"Thank you, little rich lady."
Chen Feng expressed his sincere gratitude.
If it weren't for Li Wanwan's secret investigation, he probably would never have known the real reason why he was "disliked".
"I've helped my brother so much, is he only planning to thank me verbally?"
"So how do you want me to thank you?"
"Brother, feelings in this world are not untrustworthy, you..."
Li Wanwan was only halfway through her sentence when Chen Feng pulled her into his arms, and then a warm kiss landed on her lips.
Upon seeing this, Uncle Zhao and Li Xiaogang both turned their heads away with smiles on their faces.
This couple, who loved each other but couldn't confess their feelings due to psychological barriers, finally came together.
...
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, another two and a half years have passed.
Douyin is no longer a website limited to campuses. With the popularization of smartphones, it has become a national-level app. Not only does it have an unparalleled user activity, but it also has a rich ecosystem including group buying, store visits, influencer live streaming, and Douyin Mall. Along with Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu, it is known by netizens as "BATD".
Chen Feng, as a college student entrepreneur, has appeared on CCTV several times, becoming a nationally renowned entrepreneurial star.
In contrast, Li Wanwan's investment bank is declining rapidly.
This is closely related to the investment decisions of Li Wanwan's father, Li Guangji. In 2007, Li Guangji took his second wife, Gong Chunyan, and young son, Li Jun, to the ocean to make overseas investments and plans. As a result, the United States experienced an economic crisis in 2008. After several years of hard work, Li Guangji not only did not make a fortune, but he also lost everything.
So, at the end of 2010, Li Guangji and his family of three returned to Shanghai in disgrace, shifting the investment focus of Li's investment bank to the domestic market.
At first, everything was fine;
However, starting from the beginning of 2011, ByteDance, a domestic internet giant, has been at odds with Li's investment bank.
When Lee's investment bank built commercial residential properties, ByteDance announced its entry into the real estate industry. Not only did it choose a location next to the residential properties built by Lee's investment bank, but it also offered lower unit prices and better apartment layouts.
When Lee's investment bank entered the short video industry, Douyin poached all of Lee's investment bank's short video bloggers.
Lee's investment bank wanted to get a share of the online group buying market, and Douyin Group Buying launched a price war with its mature supply chain and huge user base.
For a full six months, under Li Guangji's leadership, Li's investment bank made no money and lost all of its principal and interest.
One confrontation could be a coincidence, but what about two? Or three?
Rumors were rampant within Li's investment bank, with almost everyone believing that Li Guangji had inadvertently offended Mr. Chen of ByteDance, which was why he was being targeted repeatedly.
In fact, not only the employees of Li's investment bank, but even Li Guangji was completely confused. He repeatedly asked his friends to introduce Chen Feng and resolve the conflict, but Chen Feng resolutely refused.
Then, gossip about the Li family spread widely on the internet via Douyin.
Before his deceased wife's body was even cold, Li Guangji married her best friend.
What a new lover is, but a vicious stepmother. When his deceased wife's daughter was five years old, she picked up a stray dog, only to have it poisoned to death in front of her by the vicious stepmother.
The story goes that the daughter of a deceased wife wanted to go to the zoo, so the wicked stepmother left her at the zoo entrance for a whole day until the zoo closed, at which point the wicked stepmother reappeared.
There's also a vicious stepmother who's a psychopath who, in order for her biological son to inherit the family fortune smoothly in the future, has been dedicated to "transforming" her deceased wife's daughter into a mindless zombie.
These gossip reports were completely unvarnished, naming names directly, practically hurling insults at Li Guangji and Gong Chunyan.
Gossip about wealthy families is a topic that ordinary people love to talk about. With the added "traffic support" from Douyin, the scandalous affairs of the Li family suddenly became known to everyone. For a time, the internet was filled with insults and abuse directed at Li Guangji and Gong Chunyan.
Li Guangji was furious and sent six lawyer's letters to ByteDance in one go, demanding that Douyin remove the relevant videos.
Unsurprisingly, the lawyer's letter went unanswered, and ByteDance adopted a tough stance of "I'll fight you to the death, but taking the video down is out of the question."
Then, Li Guangji's anger turned into confusion.
Even if he owed Wanwan, what does that have to do with ByteDance?
Why did ByteDance have to chase after Li like a mad dog for six months, even resorting to "cyberbullying"?
With many questions in mind, Li Guangji ordered an investigation into Chen Feng's background.
You won't believe it until you look it up, and what you find will shock you.
It turns out that Chen Feng is Wanwan's boyfriend and her future son-in-law?
So, everything ByteDance did was to help Wanwan vent her anger?
On June 3, 2011, Chen Feng and Li Wanwan visited a cemetery in Shanghai to pay respects to the deceased mother of the "Little Rich Woman".
After a traditional memorial service, Chen Feng sent the young woman and Li Ruixin away, and stood alone in front of the tombstone, muttering to himself.
"Wanwan and I are getting married next month, so I'll call you Mom for now."
"Mom, please don't blame me for using the 'good friend' excuse to delay Wanwan for so long. I had my reasons."
"You don't know this, but my life is borrowed. As my feelings for Wanwan and I deepened, I was afraid that one day I would suddenly go back. You can understand what I mean, right?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat Wanwan well from now on and won't let her suffer any grievances..."
Chen Feng rambled on and on, as if he were talking to his mother-in-law, as if he were talking to himself, and as if he were talking to God.
