Every epic story is bound to have more than just sweetness.
When Jiang Tian and her mother moved to this small mountain village, they naturally didn't fit in with the villagers.
That was more than 30 years ago.
A young, beautiful, and fashionable woman arrives in a remote village with a minor daughter; no one would find this reasonable.
The mother and daughter spent a considerable amount of time sorting out their lives.
At that time, Jiang Tian's mother became somewhat lax in taking care of her daughter—she herself had a tendency towards depression.
Jiang Tian met Chen Zhendong while playing with the other children in the village.
Since they lived close by, they naturally became playmates.
The children in the village were very xenophobic and wouldn't accept Jiang Tian right away, so Chen Zhendong became the one who protected her.
Later, Jiang Tian moved away with her mother.
As her mother gradually regained her energy, she placed all her hopes on Jiang Tian.
She hoped that Jiang Tian could make something of herself and show those who looked down on them what they were made of.
Under her mother's strict upbringing, Jiang Tian studied hard, devoting all her energy to her studies in order to achieve the goals set for her.
She was very smart and adaptable; ever since she entered that high school, the top spot had never been taken by anyone else.
Later, she was admitted to a very good university with excellent grades.
At university, she reunited with her childhood friends.
Chen Zhendong's family was originally dirt poor, but his parents were lucky and unexpectedly got a job, moved out of that village, and later gradually accumulated some wealth, so they settled down in the city.
For them, their greatest expectation is for their child to get into a good university.
Chen Zhendong isn't the smartest, but he has a lot of athletic talent.
He took the path of a sports student, gritted his teeth, and got into the same university as Jiang Tian.
Actually, they were in the same city at that time, and Chen Zhendong had a chance encounter with Jiang Tian.
At that time, Jiang Tian, who was focused on her studies, had no one else in her eyes except for exams.
She had to fulfill her mother's wish, otherwise her mother might really go crazy one day.
Jiang Tian is seen as a cold and aloof goddess by others, and she never interacts with these kinds of people.
Chen Zhendong probably never expected that he would meet people from his past again.
He spent a lot of time finding out which university Jiang Tian wanted to attend.
He researched and inquired through various channels, and finally decided to pursue the path of a sports student, just so that he could enter the same university as Jiang Tian.
What else could it be but love for someone to do something like this for another person?
The two finally reunited at university.
“He was really stupid back then. He couldn’t even make up a story. He got into this university for my sake, but he insisted on saying it was to fulfill his parents’ wishes. His parents were barely literate and didn’t know anything about universities other than the top ones. If he hadn’t been so determined, how could he have gotten to me?”
As Jiang Tian spoke, a look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
Xie Linchuan watched her from the side and suddenly felt that the distance between them was still very far.
He had never seen Jiang Tian so gentle before.
What followed was perfectly logical: the two of them got together.
Jiang Tian was just trying it out, wanting to have some fun dating.
After all, she went to university, escaped her mother's heavy pressure, and achieved the goals her mother had set for her. She was determined to live her own life.
Chen Zhendong was overjoyed.
"He's not smart at all; he's all brawn and no brains. That's the simplest way to describe him. I don't even know when he started liking me. Anyway, he just followed me to school, and we started dating. Our relationship was pretty uneventful, without any major ups and downs."
“He was the one who gave the most in that relationship. His family had some money, while I still had to get scholarships and work part-time. Naturally, he couldn’t bear to see me suffer, so he insisted on taking care of me.”
The feelings we had back then were beautiful and pure.
Jiang Tian did not want to accept gifts from others, since she could earn her living expenses and tuition fees by working part-time.
Unable to dissuade her, Chen Zhendong followed her around and worked alongside her.
When he likes someone, he's all-consuming and willing to give anything for her.
In her sophomore year, Jiang Tian discovered a business opportunity—she wanted to start her own business.
Having suffered from poverty since childhood, the seeds of resentment had already been sown in her heart.
She wanted to create her own business, be her own boss, and take control of her own destiny.
Once she found an opportunity, how could she possibly let it go?
Chen Zhendong, of course, unconditionally supported her.
In his heart, his girlfriend was the best, and whatever she said was right.
Moreover, Jiang Tian is exceptionally outstanding.
The two have always been a model couple. Chen Zhendong takes the lead and follows his wife's lead. Jiang Tian quickly secured several investments through her own abilities and started her own entrepreneurial journey.
Chen Zhendong has been helping her.
They were young people, and back then the laws weren't as comprehensive as they are now. There were many loopholes to exploit, and many people set traps for them.
"At that time, I couldn't recruit many employees. I needed to manage the core employees and work on projects with them. After all, an opportunity is an opportunity, and if you don't seize it, it will slip away in the next second."
“A person’s energy is limited. Some of the peripheral employees have a lower level of education and always think that women are inferior to men. They don’t think that a college graduate like me can make any noise. So Chen Zhendong played an important role in this. He eliminated these people when screening employees. He helped me a lot and also managed the employees he personally screened very well.”
The two of them were essentially divided into two groups: one was responsible for the trivial matters, and the other was responsible for the technical aspects.
Good allocation leads to high efficiency.
Jiang Tian's business quickly took off.
She was so clever that it was her own skill that she managed to eat meat while surrounded by wolves.
"As the company gradually gets back on track, I'm also considering whether or not to marry Chen Zhendong. You know, he's actually right next to me, and our relationship is no different from that of an old married couple. He's such a clingy person, always calling me 'wife, wife,' and dreaming about marrying me and having a few kids."
"Unfortunately, I was too busy. We hadn't even graduated from university yet, and I didn't think much about it. It wasn't until the company stabilized that I realized there was this fool who liked me so much and was willing to follow me, even putting all his own needs after mine. Why would I need to break up with him? For an ambitious person, a stable family is actually a good thing."
"I firmly believe that Chen Zhendong will always be my support."
