While you can compare and compete on the things you buy in your daily life, the business world is ever-changing. You never know who might make a fortune with a big deal today, or whose business might fall through.
The Shu family takes a fairly normal approach to this. Although they often compete with the Du family for partners and resources, they don't make a big deal out of it even if they don't win.
On the contrary, his family was always anxious and insecure. Every time the Shu family stole the limelight, his grandfather and parents would get so angry that they would jump up and down.
For a period of time, the Du family was in a bad situation, and the Shu family took away their partners and resources one after another.
His parents tried everything but couldn't get it. Finally, after thinking it over, they came up with a metaphysical idea: they took a kettle of boiling water and went to the entrance of the Shu family's company in the middle of the night, and killed their money tree.
From then on, his family kept having weird ideas.
They either kill someone's money tree by watering it, or they sprinkle horse urine or incense ash on the base of their company's wall, or they deliberately drive their car near someone's house in the middle of the night and honk their horn like crazy.
Alternatively, they might use leverage against someone else's employees to lure them to their side, offering high salaries to poach them from the other company.
Once, Du Chenzhou's father, Du Weizhe, tried to poach the young financial director from the Shu family, but she refused and even informed the Shu family.
The Shu family managed to steal three of their business deals.
Du Weizhe was furious and harbored resentment. In the middle of the night, he ambushed the young girl on her way home, pulled her into a corner, and attempted to take advantage of her. He almost succeeded.
If Shu Ying's father, Shu Wenyuan, hadn't happened to pass by and saved the little girl, she would probably have been killed by him.
Du Weizhe was arrested by Shu Wenyuan and detained in the police station for a few days. After his release, he held a grudge against the Shu family and became even more ruthless, constantly seeking revenge and relentlessly pursuing them.
In short, they did nothing but despicable things.
Although the Shu family is not a philanthropic family, they have reached their limit and will naturally retaliate when they are bullied.
The two sides became sworn enemies, and the conflict escalated.
At the height of the conflict, the Du family was so enraged that they threatened to dig up all of the Shu family's ancestral graves, ensuring that no one from their ancestors for eighteen generations to their current descendants could live in peace.
That's why Grandpa Shu had taken steps to protect the ancestral graves and even hired a grave keeper.
Unexpectedly, the person who arrogantly boasted about digging up other people's ancestral graves ended up having his own ancestral grave struck by lightning and completely dug up.
Many people privately say that this is retribution for those who have committed heinous and evil deeds, and that the Du family deserves it.
Thinking of this, Du Chenzhou felt extremely complicated.
Shu Ying had been living abroad for a long time, and got married after returning to China.
Although Du Chenzhou knew that Shu Ying was getting married, he still didn't know who her husband was.
The situation was already chaotic at the time, and the family sensed that something bad might happen, so as a precaution, they transferred all their assets overseas.
Du Chenzhou's feelings back then were much more complicated than they are now. On the one hand, he felt that his dream had been shattered—the girl he had liked for so many years had become someone else's wife before he even had a chance to get close to her.
He didn't even have the chance to get close to her or say a few more words to her.
During that time, he was distraught and had no idea how to deal with his long-standing unrequited love.
He was unwilling to give up, but he also couldn't accept that Shu Ying was already married. What could he do? He couldn't just wait for her to get a divorce, could he?
In those days, not many people got divorced, and whether or not to get divorced was not something he could control.
Waiting on and on, it seems like it will never come.
Moreover, Shu Ying has never given him a second glance in all these years. Even if he keeps waiting, even if Shu Ying really gets divorced, he may not necessarily become Shu Ying's next partner.
Just as he was feeling sad in secret, he heard from somewhere that Shu Ying's husband was a very good person, good-looking and capable, and that he and Shu Ying seemed to have a very good relationship.
