Chapter 20: Lin Ziying's Story
Lin Ziying, born in Xiangjiang, has always had a dream. She hopes to marry her favorite prince charming in a majestic castle like a princess. However, as she grows older, this dream has gradually been shattered. The heavy work and the constant pressure on her workplace often make her exhausted.
On her 27th birthday, she ended her second relationship and resigned from her position as assistant to the ATV public relations department. She started her own global trip alone, which was so cool.
The United States is her last stop. After graduating from Princeton University’s social relations, she has a bad impression of the United States. It is full of crises everywhere. Asians need to work several times more to achieve their own success.
In Los Angeles, my backpack was actually robbed by a black man. Fortunately, I was rescued by a Chinese man, Cai Ruiheng, a man who also came from Xiangjiang. To express my gratitude, I invited him to a meal and traveled together for two days. After a passionate night, I left and had no connection.
Love is gone, and life has to continue. She has recovered from her affection and returned to Xiangjiang and applied for a job as the manager of the Public Relations Department of Yinghuang Entertainment. After seeing the various inside stories of the entertainment industry and the rich circles, she even sneered at love.
Lin Ziying originally thought that she had become strangers from now on. She met again at a class reunion during the Spring Festival in 2009, and they were actually high school classmates? They were bucktoothed girls and four-eyed boys. In the three years of high school, except for comparing each other when announcing their grades, they basically never looked at each other in front of each other. Unexpectedly, they had a new opportunity ten years later.
Adults are relatively cautious about their relationship. She is already 27 years old and has long lost her fantasy about love. When she met Cai Ruiheng again in Xiangjiang, she sparked a little flame. After half a month of visiting relatives, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. Finally, when Cai Ruiheng was about to leave after the Spring Festival, the two established a relationship.
In the following years, the two flew to each other to reunite in the city where they were, but in general, they were still less reunited. The distance would make people feel alienated. Lin Ziying, who was nearly thirty years old, was extremely distressed. Could it be that this relationship would end in vain? She once told Cai Ruiheng that he would go back to Xiangjiang, even if he returned to the mainland, so that the distance would be slightly shortened.
"What can you do to make you work wholeheartedly for him? I have been to San Francisco so many times, but I have never seen him once. He has left all his work to you, traveling and having fun, but he has left you here to work hard." This is the last showdown between Lin Ziying in San Francisco in August 2012: "I really can't stand it like this. I am already thirty this year. I don't want to wait until I am forty, but I still can't settle down."
"After being laid off by Morgan Stanley, I lost the value of my life. If it weren't for Charles' help, I would have doubted whether I could still find the value of my life. These two years have been the most important two years of the Wild Fox Company. Charles is confident to hand over this job to me and Peter. I hope to be able to get his trust right." Cai Ruiheng thought for a long time, but in the end he still did not agree to her. Lin Ziying returned to Xiangjiang in pain and buried herself in the heavy public relations work to dilute her love pain again.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2012, on this day when Chinese people value it, Lin Ziying led the Public Relations Department to work overtime. She thought she could show off her skills when applying for the Film Emperor Company, but she didn't expect that the Film Emperor was even more chaotic than ATV. The Film Emperor Crown Prince had another scandal. This was the Nth time he brought the Public Relations Department to help him clean up his bottom. Are the men of the Xiang family all stallions? He gave the entire Film Emperor Company a little beautiful female star... Forget it, let's not say it anymore, if you say too much, you will be angry.
Lin Ziying dragged her tired body back to her apartment in Central. This 100-square-meter apartment is worth tens of millions in Xiangjiang, which is also a considerable luxury house. This was purchased with Cai Ruiheng and her last year to prepare for marriage. Now the two are facing a breakup. Lin Ziying is ready to sell it after this period and return the money he paid to him. After a few people, they will be fine.
"I'm back, and I'll be in China from now on." Looking at the table of sumptuous dinner he prepared and gave himself a hug, he instantly broke the defense he built. Lin Ziying lay in his arms and cried in a mess for the first time. It turned out that their boss returned to China, and also transferred Cai Ruiheng, who had been depressed for this period of time, to China. In the future, the focus of the Wild Fox Company will be on China.
Women are made of water, which is what Cao Xueqin said. She used to think that this was an insult to women. Even when she broke up in the United States, she waved her hands with a strong face. Even when her colleagues asked about this, she said that she was very casual and said that the adult emotional world does not require tears. However, she found that she was wrong. Water is invisible, soft and hard, but women cannot always be strong, and women also have times when they are weak. At this time, she needs a strong arm to support herself.
The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ziying asked the company's actual person in charge Xiang Tai to resign. I will not serve you anymore. Then, under the surprised eyes of a group of subordinates, he packed up his personal belongings and prepared to leave.
In Yanjing, Lin Ziying met the man who admired Cai Ruiheng for the first time and devoted himself to it. She did not let Cai Ruiheng introduce him, but was confident in the position of public relations manager of their company as an applicant. But the other party knew about him for a long time, and the teasing smile when he saw his resume made me a little depressed.
The experience of ATV and Film King gave me great confidence, believing that I could be very good at the Chinese film and television industry. Unexpectedly, I gave myself a big nail at the launch conference of the Bad Monkey Movie Project. I promoted it according to the pre-set plan announcement. Many media ignored it, and several peers did not respond at all. In the end, I looked at Niu Hao's face and came to support it.
However, after a press conference, the Chinese film and television industry seemed to have changed into another appearance overnight. Many media rushed to report it, and the communication between several peers was extremely enthusiastic. After careful understanding, Lin Ziying found that the reason for this situation was that the deep background of her boss was known to the outside world. It turned out that the mainland and Xiangjiang were really different. The market here was larger and there were more ties.
The founding of "Beijing Culture", the boss directly gave Cai Ruiheng 5% of the equity, directly giving him a net worth of over one billion, not to mention the larger Wild Fox Company. If he adds his shares in the United States, his net worth can be doubled. Even in Xiangjiang, this net worth can be counted, and all these come from his boss. As Lin Ziying and Shen Fang have been in contact with Shen Fang, the more he understands that Shen Fang may really think that feelings are more important than money. A company worth hundreds of billions is directly entrusted to Cai Ruiheng, Huo Mingda and Peter far away in San Francisco. What kind of courage does this mean? Cai Ruiheng once said: You treat me with a national hero, and I should repay him with a national hero. Maybe a scholar dies as a confidant, which is what the relationship between their men.
After a busy year, "Beijing Culture" has finally been listed, controlling the market value of tens of billions and the theater market share reaches 25% of the country, Cai Ruiheng has become a celebrity in Xiangjiang. He used to be a big shot in the film and television industry, but now he often asks her for relationships and strives to have a little more screening schedule when the company's films are released. Even Xiang Tai, who was originally unattainable to her, often invites herself to have tea from time to time. These are all brought to him by this man.
Lin Ziying once worried that the temptation in the entertainment industry was so great that Cai Ruiheng, who was in it, could uphold his original intention and treat himself as before? As a world-class rich man, Chen Fang set an example for Cai Ruiheng and others, and officially announced, engaged, got married, and a series of operations directly made Qin Mohan the most jealous person of all women.
Lin Ziying often sighed to her best friend in private that she had found the right person. What does it mean to have birds of feathers of birds of a feather flock together? Perhaps Cai Ruiheng, Shen Fang and Tao Chengren who joined later are all the same type of people. They all depend on men whose feelings are heavier than careers. Such men make people feel at ease.
The stars outside the window shone in through the windows of the castle, sprinkling on the floor of the ancient castle hotel with a mottled look. I was finally getting married, and the dream I had expected before was finally realized. I would wear a white wedding dress and be held by my father, like a princess, in the majestic castle in front of me, under the witness of all relatives and friends, marry the prince charming I like.
