiang Hu.
Shen Er got to know Yan Sheng because of this play. Actor Yan also comes from a wealthy family and loves acting. The two second-generation actors sat together to discuss acting and found a lot in common. And "Tao Mu" happened to be transferred to the crew of "Jiang Hu" and became a special actor.
Seeing Shen Er again, "Tao Mu" was still very excited. He was eager to reminisce with Shen Er, wanting to let Shen Er know what he had experienced in the past few months. However, because he always pestered Shen Er, he accidentally offended another actress in the crew who wanted to get close to Shen Er, so the actress hinted to the props team to teach "Tao Mu" a lesson. The prop master made some adjustments while the wire was hanging. "Tao Mu" fell from the roof and broke his calf.
The crew of "Jiang Hu" paid for Tao Mu's medical expenses, but the role of "Tao Mu" was gone. After learning the truth, Tao Mu hated the actress to the core and took his anger out on Shen Er. However, his status was too low to argue with anyone. Greatly stimulated, Tao Mu decided to climb up at all costs.
After he recovered, he found Shen Er and said that he lost the special role in "Jiang Hu" because of Shen Er, and hoped that Shen Er could help him introduce other roles. Shen Er felt deeply sympathetic towards Tao Mu's experience, not to mention that with his status and position, introducing a newcomer to play some unimportant roles was not a problem at all.
"Tao Mu" relied on Shen Er's connections to join an idol drama as the fourth male lead. Maybe it was luck that struck. After the idol drama was broadcast, the ratings were very high. "Tao Mu" also became a little famous with this role and was spotted by a film and television company to become a contracted actor.
"Tao Mu" used the company's personal connections to climb up by any means necessary. However, whether or not one can become famous sometimes depends not only on promotion but also on luck. "Tao Mu" believes that he has a bad fate. So even after signing a contract with an agency and working hard for two years, he still couldn't become a big star. Tao Mu, who didn't want to accept his fate, began to learn from some of his predecessors in the circle - raising little ghosts and looking for masters to change his fate.
And the person with the best fate in "Tao Mu's" cognition is of course Shen Er. So "Tao Mu" was deceived by various quacks and spent almost all his savings, and also wanted to borrow his life from Shen Er.
I don’t know whether those quacks really worked or it was just luck, but after struggling for several years, "Tao Mu" really became famous thanks to a costume idol drama. And soon became a hot and popular star. At the peak of his popularity, he was even more popular than Shen Er. This also makes "Tao Mu" very proud. He could finally stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Er.
During this period, Shen Er also met Zhuo Yan, a handsome and promising young financial manager, at a financial dinner. However, no matter how promising a young person is, he will become mediocre when faced with a family background like the Shen family.
But what surprised everyone was that this seemingly ordinary financial person actually chased after Shen Er. Of course, the love between the poor boy and the rich and handsome man is destined to be blocked by their families. What's more, Shen Yan, who likes to hire private detectives to investigate the people around her silly brother, also found out Zhuo Yan's true identity - he turned out to be an enemy of the Shen family.
Zhuo Yan's complicated family background, coupled with strong opposition from his family, made Shen Er finally choose to break up. But it's too late. Zhuo Yan deliberately approached Shen Er for revenge. During their relationship, Zhuo Yan had already extracted many business secrets of Shen Group from Shen Er. He also joined forces with the Yao family, an old friend of the Shen family, and secretly arranged many measures. When everything was ready, a car accident occurred, seriously injuring Shen Shiyuan and Shen Chen. Shen Shiyuan died in the operating room before rescue efforts could be made. Chen Chen fell into a deep coma and became a vegetable. The Shen Group was plagued by internal and external troubles and went bankrupt.
The bankruptcy of the Shen family was caused by Shen Er's letting the wolf into the house. Unable to bear the double blow of family bankruptcy and her husband and son's critical illness, Mrs. Shen fell ill. Shen Yan put all the blame on Shen Er. And drove Shen Er out of the Shen family.
When a young man from a wealthy family falls into poverty, it will attract more than just idle gossip from others. After all, Shen Er is so beautiful and proud like a phoenix that always soars in the sky. People can only watch from a distance but dare not play with it. Now that the phoenix has landed, it naturally attracts countless greed. However, Zhuo Yan and Yao Wenxiao, who had previously teamed up to betray Shen Er, went crazy and retaliated against those who had previously troubled Shen Er like mad dogs. He even forced the third son of Xiangcheng Lin's family into a eunuch.
Tao Mu, who watched all this coldly, also found it ridiculous. What’s funny is that Zhuo Yan, this idiot who approached Shen Er under the banner of revenge, actually fell in love with Shen Er. Even after the Shen family went bankrupt and Shen Er was kicked out of the Shen family, he still went to look for Shen Er several times, trying to reconcile with him.
It's a pity that Shen Er, who would rather die than live in disgrace, would never go back to Zhuo Yan after knowing his true face.
What made "Tao Mu" feel even more uncomfortable was that even though Shen Er had fallen into such a miserable situation, the people around him would still stick with him. Not to mention Zhuo Yan and Yao Wenxiao, those two idiots, even Yan Sheng defended Shen Er in every way possible. He even used the Yan family's abilities to help the Shen family make a comeback. Shen Er is worthy of being the blood of the Shen family. He gave up acting to go into business, and he was able to achieve great success in a short period of time. They even found a breakthrough in the dark history of the Yao family's rise to wealth. They dug out a chef named Song from nowhere, helped this person to fight the lawsuit, and actually stole the recipes that the Yao family relied on for survival, directly cutting off the source of funds and destroying the core competitiveness of the Saint An Group from the root.
I don’t know if there is really such a thing as fate conflict, but as Shen Er became more successful in the business world, Tao Mu’s success in the entertainment industry also took a sharp turn for the worse. His past of using any means necessary to get to the top was exposed by his rivals, and he lost several endorsements due to the scandal and was saddled with tens of millions in debt.
The overwhelmed "Tao Mu" determined that this was because his life could not suppress Shen Er. Once again, he had the delusion of changing his fate by using his own life. Do all kinds of weird things every day.
On the other hand, Shen Er, who gave up acting to pursue business, also met Mr. Li of Xiaoheng Capital at a business cocktail party. This Mr. Li is said to be a fan of Shen Er. After getting to know Shen Er, I tried to cooperate with him a few times. After that, he launched a fierce pursuit of Shen Er. Unfortunately, Shen Er has always been brooding over the fact that he had let a wolf into the house, causing the Shen family to be destroyed. He was so focused on revenge that he had no time for anything else.
So Li Xiaoheng made an agreement with Shen Er that he would help Shen Er get revenge and bring Zhuo Yan to justice. After the matter is done, Shen Er will give him a chance. Shen Er agreed.
Li Xiaoheng did what he said and began to use Xiaoheng’s capital and the influence of the Li family to suppress Zhuo Yan. At this time, Zhuo Yan had already swallowed up the Shen Group and became a new business elite. However, he had no way to compete with Li Xiaoheng, who had stronger capital and even deeper background. Zhuo Yan's funding chain was soon broken under Li Xiaoheng's targeting, and the incident of hiring someone to cause a car accident was also uncovered. The evidence is irrefutable and Zhuo Yan faces imprisonment.
Unwilling to accept such an outcome, Zhuo Yan sneaked into Chen Chen's ward in anger and pulled out the oxygen tube. He also stabbed Mrs. Shen and Shen Yan, who were taking care of Shen Chen in the hospital. This is revenge for Shen Er.
When Shen Er arrived at the hospital. Mrs. Shen died on the spot due to excessive blood loss. Shen Yan was only slightly injured under the protection of Mrs. Shen, but her spirit was greatly stimulated. He lost control of his emotions and yelled at Shen Er who came over.
"How come I have a brother like you?"
"It's your fault that the Shen family has become what it is today."
'Why don't you just die! '
"Why are you a member of the Shen family? It would be great if the Shen family never had you!"
Shen Yan cried with tears in every word, and every sentence stabbed Shen Er's heart like a knife. Shen Er also collapsed. He found Zhuo Yan and died together with him. Zhuo Yan knew that he would die without a doubt, and he didn't want to let Shen Er go. Even if we can't be together in life, it would be good to be together in death. When Li Xiaoheng finally found the two people, Chen Er was lying in a pool of blood, with Zhuo Yan, who had already died, next to him.
Shen Er felt sorry for Li Xiaoheng. Because he broke his promise. He and Li Xiaoheng met too late and parted too early. If there is an afterlife, Shen Er only hopes that he could have met Li Xiaoheng earlier.
After losing his beloved, Li Xiaoheng went crazy. He refused to believe that Shen Er was dead, and began to frantically collect everything related to Shen Er. He accidentally learned the secret of "Tao Mu" changing his fate by borrowing his luck.
Li Xiaoheng does not believe in ghosts and gods, but in this situation, Li Xiaoheng can only vent his anger on "Tao Mu". It is very easy for a man with deep capital and strong family background to take revenge on a person with no background at all. "Tao Mu" had a miserable end, but even before his death, "Tao Mu" remained stubborn and unrepentant. He didn't understand why Shen Er was so lucky. Even though he was dead, there were still so many people who missed him.
"Tao Mu" committed suicide in the end. I don't know where this evil magic was learned from, but it is still a method to defy fate and change one's destiny. Trading his life for another's, Shen Er has become "Tao Mu's" obsession. Even if he tried his best, "Tao Mu" wanted to exchange his life with Shen Er.
